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
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
