One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 4502
4502 The Other Side 471
“Is a million a lot?” Alice wrapped her arms around the card reader and seemed a little confused. “While I was in Las Vegas, I saw many transactions made by wealthy people. The winnings and losses were in the millions or tens of millions, even hundreds of millions at times!”
The actor resisted the urge to blast at her. For heaven’s sake, she had already said it herself. These were wealthy people. wealthy people! He was not a tycoon. He was a semi-retiree from the entertainment industry.
The actor managed to take the boy’s hand. Alice stood behind Natalia and showed her how to play.
“Rascals!” Hua Jin said indignantly, “Clearly this game requires two to play against two, but now it seems like there are two playing against three.”
!!
“Natalia is not familiar with the game.”
“Even so.”
Alice muttered something.
Gong Jie then spoke up. “It’s alright. I win.” The man had managed to get rid of all the cards in his hand. “We won.”
With a straight, the man came in top.
The actor’s eyes lit up slightly, as though now his millions were safely back in his pocket.
Noticing Hua Jin’s relieved expression, Gong Jie was greatly amused.
Youyou had no choice but to hand the card to Alice. She swiped with a beep. Millions were transferred from the account.
Was this really Hurricane Island… This was simply an upgraded version of Las Vegas.
The actor did not like to gamble because he knew very well that one could only lose and not win. No matter how good one’s luck was, it would be impossible to keep winning right to the end.
However, as he gradually adapted to the rules of the game, his teamwork with Gong Jie improved.
Unexpectedly, Youyou’s luck with cards improved too, and he slowly caught up. Most importantly… The boy was not under as much pressure as Hua Jin! Moreover, not only had he good luck, he was amazingly logical.
Oftentimes, when it was clearly a disadvantageous hand, the boy would be able to play it to turn things around. He was only a young child, but his card playing skills were exceptional. One could only imagine how much better it could get by the time he was grown up.
Soon, Youyou overtook Hua Jin. For the rest of the afternoon, the latter was in a state of great trepidation. He had tried his best to perform, but he had lost millions. Hence, when the card game ended, the actor sat dejectedly in his chair, as if his soul had been sucked out.
Natalia and Youyou looked at him with pity.
The man could not help laughing as well. “Is that so? I feel like you’re falling into depression.”
“Try losing a few million!”
“I lost more than a few million today.”
“That’s different!”
“Different how?”
The actor was on the verge of tears. “I… I’m not as rich as you! A few million is all I have!” He had been dragged onto a pirate ship by the boy, and all his assets had been lost in an instant. He even had the urge to jump into the sea.
After winning the money, Youyou felt refreshed. He said that he wanted to treat Alice to a drink and left with Natalia.
Gong Jie stood up, walked over to the actor, and gave him a push. The next second, the man collapsed weakly on the table, unable to recover.
“This was a disguised assassination attempt…” He let out a bitter sigh.
Gong Jie replied nonchalantly, “It’s just a few million. I’ll fund your losses.”
The actor immediately looked up and pretended to be calm. “How can this be on you? I have to accept my losses. There’s no reason for you to foot the bill.”
