Chapter 645: Chapter 558: Anya, It’s So Good to Have You

"So, is this cooperation finalized?"

At the gambling table, the group discussed business cooperation in a harmonious atmosphere.

Just as the salesperson planned to grab the pen on the table to hand over to the man opposite for signing, a silver-haired girl’s figure brushed past him, bumping him lightly.

The salesperson didn’t pay much attention, turned his head, and suddenly found the pen missing.

"Where’s the pen? It was just here, wasn’t it?"

The salesperson anxiously started searching.

At this moment, noises from the nearby gambling table caught everyone’s attention.

"This guy’s gone mad!"

"She’s already lost her mind and is doing anything to win!"

"What happened?"

"She wagered her eyes and bet a whole million!"

"Are her eyes that valuable?"

Murmurs continued endlessly from both sides, yet Xu Xiaoyou remained unusually calm, quietly watching Tao Lin sitting across the gambling table.

"Are you accepting it?"

The slightly anxious sound of breathing echoed above the gambling table, and Manager Tao and the freshly returned Angelina glanced over, slightly astonished, to see Tao Lin, who appeared normal earlier, with a slight blush on his cheeks and restless breathing, his gaze like the vortex of an abyss.

"Are you sure you want to wager your eyes to me?"

She asked so, with a violent storm hidden beneath the calm sea surface.

She was nearly dead mesmerized by those amber-like beautiful eyes, beautiful enough to hold all the brilliance of the world. She couldn’t help but want to take them off and keep them, even if the person was her superior. This sense of forbidden transgression was overwhelming her emotions.

She wanted, she wanted, she crazily wanted!

She wanted to kiss that amber.

Her wealth was endless, yet she had no decent collection, making her extraordinarily uneasy. Day and night were restless; she feared her wealth would one day slip away like sand, with nothing comforting left by her side.

This was what she had always dreamt of.

"I’ll take it," Tao Lin said.

She raised her gaze dully.

In the monitoring room, the dog’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The girl’s eyes were telling him that if he didn’t do his job well this time, he was no longer necessary.

He would be silenced.

Three public cards were clearly shown.

——Clubs 5, Clubs 6, Clubs 7!

Three whole clubs!

The dog’s mind quickly spun, Tao Lin’s two hole cards were Hearts A and Square 7, forming the biggest hand with four 7s with a single card A. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

And looking at Xu Xiaoyou.

The supervisor’s eyes were glued to the screen, watching as the blonde girl slowly shifted down her two covered hole cards, revealing the corner of one.

The supervisor swallowed.

What card is it?

He saw it!

It’s Black Spade A!

What about the other card?

The supervisor focused all his attention on Xu Xiaoyou’s other hand card, seeing through its true nature at a certain moment.

Black Spade 8!

Compared to Tao Lin’s two cards, it was a hand as trashy as could be.

So the next intention of dealing cards was clear, just avoid numbers A and 4, have the dealer deal two more public cards numbered 7, letting Tao Lin form four of a kind, securing a win over Xu Xiaoyou’s three of a kind with the three public cards 7 and a single card A.

The supervisor decisively ordered.

"Karen, deal one Black Spade 7 and one Hearts 7."

The dealer nodded, indicating her understanding, and then lightly placed her thumb on the first card, drawing out the second card and dealing the fifth card.

Compared to the novice dealing girl, she had memorized all the card positions during the shuffle, already familiar with the card locations, needing no markings to deal the desired cards.

"What’s the fourth card?"

The onlookers’ emotions were long stirred, eagerly wanting to know the outcome.

Under the gaze of everyone, the fourth card was dealt.

——Black Spade 7!

"Could it be..." Someone faintly sensed something, gradually widening their eyes.

No one chose to bet or call.

The game has become a battle between Xu Xiaoyou and Tao Lin.

The second public card, under the golden brilliance, slowly revealed its true face.

Hearts 7!

"It’s a three of a kind with a high card right from the start!"

"With just one seven, it could make a four of a kind!"

"Do you have a seven, Miss Xu?" Tao Lin asked with a smile.

Beneath the polite smile, the heart plunging into the abyss of desire beat with restless excitement; she couldn’t wait to have that amber.

Xu Xiaoyou casually flipped her hole cards:

"No."

Tao Lin smiled.

"Seems like..."

Xu Xiaoyou then sighed lightly, slowly extending her hand toward her eyes.

Colorful lights enveloped her surroundings, under the scattering glitter, those beautiful eyes opened wide, Xu Xiaoyou’s hand suddenly moved up and down, showing two golden patterned cards ’swish swish’ before her, crossing and separating.

"The winner is me."

——Clubs 4!

——Clubs 8!

And forming a straight flush with Clubs 5, Clubs 6, Clubs 7, the hand ranks only second to the royal straight flush of 10, J, Q, K, A!

Upon seeing those two cards, Tao Lin’s pupils shrank to needle-sized, rising in a bit of disgrace.

"How is this possible!" The supervisor in the monitoring room shouted out.

He had just seen everything clearly.

Xu Xiaoyou’s hole cards clearly were Black Spade 8 and Black Spade A; how could they suddenly change to Clubs 4 and Clubs 8?

Throughout seeing the cards and Xu Xiaoyou revealing her hole cards, she hadn’t made any significant moves. Drawing cards and swapping them from the table wasn’t even remotely possible!

Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Xu Xiaoyou smiled slightly, flipping her slender index finger, revealing the ink stain on her fingertip under the light.

"The patterns of clubs and spades look similar. Just need a light dab of ink from a pen, and they become indiscernible."

"As for 4 and A."

Xu Xiaoyou snapped her fingers, revealing a pen core from between her fingers, matching it to the card face, pressing it between the two cards, making 4 ’turn into’ A under the eyes of all.

"Could it be someone mixed them up, accidentally dealing the wrong cards?"

"Manager Tao," Xu Xiaoyou looked at Tao Lin.

"May I ask what the pot for this round is?"

Tao Lin’s nails nearly deep into flesh, his shoulders trembling, nearly squeezing the words from his teeth.

"3000000￥..."

Xu Xiaoyou slowly leaned against Angelina’s chest, taking a pen from the silver-haired girl’s pocket, and leisurely wiped the ink from her fingertip on her.

"Perhaps just this pen made my luck better?"

She leaned close to Angelina’s ear,

"Anya, having you is wonderful."
