(first novel, don't expect anything, just wanted to flush out this world and characters :::: Shamelessly stole artwork, if you own the artwork, tell me and I'll take it down::::)

The two beings' impact was so devastating that Tian Yang's consciousness flew backward for a long time.
Unfortunately, his body collided with many strange space fractures along the way, causing him innumerable damage.
BOOM!!!
CRACK!!
Tian Yang's consciousness was similar to a God inside this place, but alas, the energy was too much even for him for some unbelievable reasons.
He was clear about something. 
Even if they were part of his body and his soul, those two little monsters were something that even he couldn't completely control.
SWOOSH!!!
SWOOSH!!!
When the two existences finally realized what was going on, they rushed towards Tian Yang and halted his crazy fall.
Their movement speeds were fast beyond belief, but there was a massive difference between them.
The figure surrounded by an intense green light was faster than the one engulfed in bright red flames.
It was as if they were racing against time.
Oddly it seemed as though their battle was no longer a clash of elemental powers but a race between two runners.
The red being tried with all his strengths to reach the green figure to the front.
Unfortunately, even if its flames' intensity grew incredibly powerful, it was still not enough.
When the green figure was only a few steps from Tian Yang, something came out from the bottom and tangled in his body, finally stopping his crazy fall.
"I WON!!! I WON!!! From now on, you must call me Big Sister, and I will call you, Little Brother... HAHAHA..."
A childish voice echoed in the space when the green figure finally grabbed Tian Yang.
But there was no response to that crazy thunderous voice... Well... something happened, actually...
The red flames, still behind, halted abruptly and began burning ferociously.
|||
"Father!... Father!... wake up!..."
Tian Yang's consciousness sustained a lot of damage, colliding with those space fractures.
It took him a couple of minutes to recover a bit, but when his mind was gradually regaining a bit of clarity.
He heard the yells of a child reverberate in his mind.
"Father!... Father!... wake up!..."
"Little Brother... look... it's all your fault!!"
FLUSH!!
"What?? What are you talking about?? I didn't do it!!"
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
"No, no... It was you..."
FLUSH!!
"Of course... If it wasn't for you..."
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
"HEY!...HEY!... You were the one shouting... 'I'm older than you, so It's natural for me to be the Big Brother...'"
FLUSHHHH!!!!
"Hehe... I don't care... From now on... you must call me... Big Sister!"
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
"HEY!!... Stop it! If you keep destroying this place... father will be mad..."
FLUSH!!!
FLUSH!!
"Hmm... you are truly unbelievable... when the other brothers and sisters will join us... they will teach you a lesson, surely..."
Tian Yang was still a bit confused and disoriented, but he could clearly hear their discussion... well... actually, there was only one voice, but the other noises were clearly an answer.
His eyes were still closed, so he couldn't see who were the two beings.
But it was sure about one thing.
Those two little bastards were his Elemental Veins.
He was speechless that one of them could actually speak, but also a bit excited.
As for why one of them was calling him father... well...
"Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."
He tried to speak and open his eyes a few times, but something was restraining his head.
"HMM...HMM...HMM..."
His moans became so loud that finally, the two realized he was awake.
"Father... Father... Speak with us... Are you hurt?..." The being asked with a worried tone.
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
"Idiot??? you are an idiot..."
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
"HMM...HMM...HMM..."
"WHAT??? No way... father his mine... I will not release him..."
FLUSH!!!
FLUSH!!
"NO!! NO!!!"
FLUSH!!
Tian Yang, who was still constrained by something, felt his consciousness pressed between a strong grip.
'Luckily... this is not my flesh body..." Tian Yang thought, feeling the power.
FLUSH!!!
FLUSH!!
"NO!!!! You are too sly... I can't do it... Nope!!"
FLUSH!!!!!
"Hmh?! Only the head?? And you will not make any strange moves, right??"
FLUSH!!!
"PROMISE IT!!!" 
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
"AHH!!! I knew it... little brother... you are too mean!!!
FLUSH!!
"Hmm... Fine!! But stand back..."
SWOOSH!!
"A little more!"
SWOOSH!!
"More!!"
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
"Hmm... Little Brother... you should calm down a bit..."
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
"Fine... Fine... Father, I will loosen my vines a bit, but don't run away."
Finally, after a lengthy discussion between those two bizarre creatures, Tian Yang felt the viscous layer around his head slide away, releasing his mouth from that annoying cage.
"Good Lord... Little Flame, set me free... NOW!!"
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
"Little Brother... Don't worry, I will explain everything to father..."
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
"Of course...Of course... I'll tell him the truth... Hehehe"
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
"Father... Father... It's not my little brother, but me. What do you think? Do you like my new body??"
"You?! You should be my Heavenly Vein of Wood, right?" Tian Yang asked, confused.
"It's me... It's me... Father, can you give me a beautiful name? One that could fit my wonderful body perfectly, Okay?"
"Sure... but I can't see your body, with all those vines around my head... little one, why don't you remove them?"
"Fine..."
It took a long time, but ultimately, those long vines slid away from his face entirely.
Tian Yang's eyes opened, and the figure in front of him was eventually visible.
There was still an intense green light around it, but slowly it became more and more apparent.
Moving his gaze up and down, he noticed no human body hidden below the intense light, but something strange.
Its body was... tall and large, with countless long vines moving left and right from its bottom.
The intense light came right from the center part, but there was a myriad of green petals with a point of golden purple color before him.
There were even dozens of colorful leaves right between the vines and the petals.
It was similar to one of those snow lotus that he often used in his alchemy and the favorite flower of Ruolan.
Tian Yang was still lost in thoughts when the voice of the little girls rang out once again: "Father... Father... What do you think?? Do you like my body?"
"It's..."
"It's beautiful, right??" The little girl yelled again, excited.
"Of course, It's lovely..." Tian Yang said, while his eyes were still trying to uncover what was hidden below that bright light.
Hearing Tian Yang's answer, the strange flower became quite excited and began yelling: "Hehe... Little Brother... I was right!! I'm more beautiful than you. Hehe..."
FLUSH!!
FLUSH!!
"Whaaaat?? Nonsense, you hear him clearly."
FLUSH!!!
"Mighty?!... Who cares!! I'm more beautiful than you."
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
As the two creatures kept acting like two little children, Tian Yang noticed that its Heavenly Vein of Fire was still the same.
He really couldn't understand what was going on.
Why their two transformations were so different?
One could even speak...
Too many questions popped out inside his mind, but what happened after that stupid eagle assault was simply a mystery for him, so he asked: "Little thing, can you explain me something?"
The two halted their little quarrel and answered:
FLUSH!! FLUSH!!
"Of course... but, father... I want a beautiful name... a name... a name..."
Tian Yang scratched his head and muttered: "Well... what do you think about Green Lotus?"
"Green Lotus?!... Green Lotus... Hmm... I like it!... I like it... Hehe... Little Brother, from now on, you should call me Big Sister Green Lotus!!"
FLUSH!!
"Noooo... Not little sister, but big sister..."
The two resumed arguing, and of course, Tian Yang wanted to stop them, but then he thought about something.
His body was still lying to the ground recovering from that terrible injury, and those two were still there a few steps from him.
"FUCK!!!"
Tian Yang immediately sent his consciousness to the outside world, but what he found shocked him to the core.
|||
When Tian Yang was still searching his two missing Heavenly Veins, the young woman kept scolding little Bao.
"Well... that stupid human is dead. Let's go back." The young woman sighed, looking at Tian Yang's body.
Little Bao approached the corpse, attracted for some strange reason by the large pool of blood: "Big Sis... His blood smell so nicely... can I take it back with us?"
The young woman snorted and turned around: "Stupid... You should know how much I hate those dirty humans... I don't want his disgusting blood in my house."
Little Bao kept approaching the corpse, more and more.
That wonderful smell was like the voice of a temping demon for her.
Streams of drool kept dripping from her mouth, like rivers.
As her four paws moved closer to him, her eyes, which were bright green, slowly turned red.
Hearing no more words from little Bao, the young woman turned around and shockingly saw her little friend right above Tian Yang's head.
"Little Bao... come here, Now!!"
But once again, she received no response.
Her little friend was standing there, like a statue.
She felt that little Bao was breathing faster than usual...
And kept intensifying...
It became stronger and stronger...
Alarmed by her strange behavior, the young woman neared the creature and finally saw her two dark red eyes.
"LITTLE BAO!!!"
ROAR!!!

He was also worried that Gu Ning might get a straight flush, but it was hard too.
Although he didn't know what her face-down card was, he already had spades 8. Gu Ning's face-up cards were Q and 9. If she was going to make a straight flush, she needed spades 9, 10, J, Q, or K.
Except for the face-down card, her face-up cards weren't enough to make a straight flush.
Gu Ning kept adding chips, and the chips doubled every time. She placed another four chips on the table, and her next card was spades K.
For now, Gu Ning had spades 9, 10, Q and K. All she needed was a card of spades J so that she could make a straight flush.
In fact, Gu Ning had already used her Jade Eyes to see their cards during this round, so she was aware that Fan Zhihao was going to make four of a kind, and hers was a straight flush. That was the reason why Gu Ning kept adding her chips.
Seeing Gu Ning's cards, Fan Zhihao got a little nervous. However, he already had three cards of 8 now, so it was impossible for him to give up right now. Therefore, he threw another four chips to the table as well, and his next card was hearts 8.
With four cards of 8 in hands, Fan Zhihao was more excited now, but he didn't show it on his face. 
People started to discuss behind him.
"Jesus, could it be four of a kind?"
"Even if it isn't four of a kind, it could be full house!"
"Wow, it's so amazing!"
"As long as the woman can't get a straight flush, Mr. Fan is going to win."
"Um, could she get a straight flush? She already has spades 9, Q and K. If her face-down card is spades 10 or J, it will be a straight flush."
"I don't think it's that easy to make a straight flush."
…
More people believed that Fan Zhihao could win. Even He Hongyuan was cheered up a little seeing the cards in Fan Zhihao's hands.
The final card was about to be dealt. No matter what it was, Fan Zhihao was going to make four of a kind.
At this moment, Gu Ning placed another eight chips on the table.
The dealer gave the final card to Gu Ning, and it was spades J.
"OMG, could it really be a straight flush?"
Seeing that, everyone was shocked.
Fan Zhihao and He Hongyuan were disappointed. If Gu Ning really made a straight flush, they would lose again. In addition, Gu Ning didn't seem worried at all.
Given Gu Ning's four face-up cards, it could be a straight flush or straight.
With three face-up cards of 8 in hands, Fan Zhihao was likely to make four of a kind or full house in others' eyes.
If he made full house, Gu Ning would win no matter if hers was a straight flush or straight. If he made four of a kind, he might win on the condition that hers was straight.
Thinking of that, Fan Zhihao relaxed a little.
He also threw out another eight chips, and got his final card, which was hearts K.
In the end, each of them held five cards in hands, but they still needed to raise the bet before turning the face-down card up.
Once Fan Zhihao raised the bet, Gu Ning had to follow up if she wanted to reveal the face-down card, or she had to give up.
No one was willing to give up and lose all the previous chips at this time.
If Gu Ning gave up right now, her previous bets would be wasted. She could make straight flush this time after all!
Fan Zhihao was a little worried that Gu Ning's cards could be a straight flush in the end, so he didn't dare to take the risk and bet all his chips on the result. If he did that, he could lose all his money.
He was scared of Gu Ning's gambling skills, so he stayed cautious even though he had good cards in hand.
Accordingly, Fan Zhihao placed another 10 chips on the table, so did Gu Ning.
The moment Fan Zhihao flipped his face-down card over, everyone was astonished. 
"Jesus, it is four of a kind!"
"Unless she can make a straight flush, she'll lose."
All the chips they had laid during this round added up to 250 million yuan.
People turned to look at Gu Ning with one accord after seeing Fan Zhihao's face-down card.
They thought that Gu Ning would panic a little at least, but she looked calm as usual, which made He Hongyuan and Fan Zhihao anxious.
Is she going to make a straight flush?
Gu Ning turned her face-down card up, and it was indeed spades 10.
"OMG, it's a straight flush!"
"I can't believe my eyes!"
…
Some were greatly surprised, while some couldn't accept it.
He Hongjie was happy to see the result without doubt, while Fan Zhihao couldn't believe it.
After playing the second form of gambling, Gu Ning had chips of 1.01 billion yuan in all now.
Nobody had seen anyone else who could make a fortune as easily as she could before.
In fact, Gu Ning thought that stone gambling was the best way to make a lot of money. She actually wasn't very interested in other forms of gambling.
…
There were only two rounds left.
Fan Zhihao totally lost confidence in himself now, and started to be unlucky.
Gu Ning wasn't in during the ninth round, so she lost ten million yuan.
In the tenth round, Fan Zhihao got terrible cards, so he decided not to be in, and Gu Ning got the ten million yuan back.
All in all, Gu Ning still had chips of 1.01 billion yuan in her hands now.
In many people's eyes, it was a great fortune.
"Do you need to rest again?" He Yishao asked He Hongyuan and couldn't help gloating over their failure.

"When you play poker, it's easy to fall in love with it. But just like when meeting a beautiful person with a wretched heart, make sure you don't love for the wrong reasons. The greater the thrill, the greater the self-control necessary to know when to slow down. Otherwise, you might just drive off a cliff."

It was Wednesday. Today was the last night Joey would work at Angelo's this week, but unlike other jobs, he wasn't thrilled to escape the 9-5. He was starting to become accustomed to this lifestyle. The sounds and smells of the poker room. The feel of the cards on his hands. The wars of the mind.
As he walked up to Angelo's building, he felt a familiarity. It seemed he had grown fond of this place in this short time. Joey had to admit that recently, even beyond the cards, he could be considered lucky. Inside the card room, players hadn't arrived yet. He found Anwar speaking with Pedro about a hand that he saw on tv. 
"And then he was like I'm all in and the other guy was like I call and then he busted him! That was the end of the tournament! He flipped over three 7s and two 9s!" Anwar told the story as Pedro just nodded his head in slow motion like the slowest bobblehead on Earth.
"Hey Joey, did you see that hand I just mentioned?"
"With the three by two? No," Joey replied.
"The what?" Anwar asked, eyes squinting.
"The three 7s and two 9s you just said, the three by two," Joey clarified.
At this moment, a rope from above fell merely centimeters in front of Joey's face. He looked up to discover Amy. It seems she was eavesdropping from the ceiling fan for some reason. Now, she slowly slid down the rope upside down, somehow entering a Spiderman pose, and only stopping when her head became level with Joey's.
'How does she do that?' Joey hadn't taken physics yet, but that still didn't stop him from being confused as to what the hell was going on here.
There, hanging inverted, she said, "It seems you've been slacking off." Without warning, she spun and made her legs wrapped around Joey, doing a Sonya Blade leg grab as she flipped her body and used the leverage to fling Joey across the room and into the poker table.
"AAAHHH."
THUD
Anwar and Pedro watched all this, sympathizing with Joey's plight. They wore expressions of anger, then sadness, and finally acceptance. This was the process of dealing with grief. Some things in life could only be accepted, suffering was inevitable, Amy was such an unstoppable force.
"Do I look like Johnny Depp to you?!? This is abuse!" Joey screamed.
"This is tough love, did you not feel the love?" Amy's eyes were glowing red. Joey decided to make a tactical retreat.
"I think it's time to go over some basics. That nonsense you just said about a three by two made it clear you still have holes in your knowledge, young Padawan" she said.
Joey decided sometimes the best move was to no move at all. 'Go with the flow. Become one with world.' He recited a mantra. Spiritual awakening becomes easier when the alternative is being flung out a window.
Amy took out a deck of cards and sat Joey down at the poker table. 
"So you know that the point of Hold 'em is to make the best five card hand out of a total of seven cards: your two private pocket cards aka hole cards, plus the five community cards on the board. Let's go over the hand rankings of what those hands are from weakest to strongest..." She began dealing some cards and started her lesson.
"First take a look at this..." The cards she dealt read [Qh Kh Jd 7d 5d]. "Here you have no pair, no straight, and no flush. In other words, you have nothing. If you don't know what a straight or flush is, we'll get to that soon. With a five card hand like this, your hand strength is determined by your highest card, here that's king high, and it's very weak. The following point is intuitive enough, but here is the sequence of single cards from weakest to strongest: [2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 T J Q K A]."
She picked up the cards, reshuffled them, and dealt out five new cards. The board read [3h 3d 4h Jc Tc]. "Here you have one pair. Any pair beats any high card, even if your pair is as weak as 3s. In addition, any higher pair beats every lower pair. So a pair of 4s beats a pair of 3s. A pair of aces beats all other pairs..."
"Let's say both you and your opponent have a pair of aces, the tiebreaker goes to the kicker card which is the high card in the remaining three cards besides the pair. For example..." She dealt out another hand: [3c 3s 4d Qs 5c]. "Compare this pair of 3s and the pair of 3s from before. This new one has a queen as its highest card, so you would say a pair of 3s with a queen kicker and this would beat the 3s from before which only had a jack kicker." 
She picked up all the cards and dealt again, stopping mid deal to ooze a dark aura as she asked, "Are you paying attention?"
"Yes...yes mam," Joey replied.
"Good boy..." She kept dealing. This time she dealt out this board: [4d 4c 6h 6d 8c]. "This is two pair: 4s and 6s. Any two pair beats any one pair. Just so we're clear, any time I say a hand is stronger, that means it is stronger than every weaker hand in the chain. The strength rankings are linear going from weaker to stronger..."
She dealt out another hand: [2d 2c 5h 7d 7c]. "Here is another two pair. When you have two pair versus two pair, the one with the highest pair wins. So in this case, the 7s and 2s would beat 6s and 4s. In general, one and two pair hands can be considered anywhere from weak to somewhat strong depending on the situation." She picked up all the cards and dealt again.
[Jc Jd Js Ah 5h] "This is three of a kind or trips. Any three of a kind beats any two pair or weaker. Similar to one pair, higher trips beat lower trips." 
[6c 7d 8d 9h Th] "This is a ten high straight. A straight is when all five of your cards are in sequence, suits don't matter. The sequence could be from 2 to 6 or from ten to ace, but higher straights beat lower straights. Straights beat all trips and weaker. One caveat about straights is that the ace can serve as both the highest and lowest card in straights, so [A 2 3 4 5] is also a 5 high straight, however [J Q K A 2] would not work. Trips and straights are strong hands."
[2h 6h 8h Th Kh] "This is a flush which is when you have five or more cards of the same suit. It could be any suit, whether spades, hearts, etc. A flush is a very strong hand that beats all straights and weaker. There is one thing to note which is that the highest card often matters. This hand would be a king high flush and a higher flush beats lower flushes..."
"The high card for a flush is important because you often run into a situation where the five shared community cards have four or more cards of the flush. For example, if the community board is [2h 4h 7h Jh Qc], there are four hearts here, which means you only need one heart among your two pocket cards to have a flush. Now, the player with the highest heart in his pocket cards will have the highest flush, and thus the strongest hand."
"There are only three more hand types so hang in there." She had Anwar pass Joey a Gatorade and a towel.
[4d 4c 4s 5c 5h] "This is a full house, also known as a full boat. This is when you have trips and a pair together. The tiebreaker for this first compares the trips. So if two people have a full house, the one with higher trips wins. If they both have the same rank of trips, which only happens when there are trips on the community board, then the higher side pair wins. Any full house beats any flush or weaker."
[8d 8c 8s 8h 9c] "This is four of a kind and is pretty self-explanatory. This beats any full house or below. Four of a kind or a full house could be anywhere from strong to monsters."
[5s 6s 7s 8s 9s] "This is a straight flush. That's when you have a straight and a flush simultaneously. This is an absolute monster hand and beats everything discussed so far. Similar to straights, the higher the rank of your top card, the stronger the straight flush."
[Tc Jc Qc Kc Ac] "This is a royal flush. It's really just a straight flush but it has its own title because it's the strongest hand in poker and extremely rare to see."
"That's it. Now you understand poker hand rankings, so you can go die now."
Joey was confused, but then he started to feel woozy. 'Oh no...that drink Anwar gave me...she must have put white powder in it.' He fell off the chair and crawled on the ground like he was doing army boot camp under a barb wire fence. He barely managed to reach the sofa and pull himself up before passing out."
His dreams weren't sweet.

"A High Hand!? It's a bluff!!! We focused too much at the idea of his Raise that we didn't thought about his hand."


A fabulous bluff by Yanlei!!! In just a matter of seconds, Jose's funds of 3 Million shrinks down to 2!!! But...!!!

"Our goal is to defend this money. Even 2 Million... no, even a million will be enough to change our lives!!! We just need to defend this, we won't be aiming for more!!!"

The goal is to defend! Jose and Antonio needs to defend their castle from the Yanlei's siege. They won't be aiming for the opponent's head! They just need to defend the castle! Defend and win!!!


"Yanlei got us earlier. But if he raises to 2 Million again this round, we have to play the Royal Flush and end it there. But if we play the Royal Flush here at the second round, what about our third? He can raise again to the third round..."


The question is... either to play the Royal Flush at the second round or the third round! Predicting whether Yanlei will raise has a huge role in this logic.


For example, if their hunch is that Yanlei will Raise here then playing the Royal Flush will be the right choice. The Royal Flush is the strongest hand and It's impossible for you to lose unless you folded.


If their hunch and he actually did a Raise, then they're going to confidently Call! Then, the showdown will begin, and another victory for them! But...!!! If Yanlei didn't called a Raise here, and they played the Royal Flush, they would have won but... they don't have any reliable weapon for the 3rd Round. No more room for strategy, they will have to play the last hand they have, the Pairs!!!


"First of all, Yanlei's hand earlier is a High Hand. It's a worthless hand not even worth fighting for. But he just called a Raise and the two of us got scared! Even a simple bluff could shake us! We're cowards! But...!!! If you play the same tricks again and again, even an idiot will learn! We're going to use the One Pair! He's not going to Raise!!!"


Antonio locked that thought to his mind and whispered the things to Jose. Once again, Jose returned it with a nod. He picked the One Pairs then held it in his hand. Only 2 minutes after he decided, Yanlei also picked a hand.


"So what will be the bet, Jose?"


"Still the same, 1 Work Years..."

"Still not changing, huh? You bunch of cowards..."

Yanlei whispered those words to the both of them and Antonio suddenly felt a chill down his spine! The moment he felt this...

"Stop!!!"

He shouted in reflex! He doesn't know what's wrong but he knows that there's something wrong. A vague feeling he already felt multiple times this night!!!

"What's wrong, Antonio? We're playing here."

"Yanlei! Let us change our hand!!!"

+++++

A sudden declaration from Antonio! Antonio's declaration was so loud that the his voice echoed at the whole room. Nevertheless, the two people at the room, Yanlei and Jose, heard it loud and clear.

"Hey, hey... changing hands, aren't we? It's forbidden, you know?"

Yanlei said it in front of Antonio himself. Changing hands are not allowed if Jose already said his bet. This is common sense and all games, of course. But...!!! Antonio is trying to break the common sense! He's trying to ask the impossible! He knows that he's not going to be allowed, but still... he asks! He still asks!!!

Like someone begging at his boss. He knows that his request will not be allowed, no, It's impossible! But he still asks! Why? Because he believes that the possibility is not zero! They don't know what's going to happen in the future!!! That's why he asks!

"Changing hands is really forbidden, you know? But... I'll permit it, just this once. You could change your hand."

A miraculous turn of events!!! Yanlei actually permitted the two of them to change their hands! Truly, a miraculous event! Even Antonio himself can't believe it and said "thank you" to him. After hearing Yanlei's permission, Jose immediately whispered to Antonio:

"Antonio, what's the problem?"

"I changed my mind, It's not safe to play the One Pair! We're going to play the Royal Flush!"

If the two of them plays the Royal Flush, It's not a problem for them even if he Raises, and It's impossible for them to lose using that hand. In short, in just this round, they'll be completely safe!!!

Jose nodded as a sign of agreeing and took the Royal Flush card. 

"The bet is still the same, right?"

"It's the same."

Confirming that, Yanlei took his hand again and smiled at them like he always do. Will this Antonio's change of path brings them joy or sorrow!? Heaven or Hell!? Death Or Resurrection!? Which is it!? Antonio! Antonio!! ANTONIO!!!!

Third person POV 

While Poker is played in innumerable forms, a player who understands the values of the Poker hands and the principles of betting can play without difficulty in any type of Poker game. 

Except in a few versions of the game, a Poker hand consists of five cards. The various combinations of Poker hands rank from five of a kind (the highest) to no pair or nothing (the lowest):

Five of a Kind – This is the highest possible hand and can occur only in games where at least one card is wild, such as a joker, the two one-eyed jacks, or the four deuces. Examples of five of a kind would be four 10s and a wild card or two queens and three wild cards.

Straight Flush – This is the highest possible hand when only the standard pack is used, and there are no wild cards. A straight flush consists of five cards of the same suit in sequence, such as 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 of hearts. 

The highest-ranking straight flush is the A, K, Q, J, and 10 of one suit, and this combination has a special name: a royal flush or a royal straight flush. The odds on being dealt this hand are 1 in almost 650,000.

Four of a Kind – This is the next highest hand, and it ranks just below a straight flush. An example is four aces or four 3s. It does not matter what the fifth, unmatched card is.

Full House – This colorful hand is made up of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank, such as three 8s and two 4s, or three aces and two 6s.

Flush – Five cards, all of the same suit, but not all in sequence, is a flush. An example is Q, 10, 7, 6, and 2 of clubs.

Straight – Five cards in sequence, but not all of the same suit is a straight. An example is 9♥, 8♣, 7♠, 6♦, 5♥.

Colts brother stared at the men in confusion, you can tell stuff like this doesn't happen to them often. 

The door was pulled harshly open abs colt was being pulled out by his collar. He tried to struggle but stopped when a syringe was pushed into his neck, suddenly passing out. This time he was out for good.

"Yo, what the chicken" his brother yelled at the guys.

They ignored him and ran off to where they parked their car. They left a lone brother highly confused. They once again put colt in the backseat now tying him up and putting duct tape on his lips, very effective.

They both got back in the drivers seat and passengers seat and drove off. It was going to be hell a when they got back to base. Try telling the boss we lost the person for a moment cause he jumped out of the car.

It would not go well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Colt groaned as his eyes fluttered open. He suddenly had a splitting headache that didn't feel good at all. He clutched his head as he sat up in which he now realized was a chair.

He gasp and went to get up when realized that one of his hand and feet was chained to the chair. "Try not to freak out" a voice suddenly spoke out. Colt moved his eyes until it landed on the person in front of him.

The person was sat at a large desk with his hands folded neatly. 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕗𝕦𝕔𝕜 𝕚𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕘𝕦𝕪, 𝕒 𝕞𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕧𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕒𝕟 𝕠𝕣 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘, colt thought. He looked around and realized he was in a huge office space.

Their was a wall of glass behind the man and his desk where you can see the city. Colts guess was this guy was a big shot CEO or something similar. But what de didn't expect was the next few words that left the mans mouth.

"Hi, my name is Jackson Lord, and to put it simply I'm the government" he spoke so calm, so nonchalantly, as if he were explaining his last night meal, it was weird. 

Colts eyes widened, his ears couldn't believe it. Was his mind playing tricks on him but did he just hear that he was kidnapped by the government. The surprise was surly shown on his face.

"And we want you in the gambling system"

What happens when a mind reading guy is offered a deal he just can’t pass up.



[slow updates]

Tell me why, in a building full of professional adults, there is a need to put certain signs above certain areas.  Do we need a "No Running" sign in an office environment?  Do we need a sign for the kitchen area that directs people to clean up after themselves?  What is society coming to when the most basic aspects of human conduct must be subtly reinforced by the use of signage. 
Here's what started this topic.   I worked in a 6 story building full of adults, professional working adults.  In this building, we obviously have restrooms and kitchen areas, conference rooms and offices.  Each is labeled with the appropriate sign denoting what it is and what it is used for, rightfully so.  One thing that caught me off guard is a sign I saw in the restroom.  Above the toilet (not the urinal) there is a special sign, something I had to tell my 4 year old and 6 year old consistently. "Please Flush".  Please flush?  Please flush!?  What the fuck sort of world do we live in that an office building full of grown working adults has to have signs placed above the restroom equipment reminding people to flush their fecal matter down the toilet!?
This has peeked my curiosity to the point that I think an experiment is in order.  From now on I am going to take a piece of masking tape and add the word "Don't" between "Please" and "Flush" and see what happens.  Is our society that codependent on signage to instruct us of the most basic of the human functions?  I will gladly report the results after one day of testing or until the toilet overflows with fecal matter and the "adults" try to figure out what the problem is. 
Ramble, ramble, ramble.  You have to be thinking that at this point if you've read this far.  It just caught me off guard that we need THAT posted as a reminder.  What we really need is a sign posted on every corner of every block of every city in every area of the world that reads "Please Be Kind to One Another" or "Please No Murdering", "Please No Raping", "Please No Violence", "Please No Parking in More Than One Parking Spot". 
Maybe there is a method to the madness, which is why I have never seen anything other than water in the bathroom facilities.  Should we award the Nobel Peace Prize to the person that cracked the human neurological code by figuring out that all we need is a sign to point us in the right direction? 
Remember, flush your poop or you're a douche!

This is a collection of hilarious blogs written over a long period of time.  Some are serious but mostly this book is comprised of blogs that are silly and funny.

Joseph couldn't be happier at this turn of events.
As he said, in a 50-card deck without the jokers, the chance of Shen Yao getting the 6 of diamonds was one in fifty, and the chance of getting the 7 of diamonds was also another one in fifty. Together, it was just nearly impossible to get both of them. So, Shen Yao probably only had a flush or a straight.
It was definitely reasonable for Joseph to go all in with her.
"20 million, I also raise." Joseph's face was radiant from happiness. 
The other player narrowed his eyes. In fact, Joseph and Shen Yao's hands were very similar. If they could get two cards of the same suit, then it would be a godly hand, or else his straight could beat both of them.
But, he also became hesitant. One of those two most likely wouldn't have a flush, but if he were to bet that both of them didn't have a flush, then he wouldn't be as confident. After all, the revealed cards of those two were the same but of different suits, with one being diamonds and one being hearts, and he also didn't get any cards of those suits, so it was very likely for the diamonds and hearts to be in their face-down cards. 
At the thought of this, he hesitated on whether he should take the risk or not. After all, throwing down 20 million now meant he had to throw in a lot more money later on, and it would be miserable if he were to lose.
Finally, this guy decided to fold. 
"It's the two of us facing off again. To be honest, Beautiful Lady, don't you think this is destiny?" Joseph laughed and said.
Shen Yao threw in 50 million yuan in chips. "Sure, destiny is here, but I don't know if our families are of the same class. I raise, 50 million."
Joseph was too excited. Just throw in as much money as you want. Today, in addition to the part I'm laundering, I'm also winning your money.
"I said before, I will follow you until the end. If the man isn't as bold as the woman, then how can he court her?" Joseph said. 
Shen Yao: "Mr. Joseph, I'm not a person that likes to lie. My hand was just like you said, a flush."
Then, she threw in another 100 million.
Joseph was already out of cash. So, he had no choice but to temporarily use some of his company's money. Originally, the money he lost was supposed to be the amount that the casino laundered for him, but who knew that Shen Yao would win it all. Now, he also couldn't get the casino to lend him money, so he could only use the company money. But that was fine since he wasn't going to lose anyways, or so he thought.
"100 million, I'll raise as well. But, I don't believe that you have a flush." Joseph looked at Shen Yao and said, "Even if you do, I'm not scared."
Shen Yao also looked towards Joseph. She wasn't stupid, and she could estimate the hand Joseph had. Joseph had a 3, a 5, and a 7 revealed, and he needed a 4 and a 6 of hearts in order to get a straight flush. However, even if the dealer gave him a 4 and a 6, he would only have a 7-high straight flush, whereas she had a 9-high!
But, she couldn't let Joseph see how happy she was, or she might scare the big fish away. 
"I feel that Mr. Joseph, you are indeed very rich. How much have you played today?"
"I'm afraid the amount is probably over 100 million US dollars, so it would be even more when converted to yuan," Joseph said, "But, that's not my limit."
"Oh really?" Shen Yao provoked him, "Then I want to see what your limit is. I raise, 200 million yuan!"
Hahahaha! Joseph was secretly dying of laughter on the inside. This round, it seemed like he was going to get all the money he lost back and perhaps even more.
Then what was he waiting for? Since his opponent wanted to give him money, then he just needed to raise as well. 
"I raise." Joseph rekindled a cigar and exhibited a satisfied temperament he hadn't shown before. 
Xu Cheng then said to the bodyguard, "Go put on an act. Pretend to try to talk her out of it."
The bodyguard got closer to Shen Yao and whispered, "Young Madam, I think we should get back now."
At this moment, Joseph really wanted to cut off that bodyguard's tongue. Although the bodyguard was whispering, he chose a volume that was just loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.
Shen Yao lowered her voice and said to the bodyguard, "But my hand's a bit better than before, I think I can win."
Joseph and the others first paused for a moment. Better than before? Was she referring to the round she won? Didn't she have straight that round? And a bit better than that round, so she had a flush this round?
Although Shen Yao's voice was low, Joseph still heard, and the smile on his face became brighter. 
"Are you planning to fold now? If yes, then I'm going to take away the chips," Joseph immediately said.
"Who said I'm folding?" Shen Yao gritted her teeth. "I'll raise another 500 million!"
Joseph suddenly began coughing.
Shen Yao lifted her brows. "Mr. Joseph, could it be that you got scared? Are you at your limit already?" 
"Nope." Joseph patted his chest. "I wasn't scared, I was just shocked that you really don't know how to play."
Joseph immediately got his company's foreign exchange account to take out a line of credit of 200 million US dollars, and he directly put down 500 million yuan as well.
"I call."
Shen Yao only had the one billion yuan Xu Cheng gave her. Plus Xu Cheng's real estate that could be used as collateral, she had a total of 1.6 billion yuan to work with. Seeing how hesitant she was, Xu Cheng immediately said to her, "Just call, don't chicken out. You chickening out will spell bankruptcy for me now. If you feel guilty about me losing all my money, then you just need to cover my meals in the future."
In her heart, Shen Yao said to herself, "Deal."
If that was really the case, then she really hoped Xu Cheng would lose all his money.
"500 million." After Shen Yao raised, she looked at Joseph, her eyes filled with determination.
Joseph began panicking a bit. After all, there was so much money on the table, and his opponent seemed to be going all in. Normally, if someone did that, then the decision must be backed by a strong hand. At the thought of this, Joseph looked towards the dealer, hoping for some advice. In the past few rounds, the dealer constantly gave him looks since he could check on Shen Yao's hand with the hidden camera. But now, the camera got blocked, and the dealer also wasn't confident anymore as well.
Sensing Joseph's look, the dealer could only lower his head and not give an answer.
Fack it! Joseph slammed the desk and shouted, "500 million!"
Shen Yao immediately responded, "1 billion!"
Joseph's eyes twitched. Taking another look at his hand, it was a straight flush, what was he scared of? Just because the woman that had been hesitating now became more determined? How could he be suppressed by a woman?
"I'm the tail this round, 1 billion, let's reveal!" Joseph felt the round should end now, or both sides would be out of money to put on the table.
Revealing his two face-down cards, he said, "3, 4, 5, 6, 7, a straight flush! Let's just say you got lucky and got a flush, but so what? Can you beat me? Beautiful Lady, I told you, you really don't know how to play."
Shen Yao flipped over her 7 of diamonds, and then she flipped over her last face-down card. "Then what about another straight on top of the flush?"
On the table, the cards making up a 9-high straight flush were all displayed.
Joseph's eyes almost popped out after seeing this, and he immediately fell from the chair.
Xu Cheng took out the earpiece from his ear right away, and sure enough, for someone like Shen Yao who had never won this much money before, she delivered an unprecedented scream at the very next moment, one with a dolphin-like high pitch that could pierce a man's eardrum. 
The bodyguard immediately began helping Shen Yao pack up the chips.
Joseph suddenly climbed up from the ground, grabbed onto the dealer's collar, and shouted, "You dare to play me like this? Go and facking get your boss out!"
Then, he punched the dealer in the face out of anger and immediately took out his phone to directly call the middleman behind this money-laundering deal.
Xu Cheng immediately told the technician, "Eavesdrop on his phone call right now. See who he's calling." 
The officer nodded and got on it right away.
Joseph naturally didn't know that his phone was being tracked. The moment the call went through, the technician immediately said in amazement, "Captain Xu, it's Chang Qing."
Xu Cheng: "Record the call."
Joseph went to the washroom and shouted, "You m*therfacker, give me an explanation. Just now, I didn't get a single cent from the money I'm laundering, and I even lost 300 million of my company's money. Mr. Qin, are you playing me?"
On the other end, Chang Qing's face immediately changed. "Mr. Joseph, calm down. I think we are getting sniped today. How about this, let's temporarily pause for today, and I will get you the money that's supposed to be laundered to you through the underground money house first."
Joseph was not satisfied. "Then what about the 300 million dollars I lost?"
Chang Qing: "Mr. Joseph, the casino doesn't have that much money to give you. Go with my people right now, and they will take you to the underground money house. I will meet you there and talk to you."
Joseph: "Okay."
Not long after, Joseph left with one of the managers of the casino in a Mercedes sedan.
Xu Cheng immediately said to the mic, "Li Chao, Wu Gang, commence the operation. There's a Mercedes S600 sedan with plate number ******, tail him."
Having long been ready on stand by, Li Chao and Wu Gang immediately became energetic and answered, "Yes, Sir!"
Then, they got into an undercover car, and their GPS received the satellite tracking signal from the technicians at the command center. 
Xu Cheng immediately said to the undercover police officer responsible for protecting Shen Yao, "Keep her safe, evacuate her right away." 
Then, Xu Cheng said to the other officers at the command center, "Tell the tax bureau that they can move now."
"Yes, Sir!" The technician immediately picked up the phone and dispatched the team from the tax bureau that had been on standby, who directly went into the casino for a raid. Today, a lot of cash there would have unclear sources, and this time, they wouldn't have the time to prepare the books. 


There’s SIS in great Britain, CIA in the US. In Huaxia, there’s Dragon Division, known as the mysterious power of the East.
When a soldier that originally failed to be selected to join, appeared on the Dragon Division’s list again, no one noticed, that this inconspicuous and humble-looking guy was actually the Dragon King of the division, the one that’s most difficult to deal with.
Mercenary: “Report, our squad is under attack, suffering heavy casualties!”
Commander: “How many enemies are out there?”
Mercenary: “Just… just one! There’s a joker card in his hand.”
HQ: “What?! Hurry, retreat!”

"So, what will be doing?"
"Margip poker…"
"What's that?"
"Margarita strip poker."
"Again what's that?"
"Well we play poker, obviously. The winning hand strip, the losing hands drinks"
"You guys will have to teach me how to play poker but other than that we are good."
Daniel sighed and said, "Alright, Arsenio's elegance lets teach you poker."
"Arsenio's elegance?"
"Yes Athena that's what I am going to call you. Don't try to debate it. I have spoken… that's what I am going to call you whether you like it or not."
"Whatever…"
"I will first tell you the ten rankings…"
Daniel placed a deck of cards the ten, jack, queen, king and ace of spades.
"This right here is a royal flush nothing beats it. No matter what."
Pushing them aside, he placed 2, 3,4,5,6 of hearts.
"This is the straight flush. Basically, its five cards in sequence, of the same suit. In the event of a tie, the highest rank at the top of the sequence wins. That's the second highest set."
He then moved on to place four Aces and a ten.
"Four of a kind. Four cards of the same rank, and one side card or 'kicker'. In the event of a tie, the player with the highest side card ('kicker') wins. Next up is Full House. That's basically, three cards of the same rank, and two cards of a different, matching rank. In the event of a tie, the highest three matching cards wins. You're following?"
"Yes"
"Alright, then. We move on to Flush. Five cards of the same suit. They do not have to be in sequence. In the event of a tie, the player holding the highest ranked card wins. Then, comes, Straight. That's five cards in sequence but not of the same suit. If like we have a tie, then the highest ranking card at the top of the sequence wins."
Daniel looked up at Athena to make sure she was still with him. 
"Don't worry... go on…"
"Now comes in Three of a Kind."
"Let me guess, Three cards of the same number while two are not of that number?"
"smart girl. Alright, if we have a tie the player with the highest, and if necessary, second-highest side card ('kicker') wins. Next is the two pair. Two cards of matching rank, two cards of different matching rank, and one kicker. If both players have an identical Two Pair, the highest kicker wins."
"Go on…"
"Pair is two cards of matching rank, and three unrelated side cards. In the event of a tie, the player with the highest, and if necessary, second or third-highest side card wins. And last one is highest card. Any hand that does not qualify under the categories listed. In the event of a tie, the highest card wins, such as 'ace-high'. Got it this far?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you repeat the ranking for me?"
"Okay. The royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, pair and high card. Did I get it right?"
"Yes! Now let's go over the rule while Freda makes Margaritas"
"Okay." The girls said in unison.
"Let's talk about winning first. Typically, the winner of each hand of poker is the player that holds the highest ranked hand when all cards are shown at the end of the hand – known as the 'showdown' – or the player that makes the last uncalled bet, thus winning without needing to reach a showdown.
Poker starts with a forced bet. These forced bets comprise the starting pot in any given hand of poker, which is the first incentive players have to win the hand. Action arising from the subsequent rounds of betting further increases the size of the pot.
After any initial cards are dealt, players are usually called upon to act in turn, moving clockwise around the table.
Each player can usually take one of the following actions when it is their turn to act:
Check – To check is to decline the opportunity to open the betting. Players can only check when there is no bet during the current round, and the act of checking passes the action clockwise to the next person in the hand. If all active players check, those players remain in the hand and the round is considered complete.
Bet – Players may bet if no other players have bet during the current round. Once a bet has been made, other players must 'call' by matching the amount bet, in order to remain in the hand.
Fold – Players who fold forfeit their cards and cannot win or act again during the current hand.
Call – Players can call if other players have bet during the current round; this requires the calling player to match the highest bet made.
Raise – Players may raise if other players have bet during the current round; this requires the raising player to match the highest bet made, and then make a greater one. All subsequent players are required to call the raise or raise again ('re-raise') to stay in the hand.
The pre-flop betting round begins as soon as all players have received their hole cards, before any community cards have been dealt; betting on the flop occurs after the first three community cards are dealt; on the turn after the fourth community card; and on the river after the fifth and final community card.
On each betting round, betting continues until every player has either matched the bets made or folded. When the betting round is completed, the next dealing/betting round begins, or the hand is complete.
In the version we are playing we have to hole cards and five community cards. I can use variable of it to make my well you holding hand. Be it a flush, or a straight or whatever.
Then, we have a showdown. You want to avoid this. As I always say it's about playing the man not the game. You can with shitty cards by well bluffing. So, if you played it right a showdown may never happen and you win. 
Once the last bet or raise has been called during the final round of betting, a showdown occurs; the remaining active players must show or 'declare' their hands, and the players with the best ranking hands win the pot.
Bets usually have limits but I don't like that so you know. Bet as much as you like.
Finally All – in. That's when you put all that you have on the round.
Oh Lord! That monologue was long! Did you understand everything?"
"I think so..?"
"Then let's start."

“Liza…” he said.

His hand reached out, his fingertips brushing against the creature’s fair cheek. The Sarrafas was quite a magnificent creature once. He palmed her face and leaned in, his lips trembling with anticipation. He was finally going to taste her lips. He had longed for their pressure so long that he could now scarcely tell whether this was a dream or reality. 

He was close, so very close that his breath teased her lips. She wanted this just as much as he did. She was in love with him just as much as he was. 

And just as his lips finally touched hers a loud gurgling sound echoed in her ears. A bright red river of blood escaped his mouth as he choked on his own blood. He tried to say something, perhaps call her name but he was helpless and all alone.

He had saved the Sarrafas, but at what cost?

"Mr. Leon is indeed proficient in Mandarin Chinese. You can even apply our popular internet slang appropriately, impressive!" Xiao Luo said, giving a thumbs up to Leon to provoke him.
Leon was so outraged that his face turned blue, but he forced a smile and replied, "You are speaking too highly of me, for the cultural roots of Hua nation are profound and fascinating. I am so mesmerized by them—it is such a waste that I wasn't born in this country."
"You can always consider migrating here. The Hua nation would always welcome an outstanding talent like Mr. Leon with open arms," Xiao Luo said, still trying to get under his skin.
"With open arms?"—oh, for gods' sake!
Leon was infuriated to the point that fumes of anger were steaming out of his body. He had prestigious social and financial status in the States and a significant influence on shaping their society. Even the election of the current president was determined through a relationship with his family. To ask him to migrate to Hua nation was downright insulting—did Xiao Luo think that he was that foolish?
Leon hit back immediately and said to Su Li, "Well, if Sabrina decides to divorce Mr. Xiao and marry me, I will gladly migrate to Hua nation without any hesitation."
"Then you might as well keep staying in the States," Su Li replied.
Shen Qingyan chuckled. "Mr. Leon is very humorous; how could Li and Mr. Xiao divorce when they already have a child," she said.
Already have a child?
Leon widened his eyes in disbelief. It struck him like a bolt from the blue; the goddess he admired had married another, and she even conceived a child—this was too much for him to accept!
Then, the gambling chips they exchanged were brought in on two gigantic trolleys and were stacked before the two players, forming pyramids of impressive size. The two piles consisted of tokens of various denominations—fifty thousand, a million, and five million.
"Deal the cards!"
Leon yelled at the dealer. He had a dark scowl on his face and was clenching his teeth as he stared at Xiao Luo, clearly seething with anger.
On the other hand, Xiao Luo was taking little sips from his teacup in a relaxed manner, ignoring Leon altogether.
The dealer continued dealing out cards. Leon got a Jack of Hearts while Xiao Luo got the Ace of Spade for the third card; then, Leon got Ten of Hearts while Xiao Luo got Three of Diamonds for the fourth card.
What?!
Leon confidently pushed out all the chips stacked before him—it was a two million bet! He then stared at Xiao Luo and said, "Mr. Xiao, are you raising?"
Leon had a sinister smile on his face and coupled with his ever-present scowl, and he wore a savage and terrifying expression.
Combining the previous hundred million with this two hundred million, he had now placed a total of three hundred million on the bet. The atmosphere in the room was thick with anxiety and apprehension. Everyone, including the dealer, the casino staff, Su Li, and Shen Qingyan, felt slightly breathless as they followed the game.
"Mr.Leon's pocket card should be King of Hearts, and if you get another Nine of Hearts, you would have gathered a straight flush. Then, I wouldn't be able to match up to you even with four aces," Xiao Luo said.
Leon couldn't help smiling. "Good analysis, but it's all bullshit. I am asking if you dare to raise the bet?" he responded.
Xiao Luo smiled calmly and said, "Why not?"
After Xiao Luo finished speaking, he too pushed out his the chips into the pool, and the stacks of tokens came crashing down like collapsing towers.
Both Su Li and Shen Qingyan were petrified as the probability of Xiao Luo getting four aces was very low. As for Leon, even if he didn't manage to get a straight flush, he would still beat Xiao Luo's "three of a kind" with any regular flush. With a quarter of the deck having the suite of Hearts, Leon's probability of getting a flush was significantly higher. Logically speaking, Xiao Luo was in a relatively disadvantaged position this round.
Seeing that Xiao Luo had called him on his bet, Leon felt a little insecure as three hundred million was no small amount. His subordinate had already cautioned him that if he were to lose that sum, the higher-ups in his family would be extremely disappointed in him. It would undoubtedly prevent him from inheriting the enormous family estate consisting of properties and businesses.
Leon stared at Xiao Luo coldly and said, "Well, Mr. Xiao, if you ever lose this three hundred million, you probably would have to work your *ss off the rest of your life to repay the debt."
"Nah, it's just a little money. It's not a lot!" Xiao Luo quipped.
Both Su Li and Shen Qingyan almost faint when they heard that. If three hundred million was just a little, then what was considered a lot?
Leon smiled mirthlessly as he thought to himself—keep boasting... you can keep bragging, and we shall see what happens when your bubble bursts!
He then shouted at the dealer, "Cards!"
This was the last card, and it was as crucial as the pocket card; the dealer slid the players their cards across the table facing down.
Leon covered the fifth card with another card and peeked as he slowly rubbed the cards together, exposing the bottom one. As he did so, beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, and he did not even dare to breathe. When Leon saw that the exposed corner of the card, he knew it was a Seven. His heart sank. But when he revealed the card further, he was somewhat elated as it turned out to be Seven of Hearts. He let out a sigh of relief and flipped the card over slowly.
"Although it's not a straight flush, it's still a flush. It's more than enough to beat you. By the way, what's your last card? Why don't you flip it over?"
"I'm afraid you won't like it."
Having said that, Xiao Luo opened his card with a confident smile, and it was none other than Ace of Spades. He had now gathered three aces, and if his pocket card turned out to be the Ace of Diamonds, it would constitute a "four of a kind," which was bigger than a flush.
Leon was stressed out, suddenly feeling thirsty, and he broke into a cold sweat. He wondered how this b*stard could be so lucky to have landed three aces. If his pocket card was also an ace, then... no, it couldn't possibly be happening; there's no way a man could be that lucky to gather four aces at one go, for the probability was too low. No, he wouldn't have it.
He flipped his pocket card over. To cover up the fear in his mind, he shouted, "Stop being dodgy, show your hand! I don't believe you have that ace!"
Both Su Li and Shen Qingyan stared at Xiao Luo with trepidation as the moment had come to show his hand. If it were really Ace of Diamonds, then it would be Xiao Luo's victory. Otherwise, Leon would win in every other scenario. Although they were not the players, they felt more even nervous than anyone else!
"The probability of gathering four aces is indeed very low, but I stick to what I have said before—a low probability doesn't mean an impossibility."
Xiao Luo seemed like he knew what the result would be, and he flipped the pocket card with high confidence. Lo and behold, it was the Ace of Diamonds! "Four of a kind, and it happens to be bigger than your flush. Good game, Mr. Leon," he said.
Impossible, how is this even possible!
Leon leaned back on the chair and looked utterly miserable, his eyes empty and forlorn. He gazed at Xiao Luo in disbelief like he was staring at a monster, and on his face, there was nothing but shock.
"Are you okay, Mr. Leon?" Shen Qingyan asked. Leon's face had turned a dreadful pale, and she wanted to make sure that he did not collapse on the spot.
"I...I'm fine. Thanks for your concern, Ms. Demi..." Leon responded. He looked down with his eyes reddened as he realized the magnitude of his loss.
Xiao Luo felt very much at ease, and he did not forget to mock Leon for his predicament. "Mr. Leon is indeed from an affluent house. A mere three hundred million is like nothing to you. Yes, isn't this so recreational, Mr. Leon?"
Recreational?
F*ck you $%@%^$...
Leon almost vomited blood from anger, for it had never crossed his mind that things would turn out this way. All he wanted to do was to win over Xiao Luo's savings and give them to Su Li to fulfill his aim of belittling Xiao Luo and, at the same, elevating his own image to impress her. However, with the awkward situation he suddenly found himself in, he couldn't help spewing out a barrage of expletives at Xiao Luo to vent his anger.


Xiao Luo and his girlfriend had been in love with each other for four years when she proposed a break up. Because of this, Xiao Luo sped his car in the night and ended up in a car accident. But it was a blessing in disguise as he unexpectedly fused with a high tech system that originated from a universe hundreds of billions of light years away. From this moment on, the entire world started to run amok.....
