Reign looked at Haylanâs side profile and made a firm decision. She immediately gave up her position and handed her cards to Haylan.
With Haylan by her side, all her fear, tension, and insecurity vanished without a trace.
In their place was a sense of relief.
Haylan was her solid support, her source of security.
However, as she handed her cards to Haylan, she couldnât help but cast a curious glance at them.
Then, she broke out in a cold sweat again.
The card in her hand was a 10!
With an 8 and a 10, the total points were 18.
On the other hand, Buckminster and Fletcher both had 20 points. If she didnât draw another card, she would definitely lose! Even if she drew another card, the chances of winning against the opponents were still very low.
âWhen did they change their cards?â Reignâs mind raced.
Throughout the game, the deck of cards remained in her possession, and neither Buckminster nor Fletcher had touched them again. So why did the arrangement of her cards change?
Haylan remained calm and patted Reignâs shoulder. His voice was low and steady as he said, âYou lack experience in this realm. Youâve been played.
âYou canât win this game.â
âWhy? Is it my skill problem?â Reign asked in a low voice.
âThis has nothing to do with your skills. Itâs just that this deck has been tampered with. You havenât dealt with hustlers before, so youâre easy to be fooled Haylan sat down and placed two cards in the middle of the gambling table, looking at Buckminster and Fletcher. âYou both only have 20 points, not yet reaching 21 points. I understand you have the upper hand, but are you ready to reveal your cards and make your decision?â
âCut the crap. Hurry up and show your cards!â Fletcher said angrily.
Haylan did not even look at Fletcher. His gaze was fixed on Buckminster. âMr. Payne, your subordinate is a little rude.â
âI canât control his personality. Actually, I also want to see your hole cardâ Buckminster chuckled.
âYouâll have to pay a price to see my hole card.â
âWhat price?â
âYour life!â
Haylan stared at Buckminster with a cold gaze and said, âBefore I reveal my cards, letâs add another bet. If I win, your life will be mine.
âIf I lose, my life is yours.â
âFuck you! Do you know what kind of worthless piece of shit are you? Youâre just a bodyguard and not even worthy of polishing our bossâs shoes. Do you think you can gamble your life against our boss?â Fletcher sneered.
Haylan smirked coldly.
He flipped open the 8 and presented it to everyone.
Then, he thicked his wrist.
The poker card flew towards Buckminster and Fletcher like an arrow.
The e poker card was like a knife!
It flew out with fierce energy and as fast as lightning.
âYouâre courting death!â
Fletcherâs gaze was cold. He pulled out his saber and slashed at the poker cards. Fletche Clang!
The sound of metal clashing could be heard as the saber in Fletcherâs hand broke into two.
12:201 âWh-what? Fletcherâs pupils constricted violently, and his face was filled with disbelief.
The poker card did not slow down. It was still as fast as lightning as it rushed toward Fletcherâs face.
Fletcherâs expression changed drastically as he hurriedly dodged.
Puff The poker card flashed like a bolt of cold lightning. After cutting a bloody wound on Fletcherâs forehead, it stuck into the wall behind Fletcher.
Only a small part of the number 8 was still exposed.
Fletcher sat on the chair with a bloody wound appeared between his eyebrows. It was a horrifying sight.
Blood flowed down his forehead and to his face, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.
Fletcher looked at Haylan with fear in his cyes.
If he had reacted a little slower just now, his head would have been cut through.
Buckminsterâs smile froze as well. He stared at Haylan solemnly and whispered, âSeven-star General?â
Everyone present opened their mouths wide and was dumbfounded.
When a true expert made a move, their skill was immediately apparent.
It was just an ordinary flying card, but it could unleash such terrifying lethality under the hands of Haylan. It was simply terrifying!
Haylan remained calm and said, âMr. Payne, do you think my life has become valuable now?â
