The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

enced players like them, who spent loads of time on poker and even made a living off it, liked playing with the most.

“Is that so?” Lucas casually took out a gold and black Dubai First Royale Card from his pocket and handed it to the service attendant beside him.
“Get me three million dollars worth of chips.”

“Wow!”

“He’s starting with a capital of three million dollars.
What a baller!”

The poker players gathered around the table couldn’t help but gasp in shock as they stared at Lucas like they were looking at a whale.

He was definitely a whale with a ton of money!

William also had excitement written all over her face.
Although he didn’t have much money left—only around a few hundred thousand—he would be able to recoup his capital as long as he won a few rounds against this young baller.
He thought that he might even win several to dozens of times the amount of his capital!

Soon, the service attendant carried Lucas’s chips to him, and the game officially began.

“Hey brother, how do you want to play?” A ginger sitting at the poker table stared at Lucas with a zealous gaze and asked roguishly.

Lucas calmly leaned back in his chair and said indifferently, “Let’s play a simple game where the biggest hand wins.
Four cards facing up and one facing down.
How does that sound?”

The few poker players at the table exchanged glances with each other gleefully.

This was indeed a simple game, as it required little technical skills and was mostly dependent on luck.
Each game would end quickly too, so the amount of money won or lost would be quite large.

But it happened to be just what they wanted.

“Okay, we’ll go ahead with that.
Dealer, begin!”

The beautiful woman wearing the dealer’s uniform and standing at the side smiled and nodded.
She extended her slender fingers to shuffle and deal the cards.

Soon, the few players each had a few cards in front of them.

“I’ll raise the stakes eight grand!”

“Call!”

“Call!”

…

They raised the stakes by eight thousand in one go.
The stakes of the game were undoubtedly high.

William hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, “Call!”

Soon, all the people at the poker table called the bet.
Lucas was the only one who hadn’t.

Everyone turned to look at Lucas, waiting to hear his answer.

“I’ll raise the bet by a million dollars.” Lucas’s voice was calm, but his words were like a drop of water added to hot oil and instantly led to an uproar.

“What?! He raised the bet by a million dollars?! That’s outrageous!”

“This is so exciting! Who can call this bet? It’s a million dollars!”

“Damn, that’s too much! The stakes are going to be millions of dollars!”

…

The people at the card table and the spectators around the table all gasped in amazement.

Actually, the simplicity of the game was precisely the reason that there was a greater degree of freedom in choice in terms of raising the bet.

After the dealer had placed the basic bet, everyone was free to raise the bet.
Those who were willing to continue playing could call, while those who felt that the risk was too high could choose not to call.
Those who didn’t call would be considered to have folded and would thus be kicked out of the game automatically.
All of the chips they placed would also be given to the winner.

However, no one dared to call with Lucas’s raise of a million dollars.
Of course, greater risks also meant greater returns.
If they called the bet and won, they would win more than a million dollars at once, which was simply more than the lifetime earnings of an average person!

This was what gambling was all about!

You could either strike a fortune overnight or lose everything in a single night.
It was brutal and harsh.

The people at the table were all obviously hesitant.
But after weighing the cards they had in their hands, they finally gave up calling the bet.

William was the only one who repeatedly looked at the cards in his hand and finally gritted his teeth before saying reluctantly, “I… call!”
