Chapter 90: Cheating? Infighting? Nothing But A Joke Before The King Of Luck!
Buzz!
Black energy surged from the Bunny-Girl Ghost's hands as a deck of cards materialized from thin air.
It fixed Jiang Nan with a cold, venomous stare and prepared to shuffle.
"Hold on."
Just then, Piano raised her hand, a fake smile plastered across her face.
"I want to inspect the cards."
The Bunny-Girl Ghost was momentarily stunned, but this was the most basic rule of any casino—it had no grounds to refuse.
"Of course."
It pushed the deck across.
The Bank Ghost and Thief Ghost on the opposite side immediately bristled.
Their expressions twisted as they raged internally.
'Damn it! This woman is up to something again!'
'Last time she used a card inspection to pull a cheat! She's definitely running the same trick!'
However, they had no proof, and could only watch helplessly as Piano pressed her hand down onto the deck.
At that moment.
Piano was grinning, appearing to casually examine the cards.
In reality, she was unleashing her prized S-Grade Ability—【Hat Trick!】
'Hehehe… dead rabbit, planning to deal the Big Joker to him, are you?'
'Watch me swap it into a "3"!'
Piano's fingers flew across the card faces with blinding speed.
Buzz!
In her field of vision, the card representing the supreme prize—the Big Joker.
Its face warped in an instant, transforming into a perfectly ordinary 3!
This was S-Grade Ability【Hat Trick!】.
【Disguise】—it could disguise any object as whatever she imagined when viewed through her eyes, though the object itself remained physically unchanged.
【Swap】—the moment two such objects coexisted on the field simultaneously, for instance, a real 3 and a Big Joker disguised as a 3, a single touch was all she needed to complete a conceptual-level exchange!
Get whichever one she wanted!
And furthermore…
As a precaution, she had tampered with the other cards as well.
Little Joker ⇋ 4
2 ⇋ 5
A ⇋ 6
K ⇋ 7
Q ⇋ 8
J ⇋ 9
10 unchanged.
In short, from everyone else's perspective, the card rankings were completely reversed!
But the cards themselves hadn't actually changed at all!
Only when the cards were revealed during the comparison would this visual deception dissolve upon her release.
'And the one weakness of this ability is that the target must be within my field of vision, and I must hold the corresponding card in my hand before I can execute the swap.'
'But this time… with this Bunny-Girl Ghost here trying to rig things, all the good cards are definitely going to that pretty boy!'
'I just need to wait for my moment to reap the harvest! Hehehe!'
Piano slid the deck back with full confidence.
"Nothing wrong with the cards."
"We can begin."
The Bank Ghost and Thief Ghost glared at her with unblinking intensity.
They knew this woman could alter cards, but had no idea of the specific mechanics.
The two ghosts exchanged a glance and gave each other a silent nod.
Old routine—work in tandem!
As for Jiang Nan…
He looked rather impatient.
He hated this kind of drawn-out, fiddling process.
Smack!
He casually reached over and slapped the Bunny-Girl Ghost on its fishnet-stockinged backside.
He left a sticky note on it in passing.
【Hurry up!】
【I'm busy.】
"!!"
Both ghosts and one human were dumbstruck.
‘What the—?!’
‘Playing like that right in front of us?!’
‘There's definitely some back-channel deal going on!’
All the good cards are definitely going to him!
Both ghosts made up their minds to target Jiang Nan.
As long as they could steal the good cards from his hand, they would win!
And the Bunny-Girl Ghost at this point was absolutely livid.
It could have ruled Jiang Nan in violation on the spot and chopped him up right there.
But it felt…
That would be letting him off too easy!
'Watching him lose every coin he has and then beg on his knees… now that's more interesting!'
'By then… I'll personally chop his hands off! Mount them as a specimen!'
The Bunny-Girl Ghost suppressed its fury and began to shuffle.
Piano let out a cold snort and bit her finger.
'Hmph! No wonder this pretty boy dares to play this big—turns out he has a ghost backing him!'
'But in front of the Daughter of the Gambling God of Frankish Nation… that's still not enough!'
……
One minute later…
The Bunny-Girl Ghost began to deal.
First was Jiang Nan.
Swoosh!
A card cloaked in black energy fell before him.
'Damned human, since you won't take this lady's Jade Feet, I'll make sure your hand is nothing but trash!'
Charged with the Bunny-Girl Ghost's resentment, this was without question a 3!
However, what it didn't know was……
Under Piano's【Hat Trick】 effect.
The "3" in its eyes was actually a disguised 【Big Joker】.
Shielded by that black energy, one would have to press their eye right against the card to read its face.
Even so, Jiang Nan didn't look.
He pressed the card face-down on the table, crossed his arms, and didn't spare it a single glance.
‘Sorry, I've got Strong Luck.’
‘Do whatever you want.’
He then directly closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and went to sleep!
"……"
Both ghosts and one human stared in stupefaction.
That arrogant?!
'Exactly what I thought! That Bunny-Girl Ghost definitely dealt him the Big Joker! That's why he can be this brazen!'
Piano laughed.
She was certain the Bunny-Girl Ghost had dealt the Big Joker to Jiang Nan, but in reality…
That was just a 3!
'Hahahaha! The Big Joker you think you have is actually the biggest piece of trash on the table!'
Next.
Piano flipped her own card—a 10.
'Not bad. Even though it can't be swapped, 10 itself is not small either. Acceptable.'
Then came the two ghosts.
The Bank Ghost drew a Q and was delighted.
The Thief Ghost drew a 4, its face instantly turning darker than its own complexion.
‘Does luck really have to be this foul?!’
‘That damned rabbit is definitely targeting me!’
‘Trying to curry favour with that pretty boy!’
The Bank Ghost signalled with its eyes to stay calm.
‘Bear it! Wait till the third round—that's when we make our move and swap the cards!’
……
Soon, the second round of dealing arrived.
The Bunny-Girl Ghost exerted its influence again.
Jiang Nan received a 6 without question.
Piano started biting her finger, because the card she received was a J!
'Damn it… I didn't sense the presence of a 9! Can't swap!'
But it didn't matter!
She looked toward the two ghosts.
'I beat them last time, they definitely hold a grudge against me, they'll swap the bad cards onto me…'
'That's when I swoop in as the fisherman who profits!'
However.
She hadn't anticipated that the ghosts' thinking was completely different from hers.
From start to finish, they had never considered targeting Piano—instead choosing to bully the weaker target out of envy and spite.
At this moment.
The Bank Ghost received a K.
The Thief Ghost received a 5.
The Thief Ghost's fury reached its peak.
Staring at the 4 and 5 in its hands, it clenched its fists, went completely red with rage, and fixed its glare on the Bunny-Girl Ghost.
One ghost going pitch-black in the face—its neck was now redder than any red-neck on record.
"Discrimination! This is blatant racial discrimination!!"
"This damned rabbit clearly looks down on my noble complexion!!"
And just as it suspected.
The Bunny-Girl Ghost shot it a disdainful sidelong glance.
Evidently, being the appearance-obsessed type that it was, it despised this dark ghost—which was why it had been dealing it garbage from the start.
The Bank Ghost placated its teammate again: "Don't get angry! Hold it together! Next round we take out that pretty boy!"
Finally, the third round of dealing.
The Bunny-Girl Ghost had originally intended to exert its influence one more time.
But on second thought, that would be too obvious.
So under its meticulous calculation.
This time it dealt Jiang Nan a 2.
Likewise, it didn't target the dark ghost again either—a complaint filed against it was no trivial matter.
So it simply dealt it a Big Joker straight up, letting it slam down in front of Jiang Nan.
That way Jiang Nan would lose all his money!
When the time came, he definitely wouldn't be able to repay the mortgaged loan, and she could buy him up herself!
'You actually dared to reject this lady's Jade Feet—I'll have you sleeping with them in your mouth every single night!'
The Bunny-Girl Ghost raged internally.
At this moment, Jiang Nan's hand was: 3, 6, 2.
Absolutely trash from top to bottom!
But he couldn't care less—or rather, he hadn't even looked. He was still asleep.
Piano, on the other hand, was overjoyed, because she had drawn the Little Joker!
And furthermore, she sensed the presence of a 4 and a 9! She could swap!
But just at that moment.
Buzz!
The cards in her hand suddenly changed!
The original Little Joker, J, 10 all vanished, replaced by K, Q, 9!
"!"
She snapped her gaze toward the Bank Ghost.
At that moment, the Bank Ghost was wearing a sinister smile.
Obviously, it was its doing!
The final round—the Bank Ghost had activated Dispatch Management, scrambling everyone's cards out of order!
Seat 1 (Jiang Nan) swapped with Seat 4 (Thief Ghost)!
Seat 2 (Piano) swapped with Seat 3 (Bank Ghost)!
And the Thief Ghost?
It had received the trash hand that originally belonged to Jiang Nan.
But it didn't know the truth yet, and was still grinning wickedly.
"Hehehe!"
'When that damned newcomer sees that his "good cards" have ended up in my hands, what kind of face will he make?'
However.
When it flipped its cards open, it froze on the spot.
3… 6… 2.
"???"
‘What kind of garbage hand is this?!’
‘Even with a 2 in there, this is still rubbish!’
Instantly, the look it turned on the Bank Ghost became anything but calm.
'Could it be this mongrel rigged things? Stabbed me in the back?'
The Bank Ghost felt the stare and responded with a smile.
As if to say: 'Brother, how's that? Masterful move on my part, yeah?'
The Thief Ghost had only one thing it wanted to say back.
‘Masterful my arse! Go screw yourself!’
‘What good are these garbage cards?!’
The Bank Ghost read the look in its eyes.
‘I busted my arse helping you, and you're cursing me for it! ‘
‘Are you actually this shameless?!’
‘Fine, I'm cursing you right back!’
‘You're a bloody idiot! What are you gonna do about it?!’
The Thief Ghost refused to be outdone, and the two ghosts traded curses through their glares alone!
Their fair-weather brotherhood developed a crack at that very moment.
And Piano was just about ready to explode with rage.
The worst-case scenario had still come to pass!
The hand she was now holding was K, Q, 9.
And she couldn't sense the real K and Q at all!
Only J was detectable!
While it wasn't terrible, it was absolutely not enough for first place!
'Damn it! Why is today of all days so wretched!'
'And this dead ghost—swapping such a middling, neither-here-nor-there hand onto me!'
'Next round… watch how I deal with you!'
……
Right at that moment.
The Thief Ghost finally couldn't hold back—it made its move!
It activated Swap Under Heaven!
It had lost all trust in the Bank Ghost. A total falling-out!
It decided to handle things itself and reap its own rewards!
Target: Jiang Nan!
'The Big Joker… it has to still be with this man!'
'That dead rabbit definitely dealt him nothing but good cards!'
A dark hand materialized.
It felt around among the three cards lying face-down in front of Jiang Nan, picked one at random.
Swapped its own 3 with that card from Jiang Nan!
"Hehehe!!"
The Thief Ghost laughed.
This round was in the bag!
It then eagerly sneaked a peek at the card it had taken.
‘Big Joker!!’
"NICE!!"
The Thief Ghost nearly leapt out of its seat!
It looked down on everyone present through its nostrils, as if to say: "Who else?!!"
'Big Joker! 2! 6! How am I supposed to lose with this hand?!!'
However.
What it didn't know was.
This Big Joker was actually…
Its own original card!
Dealt to it by the Bunny-Girl Ghost in the third round!
Assuming it would be the same garbage as the previous two rounds, it hadn't bothered to look.
But what it hadn't anticipated was!
The Bunny-Girl Ghost hadn't targeted it that last time!
It had been shuffled into Jiang Nan's hand by the Bank Ghost's earlier Dispatch Management play.
And what it knew even less…
Was that this "Big Joker" was actually a 3 disguised by Piano!
The Bank Ghost was also fuming.
In its eyes, the Thief Ghost was an ungrateful fool!
It had swapped good cards over to it, and the wretch had the audacity to curse it in return!
And just at that moment.
【Reveal cards!】
The Bunny-Girl Ghost lifted the placard and announced coldly.
Opposite to the dealing order, the Thief Ghost went first.
It slammed its cards down onto the table with complete confidence.
Then spread both arms wide, like a champion welcoming victory!
"Tremble before me, mortals!!"
However…
What greeted it was the laughter of the entire table.
"Pfft… HAHAHAHAHA!!"
The Bank Ghost, Piano, and even the Bunny-Girl Ghost all burst out laughing.
The Thief Ghost stared at the table in disbelief.
There, those three cards…
Had unmistakably become 3, 5, A!
Total: 22 points!
The Big Joker had reverted to a 3, the 2 had reverted to a 5, and the 6 had reverted to an A.
"How… how is this possible?!"
The Thief Ghost's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
Its entire scheme had collapsed completely!
Next came the Bank Ghost.
It revealed its cards with full confidence, certain it was holding Little Joker, J, 10.
A strong contender for the win by all appearances.
However.
The cards read: 4, 9, 10.
Total: 23 points.
Its eyes went wide too!
It had only beaten that wretched Thief Ghost by a single point?!
Now it was Piano's turn to laugh.
She laughed at the sight of these two fools being played in circles by her Hat Trick!
She revealed her hand: 7, 8, J.
Total: 26 points!
"Hmph! Two useless wastes!"
Piano was absolutely smug.
But……
The very next second.
The smiles of both ghosts and one human vanished simultaneously.
They abruptly realised something.
In a standard deck of cards, no card appears twice.
Which meant…
The truly high-value cards…
Where had they gone?
Every eye in the room instantly locked onto the man who had been sleeping this entire time.
Jiang Nan slowly opened his eyes.
With utter casualness, he nudged the three cards in front of him face-down onto their sides.
Splash.
The cards flipped open.
【Big Joker】 【Little Joker】 【2】
Rocket with a 2!
Unrivalled under heaven!
A perfect closed loop!
Even the Bunny-Girl Ghost was dumbstruck. It had clearly dealt him such wretched cards.
Why was this man still winning?
Jiang Nan stood up, stretched lazily, and once again casually gave its backside a smack in passing.
And tossed out a sticky note.
【I told you. You can't beat me.】
