Chapter 535: Fully Confident (Part One)
Xu Cheng saw how they still wanted to quarrel and was too lazy to continue with them. He waved his hand and said, “Whatever, I will just do Haber a favor by not continuing the beef and killing the fun. If you guys want to play, then wait until the ship’s in international waters, and we will have some fun, how about that?”
That Blackwater bodyguard sneered, “Sounds good.”
Young Master Lee glanced at Xu Cheng from the corner of his eyes with contempt and said, “I’ll remember you now.”
After that, Xu Cheng didn’t bother with talking to this Young Master Lee anymore and just leaned on Haber’s chair and watched them play.
Haber exchanged for 500 million in chips. The five people at this table were all worth more than 10 billion, so 500 million was a figure that everyone was comfortable playing with.
Xu Cheng could see all the cards on the table, not just Haber’s.
Haber wasn’t that good, and he was playing very casually. After all, in comparison to that Young Master Lee, his greed for money wasn’t as visible. That Young Master Lee purely came tonight to win money from the others, or he wouldn’t have come here just to gamble instead of going to other normal casinos.
From the way Young Master Lee seriously shuffled his own cards and the amount he was placing, Xu Cheng could tell that he was a very emotional man.
And Xu Cheng loved it.
In one round, everyone else had folded, and all that were left were Haber and Young Master Lee. Haber’s hand actually wasn’t too good, just a pair of Aces, but the biggest combo in Young Master Lee’s hand was also a pair of Aces. Luckily, Haber got the Ace of Spades.
Although this combination wasn’t considered big, it also wasn’t small and people could be willing to give it a gamble since it still had a considerably high chance of winning.
When there were a lot of people playing the round, it would be very difficult for straights, same suits, triplets, and others to appear. So, with a big pair of doubles, it was pretty decent.
Young Master Lee knew how to play the psychological battle more than Haber, and with the pair of Aces in his hand, Haber began feeling that Young Master Lee had a bigger hand, at least a triplet or something. So, when the other people folded, he was also beginning to think about folding.
Young Master Lee asked, “Mr. Haber, are you following?”
Haber hesitated briefly and was about to fold. At that moment, Xu Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, “What are you scared of?”
Haber showed Xu Cheng his hand. “You think I should continue?”
“Yeah.” Xu Cheng took a sip of his wine. “We are playing for fun, aren’t we?”
Haber laughed. “Yeah, then we will just keep on playing for fun.”
Xu Cheng: “What’s so fun about adding one million at once? Just toss five million in to calm our tits.”
After all, Haber brought Xu Cheng onboard to entertain him, and after getting the medicine, Haber couldn’t be happier. Five million? Piece of cake. He just pushed the chips into the center casually.
Just now, Young Master Lee saw very clearly how Haber was about to fold. He knew Haber’s hand must not be very good, or he wouldn’t have had the intent to fold that early. This time, he was just cheered into putting up a bigger bet. Although he looked like he was very casual and confident, it was in fact a bluff. Young Master Lee thought he was too much of a pro and would definitely not be fooled by this kind of little trick.
“Normally, it’s very difficult for them to get Mr. Haber to come out and play. Since Mr. Haber’s here today, then we will definitely have some fun together. I follow, ten million.”
Haber thought about it, and he still didn’t want to just throw free money at Young Master Lee and immediately began to think about folding again.
Xu Cheng dragged him back again and said, “It’s not fun to give up this easily. We gamble for the adrenaline rush, right? If it’s not exciting, then why are we still gambling? Just look at yourself, you are already loaded in cash and wake up in a pile of gold and drive around in gold, what’s fun about that? Try to have some fun, be a bit more capricious.”

Haber’s eyelids jumped. “How can I be more capricious?”
Xu Cheng just pushed some chips into the middle for him. “50 million!”
Haber’s eyelids jumped again. “Oh sh-t, we doing this for real?”
Xu Cheng said, “Don’t worry, I promise you, that coward won’t even follow, because his hand is even worse than yours.”
Young Master Lee obviously became discontent hearing that.
But 50 million... it wasn’t a small amount to him.
But in other words, if he won, that would be 50 million for him! It would indeed be a considerable amount of profit. It could basically cover all the expenses on this trip to Dubai and let him experience top-line luxuries basically for free.
“Mr. Haber, since when do you have to listen to another person’s orders when playing cards?” Young Master Lee smiled and then looked over at Xu Cheng and said, “Brat, have you ever been to the casino before? Have you played before? You even dare to teach other people?”
“I can still beat you even if I don’t know how to play.” Xu Cheng smiled. “If you want to follow then follow, what’s with the nonsense? This isn’t a Poker tournament, there are no cameras rolling to document your card-playing and acting skills. If you want to play then just continue, or else just fold.”
“You!” Young Master Lee was again infuriated by how the man was disrespecting him. He pushed a pile of chips in right away. “50 million, I will toy you to death today.”
Right after he did that, Xu Cheng directly pushed another pile worth 50 million forward. “Follow.”
Seeing how Xu Cheng didn’t even show any signs before suddenly pushing in another 50 million, Young Master Lee was a bit dumbfounded seeing how arrogant he was.
Xu Cheng laughed and said to Haber, “Damnn, I’ve finally experienced what it’s like to be filthy rich. That kind of feeling, just tossing money over without a second word, awesome!”
Haber bitterly smiled. “Bro, you had your fun, but you are facking using my money...”
“Don’t worry, to thank you for bringing me tonight, I will give you compensation.” Xu Cheng faintly smiled. He looked over at the Young Master Lee and said, “If you aren’t following just fold; stop contemplating life over there, no one has the patience to wait for you. Tonight, I will guarantee the rest of your night is a tragedy.”
Young Master Lee immediately pushed in 100 million and said, “Reveal. I don’t want to win more of Mr. Haber’s money, I will let you off the hook this time.”
Then, he flipped over his pair of Aces.
Xu Cheng patted Haber on the shoulder and smiled and said, “You can take your money now. I won’t troll you, don’t worry.”
Seeing the win by a narrow margin, and how the win was worth 150 million for him, he immediately laughed, flipped over his hand, and reached out to grab those chips.
“I did forget that I heard you won 3 billion from Las Vegas not long ago, that was you right?” Haber began squinting his eyes and making all kinds of expressions as he said to Xu Cheng.
“Low-key, low-key.” Xu Cheng patted him on the shoulder.
Right now was not his time to reel in the rod. Young Master Lee hasn’t gotten emotional yet. When he loses enough, he would want to win all the money back, and that’s when he would lose his mind. What was the textbook example of how not to gamble? Xu Cheng would make him into the perfect example tonight as he slowly toyed him into poverty.
After losing that money, Young Master Lee’s heart ached. But, he then carefully checked out Xu Cheng and said to the casino staff, “Please check this man to see if he has any cheating devices.”
The staff came over, and Haber immediately angrily said, “What is the meaning of this? He’s my friend!”
Young Master Lee: “Mr. Haber, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but we’ve never seen this man before, so we should follow the protocol.”
Xu Cheng smiled. “No worries, you guys can check.”
Then, with the detector, the staff searched and scanned Xu Cheng’s whole body, including his irises and ears, and everything checked out. Even his phone and wallet were checked.
“No problem, Mr. Lee,” the staff nodded at Young Master Lee and said.
Young Master Lee nodded. “Alright, then let’s continue.”
