Chapter 1141: Qin Fang vs. Kawasaki Ichiro!


Third update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~

...

"Out…"

With the departure of the last opponent, only Qin Fang and Kawasaki Ichiro remained at the table. He Feifan's face was indescribably ugly.

He specifically organized this gambling session intending to make Qin Fang lose face severely, and then he would bring Hu Jiajia over to watch the commotion.

Unexpectedly, Qin Fang and Hu Jiajia ran into each other earlier, and Hu Jiajia gave him no face at all. Now, Qin Fang persisted until the end, which was equivalent to a hard slap to his face.

"What's the matter, Young Master He? Not in a good mood?"

Qin Fang smiled and asked He Feifan.

He Feifan was the organizer of this gambling session and also took on the role of a witness to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the gamble along with the croupier.

But unlike the croupier, he had a noticeable bias, and his change of expression was related to his tendency. Qin Fang's advancement made him feel extremely embarrassed, at least Hu Jiajia's look at him bore a deep sneer and mockery…

"What does Young Master Qin have to say, please speak directly..."

He Feifan was not the type to directly turn against someone. Even when Qin Fang spoke to him like this, he maintained a smile and feigned confusion as he asked.

"Oh, it's nothing. Just wondering how much Young Master He bet to turn so green in defeat?"

Qin Fang smiled nonchalantly and remarked.

These words were somewhat maliciously said by Qin Fang. Even Kawasaki Ichiro, upon hearing it, couldn't help but slightly furrow his brow and gave He Feifan a glance, intentionally or unintentionally.

This gambling session was already laden with an air of conspiracy from the start. Kawasaki Ichiro felt something was off, but He Feifan's plausible explanations made sense.

Yet now, with Qin Fang's remark and He Feifan's visibly upset face, it wasn't surprising that Kawasaki Ichiro would get slightly skeptical…

"It's not over yet; it's hard to say… How does Young Master Qin know that I will definitely lose?"

He Feifan was thrown into a chaotic situation by Qin Fang's intentionally provocative words. He wanted to say, "I'm green because I haven't eliminated you yet…"

But the problem was, he couldn't say it. If he spoke like that, he feared he'd become infamous in Macau, and who knew how those gossip magazines would embellish his words.

He Feifan wasn't a great person, but he was very good at maintaining his image. Aside from a few who knew him well, most people believed he was a gentleman.

And precisely because of this, he couldn't openly curse. He could only use such words to refute Qin Fang's earlier comment, even glancing at Kawasaki Ichiro, seeming to tell everyone, "I bet on Kawasaki Ichiro to win"…

"Is that so?"

Qin Fang smiled slightly, muttered a quick remark, and then remained silent.

He Feifan was flustered but had nothing else to say, so he signaled for the croupier to continue the game, which had entered its final phase.

Qin Fang VS Kawasaki Ichiro!

These were the last two left in the game, a result no one had anticipated. Qin Fang, who should have been the first to be out, surprisingly held on until the end, with only slightly fewer chips than Kawasaki Ichiro, much to everyone's surprise.

This outcome made many people lose money, and quite a bit at that. It allowed Grand Lisboa Casino to make a substantial profit.

Of course, if Kawasaki Ichiro wins in the end, Grand Lisboa would profit even more. After all, compared to Qin Fang's 20-to-1 odds, Kawasaki Ichiro's less than even odds mean the casino would have to pay out less.

And if Qin Fang wins, that would be the worst-case scenario Uncle Fu had feared!

"Young man, you're quite impressive…"

With only two people left at the table, Kawasaki Ichiro looked at the young Qin Fang across from him, seemingly seeing his younger self.

In the previous games, Qin Fang displayed all the attributes of a genius. Even Kawasaki Ichiro was willing to concede in certain situations.

Both seemed to have an unspoken understanding not to clash head-on, which was a frustration for He Feifan but left him helpless at the same time.

This impression led Kawasaki Ichiro to no longer resent Qin Fang but rather to admire him.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Facing Kawasaki Ichiro's admiration, Qin Fang responded courteously. He wasn't about to be easily swayed by a simple compliment.

Neither spoke further, as if there was nothing more to communicate. The croupier began dealing cards, and the game continued.

"All-in…"

As soon as two cards were dealt, Qin Fang immediately went all-in without even bothering to look at his hole cards.

Compared to when seven or eight people were involved, a duel between two was much simpler and naturally more intense.

In scenarios like this, going all-in with seven or eight players is unlikely. However, between two players, it's very straightforward.

An all-in determines the winner in one hand; whoever wins or loses becomes clear immediately.

This style of play doesn't rely on skill; it's purely based on one's luck… a common tactic for novices against experts, the simplest method.

Against a novice, a skilled gambler rarely loses; even an extremely lucky novice cannot achieve much. A skilled gambler can use just one hand to negate a novice's prior luck entirely…

However, Qin Fang's direct all-in approach was completely the opposite; relying entirely on luck to counter gambling experts, whether he won or lost was decided in one go.

"PASS!"

Facing such an aggressive tactic from Qin Fang, Kawasaki Ichiro couldn't help but frown, unable to understand why Qin Fang, who clearly had excellent gambling skills, chose to gamble on luck against him.

This is an extremely irrational move!

Not only was Kawasaki Ichiro puzzled, but even He Feifan was quite confused. This was a typical novice strategy, a rogue tactic that posed an unsolvable problem for any gambling expert.

It's like a martial arts duel where one fighter, despite having considerable skill, straps a bomb to themselves, blows it up without a word at the start, and whoever survives the explosion is the winner...

In the first round, Qin Fang went all-in directly, leaving Kawasaki Ichiro with no choice but to fold, as even the initial cards didn't favor him in terms of luck.

"All-in..."

The second round began. This time, Kawasaki Ichiro had a good hand, so he spoke first, but no sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Fang immediately...

"PASS!"

Kawasaki Ichiro frowned, carefully observed Qin Fang, and ended up folding again, while Qin Fang showed a hint of regret and displeasure.

The third round started...

"All-in..."

"PASS!"

Qin Fang continued to go all-in, and Kawasaki Ichiro continued to fold, leading to the same result as the previous two rounds...

Fourth round...

"All-in..."

"PASS!"

Just like before, both were in sync, as long as Qin Fang went all-in, Kawasaki Ichiro would certainly fold, almost forming a fixed pattern.

"What are you trying to do? Is this how you're supposed to play?"

Seeing the fifth round about to start, He Feifan couldn't hold back any longer, whispering quietly to Qin Fang that this playstyle was really too rogue.

This wasn't to blame Kawasaki Ichiro; if it were He Feifan himself, he would have ended the same way against such a rogue playstyle.

But Qin Fang played hand after hand like this, even knowing that in the previous hands, if Kawasaki Ichiro had gone all-in just once, he might have already won against Qin Fang.

It's just a matter of figuring out which hand could win; merely looking at two cards makes it really hard to say, and if chosen wrong, it wouldn't be Qin Fang losing, but Kawasaki Ichiro.

Compared to Qin Fang, Kawasaki Ichiro couldn't afford to lose... So, even though forced to fold hand after hand by Qin Fang's constant all-ins, he wouldn't take that risk.

"Fine, I won't do it again next round..."

Seeing He Feifan's frustration, Qin Fang responded nonchalantly.

The audience below was also quite disdainful; many were already booing him. Although Qin Fang didn't care about these spectators, he had already achieved his goal, and it was time to deal with Kawasaki Ichiro... the act no longer needed to continue.

The game continued, the croupier dealt the cards.

Two cards were dealt, Qin Fang had a 9 of Spades, and Kawasaki Ichiro had a King of Hearts.

"One million..."

Kawasaki Ichiro took a glance at his hole card and immediately tossed out a pile of chips.

"Call..."

This time, as Qin Fang said, he didn't continue to go all-in. Even with a disadvantaged hand, he called without hesitation.

The dealing continued...

Kawasaki Ichiro received a 9 of Hearts, and Qin Fang got a 10 of Spades.

"Two million..."

Without even a slight frown, Kawasaki Ichiro tossed out another two million in chips.

"Call..."

Qin Fang still didn't say much and chose to call again.

The fourth card was dealt, Kawasaki Ichiro's was a Queen of Hearts, while Qin Fang's was a King of Spades.

"This hand is interesting, both have flush potential, but Qin Fang's spades have the edge over Kawasaki Ichiro's hearts..."

Four cards were on the table, and while only the players knew their hole cards, from the cards on display, it seemed Qin Fang was gradually turning his initial disadvantage into an advantage.

With this hand, Qin Fang seemed rather calm, but Kawasaki Ichiro couldn't help but frown slightly. Nonetheless, he casually tossed out another stack of chips. (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com)—your support is my greatest motivation.)
