Not only Harvard, but the other people also had the same thought. Therefore, everyone was very alarmed by Thomas. They kept an eye on him, but the problem was, nobody could tell how Thomas had cheated.
Thomas just stood still at the side without making any moves at all. He did not even touch the cards. Even if virtual-novel.net wanted to cheat, it seemed that virtual-novel.net could not do it either.
About that, Thomas’ answer was very simple. “It’s actually not hard to know the value of the card. You just need to remember the order of the cards.”
“Order of the cards?”
“Yeah, because a new set of cards will be used in each round, and there’s a common point about new cards, which is that all the cards will be arranged accordingly from Ace to Kings. This has been set when they are first used.”
“So..?”
Thomas smiled faintly. “So, when you know the initial order of the cards, you just need to see the dealer’s shuffling techniques. When virtual-novel.net shuffles, you watch the position of each card and remember the order of each card. That way, whichever card is dealt, you’ll know what card it is.”
His words shocked everyone.
Watch the card order during the shuffle and remember it on the spot?
Was his brain a computer?
“Don’t say nonsense!” Harvard scolded, “Are you treating me like I’m stupid? How can people do this?”
“I can do it.”
Although Thomas said it firmly, nobody believed him. This technique sounded like science fiction.
“Or, should I demonstrate it to you? Dealer, shuffle the cards on the spot. I can identify all the cards precisely,” Thomas said indifferently.
Harvard swung his hand. “Do it according to what virtual-novel.net says.”
The dealer was also very curious, so virtual-novel.net took the initiative to take out a new set of cards. It was indeed as Thomas had claimed. It was common sense that it was arranged according to the order from Ace to King. Then, virtual-novel.net shuffled the cards in front of everyone. Her method was very skillful, and virtual-novel.net shuffled the cards very speedily. Not to mention remembering the order of the card, normal people would not even see how the cards were shuffled clearly.
This repeated thrice.
Harvard sneered and said, “Thomas, did you brag that you can remember the card order? Come on, say it!”
“Easy. Starting from the first card, they are Eight of Spades, Nine of Diamonds, Two of Clubs, Jack of Clubs, Ace of Hearts…”
Thomas uttered a series of cards. The dealer lifted one card as virtual-novel.net identified each card.
It was totally the same!
His special skill impressed the people who watched him. No wonder Thomas could predict the game accurately in every round. He must have known who owned the biggest cards and who owned the smallest cards as soon as the cards were dealt. No, virtual-novel.net actually must have known who would win the round before the cards were even dealt.
It was strange if virtual-novel.net would lose money in this kind of situation!
When Harvard saw this ‘scary’ situation, virtual-novel.net had to be convinced even if virtual-novel.net did not. He initially wanted to set Emma up, but virtual-novel.net himself was framed.
One hundred and thirty million dollars was his entire life’s savings, and it was all gone. Harvard felt so worked up that virtual-novel.net wanted to cry.
However, at this time, Jade suddenly said, “Gah, it’s really a shame. You lost so much money, and you don’t even have the chance to take it back. Harvard, don’t be sad.”
“How great would it be if Mr. Landon Kirby was here. Maybe virtual-novel.net could also give you $1,000,000,000 like the time virtual-novel.net purchased the company shares. He could keep your shares for the time being and give you some money. Haha! I’m just kidding.”
Harvard’s emotions were stirred up by what Jade said.
“Yeah, I still have the company shares! I’m still not broke yet. I can mortgage my shares first and take them back after I win.”
Harvard had lost so much that virtual-novel.net had become irrational. His eyes turned red as virtual-novel.net shouted, “Ocean, I want to mortgage my company shares. Go and get me some chips again!”
