Confusion creased his brow as he examined the unconventional cards.


    “What’s this? These aren’t ying cards.


    Why are the numbers handwritten?”


    The man in the rabbit mask remarked, “I forgot to mention, my deck contains numbers from 1 to 15.


    I’ve designed a rather intriguing game.


    It all hinges on our luck.


    Now it’s your turn to decide whether to draw the third card.


    ”


    The number 12 had already shown up in y, and the remaining high cards were 13, 14, and 15.


    If Coen drew the highest card, he would lose.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    However, drawing a lower card might not bring his total to 21, making the decision more challenging than in typical card games.


    “I’ll pass on the third card.


    ”


    With his decision made, Coen clenched his jaw and revealed his own card.


    It was a 10.


    His total was 18, a rtively safe bet, which brought him a sigh of relief.


    The man in the rabbit mask grinned, revealing his second card but opting not to draw a third.


    His highest card was a 15, bringing his total to 27, which was more than 21, so he lost.


    A smug smile crept across Coen’s face.


    “Looks like luck wasn’t on your side.


    You drew the high cards.


    ”


    As he stood up, the masked man signaled for someone to collect the cards and said, “Congrattions, sir.


    Care to go another round?”


    “I’ve won already.


    Why would I y again?” Coen responded.


    The masked man seemed confident that Coen would ept his challenge.


    With a hoarse, amused tone, he said, “Win another round, and your winnings will double.


    ”


    True to expectations, Coen leaned back and dered, “Let’s start.


    ”


    Their casual approach in the first round left the audience unimpressed and restless.


    After a few moments, Lydia whispered to Hannah, “It’s just a silly game.


    Where’s the fun in that?”


    Watching the gamblers intently, Hannah squinted and murmured, “I have a feeling something big is about to unfold.


    ”


    Initially, the masked man drew a 1, while Coen pulled a 5.


    Both faced the decision of whether to draw more cards.


    Coen eyed his card, uncertain.


    If he drew a 15, he would secure a win this round.


    However, drawing a lower number and stopping the bids might give the masked man a chance to overturn the game.
