Novel Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 2854

“That’s why I said this is mild hypnosis,” replied Harvey York calmly.

“Hypnotism tricks like these were used by the Knights Templar on their own and considered to be a sacred art. “The goal is simple. It’s used to tell themselves that they are the Knights Templar and they’re invincible with the power of the holy light.

“To a certain degree, this was able to increase their strength.

“A human’s mental state would hugely affect them.

“If they believe they’re invincible, they’d naturally be more terrifying than ordinary knights.

“And if I guess correctly, this commander here must’ve mastered mild hypnosis.

“He doesn’t need to take complete control of his opponent. All he needs to do is to make him feel like he’ll lose!

“Along with his gambling skills, he’d naturally be unbeatable against an opponent who’s already lost all confidence.”

It was Fabian Hamilton’s first time hearing such a thing,

but he quickly understood.

Psychological suggestions would definitely have a significant effect on people. For example, the placebo therapy was by far one of the most successful psychological suggestions.

But things like those would need triggering conditions.

The suggestions had already begun for sick patients when they started to believe the professionals. This was no different than hypnotizing themselves willingly.

But how would an opportunity like this appear on the gambling table?

Fabian had this question in mind.

“If I guess correctly, it’s when he snaps his fingers,” Harvey calmly said.

“Everyone will instinctively look at his hand when he snaps his fingers. He’ll start using his tricks the moment that happens.

“But mild hypnosis like this is a practice that consumes a lot of energy.

“If he wants to use it on somebody else, he’d have to pay a huge price.

“This must be why Mateo Leo chose to play at most three rounds.

“This might be his limit.

“If there are more than three rounds, he might not be able to control his opponent anymore.” “Is he really that incredible?”

Fabian frowned slightly,

“If someone feels like they’re about to lose, shouldn’t they be more careful? If that’s the case, how is Mateo going to win?”

“Simple. Just wait until his opponent folds.”

Harvey showed an indifferent expression.

“People who believe that they’d lose will keep adding cards to their hand just to feel safe..

“It’s fine to add a card or two in a game like Blackjack …

“But if you add too many, you’ll be destined to go bust.

“You can check the past footages as well. Other than the ones where Mateo has a good hand, he must’ve won because his opponents kept busting.

“Including this round here…”

Fabian gasped. He should have been able to figure this out

But his attention was so focused on Mateo and his subordinates that he completely forgot such an

important detail…

What a legendary blind spot! As expected, after having a total of eighteen points in the Great Gambler’s hand, he kept asking for more before eventually busting with three cards in his hand.

Mateo easily won three rounds in a row yet again.
