Chapter 215 I’ve Won This Game
The other tourists were smart enough to stop playing. They all knew what Tony Stark was like.
It was much more fun to watch a game between a rich guy and a poor lad than to be part of it.
The bodyguard dealt again.
Two minutes later, Tony grew impatient. “Five hundred dollars every time? How long do you want to play this game?”
He and Luke had won similar times in the past few rounds, and the amount of chips they had hadn’t changed very much.
Luke asked, “Is there a rule here that the bet has to be higher than five hundred dollars?”
Tony was rendered speechless.
Five hundred dollars a round was quite high, even in Las Vegas; most tourists bet much less.
While Tony was rich, he certainly couldn’t make up random rules for the casino.
Tony said, “This is too slow. Let’s go bigger. One million each time.”
Luke shook his head. “I don’t have that much money.”
Tony said, “Then just play with all the money you have.”
Luke chuckled. “Why would I? If I leave now, I can take more than twenty thousand dollars with me. That’s half of my annual salary.”
Tony realized that it made sense, so he offered, “I’ll take your chips as twice their
value.”
Luke thought for a moment and asked, “But there should be a limit, right? I’m too busy to play the entire night with you. After all, you’ve got too much money to lose.”
Everybody secretly whispered, You’re telling a billionaire that you’re busy?
This boy didn’t know what he was doing!
Tony’s expression was pretty dark. I’ve got too much money to lose? Are you sure you’re going to win?
“Let’s play for ten minutes?” said Tony.

Luke shook his head again. “Ten minutes? If your bodyguard deals faster, we can play five to ten rounds. You’re asking me to bet with all my chips in every round, so if I lose just once, I lose everything. Do you think I’m an idiot?”
Tony was lost for words again. He was so eager to humiliate Luke that he had overlooked that. “How do you want to play it then?”
Luke said, “A million. Once I win over a million dollars, our game’s over.”
Tony thought for a moment. Following this rule, the game would be over if Luke won three to five times in a row.
“Fine.” Tony still decided to go ahead in the end. He was too lazy to check how much money Luke had.
Luke tossed his bank card onto the table and said to a hotel manager, “I’d like to state that the money on this card is for the upcoming game with Mr. Tony Stark. You can keep the card first and calculate the result when the game is over, okay?”
The manager didn’t immediately take it, but looked at Tony.
Both parties had to agree to the game for it to start.
Tony said impatiently, “That’s fine with me. I’m not scared that he’ll run away with his debt.”
The manager bowed and backed away with the bank card.
Then, the bodyguard dealt the cards.
Luke secretly laughed at his card, which was a K. He put his hand on his hidden card, as if he was studying it, then simply stood up. “Alright, I’ve won.”
Saying that, he approached the manager and said, “Transfer the money I won to my card. Also, issue me an income certificate, okay?”
The certificate was necessary since he had won quite a lot of money; without it, Internal Affairs Division would come knocking on his door.

“What?” The hotel manager was dumbfounded.
Tony Stark frowned. “What are you doing?”
Smiling, Luke pointed at his card and said, “Your card isn’t a A, K, Q, J or a ten, so it’s impossible for you to even reach a draw. You can take a look at my card for yourself, but of course, you can always refuse to pay.”
Tony was lost for words. How much money do you think you have? You think I can’t pay?
He gestured at Happy, and the fat bodyguard turned over Luke’s hidden card.
It was an A!
Blackjack! Double odds!
The audience all exclaimed. That was too freaky!
The poor lad got a blackjack in the first round against the magnate. It was like a slap to Tony Stark’s face.
Tony’s expression couldn’t be any more unsightly. He had the hotel manager check the balance on Luke’s bank card.
The hotel manager hurriedly had a security guard take out a POS machine, only to be dumbfounded himself.
Silently, he gave the POS machine to Happy.
Happy also secretly exclaimed at the figure, but he had no choice except to hand it over to Tony Stark.
Tony couldn’t help but curse. “How the hell did he earn six hundred thousand dollars?”
The audience exclaimed in shock again. Very soon, someone figured out how much Luke had just earned.
They couldn’t be any more jealous, because Luke had won at least 2.4 million dollars in the game!
Actually, Luke had slightly more than 675 thousand dollars in his account. Plus the thirty thousand dollars on the table, Luke’s ante was around 1.4 million.
Since Luke had blackjack, Tony had to pay double.
That meant that Luke had won more than 2.8 million dollars in this round.
Sh*t! Tony cursed inwardly, and wasn’t in the mood to play anymore. He got up to leave.
“Mr. Stark, about the money…” the hotel manager reminded him.
Without even looking at him, Tony snapped his fingers at the bodyguard who had been dealing. The bodyguard immediately said, “I’ll handle it. Let’s make the transfer over there.”
Looking at Luke, who had disappeared among a bunch of slot machines, Tony felt quite bummed out. How had that guy won against him twice in a row?
Luke smiled.
It was really fun swindling Tony Stark out of a fortune.
The money wasn’t very important to Luke, since he had confiscated half a million by destroying the gang nests near USC.
Though he couldn’t openly use that money, he could buy special materials and parts through underground channels, as long as he kept his identity hidden.
He was feeling great right now, not because he had won a lot of money, but because he had won it from Tony Stark.
Also, nobody would think that Tony Stark was trying to bribe him by playing this game with him.
Tony was too powerful to ask a minor detective like Luke for help.
If he truly had a favor to ask, he would talk to the leaders at the highest level in the police department.
