……

At first, Dong Tianbao was worried that Nie Aotian wouldn't be the dealer, leaving him with no way to make a move.

Now!

He wants the money, and he wants the gambling ship too.

Dong Tianbao's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile, his eyes gleaming: "They're all mine, all mine."

"Boss, when the betting opens, have the brothers put all their money on Long Si. Remember, spread out the bets so no one notices."

Dong Tianbao gave the instructions again.

Although Liang Kun is usually a bit crazy, he's never hesitant when it comes to making money. Plus, given Dong Tianbao's past actions, he seems to have unconditionally trusted and supported him. Liang Kun immediately chuckled.

"Are you planning to get revenge for your future father-in-law? He just gave us five casinos, and now you're digging into his past. You're even more cunning than me, but I like it, hehe..."

Han Bin, Da Fei, and Shisan Mei listened with trepidation, but when they thought about making big money and since they weren't the ones being tricked, they didn't care!

Just as a group of people were laughing like lunatics.

The lights in the casino suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few spotlights shining on the pre-prepared gambling tables.

Wearing a tuxedo, Luo Jiaying walked onto the stage with a microphone and announced in a passionate voice: "Distinguished guests, esteemed veterans and masters of the gambling world, the preliminary rounds of the first Asian God of Gamblers Competition are now officially beginning!"

As Luo Jiaying finished speaking, the first round of the preliminary competition adopted a two-player format—rolling dice to determine the winner.

Two people take turns rolling dice to compare their scores. The rules are simple, but it requires a lot of skill.

Arm strength, hearing, and concentration, etc.

More than 400 contestants participated.

It took nearly two or three hours for 20 people to take turns.

All the contestants who appeared in gambling movies advanced to the next round without exception.

The outer perimeter has also officially opened.

Dong Tianbao nodded to Liang Kun and Han Bin.

The group quickly gave the orders.

They handed over all the cash and promissory notes to their subordinates, who then distributed the bets among themselves.

At this moment, Luo Jiaying took the microphone again and went on stage to announce: "Round 2 of the knockout stage, Texas Hold'em!"

"Each person is limited to one million chips; if they lose all of them, they are eliminated."

"Each table has 10 people, and there are 20 tables in total. The two people with the most chips at each table will advance."

After saying that, Luo Jiaying retreated into the shadows.

After the two hundred players were seated, the twenty dealers skillfully shuffled and dealt the cards.

Dong Tianbao leaned back in his chair, lighting the authentic Cuban cigar that Liang Kun had given him.

To be honest, he doesn't really care about this stuff; he's just trying it out to see how it tastes.

It's not as satisfying as smoking Liqun cigarettes in my previous life.

Under the unsuspecting gaze of Liang Kun, he lit a Marlboro.

His gaze swept towards Ko Chun's position. This future gambling god wasn't sporting a slicked-back hairstyle or chewing chocolate.

Instead, he held a cigarette between his fingers, exhaling lightly, as if he was getting a little bored with the gambling.

After all the cards were dealt, Chen Jincheng, beaming, chose to go all in.

The people at his table looked at him like he was crazy, and then had no choice but to fold.

A South Korean player, defying all superstition, chose to call and compare hands with Chen Jincheng.

"Mr. Chen wins with a full house (A).

The dealer removed two Aces from the five community cards, added them to the two Aces in Chen Jincheng's hand, and then announced the result.

The South Korean player slumped back into his seat like a deflated balloon.

He then left the gambling table dejectedly.

When Dong Tianbao's gaze fell on Long Si.

After all the cards were dealt at Long Si's table, he simply took a puff of his cigarette and threw out his bottom cards.

He subtly curled the corner of his mouth as he looked at the 70 chips remaining on the table.

Then another game began.

After following steadily for three laps, I chose to go all out on the last lap.

There was a Malaysian player at the gambling table who won the first two hands, but his hand was so bad that he folded.

A burly Taiwanese player with a thick gold chain opposite Long Si said, "I don't believe you also have a straight flush, I'm calling!"

The others looked at their cards and then abstained.

"Show your cards, I have a straight flush!" The burly man revealed his hole cards and looked at Long Si with a smug expression, preparing to grab all the chips on the table.

The surrounding audience was drawn to his voice and gasped in surprise.

"Wait!" Long Si pushed up his glasses and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the edge of the table twice.

"Sorry, my straight flush is just higher than yours." Long Si calmly revealed his hole cards.

It turned out to be a Queen of Spades and a Jack of Spades.

Combined with the community cards, it's just slightly bigger than the straight flush of the Taiwanese Jack.

"What the hell?!" The smile on the burly man's face froze instantly, his expression filled with disbelief.

Upon seeing this, Dong Tianbao's lips curled into a slight smile.

This portrayal of Lung Si is quite understated, that's good.

If it weren't for his master-level gambling skills, most people would have been completely outmaneuvered by him.

Han Bin and Da Fei watched with bated breath. Da Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother Bao, this Long Si is really messing with people's mentality. I thought he had some big hand and dared to go all in, but he only played a tiny bit. It scared me to death."

Han Bin wiped his sweat and nodded in agreement.

"Damn, you two are both big shots in Hung Hing, and this is nothing!" Ugly Kun gave the two of them the middle finger.

Actually, his heart was pounding in his throat, but as the leader, he suppressed it and hid it very well.

No matter how well they hid it, it couldn't escape the eyes of several people.

"Brother Kun, before you start spouting nonsense, clean up the tissues on the table first."

Han Bin and Da Fei pointed to a wad of tissues on the table in unison.

"Pshaw, it was hot there," Liang Kun stubbornly denied.

After watching them play around for a while, Dong Tianbao spoke softly: "Don't focus your attention on Long Si. Long Si is hiding his skills right now. If too many people know about his gambling skills, more people will bet on him to win, which will arouse Nie Aotian's suspicion."

Everyone nodded quickly.

They fell silent and looked away.

At this moment, the winner at the card table where Gao Ao was located was also decided.

Arrogantly, relying on his superb gambling skills, he ostentatiously eliminated one of the contestants.

In fact, Gao Ao's gambling skills are no worse than Gao Jin's; it's just that he's too jealous and too competitive.

With the right mentor, one's achievements will be no less than Gao Jin's.

Hong Guang, that cunning old fox, was no slouch either. He advanced all the way, and together with another contestant at the same table, they secured their advancement.

Haishan advanced smoothly, with little to no chance.

"No wonder so many people liked watching gambling movies in my past life; the atmosphere on set was indeed tense and exciting," Dong Tianbao muttered to himself.

The knockout stage finally ended after an afternoon.

Forty people will advance to the semifinals tomorrow night.

"Alright, that concludes today's elimination rounds. The semifinals will begin tomorrow night at 8 PM," Luo Jiaying announced loudly as he emerged from the shadows.

The spectators inside the casino felt a sense of lingering enjoyment, but they still left the casino in an orderly manner and headed towards the restaurant.

"That old fox Nie Aotian is really shrewd," Dong Tianbao remarked thoughtfully, watching the departing figure.
