Chapter 595


    James was happily engrossed in a game of Taxus Poker at an illegal casino that evening. Beside him s


    at a youngdy with short hair who was dressed in revealing attire. Judging from the casino


    chips on the table, it looked like they had been winning a lot.


    “I have a pair of Queens. Show your hand!” A man with a hooked nose who sat opposite James


    revealed his hand


    “You dare challenge me with just à pair of Queens? Keep your eyes open, buddy. I’ve got Three of a Ki


    nd James grinned, flipping his cards over to show a pair of sixes. Since there was a six in one


    of the fivemunity cards, they made a set of three sixes, also known as three of a kind.


    The rules of Taxus Poker are simple. There were fivemunity cards, and each yer was dealt two


    hole cards. These can then bebined in any way to form the best five–card hand. The


    highest–ranking hand is a Royal Flush, followed by Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Three of a


    Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and finally, a High Card.


    *James, you’ve won again! You’re amazing!” Thedy with short hair cheered excitedly, admiration evid


    ent in her eyes.


    Hahaha! Well, luck isn’t the only factor in a game of Taxus Poker. It’s a matter of skill too. I can


    see through all his tricks! There’s no way I’d lose to him!” James bragged gleefully.


    “I say, based on your chips, you’ve probably won at least a million dors, haven’t you, James?”


    The youngdy asked as her eyes shone brightly.


    “More or less. Here, this is for you.” James pressed a chip worth 20 thousand dors into her hand


    with a chuckle.


    “Thank you, James!” The youngdy shed him a radiant smile before nting a kiss on his


    cheek


    “Come on, let’s go enjoy ourselves!” James reached out to hook an arm around thedy’s neck. He wa


    s happy with how much he’d won and was ready to leave to enjoy the rest of the night.


    “You have a winning streak tonight, James. Why don’t you y some more while you’re winning?


    It’s a good opportunity for you to make some more money while Lady Luck is on your side!” The young


    “Oi, rascal! Are you running off after winning just so little? What a loser! Would you dare y another g


    ame with me?” The man with the hooked nose who sat opposite James taunted.


    “This is a golden opportunity, James. Think of all the money you can win off of him. You shouldn’t miss t


    he chance!” The youngdy persuaded him in a hushed whisper.


    “You’ve got a point there.” James nodded and looked at the man with a smirk. “It looks like you enjoy lo


    sing money. I’ll see to it that you walk out without a single cent today! Deal the cards!” With a wave of hi


    s hand, another roundmenced.


    Half an hourter.


    “Oops, a Straight. I think I’ve won again.” The man opposite James showed his hand, revealing a set of


    Straight.

    “Damn it! I lost again!” Losing his temper, James threw the pair of Kings in his hand on the table. With b


    eads of sweat on his forehead and red, bloodshot eyes, he looked irritated.


    Just half


    an hour ago, he had been basking in the joy of winning continuously, making himself more than a millio


    n dors without breaking a sweat. But now, it seemed as though Lady Luck had frowned on him, and h


    e had lost everything that he had won earlier in the evening. What


    terrible luck!


    “Again!” Unwilling to ept defeat, James gestured for the dealer to start a new round.


    “You’re out of chips, James.” The youngdy reminded him.

    “What?” James looked down at the table to see that he had indeed run out of chips.


    “Hahaha! Is that all you’ve got? What a cheapo!” The man with the hooked nose ridiculed James, Get l


    ost then if you haven’t got any more money. Quit making an embarrassment of yourself here!”


    “The fuck did


    you just say?” James mmed his hands on the table as he bolted straight up in his seat, fury written o


    n his face.


    “What? Did I say anything wrong? Don’t act like you’re a big shot if you don’t have the money, loser! ” T


    hen, with a contemptuous expression, he called out to the youngdy, “Hey, hot stuff, what are you doin


    g with a loser like that? Why don’t you join me instead? I’ll make sure you have the best of


    everything!”


    “You-!” James was so vexed that he ground his teeth together. But there was nothing much he


    could do.


    “James, I heard that they allow yers to borrow money from them here. Do you want to give it a try?”


    The youngdy asked.


    “Let’s do it! I’ll win back everything I lost tonight!” James roared. He could never look past the other ma


    n’s taunts. Especially not in front of a woman he fancied.


    “Sure. I’ll get it done immediately.” With a quick nod, the young


    ory note.
