"Lord Kazekage, shall we continue?"
Waning Moon took out another deck of cards and asked.
Keiko wiped the sweat from his forehead and gritted his teeth.
After the first round, Keiko put away his previous arrogance and became cautious and serious. He scattered the ten million crystal chips in his hand and began making "small-scale" probes.
This was Keiko's ninja style of fighting on the battlefield, but he did not know that it violated a major taboo of gambling. The "battle" of a battlefield and that of a casino were vastly different and could not be compared.
Gambling was all about momentum. When your momentum overpowered others, fortune would naturally follow you. When your momentum was weaker, fortune would leave you without hesitation.
Waning Moon played boldly, becoming fiercer with every hand, while Keiko's cards grew worse and worse. He looked like a defeated army collapsing like a landslide, and before long, only ten crystal blocks remained in his hand.
"Pour me a drink."
Keiko ordered. A beautiful woman immediately stepped forward and poured him a glass.
Keiko drained it in one gulp, glaring fiercely at Waning Moon as though she were an enemy on the battlefield. After a long moment, he snapped his fingers.
"Break this one up. Continue!"
Gao Jin behind him nodded, picked up one crystal block, and exchanged it for ten gold blocks.
Waning Moon did not seem to care in the slightest. She silently opened the deck, checked the cards, shuffled them, and dealt.
Keiko's hole card was a "K."
Waning Moon's hole card was an "A." She spoke.
"Thirty million!"
She opened with a ruthless move.
"I'll call, then go all in!"
This time, Keiko did not have Gao Jin help him. He domineeringly shoved every chip on the table forward.
Waning Moon froze
