Life at The Top novel Chapter 359

Sebastian’s eyes were sparkling after hearing Hector’s comment.

He had not been gambling all because of the conference and the issue of going against Dawson. He had been itching to gamble that he could barely hold it any longer.

Even though he had a serious gambling addiction, he was still considered to be quite rational.

“That doesn’t sound like a good idea with everyone there being a stranger.”

Sebastian’s tone was slightly hesitant. He was not a fool who had just entered society. He was aware that even family members would also end up arguing when it came to gambling. As such, he thought he should be more cautious when gambling with strangers.

Hector said with a smile, “Uncle, we all know each other very well. We’ll be doing it at my villa on the outskirts. It’s extremely safe. It’s just that we lack a player. That’s why I’m asking to see whether you’re interested. If you’re not, then forget about it.”

Hearing it made the hesitancy in Sebastian’s heart vanish into thin air. He quickly replied, “I’m interested!”

At seven in the evening on that day, Sebastian arrived at the villa in the car Hector had sent with one million in cash.

“Uncle, only one million? Won’t you embarrass yourself here?”

Hector greeted Sebastian at the entrance of the villa. He looked at the box in his hand and said disdainfully.

Sebastian burst into laughter and said, “It’s just to play for fun. I don’t plan to gamble with a huge sum. I’ll return once I’ve lost it all.”

Hector chuckled and said, “Alright then. My brother is also inside. Let’s go in, everyone has arrived.”

Hector let out a cold smile when he saw Sebastian’s back figure that was entering through the door eagerly.

Sebastian was still being cautious with Hector, and the latter noticed it. However, Hector knew best what sort of attitude Hector would have on the gambling table.

This time, he had gotten the top ‘actors’ in the industry to help him out with this set-up and he was fully confident in it.

Sebastian entered the villa. The gambling table was set up, and three men were sitting on the sofa chit-chatting.

There were also a few gorgeous ladies who were in charge of serving drinks.

“Allow me to introduce you. This is my uncle, the boss of Kaymaroon.”

Jacob immediately got up and said with a smile when he saw Sebastian entering.

“Uncle, this is the boss of Hayes Mining Company from the Southwest Province, Hayes Lawson. There are tens of coal mines under him. He’s truly a big boss.”

“This is the boss of an investing company, Jordan Zinn. There are two listed companies under his name.”

Hearing the introductions sent Sebastian’s heart pumping hard.

‘These two people have a net worth that’s comparable to mine.’

He then looked at the chips that they brought. Each of them was starting with five million as the minimum bet.

At that moment, Sebastian regretted bringing so little cash and felt as if he had lost his dignity.

Hayes urged with his southwest slang. “Let’s begin since everyone has arrived.”

Hector came over as well and the four of them went to sit at their respective seats.

Each of them brought their boxes, opened them, and placed them at the side of their legs. With the four boxes combined, there was a total of 150 million in betting funds. When piled up, the money was stacked into a few piles and was eye-catching.

Hector waved his hand, and a middle-aged man who looked like the dealer walked out. He was in charge of distributing the cards.

Hector leaned on the chair and giggled while saying, “The old rules. We’ll be starting with 100,000. There’s no limit to winning, and those who have lost everything will withdraw. Who wants to check the cards with the dealer?”

Jordan immediately raised his hand and said, “Young Master Combe, you’re the one organizing this gambling session, so of course, there won’t be any problem with it. There’s no need to check.”

Hector noticed that Hayes and Sebastian were not saying anything. He then said with a smile, “Old rules, we’ll change the cards after every ten rounds. Even though everyone is friends here and no one will pull any tricks on each other, but still, we have to follow the rules.”

After talking, Hector gave the dealer the signal to distribute the cards.

Jacob sat on the sofa and took his sweet time to make himself a cup of tea. He squinted his eyes and witnessed the gambling session unfold with a calm expression.
