I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 162

Walter did underestimate Oliver, so he let Oliver pick the card first.

He didn’t think Oliver would get the biggest card, Spades A

Oliver wouldn’t leave Walter any chance. He would win if he could. It wasn’t the time to be polite when 100 million Oros were at stake.

A stack of cards facing down was spread to form a long, continuous line, with only a narrow strip of the back of each card visible.

Oliver stared at the narrow strips one by one to identify them. He saw Spades A on the 21st card.

Seeing Spades A, Oliver stopped looking and reached for the card.

Walter’s heart thumped!

He remembered where Spades A was clearly. But he never expected that Oliver would reach out and take the Spades A he had his eyes on!

“Damn it. I’m going to lose 100 million Oros!” he thought.

Walter’s face darkened, and he suddenly became vigilant. He wondered, ‘Is this guy pretending?

Is he actually a good gambler?’

As far as Walter was concerned, he knew very well that there was no luck in the world in terms of/gambling. Winning cards only depended on cheating or memory and calculation.

Others were also staring at Oliver nervously, especially Shark.

When Oliver took out a poker card and turned it over, everyone was relieved to see that it was Spades A.

They won.

“You won this round. Change the cards and let’s go for the second round.”

Without further thought, Walter reached out and took a new deck of cards.

“Wait a minute!”

Oliver suddenly spöke and said to Walter, “Mr. Walter, shall I shuffle the cards?”

Walter nodded and handed him the cards.

Oliver took the cards out of the box. The cards were face down, almost against the table, so they couldn’t see the face of the card.

Oliver shuffled the cards awkwardly with half the cards in each hand.

Oliver was so clumsy that even the dealer standing beside him couldn’t watch it.

“How dare a man like him play this life-or-death game?” the dealer thought.

Walter yet thought Oliver was pretending.

Oliver shuffled the cards awkwardly. Then the cards were placed on the tabletop and spread apart in a fan shape, forming a long fan-like formation.

Like Walter, each card showed only one narrow side and only the last card had the entire back.

Oliver gestured towards Walter with an open hand, signaling, “Mr. Walter, you first.”

In this round, Oliver reciprocated with the same words.

Still, Oliver had an advantage. Walter looked at the cards in the last shuffle and remembered them with a superb memory. But in this round, Oliver shuffled the cards face down against the table and no one saw the card face, so Walter couldn’t

remember.

So even if Oliver asked Walter to take the card first, there was no way for Walter to know the number.

It all depended on luck.

Walter stared at Oliver expressionlessly and asked, “How much do you bet in this round?”

After thinking for a while, Oliver pushed out the 100 million Oros worth of chips that he had just won and a 100 million Oros worth of principal and said, “I’ll bet 200 million Oros. The 100 million Oros I won plus a principal of 100 million Oros.”

If Oliver lost, it would only cost him 100 million Oros.

If Walter lost again, he’d only have 200 million Oros left.

Oliver glanced at the back of the card to identify it. The Spades A in this deck was on the third card.

Walter sneered, “Okay. Since you’re going to bet on your luck, let’s both bet on it.”

Walter stared at the cards for a while, but he was really not sure. No matter how good his gambling skills were, this kind of gambling could only be done by pure luck.

Walter thought for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and picked up a card casually. Since he didn’t know the number of cards, why should he think so much?

Walter took out one of the cards and put it on the table.

It was a Hearts 5.

That wasn’t a big number.

But since it was a gamble of luck, there was no guarantee that Oliver would get the big card.

And then was Oliver’s turn.

Shark was so nervous that his palms were covered with sweat. His heart almost jumped out of his chest. He stared at Oliver and didn’t dare to blink. He just muttered in his mind, “God bless!”

Oliver was not nervous at all. As long as Walter didn’t get the Spades A, he would win.

The only thing he was worried about was Walter being lucky enough to get a Spades A.

Since Walter only got a Hearts 5, he didn’t need to get the Spades A so as not to arouse other people’s suspicion.

Oliver identified the cards one by one. Then he deliberately picked a Spades 5, took it, and turned it over.

“Spades 5! Right next to Hearts 5. What a narrow margin!”

Everyone clenched their fists and shouted.

Walter’s face turned pale as if his heart was grabbed by something.

He thought, ‘A narrow victory? Is that possible?

Is it luck or is he pretending?’

Suddenly, Walter had a feeling that the kid before him was going to win!

If this kid had cheated, how did he cheat?

Was it because he just shuffled the cards?

Walter thought that Oliver must have played tricks in the shuffle just now, but he didn’t see it.

So in the third round, Walter took a deep breath and said, “I’ll shuffle this one.”

Oliver nodded and said, “Okay. But I have one condition. You can’t look at the card’s face. Shuffle them the same way I did, face down against the table. No one can look at or remember the cards.”

Do not look at or remember the cards!

As expected, Oliver knew his strengths and weaknesses.

If he couldn’t remember cards while shuffling, he really had to gamble on luck.

But Walter still had his wits about him. He thought that Oliver played tricks when shuffling the cards. If he didn’t let Oliver touch the cards and shuffled them on the table, Oliver could only pray for luck.

All he needed to do was make sure Oliver couldn’t play tricks.

Thinking of this, Walter took the cards and shuffled them against the table several times casually.

But Walter was still confident because when card factories encased cards, they basically followed a fixed order: The first one was the big joker, the second one was the little joker, the third one was

Spades A, the fourth one was Spades 2, and the fifth one is was Spades 3…

Spades were followed by Hearts, Hearts were followed by Clubs and then Diamonds, and the last card is a substitute for any

card. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The total number of cards in a deck was 55.

But some cards didn’t have the last card, and sometimes the last card would be placed behind the big and little jokers, in the third position.

So Walter just needed to remember where the third and fourth cards in this deck were because Spades A was either the third or the fourth card.

When he shuffled the previous deck of cards, he saw that the third card was the last card referred to above. These cards were all from the same factory, so the fourth card must be Spades A.

Walter asked Oliver, “How much did you bet on this round?”

Oliver glanced at the chips before Walter and said, “You only have 200 million Oros. Then I’ll bet 200 million Oros, but this time… Should I go first?”

Walter was stunned and stared at Oliver for a few seconds. Then he nodded and said, “Okay, you first!”
