330: Is the result really that important?

Pinya was also dumbfounded; Miss Lei Jun was actually so powerful.

Our worries earlier were truly misplaced; she didn't need us to worry about her at all.

Su Qing and Su Ya looked at each other, both seeing shock and relief in the other's eyes.

They felt lucky that they had chosen to follow Lei Jun; now it seemed that following Lei Jun was the most correct decision they had ever made in their lives.

Their hearts were filled with even more awe for Lei Jun, feeling as if she were a mysterious and powerful goddess.

Wenchalong was trembling with fear as he looked at Lei Jun. My god, this Miss Lei Jun was actually an honored guest of the King!

No wonder she was so formidable. Just now, I was worried she would be taken away by the police, but it seems I overthought it.

Songphong was also stunned. It turned out Miss Lei Jun's status was so noble!

Atapong had actually harbored improper thoughts about her before; he was truly tired of living.

Thankfully, they had reached a settlement just now, otherwise their whole family would have been completely finished.

Atapong broke out in a cold sweat, his back completely drenched. He thought back to those improper thoughts he'd had when he first saw Lei Jun, and he felt a wave of lingering fear.

He had actually harbored improper thoughts about the King's most honored guest; he was practically seeking death!

From now on, he would never dare to have any disrespectful thoughts about Miss Lei Jun again; he had to stay far away from her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died. Nala and her younger brother were also stunned.

Nala's younger brother was now filled with terror. He never imagined that he had provoked the King's most honored guest.

If Miss Lei Jun decided to pursue the matter, he would surely be thrown into prison and never get out for the rest of his life.

Nala was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she slumped onto the ground.

It's over, completely over. How could I have been so foolish to provoke such a noble person? If Miss Lei Jun pursues this, our whole family is done for.

Lei Jun looked at the stunned crowd in the courtyard, her face devoid of any expression.

She turned her head to look at Lei Ying and nodded, signaling that she could relax.

Receiving the signal, Lei Ying's tensed body relaxed slightly, but her eyes continued to scan the surroundings alertly to ensure Lei Jun's safety.

After Su Cha snapped out of it, he quickly walked up to Lei Jun and said respectfully, "Miss Lei Jun, I'm sorry. It was our family's business that caused you so much trouble. Thank you for not blaming us."

Lei Jun gave him a slight nod and said in a calm tone, "It's fine, the matter has been resolved. Don't worry, I won't hold you responsible."

Su Cha's family was decent enough and knew how to be grateful. If they had difficulties in the future, she could help them out as appropriate. After all, they were Su Qing and Su Ya's family.

Atapong also hurried to the front of Lei Jun, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, saying, "Honored guest, I am sorry. I shouldn't have had improper thoughts about you before. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again."

Lei Jun gave him a faint glance and said, "Get up. I don't want to see a next time."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Atapong quickly scrambled up from the ground and stood respectfully to the side, his heart filled with gratitude and awe.

When the others in the courtyard saw Atapong kowtowing and apologizing to Lei Jun, they also walked up to her one after another to greet her respectfully.

They were now filled with awe toward Lei Jun.

Lei Jun gave them a slight nod and then said, "Alright, everything is resolved. Everyone, please disperse."

Hearing Lei Jun's words, the crowd responded one after another, "Yes, honored guest!"

They then began to head out one by one.

However, Atapong didn't move. His feet seemed nailed to the spot, and his eyes were fixed on the few face-down cards on the gambling table. His heart felt as if it were being scratched by cat claws, itching uncontrollably.

He had originally accepted the outcome of losing both money and face, but as soon as he thought of Su Cha's confident look at the end, he couldn't help but be curious... what exactly was Su Cha's last hole card?

Could it really be what he had guessed before—Three-of-a-Kind Aces?

He mulled it over in his mind... if Su Cha's last card really was an Ace, then his loss was indeed justified. After all, Three-of-a-Kind Aces was the strongest hand on the table, and the Straight Flush in his own hand couldn't possibly beat it.

But if it wasn't an Ace, then Su Cha was just bluffing. To have been intimidated by such a small trick made him feel pathetic just thinking about it.

No, he had to know the answer, otherwise this matter would weigh on his heart for the rest of his life, making it impossible for him to eat or sleep in peace.

Atapong hesitated for a long while before he finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Um... Miss Lei Jun, Su Cha, I still have something I want to ask."

Everyone's footsteps paused, and they all turned their heads to look at him.

Su Cha frowned. What did Atapong want now? Was he still not satisfied and looking for trouble?

He asked, "What is it?"

"It's... just, what exactly was your last hole card?" Atapong rubbed his hands together, his eyes still glued to the gambling table. "Could it be that it really was Three-of-a-Kind Aces?"

As soon as he asked this, the interest of the others in the courtyard was also piqued. They all stopped in their tracks and looked curiously at the gambling table.

Other onlookers also began to discuss it,

"Yeah, yeah, Su Cha, what was your last card?"

"If it really was Three-of-a-Kind Aces, then Su Cha's luck is just too good!"

"I don't think so. How could anyone have such good luck?"

Lei Jun looked at Atapong's anxious state and then at the curious gazes of the people around them. Her face remained expressionless.

What a bunch of boring people. The game was over, the win and loss were decided, so what importance did the result have now?

She spoke faintly, "Is the result really that important? Alright, disperse now."

Hearing this, Atapong became even more anxious; he didn't want to leave just like that.

He moved forward two steps, staring intently at the cards on the table, and pleaded, "Miss Lei Jun, please don't keep us in suspense. Let us see. Otherwise, I really won't feel at ease, and I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight."

No matter what, he had to see that card today, or else this matter would bother him for days.

Even if he lost, he wanted to lose with full clarity.

Seeing his son still pestering them, Songphong feared it would upset Lei Jun. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Atapong's arm, and pulled him toward the gate with force. "Atapong, stop making a scene! Miss Lei Jun told us to disperse, so let's go! Don't be a nuisance here!"

Songphong was worried sick. Right now, he only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible and stay far away from Lei Jun, never wanting to have anything to do with her again.

His son was being so senseless. If he angered Lei Jun again, their whole family would truly be finished.

"Dad, don't pull me! I just want to see the last card!" Atapong struggled, refusing to leave, his eyes still fixed on the gambling table.
