149: He bet everything, and lost so much that Wang Tianwang went bankrupt.

Looking at the pile of chips opposite him, Wang Feng's eyes turned red, his neck craned, and he shouted to the heavens.

"I want a life in full bloom..."

Xiao Li saw that Lin Pei had won another round and was stunned; she really didn't have time to stop it this time.

Everyone felt the demonic music piercing their ears, and their expressions immediately soured.

An older man immediately took out a bottle of life-saving medicine, Quick-Acting Heart-Relieving Pills, from his pocket and shared them with a few people clutching their chests.

Everyone's brows were deeply furrowed.

"This Heavenly King's singing is lethal. What kind of Heavenly King is this? He's practically the King of Hell coming for our lives."

"I'd advise him not to 'bloom'—better to just wither. Being listless is more appropriate; don't come out and torment people."

"Isn't the real Heavenly King Lau right here? Quick, have him sing a few lines to cleanse our ears."

Lau Tak Wah looked dazed.

"This... after hearing him sing, I can't find the tune anymore..."

Lin Pei also wanted to cleanse his ears and suggested,

"Don't sing that, sing your own."

Lau Tak Wah clutched his hair in horror.

"Ah! How terrifying!"

"I can't remember the tune of my own songs either!"

Lin Pei was startled.

Good grief, is it really that scary?

"How about we return some chips to him and make him shut up?"

...After Wang Feng howled a bit, he didn't feel much better.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely unwilling to give up. He slammed his phone onto the gambling table.

"Keep going!"

Does he still have money?

Besides, if he runs out of money, he can just go back and hold a concert. What's there to fear!

Xiao Li snatched the phone back from Lin Pei's clutches.

"Brother, the one you slammed is my phone, waah..."

"..."

Lin Pei could hardly suppress the corners of his mouth.

"Fine, I'll see this through to the end."

"I'm going all-in this time too."

Lau Tak Wah was almost jumping for joy.

"Way to go, Brother Lin!"

"All in, let's just go all in!"

The crowd gathered even closer.

"Holy crap, they're definitely fighting to the death."

"This gambling match is getting more and more interesting."

"Brother Lin, go for it!"

After Wang Feng angrily called the bet, the two revealed their cards again.

Wang Feng: Straight 7-8-9.

Lin Pei: Straight J-Q-K.

Lin Pei's straight won again.

Wang Feng roared again, unwilling to accept defeat, wanting to gamble with Lin Pei to the bitter end.

The following hands:

Wang Feng: High card K-Q-4.

Lin Pei: High card A-K-J.

Wang Feng: Pair of Q-Q-4.

Lin Pei: Pair of A-A-5.

...Every single one was a win for Lin Pei.

After a few rounds, Lau Tak Wah's hands were almost cramping from raking in the chips.

He looked at Lin Pei.

"Brother Lin, how about we let him win once? He looks quite pitiful."

Lin Pei shrugged.

"I'm afraid there's no way; I don't know how to lose."

He had truly seen it for himself today.

The system's 'King of Gamblers' skill was indeed no joke; it was hard even to try to lose.

Lau Tak Wah gave a helpless smile.

"Brother Lin, I admit, you've successfully flexed on us."

The crowd was already dumbfounded.

"Damn, with luck like this, he probably never hits a red light when he drives."

"No way, winning every single hand? Is he the God of Gamblers?"

"The key thing is that the guy opposite him actually had really good luck too; he'd been winning money all day until he challenged this guy to a match..."

"He wanted to clean the other guy out, but now he's about to be cleaned out himself, right?"

"Yeah, he's lost ten already, hasn't he?"

"..."

Over there, Wang Feng's hand was cramping from swiping his cards so much.

His hands were trembling, and cold sweat was pouring down like a waterfall.

It could be said that he was completely numb from losing.

If Lin Pei went all-in again in a moment, all his remaining assets combined would only be enough for one more bet.

And these assets couldn't be withdrawn directly; he had mortgaged his property to have Junket Operators lend him money.

And a significant amount was deducted as commission fees.

Xiao Li was also drenched in sweat and hurriedly pulled at Wang Feng.

"Brother Feng, let's stop here."

"If you keep gambling, you'll really have nothing left."

"We haven't even paid the employees' salaries for this month yet."

The guy opposite them was too eerie; he really wouldn't let them win even a single hand.

She had been waiting with her hands ready for ages, but she never got a single chance to rake back any chips.

Wang Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Life or death depends on this one hand. What if I make it?"

Xiao Li was about to cry.

She had almost forgotten that her boss was a bona fide gambler who believed in quitting while ahead.

Although he often didn't stop even when ahead, at least he usually played for much smaller stakes and typically had to return to the Mainland quickly for scheduled appearances.

This both cut losses in time and increased company income; it would never have reached this point.

She hadn't expected to run into such a tough nut today... Before the next round started, Lin Pei gave a reminder:

"Mr. Wang, how about we stop here?"

"It'll leave you with some assets so you can pay your employees' salaries."

Wang Feng was so angry that his veins were bulging, and he couldn't even sing anymore.

"You've got some nerve, Lin Pei! You want to leave after winning my money? No way!"

"Again!"

Lin Pei raised an eyebrow.

"I was only giving you a kind reminder. Since you won't accept my goodwill, I'll have to be blunt."

...After the Dealer dealt the cards, Lin Pei once again went all-in with all his chips.

Wang Feng shook off Xiao Li's hand from his sleeve, his voice becoming even raspier.

"Call."

Xiao Li cried silently.

Wang Feng looked at his cards.

2 of Spades, 3 of Spades, 4 of Spades.

His eyes were suddenly full of hope again. What a coincidence—he had actually drawn another straight flush.

It wasn't impossible for this to be a guaranteed win.

Wang Feng managed to suppress his inner excitement and said to Lin Pei:

"You show first this time."

Lin Pei turned his ring.

"Sure."

So Lin Pei revealed his cards first.

3 of Diamonds, 4 of Hearts, 5 of Hearts, a straight... After seeing the cards, Lin Pei was also stunned.

With the skill provided by the system, he could see the opponent's cards.

After seeing Wang Feng's straight flush, he had clearly tried to swap his own cards for a slightly higher straight flush, replacing the 3 of Diamonds with the 3 of Hearts.

What? It didn't work?

This is a guaranteed loss... Lin Pei felt a wave of helplessness.

Damn it, is this going to be a failure at the final hurdle?

The crowd also shook their heads.

"It's a straight, but the cards are really low. The opponent's chance of winning is actually quite high."

"Look at the expression on the guy opposite him; his cards seem really good."

"His luck is actually quite good; it's just a shame that the young man's cards were slightly higher every time."

"Looking at Wang Feng's expression, he must have at least a straight. Hiss, Brother Lin's straight is indeed too low; almost any straight would be higher than his."

While the crowd was discussing, they heard Wang Feng burst into wild laughter, and then he slammed his cards onto the table.

"It's just a straight? I have a flush!"

"Hahaha, Lin Pei, you lose!"

But after he spoke, he heard a commotion, and Xiao Li had already rushed over.

"Boss, are you okay? Don't scare me."

"Your cards are clearly just a straight."

??

How is that possible? Why is this woman lying through her teeth?

As he looked down to check, he was suddenly stunned.

Because the cards in front of him were indeed not a flush, but a straight.
