Chapter 159

Shen Yue actively took L.A.'s advice and bet half of the money she had just won.

Seeing this, L.A. immediately pushed forward a big pile of chips in front of him, and started to entice, "When your luck is good, you have to be willing to give up more. Only by investing more can you get higher returns. Anyway, aren't those piles in your hands all won by you? Even if you bet it all, you won't lose anything. But if you win, it will be double the return."

After hearing L.A.'s words, Shen Yue didn't hesitate to push the chips forward, betting all the chips she had just won.

Number 14 wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Once the chips were placed, there was no taking them back. Seeing this, L.A. laughed heartily, "Good! You've got guts! I just love competing with people like you!"

Shen Yue raised her eyes slightly, her impression of L.A. changed.

If L.A., who was pestering Number 14 earlier, gave Shen Yue the impression of being a ridiculous pervert, then at this moment, just for that brief instant, Shen Yue felt the charm of L.A..

Describing the frenzied behavior of gamblers as guts, describing gambling as a contest, and describing the path leading to the abyss of despair as the battlefield where heroes belong, this was the illusion conveyed by L.A.'s brief words and cheerful smile.

Shen Yue thought she would no longer crave anything, but just now when she pushed out the chips, even if it was just for a moment, she also felt the thrill that ran through her whole body.

"Deal the cards!"

With L.A.'s voice, the game started again. But this time was different from the previous few times. Si Chengyou and Number 14 were the first to run out of cards. Shen Yue lost her left and right guards. She could only face L.A. directly.

At this time, L.A. only had one card left, while Shen Yue still had two. After the last two rounds of drawing, Shen Yue already knew which card in her hand was the turtle card, and L.A.'s hand was hovering over her turtle card.

Shen Yue's face was expressionless, no matter which card L.A. put his hand on, she had the same look. This made L.A. feel a little boring.

He stopped teasing Shen Yue and accurately picked up the card in Shen Yue's hand that was not the turtle card. Seeing the result, he pretended to be surprised and looked at the card in his hand. He smiled at Shen Yue, "It seems I'm quite lucky this round to be able to win."

Shen Yue lowered her eyes. Luck, L.A. kept emphasizing this word. But was this game really just about luck?

Was it also because Si Chengyou and Number 14 were lucky that they left the game first in this round?

Shen Yue didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered what Si Chengyou had said: My luck has always been bad. If I rely solely on luck, I will always be a loser.

Relying solely on luck can only make one a loser.

Shen Yue repeated this sentence to herself.

L.A.'s minions took back L.A.'s winnings this round, and split Shen Yue's losses to Si Chengyou and Number 14.

"Kid, your expression just now was indeed flawless, but your luck was a little off. Maybe next round you can turn the tables. You had already won so much just now, it was really a pity."

After L.A. finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and clamped it between his lips. But after all, he didn't dare light it up, he could only let it hang there to satisfy his craving. "You already lost last round, so the probability of losing again this round is low. What do you think, another round?"

Si Chengyou didn't say anything at the side. Apart from that one sentence discussing luck with L.A., Si Chengyou was like an extra in the game, silent whether he won or lost, without any complaints.

He also didn't give Shen Yue any hints.

Number 14 wanted Shen Yue to stop playing. With Shen Yue's current skills, she was no match for L.A.. But Number 14 knew why Shen Yue had come here, so he didn't say anything in the end.

Needless to say about Danni La, she just stood behind Shen Yue like a background prop.

So now at the gambling table, it was only Shen Yue negotiating with L.A..

Hearing L.A.'s words, Shen Yue nodded her head like before. But this time she also said something, "I just had bad luck last round."

L.A. smiled and followed Shen Yue’s words, "That's right. Last round I was just a bit luckier when I picked the right card. With four people drawing this round, the probability of you losing again is low, you can at least win a little."

That was what he said, but in the end it came down to just L.A. and Shen Yue again. For some reason, Si Chengyou and Number 14 matched their cards together very smoothly this round, and quickly completed their hands. And the turtle card fell into Shen Yue's hands again.

L.A. accurately picked up the card in Shen Yue's hand that was not the turtle card again.

Shen Yue noticed that L.A.'s other hand made a small upward movement, indicating that L.A. was thinking before picking up the card rather than just relying on intuition.

But L.A. determined the card in a very short time. The only possibility of judging which card to pick in such a short time was that L.A. had received information from a third party.

Shen Yue first thought of Danni La, because she had felt something was off about Danni La earlier.

But how was it done?

Her left was Si Chengyou, her right was Number 14. To be able to control both people's cards at the same time, and eventually only leave one's own, was not a simple matter.

L.A. threw the matched cards on the table and smiled at Shen Yue, "Too bad, it seems you weren't lucky this round either."

Shen Yue didn't hesitate this time. She grabbed some chips from Number 14 and threw them towards L.A., "Another round."

L.A. was somewhat surprised, but not that surprised.

Another round, they must be able to turn the tables, that was the mentality of all gamblers. They thought that as long as they kept playing, luck would favor them in one round and bring them glory.

But the truth was that it was all just fantasy.

L.A. looked at Number 14, "Still playing?"

Number 14 nodded, "Playing."

L.A. sighed, oh, so this was a man in love? Throwing money around like this was not how it should be spent.

L.A. indifferently told the dealer to deal again.

This round, he won again.

The loser was still Shen Yue.
