"Don't touch it!" As Bernard was about to casually draw a card, Elbert suddenly shouted.
"I’ll go first!"
Elbert had already lost his rights to shuffle and cheat. He couldn't afford to lose his chance to draw first!
Under this mindset, Elbert, without waiting for Bernard's response, jumped to the front of the table, squatted down, seeming a bit nervous, and stretched out his hand...
Five minutes later, Elbert's fingers were still flipping through the cards, picking from left to right, then right to left...
"Are you gonna draw or not?!" Robin, losing his patience, delivered a kick to Elbert's leg.
While rubbing his leg, Elbert looked enviously at the harmonious Laurence brothers.
Look at Bernard, how nice he was to his younger siblings, compared to his own brother...
Well, being born into the Pine family wasn't his fault!
Elbert, with trembling hands, reached for a card.
Without daring to glance at it, he clutched it to his chest, then gestured for Bernard to draw.
Bernard, seeming somewhat bored, stretched out his long, strong fingers and drew a card.
Without even a glance, he flipped it over and tossed it onto the table...
Perhaps he wasn't invested enough, he didn't draw the Joker.
"Hahahaha!" Elbert, seeing the card, leapt up from the ground in delight, "I drew the Joker!!!"
He didn't have to cheat to draw the Joker, how awesome was that!
Elbert couldn't contain his joy, while Cedric rolled his eyes at him.
"That's just because Bernard let you draw first. Otherwise, with your luck, how could you possibly draw the Joker?"
Elbert, holding the Joker and unable to contain his happiness, didn't mind Cedric's mockery.
"Now that I've drawn the Joker, I get to make the rules. Last round still play with number cards, and still draw the Joker. This time, there are two Jokers, so there are two winners, the rest are out."
Cedric was confused, "Why two winners?"
