Tong Lapa's eyes narrowed in shock.
This hand of cards…
It was clearly in his hand, yet Bai Zihe, from several meters away, had managed to tamper with it without a sound.
It was simply unbelievable!
He stared at Bai Zihe, his eyes flashing with a sinister glint, like a venomous snake poised to strike its prey.
At this moment, Tong Lapa also realized.
This Bai Zihe was actually a master who had been hiding his strength, with formidable skills.
But…
This was his territory, and Bai Zihe's skills were useless here.
Since he had also cheated, any accusation from Bai Zihe would only lead to mutual destruction, making it unnecessary.
Moreover, there was still the third round.
He subtly signaled to a few of the burly men.
Then, with a smile hiding daggers, he said, "Young man, your luck is truly exceptional. I'm starting to suspect you."
Bai Zihe grinned, appearing harmless. "The feeling is mutual."
With his abilities…
It was too easy for him to tamper with these cards.
In fact, these people and some of the high-tech equipment in the venue wouldn't detect any anomalies or capture any footage.
But Bai Zihe disdained doing so.
In the previous round, it was because Tong Lapa had cheated that he had retaliated.
Just then, a "click" sounded from outside.
A cold smile played on Tong Lapa's lips. "Young man, come on. Let's see if your luck can continue to be this good."
His words carried a veiled threat.
The sound just now was the door being locked.
This was the top floor.
Once the door was locked, even if Bai Zihe won, he couldn't escape from here.
Unless…
He jumped out the window!
But from a height of sixty-six floors, jumping down would only result in a pulverized body.
"Deal the cards."
Bai Zihe acted as if he hadn't noticed, uttering two words.
The beautiful dealer dealt the cards again as instructed.
This time…
Tong Lapa slowly revealed a corner of four cards, which were the Ace of Spades, King of Spades, Queen of Spades, and Jack of Spades.
If the last card was the Ten of Spades, his hand would be invincible.
And changing the last card to the Ten of Spades…
This was undoubtedly a simple matter, something he could do with ease.
This time.
Tong Lapa was full of confidence.
"Young man…"
"You've lost this round!"
He declared, and then laid down the first four cards one by one on the table, leaving only the last one face down.
A flush of spades…
Chen Shuang'er felt a bad premonition.
Even though she didn't understand poker, she knew that with another Ten of Spades, it would be the highest possible hand, and her young master would have no chance.
Bai Zihe remained noncommittal. "It's too early to declare victory or defeat."
"Heh…"
Tong Lapa sneered dismissively, his smile chillingly sinister. "Isn't this hand already the best?"
As he spoke, he flipped over the last card.
Bai Zihe was stunned, and everyone else was stunned.
That card… was the Nine of Spades, not the Ten of Spades.
The hand was a flush, not a straight flush.
Though only a word difference, the hands were worlds apart, incomparable.
At the same time.
Bai Zihe turned over his own cards.
Nine of Hearts, Ten of Diamonds, Ten of Clubs, Ten of Hearts…
The last card, Ten of Spades.
"You lost."
Bai Zihe said calmly.
Tong Lapa had indeed managed to switch his Nine of Spades to a Ten of Spades at the last moment when revealing the cards, but Bai Zihe's methods were far superior; he had switched it back.
This was something Tong Lapa had never anticipated.
Bai Zihe stated unequivocally, "I've won three times. I don't want the one million USD chips each time. Give me the key."
"The key?"
Tong Lapa had already realized.
Bai Zihe's mastery of poker was indeed beyond his comprehension. Even when he had tampered with the cards twice, Bai Zihe had done so imperceptibly.
But this did not mean he conceded defeat.
"Kid, you probably don't know what kind of place this is. This is Yangon City, not Great Xia!"
"If I say you win, then you win!"
"This key…"
Tong Lapa sneered, "You can forget about it!"
"Not only that, but you have to leave your package behind. This is your death payment!"
As his words fell,
Eight burly men in the hall immediately stepped forward.
Each of them was over two meters tall, dressed in black suits and sunglasses, exuding an imposing aura. They were Tong Lapa's hired muscle.
This was an attempt to use force.
In fact.
Ever since he had brought Bai Zihe and the other person to the top floor, he had anticipated this possibility.
Chen Shuang'er immediately panicked.
It was one thing if she was trapped here, but if her young master was trapped here…
She would be unforgivable, deserving a thousand deaths!
"Tong Sang!"
"My friend here is new to the area and doesn't understand…"
Chen Shuang'er stepped forward to plead, but before she could finish, Tong Lapa slapped her hard across the face.
The immense force sent Chen Shuang'er stumbling, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"Tong Sang is not a name you can call me?"
He glanced at Chen Shuang'er, his eyes suddenly filled with lust. He reached out a hand towards her face, "If you want me to let you go, you can. Unless you…"
*Slap!*
Bai Zihe's slap interrupted him.
The force was so great that it twisted Tong Lapa's mouth, causing him to spit out blood that landed on the ground with a crisp sound.
Half of his teeth had been knocked out!
But it wasn't over yet.
The immense force sent him flying to the side, but Bai Zihe grabbed his hand and twisted it fiercely.
The hand was immediately twisted into a pretzel and hung limply.
It had been directly broken by Bai Zihe.
"Apologize."
Bai Zihe's eyes blazed with boundless fury, like the summer sun.
He placed a hand on Tong Lapa's shoulder, forcing him in front of Chen Shuang'er.
Having been slapped and having one hand disabled by Bai Zihe, Tong Lapa's heart was already burning with rage.
Being beaten on his own turf…
If this got out, Tong Lapa would have no place in Yangon City.
In his mind, Bai Zihe and Chen Shuang'er were already dead!
But he was currently restrained by Bai Zihe, and the situation was out of his control.
Tong Lapa's voice was incredibly cold, suppressing his boundless anger. "Kid, I admit, you do have the capital to be arrogant."
"However… I do not yield!"
"If you have the guts, then let me go now."
This was a clear provocation, a deliberate trap.
But Bai Zihe actually did as he was told.
He directly pushed Tong Lapa towards the burly men and said with overwhelming dominance, "What if I let you go?"
"I can capture you once, and I can capture you countless times."
"What can you do to me!"
