Chris rolled his eyes and said, “If we’re not leaving, are you inviting me to dinner then?”
“You…”
Sean Hunter’s face turned a livid shade of iron. He hadn’t expected that after bringing people with him, Chris would still dare to be so arrogant.
“Kid, you are quite arrogant! I wonder if you’ll still be able to maintain that arrogance shortly?”
After saying this, Sean Hunter waved his hand.
Immediately, two bodyguards approached.
These bodyguards exuded a terrifying aura, evidently both practitioners of the Transcendence realm.
Chris narrowed his eyes slightly. The Hunter family truly lived up to their reputation as one of the top four salt merchant families.
Just two random bodyguards, and both were practitioners of the Transcendence realm.
“Kill him!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hearing the order, the two bodyguards immediately charged towards Chris.
Seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Chris’s lips.
He clenched his fists and then charged forward.
Bang! Bang!
Two loud sounds rang out as their fists collided.
In an instant, the two bodyguards were sent flying backward.
Spurt! Spurt!
The bodyguards spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked at Chris.
They had never imagined that Chris’s strength would be so formidable.
The two Transcendence realm practitioners had joined forces, yet they were no match for Chris.
Seeing his bodyguards defeated, Sean Hunter cursed furiously, “Useless! What a bunch of trash! I spent so much money to hire you, and you’re beaten so easily!”
Sean Hunter’s insults inflicted humiliation on the bodyguards.
Although they were bodyguards, they were also practitioners of the Transcendence realm.
As practitioners, each had their own dignity.
“Young master, we are not his match. Please find someone more capable,” one of the bodyguards said.
After saying this, the two bodyguards turned and left.
“You…”
Seeing the bodyguards leave, Sean Hunter trembled with rage.
He hadn’t expected the bodyguards to disobey him, making him feel as if he had been slapped in public.
However, since these bodyguards were assigned by the family to protect him, Sean Hunter was powerless to punish them.
Sean Hunter turned to look at Chris and said coldly, “Kid, I didn’t expect you to be so strong! Dare to come over to Riverton and see if I don’t end you!”
“Is that so?”
Slap!
Without any hesitation, Chris slapped Sean Hunter hard across the face and roared, “Get lost! The East Coast doesn’t welcome you. If I see you here again, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
Sean Hunter covered his face, staring intently at Chris.
As a young master of the Hunter family, he had never been struck like this.
He wanted to rage, but he knew he was no match for Chris.
“Kid, just you wait, I will not let this go easily!”
After saying this, Sean Hunter turned and left.
Seeing Sean Hunter leave, Dylan Piper’s face was extremely pale.
Originally, Dylan Piper had invited Sean Hunter to the East Coast in hopes of collaborating with the Hunter family.
But after this incident, it seemed that any hope of cooperation had completely evaporated.
Dylan Piper looked at Chris, said nothing, shook his head, and left with a look of helplessness.
Esther approached, looking worried, and said, “Dear, you’ve offended another major family.”
Chris was nonchalant, “What’s there to fear? It’s just the Hunter family; they’re nothing serious. If the Hunter family dares to trouble me, I will make them regret it!”
Hearing this, Esther didn’t say anything more.
After all, Chris had already made enough enemies, so one more wouldn’t make much difference.
Days quickly passed, and Esther was ready to leave for Gambling City today. She had already contacted the big boss in Gambling City beforehand. Once there, they could immediately discuss a partnership. For Esther’s safety, Chris had no choice but to accompany her. Soon, the two headed to the airport and flew out from the East Coast. Around seven in the evening, Chris and Esther arrived in Gambling City.
It had been a while since Chris and Esther last visited Gambling City.
“Boss!”
Leif Tate, the governor of Gambling City, greeted them respectfully as they disembarked the plane. The last time Chris visited, he had wiped out the Sample family. Now, Leif was uneasy about Chris’s return, unsure of his intentions. Could it be another storm brewing?
“Boss, I have arranged a hotel for you,” Leif said with all due respect. Chris nodded without a word. They then went to the hotel arranged by Leif Tate and checked in.
“Darling, shall we go out and have some fun?”
Esther suggested, seeing that it was still early.
“Sure!”
Chris agreed, and they left the hotel together. Truth be told, there wasn’t much to do in Gambling City besides gambling.
They ended up at a casino. After the King of Gambling’s demise, all the casinos in Gambling City had gone through a major cleanup. The casinos had become much more honest, although incidents of scamming still occurred, extreme events like the previous kidnapping of Susan were rare.
The casino they visited was not the largest in Gambling City but was significant. The first floor was filled with thousands of slot machines and fruit machines, primarily for casual entertainment. The real high-stakes gambling took place upstairs, which Esther had no interest in visiting.
Chris exchanged tens of thousands of dollars for chips and handed them to Esther to play. Curious, Esther approached a slot machine and asked Chris, “Darling, how does this work?”
“I’ll show you,” Chris explained briefly, and soon Esther got the hang of it. Slot machines varied, but most operated similarly: insert chips, choose patterns, and win payouts if identical symbols aligned. Though machines could be adjusted for difficulty, the money at stake was trivial for Chris and Esther.
Not knowing much about gambling, Esther kept inserting chips vigorously. However, her luck was extraordinarily good. In no time, she won $100, 000.
“Wow, this is so much fun!”
she exclaimed.
$100, 000. $200, 000. $500, 000. $1, 000, 000. In a short period, Esther had made a million dollars. Yet, she wasn’t satisfied and kept playing. Soon, her winnings escalated to $10 million. This incredible streak caught the attention of those around her.
“This woman’s luck is too good,” someone remarked.
“Yeah, I’ve been playing slots for years and never won this much.”
“Could the machine be broken?”
another wondered.
