Chapter 316
”Hahaha…” Nathan laughed derisively. ”In the whole of Solaris Province, no one is my match except my master!”
Rhys cheered on, knowing that Nathan was backing him up. ”That’s right! Don’t think too highly of yourself. You’re trash in Mr. Kearney’s eyes.”
On that note, he whispered to Nathan, ”Mr. Kearney, he’s very loaded, so he could be a gambling expert from other states. You must let him know who’s the boss here!”
”Very loaded, you say?” Nathan smiled mirthlessly. ”Being loaded at such a young age, if he isn’t born with a silver spoon, he must work in the black market.”
Nathan pointed at Kingsley and said, ”No matter how arrogant you act before others, I’ll make sure you know your place well!”
Kingsley lightly shook his head as he regarded Nathan’s pompous stance. He had gotten the Letter of Transfer for Sunshine Casino, so all he needed to do now was wait for Xanxus to see him.
There was no need to create complications and argue with the likes of Nathan.
”Whatever floats your boat.” Just then, Kingsley got up, walked to Rhys’ side, and said, ”Get Xanxus to see me tomorrow. I’m staying at Scarlett’s hotel. You know that place, right?”
With that, Kingsley was ready to leave. Rhys immediately broke out in cold sweat once he saw Kingsley’s intention of leaving.
”No! You can’t leave!” He blocked Kingsley with his arms and looked back pleadingly at Nathan. ”Mr. Kearney, please, help me get back the Letter of Transfer!”
At once, Nathan’s face darkened at the turn of events, for he did not expect Kingsley to ignore him like that. ”You punk! You should feel grateful that someone of my status wants to gamble with you.”
Then, he took a step forward and stared down at Kingsley. ”Others beg for this opportunity, yet you dare to reject me?”
On the side, Rhys continued to add fuel to the fire. ”Are you scared, Kingsley? You chicken. If so, return the Letter of Transfer to me now, and I’ll let you leave.”
When Kingsley heard those provocative words, his gaze turned cold as he glanced at them. ”What if I insist on leaving?” he said indifferently.
”Leave?”
Rhys felt he had nothing to lose upon hearing Kingsley’s calm retort. With Nathan backing him, he had all the confidence he needed. Therefore, with a wave of his arms, he commanded, ”Shut the doors! Don’t let him leave!”
At his words, a big group of burly men rushed in from the corners of the casino and blocked the door leading to the elevator.
A wave of panic washed over the crowd at the staff’s move; fear was written on their faces.
”Everyone, please stay calm!” Just then, Rhys raised his arms and reassured the crowd. ”Sunshine Casino has always been courteous with our customers! Unless there’s cheating, we would never resort to violence! But today, this man has not only cheated but also disrespected Mr. Kearney. That is an insult to the gamble master and Solaris Province’s underground gambling scene! So, please forgive me for using extreme measures. But, he must be punished!”
At Rhys’ words, the other immaculately dressed customers agreed and yelled, ”Nicholson! If you want to cause a scene, don’t drag us down too!”
”Exactly! Hurry up and play a round with Mr. Kearney. Stop wasting time!”
”Act like the man you are! Just gamble like the rest of us! You can leave if you win, but if you lose, you’ll just get beaten up, that’s all! So why did you involve us in your problems?”
Nathan smiled smugly and said triumphantly upon hearing the crowds’ displeased mutterings, ”Are you scared now? If you’re afraid of playing against me, leave the letter and get out of here!”
At his words, someone from the crowd sucked up to him and said, ”Ha! This guy must be scared. No one dares to play against Mr. Kearney in Solaris Province.”
Paige angrily pursed her lips when she heard those impudent words and ordered Kingsley, ”Go! Bet with him. Show him who’s boss! What a show-off!”
He shook his head resignedly at her orders and asked Nathan, ”What do you want to bet on?”
”We’ll use these dice.” Nathan picked up the dice cup on the table and looked inside. ”There are five dice here. Care for a round of Liar’s dice?”
