Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 342 Cheater

“Big, big, big…” Chad leaned on the long table, staring at the casino banker’s hand.

The banker placed his hand on the dice box and raised his voice to provoke the gamblers around.

“Anyone else wants to put more bets? Now the odds are 30 to 1.”

As he finished speaking, a strong man with a messy beard pushed forward more than half of the

casino chips in front of him. “Damn, I’ll risk it all. If lose, I’ll just cheat my mom of her savings

again.”

The others followed him excitedly.

Chad gritted his yellow teeth hard. He also wanted to stake all of his chips in one go.

Chad turned to look at Manuel, who had always been calm. Chad rubbed his hands and smiled

fawningly. “Manuel, look, shall we put a lot more too?”

“What’s the hurry?” Manuel glanced at Chad.

Chad could only suppress his ambition.

“Let’s see!” the banker shouted as he lifted the dice box. The gamblers immediately wailed.

“I, I won?” Chad rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He grinned.

Chad excitedly leaned down to embrace the chips that belonged to him. He chuckled like a ******.

“I should have placed more bets,” Chad muttered.

Chad’s greed could never be satisfied.

There was a flash of mockery in Manuel’s eyes. He had resisted hard the thought of beating Chad.

This afternoon, Chad came and followed Manuel and said that the thing yesterday was all plotted

by Ainsley.

Chad was excited. Then he became more attentive to Manuel. “Manuel, you are just amazing. Shall

we continue?”

“Yes.” Manuel raised his chin, signaling Chad to place chips.

This time, Chad took action before he could think. He pushed all his chips out and said wildly, “All

in.”

Manuel did not let Chad down. They won again and again, never losing.

The casino banker soon lost his cool because the others began to bet following Manuel.

They also attracted the attention of the person in charge of the casino.

Looking at the familiar face on the monitor, the person in charge played with a dagger and spat on

the ground. “***, this man is here to ruin my place?”

“Shall we get rid of him?” A yellow-haired man beside him showed a fierce expression.

The person in charge narrowed his eyes. “Think of a way to drive them away first. Then find an

opportunity to teach this guy a lesson.” He pointed at Manuel on the black-and-**screen, who

looked incompatible with the surroundings, and gnashed his teeth.

Chad, who had won a lot of money, was walking on a small road in the countryside. His dark and

thin face was full of wrinkles. “Manuel, you are fantastic. The money I won in gambling today was

more than that in the past many years.”

Chad was holding a black bag in his hand. The bag was filled with money exchanged from the

casino chips.

Manuel walked slowly by Chad’s side. Manuel was expressionless, and he did not respond to

Chad’s flattery.

Chad rolled his eyes, licked his dry lips, and whispered, “Manuel, you see, I did not do much today,

and the credit was not mine, but I did physical work. Don’t you think so?”

Thinking Chad was noisy, Manuel replied impatiently, “Just say your mind.”

“OK.” Chad hurried to take two steps forward. He stood in front of Manuel and forced him to stop.

Chad tried to act sincere. “Since you are straightforward, then I will be frank. How do you want to

divide this money?”

Manuel frowned. His face suddenly darkened, and he was surrounded by a murderous aura.

Chad was startled. He did not want to lose Manuel, his “money-spinner”. Chad thought that Manuel

had misunderstood, so Chad racked his brains to make up for it. “Manuel, relax. I’m not a person.

who doesn’t know what’s good for me. How about…”

His voice stopped abruptly.

Chad widened his eyes in horror as he looked behind Manuel. Chad began to tremble, but he failed to

utter any word with an open mouth.

Men had been arranged by the person in charge of the casino to block this road. After receiving the

information, he rushed over with the rest of the group to attack from both sides.

“Chad, you are quite capable. You colluded with an outsider to cheat my money?” The person in charge

shook the iron rod in his hand, and his eyes were vicious.

Chad went weak at the knees and directly knelt on the ground. He stammered, “What, what are you

talking about? How could I dare to cheat your money? I don’t have the nerve.”

“You lied to me,” the person in charge roared, pointing the iron rod straight at Manuel, who showed

a faint expression. “You cooperated with this guy and cheated at my casino. Do you want to **?”

“No, no, I’m innocent. We gambled rightfully. We didn’t cheat at all.” Chad was very scared in this

situation, afraid that he would be beaten almost to death later.

The person in charge sneered, “Did you mean I’m blind?”

Chad broke out in cold sweat. He had no way. Then he thought of Manuel.

Seeing Manuel’s indifferent look, Chad thought that Manuel was scared ***.

Chad quickly reached out his hand to tug at Manuel’s trousers and said shakily, “Explain right now.

We didn’t cheat.”

Seeing Chad’s **hand approach, Manuel took a step to the side in disgust. Manuel didn’t even

look at the person in charge. “Explain what? He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his

stick. Do you understand?”

Chad was stunned and became more anxious. Is this man really scared ***? He still said literary

words at this critical moment.

Ignoring Chad, Manuel stretched his muscles, rotated his wrists, stared at the person in charge,

and said coldly, “Cut the ***.”

What?

Chad felt as if he was dreaming.

“You have guts.” A smile flashed on the face of the person in charge. “Since you are like a man, I will

let them just cripple one of your hands, and then this matter is over.”

One of the lackeys behind Manuel seemed to receive an order and rushed forward.

After a bang, the surroundings suddenly became silent. Only the lackey who wanted to sneakily attack Manuel fell to the ground, curled up and groaning.

No one saw how Manuel took action before the lackey was knocked down.

The person in charge looked at Manuel with a tense expression. His many years of experience told

him that Manuel was not as weak as he appeared.

Manuel picked up the iron rod from the ground and looked at the person in charge with cold eyes, showing a mocking smile. “You have so many men here, and you still want to play ***. You are not

like a man.”

Manuel turned to Chad, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, “If you can’t help, get lost.

Don’t get in the way.”

Chad came to himself and crawled behind the haystack.

A fight began silently.

The person in charge could dominate the village because of his ruthlessness and brute force, as

well as the great number of followers.

However, in Manuel’s eyes, these things were no big deal.

Manuel did not even need to look. He overturned the person in front of him with a stick, and his

right leg gracefully flipped over. He kicked the person who tried to sneakily attack him to the

ground.
