Chapter 535:

“Flipping pairs without knowing the positions of the other cards? The odds are slimmer than the chances of ten asteroids hitting Earth at once.”

Some began to suspect that something was amiss. They exchanged wary glances but held their tongues, noticing that Kylo remained silent.

As she flipped over another pair, Allison casually remarked, “I heard Miss Prescott has been quite active in several foreign countries, even running multiple casinos.”

Amor’s hand faltered for a split second before she replied, “Oh? Are you interested in partnering up?”

“Indeed, that thought did cross my mind.” Allison met Amor’s gaze with an air of nonchalance. “After all, I’ve heard that your casinos rake in the dough every year, and you, my dear, have never lost a hand.”

Amor’s eyes narrowed just a fraction. Both women were savvy enough to recognize the probing nature of the comment.

“That’s quite the exaggeration,” she retorted, her smile baring teeth but lacking warmth. “It’s really just a stroke of luck, and some folks let me win for kicks. After all, we’re all here for a bit of fun.”

But the truth hung in the air like a heavy fog — Amor’s business thrived on deception.

Many gamblers around knew all too well that Amor’s iron grip on the foreign gambling scene stemmed from her ruthless tactics. Nobody walked away from her table with a win.

“Besides,” Amor laughed dismissively. “Who uses a casino as a money-making venture? My business empire stretches far beyond these tables. If you’re interested, perhaps you’ll find yourself wandering into my underground market one day.” Her words dripped with veiled menace.

Allison recognized the intimidation tactic; Amor was trying to shake her.

After all, Amor ran countless shadowy operations overseas.

Yet, Allison displayed no hint of fear, returning her gaze with a cheerful smile. “Oh, I’m not looking to trade; I’m just curious about your secret to that winning streak of yours.”

As she spoke, Allison leaned casually against the gaming table, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the back of a nondescript card.

“I’ve heard that in games like this, much like memory matching, your accuracy is off the charts — over 90%. They say you have a memory sharper than a hawk’s talon.”

With that, Allison picked up another card, seemingly unrelated, with her other hand.

“I think one’s the Ace of Hearts, and the other is the Ace of Diamonds.”

Her tone was languid, almost teasing, yet it made Amor’s brow furrow slightly. “You…”

Before Amor could complete her thought, Allison’s fingers deftly flipped the two cards over. The faces of the cards were revealed — Ace of Hearts and Ace of Diamonds — exactly as Allison had predicted.

Even the onlookers stood frozen, hardly daring to breathe. “Wow, how did she pull that off? That’s astonishing! Does she have X-ray vision like a superhero?”
