Bai Wei’s words made Ring Finger and Incisor wary, looking up at the branches overhead, feeling the same pressure.
Even though everyone here knows Visas has long been dead, the power He left behind still evokes both desire and fear.
Who knows if this Taoyuan Village might come to life on its own?
After all, the new buds on those dead branches are no mere decorations.
Anyway, Rocky had calmed down by now.
Now, it was Bai Wei’s turn to reveal his cards as the dealer.
Although Rocky had heard in some card games if the dealer and the player have the same value, the dealer wins, their game hadn’t established that rule beforehand, so Rocky was still hoping for a draw.
If Bai Wei’s cards busted as well, they’d be tied, with no losers.
And Incisor’s cards were either already high enough that Bai Wei’s chance of winning against him... was very slim.
So, bust quickly, bust quickly!
Rocky shouted in his heart.
"It seems it’s my turn." Bai Wei said as if he’d heard Rocky’s internal shout, smiling as he picked up his hand, "Since that’s the case... let’s reveal the cards directly, Mr. Incisor."
... Reveal the cards directly?!
Incisor’s cards were either nine and a half or ten.
Bai Wei wanted to win with just one card, how was that possible?
Everyone looked at Bai Wei’s hand.
The hand slowly turned over.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
How could it be a "Three"?
How could it be such a small card?
And just leave it at that?
"It’s over." Bai Wei looked at Incisor, "I lost to you, Mr. Incisor."
Then he looked at Rocky and Ring Finger.
"But I won against both of you."
Rocky was still in a daze.
But Ring Finger had realized something, she looked up at Bai Wei and slowly spoke: "What clever calculations, Mr. Hand Eye... this was never a fair match, your advantage was too great. As long as you kept your patience, and your luck wasn’t too bad, you’d always win against one or two of us, as for the one you’d lose to..."
Ring Finger turned to look at Incisor.
"The one you lost to was only an irrelevant piece of information. Although that information is indeed crucial, Mr. Incisor would likely choose it, but I think... since you know that information but didn’t seize it yourself, it can only mean it’s something even you, with two pieces of Corpse Blocks, can’t grab."
With Ring Finger’s explanation, Incisor understood, and the joy of winning against Bai Wei dissipated quite a bit as he coldly looked at Bai Wei.
Bai Wei shrugged, smiling: "After all, the opponent also has two pieces of Corpse Blocks, Tongue and Ear, it’s normal that I can’t beat him, right? As for this game... didn’t we agree from the start? Or are you, Miss Ring Finger, considering backing out?"
"Of course not." Ring Finger replied steadily, "With Taoyuan Village as witness, none of us can back out. Besides, you caught us in the trap, which is your skill, so this victory is yours. But next time, it won’t go so smoothly for you."
Listening on the side, Rocky’s teeth gritted and creaked.
There’s another goddamn next time?!
He was already cheated last time, and now again?!
Ring Finger can say there won’t be a next time, so what should he say?
Won’t happen three times?!
The more Rocky thought about it, the angrier he got.
Sooner or later, he would capture this bastard himself... wait, isn’t this guy being chased by Devour right now?
He wouldn’t live much longer either!
So why was he still offering himself as a victim?!
...Unless after obtaining [Disturbance], this guy causes some major event again?
With that thought, Rocky regretted it even more.
"I got your suggestion. If there’s another time, I’ll find a fairer game for all of us to enjoy." Bai Wei smiled, clapping his hands, "Now, let’s move on to the reward segment... Mr. Incisor, as the biggest winner, what would you like from me?"
Incisor coldly looked at Bai Wei.
Understanding that Bai Wei had made it impossible to lose, he still asked about the information on the other two Corpse Blocks. It felt foolish, like willingly stepping into a known trap.
Those are two Corpse Blocks!
He really couldn’t refuse, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I still want the information."
"No problem." Bai Wei snapped his fingers.
Then Rocky felt his hearing being severed by some strong force. He saw Bai Wei talking to Incisor, but couldn’t hear what they were saying.
...Damn, he initially wanted to get by somehow.
Clearly, Taoyuan Village wasn’t that easy to fool.
Half a minute later, his hearing returned, and he saw Incisor nodding, saying, "I understand now."
With Taoyuan Village’s guarantee, he didn’t bother to question the authenticity of the information.
"Alright, now it’s our turn." Bai Wei turned his attention to Rocky and Ring Finger.
Rocky said coldly: "If you want it, just take it quickly."
"No rush." Bai Wei waved his hand, smiling, "I suddenly thought, maybe we can add a little something more."
Ring Finger didn’t speak; Rocky narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"
"You see, my stakes included two choices, Corpse Blocks and information." Bai Wei spread his hands and said, "You can do the same."
