"Let's go" He walked towards the leader. His animosity did not die down, even when they are outnumber by the underlings of the other side. Percival's animosity grows every time he looks at the other side. A mountain cold and deadly like looking down on the leader of the coalition.
Then he asked, "They say you are the leader of the 9th prefecture coalition of schools and delinquents. Am I right?" Percival opens the leader's Main information interface. "Low strength and endurance. More on charisma and intelligence. I see that's why he has many people around him."
The leader reply "Yes, that is me you are looking for. But if you are looking for a fight, we can also give that" then raise his arms and the rest of the delinquents behind him simultaneously shout "Fallen-Angels!".
He walks up to the leader and quickly grabs his collar. And pulls the leader closer to him, "Are you going to scare me with your people, huh? Or are you going to tell them to remove their killing intent on me?" [You have gained 1 charisma]
It almost started a full-blown brawl from the both sides, but the leader of the 9th Prefecture raised his arms and said. "Don't we are not here to put this simple quarrel in a bight, are we?" Percival looks at him in the eye. His gaze differs from people he once met before.
"Do you know how to play poker? Well, if you can win, poker match I am sure you know texas hold' em. And the money you will win from us will be yours. But when you lose, you will step down from the leadership role of your high school. Is that a deal?"
He reply with an icy voice before pushing the leader collar back to his men. "Sure, why not?" He smirks. Then the lackeys of the leader steps, aside, creating a space for all of them to enter the mall. When he entered the place, it differed from what it looks outside.
Because outside it seems it was like a place where beggars alike are loitering and sleeping. But it was different. There are food stalls, shops and other stores that offer a lot of remedies.
The entire place is a home for over 300 delinquents, 3 major gangs, and 2 small gangs that are renown in the area. In-charge of their operations is none other than the leader himself. A man that has been playing the games of fist and money as his real time job. He notices it when he grabbed his collar and sees that there were knife marks on the leader's neck.
They entered a room, when the door opened there was a single table. Surrounded by chairs, the room has also 2nd floor viewing.
"I never expected that you have prepared something like this. They both sit down on the both sides of the table. When he sits the chair, he leans back and stretched his arm. Soon enough, the place got filled by people.
The dealer stands in the middle. He looks at the players when he turns his head to the leader; he winks. The leader smiles, "You know I played with many people before, but this is the first time that I smiled before a great game,"
He exclaim while leaning on his chair and looking at Percival across the table. Then he added, "Mr, Percival of the Rocket Technical High School. This will be the game that will decide your fate and the fate of the school that you serve."
"I never expect that you will be this confident playing with me" He smiles, and with and the dealer slides all of their card to their sides. They served the chips at them both as 50,000 credits. The first bet was on the leader's side.
When he looks at his card, he sees a jack of hearts and eight of spades. Meanwhile, when Percival looks at his card. 7 of hearts and 4 of hearts. The ratio of this is that the leader has 63% while Percival only has 36%.
The first bet the leader did was to put up $50, and then Percival called the $50. Both of them have their animosity on the table. The dealer could feel that both players have a game that will have something in them.
The dealer clenched his fist and taps the table. He got 1 card from the deck and put on the side and gets 3 card for the flop are 3 of hearts Queen of spades and then 6 of cloves.
Now the percentage of the game has tilted toward Percival with 39% against 60%. But the leader has other plans and so he raised his bet to $200, trying to check what cards Percival has. But Percival did not back down with that and raised it to $250. Now it's the leader's turn if he will raise or call.
He looks at Percival's eyes, and only he sees is a blank scene nothing. An empty face and because of this, he gets confused a little, so he let him for now and he called. And he adds $50 now the pot has reached $400.
The entire audience went quiet as the game progress to the turn phase. The Dealer takes the credits to the middle, and then he clenched his fist and taps the table. Before taking 1 card from the deck and putting it to the 1 card that he separates earlier. Then he gets 1 card from the deck and turns it on aligned to the flop.
"I did not expect something like this. I have low luck stat, but the one I am fighting has a 45 luck stat." Percival bits his lip. The leader notice that when he sees the turn. Because of that, he tilts his head to the right and looking at the expression that Percival has.
If it's genuine that he is desperate for a bluff trick to put him in a trap. Then when the next turn it was a 10 of hearts. Now the percentage has reversed because of the turn of the river.
The leader looks at the dealer, who is also looking back at the leader. Then he throws the cards at the dealer. All the audience were stunned by the move that the leader did.
"What the leader folded that is new to his poker strategy." One bystander commented. Then the Dealer got sweaty because he has let down the leader to fold. So he steps back and turns around and another dealer came. [ You have gained 6 luck]
Percival looks at the leader. "It seems luck has gone to my side," then followed by a smirk. The leader reacted calmly, but that smirk made him tilted. "This guy is trying to make fun of me. I will make sure you will lose all the games. This is only the start of the game that will fail and destabilize your inner feelings damn."
The next game follows, the second game went well. Because Percival lost a small amount of money but still keeps the 50,000 credits.
While the leader is still wanting to get all the money that he loses earlier in the first game. But in that game he gains another luck stat point. But because it was a loss round, he only earned 1 luck.
