Chapter 28: Fullness For The Bold, Famine For The Timid

"Provocation! This is definitely a provocation!"

Donald jumped up from his chair and roared crazily.

"F * ck, who is this blind fool who dares to go against us?"

"It's best if you don't let me know who you are. Otherwise, I'll let you leave the imperial capital lying down."

Bang!

In the private room, a rich man sitting in the corner slammed the table fiercely and berated angrily,

"Stop arguing. Is there any point in saying such harsh words here? If you have the ability, why don't you beat the others in the bet!"

"That person want to play with us doesn't he? Let's continue playing with him. Why are we arguing like this?"

The person who spoke was called Salam. He was one of the two richest people in their small group.

Under normal circumstances, this person rarely spoke, but when he spoke, the entire group would quietly listen to his opinion.

"Donald, since you're the one presiding over today's matter, then continue presiding over it. I won't snatch it from you."

Salam stood up gently and walked to Donald's side.

"I don't want to quarrel with you today, and I don't have the time to quarrel with you. At this juncture, what we need the most is unity. Can you understand?"

"Let go of our personal grudges and work together. This matter concerns our face. We absolutely cannot retreat!"

Salam reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Donald to make peace.

In the private room, everyone quietly looked at Donald, waiting for his reaction.

Donald was a person who liked to express his opinions. He often considered himself the leader of a their small group.

In the past many years, Donald and Salam had often argued over the right to speak for the team.

Every time Salam expressed his opinion, Donald would stand on the opposite side of Salam, regardless of whether he was right or not.

Donald, now is not the time for internal strife!

Donald, you must not make trouble here. Hurry up and agree to Salam.

Mage God bless, do not let the two of them quarrel.

…

Amidst everyone's prayers, Donald stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Although I hate you, I have to admit that what you said makes sense."

"Unity is indeed what we need the most right now. I promise you."

After saying that, Donald proudly extended his right hand and squeezed Salam tightly.

Both of them held each other tightly, and every gambler in the private room broke out in a cold sweat for them.

Three minutes later, the two people, whose cheeks were purple and red, let go of each other's hands and sat back in their seats.

"Let's begin. Who's instrument hasn't placed a bet yet? Bring it over to me."

As soon as Donald finished speaking, a betting instrument was delivered to his hands.

After delivering the device, the person did not immediately return to his seat. Instead, he began to stutter.

"Is the deposit not enough?"

Donald raised his eyebrows and asked with extreme disdain.

"Just, just need a little bit more."

"Just a little bit more? Tell me how much more!"

"Take your things and get lost quickly. Come and look for me after you've filled up the deposit."

Donald was very angry. He had long been unhappy with this person.

Today, this person's cowardice and lack of sufficient deposit gave Donald sufficient reasons.

He immediately decided that after this matter was over, he would immediately kick this person out of their circle!

PA!

Slam, who had returned to his seat, picked up his device and threw it towards Donald's position.

"I have a deposit of 10 million here. You can use it as you like. Even if it's just this one, you can use up all of the 100 million betting amount."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Donald could agree, a man sitting next to him stood up.

"Please don't. We can't just throw away this 100 million. If that Hughes kid is scared away by us, the benefits we can get will be limited."

Hughes?

Everyone in the private room looked at the man who spoke.

"Yes, you didn't hear wrong. The person who placed the bet is very likely to be Hughes. Even if it isn't Hughes himself, then he has a close relationship with Hughes. I have evidence."

After saying that, the man reached into his pocket and took out a microphone.

Magic power was poured into it, and a woman's voice came out from the microphone. It was the assistant of the casino boss, Derrick.

"We've investigated it. The name of the account in which the bet was made is Will Smith."

Donald jumped up from his seat.

"Will Smith? Isn't that the butler of Duke Tulip?"

"No wonder they have so much guts to bet so much money. It turns out that they are personally going to bet."

At this moment, all the gamblers in the private room understood.

"No wonder they bet 10,000 more than us every time. It turns out that they are targeting us."

Salam stood up with a relaxed face and said with a faint smile,

"Everyone, since the second young master of the Tulip family is targeting us for military expenses today, we might as well play with him."

"I believe that with the Tulip family's upbringing, their children would not be so foolish as to use the family's military expenses as a bargaining chip."

As the leading family of the empire's top military nobles, the Tulip family had been around for thousands of years and was naturally very rich.

However, during the hundreds of years of fighting with the Empire's imperial family, a large portion of their foundations had been used up.

Through the news that they had just received, the super merchants in the private room quickly understood why the Tulip family wanted to participate in today's gamble.

To raise military funds through this unprecedented gamble!

Other than that, there was absolutely no other possibility!

"The bravest will die from overeating, and the timid will die from starvation!"

Donald strode to the center of the private room, not hiding the greed on his face at all.

"Since they have made such a bet, they must be 100% sure."

"Brothers, the opportunity to improve is right in front of us. Whether we can grasp it or not depends on everyone's courage."

Donald's eyes were as cold as frost as he said coldly,

"If we win this bet, we can split the wealth that the Tulip family has accumulated for thousands of years."

"But if we lose this round, we will be doomed!"

"But I'm not afraid. I, Donald, have never backed down from any opportunity in my life. Today, I will not back down!"

Donald slammed the table hard and said loudly,

"Is there anyone who is willing to advance and retreat with me in unison!"

In the private room, seven gamblers were affected by Donald's heroism. Their faces were red and their ears were red. They were so excited that they could not speak.

Only one person was coldly looking at the crowd. A sneer even appeared on the edge of his mouth.
