Chapter 1909: Chapter 1812: Know Yourself and Your Enemy, and You Will Never Be Defeated

Huo Sining pondered for a mont and said:

"I guess that the two Huaxia antiques Clayflo ntioned as the centerpiece items are two of the twelve zodiac animal heads. Although he didn’t say specifically, we can guess. So far, we know which of the beast heads the Huaxia Governnt has already repurchased. Then, using deduction, we can roughly speculate which two beast heads these might be."

Su Qingqing nodded eagerly and said: "I know a few. In the year 2000, Poly Group acquired three beast heads: the Ox Head, the Tiger Head, and the Monkey Head. In 2003, Poly also received the Pig Head, gifted by the Macau Gambling King. These four beast heads are kept in the Imperial Capital Poly Art Museum."

Gu Xu added from the side: "The Ma Shou was bought in the 1980s by a collector nad Liuli from Europe, and it’s been well-preserved ever since."

Su Qingqing looked up and asked: "How do you know?"

Gu Xu chuckled: "Because my grandfather knows this person and had asked Master Qin Lianshan to visit them, hoping they would sell the Ma Shou to the Huaxia Governnt, but they refused."

Li Jun laughed: "Counting the five beast heads we know the whereabouts of, the ones whose whereabouts are still unknown are the Dragon Head, Dog Head, Snake Head, Goat Head, Rooster Head, Rabbit Head, and Dog Head."

Huo Sining didn’t speak because, before her rebirth, she was obsessed with the twelve zodiac animal heads for a period due to a Jackie Chan movie and even paid special attention to the Hydraulic Clock.

So, she was more inford than anyone else present and knew what would happen in the coming years. In the next few years, so of these beast heads would appear in the world and return to Huaxia’s territory.

A man nad Henry Pino represented the Pino family in donating the Bronze Rat Head and Rabbit Head to the Huaxia Governnt in 2009. Shortly after, there was news of the Dragon Head from Liuli. So, by the ti she was reborn, the truly missing beast heads were only the Snake Head, Goat Head, Rooster Head, and Dog Head.

Thus, Huo Sining speculated that the two centerpiece Huaxia antiques on the black market auction ntioned by Clayflo were probably among these four: the Snake Head, Goat Head, Rooster Head, or Dog Head.

With a rough guess, Huo Sining felt more assured.

After chatting with Su Qingqing and the others for a bit, people sent by Clayflo indeed ca to the hotel to pick them up.

Huo Sining had thought of keeping a low profile, but unexpectedly, this situation even attracted Adrian and Windsor Reed. These two elders usually avoided evening bar outings due to their age, but upon hearing that Huo Sining was going to gamble against Clayflo, and the stake was Huaxia antiques, they imdiately got interested. Before Huo Sining could refuse, the two old n had already gotten in the car, more eager than her.

Huo Sining was at a loss for words, yet couldn’t openly prevent them from watching, so she let the two old n accompany her.

When they reached the bar, the group took the sa elevator from yesterday to the top floor. As they entered, Clayflo was already waiting for them.

The aristocratic young man had a few people standing beside him, including Semiya and the bar owner from yesterday, as well as a middle-aged white man in his forties or fifties. Huo Sining discreetly observed the man, guessing that he was the Las Vegas Gambling King, Alden, whom Windsor Caesar had ntioned last night.

Clayflo seed to have anticipated that Huo Sining would bring a group to back her up, so he’d already ordered lunch to be prepared early. Upon seeing Huo Sining and the group arrive, instead of diving right into business, he warmly invited them to another room opposite the gambling hall.

Entering the room, they discovered it was a dining room, with a table full of food, clearly set up earlier.

"Miss Huo, there’s no rush for the gambling. Let’s eat first—only with a full stomach can we have the energy to play, don’t you think?"

Clayflo seed relaxed, as if he didn’t care about the outco of the gamble. On the other hand, Semiya, standing next to him, looked serious and tense, frequently glancing at Alden beside her, clenching her fists tightly as if she was determined to win.

Alden remained expressionless, occasionally glancing at Huo Sining, but didn’t speak, just sat quietly at Clayflo’s side, eating lunch.

Among the group at the table, the most excited were Adrian and Windsor Reed. Being outsiders, they didn’t share the tension and concern of Huo Sining’s companions. Naturally, they chatted non-stop, from Huo Sining and Clayflo’s gamble to when Semiya would marry, even making jeers at Clayflo. By the end of the al, everyone was exasperated, except the two old n, who carried on as they pleased.

After eating, taking a brief rest, Clayflo looked at the ti and then suggested to Huo Sining: "Miss Huo, shall we begin?"

Huo Sining nodded and headed straight for the gambling hall, with Clayflo signaling Alden to follow at a leisurely pace.

When Alden took a seat opposite the gambling table, Huo Sining wasn’t surprised at all.

Clayflo raised an eyebrow: "Miss Huo, it seems you anticipated this—Alden standing in for

doesn’t surprise you at all."

Huo Sining smiled: "Mr. Duke, there’s an ancient saying in Huaxia, ’Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated.’ Since I decided to attend, I should know what kind of opponent I would face, right?"

With that, Huo Sining reached out to shake Alden’s hand: "Hello, Mr. Alden, it’s an honor to sit across from you for today’s ultimate showdown."

Alden shook hands with Huo Sining, his face remaining calm and aloof, sitting down without a word, and directly said to Clayflo: "Start whenever you’re ready."

Clayflo nodded, signaling the nearby staff to step forward and quickly inspect the items Huo Sining brought in the box.

The box contained the antiques Huo Sining won back from Semiya yesterday, which she brought along again.

However, since Huo Sining had taken the box back to the hotel overnight, Clayflo had it thoroughly checked to prevent any pillar-switching scam or damage.
