Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1188 - Chapter 1188 Chapter 365 【Black Demon】_2

Chapter 1188: Chapter 365 [(Black Demon)] _2 Chapter 1188: Chapter 365 [(Black Demon)] _2 At the sight, the Old Fox and all the onlookers wore expressions of utter astonishment.

They were all aware of the thief [Space Larceny]’s unique skill, his artistry with the Space Law which, if he truly wished to pilfer cards, nobody could stop him.

However, what was going on right now?

Leonard Churchill looked on, his expression not changing in the slightest, as he mocked lightly, “Oh, it seems your fingers didn’t quite catch it just now.”

The middle finger was broken just a moment ago, and now it was the index finger, blatantly spouting nonsense.

But with just that one sentence,

The thief, clutching his severed finger, didn’t dare to retort.

Only he himself knew that when he was stealing the card just now, he was suppressed by a stronger Space Law.

Out of the corner of his eye, he instinctively glanced at Sophia Jones and thought to himself: This woman is also proficient in Space Law?

Everyone was thinking the same thing.

Silence hung heavy over the card table.

Because they knew that if someone could interrupt [Space Larceny]’s card-thieving, it also meant that he could steal cards himself.

Kestrel looked on, his expression turning awkward; he had thought his victory was assured, but now it seemed twists and turns were on the horizon.

Not only that, but the peddler who had placed a heavy bet, along with other onlookers, unconsciously shifted their glances towards the Old Fox.

The Old Fox evidently hadn’t expected this either and was subtly worried.

Leonard Churchill took in the expressions of all these people as well.

But was the Old Fox truly worried?

He didn’t think so.

This old timer was still setting traps.

Leonard Churchill urged, “The cards, then?”

Upon hearing this, the thief had no choice but to turn over his card.

A Club Eight, plus the Diamond Two from the hole card, made ten points, which indeed was a zero.

It was a certain loss.

The thief’s face turned ashen.

Cheating dishes out bad luck, an adage known well in the casino.

His card-stealing had failed, and relying on his own luck, he could only nab that Club Eight.

…

Leonard Churchill didn’t expose the thief’s cheating, but turned instead to Scarface, “It’s your turn, sir.”

He was the last idle player, the one whom the Old Fox and the peddler had heavily bet on.

As long as this player won, Leonard Churchill’s hand would still go bust.

Scarface, looking at Leonard Churchill with a sinister smile mirroring that of the Clown illusion behind him, suddenly lost his nerve.

After glancing again at the Old Fox who had remained silent, he finally reached out to flip over his card.

A Diamond Four, coupled with the earlier Spades Four from the hole card, a Set!

“Hahaha! A Set! A Set!”

As he revealed his hand, Scarface burst into a wild laugh.

The peddler and other individual bettors at his side, including Rita, breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant that Leonard Churchill could only win this hand with another Set.

An Ace of Hunting Grounds counted as one point, the smallest in points, but within Sets, a pair of Aces was the largest.

Meaning, Leonard Churchill could only win if he had the other three Aces.

Without cheating, the likelihood of that happening was extremely low.

That’s what was on everyone’s minds.

The moment Scarface revealed his card, all eyes in the carriage settled on Leonard Churchill.

Hundreds of eyes were watching him,

And it wasn’t just their gazes, but all manner of perception-based immortal techniques and spells.

If there was the slightest anomaly, they wouldn’t escape the scrutiny of the Immortal Aegis Animals.

“Tsk, tsk…”

Leonard Churchill looked on with a soft chuckle.

The only thing noticeable about him was how he fondled the seductive Fox Lady’s smooth peach by his side.

“If the game was won by cheating, that would be far too boring, don’t you think?”

Leonard Churchill’s words seemed to mock everyone on the train.

No one dared to respond.

Even with Ivan’s help, he had never intended to cheat.

As he said, if the game was won by cheating, such a life-risking round would be utterly dull.

Moreover, he may not have seen through much of the game, but he knew he was within “certain rules.”

When gambling with one’s life, one must not harbor any hope for fluke.

Leonard Churchill had already deduced countless outcomes in his head.

In the end, he had envisioned only one scenario: a trap was set, just waiting for the rabbit to leap into it.

He felt that if he cheated, he would certainly be caught, or else he might trigger some rules of the game.

…

After that unnerving cackle, the sarcasm in Leonard Churchill’s eyes blazed as if a great fire, roaring at its peak.

Those eyes eagerly waiting to catch his flaw had become utterly ridiculous at this moment.

Gradually, those people realized they dared not directly face that mocking gaze.

As if seeing it would cause their own confidence and luck to be siphoned away by some irresistible force in an instant.

In the silent carriage, travelers could only fix their eyes on the poker card still face down on the table.

Now, this was a Schrodinger’s card.

The card laid on top of the hole card, appearing to have already settled which one it was.

But in reality, until the card was revealed, no one could be certain of the face of the hidden card.

Among the Immortal Aegis Animals were those capable of seeing a person’s luck.

At that very moment, they were astonished to find Leonard Churchill’s fortune soaring high above the others to an utterly dominating extent.

The Old Fox also could not hide his amazement at that moment: How could this be?

Sophia Jones’ face also showed unprecedented gravity.

Only now did she realize the bizarre rules of this game!

Those guys had originally come for her, and if Leonard Churchill were to lose, she wasn’t sure she could save him!

However, even without looking, that overwhelming surge of luck left Sophia Jones utterly amazed: How could his luck suddenly skyrocket after being hit with the curse?

Leonard Churchill touched his own card with one hand, pinching a corner, slowly about to turn it over.

Gambling with life…

Lose, and it meant death.

Truly thrilling…

Within that intense gaze, there was no fear, only hysterical excitement, burning as fiercely as a flame.
