Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"What does it matter? Madam can choose one too..."

“…” Charles gasped: “Forget it, ordinary women can’t compare to my fiancée.”

Ted asked in surprise, "Could it be that they don't meet your standards? That's right, with a lady as beautiful as you, it's only natural that."

Charles coughed. "What I mean is, could we get a different batch?"

Ted paused, leaning back tactically: "What are your interests?"

“I prefer younger ones. Yours look like my mother.” Charles revealed a tempting expression.

"Ah... ah!" Ted said apologetically, as if he had just realized something. "I forgot your age, young master. It's alright. I also have a lover suitable for you..."

What kind of tiger and wolf words is this!

You're over 40, aren't you?

……

The servants who had been summoned withdrew, and new women arrived one after another.

Charles examined each of the newly arrived items, searching for his target.

Everyone sat down at the gambling table, and after Ted gave a brief introduction to his fellow gamblers, the game began.

"Let's play cards, is there a problem?"

"No."

Charles swirled his wine glass, gazing intently at the six gamblers before him.

There was no cheating with the props, and the dealer didn't do anything underhanded...

That's true. This is a city of heroes, and simple tricks can't fool the eyes of those adventurers.

Ciel hummed a song, a smirk playing on his lips: "Let's begin."

As the cards were dealt one by one, Charles closed his eyes and softly sang a beautiful melody.

Ted stared at Charles in surprise: "Sir, aren't you going to look at your cards?"

"There's no need for that. Winning or losing is all about luck, isn't it? Watching won't change the outcome!"

"Heh, you're right. I'll go first, how about twenty chips?"

“I’ll double it,” another gambler interjected.

Charles chuckled: "Follow!"

The third card is dealt.

After looking at his cards, Ted sneered, "I'll call another twenty."

Charles, still without looking at his cards, declared: "Call!"

till the end……

"open!"

Charles gestured to his servant to lift the curtain: "Looks like I've won."

Three Kings, a leopard!

Ted stared wide-eyed at Charles in disbelief.

Cheating? No, he didn't touch the cards at all, how could that be?

"What good luck, sir. Shall we continue?"

Charles grunted and gestured.

second round.

It's still repeating the pattern from the first round.

This time, Ted looked at the three Queens in his hand with great confidence.

He gestured to the other gamblers with his eyes, and they responded with the same confident look.

He has three Kings in his hand.

Great, plus the three Jacks that Ted signaled the dealer to give to Charles, that'll definitely be enough to make him lose his shirt.

"I'll add twenty chips!"

"and."

"I'll add another twenty."

"and……"

"I'm thirty..."

"That's enough, adding chips little by little is too much trouble, I'm going all in." With a whoosh, Charles pushed all the chips on the table to the center.

Ted gasped: "These are chips worth hundreds of millions? You're really going all in?"

"Can't afford to play anymore?" Charles raised an arrogant smile.

Ted was overjoyed: "Great, we'll join in too!"

With a whoosh, all the chips were pushed onto the gambling table, and a gambler excitedly unwound his hand.

"A straight flush!"

Charles sneered dismissively.

Another gambler revealed his cards: "Big! Three fours!"

When it was the next gambler's turn, he trembled and dared not reveal his cards.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Ted asked in surprise.

The man shuddered slightly and slowly revealed his trump card...

There are three Jacks.

"Hmm?" Ted's expression changed.

Didn't the three Jacks get given to the kid?

A cold sweat instantly trickled down Ted's forehead.

Charles put his arm around Ryu's waist, whispered in her ear, and turned to say sarcastically, "What? Too scared to drive?"

Ted's face was dark, his hand pressed down on the hole card, unable to move at all.

Charles looked up at Ted, then gently reached out and revealed one of his cards...

It's A!

Ted's face grew increasingly grim, and Charles grinned, staring at Ted as he flipped over the second sheet.

Still A!

Ted's eyes turned sinister: "Sir, are you here on purpose to sabotage my business?"

“Mr. Ted, what makes you say that?” Charles sneered. “I still have one card to turn over. Maybe it’s a King?”

Charles gently raised his finger, and just as the playing card was about to be flipped, a sound of shattering glass rang out.

At the end of the corridor, a blonde fox woman staggered forward, carrying a wine bottle half her height.

The sound of shattering glass made the little fox girl tremble, and the wine bottle in front of her shook more and more violently.

"Guards!!" Ted shouted menacingly, smashing his cup as a signal.

From behind the room, dozens of fully armed servants suddenly emerged, wielding sharp blades and staring fiercely at Charles.

Charles glanced at the fox woman who was about to fall, toying with the last card, and leaned back tactically:

"Don't pretend?"

“I don’t know how you cheated in front of us, but you won’t be leaving this room today without leaving three fingers behind,” Ted sneered.

"Tsk tsk, if you had waited a little longer, you might have won," Charles said jokingly, looking at his deck of cards.

"Huh? What do you mean? Isn't yours an A?" Ted looked suspicious and temporarily stopped the thug who was about to step forward.

Charles snapped his fingers, picked up his wine glass, and called out to the fallen fox woman, "Come here."

Haruhime let out a frightened groan and stumbled into Ciel's arms:

"Ugh, don't kill me~~~"

"Kill you?! How could I bear to? I'm here to save you! Come with me!"

"Huh?! Save me?" The little fox's eyes widened, and the next moment its body was lifted into the air.

"Hey, eh, eh, eh~~~"

Ah, goal achieved. Charles tucked the little fox under his arm and pressed one hand against the edge of the table.

With a whoosh, the chips and cards scattered all over the floor.

He sneered at Ted:

"Do you really believe it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a playing card with an Ace drawn on it grazed Ted's cheek, stuck to the seat behind him, and trembled slightly.

Chapter 283 Who did you hire to deal with me?

The playing card sliced ​​open Ted's cheek. He wiped away the seeping blood and roared:

"Do you know whose territory this is? Who gave you the audacity to plot against me, Lord Ted?!"

"Ha, how do you know who I am? How dare you steal my money?" Charles retorted sarcastically.

"Damn it, you're asking for it! Kill him! Don't let him walk out alive!" Ted waved his hand and sneered, "Your female companion is quite something. After I kill you, I can have some fun with her."

“No.” He suddenly let out a grotesque laugh: “I’m going to tie you to a chair and watch me play.”

Charles's playful expression gradually turned cold, and his chaotic eyes, like those of a ferocious beast, exuded a dangerous aura.
