Chapter 678

Walter’s eyes gleamed brightly as he clenched his fists. “Listen up, Louie. Stake everything we have on Ashton winning. Don’t even hesitate. Go all in on the betting pool.”

Louie trembled. He didn’t expect Walter to be this reckless.

“But Dad, I don’t think Ashton will win…”

Louie was afraid of squandering the fortune that Walter had spent decades amassing. They might even end up losing their lives.

“I don’t think so either, but that doesn’t stop us from making this decision,” Walter said with a smile. “Life is just one big gamble anyway. We’re betting on the man Ashton is. Since we’ve made this decision, we shouldn’t waver. Go get it done as quickly as possible.

“Once this is settled, you will be one of Ashton’s most trusted confidantes. The Holt Crew will have every opportunity to thrive. Even if we lose, it just means we’ll die. As it is, to die while challenging the Sage would be a pretty impressive way to go.”

“I understand now, Dad. I’ll get it done right away!” Louie clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.

Meanwhile, over at the Gale Assembly, Cadence and his secretary, Millie, were also considering the odds of the battle between Ashton and Flint.

“Mr. Suther, an overwhelming majority of powerful figures and factions have bet on the Sage in the Curios Chamber’s betting pool. The odds for Ashton have hit three to one.

“From what I’ve heard, the Sage has already sent word to all the factions, demanding that we make a clear choice. The bet we place will essentially signify where our loyalty lies,” Millie reported solemnly, her lips pursed.

Cadence frowned hard. “The Sage sent someone over?”

Millie nodded. “Ms. Nunley came over. She made it clear that as long as you support the Sage, two–thirds of Javonbury’s factions would join the Gale Assembly.

“The Sage will be fully supporting the Gale Assembly’s growth as well. He even claims that you will be equal to George Moore, the richest man of Javonbury.”

Cadence’s eyes burned with desire. From the moment he founded the Gale Assembly, his goal was to win over the major factions and eventually go toe–to–toe with George.

He even wanted to surpass George and become the richest man in Javonbury himself.

His chance had finally come.

If the Gale Assembly could control two–thirds of Javonbury’s factions, and with Flint supporting them as well, he could certainly challenge George.

“Has Ashton said anything?” Cadence asked, his eyes narrowing.

Millie shook her head. “Mr. Gray hasn’t done anything. As far as I know, he hasn’t tried to interfere with any of the faction’s decisions.”

“That’s indeed his style.”

Cadence was hesitant. “What would your choice be, Millie?”

After giving it some serious thought, she replied, “Logically speaking, I should choose the Sage, but if I were to follow my heart, I’d choose Mr. Gray.”

Cadence looked up at the night sky and sighed. “Tell the Sape that the Gale Assembly is happy to cooperate with him. Also, sort out our funds and slowly place bets on the Sage retaining his position as king of javonbury’s criminal underworld. Make sure to maximize our profits.”

“Understood,” Millie replied.

She seemed to have seen his choice coming,

After all, at its core, the Gale Assembly cared about profit above all else, and Cadence’s goal was to become the richest man in Javonbury,

Now that he was being presented with this opportunity, there was no way he wouldn’t choose to support Flint.

A businessman like him chose profit above all else. Loyalty and friendship were meaningless in comparison to wealth.
