Since the opponent dared to open with such a large gambling game, they wanted to temper Ling Zhenfei's sharpness. Although Ling Zhenfei still had more than six hundred thousand in chips, if he were careless and lost a game, that would be the end of his play.

"Don't worry, I have it under control."

While Jiang Hao was incredibly shocked, Ling Zhenfei merely gave a casual smile, waving his hand to signal him not to be tense.

After calming Jiang Hao down, Ling Zhenfei cast a disdainful smile towards Fengzi and said, "Alright, since Brother Feng you are so enthusiastic, I might as well play along!"

Ah!

Facing Ling Zhenfei's challenge, everyone, including Fengzi, was greatly surprised.

Fengzi stared at Ling Zhenfei with a stunned look for a few seconds, dumbfounded for a while, then grimaced and snapped his fingers at the croupier to signal the deal.

Showdown is a very interesting card game and holds a high status in card games worldwide.

The specific rules are: the game is determined by the arrangement, rank, and suit of five cards.

At the start of the game, each competitor is dealt one hole card that remains face down.

After the second card is dealt, the player with the higher card decides the stake, and the opponent has the right to "call," "raise," or "fold."

After five cards are dealt, all players reveal all hole cards to compare the ranks of the cards.

The croupier shuffled the cards swiftly and then started dealing one hole card each to Ling Zhenfei and to Fengzi in a blind draw.

The hole cards were placed face down on the table and could not be touched; although the gamblers crowded around and craned their necks to see, they didn't know what each person's hole card was, so they could only fret from the sidelines.

The croupier continued dealing cards, and when everyone saw that Fengzi's card was an Ace of Spades, while Ling Zhenfei's was merely a Diamond King, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

In Showdown, the ace is the highest, and spades rank higher than diamonds; Fengzi had drawn an Ace of Spades, and even without considering the hole card, he held a significant advantage just in terms of momentum.

"Hehe, sorry, Brother Ling, my card beats yours, so I'll lead."

Just now, Ling Zhenfei fearlessly confronted Brother Feng's provocation, which Fengzi felt had embarrassed him in front of others. Now that he finally found a chance to suppress Ling Zhenfei, why would Fengzi let it slip?

At that moment, he confidently pushed out one hundred thousand of his chips and said, "One hundred thousand! I wonder if Brother Ling dares to follow?"

"Hehe, it's only a mere hundred thousand, why wouldn't I? I'm in!" Ling Zhenfei didn't even think before he also pushed out one hundred thousand, his face full of disdain.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's bold move, simply throwing out one hundred thousand without even looking at his hole card, the gamblers around him began to see him in a new light.

"Hmph!"

Fengzi intended to suppress Ling Zhenfei's arrogant momentum, but instead found himself suppressed, which instantly angered him. His face's trademark scar even twitched a few times, and he snorted coldly, giving the croupier a look.

The croupier, understanding, continued to deal cards.

This time, when everyone saw the cards dealt in front of the two men, they couldn't help but gasp again.

It turned out, Fengzi was dealt a Heart Ace, while Ling Zhenfei received a Diamond 10.

According to the rules of Showdown, Fengzi held the highest pair with two aces.

While Ling Zhenfei held a flush, his current hand appeared temporarily superior to Fengzi's; however, a random high card could instantly break his lead.

Therefore, usually a hand like his was the least favored by the crowd.

This time, Fengzi was the one calling the cards. His finger tapped on the pair of Aces on the table, his face full of smugness. He threw in another hundred thousand chips and sneered, "Brother Ling, it seems that your situation isn't too good! I wonder if you dare to follow?"

Under normal circumstances, a skilled gambler, when holding a pair, especially a strong pair like a pair of Aces, would not easily make a call to bet.

Because once they made that call, most opponents would be too fearful to follow. After all, no one dared to risk so much against a pair of Aces recklessly.

Fengzi was a clever gambler, so he naturally understood the psychology of these gamblers.

But his ostentatious calling was not solely about winning money; it was about crushing Ling Zhenfei's spirit. The young man was too arrogant—if they didn't quash his show of strength, who would dare to come to their casino in the future?

"Heh, just a pair of Aces, what's there not to dare? I'll follow!"

Facing Fengzi's deliberate provocation, how could Ling Zhenfei not see through it? Right after his opponent finished speaking, he sneered and pushed out his hundred thousand bet.

Not only that, amid the astonished gasps of the crowd, he pushed out another hundred thousand chips and sneered, "Brother Feng, I dare to follow and even... raise another hundred thousand. I wonder if you dare?"

Ah!

Originally, Fengzi's unconventional method of calling had already surprised the spectators.

Now, Ling Zhenfei's reaction was even more shocking to everyone, making them unable to believe their eyes and ears.

My God, what kind of bizarre game were these two playing? One knew he had the upper hand yet attacked forcefully, while the other, clearly at a disadvantage, resisted fiercely...

It seemed that this game could be considered the most thrilling one they had ever witnessed!

"Young Master Ling!"

After a brief shock, Jiang Hao came to his senses and was just about to advise Ling Zhenfei when Ling Zhenfei glanced at him, signaling him to keep quiet.

"Hahaha... Very good, Brother Ling, you are so bold. Brother has to keep you company to the end then!"

Fengzi dared to place such a large bet to provoke Ling Zhenfei into following.

Now, seeing Ling Tuofei not only take the bait but also increase the bet fiercely like he was competing, Fengzi burst into a triumphant laugh and pushed out his hundred thousand bet without hesitation.

In less than a few minutes of conflict, each had already bet three hundred thousand. If either party gave up on the next card, they would instantly lose three hundred thousand!

For a moment, the entire place was silent; everyone held their breath, waiting for the third card to be dealt.

The croupier continued dealing, and when everyone saw the cards dealt to both individuals, the whole scene was stirred up.

To everyone's amazement, Ling Zhenfei received a Diamond Queen, while Fengzi had a startling Diamond Ace in front of him.

Now, the trend of the cards laid out in front of both players was already quite apparent.

The three upcards in Ling Zhenfei's hand were the Diamond 10, Queen, and King, with the bottom card unknown. Although it was still a flush, if the fourth card or bottom card didn't match, he would lose everything.

In contrast, Fengzi had three Aces. Regardless of what the fourth card or bottom card was, he had already won half.

Seeing such an absurd hand, the surrounding gamblers all had expressions of excitement, starting animated discussions. They looked as enthusiastic as if they were the ones involved in the gambling.

"So, how about it, Brother Ling? I'm betting three hundred thousand this round; do you still dare to follow?"
