There was no turning back at this point.Right when Harvey York signed and put his fingerprint on the paper, Jason Leo could only do the same.After the two had gotten their contracts, the notary judges in charge of the ruling also had a copy.Vince York’s eyes lit up brightly when he saw what happened before he stepped to the side without saying another word, as if he was just watching the spectacle.“Let’s begin!”Along with Harvey’s words, a round platform rose from the smooth ground.A narrow and long gambling table could be seen on the round platform.A hundred and eight surveillance cameras were placed all over the venue. Even a fly would not be able to escape their sight.Randomly selected security guards stood on both sides of the table, waiting for Harvey and Jason to enter.Jason took a step forward while coldly chuckling before he was frisked. He then walked to the center seat before he sat down.Harvey threw aside the suit he hung on his shoulders and slowly walke
A dealer who seemed to be in her twenties walked up. Her clothes seemed really plain. She was obviously a newbie.According to the information provided, she was randomly chosen from the crowd of tourists to be the dealer. She was only trained for about fifteen minutes and was only told basic information and important things to look out for.The interesting thing was that she was offered a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to be the dealer.Even if the lucky tourist was extremely terrified, she still managed to do her job properly. She pulled out ten new decks of cards for Harvey York and Jason Leo to pick one each.Both of them wasted no time and did just that.The dealer split the cards and removed the jokers inside before shuffling them together. Then, Harvey and Jason were allowed to cut the deck.Her actions were extremely rusty. She would accidentally reveal one or two cards every once in a while when she shuffled the deck. Nobody went to stop her, as her inexperience prove
The dealer gave Harvey York another card. It was another ace.He had a total of eleven points.The crowd’s eyes were wide open. Even Jason Leo’s breath froze at that moment.If Harvey’s points were still under twenty-one after getting another card, he would win by default!“Again!” Harvey said under everyone’s shocked gaze.He had twenty-one points in total. No matter what the hidden card was, Harvey busted.The crowd was utterly shocked after Harvey revealed his hidden card.Harvey had a nine, a ten, and he got an ace. Twenty points in total was a huge number, second to only Blackjack.Under such good circumstances, he still asked for another card and busted because of it!What was the meaning of this? Did Harvey have a death wish?“Hahaha! Are you that scared of me?“You’re still asking for another card after getting twenty points?! Are you really that afraid of losing?“You think you’re the God of Gambling or something?“Serves you right!”Jason was showing a calm expr
Everyone gasped after hearing Jason Leo’s words.This was no longer the King of Gambling Tournament. This match alone would decide the new king of Hong Kong and Las Vegas!If Harvey York were to win, the top four families of Hong Kong would bow down to him just for chasing Jason away!And if Jason won, he would have everything that Harvey worked so hard for.With his strength, it would be effortless for him to destroy the Yorks of Hong Kong and establish a new hidden family.Harvey calmly glanced at Jason.“You’re still making such small bets at this point, Young Master Leo? Are you still underestimating me?“If you want to play, we’ll have to raise the stakes higher.“If I lose, I’ll give you everything I have, including what I have in Mordu and Buckwood!“You should be able to build a brand new hidden family here with all this!“But if you lose, there’s only one thing I want, your life.“Are you down to play?”Harvey’s calm words were enough to shock the entire crowd.‘H
Harvey York calmly looked at his hidden card. It did not seem like he wanted to add another card.Jason Leo’s heart skipped a beat after seeing the sight. He snapped his fingers at the very next moment.Snap!Harvey’s pupils became a little sluggish.His expression returned to normal soon after.Jason burst out laughing after seeing what happened. “Harvey, if you want a chance to win, you better add more cards! If not, I’ll definitely beat you here!”Obviously, Jason truly believed that his mild hypnosis would make Harvey bust again.A hint of struggle could be seen on Harvey’s face before he quietly exclaimed, “Another!”The dealer smiled before carefully dealing another card to Harvey. It was a two.Jason froze after seeing the card. He never thought that Harvey would have such a low number.After taking a deep breath, Jason regained his composure.“You only have three points at this point, Harvey! Even if you have a ten face-down, you’ll only have thirteen points! You d
The effects were quite strong after the three snaps. Cold sweats started to trickle down Harvey York’s forehead when he seemed really anxious.After seeing what happened, Jason Leo knew that the mild hypnosis was no longer working that well on Harvey. He needed to overwhelm Harvey with something else…He had no choice but to fan the flames.“Why don’t we raise the stakes even higher?”A playful smirk was showing on Jason’s face.“If you add another card and still win against me, I’ll cancel my engagement with Queenie York! How’s that sound?!”Queenie stood up furiously.“Don’t do it, Harvey!” bellowed Queenie.Anyone could tell that Harvey had one too many cards already.“If we win this round, we’ll win everything! A wedding is nothing compared to this!” Leslie Clarke screamed.“Don’t do anything reckless, Sir York!” yelled Yoana Mendoza.“Other than that, I can even be your humble servant! I’ll bite whoever you ask me to!” said Jason calmly after hearing all the furious scr
When Vince York came out of the blue to cause trouble, Harvey York glanced at him with a cold gaze.Vince, who wanted to keep provoking Harvey, could not help but have his heart skip a beat.He instinctively looked at Jason Leo before an unbelievable thought came to mind.Jason’s face had completely lost all color. He reached out his hand while emotionlessly staring into Harvey’s eyes, then snapped his fingers once more.His mild hypnosis, which had always worked in the past, had no effect whatsoever. Nothing happened besides a bit more blood coming out of Jason’s mouth.Harvey calmly smiled.“No need to snap your fingers again. It’s useless.“Your mild hypnosis has no effect on me.”Jason’s expression frantically changed, as if he realized that Harvey had already seen through his tricks.He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Harvey.“If you’re going to accuse me of cheating, then you better show some solid proof!“I
Pure shock!The entire crowd was completely shocked!The Knights Templar that Jason Leo brought along were all frozen stiff while feeling extremely sluggish.One of them even slapped himself across the face a couple of times to make sure that he was not dreaming.Queenie York and the others stayed calm to lessen the impact of what just happened.The God of Gambling!This was the true God of Gambling!Harvey York had already planned everything since the very beginning!Jason, who had been talking big the entire time, was just a clown at this point!Even if he kept pressuring Harvey…Even if he kept forcing Harvey to add more cards so he would feel powerless…Harvey still managed to win despite all this!This was ridiculous! This was simply shocking!Jason immediately figured that Harvey might have been unaffected by the mild hypnosis since the beginning and that he was just acting the whole time…So Jason would pay a huge price.“An ace of spades?! Am I dreaming?!“We wo
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
Following the angry, booming voice, three people in uniform walked over.The one leading was an overweight man wearing a cap. His face was a little pale because he had been indulging himself for an extended time. The man behind him was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant. Both the man and woman were in uniform, and they took in the chaos with a stern expression.The one who spoke was the one in the lead.All the men and women gave each other a look and stepped forward at the same time."Director Braff! You have to do us justice!""Director Braff! The specialist from the Country A embassy will give you a call very soon! You have to do this fairly!""Director Braff! There are about 80 thousand to 10 thousand citizens of Country A in Wolsing! You can't ignore our request!""Director Braff! You're a good friend of our country! All of your children are studying in our country! You definitely know how we treat our friends, right?"When the men and women spoke, some of them
Harvey's expression changed slightly after he heard that. After he had finished questioning both Gin and Morganna, he let them go. His aim was simple—he wanted to use them as bait.While it wasn't exactly effective, it was better than nothing.He didn't expect them to die in less than a day, with all the evidence pointed at him. At that moment, Harvey was so speechless, he felt like looking up into the sky.Before the precinct looked for him, Harvey went to the police station in the Third Ring. He had just entered the door when dozens of men in suits approached him with a pretentious aura."That's him! He's the murderer!""He silenced Gin and Morgana when they're just going to the hospital for an interview!""I heard he even offered them money and killed them when the bribery didn't succeed!"The people yelled at Harvey, revealing the crimes he committed. They took out the phone from their pockets, about to take a video of him.If Harvey were a normal person, he would have al
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne enjoyed hot tea in the hospital meeting room.After finishing her cup, Yvonne sighed and said, "I underestimated Linus. While he was in prison and couldn't leave, I never expected that he could make something up like this. Claiming that I and the Islanders were colluding while the family's leader is sick so that I can take all the Xaviers' assets for myself."If the two of them really did publish an article like that with the photos they got, then I would never be able to prove my innocence. Thank you, Harvey."Yvonne sighed. Things would not have ended so smoothly if Harvey had not been around today. Since someone like Gin and Morganna were very pretentious. As long as their weaknesses were not exposed, they would never be able to get the truth out of them no matter how much they threatened the two."You focused on the wrong thing," Harvey said. "Whether Linus ordered the reporters or the reporters wanted to assassinate your character, both ha
Whoosh!A pebble shot out from the floor and immediately hit Gin on his wrist. Because of the pain, the revolver almost fell on the floor as he lost his grip.Two of the security guards saw their chance and quickly ran over. One grabbed the revolver away, and the other immediately captured the other two. Shortly, both Gin and Morganna were brought to the security room. Their IDs were also found."Oh, you two are reporters from Country A? Good, good!" Yvonne looked at the ID written in a foreign language. "I didn't expect reporters from Country A to come and spy on the health of my family members. You must have a lot of free time. Or… Did Linus send you?"Both Gin and Morganna's expressions turned into shock, but Morganna coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Linus, Linas, they have nothing to do with me. All I know is that you're going to pay a price for imprisoning us here, and I know you're not brave enough to kill us!""That's right!" Gin commented with a cold e
