Chapter 534:

The onlookers couldn’t tear their eyes away, their envy palpable. Even Fay, who had seen her fair share of extravagant displays, couldn’t resist sneaking extra glances at the pile.

These chips represented fortunes exchanged for billions in cash! At that moment, the calmest individuals were those sitting at the table.

Once the dealer finished, over two hundred cards from four decks lay haphazardly across the surface. “The dealing is complete. Let the game begin!”

A coin toss decided that Amor would be the first to flip cards.

Unsurprisingly, she revealed a pair.

Normally, she wouldn’t opt for a pair in the opening round — too much risk of raising suspicion, given the low odds of scoring from such a large pool of cards. But this time, Amor was determined to snag those billions.

Having narrowly escaped defeat against Allison in the previous round, she was resolved not to get caught off guard again, opting instead to show the tampered cards right away to secure her win.

Gasps of astonishment rippled through the onlookers. “Lady Luck is certainly shining on Amor today! How incredible!”

But Amor’s display only deepened the amusement dancing in Allison’s eyes.

When it was Allison’s turn, she effortlessly flipped over a pair of her own.

As the spectators watched the evenly matched contest unfold, Allison suddenly looked up, a quizzical expression crossing her face. “These cards feel different from what I’m used to.”

When she heard this, Amor’s hand froze for a brief moment. “Well, of course, each deck comes from a different manufacturer.”

Resting her chin on her hand, Allison mused, “Is that so? They’re quite beautiful, aren’t they?”

Amor’s eyes flickered, anger simmering just beneath the surface, but she maintained a stoic expression as she continued to flip cards, revealing yet another pair.

Allison mirrored her move, revealing a pair as well.

The game’s pace quickened, almost without anyone realizing it. Melany, though still on edge, managed to keep her composure under Amor’s watchful eye.

But after more than a dozen rounds, with a quarter of the cards exposed, Melany whispered, “Something feels off.” Her fingers were clenched tight.

She focused intently on the pairs Allison had revealed, each one flawlessly matched.

“Allison and Kellan haven’t missed a single one so far.”

This realization sent waves of anxiety crashing through Melany.

The stakes had escalated beyond what most could fathom!

Even the spectators began to murmur in confusion.

“How have they matched every card right from the start? It seems a bit too far-fetched.”
