Others immediately looked at Casey incredulously with their mouth open.
"He…he paid it... How could he have been so rich?"
"It's a credit card, and his credit limit is more than fifteen thousand dollars. Mine is only two thousand dollars."
"Oh my god, he even spent nearly fifteen thousand dollars at random. I’m afraid I can’t be so generous in my life."
……
Hunter saw that Casey actually paid half of the meal, and suddenly felt upset.
He just thought that if Casey couldn’t get so much money, then he could pin the blame on him. He would say that it was Casey who wanted dine and dash, then the hotel would get even with him.
But what made him surprised was that Casey really had so much money. Therefore, he had only to pay it.
After receiving Casey's money, the waiter went to Hunter and asked, "Sir, can you pay now?"
Hunter took out a card and handed it to the waiter grudgingly.
There was only seventeen thousand dollars on his account. He thought that there would be none left after paying the meal and the following karaoke.
"Damn it. It's all because of you. I’ll make things very difficult for you while singing." Hunter said with his teeth grinded.
After a while, the waiter returned the card to Hunter. Hunter took it over painfully, and then said to the crowd, "Let's go, let's go sing now and have fun."
The crowd immediately cheered, then they left TC International Hotel and went to a famous karaoke nearby.
Karaoke was not a high-end consumption place, although the wine was expensive, but Hunter could afford it. He was not worried that he would need to spend nearly ten thousand dollars more. He thought that it would be one thousand dollars at most.
His only purpose now was to make an ass of Casey, so as that he could show that he was better than Casey.
Casey and Edith were sitting in the corner, like square pegs in round holes.
But Casey enjoyed staying with Edith together very much. Edith meant the whole world to him, and he didn’t care about others at all.
Hunter was jealous to see they were so intimate, directly holding a few dices, sitting opposite Casey.
"It’s too boring that you two just sit here and don't sing. Let’s play the dice game." Hunter stared at Edith.
Edith shook her head immediately and said, "I don’t know how to play."
Hunter looked to Casey, said, "As Edith doesn’t play it, then you take her place. Let’s play the dice game, and the one who loses needs to drink, OK?"
Casey shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don’t want to play it."
Hunter sneered immediately and said, "Are you afraid of losing? You are too cowardly even afraid of playing a game. You know I am very straightforward, please forgive me if my words hurt you. They all said you are a loser, at first, I do not believe it. Now it seems that they are true as you even dare not to play a dice game. "
"It's normal for him dare not to play with you, he's such a coward, how dare he dare to play with you." Diana who sat next to Edith said sarcastically.
"Casey aren’t like a man, even has no courage to play dice game with Hunter."
"It's a pity that Edith married him."
"Is he afraid of losing and drinking. He still dares not play as the bet is so small. How can he be successful?"
……
Edith heard those people's words, but also a little embarrassed, pursed her lips.
Hunter heard this, immediately continued, "Casey, you are really not a man, let Edith embarrassed in this occasion. If I were you, I would never let her so face-free."
Casey frowned, the reason that he did not want to play with him was he thought the game was so simple that he had defeated all the people of Davies family when he was only eight.
He didn't expect Hunter would mention Edith.
Casey thought, "Well, since Hunter himself wanted to disgraced, he would not go easy on him."
"Okay, I'll play with you." Casey said.
Seeing Casey promise, Hunter sneered and said, "Well, since you promised, we can’t stop until one of us drinks to vomit, even it will last the whole night."
"It doesn't take that long. I will end it in thirty minutes." Casey replied.
Hunter did not understand the meaning of Casey’s words, thought Casey was to say that he would vomit in half an hour, immediately laughed. He thought Casey was really a wuss who thought he would lose before starting.
Diana looked at Casey and said, "You really have self-knowledge. Hunter has won the dice game all the time. He can definitely beat you in half an hour."
Several more people gathered around, looking curiously at Casey and Hunter, in their view, there was no doubt that Hunter would win.
"Hunter is a good drinker and he can even drink more than ten people can do. Casey can’t win at all."
