However, the second round was a different story. Xiang Yu transformed into a fierce competitor. His focus was razor-sharp, his moves calculated. As he played card after card, the others began to sweat, their confidence waning.
The amount of Star Coins they were about to lose felt staggering. They were about to lose an equivalent of three months' salary. But to Xiang Yu, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Seeing their discomfort, Xiang Yu leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips. "Old Tong," he said, "I am not an unreasonable person. How about this? You answer my questions, and I will let this go."
Old Tong raised an eyebrow, sensing the shift in the atmosphere. He waved his hand, and the other two men quietly stepped away, giving them space. The old engineer's impression of Xiang Yu began to change. Who had said this crown prince was useless? With each move, Xiang Yu was leading him deeper into a trap, and Old Tong was unwittingly falling for it.
