Luke never expected that Jack would dare to say such words to him.
Although Luke had considered helping Connor initially, he was rejected by him. Therefore, there was no unfairness in the gambling between Connor and Jack today.
“Jack, what do you mean by that? Our Harlem’s Gold has always relied on the words ‘integrity’ and ‘trustworthiness.’ That’s why we have such a thriving business. But now, you’re actually saying that our casino colluded with Connor to cheat?” Luke shouted at Jack with a cold tone.
Although Luke would give face to Jack’s father, it didn’t mean that he feared the Fenton family. He had been in the casino industry for many years, and he had formidable economic strength and connections. If they really fell out, he was not afraid of the Fenton family at all.
Jack seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and his expression became tense.
After all, Harlem’s Gold had been known as the most fair casino for many years. Not only did the employees of Harlem’s Gold not cheat, but the gamblers inside also dared not cheat.
“Mr. Luke, that’s not what I meant. I just spoke without thinking in the heat of the moment!” Jack hastily explained, then turned his head to look at Connor and whispered, “I think this kid must be hiding cards on him. He must be cheating!”
“Me, cheating?” Connor couldn’t help but smile lightly upon hearing his words. He squinted at Jack and said, “So now you suspect me of cheating?”
“Yes, I do suspect you of cheating!” He nodded quickly.
“Hehe…” Connor sneered and turned to Luke, asking, “Mr. Luke, what would you do if someone cheated in your casino?”
“Cut off their hands and return the winnings double!” Luke answered straightforwardly.
“Alright, I see!” Connor nodded lightly, then squinted his eyes and whispered to Jack, “If you suspect me of cheating, then I’ll give you a chance. I can allow the staff of Harlem’s Gold to frisk me. If they find any cards, I will return the winnings double as before, and you can even cut off my hands. But if they don’t find anything, you will cut off your hands and give me 50 million. What do you think?”
Upon hearing his words, Jack was instantly stunned.
He never expected Connor to be so audacious. Now he found himself in a difficult situation. He could sense his confidence when he spoke, indicating that he hadn’t cheated at all.
Jack had just lost nearly 50 million, and he didn’t know how to repay that amount. If Connor didn’t cheat, not only would he lose his hands, but he would also have to compensate him with 50 million. This deal clearly didn’t favor him!
“How about it? Do you dare to gamble with me? We can have Mr. Luke as the witness. If you don’t dare, then shut your mouth!” Connor stepped forward and domineeringly confronted Jack.
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “Fine, Connor, you’re ruthless!”
After saying that, He turned his head and glanced at Luke, then whispered, “Mr. Luke, I want to borrow another 50 million!”
At this moment, Jack surprisingly hadn’t given up and wanted to continue gambling with Connor.
Upon hearing this, Luke couldn’t help but smile helplessly and calmly said, “Mr. Jack, according to the rules of our casino, we cannot lend you any money until you have fully repaid your previous loan. Even if you repay the money, we cannot lend you 50 million because you don’t have the qualifications.”
“Mr. Luke, are you doubting my repayment ability?” Jack exclaimed, his eyes widening.
At this point, Luke didn’t give Jack any face at all. He simply nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, I am doubting your repayment ability now. If you really want to borrow money, you can call your father, Jeffery, right now. As long as he agrees, I can lend you money anytime.”
“You…” Jack’s expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing these words.
Because he dared not let his father know about this!
If his father found out that he had lost over 40 million in the casino, he would probably beat him to death.
“Fine, are you all ganging up on me?” Jack gritted his teeth and muttered.
“Mr. Jack, please watch your language. What do you mean by ‘ganging up on you’? If you continue to slander our casino, I will have the security directly throw you out!” Luke coldly said.
“No need for you to throw me out, I’ll leave by myself!” Jack shouted loudly, then walked straight up to Connor and pointed at his nose, saying, “Kid, I’ll remember you! Just wait for me!”
“Sure, I’ll be waiting for you to come and bring me money…” Connor replied with a smile.
“You…” Jack clenched his teeth and turned his head, walking outside the casino.
A few minutes later, he disappeared inside the casino.
Yelena looked at the chips on the table and could hardly believe what she was seeing. It was a whopping 50 million!
“Connor, are all these money really ours?” she asked Connor with her watery eyes.
“It is…” He gently shook his head.
“Well, we have to exchange them for cash!” she murmured to herself, then continued, “Connor, don’t just stand there, let’s quickly exchange these chips for cash…”
Connor looked at Yelena, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Because the amount of money in front of her was simply too much.
This money might not be much for Connor, but for Yelena, it was undoubtedly a huge sum. If she suddenly had such a large amount of money, he was worried that her life might be affected.
It’s a good thing to make someone rich, but it might not be a good thing if someone suddenly becomes wealthy.
Moreover, half of this money belonged to Connor as well. Once Connor agreed to let Yelena take the money, he would also become a rich man, and he wouldn’t be able to hide his identity anymore.
So, for the sake of both himself and Yelena, he believed that he must resolve this money issue.
And the fastest way to resolve it was to lose this money!
