With trembling hands, he revealed his hole card. A pitiful little "2" lay under the lights.

His last chip had bid Huai Shi farewell as well.

"Don't, Akasaki, one more round, just one more..." Huai Shi struggled desperately despite Akasaki tugging at him. "I've still got ten million prepared. Let me play one more round, and I'll definitely win it back!"

Akasaki rolled his eyes. He really couldn't stand watching anymore.

You couldn't have thrown money into a puddle any faster!

How the hell had he managed that?!

With that dog-hearted, dog-faced look of his, he wanted to compete against the Gambling King the Chiba Family had brought in from the Americas to hold the fort? Keep dreaming! If he had eaten even one more edamame bean, things wouldn't have turned out this way!

"That guy... went all in! Then... hahahaha, surrendered and lost half... half... hahahaha! I'm dying! Gokudō these days really are so colorful, hahahaha... And here I thought someone was challenging me. You gave me such a scare, hahaha! Mr. Chiba, where did you find this manzai performer?"
