Kazuki Sada just stood aside and watched Nan Tianren shuffle the cards silently.

One minute later, time is up.

Nan Tianren finished shuffling the cards and did not extend the two cards in his hand to the other party. Instead, he waved his hand and slapped the two cards on the table in front of him, making a "please" gesture.

“Hahahahahaha, I thought you were going to do some tricks within this one minute, but it turns out you were just shuffling the cards? As expected, trash is just trash after all!”

Sada Kuniki laughed wildly, and without any hesitation, he reached out to one of the two cards on the table:

"Go to hell, bastard!"

Sada Kuniki turned the card he drew over and slapped it on the table. As expected, the card he drew was, no, that's not right, the card he drew was actually a joker! This was the first time Sada Kuniki had drawn a joker in the whole game!

Kazuki Sada, who had never drawn a joker card before, finally drew a joker card for the first time!

"What?! How is this possible!?"

Kazuki Sada said in disbelief as he looked at the turned-over joker card.

"Hey! It seems that the goddess of victory is no longer on your side, Sada Kuni-san!"

Nan Tianren showed the same smile as the goddess of victory (Pot of Greed) on his face.

"Humph! Even if you were lucky enough to save your life this time, don't look so smug in front of me! There won't be a next time! I won't draw the joker card again! You better be careful when you draw!"

Ikki Sada held out the two cards in his hand to Nan Tianren.

"Really? I don't think so. You just drew the joker. Does that mean the situation between us has completely reversed? After four rounds, I have completely mastered your tactics. Just like when I drew the joker for the first time, you will unconsciously put the joker on the left!"

Nan Tianren pulled out the card on the right:

"Well, Mr. Night Walker, I think you know the result without even looking."

Nan Tianren threw the two number cards in his hand onto the table.

"Indeed, in the fourth round, it is Master Nan Tianren's victory! According to the number recorded on the joker card, Master Sada Kuni's gallows will be assembled in three steps!"

Night Walker Princess Gu Yi immediately issued a ruling.

"Humph, it seems that you still had a little bit of luck left before you died. Don't be complacent. I only lost one game. Even if I lose one or two more games, it won't matter. But you have no room for failure!"

Sada Kuniki continued to taunt.

"Really? Come to think of it, it seems that a man wearing glasses said something just now. Let me think about it. I remember that it was something very interesting. Oh, yes, I remember that guy just said that there is no luck in gambling! Besides, we have already played four games, and there is no such thing as three times the limit. At least we should be able to predict the opponent's moves, right, Sada Kuni-san?"

Nan Tianren also taunted Sada Kuni Ikki.

"You are really getting carried away! You are just a maggot! I don't have time to waste on this boring game! You said you have mastered my tricks? How shameless!

I think you are just trying to observe my reaction! You were lucky to draw the number card just now! The next game will be your death! You will be hanged to death! You are just a bunch of pests that are destroying the country!"

By the end of the fifth round of gambling, Nan Tianren only had one card left in his hand, and Sada Kuni Ikki, who was holding the joker, had two cards left. Now it was Nan Tianren's turn to draw a card.

After shuffling the cards, Sada Kunihi slapped two cards on the table and asked Nan Tianren to draw:

"Weren't you quite good just now? Come on, try to draw like you did just now! You should know clearly which of the two cards on the table is the joker!"

"Andy is really amazing. By the way, have you seen The Shawshank Redemption? The hero Andy in the movie, even though he was in prison and everyone around him was institutionalized by the prison, he never gave up hope. It took him less than 20 years to dig a road to the outside world and find redemption in a sewage pipe full of rot and excrement!"

Nan Tianren said as he swept his hand across the two cards on the table while looking at Sada Kuni Ikki.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Sada Kuniki raised his head and stared intently at the man in front of him - compared to before, this guy was different in some way!

"Sada Kuniki, it's very easy to give up the struggle and choose death. Living desperately in this world is the most painful thing! The persistence in living is the most romantic thing of human beings! In other words! You who give up living and are determined to die! You are nothing but a coward!"

Nan Tianren waved his hand and firmly grasped the cards on the right side of the table:

"I was redeemed a few days ago, and now I have the future in my hands!"

Sada Kuniki suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly turned over another card on the table - Oh no! It was a joker! And it was a joker with the number five!

"It looks like I won this round! Sada Kuni-san!"

Nan Tianren crumpled the cards in his hand into a ball and threw them on the ground.

"You bastard, when did you... Damn it! You got the prize again! It was just luck! Don't be so arrogant! The chance is only 1 in 2, even if you get the prize twice in a row, it's only 1 in 4! There's nothing to be surprised about! You just happened to be lucky! Just bluff as much as you can! There won't be a third time!

I am not afraid of death! But I never think that I am qualified to live in this beautiful world because I have taken other people's lives without permission! But! My life is to be dedicated to the great revolutionary cause! I can never die in such a place! Quickly assemble the gallows! Then start the sixth round for me! "

Sada Kuniki roared, his expression was no longer as calm as before.

"Sada Kuniki-san, you won't be drawing the joker card from now on! Because I won't be drawing the joker card anymore! Just pray to your god! Don't assign the joker card to you! Even if your plea won't be answered!"

Nan Tianren raised his arms high, as if embracing the dawn sun, and at the same time issuing the final judgment to Sada Kuni Ikki!

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

As Sada Kuniki roared, the gallows behind him was assembled in five more steps, for a total of eight steps. There were only three steps left before Sada Kuniki was hanged.

At the beginning of the sixth round, the count on the joker card is four, which can only mean one thing - the sixth round is the last round!

The reason why Nan Tianren knew that the count on the joker card was four was because, at this moment, the joker card was lying quietly in his hand.

"It seems that your god has answered your prayers, but it doesn't matter, my victory remains unchanged!"

Nan Tianren looked at the joker card in his hand and continued to bluff.

At the same time, on the other side of the Mt. Fuji tunnel.

"Hmm? What happened? Is there something wrong with Mr. Sada Kuni?"

The arms dealer Carl noticed that something was wrong with the expressions of Sada Kuni Ikki's men, and asked them.

"Don't worry, Mr. Carl. Although the opponent has won a game, Lord Sada Kuniki is still in an advantageous position. As long as the joker falls into the hands of the enemy, Lord Sada Kuniki's victory is inevitable!"

Sada Kuniki's subordinates responded in a decisive manner, as if Sada Kuniki's victory had already been a foregone conclusion.

The sixth round of drawing joker cards soon came to an end, with Kazuki Sada, who held a number card, attacking Nan Tianren, who held a joker card and a number card.

"anyway……"

Sada Kuniki did not draw the cards immediately, but chose to chat with Nan Tianren in the last minute:

"Why do you do this? Why do you risk your life and take such a dangerous gamble? Do you want the money? Do you want a life of luxury? Or do you simply seek the thrill of risking your life? Have you never doubted your lifestyle of constantly venting your desires?

Have you ever wondered why you were born? What do you want to achieve while you are still alive? At least for me, gambling is just a tool to earn money for the revolution.

To be honest, I hate gambling, just like I hate drugs and pornography. Just standing here makes me feel sick. But all this will come to an end because of the cards in your hand! I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't rest now. You can die here alone! "

"Why do you have so many questions? Are you asking a hundred thousand whys?"

Nan Tianren said, pulling the two cards in his hand back to his chest, and took out another piece of chocolate from his pocket with his other hand and put it in his mouth:

"As for why I was born? Sada Kuni Ikki! You seem to have too many questions!"

In gambling, there is no sure-fire way to win with a 100% success rate!

Unless - it's cheating!

No matter what kind of gambling you are doing, as long as you can see through your opponent's cards, you will be invincible!

And Kazuki Sada was already in an invincible position before the gambling game even started!

The secret room in the Mt. Fuji tunnel is a special place provided whenever members of the Gambler Club need to gamble.

The existence of this secret room is no secret, and for Kazuki Sada, whose terrorist organization's base is located at the foot of Mount Fuji, it is not difficult to make some modifications to this secret room without the Gambler Club knowing.

Long before the gambling game with Nan Tianren began, Sada Kuniki had already installed a large number of miniature cameras in this secret room!

These micro cameras will transmit every image in the room to the outside world in real time. Terrorists who are monitoring every move in the room from the outside world can tell Sada Kuniki the location of the joker card in Nan Tianren's hand through the bone conduction headphones installed in Sada Kuniki's body.

In other words, Sada Kuni Ikki knows every move of Nan Tianren, what cards he has in his hand, and where each card is!

Even at the beginning of the game, both parties would gamble by playing the game of drawing joker cards, which was all within Sada Kuniki's calculations!

But now the undefeated Sada Kuni Ikki is cornered by Nan Tianren! If he loses one more round, he will be the only one to be hanged!

"Damn it! I can't see from this position. I can't see at all! This bastard! Why did he eat some damn chocolate for no reason? It's fine if you eat chocolate, but why?! Why did he even put the cards back to his chest? The cards are completely blocked by him! I can't even see where the joker is!"

The terrorists outside the mountain tunnel kept cursing as they watched the images coming from the micro camera:

"Wait a minute, this camera seems to be able to see! Although it can only see a little, only a corner of the card on the left, but it can still see clearly that the card on the left is undoubtedly a number card! It seems that the idiot named Nan Tianren did not expect that we would install a pinhole camera at such a tricky angle!"

──Is the number card on the left?

When Sada Kuniki heard the information coming from the bone conduction headphones in his body, he no longer paid attention to Nan Tianren who was holding the cards tightly against his chest, but pulled out the card on the left.

He got it! No doubt about it! Sada Kuni Ikki! He! He got it──the joker!

Chapter 14 You Lied

"What's going on? How is this possible? It should be foolproof! There shouldn't be any mistakes!"

Seeing that Sada Kuniki had drawn the joker card on the live broadcast, the terrorists outside the mountain tunnel showed disbelief:

"I clearly saw from the surveillance footage that Lord Sada Kuni drew a number card! Why did that number card turn into a joker card as soon as it was turned over? What on earth happened?"

……

"Tsk! You drew the joker card again? I don't know what tricks you are playing, but I won't have this kind of good luck again! Hurry up! It's your turn to draw a card! Don't waste too much of my time!"

In the room of the tunnel, Sada Kuni Ikki gritted his teeth and raised the two cards in his hand towards Nan Tianren.

──I can't possibly die in a place like this! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! My awareness is completely different from that guy's! I can't possibly lose! Absolutely impossible! That guy will definitely draw the joker! Next time! Next time I won't rely on the information from the surveillance camera! I will use my own hands! I will personally draw the victory for you to see!

"I won't waste too much of your time. This is the last time I draw a card. It's rare that the timer is set to one minute, so let me enjoy this last minute."

Nan Tianren did not immediately reach out to draw the cards from Sada Kuniki's hand. Instead, he ate another piece of chocolate, closed his eyes, and counted down silently in his heart, enjoying the last minute of the game, enjoying the feeling of being alive, and the upcoming fruits of victory.

...Fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty!

When the one-minute time was about to end, Nan Tianren drew a card from Sada Kuniki's hand, a number card, a number card with the number four on it!

The last card that Sada Kuniki held in his hand was a joker card with the number four recorded on it!

The gambling game is over. This gambling game in which both parties risked their lives is completely over. The winner is Nan Tianren!

"Then congratulations, Master Nan Tianren, you win this bet."

Night-walking Concubine Gu Yi congratulated Nan Tianren.

"I actually lost? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You! You bastard! You must have cheated!"

Sada Kuniki roared at Nan Tianren, and was about to take out the revolver from his pocket and shoot him dead, but he seemed to have forgotten that his revolver had been kicked away by the host of "Gambler" when the gambling game just started.

"I did cheat, but so what? We agreed at the beginning that it wouldn't count as cheating if we weren't caught!"
