"Not bad, six isn't too high!"
The moment Kang Muru saw the dealer's card, he couldn't help but smile.
Seeing this, the slick-haired man immediately sneered, "A toad yawning, what a big mouth!"
"You haven't even seen your cards, where's all this confidence coming from!?"
Hearing this, Kang Muru ignored the slick-haired man and reached out to touch his cards, slowly fanning them out.
The moment the first card's value was revealed, Kang Muru's face sank.
Once fully revealed, a prominent face card appeared.
Face cards represented zero points.
Seeing Kang Muru's displeased expression, his female companion quickly tried to comfort him, "It's okay! If the second card is an 8 or a 9, you win."
Hearing this, Kang Muru feigned indifference and chuckled, "Heh, it's fine!"
"Consider it a good deed if I lose!"
Despite his words, a flicker of nervousness crossed Kang Muru's face as he bet on the second card.
And in the next second, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Damn it! Why is it a card that's neither high nor low?"
The moment he finished speaking, Kang Muru slammed the unremarkable diamond 5 onto the table.
A score of 5 meant he had to bet on the next card.
The only winning cards were a 3 or a 4.
This sudden and conspicuous diamond 5 instantly plummeted Kang Muru's chances of winning as the player.
And then, the mandatory card the dealer drew made him furious enough to split his sides.
A completely useless club 10.
Kang Muru, who had doubled his bet on the player and revealed his cards, lost the first round by a single point.
To outsiders who didn't understand, it looked like Kang Muru was just unlucky and didn't seize the opportunity.
However, Kang Muru wasn't just unlucky.
He likely had an inkling of this.
It was just that he wasn't entirely sure.
This was because the baccarat table used eight decks of cards.
Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, Kang Muru stopped dwelling on whether he was unlucky or had been set up by the dealer from the start.
He decided to continue playing at this table until he reached the reward threshold, then take the woman upstairs to the lounge for some intimate activities.
As for winning back his losses… that would have to wait for another day!
In fact, if Kang Muru had chosen to withdraw at this point, his losses for the night, including the previous round, would have been capped at ten thousand.
But to get the woman within his reach, Kang Muru chose to stay.
Although he had secretly resolved to ignore any further provocations from the slick-haired man, he knew…
The pawns I've placed in this game are not just those two professional gamblers!
Kang Muru's female companion… is also my person!
As long as he continues to sit at this gambling table, I can use that woman to collude with the slick-haired man and force him to escalate his bets bit by bit.
Because this woman is none other than Xu Peiyu, who was clamoring earlier for me to help her make a lot of money!
Everyone has already witnessed how sharp Xu Peiyu's tongue can be, so there's no need to elaborate further.
To persuade Xu Peiyu to cooperate with me in setting up this "fish-killing" scheme, I gave her a five-thousand-yuan fee for her troubles, plus reimbursement for her casino chip expenses from last night, totaling a hundred thousand yuan!
In other words, the "fish-killing" scheme I set up for Kang Muru cost me a total of three hundred thousand yuan!
If this guy didn't have the backing of the Ying family, I wouldn't have needed to spend a single yuan to finish him!
But to avoid unnecessary trouble, I chose the most foolproof method to set up the game.
After all, I never intended to win money from Kang Muru, so… he was bound to lose!
And he would lose miserably!
…
After winning ten thousand yuan on the banker, the slick-haired man received chips worth 19,500 yuan after deducting the 5% commission.
The moment he got the chips, without even looking at them, the slick-haired man threw two 2,000-yuan chips and one 500-yuan chip towards Xu Peiyu, saying with a lecherous grin, "Beautiful, would you mind sitting here and giving me a blow job? Hehehe…"
Throughout this entire exchange, Xu Peiyu, who was sitting next to Kang Muru, said nothing and did nothing, yet she received nearly ten thousand yuan in chips from the slick-haired man.
Isn't this much better than sitting beside Kang Muru and watching him throw chips around to show off?
After all, what you can get your hands on and put in your mouth is truly yours.
In an instant, a look of interest appeared on Xu Peiyu's face.
Seeing this, Kang Muru was so enraged that he cursed inwardly.
Losing money was a small matter; he could always come back another time.
But if he were to hand over such a voluptuous beauty like this, who knew if he would ever have another chance to encounter her again.
With this thought, after taking a deep breath, Kang Muru picked up a ten-thousand-yuan chip and placed it directly into Xu Peiyu's hand.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of looking at my cards!"
After speaking, Kang Muru provocatively raised his eyebrows at the slick-haired man.
He thought that by spending ten thousand yuan in chips, he could completely win over Xu Peiyu and keep her by his side.
Little did he know, this was a "fish-killing" scheme that I had orchestrated with thirty thousand cash, aimed at slaughtering him, the big fish.
Once caught in the net, there was no possibility of escape!
Competing for the right to see cards and for the woman both required paying a corresponding price! It was only fair and reasonable, no problem!
Thus, under the combined encirclement of the slick-haired man, his companion, and Xu Peiyu, the chips in front of Kang Muru began to dwindle at a visible rate.
Soon, all the chips in front of Kang Muru were lost, and he even took out his bank card, asking the waiter to swipe it for more chips.
Before losing all his chips, Kang Muru had a brief moment of hesitation and suspicion, wondering if this was a setup by the casino.
But the moment Xu Peiyu presented her chips to him, Kang Muru's suspicion vanished completely!
As a regular at this casino, Kang Muru was well aware of the tactics of the female hostesses.
Once chips were in their pockets, there was absolutely no possibility of them being returned untouched!
Moreover, the chips Xu Peiyu gave him included those previously given by the slick-haired man.
Therefore, Kang Muru naturally assumed that it was his personal charm that had moved Xu Peiyu.
Since she didn't want him to lose, he had to win!!!
Little did he know, this was exactly the effect I desired!
…
Two hours later.
"Son of a bitch, what kind of cards are you dealing me today!"
Kang Muru roared angrily at the dealer after slamming his cards onto the table.
Hearing this, the dealer remained unfazed and casually replied.
"Mr. Kang, may I ask… do you have any more money?"
At these words, Kang Muru instinctively looked down.
And upon seeing, his face turned ashen with fear.
"No, no more money…"
Two years of hard work, back to square one in one night!
