Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 433 Fearless Mad Gambler

Chapter 433 Fearless Mad Gambler
Once the dealer had placed fifty pairs of cards on the table, she gave one minute to memorize the placement of the cards. Once one minute had ended, the dealer and the two staff flipped the cards.
The dealer raised her hand and declared, "The final match of the 69th Underworld Tournament between Rudy Ross and Leo Lusher with the betting amount of one hundred million dollar beg—"
"Wait a minute," Rudy interrupted the dealer. However, he did that on purpose. He waited for her to finish declaring and then interjected at the last second.
But he didn't didn't do it to mess with the dealer, he let her announce the match because he wanted everyone's attention on the game.
"What is it, Rudy Ross?"
"Don't you think this game is a little boring?"
"Hmm?"
"Hey, hey! If you think you can change the game after all this, you are wrong!" Leo yelled.
"Oh, no. I don't plan to change the game," Rudy said calmly. "But I want to add a rule, can I?"
"Of course, you can't!" Leo retorted.
"I did not ask you, Mister Leo loser."
"It's Lusher!"
Rudy turned to the dealer and asked, "Is it possible?"
"Well, the match didn't officially start, so you can. But it's not guaranteed that your rule will be agreed by the board of the Underworld Committee."
'It doesn't actually matter if it gets accepted or not. I have won, regardless. But why was Leo opposing the idea? I already gave enough hints to him that I am onto him. He can't be that dumb. Could it be that he has another cheating card?' Rudy wondered.
How about we play blindfolded," Rudy suggested.
"What?!" Leo exclaimed.
"Please explain," the dealer nodded.
"It's simple. You blindfold the player who is flipping the card."
"But that would make this game extremely hard."
"Oh, come on!" Rudy spread his arms in the air and turned to the audience before shouting, "This is the finale of the Underworld Tournament! Shouldn't it be hard?!"
"Yeah!"
"He is right!"
"Yeah!"
"Do it!"
"I don't care, but okay!"
"That's a crazy idea!"
The audience began to make loud noises in Rudy's favor.
"See?" Rudy shrugged his shoulders at Leo and the dealer. "Everyone agrees. What does the 'Underworld Board Committee' (UBC) say?"
The dealer placed her finger on the earbud she was wearing in her left ear.
A few seconds later, she nodded and said, "The UBS approves."
"Wait a minute!" Leo slammed his hands on the table and yelled, "This is ridiculous!"
"How?"
"That's a stupid rule!"
"You can add a rule too if you want."
Leo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth while glaring furiously at Rudy.
"Shall we start now?"
The dealer once again raised her hand and declared, "The final match of the 69th Underworld Tournament between Rudy Ross and Leo Lusher with the betting amount of one hundred million dollars begins!"
The high-beat music started again, and the crowd began cheering. However, to everyone's surprise, most of them were cheering Rudy's name.
'I already destroyed you mentally and socially. And now you will destroy yourself financially,' Rudy smirked inwardly.
Rudy's blindfolding rule won the heart of most of the audience. The game was selected by Leo but overwhelmed by Rudy.
That night Rudy gained yet another title in the underworld— Fearless Mad Gambler.
The leader took out a coin and said, "The winner will go first."
"Heads for me," Rudy uttered.
Without waiting for Leo's reply, the dealer flipped the coin in the air and caught it when it fell down.
"It's head."
'Oh, come on. I don't need luck here. I wanted to lose the coin so Leo could have the first round. Well, I can fix that.'
A staff member wrapped a thick and black blindfold around Rudy's eyes.
'I will get it wrong on the first try to make this match more interesting and impactful.'
Rudy flipped two random cards, but he got the pair right.
'Are you fucking kidding me?!' Rudy took a deep breath and inwardly uttered, 'Calm down, Rudy. Think about thighs; Jane's thighs. They were so soft and rubbery.'
'I have a good memory, and I know where most of the pairs are, So all I have to do is flip the wrong cards on purpose.'
Rudy flipped one card that he knew and flipped another random that he was sure wasn't a pair.
"Boo!" the audience booed.
'Looks like I got it wrong.'
Rudy took off the blindfold and said, "Damn, it's hard."
The dealer raised her brow and looked at Rudy with an amused expression on her face.
'What's with that face?'
Now, it was Leo's turn.
'Let's see, what else does he have up his sleeve,' Rudy uttered inwardly.
Leo flipped two cards and got the pair right. Then, he flipped two more and got them right too. Then another, and another.
'Once can be a coincidence, two can also be a coincidence, three two. But there is no way he can get four pairs right. He is undoubtedly cheating, but how?
I already got a new deck of cards, so that invisible liquid is no more. I even got him blindfolded, so he shouldn't be able to see. So how exactly is he cheating?'
Rudy used infrared vision and saw Leo's eyes were shining under the blindfold.
'Oh! I see! Those are not some ordinary lenses! They are also futuristic lenses, and they recorded everything Leo saw. He must have captured the picture of the cards before they were flipped.
Damn. This level of cheating is honestly pitiable. This guy seems so desperate to win, what the fuck! Well, that makes me even more excited to destroy him!'
Rudy covered his mouth to hold his snickering and used electrification to disable the lenses. Now, they were no different than ordinary lenses.
Just as Rudy had expected, Leo got the next pair wrong.
"Leo is ahead of Rudy by three points. The current score is Leo- 4. Rudy- 1."
Rudy cracked his neck and muttered, "Guess what's going to happen now?"
