Navigator: I have a double six-story house

Chapter 83 True gamblers never believe in luck.

Han Ce was excited. He placed his fingers on the cards, ready to deal them.

"etc!"

Su Qing raised her hand, stopping Han Ce from dealing the cards.

Han Ce didn't understand what was going on. The contract had already been signed, was this a sign that he was going to back out?

Su Qing crossed her arms, leaned back, and looked at Han Ce with distrust.

"You're betting so high on this last round, who knows if you'll cheat?"

Upon hearing this, the gamblers watching the spectacle exchanged bewildered glances.

Could it be that this lucky kid has finally started to get serious, and his previous behavior was all an act?

Han Ce frowned slightly, but did not panic.

Because more than one solution had already been prepared.

He put down the playing cards and spread his hands.

"Okay, then you tell me what to do."

Su Qing glanced around the bar, her gaze finally settling on Luther, who was sitting in a corner, holding a glass of red wine.

Su Qing raised her chin and gestured towards Luther's direction.

"Let him send it."

"Mr. Luther is in charge of the Windbreak Guild's outpost; surely he wouldn't show favoritism towards anyone in something like this?"

Han Ce almost burst out laughing.

He glanced at Luther, who nodded slightly to him.

Everything is going according to plan.

He wasn't the only one who cheated; Deacon Luther was also a skilled card player.

"Sure." Han Ce handed the cards to Luther generously, even adding, "Mr. Luther is a fair man, and I trust him."

Luther stepped forward, took the playing cards, but did not use them.

Instead, he took out a brand new, unopened deck of cards from his pocket, opened it in front of the two of them, and handed it to them for inspection.

Han Ce pretended to examine it carefully.

"There's nothing wrong with the cards."

Su Qing did not check, saying, "I believe in Mr. Luther's character."

After saying that, he winked at Luther in front of Han Ce. The look in his eyes was so obvious that he was blatantly asking Luther to give him good cards.

Han Ce saw this scene clearly and was almost amused by Su Qing's actions.

Is this idiot giving my ally a meaningful look right in front of me?

It's important to know that the entire situation today, from Luo Wei's initial approach to this all-in betting game, was arranged by Luther.

He even gave Luther a meaningful look, asking Luther to help him?

This is a classic case of being sold out and then helping the seller count the money.

Han Ce lowered his head, covering the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand; he was beginning to look forward to it.

I'm looking forward to seeing Su Qing's expression when she reveals her hand and discovers it's a useless one.

Luther began to demonstrate his superb card skills; the cards danced in his hands like butterflies, a delightful sight to behold.

After shuffling the cards, he waved his hand, and the two bottom cards slid to their respective fronts.

In this round, both sides practically went all in, and there was no more talk about raising or not raising.

Luther immediately turned over five community cards.

A, A, K, Q, 7

The suit is one Ace of Hearts and the rest are all Spades.

After the community cards were revealed, Han Ce glanced down at his own hole cards.

Two Aces.

Adding the two Aces in the community cards, that makes four Aces.

Steady!

Han Ce could no longer suppress his smile; he had been acting for so long and was exhausted.

The contract has long been signed, the cards have been dealt, and it's time to reap the rewards.

He threw his head back and burst into maniacal laughter, so loud that the surrounding gamblers thought he had gone mad.

"Young man."

He pushed his chair back, stood up, and looked down at Su Qing.

Do you know what naivety is?

Su Qing didn't flip the card; she simply looked up at him with a calm expression.

Han Ce tapped his index finger on the table and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"That's exactly the kind of person you are."

"A complete idiot who knows nothing but thinks he can win!"

His voice was loud and clear, and could be heard throughout the bar and by the people gathering outside.

"You were shouting quite loudly when you won those last few hands, weren't you?"

"You think you're really lucky today?"

He leaned down, placed his hands on the table, and spoke in a cold voice.

"You're about to lose everything."

The surroundings were quiet, and the onlookers were speculating that the captain must have an incredibly powerful hand, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant.

It seems that this man named Han Ce will become the legendary captain with dual talents in the future.

Whispers rang out all around, and some people had already made up their minds to find a way to get on Han Ce's side.

Su Qing picked at his ear, his face still sporting that smug smile.

He sighed inwardly, thinking, "This Han Ce isn't any good either."

The show hadn't even ended, and they'd already stopped performing.

Unlike him, he's a good actor and will act until the very end.

"Brother Han's hand looks very strong."

Han Ce snorted coldly.

"It's not just what it looks like."

Su Qing leaned back in her chair, her hands behind her head, her tone relaxed.

"But don't get too excited yet, I'm really lucky today."

Han Ce laughed angrily.

This guy hasn't even looked at his cards, yet he dares to say he has good luck?

"I suggest you take a look at your own cards first," Han Ce tapped the table. "Also, young man, I advise you not to be too arrogant!"

Su Qing picked at her ear.

"What kind of young person wouldn't be full of vigor?"

Han Ce couldn't stand this clown anymore, so he suddenly flipped over his cards and slammed two Aces on the table.

"Four As!"

His gaze was fixed on Su Qing's face, waiting for that face to reveal the despair he had been anticipating.

Su Qing finally lowered her head and casually touched the ring on her finger, the ring that possessed the power of rules.

Su Qing glanced at her hand and the expression of utter despair she had imagined indeed appeared on her face.

But it didn't appear on the face of the person who should have been there; instead, it appeared on Luo Wei's face, who was standing next to Su Qing.

Han Ce sensed something was wrong and felt a chill run down his spine.

Su Qing smiled, but the smile was somewhat terrifying.

"I told you I was lucky!"

He revealed his cards: a Jack of Spades and a Ten of Spades.

Adding the three cards from the community set, you have the best hand.

"Royal Flush!"

Royal flush.

Su Qing stood up, twisted his neck, and smiled.

There wasn't a trace of the "naive young man" from before in that smile.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Luther."

After saying that, he winked at Luther, giving him the exact same wink as before.

The surrounding area instantly erupted in chaos.

"Holy crap, did Luther take over that newbie's gang?"

"No wonder they were exchanging glances; they really were in cahoots!"

"The head of the chamber of commerce helped gamblers cheat; is that even allowed?"

Luther's face turned completely pale, and he almost dropped the wine glass.

"No...I didn't! That's not true!" He took two steps back. "I didn't help him at all! I..."

"You fucking bastard!!!"

Han Ce suddenly stood up, his chair flying backward and crashing into the wall.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Luther.

"So it was you who tricked me!!"

"I'm not..."

Han Ce had already pounced on him.

Then, his body suddenly collapsed.

It felt like someone had removed his bones; his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

A tremendous sense of weakness surged from the depths of my body, spreading to every part of my limbs and bones.

The loser's talent is forcibly transferred.

Su Qing looked down at Han Ce, who was lying on the ground like a dog, and gently stroked the ring on her finger.

Just then, a piece of information flooded into my mind.
