Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Invincible King Bomb Hand?

“`

He opened a brand-new deck of playing cards.

Lu Mian took them, holding them in the palm of her hand and flicking them open one by one.

Her movements didn’t seem that adept, yet they created a scene one couldn’t take their eyes off of.

Her fingers were slender and graceful, her clean, natural pale pink nails neither too long nor too short, exuding a healthy, translucent beauty. The cards, seemingly carelessly shuffled in her hands, made it seem like watching her shuffle was a pleasure in itself.

The light in the bearded man’s eyes became brighter and more restless.

“Little sister, you can’t shuffle cards like that,” he said, stroking his chin, smiling like a sly fox, “Put them on the table, and I’ll teach you.”

Lu Mian glanced at him, a fleeting sneer flashing in the depths of her clear, cold ink-black eyes.

She didn’t listen to the bearded man.

After a few “snap snap” flips of the cards in her hand, she neatly placed them in the center of the table.

“They’re shuffled.”

It was truly just a casual shuffle, something rarely seen on the poker table.

They all suspected that the cards had probably not been properly shuffled.

However, with Xiao Qimo present, the bearded man wouldn’t say or do anything at this moment, and called out to the four players, “Come on, let’s continue. With the cards little sister shuffled for us, I’m sure my luck will increase substantially!”

“Boss Huang, your luck is good today, you’ll definitely win!” The bearded man’s henchman across the table flattered him.

“Brother Qi…” Ye Jinwen also called out.

Xiao Qimo didn’t pay attention; instead, he turned his gaze to Lu Mian, who had quietly and obediently taken a seat behind him, with a slight curve forming on the corner of his lips.

This time, it was the bearded man’s turn to draw cards first.

His fingers, trembling with excitement, brushed away the first playing card and he clicked his tongue, “Let’s see what good card I’ve got…”

In his hand was: the Four of Hearts.

His face clearly showed disdain.

When it was Xiao Qimo’s turn, his fingers held the “Big Joker”—the biggest card in the deck—somewhat surprisingly. Tonight was the first time he’d drawn such a high card.

He leaned back slightly and said in a low mocking tone, “Nicely shuffled.”

Lu Mian, who was nonchalantly playing a game with her legs crossed, amidst her busyness only lazily responded, “I just shuffled them randomly.”

Xiao Qimo nodded and continued.

After all the cards on the table had been drawn and everyone had organized their hand, the man stared at the unbeatable “royal flush” in his hand and fell silent.

The hand was so good that he felt the urge to play it openly.

Jinwen across from him was the same, relaxed and confident, nearly unable to sit still in his chair.

On the other hand, the bearded man and his group looked as dark as the bottom of a pot, only wanting to throw down their cards and leave.

Lu Mian, uninterested in their game rules, finished her two-minute game and looked up to see Xiao Qimo lay down all his cards, declaring with cultivated elegance, “We’ve won.”

With such a hand, they could win even with their eyes closed.

The bearded man and his companion’s faces turned ashen. Was this some kind of hex? Such terrible cards in one hand!

“Little sister, come on, help us shuffle one more time!” The bearded man was not quite willing to give in.

Lu Mian lazily raised her eyes, “Fulfill your promise first.”

Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen also looked at him quietly.

“For little sister’s sake…” The bearded man gestured grandly, yet was rather straightforward, “Make your demands, as long as they’re within my capabilities.”

Ye Jinwen, having received a signal from Xiao Qimo, winked at Lu Mian before asking, “Boss Huang, we don’t really have any demands. We’re just curious, where did you buy the shiny gold chain around your neck? It looks pretty nice.”

To such a simple question, a normal person would be relieved.

But the bearded man’s face turned wary.

The gold chain had always been tucked under his collar; not many people could see it. Now that it was suddenly mentioned, his guilt was showing…

“Eh, this…” The bearded man’s eyes shifted evasively.

With a trace of a mocking smile, Lu Mian spoke up, “Is this too difficult? Could it be that the gold chain isn’t yours?”
