A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 91

Alexis said, “Will, let’s make it one hundred million yuan. We will part ways after it ends!

“It seems that you are not hungry enough this time!” William lifted the corner of her lips into a faint smile.

“I don’t have much time. Make it half an hour!” Alexis curled up his lips and added, “The old rules, we will split it!”

“OK!” William smiled in response.

The two of them walked over and although there were both easterners, they had bodies that were unlike westerners who were usually bulky. They were instead slender and lean. They were wearing black suits and sporting black hair. It was a sight to behold, the way they were bantering with each other.

“Who is that?” Someone asked, but there was no one answering him.

Both of them looked very arrogant and obstinate, and after exchanging a final glance, they disappeared into their respective suites.

The suite was just a few hundred square meters, but the floor was carpeted with a luxurious carpet. It looked so majestic that it was even dizzying. Waiter and waitresses were all on standby around the suite, ready to be ordered around. There was a row of champagne and wine lining the shelf on one side.

The long table prepared for gambling was few meters long, yet only two men were seated on opposite sides. They were facing each other.

William was seated at one end of the table and he was nonchalantly lighting up a cigarette. His gaze casually swept over the other man opposite him.

Seated opposite him was a white man in his thirties. He was dangling a cigarette too from his fingers, and his blue eyes were fixated on William. After puffing out a smoke, he showed the card in his hands and laughed maniacally, “A pair of Kings!”

He was very confident of his own chances at victory because he had a pair of Kings in his hands. One was black and the other was red.

If William were to win, he would have to hold a pair of Aces, one black and one red. The white man couldn’t convince himself that William had that stroke of luck.

In fact, gambling needed a great deal of luck and experience for someone to succeed, putting aside the chances of someone cheating.

William lightly flipped the card in his hands and discarded it on the table. He wasn’t even taking a look at his cards. Instead, he was examining the expression on that white man’s face. What he saw was a face getting paler and paler.

“Mr. Rowland is the winner of this round!” The waiter announced and pushed all the chips to William’s side on the table.

The white man had a defiant look on his face. William was simply unbelievably lucky!

He narrowed his eyes and focused his sharp gaze onto William opposite him. He mused, “Mr. Rowland, you have a great stroke of luck. I’m impressed!”

William produced a faint smile on his lips while looking into the white man’s eyes with the same sharpness. He asked in English, “One more round?”

“Let’s do it!” The white man was getting carried away now. All he wanted now was to win back what he had lost earlier.

William smiled faintly, “I advise you not to continue our gambling for now…”

Then, he paused slightly and then added, “Because you will never win against me!”

He was so arrogant and proud that all the other onlookers were stunned momentarily. The white man let out a cold laugh, “Mr. Rowland, you are speaking such big words. Whether you win or not, it’s not up to you!”

He didn’t want to believe that William would be lucky to the end!

William twisted his brows upwards and scanned his surroundings. He suddenly announced, “However, I no longer have any interest in this gamble!”

“You!” The white man frowned, “Are you scared of failure?”

“I am scared that you can’t bear the outcome!” William smiled playfully and retorted.

“I won’t be scared of anything!”

“Is that so?”

“Tell me, how much are you willing to bet?” The white man bought himself another set of chips, “Ten million dollars?”

“That’s too little!” William smiled while buying himself his own chips, “Fifty million dollars. All in one go. Do you dare to challenge me?”

He stole a glance at his watch. Fifteen minutes had elapsed, so he had another fifteen minutes more. He didn’t want to be later than Alexis later on. All the while, Alexis was able to end his game faster than William, which made him lose face.

The white man froze for a moment. He was obviously shaken.

“I think you should know your limits. You shouldn’t continue this gamble!” William laughed, “You don’t dare to take on the challenge!”

The white man’s temper was ignited by William’s scornful attitude, “Deal! I will bet fifty million dollars on this round!”

“All in one go! I don’t have any more time to entertain you!” William repeated confidently, “Are you sure you are okay with it?”

He didn’t want to get into a scuffle because of the amount they were betting on. It would be too much of a hassle!

“Hmph! I agree to do this in one go!” The white man replied arrogantly, “You won’t be as lucky anymore this time!”

A trace of smile flashed across William’s perfect features, but his eyes didn’t reflect that smile at all, “Let’s begin!”

The waiter received the signal and began shuffling the cards. Then, he started to hand out the cards.

William was the bookmaker this round. The first cards didn’t end up on the table.

The waiter handed out the second card and it was revealed that the white man got a Queen black spade while William got a number two red spade. He was in a considerable disadvantage.

The white man concealed both cards in his hands and he began to reveal to himself his other card while narrowing his eyes. It turned out that he had gotten a number ten black spade, which put a smirk on his face.

William smiled faintly, and his eyes were shining with a confident gleam. He wasn’t anxious to find out what card he had gotten as the waiter began to hand out their third cards.

The white man got a Jack black spade while William got a number three red spade. They were getting consecutive cards with the same symbols, which meant that there was a high possibility that the both of them would get a flush soon.

The white man’s smirk was getting wider and wider. There were three cards in his hands which were in order and with the same symbols.

Fifty million dollars. He was going to obtain fifty million dollars soon!

William looked unfazed at the moment. With an impressive aura emanating from his body, he leaned against the back of his chair lazily and watched his opponent opposite him. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes since ten minutes had passed. This game was unfolding with the speed of a tortoise.

The waiter then handed them their next cards, and the white man got a King black spade. He had a total of four black spades in his hands, and on the other hand William got a number four red spade. Both of them were lacking the most important card now.
