Moti looked Lin Yu up and down with interest. "You little rascal, are you deaf? The manager at the bar was talking to you about so much, and you just completely forgot about it."
Moti originally planned to fleece Lin Yu, but unexpectedly, Lin Yu took the initiative to suggest playing cards.
This action, however, made Mortis wary.
There are very few people in the entire Exiled World who can upgrade themselves to VIP status in a single day. Although these people come from all walks of life and have different backgrounds and professions, they all have one thing in common: they are extremely wealthy!
Moreover, this level of wealth is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
To acquire such a large amount of money, one must either be extremely intelligent or the money is not one's own but inherited from Lao Tzu.
Moti initially thought Lin Yu was the former, but seeing his arrogant and ignorant attitude, he immediately categorized Lin Yu as the latter.
Furthermore, given that Lin Yu himself is an "alien visitor," Mortis imagined an even grander scenario.
A rich young master from another world, feeling wronged at home, runs away to the Exile World in search of excitement!
"Hehe, if you want to play cards with me, Mortis, you'd better tighten your belt before you come," Mortis said with a wicked grin.
In those few seconds, Mortis had already given Lin Yu a new identity, and he was very confident in his deduction.
Lin Yu could tell that Motixi didn't respect him much. After glancing at the expressions of the creatures around him, he knew that if he continued to back down, he would be looked down upon by others. So he spoke coldly.
"How about my belt? Why don't you have your wife try it on?"
Lin Yu's words were not very offensive, but extremely insulting. Mo Tixi could no longer tolerate it and went into a state of depression, slamming his fist on the table.
Mortis used all his strength in that punch, which shattered the cups on the table in mid-air. Lin Yu quickly put away his cards to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Lin Yu reacted quickly, which naturally made Mo Tixi's face even uglier. However, Lin Yu didn't seem to care, as if he hadn't seen Mo Tixi's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and spoke again on his own.
"What, you don't have a wife, so you're planning to try it yourself?" Lin Yu paused, glanced at Mo Tixi provocatively, and then looked away, as if looking at Mo Tixi any longer would taint his eyes.
"I'm really not cut out for something this big."
This humor was clearly only palatable to the few people inside the booth, who laughed without restraint.
Aside from these carefree individuals, everyone else in the booth stared in disbelief at Lin Yu and Mortis, and the atmosphere inside the booth instantly became awkward.
After a long silence, Mortis suddenly burst into laughter, a sound that seemed quite abrupt in the otherwise quiet booth.
"Heh, my friend, you're mistaken. I, Mortis, have more than one wife!" Mortis said, sitting back down. "I have eighteen wives in total. Pick one at random and let me see if you have the ability."
Lin Yu shook his head. "I've thought about it, but I still think it's better to forget it. Your taste doesn't seem that great."
Mortis's expression changed again, but fortunately, after his lips twitched, he managed to suppress the urge to suddenly attack.
"Okay, that's interesting. If you can beat me at cards today, and outdrink my friend Amborg, then I, Mortis, will be completely convinced! From now on, we're brothers."
Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged despite Mortis's sudden change; he simply said, "What if you lose?"
"Hehe, I wouldn't know about that," Mortis said nonchalantly.
After receiving Mortis's "summons," his so-called good brother Ambow also came up to Lin Yu, only to turn out to be another ugly guy next to him.
"You dared to play cards with Mortis, you've got guts, but you'll only live for today," Ambow said with a grin. "Even if you can beat Mortis at cards, you'll never be a match for me, Ambow, when it comes to drinking."
Hearing Ambrose's words, Timothy was furious. "Get out of here! It would be a miracle if I lost to this kid who's barely even touched a card a few times."
Ambow shrugged dismissively.
Lin Yu remained noncommittal. Since none of the three had any objections, the game naturally began.
Before the game officially began, Mortis reaffirmed the rules, which were the same rules they had just set.
"We already agreed that if you lose, you'll give me 10,000 points; if you win, I only need to answer one question, right?"
Mortis was initially baffled by this bizarre bet.
However, considering his previous speculations about Lin Yu's identity, Mortis naturally accepted this premise.
Lin Yu nodded and said, "That's right. But I advise you not to lie to me. According to the customs of my hometown, liars will have their tongues cut out."
"But don't worry, I'm not that violent. I wouldn't do something as crude as cutting out your tongues." Lin Yu paused and then added, "At most, I'll just twist your heads off."
"Hahaha, little kid, you should win first!" Mortis and Ambow laughed.
A card game started and ended in a flash.
"I won, kid. Now pay up!" Mortis arrogantly stretched out his hand to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu casually tossed over the chips; after all, money was the last thing he needed.
These chips were redeemed using points he had previously accumulated at the bar; Mortis could also use the chips to redeem points later.
"It certainly looks like we won, but these cards... something's not right." Lin Yu said, pulling out three cards with the same number from the table, a situation that should never occur in a card game.
But now that these three cards are on this table, the reality is becoming clear.
The other creatures present tacitly averted their gaze, and a few of them even let out a few unkind sneers.
Even after being caught cheating by Lin Yu, Mo Tixi didn't seem to care. He stretched, silently showing Lin Yu the weapon tucked into his waistband, and straightened his legs, saying, "You shuffled the cards and dealt them, so who can you blame now that the cards are wrong?"
