"Did he tamper with the cards?" Chu Zihang asked sharply.

"This is inevitable. You don't need to think about it to know that with a bet of billions, the old man must guarantee his victory. He must be 100% sure. He must be a wise man with a thousand considerations and be absolutely sure." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "I think the dealer who has been following him has been studying this technique since he was a child. Vincent must have chosen the most talented child back then. The fact that she can appear at his private gambling table shows that this girl has mastered the art of cheating to perfection."

"So have you ever thought about what you would do if you lose this round?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

“If it really comes to the last step, I can only overturn the entire ‘yamal’ ship, because I knew from the beginning that if old guy Vincent loses, he has no intention of letting me leave this ship.” Chu Tianjiao suddenly smiled confidently, “But I will not lose this bet. Of course, old guy Vincent also thinks he will not lose. The winner takes all, and the loser eats dust.”

It looks like a gambling game, but in fact it is like the most primitive fight between wild beasts. Vincent is a cunning old fox. He has set a deadly trap in his territory, waiting for Chu Tianjiao to jump in. Chu Tianjiao is a brave and fearless lone wolf. He possesses extremely powerful ability and confidence, and can tear Vincent and all his conspiracies to pieces.

The two beasts even skipped the biting stage, they just wanted to swallow each other in one bite!
"Neither of us revealed our own hole cards. Although this was against the rules, we put all our chips on the table at once. It was obviously more interesting to start with the public cards, and we both agreed." Chu Tianjiao paused and said, "But before the dealer was about to reveal the first public card, I asked Vincent a question."

"What's the problem?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"I looked at the old guy and asked him sincerely if we needed to exchange our cards," said Chu Tianjiao.

Lu Mingfei was stunned, Chu Zihang frowned slightly, and Nuo Nuo lowered her head in thought. No one knew what Chu Tianjiao meant by this action.

"Do you think that the dealer dealt the bigger cards to Vincent's side?" Caesar asked Chu Tianjiao.

"No, on the contrary, the bigger cards must be on my side." Chu Tianjiao sighed and said, "I know better than anyone that the outcome of this game has been determined from the beginning, so I made this suggestion. Who would like to play a game where the outcome is already known? I asked Vincent this just to increase the excitement of the game, and I also gave him a chance, so that the old guy wouldn't lose everything in the end and get mad and throw a tantrum at me."

Chu Tianjiao's thoughts were really hard to figure out. He said he asked this question to increase the excitement of the game and give Vincent a chance, but what if Vincent really chose to swap? Or in another situation, if Chu Tianjiao was the final winner, and Chu Tianjiao gave Vincent a chance but he didn't take it, wouldn't the old man be more likely to get mad?
There is only one explanation. Chu Tianjiao's desire to win is no longer at the gambling table. His level has long surpassed this card game. Playing with money to win or lose is meaningless to Chu Tianjiao. What he finds interesting is playing with human nature.

"Vincent probably didn't agree, right?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"Yes, before that the old guy hesitated for a while, he kept staring at me, he was looking into my eyes, trying to catch the meaning of my action from my eyes, finally Vincent's eyes fell on the dealer, I saw him exchange glances with the dealer, they were very tacit, and the hesitation in Vincent's eyes was dispelled a lot." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Vincent asked me if I was so afraid of losing. If I was afraid of losing, I might as well accept his proposal and work on his ship for five years to pay off the 1 billion debt. I said you thought too much, I was afraid that you, old guy, would lose too badly and be forced to jump into the sea if you couldn't pay off the 10 billion. Anyway, I gave you the opportunity, it's up to you whether you want to seize it yourself."

"Vincent's patience seemed to have worn out. He rejected my proposal outright and told the dealer that we could start turning over the public cards." Chu Tianjiao said, "I shrugged my shoulders and could only say in my heart that this old guy was really ignorant and didn't know how to take advantage of the opportunity. I could imagine how he would cry and beat his chest when he lost the game."

"The first public card is 'Q', the Queen of Spades." Chu Tianjiao said.

"It's a very big card, and it can be combined in many ways." Chu Zihang nodded.

"The second card is a spade 'J', a very appropriate card. I can see that Vincent's sunken old eyes seem to be shining." Chu Tianjiao said, "The third card is a 'Q' again, a red 'Q' of hearts."

When Chu Tianjiao said this, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang exchanged glances silently, and they both smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"The fourth public card is 'J', a red heart 'J'." Chu Tianjiao was interrupted by Nuonuo when he said this.

"Wait a minute, this is too obvious, isn't it?" Nono frowned and said, "Four cards in a row, a pair of 'Q's, a pair of 'J's, how can there be such a coincidence? Is Vincent trying to take revenge on you with the 'Full House' you used to defeat him with before?"

"Not necessarily." Chu Tianjiao shrugged. "But the cards on the field are already big, two pairs. If the cards you have left are not bigger than the public cards, under the same size, wouldn't Vincent still be the winner? Vincent is the banker, and his cards are always bigger than the players'." Nono said, "It was so obvious that he was cheating, why didn't you expose him on the spot?"

"There is an unspoken rule in the casino that cheating is actually allowed, as long as it is done without anyone noticing, and it is either exposed on the spot or evidence is produced. This is someone else's territory, where would I get evidence?" Chu Tianjiao smiled at Nuo Nuo, "But don't worry, this is just a public card, don't we still have our own cards? They have their methods, I have mine, and I am confident in my own cards."

"Before the fifth community card was revealed, Vincent interrupted the dealer and suggested that he and I show our hole cards first. I had no objection." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent revealed his two hole cards, a spade 'A' and a spade 'K'. I also revealed mine, a heart 'A' and a heart 'K'."

Exactly the same cards, and this time the result once again surprised everyone.

"Not 'Full House'." Chu Zihang whispered, "Vincent wants 'Royal Flush'."

A Royal Flush is the biggest and most powerful card in Texas Hold'em. It consists of the largest straight of the same suit. The probability of encountering it in a normal card cut and deal is extremely rare.

It turns out that this is Vincent's ambition. His desire for revenge is even stronger than imagined. This is the final round. He does not want to use "Full House" to beat Chu Tianjiao, but wants to use the invincible "Royal Flush" in Texas Hold'em to win this great but not glorious victory.

Everything depends on the last public card, which determines who will get the final prize of the 10 billion gambling money. If the last public card is the "" of spades, Vincent will lock in the victory of the final round. His hand and the public cards will form a "royal flush" of spades, and Chu Tianjiao will absolutely have no chance of turning the tables.

And it doesn't matter even if the dealer makes a mistake this time, because except for the suit, Vincent's hand is exactly the same as Chu Tianjiao's. As long as the last public card is a card other than hearts, Vincent can perfectly lock in the victory of this game... Under the watchful eyes of gamblers, it may be a little difficult to accurately cut the spade "10" to a certain card, but to ensure that the next card is not a heart is too easy. Not to mention the dealers who have been trained in cheating since childhood, even the apprentice dealers in ordinary casinos can do it easily.

"'You know, spades are my favorite suit because it's the largest of the four suits. It's an upside-down black heart. What a charming design.'... Vincent told me this in an almost perverted tone, holding his trump card in his hand." Chu Tianjiao imitated the old man's perverted tone perfectly. "I said I don't feel anything for it. In comparison, I think the heart is better because it looks alive and beating."

"Vincent scoffed at what I said, because he likes things that come first, but hearts are only second in the suits of card games, and he doesn't like fresh things. I think it's because of jealousy, because he is a decadent old guy." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent stared at me and asked if he thought the last card would be '10' of spades or '10' of hearts. I pretended to be surprised and asked the old guy how he could be so sure that the last card must be '10'. The old guy waved his hands impatiently and said that there was no need for anyone to continue the show at this point. He just asked the dealer to tamper with the cards. He was cheating, but I had no evidence and no one would know. The guests on the deck could only know the direction of the game through the big screen. Apart from that, they had no idea what happened in this room. I was sure to lose this bet, and he would not let me leave this ship."

"But what the old man doesn't know is that I have seen through their tricks. During this round of the dealer shuffling the cards, she secretly shuffled nine cards and covered the top of the deck with new nine cards, and then repeatedly 'fake shuffled'." Chu Tianjiao said, "This is not a very advanced skill, but her advantage is that her method is concealed and her hand speed is very fast, faster than the world's top magicians, so it is almost impossible for ordinary people to detect it. Even if she is caught on the spot, she has many ways to get away with it."

"Those nine cards are the four hole cards of you and Vincent, and the five community cards on the table." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "So under Vincent's instruction and the dealer's manipulation, the last card must be the '10' of spades. This should be their usual tactic. If it weren't for you and Vincent breaking the rules and showing your hole cards first, other gamblers would not have known Vincent's hole cards. Because of the gambler's psychology, they thought their cards were infinitely close to the 'Royal Flush', so they took a gamble in the last round, placed an unprecedented bet, and then lost miserably."

"Yes, their methods are very common, even old-fashioned, but they are perfectly in line with human nature." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "And they won't give anyone the opportunity to expose their scam. I guess those who have entered Vincent's room have all lost everything. When people are hit hard and extremely angry, they will do some violent actions beyond common sense. This just gives Vincent a reason to get rid of them. The eleventh floor of this ship is like an attractive snake nest. Its exterior is decorated with countless gold, silver and wealth. When you are attracted by its glitz and go deeper step by step, you are also entangled by the snakes little by little. When you come to your senses, you are no longer able to break free or resist. That will be the moment you bury the snake mouth."

"That's a very apt description." Chu Zihang nodded. He looked at Chu Tianjiao and said meaningfully, "But even the largest python in the world has something it can't swallow."

"Yes, no matter how cunning and vicious Vincent is, there are always people in this world that he cannot calculate." Chu Tianjiao said with his back against the wall, "The dealer turned over the last card, and everyone was silent. The room was shrouded in deathly silence. As the number and suit of the card were projected on the big screen outside, the silence outside the boat became terrifying. I could even hear the ethereal singing of whales in the distant sea. Other than that, there was only the increasingly heavy breathing and heartbeat."

"The rapid breathing and heartbeats come from Vincent, because he is frightened." Chu Tianjiao produced a gold-plated card from nowhere, and after turning it over a few times with his fingertips, the card fell in front of everyone, "The dealer turned over the last public card, which is a red heart '2'."

The red heart "2", everyone in the room stared at the thin, old card... It was the smallest card in Texas Hold'em, but surprisingly, there was a vivid, beating red heart printed on the corner of it.

The last card was not the "10" of spades, but the "2" of hearts. From beginning to end, no one could make a "royal flush"... How ironic, Chu Tianjiao used the smallest and most inconspicuous red "2" to play a trick on Vincent, the old fox.

"You don't know how lively it was. It was the loudest cheer I've ever heard in my life. The entire ship, from the first floor to the tenth floor, everyone was cheering, men and women, even the waiters in the casino were cheering. They were Vincent's men, but no one cared that their captain lost 1 billion in one breath." Chu Tianjiao said with a smile, "The huge electronic screen was broadcasting colorful fireworks, and they landed on the side that symbolizes me."
