Losing twice in a row
In a game where the higher card won, getting a low card was truly unfortunate!Celia frowned and bit her lower lip tightly.But William remained unfazed, still looking as nonchalant as ever. “Is that so? Your card might be lower than mine, Mr. Zander. Who knows?”After hearing what William said, Benedict snorted in disdain. “Hmph, you’re so stubborn, huh?! What are you still daydreaming about? Unless I get a three, you will lose. But you should be well aware of how slim the chances of that happening are.”“That’s hard to say. Maybe your luck is just worse than mine?” William continued in an indifferent tone.“Fine. I’ll make you give up completely!”Then Benedict pinched the card in front of him, flipped it over, and slammed it down hard onto the table!Three bright red hearts appeared in front of everyone immediately!Three!It was really a three of hearts!Everyone in the large private room was instantly silent!In particular, Benedict’s subordinates all shuddered and hung their hea
Gentlemen, please place your bets!
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
Gambling once again
The fact that Benedict could own a top entertainment venue like Starshine and run it exceptionally well meant that he definitely had ruthless means.In the eyes of onlookers, Benedict was being kind enough by willing to take a step back and negotiate with William while offering to pay him a million dollars.“Forget it, young man. I advise you to hurry up and agree! You should count your blessings that you can leave safely with a million dollars in your pocket!”“Yeah! Benedict agreed to offer you such favorable terms today only because he’s in a good mood. Otherwise, you definitely wouldn’t even be able to leave Starshine!”“That’s right. Young man, don’t let your impulsiveness rule your head. It’s not worth doing this for a woman!”“Yeah, exactly! If Benedict gave me a million dollars, I’d surely take the money and leave immediately instead of being stubborn and insistent here!”The surrounding poker players all couldn’t help but whisper and chime in with their two cents.Some of the
Doing a disservice
“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
Too late for regrets
William had long since learned a lot of information about various people through the intelligence network that John had set up.For example, Celia’s close friend Rita actually happened to be the daughter of Jacob Syracuse, one of the richest men in the state.Jacob had always protected his son and daughter well.Ever since they were children, he sent them abroad to pursue an education.Thus, very few people in Avalon were aware of Rita’s identity.“You… You know who I am?”Surprised that William knew of her identity, Rita gaped her mouth open a little.But at the thought that her close friend was about to be taken away by this stranger like a spoil of war and that she might face horrendous treatment in the future, Rita felt that she had to protect Celia instead of being a coward!“Since you know who I am, can you spare Rita for the sake of my father? I’ll get my father to pay you that one million dollars Juarez owes you!”William sneered. “Do I look like someone who lacks a million do
This woman is mine now!
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
