I Am A Prodigy Chapter 238

The cards were revealed!
"Banker wins!"
Everyone looked at the cards and were at a loss as to what they should say.
Even Lu Tianxiong and his son got all dreamy-eyed. Ye Lingchen bet on the banker for three games in a row, winning all three, and doing so by going all-in every single time!
More than three million was won, and although it was not a big sum, the thrill of it all was just exhilarating.
Thump!
A crisp sound was heard at that moment, alongside a loud clamor. A man had slapped the table and stood up.
The ruckus came from another gambling table. The people sitting opposite that man was Jin Heng and the gambler brought along by the latter.
"You cheater!" The man's face was horrified and he growled, "My card was obviously the Ace of Spades. How did it change!"
"The Ace of Spades is our hole card. Can there possibly be two Ace of Spades in one deck of cards?" The overseas master brought by Jin Heng looked indifferent and showed his hole cards. "There are CCTVs everywhere. There's no opportunity for me to cheat."
At the same time, two bodyguards came to the man and said coldly, "You're out of chips, please leave!"
The man gritted his teeth but did not dare to make a fuss. All he could do was retreat unwillingly.
At that moment, Jin Heng turned his head and smiled casually at Ye Lingchen.
"Damn it. It's still the same. He brought along the same person that can secretly switch cards." Lu Hao said, evidently having lost to them in the past. "Grandmaster Ye, you must be careful if you meet him."
Ye Lingchen nodded his head and stared intently at the overseas gambler who could switch cards with others in silence. Such a gambling technique did not only rely on judgment, memory, and eyesight—it was practically considered sleight-of-hand.
Only those who had practiced gambling techniques to such heights could be considered as reaching the threshold to become a master. That person could then aspire to be crowned the Gambling King.

Barely 10 minutes had passed, yet there were already people being eliminated. At that rate, many raised their guard and focus on minimizing losses.
Jin Heng had won nearly 20 million through the overseas gambler in those 10 minutes alone, in addition to eliminating one person.
The gambler's apprentice Miyako might not have won much, but her tactics were different from Jin Heng's. Because of her reputation, those who gambled with her were doubly careful and would not simply stake it all in one throw. Even so, she raked in wins very quickly, with each opponent losing one to two million by her hands.
Other areas had more or less progressed into the main action. Ye Lingchen's side was the only that that was relatively harmonious, whereby money won or lost did not amount to a great sum.
"Hey kid! You still dare to continue betting on the banker in the fourth game?" The bald man smirked at Ye Lingchen with provocative eyes.
"Yeah, bet on banker if you've got the balls!" the fat man echoed a similar sentiment.
"What's benefit do I get if I continue betting on the banker?" Ye Lingchen looked at them funnily. "On the flip side, you're the ones without any balls. If you're brave enough to go all-in on the player, then I'll be brave enough to go all-in on the banker! Dare to gamble?" "
Everyone was stunned. Traces of indecision flashed through their eyes and they could not help but remain silent.
"Grandmaster Ye, are you planning on going all-in with the banker again?" Lu Hao inhaled sharply, with terror flickering in his eyes.
"From a probability point of view, the chances for the banker to win all four rounds are too small." Lu Tianxiong was also worried. It was pure madness!
"Does Big Boss Lu know a thing or two about probability theory?" Ye Lingchen smiled. "How about I let the both of you gamble?"
Lu Tianxiong and Lu Hao scoffed at once and dared not say anything more.

"Hey, have you guys already thought about it? So cagey of you. Which one of us has no balls, exactly?" Ye Lingchen knocked on the table impatiently. "If you're not brave enough, get lost while you still can!"
"Alright, kid. Let's gamble!"
The bald man stared at Ye Lingchen while speaking. At the conclusion of his sentence, everyone else silently pushed their chips to the player spot.
In their eyes, Ye Lingchen was just a snotty little boy who had an exaggerated opinion of his abilities. His three-game winning streak was dependent on sheer luck. They were not the kind to believe in superstition, so if the fourth game ended with the banker winning, then the boy's luck went beyond all conceivable laws of heaven.
"Go ahead and bet then. You're not scared, are you!" The fat man frowned and urged as he was afraid that Ye Lingchen was beginning to regret it.
Ye Lingchen gestured casually with his hand, prompting the reluctant Lu Hao to push all the chips to the banker's position. It was an ostentatious bet, no doubt.
"Little brat, I've had ten years of experience in casinos. It's impossible that the banker wins all four games consecutively. You're definitely going to lose!" The fat man stared at Ye Lingchen and sneered.
"Quit the nonsense, reveal the cards." Ye Lingchen shrugged noncommittally.
"Banker wins!"
Once the dealer's voice was heard, the fat man lost his voice and froze on the spot. He turned his head to look at the cards and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. How was that even possible?!
"You're cheating!" Unable to take it any longer, the bald man got up and pointed to Ye Lingchen.
With a thoroughly red face, his eyes widened considerably and he began shouting.
By then, there were already ten bodyguards coming over. They gestured to the entire table and signaled the players to leave.
Within that table of 12, the only one who was not eliminated was Ye Lingchen. The other 11 were eliminated in one fell swoop!
"You're out of chips, please leave!" the bodyguard ordered calmly.
"I disagree!" The bald man placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared at Ye Lingchen. "This kid is a cheater!"
"Hehe, what a retard." Ye Lingchen shook his head and stared at the bald man with contempt. "I'm neither the banker nor the player. Tell me, is there any way I can cheat?"
"How is it possible for the banker to win all four rounds if he's not cheating? There's no scientific basis!" the bald man growled.
"I'm lucky." Ye Lingchen downplayed it.
Two bodyguards have already stepped forward to drag the bald man out. Even then he was protesting, "You are a cheater! Otherwise, there's no way you can be so certain of winning by betting on banker! Your kid is a wolf in sheep's clothing! "
The situation there attracted everyone's attention fairly quickly. They could not help themselves from looking at Ye Lingchen. His harmless character, combined with the bald man's parting remarks, made everyone tremble and refrain from looking down on him.
Although the kid did not win much money, he was a formidable player who eliminated all 11 at the same time. Masters like Miyako might not even be able to do that.
Miyako glanced at Ye Lingchen too, but she quickly turned away and continued to win money.
Jin Heng looked at Ye Lingchen with great interest. He always knew that Ye Lingchen was something special considering the boy was invited over by Lu Tianxiong.
"Are you sure he doesn't know how to gamble?" Wei Hong also frowned slightly and asked Meng Jiu.
Meng Jiu did not give a direct answer. Instead, he looked at Ye Lingchen asked somewhat mockingly, "Hey, why not come to our table to try?"
