Mask off
“Ah!” Celia was already incredibly nervous.After hearing Benedict’s brutal threat, she immediately screamed in fright and quickly covered her mouth while a cold chill spread throughout her body.She was especially terrified because they were now on the top floor of Starshine, in Benedict’s turf, so it was impossible to even escape!“Celia, we’ll be fine.” Rita hurriedly grabbed Celia’s clammy hand that was as cold as ice and comforted her gently.In fact, she was also shocked.But she decided to comfort Celia because she thought that Celia was afraid that Benedict would also exact those brutal means on her.Rita was actually still more biased toward Benedict.Besides, she believed that Benedict wouldn’t harm her and Celia, who were vulnerable women.In the worst-case scenario, she would reveal her identity as the daughter of a notable figure in society.She reckoned that Benedict would let both of them off on account of her father.William was not the least bit intimidated by Benedic
A sore loser
“Hmph, of course I’m going to call!”Benedict gestured for the underling beside him to bring out more chips.But the latter seemed to be put in a spot as he inched closer and whispered into Benedict’s ear, “Mr. Zander, the number of chips you withdrew today has exceeded the limit…”Benedict turned around and slapped the underling on the face!“Damn it! All of Starshine belongs to me. Bring me as many chips as I tell you to! Are you scared that I might run out of cash?”The underling covered his face, feeling incredibly aggrieved.The number of chips withdrawn in a day couldn’t exceed eight million dollars, which was a rule that Benedict had set himself.The underling had reminded him out of good intentions only to get slapped on his face.However, he dared not express his anger and had no choice but to hurry outside to fetch another tray full of chips.The people waiting outside the room for the outcome of the game couldn’t help but be shocked when they saw the massive amount of chips
Playing dice
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
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
