Becoming the Richest Man Alive

The old man seemed to be infuriated due to his subordinates’ actions. He patted his chest, feeling a

little out of breath.

The person next to him immediately brought him a basin. Then, the old man spat out a mouthful of

thick phlegm and immediately felt much better. He leaned on his cane and walked to the monitor

afterward. As he looked at the ecstatic Terrence on the screen, he said, “That fellow, Sawyer, told us

beforehand to let Terrence gamble if he came. And his people will expedite the gambling debts. I

thought it’ll be fine since our chips aren’t real money. We can win back however much we lend out.”

The emotion in his voice grew more assertive. “I didn’t expect this piece of trash to bring a cheater with

him to win my money. No, in fact, I have to refer to this person as King of Cheats. Although I made a

debut earlier, he is much more famous than I am. This guy, Eugene Yackley!”

His subordinate on the side asked, “How does this person compare to your gambling skills, boss?”

The old man knocked on his cane. “I had a leg broken in the past while he had one of his legs, his

fingers, and his ear chopped off on the high seas. Now, I am worth hundreds of millions and run such a

large gambling resort, but he still cheats at the gambling resort. Isn’t it clear who is the winner here?”

The people around them chimed in, “That’s right! How can this cripple be compared to our boss?”

“For now, let’s see how far they are taking this. Send someone down to watch Terrence and Eugene.

Never let them escape.”

“Don’t worry, boss. Terrence owes us twenty-five million. His chips aren’t enough for him to exchange

money.”

Casper looked at the cards in his hand, and his mind was dazed. By now, he had played the game

several times and was slightly familiar with the rules. This time, Casper had gotten relatively good

cards. At this moment, Eugene quickly declared he would follow and put in a million. Casper looked at

the chips in his hand, and only five million were left. His heart ached a little while looking at the chip he

had left.

“All-In!” Unexpectedly, a person next to Casper pushed in all the chips in his hand. Casper was stunned

by his action. That person had chips worth over four million in his hand. Yet, he stubbornly went all-in.

When Casper saw that man’s reddened eyes, he immediately understood what was happening. That

man’s brain got hooked on gambling, just like Terrence and the excessive gamblers of Dragon and

Tiger Gang.

Casper got overwhelmed by his competitiveness. Therefore, he pushed in all his chips and raised his

voice. “I don’t lack this money anyway. Bring it on. I’m not afraid!”

Eugene took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke. However, the dealer stopped him. “Sir, we have a

smoking area here. Please go there if you want to smoke.”

A curse escaped from Eugene’s mouth. He then pushed his chips and revealed his cards.

Casper glanced at the cards in Eugene’s hand before looking at his cards. He wasn’t sure who had a

better set of cards. Then, the dealer glanced at Casper’s cards and said resignedly, “Sir, you have a

high card, whereas this gentleman over here has a straight. You have lost.”

The onlookers were staring at Casper as if he had gone crazy. They wondered what gave him the

courage to go all-in against a straight.

Although the person next to Casper had a good set of cards, he still lost to Eugene. Immediately, he

slumped on the table with a pale face.

Casper shrugged. “Look, you only lost this much money and can’t stand it? That’s nothing. This amount

is only the price of my car. If I were you, I would take it as I had a car accident while I got away

unscathed. How great!”

What a rich fool.

These people quickly put this label on Casper.

This time, Casper sighed. “Unfortunately, I took less money when I came out. Well, I still want to show

off my wealth. Alas, I guess I’ll have to go home.” He was about to get up and leave when a deep voice

suddenly said, “Young lad, why are you in such a hurry? Our gambling resort is not a stingy place. We

will give you some chips if you don’t have anymore.”

Casper looked up and saw that it was the gray-haired old man from the monitoring room. He was

standing by the betting table with a cane. A man in a suit next to the old man was holding a tray with

shiny chips stacked on it, each of them worth a hundred thousand. There were about a hundred chips

on the tray. It meant that the chips were worth about ten million.

The people around gasped. They couldn’t believe the gambling resort owner gave this person chips

worth ten million and wondered about his true identity.

Casper blinked, feeling indifferent about this ten million. He said, “Okay, I think I’ll play a few more

games. I wonder if I can pay by card here?”

Then, he flashed his black credit card. That made the people around even more dumbfounded. This

card wasn’t something an ordinary man could own.

The old man chuckled sheepishly. “I apologize. We don’t accept payment by card. Everyone who

comes here understands that we don’t do business with banks. We only accept cash. Young lad, we

will trust you since you took out this card. Just remember to bring the money altogether the next time

you come.
