Since the poker ghad been brought up at the very last minute and the person who had suggested playing
the card ghad voluntarily given up his direct participation in the game, even volunteering to be the
croupier, aside from Charlie and Olivia, the several other participants did not think about the aspect of cheating
at all. Moreover, since the venue was the Northern European royal family's own poker room and the playing
cards were a brand-new and unopened product from the poker room's inventory, no one had any doubts at all.
In truth, there were actually no problems with the playing cards at all. The real problem was with the croupier.
He was originally an expert in gambling, and he had made quite a fortune by gambling. Even if he were to play
cards with professionals, he could cheat unnoticed, let alone when he was facing a group of amateur players.
This person had very fast hands, very good memory, and excellent finger dexterity. It could be comparable to a
close-range magician. So, when he shuffled the cards, no one knew that he had already memorized the position
of each card in his mind. Afterward, it seemed as though he was casually cutting and inserting the cards at
random, but he had
already arranged the playing cards according to his predetermined rules.
At this time, Olivia also issued a pile of chips to everyone and said, "Everyone, each of our chips is all worth one
hundred million euros. We will just use it first. Anyone who loses all of their chips first will have to buy the one
hundred million euros of chips from other players to continue playing. When we finally decide to stop playing,
everyone will count their chips, and those who have less than one hundred million euros worth of chips will fork

Everyone naturally had no opinion.
After all, Olivia's place was not a real casino. If they were playing in a casino, they would first have to spend
money to buy chips from the casino before returning the chips to get back their money. However, with this kind
of private gambling gbetween friends, they would usually not need to buy the chips first but instead, the
chips would be issued first, and those who lost money first would fork out money to buy the chips. This would
also be much more convenient for the calculation.
However, just as the others were nodding, Charlie spoke up and said, "Letinterject. Wouldn't it be a little too
low if the chips are only worth one hundred million euros?" "This is still considered low?" A kid whom Charlie did
not know blurted out, "We are just playing for fun, so one hundred million dollars is already a lot!"
Charlie waved his hand. He had a look of disdain as he said, "One hundred million euros is not enough. If there
are not enough chips, I will not be able to enjoy placing my bet, then!"
Olivia hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wade, what are your intentions, then?"
Charlie smiled and said, "Simple. Just multiply the face value of all the chips by ten times."
As he spoke, he picked up a one hundred thousand euro chip and said, "Look. This one hundred thousand euro
chip will represent one million euros, and the one million euro chip next to it will be ten million euros." The others
could not help but take a deep breath.
One of them even thought to
himself, 'Damn it! Those who are rich really can speak louder than the others! Even playing a card gfor
entertainment has to be played for one billion euros. This is really too scary."
Most of the other players also felt the sway.
Playing at such a high stake was really beyond their capacity.
This group of people could lose up to a few million or tens of millions at most. They would really collapse
emotionally if they really had to lose a hundred million euros on such an occasion. However, Walliot felt
extremely excited at this time.
He knew very well in his heart that he secretly had the help of the croupier, and he would definitely be able to
triumph over Charlie.

Not to mention a maximum of one billion euros, but what would ten billion euros even mean to him? The good
thing was that he definitely would have a one hundred percent winning rate.
So, Walliot then spoke up and said, "Everyone, Mr. Wade is our guest who cfrom afar. Don't spoil all the fun
for him. If you really feel that the betis too big, you don't have to force yourself to proceed with the heavy bets."
As soon as the people heard these words, they could only nod their heads and agree.
After all, Walliot was also considered one of the hosts today, and he was a member of the Rothschild family.
Therefore, he would have more say compared to the others. As for Charlie, the Wade family that he had as his
backing was indeed worth more than one hundred billion euros. Furthermore, he was also
n
inextricably linked to Ten Thousand Armies. So, everyone could only play along with the both of them.
When the croupier saw this, he smiled and said," Okay, then. Since everyone has already discussed the rules, |
will deal the cards now." Immediately after that, the croupier dealt the first card to the person on his right. After
that, he kept on dealing the cards in order.
The betting started after the cards were dealt.
