In the end, the gambling game began in a strange atmosphere.

After glancing at the chips in front of Loren, the four other players tacitly chose not to speak.

They had hoped to meet some unfamiliar, newly wealthy individual to get acquainted with...

Forget it... just treat it as a bit of fun...

Anyway, the banker was the casino behind that dealer, and it had nothing to do with them.

Most importantly, the dangerous aura Loren exuded made no one willing to rashly offend this superhuman of unknown origin.

Making enemies recklessly was not a good habit.

The card game began.

The other four gamblers each pushed out 1000 points worth of chips.

Loren, however, only pushed five chips with the number ’1’ towards the banker.The raven in his mind also timely activated ”Fortune”.

This time, to maintain a low profile, Loren chose not to activate the ability himself.

Instead, he let the raven in its attached state activate the ability, which was much more discreet.

Two cards were dealt in front of Loren by the dealer.

A 9 and an Ace, totaling 10 points.

Only one card was revealed in front of the dealer, a 7, while the other remained face down.

The dealer began asking everyone if they wanted another card.

The lady in the black dress had two cards adding up to 17 points, and she chose not to draw another.

The portly man and the young man in the leather jacket also chose not to draw.

The portly man had 19 points, the leather-jacket youth had 18 points; both had pretty good hands.

Only Loren, the middle-aged man in the black suit, and the dealer himself chose to draw another card.

Loren had 10 points, the black-suited middle-aged man’s two cards added up to 9 points.

Another card was added in front of Loren, a face card representing 10 points.

His three cards now totaled 20 points.

The black-suited middle-aged man also received another card, a 5.

His total was now 14 points.

The dealer also drew a card for himself, a 3.

The dealer now had three cards; his two face-up cards totaled 10 points, and the remaining face-down card was unknown.

The dealer asked again if the two wanted another card.

Loren waved his hand to refuse. 20 points was already plenty; he just needed to beat the banker represented by the dealer.

The black-suited middle-aged man chose to draw another card.

Another card was dealt by the dealer, a 6.

His four cards now totaled 20 points, the same as Loren’s score.

Subsequently, he also refused to draw more.

Seeing that both men had 20 points, the dealer sighed inwardly. Their luck was truly good. His own hand was already strong, yet he still lost.

Then, the dealer revealed his face-down card, a 9.

His three cards totaled 19 points.

Among the five gamblers, except for Loren and the black-suited middle-aged man, the other three lost.

The most frustrated was the portly man, who cursed under his breath.

He also had 19 points, but with a tie, the banker wins.

One round ended.

Loren won 5 points worth of chips. He now had 15 points worth of chips in front of him.

The black-suited middle-aged man also gained a thousand points worth of chips in front of him.

He had bet a thousand points, and the payout for the round was one-to-one.

The gambling game began again.

......

Half the night passed, and it was now 2 AM.

In front of Loren, chips worth 3500 points had accumulated.

Piled up, they formed a sizable stack, though most of the chips had small numerical values.

Clearly, the dealer’s ”luck” was not as good as Loren’s.

Of the other four gamblers, except for that middle-aged man,

the other three had also lost some to the dealer. Combined, the three had lost nearly 8,000 points worth of chips.

And that middle-aged man had won nearly 30,000 points worth of chips.

This gambling table was the one with the biggest losses in the casino tonight.

As the banker, the dealer had lost over 25,000 points worth of chips in half a night.

Twenty-five thousand Spirit Stones, two hundred and fifty million Federation coins.

The dealer kept wiping sweat from his face.

Finally, after the black-suited middle-aged man won another three thousand points worth of chips,

the dealer raised his hand to surrender, signaling defeat. The authority limit in his hands was exhausted. The guests could either form their own game or switch to another table.

Seeing this, the black-suited man just shrugged in agreement. In his good mood, he waved his hand, letting the dealer off.

Immediately, he turned and asked the other four, including Loren.

”Gentlemen, ladies, care to form a game for a round?”

Clearly, he was on a roll and unwilling to stop just yet.

The lady in the black dress declined with a wave of her hand.

”Next time.”

She rose gracefully and left with her two bodyguards behind her.

The portly man also stood up and declined:

”Your luck is so hot tonight, it’s not like I have nowhere else to spend my Spirit Stones...”

After saying this, he dragged his bulky body away, his four bodyguards hurriedly following.

The young man in the leather jacket remained seated at the table, unmoving, his expression hesitant.

Clearly, he wanted to play a bit more, but was somewhat intimidated by the middle-aged man’s luck tonight.

Just then, the portly man, who hadn’t gone far, stopped and turned to advise the young man:

”Kid, don’t play anymore. For the sake of us losing together, let me teach you something: when your luck is bad, go home and sleep.”

The young man, whose face still showed conflict, upon hearing this, also stood up and bid farewell to the middle-aged man:

”Forget it, my luck’s not good tonight. I’ll play another day.”

The leather-jacket young man also left.

At the gambling table, only Loren, who was watching this scene with great interest, and the middle-aged man who had proposed forming a game remained.

Unlike the sexy lady and the portly man, there were no bodyguards behind the middle-aged man.

Clearly, he was also a superhuman, and one quite confident in his own strength.

After the leather-jacket young man left, the middle-aged man saw Loren still sitting at the table with no intention of leaving, instead staring at him with keen interest.

A satisfied smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face: ”My friend, shall we continue playing?”

”Sure,” Loren replied with a smile.

Thus, the dealer, who had exhausted his authority, silently took on the role of card dealer at the middle-aged man’s indication.

The gambling game began again.

A game belonging solely to Loren and the middle-aged man.

......

Dawn soon broke.

The smile had vanished from the middle-aged man’s face.

Only a few chips marked ”20” remained in front of him.

His eyes, filled with intense unwillingness, were fixed on the cards dealt by the dealer.

”Damn it!! Busted again!!!”

He had three cards in front of him now.

The first two were a 5 and a 7. The last one was a face card, representing 10 points.

A total of 22 points, an automatic loss.

Across from him, Loren had only two cards, totaling just 14 points.

Loren smiled, reached out, and took the last few chips from in front of the middle-aged man. Then, leisurely looking at the other man, he asked:

”Care to continue?”

Hearing Loren’s question, the middle-aged man who had lost everything waved his hand helplessly.

Then, the middle-aged man closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and visibly relaxed with a sigh of relief.

Finally lost it all!!!

The pressure was too great. In half a night, he had only won one hand!!!!

Losing everything actually felt much more relaxing...

”I can’t gamble against you, I admit defeat. By the way, will you be coming again tomorrow night?”
