Esther had not expected her luck to be so good; she had casually played and won tens of millions of dollars. Seeing that they had won enough, Chris said, “Esther, let’s go back!”
“Sure!”
Esther had only come to play for a bit and, seeing so many people watching her, didn’t want to continue.
“Hello, our young master would like to invite you over!”
Just as Chris and Esther were preparing to leave, a casino staff member stopped them.
“Your young master?”
Chris frowned immediately.
“Sorry, we don’t know your young master; please let us through!”
After saying this, Chris and Esther were about to leave when suddenly, a large group of casino security rushed out. The security guards immediately blocked Chris and Esther’s way, preventing them from leaving the casino. Chris narrowed his eyes and said, “What is the meaning of this?”
“There’s no particular meaning; our young master wants to see you, please come with us!”
Realizing the situation, Chris understood that they insisted on meeting him today. Chris also wanted to see who exactly wanted to meet him. Following the staff member, Chris and Esther went to a luxurious box on the second floor of the casino. Upon entering the box, Chris saw a young man sitting on the sofa. Chris sat down directly opposite him and asked straightforwardly, “Who are you?”
The young man smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself first; my name is Phil King. I belong to the King family, the leading family in Gambling City!”
Since the King of Gambling, Shane Sample was eliminated by Chris, the King family had replaced the Sample family as the top family in Gambling City. Chris asked indifferently, “The King family? What do you want with us?”
Chris did not really care about the King family. If the King family dared to provoke him, Chris would not mind giving them the same fate as the Sample family. Phil King chuckled lightly and said, “Don’t be nervous; I have no ill intentions! Tomorrow, our King family’s gambling boat will be heading to the high seas, and we’d like to invite you to join us on our gambling boat.”
“A gambling boat?”
Chris was momentarily startled. He knew about such things; after all, he had seen many movies like ‘King of Gambling’ and ‘God of Gamblers’. In these movies, the protagonist would gamble on boats in international waters, beyond the jurisdiction of any nation’s laws. Chris frowned and said, “Sorry, we’ll think about it!”
After saying this, Chris pulled Esther away and they left. Watching Chris and Esther’s departing figures, a mysterious smile appeared on Phil King’s lips.
“Someone, keep a close watch on these two immediately!”
“Yes!”
Shortly, a few subordinates left. Phil King took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Lord Wang, Chris Shelby has come to Gambling City.”
“Alright, I know what to do. Rest assured!”
After hanging up the phone, a smug expression formed on Phil King’s face.
“Chris oh Chris! There are many paths to heaven, yet you choose none, and no gates to hell, yet you barge in. Little did you expect that this trip to Gambling City will be where you lay to rest, and once you are dead, Gambling City will be completely under my King family’s control!”
Ever since the death of Shane Sample, Phil King had always wanted to become the next King of Gambling.
To become the next King of Gambling, there was one person Phil King could not ignore: Chris. Chris had already declared that Gambling City did not need a second King of Gambling. This meant that if Phil wanted to claim that title in Gambling City, his only option was to eliminate Chris. Only by taking Chris out could he have a chance to become the second King of Gambling!
After returning to the hotel, a shadow of gloom appeared on Chris’s face. This sudden emergence of Phil King put him on alert. Why would Phil invite him to a gambling ship for no apparent reason? To offer favors without cause is either treachery or theft!
“How interesting! Very interesting indeed! It seems after the fall of the Sample family, some people can no longer sit still. Well, no matter who you are, if you dare to step forward, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Chris narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold gleam shooting out from them.
The next day, Esther received a phone call from a big boss. The big boss told Esther that if she wanted to discuss cooperation, she had to come to the gambling ship. This put Esther in a difficult position. Honestly, she did not want to go to the gambling ship. However, if she did not go, the cooperation would fall through.
Chris, smiling, said, “Dear, why don’t we go to the gambling ship and see the world? I heard they are holding some sort of gambling god competition there. It could be fun to join in.”
After some thought, Esther nodded.
“Okay!”
Subsequently, Chris and Esther headed to the dock. There, a luxurious cruise ship was docked, prepared by the King family as the gambling ship. The cruise was incredibly lavish, equipped with various gambling tools, and also featured bars, cafes, and the like.
The gambling god competition attracted many participants, including many of the world’s top hundred billionaires. However, not everyone could access the gambling ship; only those with assets over a billion dollars were allowed on board.
As the president of Chester Group, with a net worth in the billions, Esther naturally could board the ship. Once on board, she realized just how massive it was. The ship could accommodate tens of thousands, with thousands of staff members. It boasted swimming pools, movie theaters, golf courses, and more. On this gambling ship, there was nothing you could imagine that couldn’t be done.
After boarding, Esther called the big boss, who then arranged for Chris and her to meet in a private box. Led by the staff, Chris and Esther entered the box.
“We meet again!”
Phil King looked up, smiling broadly.
“What? It’s you?”
Esther exclaimed in surprise.
“Miss Jefferson, hello, I am the big boss you were supposed to meet,” Phil King said with a smile.
“Huh?”
At this, Esther was taken aback. She had never met this big boss before; they had only communicated by phone. Now, face to face, she learned that this so-called big boss was Phil King.
Chris’s expression darkened. Phil King had pretended to be the big boss to lure Esther to Gambling City. Now that they were here, he had tricked them onto the gambling ship. What exactly did Phil King want?
