Chapter 455 Good Cobra

The sky was gradually darkening.

Inside a private room at the Cobra Diamond Casino.

Qi Ming quickly lifted a corner of three playing cards on the table, a smile playing on his lips, before quickly slamming them down again.

The cards were dealt so quickly that even Ai Haibara, who was sitting on Qi Ming's lap, didn't see them clearly.

What brand is it?

Ai Haibara asked Qi Ming curiously.

This was a private room, and although Ai Haibara's voice was very soft, everyone could hear it clearly.

Upon hearing Ai Haibara's voice, everyone's gaze turned to Qi Ming.

With such a confident smile, what kind of card does he have?

Qi Ming glanced at Ai Haibara, and the voice echoed in his mind.

"I don't know, I dunked too fast and I didn't see it clearly."

"Also, please turn on voice communication. Don't let my current expert demeanor be ruined."

"..."

Are you crazy?!

Can you win without looking at your cards?

Hearing Ai Haibara's sarcastic remark, Qi Ming replied in his mind with a hint of annoyance.

"You don't know anything. I call this enjoying the purest form of competition, and I have a feeling I'm going to win this hand."

"...Really? Did you win anything today? Are you lucky with your bets?"

Hearing Ai Haibara's three consecutive questions, Qi Ming replied indifferently.

"It's alright, with you sitting here like a little lucky cat, it's hard for me to lose."

"What lucky cat?!"

Ai Haibara glanced at Qi Ming with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

When two players are high-attacking but low-defense and have no counter-attack, whoever goes second will be at a disadvantage.

However, after thinking for a moment, Qi Ming still took a serious look at the cards.

This is the last game today, I have to win at least once.

Then the cards in my hand are—

Pointy?!

"What the hell?"

Even Qi Ming was somewhat surprised to see the cards in his hand.

I was originally planning to open the betting pool, but I didn't expect to get such a perfect hand this time.

"No way?"

Ai Haibara also saw Qi Ming's card this time, and covered her mouth in slight surprise.

"Although I have no interest in money, I do regret not having hugged you earlier. Your golden ratio is quite high, little lucky cat."

Ai Haibara naturally didn't think it was her doing, and stared at Qi Ming's eyes suspiciously.

Are you sure you didn't turn it on?

"As for trust between people, I never cheat."

"..."

Qi Ming slammed the cards down, his smile even more arrogant than before.

Seeing that everyone had already looked at their cards, the dealer looked at Qi Ming and asked.

"Sir, what do you say?"

"All in! All in!"

The dealer bowed somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sir, our game doesn't have the concept of 'all-in'."

"I don't care what you have or don't have, I'm going all in."

Qi Ming pushed the chips forward and then looked at the surrounding gamblers.

"...Alright everyone, I'll just say I have a straight, you guys are never going to stop now."

The gamblers who were initially hesitant to play after receiving good cards began to have their eyes flicker again upon hearing Qi Ming's words.

He actually revealed his hand so easily; what a sucker!

Without further hesitation, several gamblers, after a moment's hesitation, also pushed out their chips.

"All in, huh? I hate it when people say 'all in' in front of me. I'm betting!"

"I followed suit too."

"I... I think I'll pass."

The croupier swallowed hard.

The stakes these people are offering represent the entire lives of so many people.

"Okay, everyone, please reveal your cards."

Upon hearing the dealer's statement, everyone revealed their cards.

However, before they could even see their cards clearly, a sound came from the doorway.

dong dong——

The gamblers glanced at the door with some displeasure, then turned to look at the dealer.

The dealer smiled apologetically at everyone, then walked to the door with a stern face.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a middle-aged man in black standing outside. Her pupils contracted slightly, and her expression immediately became obsequious.

"Um, old..."

"Needless to say."

The middle-aged man in black waved his hand to stop the dealer from speaking. After scanning the room with everyone in the private room, he smiled and spoke.

"Excuse me for disturbing you all, but we have discovered some fire hazards at the casino today, so we have to clear the premises. This game is void, and please leave as soon as possible."

"The end? Are you kidding me? It's just a fire hazard, what's the big deal?"

One of the gamblers immediately became anxious.

He got a great hand, JQK, invincible, right?

You just say it's over and then it's over? Why are you going to pay me back the chips I won?

Before he could even express his anger, he inadvertently caught sight of Qi Ming's three obvious sharp points.

His previously angry expression instantly turned serious, and the gambler spoke earnestly to the man in black.

"Sir, I think dealing with fire hazards is the most important thing. It's a matter of life and death. Let's go now."

The other gamblers also noticed Qi Ming's incredible hand and nodded in agreement.

Now it was Qi Ming who was unhappy.

"Are you out of your mind? I've won so much and you just want to end it all? I think you have a death wish..."

Before Qi Ming could finish speaking, the man in black said with a smile on his face.

"Sir, our casino is willing to compensate you tenfold for your losses in this betting game."

"Ahem, that was an inverted sentence. I was saying you really know what's good for you."

Hearing this, Qi Ming was pleased and returned the smile to the man in black.

The man in black was about to nod in response, but he felt that Qi Ming's smile was somewhat creepy.

He was somewhat baffled that he would have such a thought, but he quickly did some mental preparation for himself.

It's understandable that you might find the other person creepy.

After all, the other person will be dead soon.

The man in black sneered inwardly.

I'll pay you tenfold compensation; I'll burn it for you after you die.

It was one thing for them to cause trouble at their venues in the past, but I never expected that they would actually team up with the police to cause trouble now.

Although their organization said they wouldn't pursue the matter after the python incident, this person walked right into their trap, and they had to make them pay the price.

Alas, it's a pity that the old woman didn't come; otherwise, he could have helped the python get revenge.

"Go and exchange these guests' chips and then see them off."

The man in black glanced at the dealer, and after the dealer led the group away, he smiled at Qi Ming, closed the door, and sat down opposite Qi Ming.

"And sir, I have something else I'd like to discuss with you."

Qi Ming raised an eyebrow, looking at the man in black with a half-smile.

"Oh? Cobra, just say what you want to say."

Cobra, who was originally planning to introduce himself, gradually lost his smile when Qi Ming stole his lines.

"you know me?"

"I don't know you, but that doesn't stop me from getting to know you."

Qi Ming waved his hand.

"But we haven't met before, have we? It seems like you know me?"

Actually, I've never met you before.

The cobra shook his head and said in a deep voice.

“But I know that you caused trouble here when the python was in power. Of course, I also know that you are very capable.”

Qi Ming clapped his hands in sudden realization.

"Python? Oh, you mean python sauce?"

Python, python sauce?!

The cobra's rage was like a volcano about to erupt.

Provocation, this is a naked provocation!

He really wanted to pull out his gun and kill Qi Ming right then and there, but he also knew that he couldn't take down Qi Ming by himself.

But it's alright, he doesn't need to play with Qi Ming directly at all.

"Aren't you curious why I would come looking for you even though I know you're very capable?"

Qi Ming thought for a moment, then looked at Cobra with a puzzled expression and answered.

"Because you want to die?"

"..."

Cobra glared at Qi Ming, then pulled a revolver from his pocket.

"I want to play a game with you."

Cobra chuckled coldly, pulling out his phone from his pocket and opening a surveillance camera feed.

"I'd like you to take a look at this."

"what's that?"

Qi Ming picked up his phone and looked at it, and Ai Haibara also craned her neck to take a curious look.

Then the two of them were shocked.

The screen showed two people, Amuro Tooru and Yamada Keigo, each tied to a chair.
