However, to Alden’s surprise once again, this woman actually called again.

She glanced at the two hole cards in front of her nonchalantly and tossed four chips, as if she didn’t care about winning or losing this round at all.

Alden snickered inwardly, go on, keep pretending, I really want to see how long you can keep this up!

The croupier continued dealing the cards.

After looking at his cards, Alden discreetly furrowed his brows a bit.

Instead of the expected 9, J, or A, it was a diamond Q.

That meant the expected straight flush was gone, and he couldn’t even make a flush or a straight, ending up with just a pair of Qs.

However, since this Q was the diamond Q, and coincidentally, Huo Sining’s open card, the K, was also a diamond, it meant that no matter what, this Eastern woman couldn’t possibly have a straight flush.

Thinking this, Alden weighed the possibilities and felt he still had a chance to win, so he followed again with four million.

It’s already the fourth card, Alden couldn’t believe Huo Sining could still keep her cool without checking her hole cards, but he was wrong again. This woman wasn’t playing by the usual rules, as she once again called without looking at her cards.

By now, the chips in the center of the table totaled twenty-six million.

This was not Las Vegas, not WGC. The spectators outside could not see what the hole cards on the table were, so regarding the confrontation between the two, the audience could only watch, completely unaware of what was happening.

Behind Huo Sining, not only did Su Qingqing clench her fists, but even Li Jun was so anxious he couldn’t sit still, while Gu Xu, on the other hand, wore a calm expression, seemingly not worried at all.

”Mr. Gu, why don’t you say something? What on earth is Miss Huo up to? She isn’t even checking her hole cards; no one plays showdown like this!”

Li Jun saw that Windsor Caesar was already dealing the last card and couldn’t hold back his nerves, leaning over to Gu Xu and whispered.

Gu Xu glanced over at his wife sitting steadily across the table, with a nonchalant smile:

”No need to worry. Ningning has her own strategy. Anyway, those antiques were won without spending any money, even if we lose, it’s not a big deal.”

Upon hearing Gu Xu’s comforting words, Su Qingqing couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said anxiously:

”What are you saying? We can’t lose! These are the Twelve Bronze Animal Heads. If we lose, we might not be able to secure those two items, and that would be terrible!”

Gu Xu raised his eyebrows: ”What’s so terrible? The cards haven’t been revealed yet, who says we’ve lost? What if fate is on our side?”

Seeing Gu Xu’s attitude, Su Qingqing was utterly frustrated and stopped talking, turning back to stare intently at the tensions unfolding on Huo Sining’s side of the table.

Alden’s last card was another Q.

Alden’s initially anxious mood finally settled down.

Though didn’t hit a straight flush, at least he had three Qs, which were definitely high cards. And given that he calculated he had a K, Huo Sining having a straight flush or three Ks was very unlikely, and with the remaining four cards, the chance for her to have quads was slim. Thus, his chances of winning increased.

Yet, even after the last card was dealt, Huo Sining still didn’t look; four cards were boldly laid on the table, but nobody knew what they were.

After calculating a bit, Alden gritted his teeth, and directly took out ten chips from in front of him and tossed them.

”I’m going all in, I have three Qs, I want to see your hole cards!”

Everyone was stunned, but Semiya over there couldn’t help clapping and said with a smile: ”Haha, Uncle Levi, your hand is really good, hitting three of a kind in the third round, and it’s three Qs, you’re definitely winning!”

Alden didn’t speak; he just frowned and looked at Huo Sining across from him, trying to read her face, but disappointingly, she hadn’t looked at her hole cards at all, maintaining that social smile from start to finish.

Alden felt a wave of frustration. He accepted Clayflo’s commission to gamble against this Huaxia woman with confidence, relying on his two special skills: card memorization and reading opponents’ micro-expressions.

But this woman in front of him continually frustrated him, firstly disrupting his concentration during the croupier’s shuffle, so he didn’t successfully keep track of cards; then after the game started, she didn’t touch her hole cards at all, making no detectable emotional change, making it impossible to read what she was thinking. Thus, his two relied-upon skills fell to no use.

Alden secretly ground his teeth in frustration, feeling bitter toward this woman, yet helpless to do anything about her.

Over there, Huo Sining smiled after Alden pushed his chips all in.

She had already seen her hole cards, and even before Windsor Caesar dealt, she knew what Alden’s five cards would be. She wasn’t worried about him not calling, but feared his courage wasn’t big enough.

Therefore, she intentionally didn’t look at her hole cards to confuse her opponent, making Alden believe his hand was big enough, at least enough to crush her hole cards. Thus, Alden would definitely go all in and attack her.

Huo Sining’s prediction was spot on; her previous two actions to fold had indeed confused Alden, making him believe she was merely pretending, and thus losing vigilance, amplifying his courage to go all in.

Seeing Alden reveal his three Qs, Huo Sining played the part, even pretending to widen her eyes in shock and panic, looking at Alden with feigned calm, which further confirmed Alden’s judgment; it seemed this woman was just trying to pull a fast one and hadn’t expected him to go all in.

After revealing his hand, Alden stood up as well; his eyes filled with amusement as he looked pressingly at Huo Sining.

Huo Sining glanced over at Windsor Caesar, suddenly waved at Semiya and said: ”Princess Semya, could you help me by revealing these four hole cards?”

Semiya hadn’t expected Huo Sining to suddenly make such a request to her, at first she was startled, but quickly her mouth curled into a delighted smile: ”Alright!”
