They all call me master

poker?

Arthur's expression showed just the right amount of surprise and surprise.

Then, there was relief.

The [Delicate Puppet], who was manipulated by members of the 'Dead Poets Society', immediately laughed after seeing a series of expressions on the young 'spiritual medium'.

"I know you can understand what I mean, Mr. Kratos -

What could be a better test of observation, reaction and intelligence than playing cards? "

With that said, this member of the 'Dead Poets Society' controlled the [Exquisite Puppet] and started shuffling the cards with one hand in front of Arthur.

The whole pile of poker cards was divided into two piles of the same thickness, and then moved towards the middle. With a clattering sound, the two piles of poker cards merged into one again.

Then, the whole pile of playing cards was divided into three, and moved up and down in the palm of the hand in a fast and dexterous manner. Even after each up and down alternation, the middle pile of cards would complete a circle against the fingers. When the up, down, and surrounding trajectories appear together, the entire stack of cards becomes like a blooming flower.

In particular, from Arthur's perspective, the stack of surrounding cards is facing up, and each time it is surrounded, it has a different card face.

Start with the Ace of Spades and end with the 2 of Spades.

Thirteen changes, dazzling.

Undoubtedly, this is a very professional approach.

At least, Arthur couldn't find any fault with this shuffling technique.

Of course, Arthur knew more clearly that the other party was putting pressure on him.

Facing his continuous failures, the other party was very unconvinced.

The other side wants to win for once.

Even asking him to voluntarily admit defeat——

For example: Try a different kind of competition.

It is precisely because of this that the other party will show off his professional shuffling skills at the beginning, just to make him quit.

If it were a competition in other aspects, Arthur might have changed.

After all, as a 'spiritual medium' it is impossible to care about temporary gains and losses.

But playing poker...

His strength!

As long as the conditions are right and he has the [Magic Poker Box], he is invincible in poker.

"You used to work part-time in a casino?"

Arthur asked curiously.

"Well, my family used to have a casino."

The other party nodded quite calmly.

However, Arthur didn't believe it.

In Arthur's view, this is also further pressure from the other party. It is too simple for anyone to fake their identity to gain some active advantages.

Especially when he takes the initiative to send the steps over, the other party will definitely step on them subconsciously.

Dig a hole?

No no no!

This is just the adaptability of the 'psychic medium' in the face of 'disadvantage'.

"Yeah?

That was a challenge for me.

I want to check the license! "

Arthur said with a smile.

"certainly!

This is the rule as it should be! "

Looking at Arthur who accepted the competition, the smile on [Exquisite Puppet]'s face became even brighter.

Although he has prepared some other competitions, this member of the ‘Dead Poets Society’ is most confident about poker.

Therefore, the other party did not object at all, and even said the rules.

And this is what Arthur wants.

One professional and one amateur.

If the latter wants to challenge the former, it must firmly bind the opponent to have a chance of winning - even if it means restraining the opponent in the field in which the opponent is best.

Because that's the only way...

Only then will you know what the other person will do and how they will do it.

It will also cause the other party to misunderstand what you want to do.

Simply put, you must let the other party have the first impression.

It must also be unexpected.

so--

"etc!"

After the other party finished speaking, he was about to throw the poker in his hand to Arthur, but Arthur waved his hand to refuse. Arthur motioned for the other party to place it on the ground - about 30 centimeters away from the skeletal steps.

Looking at the position of Arthur's fingers, the other party kept smiling and nodded.

According to the rules of the gambling table, one party provides the poker, and the other party has the right to check the cards in any way-as long as the poker itself is not damaged.

Of course, if you suspect that the other party is cheating, you can choose to sabotage it.

But there must be conclusive evidence, otherwise you will lose ten times.

Arthur knew nothing about these, but his uncle Drake was extremely good at it. According to Drake, his card skills had been passed down from the old Charlie, especially when playing cards with ladies in the club. , even without a single defeat, claiming to be invincible.

Arthur remains skeptical.

However, he still remembered some of the rules that Drake said.

"is it here?"

The other party confirmed.

When Arthur nodded, the other party immediately threw out the poker in his hand.

And the moment the opponent threw the poker in his hand, [Hand of Nothingness] caught the poker.

Looking at the poker cards suspended in mid-air, the opponent was stunned for a moment. Then, when he saw the two [Void Hands] shuffling the cards and checking the cards one by one, he immediately sighed.

"I always appreciate your caution."

"There is no way, you are a professional, and I..."

boom!

Before Arthur could finish his words, an explosion suddenly occurred in Nan Town in the distance.

Almost instinctively, Arthur turned his head and looked in the direction of Nanzhen.

Seeing this scene, the other party felt a little more proud in his heart.

‘Want to record cards?

How could I possibly let you have your wish? ’

The other party can confirm that what Arthur just called checking the cards is just recording the cards.

Because it was exactly the same as when he memorized cards for the first time.

And he had been guarding against this hand for a long time!

‘He is indeed an amateur!

I'm sure to win! ’

The other party was thinking in his heart, and then he looked in the direction of Nanzhen and said directly——

"That's a group of people I provoked before. They are using their own way to get back what they think belongs to them!"

"Blinded by greed, their ending will not be good!"

Arthur said this, checking the cards in his hand from the beginning again.

Obviously, being interrupted by the explosion just now, Arthur needed to remember from the beginning, but the other party did not give Arthur a chance.

The 'Delicate Puppet' who was manipulated by the members of the 'Dead Poets Society' spoke.

"Sir Kratos, have you finished checking the cards?

The time for your license verification is coming soon. "

Of course, license verification cannot go on endlessly.

According to local gambling table rules, 1 minute is a time limit

"alright!"

Arthur sped up, and the cards behind him were almost swept away.

Obviously, this is forcing memory.

Looking at Arthur's appearance, the smile in his heart was almost beyond words.

The other party knows that he will win.

Arthur is a pure layman.

Thinking of this, the other party couldn't help but speak again——

"Let's draw cards to compare!

Best of three!

If you draw a ghost card, you will lose directly!

In order to make this game more interesting, in addition to the previous bets, we add some more-in three games, the winner can ask the loser a question.

The loser cannot refuse to answer as long as it does not violate the existing contract, and must be honest.

If you are asked about an existing contract, you can refuse to answer, and the answer will be regarded as complete.

How about it? "

Arthur frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds before nodding.

And the moment Arthur nodded, a scroll appeared in the opponent's hand.

When the contract is drawn up, the contract is thrown out just like before.

Arthur let one [Hand of Nothingness] hold the card, and the other hand caught the contract.

After all, as we all know, there are only two [Hands of Nothingness].
