Chapter 77
Reg’s words surprised the surrounding guests.
Guests didn’t expect this casually dressed young man to turn out to be Reg’s distinguished guest.
They used to despise Leonard on the helicopter before.
Jordan, who was still high-spirited just now, looked a little ugly.
Reg directly left Jordan to welcome Leonard, which showed that in Reg’s heart, Leonard’s status was higher than Jordan’s.
Jordan, who was high-blown just now, looked like a clown.
“Mr. Dewey, you’re polite.”
For Reg’s welcome, Leonard performed flatly.
This makes people wonder what Leonard’s identity was.
“Mr. Santos, there are many entertainment items on the cruise ship. Let Cherry accompany you for a stroll later.”
As he was speaking, Reg waved to his granddaughter Cherry.
Cherry walked over with a pout.
Originally Leonard saved Reg, and Cherry was also very grateful, but now Reg determined to match Cherry and Leonard together, which made Cherry rebellious.
Even looking at Leonard, Cherry disliked him.
“Grandpa, many friends came today, and I had to accompany them.”
Cherry said reluctantly.
“Other people were not as important as Mr. Santos, and Mr. Santos saved my life. Mr. Santos was my distinguished guest. I was too busy to accompany Mr. Santos in person, so you have to do it.”
“Okay, then let me greet my friends.”
With that saying, Cherry turned and walked towards the crowd behind.
There was a group of men and women looking around.
When Cherry came over, men and women immediately started asking questions, “Cherry, who is that young man? Was it worth Mr. Dewey greeting him in person?
“Yeah, seeing how casually he was dressed, was it possible that he was some kind of big shot?”
Cherry shook her head. “It’s not a big shot. Leonard was the guy I told you before, who saved my grandpa on the road and knew some medical skills.
“I didn’t know why my grandpa insisted on matching Leonard and me.”
“This was Mr. Dewey’s fault. Cherry, you were the beauty in our circle. Even if he knew some medical skills, he was not worthy of you.
“That’s right, and I didn’t think this guy could recognize himself clearly. If I were him, I would have taken the initiative to keep a distance from you.”
“Okay. Cherry interrupted the words of her friends, “My grandpa asked me to accompany him for a stroll, so I couldn’t accompany you.”
Then, Cherry returned to Leonard’s side and took Beryl’s arm.
“Beryl, how was your father’s illness?”
“It’s all done. It’s all up to Mr. Santos.”
When Beryl said it, her expression was a little unnatural.
After all, the Moreno family wanted to renege on their debts, but it was not honorable to be knocked on by Leonard. “That’s good; Mr. Santos’ medical skills were very good,” said Cherry.
“Mr. Santos, there were many interesting places on the cruise ship. There was more than an hour before the birthday banquet. Let’s take a stroll first.
After speaking, Cherry took Leonard around for a tour.

Chapter 77
When Cherry, Leonard, and Beryl walked into the interior of the cruise ship, they heard the noise inside.
Cherry introduced, “The hall inside was a place dedicated to gambling and entertainment for guests.
“My grandpa chartered the cruise ship for three days, and the entertainment facilities inside were all built-in to the cruise ship.
“If Mr. Santos were interested, you could go and play.”
“Just go and have a look.”
Leonard smiled.
As soon as they walked into the lobby of the casino, they saw Jordan sitting beside the gaming table.
Behind Jordan was a group of men and women, who were Cherry’s friends. Obviously, Cherry’s friends had a good relationship with Jordan, and they were making suggestions.
“Come on, let’s go and have a look.”
Seeing the friends were all there, Cherry felt a little itchy.
Cherry was an obedient girl, and she usually did not go on such occasions, and this was the first time for her to watch people gamble on the spot.
Leonard naturally didn’t care.
Next to Cherry, Beryl was very reticent all the way.
Now the entire Moreno family seemed as Leonard’s subordinate, and Beryl, the daughter of the Moreno family, naturally had an obligation to accompany Leonard by the side.
After Cherry and others came over, a group of young men and women greeted them warmly.
At this moment, Jordan had won a lot of money, and with a cigarette in his hand, he couldn’t hide his complacency.
“Jordan, you have won a lot.”
After coming over, Cherry was surprised.
“It’s just a little, not enough for my one-month pocket money,” Jordan said proudly.
“Jordan had gambled money in Allae City casinos. Of course, he didn’t care about such a small amount of money.”
“How could this casino on the small cruise ship be taken seriously by Jordan?”
All the men and women around were flattering.
Jordan’s family was involved in many gray industries, and Jordan himself knew many bigwigs in the world.
Jordan’s circle was different from other rich second generations.
Everyone admired Jordan.
Jordan couldn’t help looking at Beryl proudly, but unfortunately, Beryl lowered her head and didn’t know what she was thinking, which made Jordan a little disappointed.
Jordan rolled his eyes and said, “It’s not interesting to play here. Why not go inside, where the bet starts at 20 thousand
dollars.”
Then, Jordan looked at Cherry.
“Cherry, let’s go together, and I will show you to broaden your vision.”
“Um…”
Cherry couldn’t help looking at Leonard beside her.
Cherry was ordered by her grandpa to accompany Leonard around, so she still had to obey Leonard’s wishes; otherwise, her grandpa would scold her when he found out.
“Suit yourself.”
Leonard didn’t care.
Soon a group of people came inside.
The inside was much more lively than the outside. After all, the amount of gambling was large, and there were more onlookers.

Chapter 77
Especially at the innermost tables, the people who sat there and gambled looked like big shots.
Lots of bunny-dressed, scantily clad beauties stood by with plates.
Professional croupiers with white gloves meticulously implemented the requests of customers.
Leonard saw that the chips in front of a gambler were about to pile up into a hill, and the visual estimate was probably millions of dollars.
But Leonard was not happy for him.
Someone in the casino got rich overnight, and someone went bankrupt. Maybe in a few days, one would meet him at a junk stall on the street.
“How is it? Did you want to make a few bets?”
Jordan asked with a smile.
Some rich second generations were a little hesitant.
However, Jordan had taken the lead in betting 60 thousand dollars, which quickly became 120 thousand dollars.
This time, everyone was tempted and followed Jordan to bet.
And everyone won some more or less.
“Leonard, didn’t you want to play? Did you have no money?”
Jordan looked at Leonard.
Jordan was overwhelmed by Leonard before, so he had always been brooding.
Jordan was only happy if Leonard lost a few games.
Generally speaking, young people were full of vigor and couldn’t be provoked the most, especially in front of so many beauties.
Unexpectedly, Leonard was completely unmoved.
Jordan smiled disdainfully. “It turned out to be a pauper.”
Soon another round of betting began.
Jordan piled up all the chips in one place and finally won more than 200 thousand dollars in one time.
The rich second generations who followed Jordan to bet also doubled, and they were all excited.
“Jordan, you were so awesome.”
“That’s right, Jordan. It all depended on Jordan to make us rich.”
Cherry was a little interested.
Jordan was even more energetic, feeling that he must be the most radiant right now.
At this moment, Jordan couldn’t help looking at Leonard again.
“What, are you so timid? You don’t even want the free money. Follow me, and you will win every bet. If you have no money, I could lend you some?”
Beryl looked at Jordan with disdain. “Mr. Santos was a big shot with billions of a**ets, and he just didn’t want to play.”
“Hawhaw! Big shot?”
Jordan couldn’t help laughing out loud. “Leonard even didn’t have 20 thousand dollars; how dare he call a big shot?”
“Beryl, in order to protect your boyfriend, you started lying”
Cherry also sighed.
At that time, Leonard refused 200 thousand dollars’ consultation fee. To be honest, Cherry had some guesses about Leonard’s identity,
But looking at the current situation, Cherry was afraid that Leonard would keep up appearances.
“If it were Mr. Baker, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even bat an eye if he threw millions out.
“When Grandpa compared Leonard with Mr. Baker, it actually praised him a bit.”
