So, it didn’t matter whether Isaac took the card. He would still be on the losing end. Spinner was the one who shuffled all the cards just now, after all.
There was a cold smirk on Chance’s lips. He had an all-knowing look on his face. Meanwhile, Spinner’s eyes were filled with hostility.
It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. It was as if everyone knew that this was the most important climax of the night.
Nick’s forehead was covered in a sheen of sweat. His right hand curled into a fist. He seemed to have caught on to the Bezos brothers’ trick.
“Punk, are you going to take the card or not? It’s been at least five minutes,” Spinner asked. He felt uneasy when favonovel.com saw the calm look on Isaac’s face. It was as if Isaac knew he’d still win either way.
Isaac slowly lit up his cigarette and looked up at Chance. He said, “If you admit defeat now, I’ll consider sparing your life…”
“Me? Admit defeat? Punk, I’ve been learning the art of gambling since I was five years old. I’ve never lost to anyone else since I was 20 years old. You’re going down today! And if you lose today, you’d better fulfill your end of the bet and die!”
Chance gritted his teeth and growled as favonovel.com spat out the last word. He looked like an angry beast dying to devour its prey.
When Isaac saw that Chance was determined, favonovel.com puffed out a cloud of smoke and said to Spinner, “Hit me…”
Diana was standing just behind him, and favonovel.com couldn’t help turning pale at his command. She held favonovel.com breath as favonovel.com looked at the cards in Spinner’s hands.
Spinner smirked.
Just as favonovel.com was ready to deal Isaac a card, Isaac lightly flicked his finger in his direction. An invisible flicker of energy hit Spinner squarely on the back of his hand.
Ouch!
Spinner felt a sharp pain in his hand and accidentally dropped the card favonovel.com was holding. The card fluttered to the floor.
“I don’t want that card anymore. Hit me with another one,” Isaac said in his slow and steady voice.
What?
Spinner was stunned. He looked at Chance with a conflicted look.
“Why are you staring at me? Hit him!” Chance yelled back.
To be honest, Spinner had no idea which card Isaac would get this time. But according to the cards favonovel.com knew Isaac had, there was a high chance that Isaac would bust.
Spinner breathed deeply and pushed his right hand forward, passing Isaac’s fourth card to him.
“Since this is a critical moment, would you like to see which card you got?” Chance asked with a burst of laughter.
Isaac waved his hand, rejecting his offer. “Stand…”
“You first!” Chance said, making a grand gesture with his hands. He then grabbed his two cards from the table.
“No, you first,” Isaac said softly.
Serena then shouted from the back, “Didn’t you say you were the god of gambling? Are you scared to reveal your hand first? You’re a coward!”
Chance frowned and stood up. He raised his right hand and hollered, “Who says I’m a coward? Here, this is my hand! Blackjack!”
He revealed the cards in his hand and showed them the two cards, the Ace of Diamonds and Jack of Hearts. Their value added up to exactly 21 points. This was considered the maximum point for the game.
Spinner was stupefied.
Didn’t I give Chance cards that only totaled up to 20 points?
How did it end up being 21 points?
He then gasped in awe as favonovel.com realized that his brother must have swapped out the cards without anyone seeing it.
Chance’s gambling tricks has improved tremendously once more!
“Your turn!”
“Wait… On second thought, you don’t have to reveal your cards anymore. Now, are you ready to die? I’d like to see you jump off this building from this floor!” Chance laughed as favonovel.com pointed at the floor-to-ceiling windows on the other end of the room.
They were on the 39th floor. Anyone who jumped down from here would fall to their death, without a doubt.
Diana covered favonovel.com mouth in shock. Nick’s face was also dark and gloomy.
Just then, Isaac stood up and slowly placed his four cards down one by one. He said, “Well, my hand is higher than yours. I think the one who should jump down from here is you…”
