Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 500 - 498: The Third Prince Who Gives Up

In the second round, player two folded immediately.

Player three had already folded in the first round.

It was player four, Wen Shixuan’s, turn to act.

Wen Shixuan glanced at his second card and nearly jumped out of his seat.

"A nine. Looks like I’m guaranteed to win this time."

His first card was a nine, and his second was also a nine, for a total of eighteen points.

There were only three nines in total, and he held two of them. Victory seemed inevitable.

He slammed his hand on the table and declared loudly, "Two hundred million."

He immediately tossed two one-hundred-million-value chips into the pot.

Wen Shixuan was determined to win this round. He felt insanely lucky.

It was now player five’s turn, the Second Prince, Wen Shixi.

Wen Shixi looked at his own card. It was a nine.

His face lit up with elation.

His first card had been an eight, and his second was a nine.

A hand like this had a solid chance of winning.

He tilted his head to glance at his older brother, Wen Shixuan, and saw his triumphant expression.

’His brother’s hand must be strong.’

But without much hesitation, Wen Shixi took two one-hundred-million chips and tossed them in.

"I’ll call."

The two brothers locked eyes, both feeling the intense competitive spirit emanating from the other.

Then, they both turned to look at player one, their eyes full of challenge.

The cards from the second round were not revealed but kept hidden.

The third round of dealing began.

The Holy Light flashed again.

SWISH!

Three cards descended, landing in front of players one, four, and five.

Player one’s expression was grave. After all, both player four and player five had made huge bets; their hands couldn’t be weak.

He flipped his card over, and his expression grew even more solemn.

He had two eights before, and now he had a five, bringing his total to twenty-one points.

With a maximum of thirty points, twenty-one was not a small hand.

But he looked at Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi and began to ponder.

’Should I keep calling? To stay in, I’ll have to bet at least two hundred million.’

After a moment of thought, player one decisively tossed out two hundred million in chips.

"Call!"

He didn’t raise this time; he didn’t dare risk it.

Just like that, he had now put a total of three hundred and thirty million into the pot.

His heart was heavy.

It was Wen Shixuan’s turn. He looked at his card and found it was a four.

His previous two nines plus this final four brought his total to twenty-two points.

’Of course,’ Wen Shixuan thought, ’if this had been higher than a six, that would’ve been perfect. I’d definitely win then.’

But a four wasn’t quite to his liking.

To call, he’d have to bet another two hundred million.

He had already bet two hundred and fifty million. Calling now would bring his total to four hundred and fifty million.

It was an absolutely massive amount.

He fell into thought.

He looked left and right, glancing from player one to his second brother.

In the end, he decided to call.

He already held two of the nines, so the chances of anyone else getting one were slim.

He promptly took out another two hundred million in chips.

"I’m still in!"

After the third round came the reveal, the moment that would decide the winner and loser.

Finally, only the Second Prince, Wen Shixi, was left.

Wen Shixi flipped over his card, glanced at it, and then closed it back up.

He took out another two hundred million in chips.

Without a second thought, he tossed them onto the table.

The crowd instantly erupted.

Because suddenly, there were one billion, two hundred and thirty million in chips on the gambling table.

This was, without a doubt, a high-stakes gamble.

Even Jiang Chen was astonished as he watched the game unfold.

Standing behind the Third Prince, he only needed a quick glance to see the Second Prince’s cards.

The Second Prince had an eight, a nine, and a seven.

As for the hands of the Crown Prince and player one, he couldn’t see them.

The time to determine the winner had come.

Suddenly, a thought struck Jiang Chen.

’I wonder if my Ten Directions Calculation can determine the winner.’

Instantly, within his sea of consciousness, the Ten Directions Calculation automatically formed into a Compass.

It began to calculate the outcome of this round.

The Compass transformed into a diagram of six seats.

They were labeled one through six.

Finally, the pointer stopped on seat number five.

’Huh, it can actually figure it out.’

’Player five is the Second Prince, Wen Shixi. Wen Shixi is going to win.’

Just as Jiang Chen finished his calculation, a flash of Holy Light automatically flipped over everyone’s cards.

SWISH!

Player One: an eight, an eight, and a five, for a total of twenty-one points.

Player Four: a nine, a nine, and a four, for a total of twenty-two points.

Player Five: an eight, a nine, and a seven, for a total of twenty-four points.

In an instant, the outcome was decided.

The Second Prince laughed heartily. "My apologies, everyone! Hahaha..."

As he spoke, all the chips on the table automatically flew to Wen Shixi, piling up on top of his existing stack.

Just like that, Wen Shixi had won seven hundred and eighty million crystal yuan.

The speed at which he won money was simply indescribable.

Wen Shixi was grinning from ear to ear.

Player one’s face was grim.

Wen Shixuan glared at his second brother, absolutely fuming.

But Wen Shixi didn’t forget to turn to the Third Prince. "Third Brother, look. Your second brother won this much in the very first game. This is probably almost your entire net worth, isn’t it?"

The Third Prince looked helpless.

Mocked by his second brother, he couldn’t say a single word in rebuttal, because there was nothing to rebut.

Then, the cards were dealt once more.

This time, it was player two’s turn to act first.

Player two tossed a five-million-value chip into the pot.

Player three called the five million. When it was player four Wen Shixuan’s turn, he immediately made it ten million.

Player five, Wen Shixi, also called the ten million.

It seemed no one was as impulsive as they had been the first time around.

But this time, the Third Prince, Wen Shiren, unexpectedly received a high card. His first card was a nine.

He was thrilled.

"Call. Ten million."

The Third Prince bet ten million. His funds were limited, so he didn’t dare to raise rashly.

"Well, well, our little Third Brother has gotten bold, hasn’t he? He actually dared to call."

Wen Shixuan laughed, his tone laced with mockery.

The Second Prince also chuckled. "Our Third Brother is finally done holding back and is ready to erupt. I hope he can manage to win for once."

The Crown Prince followed with a loud laugh. "Our Third Brother has never won before, has he? It seems his hand isn’t small this time."

Faced with the taunts of his two older brothers, the Third Prince endured it in silence.

He clenched his jaw, resolute. He believed that with a high card on the first draw, he had a good chance of holding on until the end and winning.

Player one placed his bet.

This time, player one directly threw in a fifty-million-value chip.

"Fifty million. I’m going for it."

He had lost three hundred and thirty million in the first game and was extremely unhappy about it.

This time, he was determined to win it back, because he also had a nine—a very strong card.

The first round of betting ended, and the second round of cards was dealt.

In the second round, the Third Prince received a six.

This six was neither high nor low, leaving the Third Prince speechless.

Still, his hand wasn’t exactly weak now.

After another round of betting, the Third Prince decisively bet again, calling the fifty million.

The betting wasn’t as fierce as the first game, but only player two folded.

At the end of the second round, five players were still in.

The third round of dealing began.

This time, player three raised directly, adding one hundred million.

With a grim expression, player four, the Crown Prince, called the bet.

Player five, the Second Prince, also called the one hundred million.

When it was the Third Prince’s turn, he looked at the five in his hand.

His face was hesitant; he wanted to call but didn’t dare.

By his calculation, his total points added up to a full twenty—a respectable hand.

But he didn’t dare to call.

He had already put fifty-five million in.

The Third Prince thought for a moment, but in the end, he decided to fold.

"I fold!"

With the Third Prince out, it was player one’s turn to act.

He also called the one hundred million.

Next came the reveal.

Player One had a nine, a seven, and a four, for a total of twenty points.

Player Three had an eight, a six, and a five, for a total of nineteen points.

Wen Shixuan had a seven, a seven, and a nine, for a total of twenty-three points.

Wen Shixi had a six, a six, and a nine, for a total of twenty-one points.

This time, Wen Shixuan won.
