Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1028

He drove the car by himself, sliding across the streets in the sleepless A City. In this bustling city, people would not stop their merrymaking with the colorful nightlife only because of bad weather. In this city with such a developed economy, there were many industries that sounded not very decent, yet was crowded with patrons. No matter they had money or not, people were busy enjoying their life at night.

As soon as he arrived at Grand Night Casino, Brian went directly to the monitoring room on the top floor, followed by Jason. After watching the surveillance video of a VIP room, Brian asked in a cold voice, "Have you identified him? Have you learned anything about him?"

"We have been trying to find out who he is," Jason answered hesitantly, as if he was a bit ashamed, "but... unfortunately, we haven't been able to identify him yet." He continued while lowering his head. As one of the top casinos in the world, Grand Night Casino had stored some pieces of information about anybody that had been known for gambling skills or cheating skills. However, they were not able to find out the background of the person in that VIP room, who was excellent in both gambling and cheating. As the person in charge of the daily operation of Grand Night Casino, Jason really felt quite ashamed.

Hearing that, Brian's black eyes gradually became deep. He first took a slight glance at Jason and then looked at the screen, on which the real-time surveillance video of that VIP room was displayed. The middle-aged man, who they were talking about, was taking the biggest straight flush one more time. It was almost impossible for anybody to get such good cards when Shane served as the dealer. However, to their surprise, he did that. If he had done that by cheating, Shane should have found out. If he had done that by gambling, it should be assumed that Shane had been too careless.

After taking an intercom from aside and adjusting it to the same frequency with Shane, Brian ordered in an indifferent tone, "Give him four of a kind."

Hearing that, Shane's face didn't change color at all, as if nothing had come to his ears through his earphone. After shuffling the cards in a very skilled manner, he took a glance at both parties in front of him and asked, "Cut or not?"

The middle-aged man let the man opposite to him cut first. Then with a faint smile on his lips, he said, "Cut three at the beginning and three at the end."

Raising his eyebrows a bit, Shane did as he said. Then he put the cards into the dealer. However, at the moment he did that, his hands moved in an almost invisible manner, like a magician doing his trick. As a result, the order of the cards had changed.

Brian looked at the cards of both parties displayed on the screen. From beginning to end, the middle-aged man had not taken a look at his first card. When the fifth cards of both parties were turned over, it could be found out that the cards of the other party made up with the flower by Hearts 5, 6, 7 and 8, while the cards of the middle-aged man included three Aces and a Heart 9.

"It seems that, you have lost half the chance of a straight flush," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

The man sitting opposite to him wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief. With a sneer, he said, "Nobody knows who will win and who will lose until the cards are showed."

Hearing that, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said calmly with a smile, "No, in case that the two cards unknown are both unimportant ones, my cards that have already been shown are better than yours." Seeing that the man opposite him kept sweating profusely, the middle-aged man sighed slightly and said, "Show hand!" While saying that, he pushed over the columns of all the chips in front of him.
