He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

Jackie sat at the other end of the table, with Miike Naeko standing behind her.

The dealer counted out 200 million chips and pushed them to Jackie.

Jackie has been playing card games for so long, but today she's finally at a real gambling table.

An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for a single moment.

She was so excited she couldn't express it; she couldn't wait any longer.

"This 200 million is your stake. If you lose it all, then this little puppy will be mine," the wealthy woman reminded her.

"Is that all I'm worth?" Shirakawa retorted.

"A person's value is generally impossible to estimate; it mainly depends on how much the other party is willing to gamble. If there are any objections to exchanging chips, the two parties can discuss it further," the dealer explained.

“Little brother, you are priceless in my heart, but you only need 200 million for the registration fee, so I’ll use 200 million to gamble. If you don’t want to play, you can find someone else…” the noblewoman said with a smile in her eyes.

"Play, let's play."

Several people have already come up on stage, and time is running out.

We must act quickly now.

"Ladies, what would you like to play?" the dealer asked.

“Let’s try three-card poker,” Jackie suggested, raising her hand.

What is this? It looks quite stylish.

Shirakawa took out his phone and went online to check.

......

Isn't this just Texas Hold'em?

Arrange the three cards in different combinations to get the best hand.

Three of a Kind (three cards of the same rank) > Straight Flush > Flush > Straight > Pair > High Card

Among them, 235 is a miscellaneous card that can beat a leopard, but this situation is almost non-existent.

If all the cards are random, then look at the highest card.

If both are pairs, then the pair with the larger number of pairs wins.

A is the largest, followed by K, Q, J...

And so on.

“Sure, I have no objection.” The lady sat in her chair with her legs crossed, calm and composed, seemingly confident.

Despite her playful and boisterous nature, Jackie, though seemingly impulsive, was actually quite shrewd. She knew that with her experience and knowledge, she was no match for this older woman.

So she abandoned those games that required strategy and card counting, and relied purely on luck to defeat her.

"Since you two both know the rules, I won't go into detail about them. May I ask what your ante is?"

An ante is the "entry fee" paid by players at the poker table for each round.

"10," the lady said.

"agree."

"Now everyone please get ready, I'll start dealing the cards after you've placed your ante."

The two of them each placed their initial bet of 10 chips.

The dealer deals the cards.

Jackie got a 10 of diamonds.

This hand is neither too big nor too small, it's alright.

Looking up at the lady again, she was expressionless, with a standard poker face.

You can't tell her emotions at all, nor can you deduce her hand from her expression.

Let's see how things go.

“Check,” Jackie said.

“Check,” the lady replied.

The dealer dealt the second card.

It is a plum blossom 9.

The hand consists of the 10 of diamonds and the 9 of clubs.

The flowers are different colors, so there's no way to gamble on a matching flower.

But if the next card is 8 and J, you can make a straight. If it's 10 and 9, you can also have a pretty big pair.

Jackie tried her best to control her facial expressions so that the woman wouldn't notice anything amiss.

The noblewoman pressed both cards down in her hand.

He counted a small stack of chips in his hand.

"I raised the bet to 20."

Did you get a good hand, a single high card or a pair?

20 isn't much; we can look into it further.

Gambling, gambling, it's all about the gamble.

“I’ll go with you,” Jackie replied.

The dealer dealt the third card.

The third card is the 7 of diamonds.

7, 9, 10, almost a straight, and not even the same suit, just a regular hand of mixed cards.

"I raise to 40!" The lady smiled slightly and continued to raise her bet.

"I fold."

A hand of miscellaneous cards has to be discarded.

Jackie threw the cards on the table.

The dealer used a small wooden shovel to push all 20 chips in front of Jackie's hand to the lady.

"Wow, a great start! Not bad at all." The lady smiled, seemingly mockingly, as she showed Jackie her hand.

2 for clubs, 4 for hearts, and 6 for spades.

They're not even close to each other; the highest card in this hand isn't even as high as Jackie's lowest card.

She succeeded in stealing the win using this terrible hand.

Jackie was somewhat annoyed.

Don't get angry; the most important thing when playing cards is to stay calm.

Jackie took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her anger.

After observing the normal game, Shirakawa quickly discovered Jackie's problem.

She was so afraid of losing that she kept thinking about it.

200 million is just a drop in the ocean for this wealthy woman; if she loses it, she loses it.

But Jieqi lost, and he was taken away without her having the means to redeem him.

Of course, she could go back to her own home to withdraw the money, but by the time she returned, she might have already been dragged away by this wealthy woman and locked in a dark room.

"I let you win this round, but you'll see next time," Jackie said through gritted teeth.

“Hey, don’t play the next round. You have 200 million in total, and you’ve already lost 20, which is one-tenth of your capital. I’ll use one-tenth of Shirakawa as my stake,” the lady said, her eyes roaming over Shirakawa’s body.

"Is this even possible?" Shirakawa questioned the croupier.

The dealer was also at a loss, as this situation had almost never occurred before, and there were no rules specifically explaining it.

The lady glared at him, her expression somewhat angry, as if threatening him, and threw the card with more force, almost slamming it onto the table.

This woman was a regular customer, and the dealer knew she was not someone to be trifled with, so he could only nod repeatedly: "That's right, according to the rules, this lady can use one-tenth of this young man's credit."

"Oh, little brother, come here, come here, let your big sister touch you." The noblewoman smiled broadly and beckoned Shirakawa over.

Having lost the bet, Shirakawa had no choice but to walk over to the noblewoman.

"Let me think, one-tenth..." the noblewoman muttered, looking Shirakawa up and down.

That must be a hand.

The most important part was to be enjoyed in one's own soft, big bed, after taking a bath, changing clothes, and preparing all sorts of props.

Save the best for last.

The lady pulled Shirakawa's wrist and placed his small white hand on her cheek, carefully feeling it.

"Not bad, not bad, quite fair and tender, quite comfortable."

The noblewoman suddenly twisted her wrist, turning Shirakawa's palm towards her face.
