Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1910: Chapter 1813: Alden

Huo Sining didn’t bother with how the Clayflo team checked things, she hadn’t touched the contents of that box after she got it back.

Being the big boss of JK, Clayflo is certainly more particular about the rules than others. Without any reminders, after verifying that the contents of the box were indeed the genuine items Semiya had lost earlier, Clayflo smiled slightly and immediately ordered someone to bring out an agreement.

After reviewing the agreement, Huo Sining confirmed there were no issues and signed straight away.

Seeing Huo Sining act so readily, Clayflo raised an eyebrow: “Looks like Miss Huo already guessed what those two key items are.”

Huo Sining looked up at Clayflo, her gaze carrying an unmistakable meaning: Isn’t that obvious? If I didn’t know what those two items were, would I agree to this outrageous wager?

Calmly sitting at the poker table, Huo Sining silently watched Alden across from her.

The casino used very wide poker tables, with a distance of up to five meters at both ends, but Semiya’s table was less than three meters, so when Huo Sining sat down, she immediately felt the compelling aura emanating from Alden across the table.

Huo Sining obviously knew that Alden was doing this deliberately, releasing a threatening atmosphere to intimidate his opponent.

This tactic, killing without a trace, often scared opponents away before the game even began. Alden had used this tactic many times back in Las Vegas, but what he didn’t expect was that this time, it didn’t work.

He originally thought it was just a weak Huaxia woman who would lose her composure once he applied some pressure, but he miscalculated.

No matter how intense his aura was, the woman facing him maintained a calm demeanor, even casually joked with several companions beside her, using a teasing tone to ask, “With two Gambling Kings at the table, shouldn’t there be some atmospheric BGM and lighting according to the movie rules? Why are we just sitting here? Doesn’t it feel weird?”

This remark amused those who accompanied Huo Sining but also astonished Alden across the table.

It seemed that this Huaxia woman was not as easy to handle as he had thought.

Alden secretly reminded himself to be cautious.

Huo Sining then looked up at Clayflo: “Mr. Duke, may I ask what we’re playing?”

Clayflo had seen recordings of Huo Sining and Windsor Caesar tossing dice, and also inquired about scenarios when Semiya and Huo Sining rolled dice to guess the points, so he was very clear that this woman was exceptionally skilled at dice.

Hence, he decided to avoid the category that the woman excelled at, smiled, and said to Huo Sining: “Dice lack technical essence, gets boring after playing too much, how about we play poker?”

Before joining the WGC, Huo Sining had received crash training in poker by the Song Siblings, so she wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with this category.

The rules of poker are actually quite simple: the croupier deals five cards to each player, and they compare the value of each hand.

If the five cards form a consecutive royal flush, the highest is a royal flush starting with Ace, and if the opponent also has a royal flush starting with Ace, then it’s compared by suit, with spades as the largest and diamonds as the smallest.

Below the flush is four of a kind, which involves four cards of the same number plus one random card; in this case, it’s naturally compared by the number, also with Ace being the largest.

Next is a full house, consisting of three of a kind plus a pair, comparing the size of the three of a kind.

Going further down is a flush, which is five cards with the same suit but not forming a straight; and a straight, which is five consecutive cards not of the same suit.

Three of a kind consists of three cards of the same rank, with the remaining two cards being random, three of a kind starting with Ace is the largest; two pair; within the five cards having two pairs, similarly starting with Ace is the largest.

Aside from these, it’s down to one pair and random cards, the rules are not difficult, and for Huo Sining, as long as she could see through, it didn’t matter the techniques, she could just apply the rules, so whether it’s poker or dice tossing, it’s the same to her, no difference.

So she didn’t hesitate and nodded to agree.

Clayflo snapped his fingers and chuckled: “Miss Huo is indeed straightforward!”

Then he turned around and personally fetched the chips and gambling tools.

Chips, in essence, are just a substitute for betting currency, because both Huo Sining and Clayflo are using real items as bets, both parties have to evaluate based on the items’ value.

“Here are 90 million worth of chips, the antiques my sister lost yesterday were bought by Miss Huo for 90 million, so I will also use 90 million as chips for today’s bet, with each round having a minimum bet of 1 million. Whoever loses all 90 million chips first loses, and the winner takes the prize, does Miss Huo have any objections?”

Huo Sining had no objections, and the staff immediately pushed a pile of 1 million value chips to Huo Sining and Alden’s fronts, with 90 neatly arranged for each person.

Clayflo took out gambling tools, a set of unopened poker cards from a card case and handed them to Windsor Caesar: “Emperor, I’m afraid we need you to act as the croupier again today.”

Windsor Caesar nodded: “No problem, it’s my honor to serve two Gambling Kings.”

Clayflo looked at Huo Sining: “Does Miss Huo need to verify the cards?”

Huo Sining was surprised, then chuckled: “No need.”

This gamble was orchestrated by Clayflo himself, and besides her and Alden, there were notable audiences such as Windsor Caesar, Adrian, and Windsor Reed observing, in such a setting, it’s obvious Clayflo wouldn’t dare tamper with the gambling tools.

That box of antiques, though valuable, was definitely not as precious as Clayflo’s reputation and credibility. As a potential heir of the Rothschild Family, there’s no way Clayflo would dare damage his reputation for short-term gain.

When Windsor Caesar took the cards handed by Clayflo, he removed the Joker cards without exhibiting any impressive shuffling skills, just neatly overlapped and shuffled the new deck.

But Caesar’s hand was extremely quick, his movements very skillful, causing Huo Sining to feel somewhat dizzy after glancing at them casually, so she withdrew her gaze, instead directing it towards Alden across the table.

Unexpectedly, this glance stunned Huo Sining.
