Yite saw Lai Xiaole leaving Glo, then he went up to Glo and helped him up. This action seemed odd to Lai Xiaole, as these two were supposed to be at odds; why would they act this way?

"I don't need your help, I can stand on my own." Glo pushed Yite away and glared at Lai Xiaole as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

"Hmph, ungrateful. I won't waste my effort." Yite promptly let go, allowing Glo to fall again.

Just now, Lai Xiaole had used hidden strength, a force that would ravage within Glo's body, leaving him powerless for a while. Without Lai Xiaole's unique remedy, he wouldn't be able to stand for quite some time.

"Bastard, come help me." Seeing that Yite indeed wasn't coming to aid him, Glo couldn't help but curse.

"Hmph, I told you, you need my help to get up." Yite then helped Glo up again, "You owe me another favor."

"Help me deal with him, and I'll owe you another favor." At this point, Glo and Yite seemed like old friends negotiating with each other.

Yite glanced at Lai Xiaole and then shook his head, saying to Glo, "Him? I can't handle him, unless with a gun."

"Your skills are not bad." Park Ji walked up to Lai Xiaole and faced him, praising him. But his face still showed no expression, like ice that hadn't melted in a thousand years.

"Thanks." Lai Xiaole glanced at the other person indifferently, seeing him as someone he couldn't read, and if such a person was an enemy, he'd be quite dangerous!

"Alright, can everyone sit down and continue?" Yan Susu saw everyone stopped and then slipped into the role of the croupier, beginning to take up her responsibility.

"Glo, what's wrong? You seem a bit off?" As Yite helped Glo up, he noticed Glo's body trembling and thus showed his concern.

"That kid's technique is peculiar." Glo said this only after enduring much pain.

Originally, Glo didn't care much about the hidden strength Lai Xiaole used on him, thinking it was just in a small area, but now it was spreading throughout his body, causing his face to change.

When he looked at Lai Xiaole, it was as if he saw a demon from legends.

"You, what did you do to him?" Yite pointed at Lai Xiaole, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"Nothing, just let him experience some pain. If he's willing to apologize to the beautiful Miss Yan here, I can relieve his pain immediately." Lai Xiaole said, thinking to himself that he hadn't used the acupuncture skill to seal his entire body, which was already kind; if he pushed any further, there wouldn't be such a good outcome.

"Apologize? Dream on!" Glo stubbornly refused, but after a breath, he gasped, "Bastard, it hurts too much, is this Chinese kung fu?"

"Exactly, it's Chinese kung fu. If you don't apologize, the pain will intensify later, you know?" Lai Xiaole kindly reminded him.

Seeing this stranger punish Glo on her behalf, a strange feeling rose in Yan Susu's heart. Who was this person? Why was he treating her this way? Had she met him before?

But after a closer look at Lai Xiaole, Yan Susu confirmed that this person wasn't anyone she remembered.

Still, this didn't stop Yan Susu from casting a grateful glance toward Lai Xiaole.

At this time, Yite said something softly into Glo's ear, calming Glo, who, leaning on Yite, said to Lai Xiaole, "Fine, for your sake, I'll apologize to this lady, but I'll settle this score with you later, just wait."

Then, Glo indeed apologized to Yan Susu.

Afterward, under the incredulous gazes of everyone, Lai Xiaole walked to Glo, casually tapped a few spots on his body, and Glo relaxed, forgetting the agony moments ago, which was a truly memorable experience and left him wary of Lai Xiaole.

But recalling what Yite had spoken earlier, Glo couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

"Alright, return to your seats; the game resumes." Restored, Yan Susu became calm again. Lai Xiaole admired her composed demeanor now, remembering how she seemed uneasy when he first saw her as the croupier at the table. Now, such a situation was completely absent, which was truly astonishing for a young girl to adapt so quickly.

"Earlier, Mr. Glo raised by two million, right?"

"Yes, two million." Glo said, glaring at Lai Xiaole.

"Alright, I'll follow with two million and raise by five million more." Lai Xiaole declared confidently.

This move of Lai Xiaole's surprised everyone, though there was no exception since earlier, Lai Xiaole stopped midway to exchange chips, showing this confidence wouldn't come without cause.

"I'll call." Glo gritted his teeth, saying it.

"I'll call too." Park Ji said nonchalantly.

"Alright, deal the fifth card." Yan Susu said, dealing another card to everyone.

This card was hidden and could only be seen by the individual.

Currently, the visible cards were:

Lai Xiaole had a Spade King, Diamond King, and a Spade 10.

Park Ji had a Club Jack, Club 9, and a Club Queen.

Glo had a Heart Ace, Heart 2, and a Club Ace.

It was Glo's turn to speak again.

Glo pushed all his chips forward, shouting "All in!"

Earlier, he mentioned he had 30 million in chips, and after following Lai Xiaole's 5 million, he had 25 million remaining, which he pushed all at once without hesitation.

Park Ji also pushed all his chips forward without batting an eye. His chips were about the same amount as Glo's.

Lai Xiaole chuckled lightly, calculated the same amount of chips, and tossed them in.

Yan Susu looked at the large pile of chips on the table, with no unusual reaction in her eyes. As a croupier, she remembered she was just that, no matter how much wealth accumulated on the table, it wasn't hers.

Now, with all the chips displayed, it was the final moment.

Yite, who had folded on the second card, couldn't help but gape, thinking it was too crazy—going all in on the first round?

"Alright, open the cards." Glo rubbed his hands continuously in front of him, feeling as if his wallet would swell again.

"Alright, reveal yours first. Show us what kind of hand made you so confident." Lai Xiaole said to Glo.

Glo chuckled, "Not an amazing hand, just three Aces," flipping over his two hidden cards: one Spade Ace, one Heart 4. This combination wasn't bad in poker.

Park Ji also revealed his cards, "Straight."

His hidden cards were a Diamond 10 and a Club King.

Seeing Park Ji's hand, Glo was dumbfounded. He didn't expect his seemingly good hand to lose right in front of Park Ji.

Yite exclaimed, "Too crazy! In this round, there are nonstop good hands."

Then he looked at Lai Xiaole, wondering what kind of cards he would reveal.

Lai Xiaole saw the two's reactions and maintained a calm expression, then flipped his cards: a Heart King and a Heart 10, sitting quietly.

"A full house with three Kings and a pair of 10s!"

All three shouted in disbelief as they looked at Lai Xiaole, shocked by his impressive hand.

"Who would've thought we'd lose to a novice? Jones must've lied to us; he's not a newbie!" Glo leapt up, shouting and pointing at Lai Xiaole.

"Haha, don't be afraid to admit it, I really am a newbie." Lai Xiaole smiled harmlessly, saying to Glo.

Yite looked at Lai Xiaole in disbelief, then told Glo, "Don't say another word. I'm sure he's really a novice because we've been to so many casinos and never seen anyone like him. If someone as good as him existed, we would've known."

Glo nodded in agreement with Yite, saying, "Yite, it's up to you now. We've lost all our money; you must take the edge off him, or how else will you participate in the God of Gamblers contest?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Yite looked at Lai Xiaole, saying, "Mr. Lai, I must say, you're a rare opponent, and today I've witnessed it. Next, do you mind if it's just the two of us playing?"
