One member of the four-person team was killed.
Although Henry's tragic outcome was caused by his own insistence, seeing a fellow explorer turned into a soul bargaining chip in front of him still caused a huge mental impact on Sean and Catherine.
Sean felt his whole body become cold, and he had to try his best to control his hands from shaking slightly.
However, at this time, Moonlight was still immersed in playing. He closed his eyes and played seriously, without looking back and not caring about what was happening behind him.
"Let's go ahead, Mr. Misty." Jock spread his hands to Sean.
Sean came to his senses.
Although Henry is dead, things have progressed to this point and the investigation is bound to continue.
Sean forced himself to calm down, clasped his hands and said, "Before continuing, Mr. Jock, I have something to ask you."
"Say it."
"Previously, there were many incidents of missing organs of gang members on Thirteenth Avenue in New York City. Did they lose their organs because they gambled with you?"
"Gambler Jock" nodded very simply: "That's right - because they are all prominent figures in New Testament City, and I do feel bored, so in order to pass the time, I gave these people who voluntarily came to Undercurrent Street I have some privileges - you can bet against me directly without going through the previous gambling test..."
"I understand." Sean nodded.
The answers Bill wants to know are right in front of him - the culprit of the Thirteenth Avenue cold case has been found.
But how to deal with the current situation?
After the gambling just now, Sean still has more than 70 chips on hand.
But Jock had more than 240.
Not to mention that there is still a considerable gap in poker skills, Sean's chip stack is at a huge disadvantage...
Sean knew that if he wanted to take Catherine and Moonlight out, this bargaining chip would definitely not be enough...
"It's hard to win..." Sean felt cold in his heart and clenched his hands, "But I have to win...
"What else can be done?"
Sean, who was still thinking about countermeasures, suddenly felt the Explorer Poker attached to his inner pocket vibrate a few times.
Then, there were continuous vibrations.
That's the Moore code used by explorers to communicate using poker. Sean can quickly translate vibrations into sentences.
After some shock, he suddenly regained some confidence...
"Go on, Mr. Jock."
Jock sat up straighter with great satisfaction.
The hard-faced dealer continued to deal cards.
Over the next few rounds, Sean began to incorporate the techniques he learned from Henry into gambling. He found that he could already smoothly read everything that was going on at the poker table. However, he still hasn't discovered the possibility of conquering Jock with his card skills.
Frank said before that Jock is the strongest poker player in the world, including the depths of the world - this is true.
No matter what cards are in his hand, he can completely control his emotions and accurately grasp the losses and profits of each game. This kind of precision is like having the ability to predict.
Sean believes that every decision made by Jock has reached the ultimate level that a poker player can achieve.
His bluffs are completely invisible to his opponents.
When he sees through the opponent's bluff, he is like a piercing eye.
When he gets the enemy card, he can stop the loss at the most reasonable time.
When you lose, you lose the least; when you win, you win the most.
Simply a perfect poker player...
However, Sean suppressed him next and won back a lot of chips from his hand.
Moreover, at this moment, Sean is confident that he can defeat the world's top poker player.
The most astute poker players have discovered some clues. Something weird is happening on the field.
Sean's card skills are indeed gradually improving, but he is not yet ready to crush Jock... However, his performance at this time seems to be able to completely see through Jock's hand!
No one knows that the Explorer poker in Sean's pocket is constantly vibrating, telling Sean the cards in Jock's hand.
And the one who uses spiritual power to vibrate the Explorer's playing cards is the one who has been turning his back to Jock, the gambler, and has been playing the piano with great concentration, seemingly unaware of the development of the gambling game behind him - Moonlight.
His eyes were closed most of the time as he was immersed in the melody. Only occasionally would he open his eyes, but he seemed to be immersed in the music.
No one would know that when he opened his eyes, his sight passed through the raised lid of the grand piano, and through the reflection on the glass window behind the piano, he peeked at the hand of cards that Jock raised in an instant...
From the beginning, Moonlight was not just about playing the piano. For the final victory, he had already laid an ambush for himself.
He is much cunning and wiser than he looks...
The Explorer Poker was vibrating again, and Sean silently translated the vibration frequency: "The opponent's cards are, 7 of clubs and ace of hearts..."
All the river cards have appeared, and the final round of betting is over.
Jock wanted to bluff Sean again. He didn't even have a pair, but he kept following the heavy bet until the last round. There were already more than 60 chips in the betting pool.
"I have to reverse the situation as soon as possible, I have to resolve the battle as soon as possible..." Sean no longer has much confidence in facing Jock in a head-on poker showdown. Moreover, the fact that Moonlight was peeking at Jock's hand could be exposed at any time, so he could only find the right opportunity to quickly resolve the battle.
And that opportunity is now. Sean pushed all his chips into the pool: "All in."
He was banking on Jock calling the bet. In this way, although he cannot win all of Jock's chips in this round and achieve complete victory, he can still win a considerable number of chips. After that, his chip amount will exceed Jock's.
Jock looked at Sean who was standing still. He was a little shocked at first, and then laughed: "Misty, you are not like your mask. Not only can you be seen through easily, you are also an easy poker player...
"I, follow the bet!"
Fell into a trap! Sean's heart was beating wildly! He will achieve the biggest victory in this game so far!
Jock turned over his hole cards, an Ace of Hearts and an Ace of Clubs.
Pair A is bigger than Sean's Pair J.
"What's going on?" Sean sat in shock, watching Jock take away all his chips.
"You must be thinking about what's going on, right?" The evil spirit player smiled viciously, "'His hand is obviously the 7 of clubs and the ace of hearts, how come the 7 of clubs turned into the ace of clubs'?!"
Jock arrogantly imitated a sad, confused and angry tone: "Did my companion, the pianist who kept peeking at the cards behind Jock, read the cards wrong?!"
With a bang, Yueguang was dragged out of the piano bench by a huge force.
Jock squeezed Yueguang's throat tightly from the air. The pianist's neck was pinched with deep fingerprints. The moonlight was struggling in the air, and his hands seemed to be imprisoned and unable to lift them.
"Oh, damn little mouse..." Jock gritted his teeth viciously and stared at the moonlight with disgust, "How dare you help me cheat on my bet...
"Little mouse, although you play the piano well. But unfortunately, there is only one way for cheaters."
"That's death!"
Jock's hand holding Yueguang's neck suddenly became distinctly knuckled, and Sean could even hear the squeaking sound of his knuckles due to the sudden increase in strength.
