Chapter 304 Sore Loser
“Hey, what’s the big idea? Why can’t we see the result? Oh, are you feeling guilty?”
“You guys really cheated? D’mmit, and I lost so much money here! We’re telling the Duke!
“We’re going to see the result whether you like it or not!”
Amid the ruckus of gamblers, a sizable throng had gathered, drawn by the spectacle.

Accompanied by his entourage, the casino manager approached George, stating, “Our boss would like a word with you both.”
George’s response was direct, “Planning to bribe us, or intending harm?”
Even the most naive could discern their intentions. While many knew these two would never show up in this casino again, George’s directness was a novelty.
The manager’s smile carried an icy edge as he replied, “He just wants to be friends with you.”
With a composed demeanour, George retrieved a chip from Isabelle, urging, “Before that, let’s settle our
dues.”
In a decisive move, he flung the chip onto the dice cup, upsetting it.
To the astonishment of all, the dice displayed triple fives, prompting the crowd’s outcry, “They’re cheating, the girl called it right!”
Tension thickened, swirling with chaos.
Unfazed by the turmoil, the manager, backed by influential figures, remained stoic. Their confidence in their patrons‘ support was unshaken, even amid public scrutiny.
With a stern visage, the manager commanded his lackeys, “Escort these guests upstairs.”
A henchman moved towards Isabelle, but she broke his wrist in a sickening spin and slammed her foot at him, kicking him down to the ground.
In the ensuing melee, George swiftly cleared a path, shielding Isabelle. “Stay put, I’ve got this,” he urged.
He was worried Isabelle might get hurt.
The thugs were encroaching upon the couple everywhere, but George stood before Isabelle, taking them down as swiftly as he could.
Meanwhile, Isabelle, guided by touch, located the concealled button beneath the gambling table.
The manager, rising amidst the chaos, witnessed George’s prowess in combat. Spitting blood, he retrieved a gun, aiming it at George. “You Ardon scum!”
George floored the last assailant with a punch. The manager, gun trained on George, commanded, “You,
two o’clock.”
“Get down,” Isabelle warned.

Swiftly evading, a metal badge grazed George’s shoulder. The ricochet struck the manager’s arm, drawing
blood.
Grasping his injured arm, the manager recoiled. Before he could retaliate, George lunged, booting him through the casino’s entrance, where he crashed onto the street.
George retrieved the badge embedded on the wall, inspecting it briefly before returning it to Isabelle. Extending a hand to her, he said, “Let’s get out of here.”
Isabelle said, “We still have our chips to cash in.”
George asked, “Should I fetch the manager?”
“No,” Isabelle interjected, “We’ll handle it ourselves.”
Considering the situation, George remarked, “This is technically robbery.”
While it was the casino’s duty to reimburse them, actively retrieving the funds differed from conventional compensation.
Isabelle retorted, “Worried about your image? Mine’s not worth much. I’ll sort it out.”
“My reputation in Taragon City isn’t pristine either,” George admitted.
Linking arms, they proceeded to the cashier, ready to reap the rewards of their venture.
On the opposite side of the street, Dylan sat in his car with Jack, their gazes locked, when suddenly Jack let out a bark directed at the casino nearby.
Dylan glanced across and noticed a gathering at the casino’s entrance.
That’s probably Ms. Jenkins.
Did something go awry again? Did they cleaned out the casino with their winnings and they couldn’t pay, so Ms. Jenkins started a fight?
Because there’s no way either of them are going to lose the bets.
“Woof, woof, woof.”
Jack weaved through the crowd, his shiny gold dog tag catching everyone’s attention, prompting them to step back.
