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.

Why was this guy behaving like this? Could he really win? He seemed completely 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

yourself later, 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 black 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 place 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 dollars on Duncan."

"On Duncan, 15 million dollars."

"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 out laughing, 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 dollars altogether against you. I wonder if you

have so much money to play 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 dollars in cash with

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

The big shots exchanged glances, 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 dollars. Then it’s settled.

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

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

what about you guys? Shouldn’t you freeze 100 million dollars into a third-party account 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 black suits in the room came up to Maximilian, eyeing him fiercely. They Material © .

would beat Maximilian up with an order.

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

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

"The black 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 glanced at the black 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 dollars 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 clapped his hands. Brand new dices and dice boxes were brought to them.

"Even if you’re eager to start, it’s still necessary to explain 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 one coming 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 one coming up with more dots is the

winner."

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

excitement.

"Duncan is about to play 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 play the role of the

god of wealth."
