Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 367 Trio of Kingst
He had three tens, making it thirty points.
Hunter burst into laughter, challenging, “Let’s see how you’re going to top that!‘ His laughter was so intense that he seemed completely unaware of the pain in his arm and leg.
Swiftly, he composed himself, waiting calmly for Isabelle to reveal her cards,
“Thirty points. Mr. Hunter seals the win for this round.”
“Will she face the consequences alone, or will Gerald step in? Their dynamic is quite unusual.”
“Mr. Hunter has already taken two blows; he won’t let Gerald intervene.”
“I’ll give it a try.” Jim declared, leaning forward to grab Isabelle’s cards.
But Isabelle halted him in his tracks.

Jim remarked, I’m feeling lucky tonight.”
Yves chimed in. “Let me take a shot; your luck isn’t exactly stellar, Jim.”
Isabelle countered, “Each of you brings bad luck; stay out of this.”
Jim withdrew his hand, settling back into his seat. “She’s talking about you.”
“She’s talking about you, Yves echoed.

Isabelle’s delicate fingers hovered over the cards. She gently lifted a corner of the top card, stealing a glance.
Hunter, hungry for revenge, urged impatiently, ‘Come on. Get on with it!”
Isabelle then turned her attention to the middle card, lifting another corner.
Her expression remained unchanged.
Everyone marveled. This girl’s mental strength is impressive. Even in the face of imminent defeat, she remains remarkably composed.
Is it because Gerald is beside her?
Unfortunately, Hunter wasn’t one to trifle with, especially now when he was teetering on the brink of rage after enduring two stabs.
Some even feared he might be the one to maneuver the knife to punish her.
Hunter continued to push her, but Isabelle held onto the cards, refusing to budge.
Finally reaching his limit, Hunter impatiently grabbed Isabelle’s cards, revealing them with a flourish and
tossing them onto the table.
The three cards landed with a crisp sound.

Chapter 367 Trio of Kings
Finished
Hunter’s bulging eyes, brimming with anticipation, abruptly dimmed as he laid eyes on the three cards, his laughter ceasing.
His pupils contracted violently, disbelief written all over his face.
The guests gasped collectively.
It turned out to be three kings.
Even though they added up to thirty points as well, the kings were bigger by default.
Hunter’s trio of tens couldn’t outdo Isabelle’s trio of kings.
The guests marveled. “Three kings! This girl’s luck is off the charts. I thought she was doomed to lose.”
Hunter’s face drained of color as he looked at Isabelle. She wore a subtle smile, her eyes hinting at confidence.
Hunter couldn’t fathom losing with a score of thirty.
Frustrated, he accused Isabelle of foul play. This can’t be real. You must’ve cheated!”
Yves casually noted, “But there are so many witnesses, and you dealt the cards yourself, Mr. Hunter.”
“Not everyone resorts to cheating. My Sweetheart has always been lucky. It’s your misfortune to face her,” Yves implied.
The host attempted to ease the tension. He was just hosting a banquet, and he didn’t expect it to turn into a bloody gamble.
“They both add up to thirty points. This isn’t a casino; let’s just call it a draw, shall we?
“We’re all friends here,” the host assured, aiming his words at Yves.
Trying to lead Hunter away, the host offered, “Mr. Hunter, let me help with your wound.”
