Chapter 302: Chapter 126 Betting on Sophia Jones’ Clothes 3

Translator: 549690339

Leonard Churchill, though he had an inkling, was quite taken aback to see the man confessing so openly.

Sophia Jones1 eyes slightly narrowed as she heard this.

Her gorgeous face still wore a warm smile as she said, “By saying this, are you not afraid that you won’t be able to leave the Flood Gang’s headquarters today?”

The young man in the suit didn’t mind at all, and also responded with a smile, “If you take action, I indeed won’t make it out alive. But if you dare to do so, I can guarantee that not a single soul in the Flood Gang’s headquarters will be left alive either. Do you believe me?”

The two of them were conducting a veiled standoff in the most nonchalant manner.

And with that, the room fell silent.

The air seemed to have solidified.

The breathing became heavy.

It seemed that at Sophia’s slight beckon, her men could rush in and chop the pretty boy to pieces.

Leonard was quite looking forward to a fight, but he felt that both parties hadn’t laid down all their cards yet, thus the chances of a fight breaking out were slim.

And sure enough.

All of a sudden, the young man in the suit broke the silence, “How about another round? If I win, you still strip. If I lose, the matter ends here today, and I’ll also answer one of your questions.”

At his words, Sophia’s eyelids fluttered.

She already had a hunch that something was not right, but she had no choice but to agree, “Alright!”

She felt the pulse of destiny.

But she also knew,

That she couldn’t back down.

Nor could anyone in the Flood Gang.

The third round of card match began.

Seven Brown kept dealing the cards.

On the sidelines, Leonard was detecting an increasingly eerie atmosphere. Meanwhile, he was pondering, “Just now, he was 3 points short, and this time, 1 point short…could there be some type of pattern here?”

He didn’t expect to see through whether it involved any complex cheating techniques used by the two in their card game. He could only speculate on some possible metaphysical influences.

Initially, Leonard didn’t believe these two were merely gambling on luck.

But after observing two games, he was somehow convinced they seemed to be purely gambling on luck.

The luck at stake, however, wasn’t impossible to manipulate as he had initially thought.

Mysterious Type card masters had the means to influence luck.

And Leonard didn’t believe that this elegantly dressed young lady would place such a high stake bet without having some kind of assurance.

She must have something to rely on.

Thus, following this line of thought.

Leonard suddenly had a new idea.

Could it be that this guy wasn’t guaranteed every win, but with high stakes bets, he was sure to win? Could it be understood that his small bets are being used to “edge up his luck”?

Leonard suddenly thought about his past life where he used to gamble on his luck in games. He would upgrade his equipment through a concept commonly referred to as “junkpadding”.

Essentially, edging up luck.

If you feel unlucky, you’d use a piece of substandard equipment to ‘junk pad’. If the equipment breaks in the process of strengthening it, then so be it.

Only after you’ve broken a few pieces of junk equipment would you then upgrade the main equipment.

This was said to provide a boost to your luck.

The odds of winning tend to increase with more losses.

This was also a common gambler’s mentality.

Leonard, who carefully observed this, noted that his opponent had lost two rounds in a row. Despite this, the lady’s momentum seemed to be mounting. This could only be explained by ‘edging up luck’, couldn’t it?

Leonard did not know how she managed to do it.

But he guessed that some mysterious force must have increased her luck, like artifacts, spells, or something of the sort.

It looked like a card game,

But in reality, the two at the table were battling on a metaphysical level.

Leonard, deep in thought, had a premonition, “If it really is as I guessed, President Jones is likely to lose the next round…”

And clearly, the opponent was not interested in watching her strip, but was aiming for something bigger.

Seven Brown laid out the cards for both parties once again.

Both sides proceeded to reveal their cards.

Sophia Jones: Diamond 9, Heart 10,19 points

The man in the suit: Spades 10, Diamond 10,20 points.

Just one point ahead.

This time, Sophia Jones, truly lost!
