A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1547 You Are Cheating

Hunk spoke in a calm manner. He didn't even lift an eyebrow out of curiosity.

Upon seeing this, the old butler felt worried. He tried his best to keep his mouth shut. But in the end, he knew he had to voice out his concerns. “Shouldn't we be stopping him? The young master might do—“

Before the butler could finish his words, Hunk decisively intervened. “Why should we stop him? Because he's taking over a casino?“

The old butler could only sigh at Hunk's response. He couldn't understand why his master didn't seem to care at all. As a result, he continued his words from earlier. “I'm afraid that the young master's actions are for the wrong reason. Especially since the Ke Group has always upheld its clean reputation. We've never even set foot on the grey area before.“

At that moment, Hunk felt amused. With a subtle smile on his face, he replied, “You don't seem to get my point, do you? Ask yourself this: would Louis let Bill walk all over him?“

“Mr. Hunk, are you saying what I think you're saying?“ the butler asked in surprise when he realized that Hunk knew exactly what was going on.

“I know what Louis is doing and I trust him,“ Hunk uttered with keen eyes that were as sharp as a knife. His tone was just like on a normal day, showing his confidence in his son.

From the moment Hunk heard the news, he immediately knew what Louis was up to. Even if he wanted to stop his son, he knew that there was not a sliver of a chance of doing so.

“Raising a kind and righteous man is easier compared to an ungrateful wolf, don't you agree?“ Hunk asked with a meaningful smile on his face. After that, he casually took a sip of his tea like there was nothing wrong in the world.

A faint fragrance of tea suddenly surrounded the air around them. Right at that moment, the butler finally understood what Hunk meant.

With a smile, the butler answered, “I see. I'm so sorry for underestimating Mr. Ke's capabilities. I promise it won't happen again, master.“

Hunk didn't respond to his sincere apology. Instead, he reminded his dear butler in a low voice, “There's no need for us old men to interfere in matters like this anymore. The only time that we should ask Louis to stop is if he puts the Ke Group at risk of completely collapsing.“

The old butler nodded in agreement and replied, “I understand. I'll send someone to watch him.“

When everything was settled, a confident smile made its way onto Hunk's face. He gently placed his teacup on the table, and then cleared his throat.

“There comes a day when we have to give the younger generation the chance to carve out their own path. If we stop them from doing what they truly want in life, they'll only end up hating us.“

Hunk's inspirational words brought a smile to the butler's face. He quickly replied, “You're right, sir!“

After letting out a sigh of relief, he added, “I hope Mr. Ke can get what he wants.“

After talking about Louis for a while, Hunk wanted to play some more chess. “Just forget about it for now. Let's play a few more games.“

While scratching his head, the old butler gave a bitter smile and said, “Please sir, let's take a break. You've beaten me more than a dozen times already.“

With that, Hunk let go of the chess pieces and responded, “All right. Let's call it a day. But you'd better go back and practice more before we play again.“

The old butler breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the study room with the chessboard.

As soon as Hunk was left alone, his face showed a bit of concern. While his eyes stared at the floor, he whispered to himself, “Show me how far you can go, son.“

A few nights later, countless men were having fun in an underground casino.

Out of the blue, a man wearing a dashing suit and leather shoes appeared. He swaggered his way past security, and then sat down at the bar. As soon as he did, he ordered the waiter to get him some tea in an extremely rude manner.

Unfortunately for the waiter, anyone in the casino who had money to spend was to be respected. Everyone there who saw the mysterious man speak in a rude way hated him. But no one dared to tell him off; they all just despised him in their hearts and continued to play.

When the man was finished with his drink, he walked towards the gambling table in the middle of the hall. Then, he threw out a black card with gold accents and shouted, “One million. I'm in.“

His bold gesture attracted everyone's attention. Since there were a million dollars on the line, not a single person in that casino wanted to miss what was going to happen.

Even though anyone who came to the casino to play was obviously rich, betting that much in a single move was something that only happened a few times in a year.

The manager took notice of this mysterious man's lavishness and deemed him as a distinguished guest. With a smile, he tended to the man and brought him a chair. He even ordered someone to get their brand new customer a drink. After all, not every rich man that came there had a black card. In the manager's mind, the man must be a VIP whom he hadn't come across before.

A few moments later, the beautiful female dealer began to hand everyone their cards.

Every person around the table waited in anticipation. When the other cards were dealt, everyone gasped in shock.

The mysterious man had lost.

In a blink of an eye, a million dollars was gone!

Before everyone could come back to their senses, the man threw out another black card onto the table. There was not a single trace of sorrow in his face; only the will to play some more.

“I can't believe it! I haven't won a single time today,“ he casually said.

Such a gambler was a common occurrence in casinos. Everyone who would routinely visit one had seen many men like him before. That being said, they couldn't help but marvel at his extravagance.

In the span of an hour, the mysterious man managed to lose ten times in a row, making the total 10 million dollars.

Instead of feeling sorry for the man, everyone felt even more excited. Because the man wasn't about to give up. Even though he was down ten million dollars, he still wanted to turn the tables.

The plea for the man to stop became louder and louder. However, the man turned a deaf ear to everyone and took out another ten million.

In just half an hour, the man managed to lose all his money once again. Despite wanting to go on, he had gone through all the black cards he had.

Even though everyone cheered him on and some even gave advice on what number to choose, he still lost it all.

The total of his losses was a resounding forty million dollars in a single night. The mysterious man no longer had the cheerful spirit he had come with. He couldn't take it anymore and his expression darkened. He shouted at the dealer, “This casino's a scam!“

As soon as he said those words, everyone became silent. The only thing they could do was to look at each other.

In their minds, it was absolutely impossible for Bill's staff to cheat.

Despite everyone's beliefs, the man proceeded to blame the casino for cheating him out of his money. “You must've done something to make me lose! Stand aside and let me see what you have there!“

Since it was such a high stakes game, the dealer earlier had been replaced with the casino manager midway. When he heard the man's accusations, his face turned sour. “Sir, we would never do that. Our boss made it clear that anyone who cheats would get punished.“

The man sneered at the manager's response. He was so furious that he didn't care how he acted anymore. “If you're so sure, then stand up and let me check.“

With so many curious eyes waiting to see what would happen, the manager couldn't refuse the man's request. With a frown, he allowed the man to inspect the dealer's seat. “Sir, please don't break anything.“

The man sneered again. “Do you think I'm a scumbag like you?“

Everyone patiently waited while the man swaggered his way to the dealer's seat.

The whole casino was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

To everyone's surprise, a secret compartment containing brand new cards suddenly appeared from a crack on the table. No one could explain what was happening, but everyone agreed that the man had definitely been cheated.

The silence made things even more awkward. No one wanted to speak or even breathe out loud. The only one who was brave enough to open his mouth was the man who had just confirmed his suspicions. “You liar! You cheating scumbag!“

Despite working there, the manager was also shocked. He had had no clue that there was such a device on the table.

“Sir, please let me explain...“ the manager uttered in an attempt to calm the man down. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Unfortunately for him, the mysterious man had already lost all his patience long ago. With a fierce voice, he shouted at the manager. “Whatever you have to say, I don't want to hear it! Your casino's a fraud! I'm calling the police right now!“

Upon being threatened with a police report, the manager panicked and scrambled to look for his boss.

He soon remembered that Bill hadn't come to the casino that day. An unfortunate realization came to him. He was the only one who could protect the casino at that moment. To add to the manager's problems, he had been assigned under a new boss with an extremely erratic temper. He knew that if he were to let the man report the casino, he would surely lose his job.

Filled with fright and not knowing what to do, the manager calmly asked if the man could come to the reception room to work things out.

The man ignored his request and shouted in response, “Why would I even work things out with a cheating casino like this place! You don't care about your custumers! You just cheat them out of their money!“

The stressful situation gave the manager a throbbing headache. He rubbed his temples while the man continued to shout straight at his face.

In the end, donning a ghostly pale face, the manager finally found a solution. The casino agreed to give the man back all his money in exchange for his departure.
