Chapter 906: Chapter 905: Going All In
Returning to his seat, Wufu drank tea and ate pastries, looking completely confident.
Master Gui’s eyes flashed, and he smiled, saying: “It seems Young Master Xiao Wu is well-prepared.”
The raw stone was placed on another table to prevent others from spying on techniques and to avoid deliberate following of bets, with a small screen thoughtfully erected.
Of course, if others had touched the stone earlier, the ones behind could still see, but it didn’t matter since it was just surface level, visible to all.
“I think my luck might be alright today.” Wufu smiled as he looked at the people opposite him.
The young man beside Lin Gonyun whispered something, his eyebrows revealing a hint of arrogance.
Wufu’s smile remained unchanged, but in his heart, he calculated the value of this raw stone.
Since they were playing a showdown, the more gambling money committed, the better. If he could win in the end, the value of the gambling money and the raw stone would far exceed the base price, and he would profit, so he needed to bet big.
Master Gui was raising the stakes, and Lin Gonyun also followed suit. Maybe because they had won several times before, the others also followed and even raised.
Wufu was no exception, good material shouldn’t be missed.
“This stone suits my taste, ten thousand taels.” Wufu smashed down ten thousand taels.
Some frowned, some hesitated, and Lin Gonyun wasn’t happy either. After giving Wufu a glance and seeing him as a young profligate, he sneered disdainfully, whispered something, and called.
“I’m not confident about this hand, I won’t follow.” Master Gui gave up the right to follow.
Another person, Fat Master, raised one hundred taels over ten thousand taels.
“Follow, raise by ten thousand taels.” Wufu smashed down again.
Fat Master’s mouth twitched, his face darkened, and he glared at Wufu: “Kid, do you even know how to play?” Who plays like this, raising by ten thousand at a time, does it even let people enjoy playing?
“If we’re playing, it should be exciting.” Wufu smiled and said: “I’m really not interested in this stone, just want to play it big once. If I lose, I’ll go drink flower wine.”
“…” Everyone drew a breath; why don’t you just go drink flower wine directly then? Truly a profligate wastrel.
Chi Yi was already painfully watching the pile on the table.
“I follow, raise by five thousand.” The young man beside Lin Gonyun spoke.
It’s twenty-five thousand now, Fat Master’s heart trembled, looking at the pile of gambling money on the table with great pain, yet he gave up, as he had already lost quite a bit in previous rounds and didn’t have much money left.
“Follow, thirty thousand.” Wufu smashed them without a second thought.
“You!” The young man looked at his chips, somewhat hesitant.
Wufu then said to Master Gui: “Noble House also offers loans, right?”
Master Gui raised an eyebrow: “Naturally.”
“If I need to borrow, you should lower the interest a bit.”
“Sure.”
“Thirty-five thousand.” The young man glared at Wufu, saying: “Kid, think it through.”
“I just don’t like being challenged!” Wufu snorted softly: “Forty-five thousand.”
Chi San’s breath caught, and his heart trembled.
Lin Gonyun frowned deeply, at this price, giving up would mean a big loss because the gambling money was already substantial, and even if the raw stone contained jade, it wouldn’t compare to this gambling money.
Wufu pulled out a folding fan, shaking it, fortune favors the bold, timidity starves. In a showdown, shouldn’t one play big? Play with high stakes.
Although this was a fake showdown, and everyone’s hole cards were the same, all displayed, now it was just about who had more money.
“Do you know who I am?” The young man gritted his teeth hatefully.
Wufu innocently replied: “No, I don’t. But even if I did, so what? In a casino, there are no family ties, everyone knows that.”
