1127: Getting Bigger

Getting Bigger

"Damn. It's an ace of hearts!"2

"This card is quite good. Apart from the Joker cards, this is the best card!"

"The chances of getting a Joker are too low. The man in the suit will win this game. That young man is going to lose terribly!"

After the crowd saw the card that the young man in the striped suit had turned over, they screamed in excitement, as if they were the ones who were going to win the game.

The young man in the striped suit had a very smug expression on his face.

He had seen his own card, so he knew that his chances of winning this game were quite high. Meanwhile, Lucas's chances of getting a Joker card were pathetically slim.

So he was certain that he would definitely win!

The young man in the striped suit looked at Lucas and said with a smirk, "Punk, I've won this round. I wonder how long your money is going to last you."

Then he reached out to take away all the chips on the table.

"Slow down!" Lucas smiled and slowly flipped over the card in his hand.

It was a Joker!

"Holy shit! It's really a Joker! He really got a Joker! It just happens to be better than the ace of hearts. It really trumps it!"

"Damn, this man got that card when the chances were so slim? How lucky!"

"Unbelievable! That young man didn't even see his own card, but he looked really confident, as if he already knew that his card was better. Incredible!"

"I thought the ace of hearts was definitely going to win, but I didn't expect to see a Joker. Now things are really interesting!"

…

The moment the shocking twist occurred, the onlookers were flabbergasted as they stared at the cards on the table in excitement.

On the other hand, the other three people at the table were visibly sulking, especially the young man in the striped suit, whose face was terribly sullen.

He thought that he had a good card in this game, for it was the best card among the remaining cards except for the Joker cards. But he didn't expect Lucas to trump him with a Joker card!

If not for the fact that the dealer was a staff member of Club Illuma, the young man in the striped suit and the other two would have almost asked Lucas if he was cheating.

But since the dealer was also in cahoots with them, it was impossible for him to help Lucas, which meant that Lucas was indeed incredibly lucky.

Although they were disgruntled about the result, they had no choice but to watch Lucas sweep the pile of chips on the table toward himself with a smile.

Seeing these, the three men in striped suits were on the verge of tears! It was a total of 42 million dollars. If they had won, they would have been able to get 4.2 million dollars in commission!

Unfortunately, it was gone just like that!

"Do you dare to continue?" Lucas deliberately asked provocatively with raised brows.

At any other time, the three people would have definitely not dared to continue playing after losing so much money. Besides, they didn't have enough capital.

But just now, an attendant of Club Illuma had whispered a few words into the young man in the striped suit's ear and told them to bet freely with the goal of making Lucas lose a massive sum of money today.

After receiving this assurance, the three young people were emboldened and gained the courage to continue playing. They said through gritted teeth, "Let's carry on! Let's see if you'll be so lucky next time!"

The surrounding spectators immediately understood that the people at the table seemed to be in cahoots. And if they guessed correctly, they might even be taking orders from Club Illuma. Thus, their expressions changed uncontrollably.

In particular, the middle-aged man wearing a big gold chain, who had played cards with the three young men and whose seat Lucas had taken just now, felt incredibly thankful after seeing this scene.

Fortunately, the young man in front of him had flung him away from the table. Otherwise, he would have unknowingly fallen into the trap laid by the trio and lost a ton of money.

The onlookers had already noticed that something was amiss, but Lucas remained sitting quietly, as if he was clueless about what was going on.

Of course, at this juncture, no one dared to remind Lucas. After all, no one dared to offend the people of Club Illuma.

Soon, the dealer shuffled the cards and dealt them to the four of them accordingly.

This time, Lucas still just swept his gaze over the card in front of him without bothering to look at it.

On the other hand, the other three looked at their cards.

They had no choice but to do so because they wouldn't be able to bet in peace otherwise.

This time, Lucas directly pushed out 15 million dollars worth of chips right from the beginning.

"Fifteen million dollars!"

His voice immediately made the hearts of everyone skip a beat, and some couldn't help but clutch their chests, almost screaming their lungs out.

Damn it. What's wrong with this guy?

He bet fifteen million right from the start!

This is terrifying!

Even those used to making large bets breathed much more quickly, as they were completely frightened by the way Lucas was betting.

The other people at the table were shocked by Lucas's move too.

But since they had already received a hint from the higher-ups of Club Illuma, they were no longer as flustered as before, even though Lucas had bet so much.

In particular, they had already gotten a secret signal from the dealer this time, so they knew that they were definitely going to win this time.

"I follow. Thirty million dollars!"

"I call thirty million dollars too!"

"Same for me. Thirty million!"

All three young men chose to call at the same time. So this time, the pot on the table immediately rose to a grand sum of 105 million dollars!

Even though the attendant had already replaced the chips on the table with gold chips, the pile of chips on the table was still extremely eye-catching. Countless pairs of eyes were glued to it.

At this moment, the amount of money on the table was astonishing. Moreover, it was only the first round of betting.

"Thirty million more!" Lucas raised his bet again, adding another 30 million dollars.
