As soon as Juarez said that, the chubby man whom William had replaced as a player at the table and who could now only stand by and watch couldn’t help but sneer. “Juarez Rodriguez, you want to call? That’s a million dollars in cash. Are you sure you can afford to call?”The poker players next to him also agreed. “Exactly, Juarez Rodriguez, we all know how much money you have. When you first came here a few days ago, you had less than a million dollars. Besides, you’ve lost so much money in the past few days, you probably only have a few hundred grand left. How can you afford to call the bet?”When they exposed how much Juarez had, his face flushed with embarrassment.But he soon swallowed his pride and exclaimed loudly, “I really have a good hand! As long as I can call the bet, I will definitely win! If someone lends me a million dollars, I’ll pay you one point two million when I win. I won’t go back on my word!”His words immediately sparked more mockery and louder discussion.The ma

Although most of the gamblers in Starshine were gambling addicts, many were professional gamblers.Even they were repulsed and in disdain of Juarez’s shameless behavior.When Juarez heard the scoldings coming from around him, his face began to burn hot.But he repeatedly comforted himself, “It’s alright. I’m just temporarily using Celia as collateral. I’m going to win this game soon. I won’t let Celia really be taken away!”While constantly consoling himself, Juarez ignored everyone’s reaction and clenched his teeth.He then took the million-dollar worth of chips from William.“A million dollars, I’m calling the bet!”The veins on his forehead were bulging as he resolutely pushed all the chips in front of him to the center of the table!“Open!” With a professional smile on her face, the dealer turned to look at William. “Sir, this player has called your bet of one million dollars. Would you like to raise the bet?”Having achieved his purpose, William naturally shook his head. “No, ope

“It’s Benedict Zander! The owner of Starshine! How is he suddenly here?”“He must be here because of those two beauties being taken away by that punk! Speaking of which, I just realized that these two chicks are gorgeous!”“It’s no wonder… I heard that Benedict Zander really fancies beautiful women. He has always stayed out of the affairs in Starshine, but this time, he intervened and stopped that young man.”“Hehehe, it seems that we’re in for a good show!”The poker players were discussing quietly, but William had a sharp sense of hearing and had long heard everything they said.It seemed that something greatly troublesome would happen again.William was feeling irritated and questioned, “What do you want? I want to leave. Do I need your approval?”Benedict raised his hand and slicked his greased hair back to look suave. “If you leave on your own, I won’t stop you. But if you try to snatch women away from me on my turf, I have to take care of it!”“Trying to snatch women?” William s

Benedict stared at William with a hostile gaze and gestured for the dealer to start preparing the cards and things needed for the game.At this juncture, William seemed to recall something. “Oh, by the way, I left the three million dollars worth of chips I just exchanged and the money I won at the table just now. Mr. Zander, Starshine won’t swallow up my money, right?”Celia was stunned.Only then did she recall that William had just exchanged three million dollars for a pile of chips that he had left at the gambling table where Juarez had been.Later, she got distracted because her father had used her as collateral and lost the bet.She then left with William, according to plan, and completely forgot to get those chips!But those chips, including the ones that William won, were worth a total of more than three million dollars.It wasn’t a small sum of money at all!At the thought of this, Celia couldn’t help but look at William with a sorrowful gaze.She had forgotten about those chi

Benedict gritted his teeth menacingly and said with a furious gaze, “Hmph, I don’t need your hypocritical kindness! Let’s continue gambling! I don’t believe I can't beat you this time! This time, let’s play dice instead. Are you game enough?”William chuckled with raised brows. “Sure. If you want to change the game, I’ll comply, but let’s hope you have better luck this time!”Benedict glared daggers at William viciously.But unfortunately, William was still wearing a mask, so he had no idea who this detestable punk was.He stood up, pushed the incompetent dealer to the side, and picked up a dice cup and a dice himself.He then bellowed irrefutably, “I’m going to shake it myself! You can choose to let the dealer shake yours or do it yourself. Don’t accuse me of bullying you!”When Celia heard this, she clenched her fists and began to look worried.Benedict sounded rather self-righteous, but it seemed fair too.But shaking a dice was different from random card dealing, and the experienc
