Chapter 683 The Bet


    Maximilian patted Beatrice on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, I’m not gonna tease you


    anymore. You don’t respond to my jokes at all and it’s not fun teasing you. Just watch how I win that


    Duncan."


    Beatrice covered her cheeks with her hands, feeling hopeless.


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Why was this guy behaving like this? Could he really win? He seemedpletely unreliable. Anyway,


    she was under threat and had kept her promise by taking Maximilian here.


    Beatrice caught up with Maximilian, grabbed his arm and said, "This way. Don’t walk around."


    Beatrice took Maximilian to the presidential suite at the end of the hallway.


    "They have invited some big shots to be our witnesses, and they are partial to Duncan. So, behave


    yourselfter, and don’t provoke them."


    Maximilian answered casually, "You’re the boss. Whatever you say."


    Beatrice knocked on the door of the presidential suite.


    The door was opened soon. Two bodyguards in ck suits appeared, sizing Maximilian up with their


    eagle eyes.


    Maximilian frowned slightly and asked in displeasure, "What? Are we not allowed in?"


    "Excuse me, you have to go through a body search."


    One of the two bodyguards took out a metal detector and scanned the two, while the other bodyguard


    went through Maximilian’s pockets and frisked him. Then they opened the door and let the two of them


    in.


    "Wow, this ce is heavily guarded. Seems that they are all afraid of death."


    Beatrice threw Maximilian a ferocious stare. She plucked at his sleeve, shook it and said in a sweet


    voice, "Those are some important figures inside. Be careful what you say. Don’t stir up trouble for no


    reason."


    "Well, alright."


    Seeing Beatrice entering, those big shots, who were blowing smoke and chatting, all stood up and


    walked up to them, sizing Maximilian up.


    "So this is the master you’ve invited? He looks too gentle to be a master."


    "Hahaha, I’m afraid Beatrice has invited her boyfriend over, but it seems that Duncan is sure to win


    again this time."


    "Is anyone interested in a bet on them? We can’t just watch them without doing anything. It’ll be fun to


    make a bet on them."


    One of the big shots suggested and the rest echoed him.


    "This is a great idea. I’ll stake 10 million dors on Duncan."


    "On Duncan, 15 million dors."


    "Also on D… Fuck, if we all put our money on Duncan, why bother betting?"


    The big shots stared at Beatrice at the same time.


    Before Beatrice could speak, Maximilian smiled and said, "Then let me bet against all of you. I’ll stake


    the same amount of money that you bet Duncan will win on myself."


    Suddenly, the big shots burst outughing, looking at Maximilian as if he was a sucker.


    "How brave you are, young man. You dare do anything to push yourself forward in front of a beauty.


    Then, we have to bet something big. We’ll bet 100 million dors altogether against you. I wonder if you


    have so much money to y with us?"


    Beatrice tugged on Maximilian’s arm and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, we don’t make another bet.


    How about we start right away as agreed?"


    One of the big shots raised his eyebrows, put on a false smile and said, "We are not making a bet with


    you, Beatrice. We are making a bet with this young man, right?"


    Maximilian nodded. "Exactly. I’ll bet with you guys, but no one will take 100 million dors in cash with


    him. My wife is the President of Topyuan Group, and I believe my status is worth 100 million dors."


    The big shots exchanged nces, showing a grim smile.


    "So it’s Mr. Lee. Sorry I didn’t recognize you.”


    “In this case, we naturally believe Mr. Lee is totally qualified to bet 100 million dors. Then it’s settled.


    When the bet between Mr. Lee and Duncan starts, there will be an oue of our bet too."


    Maximilian said, smiling, "Now that I’ve proved that I’m able to stake 100 million dors on the bet,


    what about you guys? Shouldn’t you freeze 100 million dors into a third-party ount first?


    Otherwise, what if you go back on your words?"


    "Bastard! How dare you challenge us?" A red-faced fiery man with big eyes and bushy eyebrows was


    enraged by Maximilian’s remark at once.


    "I’m not challenging you guys, but reminding you. You are sure to lose the bet, so I advise you to


    prepare the money in advance. If you can’t take that money out then, I’ll take your lives."


    A group of bodyguards in ck suits in the room came up to Maximilian, eyeing him fiercely. They


    would beat Maximilian up with an order.


    Beatrice fell into a panic. Just when she wanted to exin, she was stopped by Maximilian.


    The man with highest prestige sneered, took out a ck card and pped it on the table.


    "The ck card of American Express. There is more than 100 million in it. If you don’t believe it, young


    man, you may have a check."


    Maximilian nced at the ck card and said with a smile, "I was just reminding you. Where’s that


    Duncan? Let him out now to bet with me. I’m waiting to collect the money when I win the bet."


    The door of the inner room in the presidential suite was pushed open. At this moment, a professional


    gambling table had already been set up in it, while Duncan was in a fine suit, sitting on the host seat.


    Watching Maximilian next to Beatrice, Duncan said with an enigmatic face, "His fingers are slender, his


    joints small. Beatrice, the one you found is a noob. He’s not one of us at all."


    The other big shots started to guffaw and chimed in, "Well, what you don’t know is that this is a brave


    one. He should have bet 10 million dors against us on your bet. Duncan, please win the game


    quickly so that we can win some side money."


    Maximilian ignored the ridicule, pulled a chair and sat down opposite Duncan.


    "Are you giving me a face reading or making a bet with me? If you want to bet with me, let’s get started.


    Once the dice is rolling, you can’t take your money back, and I can’t wait to win all your money."


    Duncan sneered and pped his hands. Brand new dices and dice boxes were brought to them.


    "Even if you’re eager to start, it’s still necessary to exin the rules first. It’s a best of three games. In


    the first game, the one with more points wins. In the second game, the one with fewer point wins. In the


    third game, the oneing up with more dots wins. As for dots, you may shatter the dices into pieces


    by shaking them. Among those pieces with the dots facing up, the oneing up with more dots is the


    winner."


    Astonished at the rules Duncan exined, Beatrice gasped, while other big shots started to heckle in


    excitement.


    "Duncan is about to y his best card again. Young man, you must haven’t heard such rules before,


    have you? However, countless masters have been defeated by Duncan in this game."


    "Why bother talking to him? Didn’t he ask Duncan to start the game as soon as possible? Then let’s get


    started now. We won’t refuse the money offered by others. This time, Mr. Lee will y the role of the


    god of wealth."
