267: I'm afraid you can't handle it.

The faces of the people nearby turned pale.

Who among them dared to bet against an audi? They waved their hands one after another, saying, "Not following, not following!"

"The stakes are too high; we can't afford to play."

They hurriedly threw their cards away.

Seeing this, Atapong became even more smug. He intentionally revealed the gold watch on his wrist, tapped the table with his finger, and lectured them.

"You guys are just too cowardly! This gambling table is like life; if you're timid and afraid of every little thing, how can you win big money? How can you succeed?"

He acted exactly like a life mentor.

His wife, Nala, looked at the car keys and the money won earlier on the table. Beaming with joy, she reached out to collect it. "No one's following? Then all of this is ours!"

Just then, Su Cha, who had been staring fixedly at his cards, suddenly reached out and pressed down on Nala's hand as she tried to take the money!

When he looked at his cards just now, his heart almost jumped out of his chest!

A Straight Flush!

And it was a 4-5-6 Straight Flush!

Although it wasn't the highest Straight Flush, it was still an extremely strong hand!

According to probability, this hand had a massive chance of winning!

He was just worrying about having no chance for revenge, and now Atapong had actually delivered an audi to his doorstep?

This was simply a godsend opportunity!

If he won this audi, he could not only win back what he lost before but also ruthlessly slap Atapong's face and vent his anger for his father and himself!

"Wait!" Su Cha's voice trembled slightly with excitement. "I didn't say I wasn't following!"

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Su Cha slammed the keys to his second-hand alto onto the center of the table with a loud 'thwack.'

The courtyard immediately erupted into an uproar!

"Oh my! How did car keys get put on the line!"

"Is Su Cha crazy? How much is that alto even worth?"

"He's putting his life on the line!"

Su Qing and Su Ya were also stunned; they hadn't expected their brother to do this.

Su Qing's father, Wenchalong, was even more scared out of his wits. He rushed over, first glaring fiercely at his son, then quickly turning to Atapong with a fawning expression.

"Atapong, this won't do! We're all relatives; it's just for fun, how can we play for so much? Quick, take the car keys back! Give your Uncle some face, I'm begging you!"

Looking at his Uncle's cowardly behavior, Atapong felt disgusted to the extreme.

He rolled his eyes and gave a cold laugh.

"The bets are already placed; you think you can just take them back? On what grounds? Face? Uncle, face isn't given by others; it's earned by one's own ability! If you're so capable, can you make Su Cha produce a stake more valuable than my audi? No? Then stop talking nonsense!"

These words were extremely biting, a public slap in the face.

Wenchalong's face turned red from being choked up. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a single word, so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

At the nearby table, his father, Songphong, who was playing mahjong, also began to try and persuade them.

"Atapong, it's not that your dad wants to scold you."

"That silly boy Su Cha is being reckless, but are you being reckless too?"

Atapong looked at his father, thought about it, and decided to give him some face after all.

He somewhat reluctantly reached out, preparing to take back his audi keys. "Fine, fine, for Dad's sake today..."

"Wait!" Su Cha suddenly shouted sharply, startling Atapong and making his hand stop mid-air.

Su Cha looked at his Second Uncle, Songphong.

"Second Uncle! I don't like what you're saying! Who organized this game? Who put the audi up as a bet first? Now that you see I'm following, you want to withdraw? Where in the world is the logic in that!"

Songphong hadn't expected this usually honest and submissive nephew to dare talk back to him like this. His old face turned red with anger as he pointed at Su Cha's nose and cursed.

"Hey! You brat! You dare speak to your Second Uncle like that? I'm giving you a way out! How much is that piece of junk alto worth? When you really lose the car in a moment, you'll have nowhere to cry! You're so ungrateful!"

Su Cha stiffened his neck and refused to back down. "That's my business, so don't you worry about it, Second Uncle! The car is mine, and I'm willing to gamble! If I lose, I'll accept it!"

"You... you... you're rebelling!" Songphong trembled all over with rage.

Su Cha ignored his Second Uncle and turned to Atapong, speaking word by word.

"Atapong, if you want to cancel this hand, fine! Then apologize to my father! For everything you've said today, apologize to my father respectfully! Then, return all the money you just won from the other relatives! Otherwise, this hand must be played to the end!"

As if he had heard the funniest joke, Atapong couldn't help but burst out laughing. He squinted at Su Cha, pointing a finger at Su Cha's head.

"Su Cha, I don't know if you're truly stupid or just acting. Why should I return money I won by my own skill? You want me to apologize to your father? I want to ask you: who, do, you, think, you, are?"

Su Cha squeezed the words through his teeth: "So there's nothing to talk about? Fine! Then let's continue! Whoever backs out is a grandson!"

Atapong stared intently at Su Cha. He noticed that Su Cha's courage today was unusually large.

He suddenly understood; Su Cha must have a big hand!

That was why he dared to challenge him like this.

However... Atapong sneered inwardly. The card he had peeked at was very likely a third Queen!

Three Queens—a Set!

Except for a higher Set, it beats everything!

Thinking of this, Atapong laughed out of sheer anger, nodding repeatedly.

"Good, good, good! Su Cha, you've really grown some balls, daring to challenge your Older Male Cousin like this! I'll agree! I'll play this hand with you! But let's get the ugly part out of the way first: no regrets once the cards are down! With so many relatives watching, don't you dare cry and regret it later!"

Su Cha snorted coldly, intentionally goading him. "What? Are you scared, Older Male Cousin? Don't dare to play?"

"Scared? Hahaha!" Atapong laughed as if he'd heard a massive joke, doubling over with laughter.

"I'm afraid you can't afford to play!"

He suddenly pulled back his smile and pointed his finger hard at the second-hand alto keys in front of Su Cha, his tone fierce.

"Look at your stake! Then look at mine!"

He picked up his audi keys again and waved them in front of Su Cha's eyes.

"Look closely! This is the latest model convertible audi! That piece of junk second-hand alto of yours couldn't even buy one tire for my car! You want to play with me? Your piece of trash isn't even worthy of being an equal stake!"

Su Cha's blood boiled as he was provoked. In a fit of heat, he turned and shouted at his wife, "Wife! Go! Bring out our wedding three golds!"

Lei Jun hadn't expected Su Cha to play so big either.

Possessing God-level Gambling Skill, she naturally knew why Su Cha was acting so bold.

Su Cha held a 4-5-6 Straight Flush, but she was absolutely certain that Atapong's hand was three Queens!

If Su Cha continued, he would definitely lose!

He wouldn't just lose the car; he would lose the wedding three golds too!

For a normal young man who had just started a family, this would be a heavy blow and might even trigger family conflict.

She immediately lowered her voice and told her judgment to the anxiously waiting Su Qing and Su Ya.
