Victory in Life
Chapter 359
Sebastian's eyes sparkled after hearing Hector's comment.
He didn't gamble all because of the conference and the problems against Dawson. He was already itching to bet until he could barely hold it anymore.
Even though he had a serious gambling addiction, he was still considered quite rational.
"That doesn't sound like a good idea with everyone there being a stranger."
Sebastian's tone was a little hesitant. He was not a fool who had just entered society. He was aware that even family members would also end up fighting when it came to gambling. Therefore, he thought he should be more careful when gambling with strangers.
Hector said with a smile, "Uncle, we all know each other very well. We'll play in vayak on the outskirts. It's very safe. We just lack players. That's why I wanted to know if you were interested. If not, it's okay."
Hearing him made the doubt in Sebastian's heart disappear. He quickly replied, "I'm interested!"
At seven p.m. that day, Sebastian arrives at the villa in a car that Hector sends with a million in cash.
"Uncle, just a million? Aren't you going to embarrass yourself here?"
Hector greets Sebastian at the villa entrance. He looked at the box in his hand and said with disdain.
Sebastian laughed out loud and said, "It's just for fun. I don't plan to gamble with such a large amount. I'll go home if I lose everything."
Hector chuckled and said, "Alright then. My brother is inside too. Come on in, everyone has arrived."
Hector smiled coldly as he looked at the back figure of Sebastian entering through the door excitedly.
Sebastian is still being careful with Hector, and Hector is aware of it. However, Hector knew best what kind of attitude Hector would have at the gambling table.
This time, he got the top 'actor' in the industry to help him with this arrangement and he was very confident of it.
Sebastian enters the villa. The gambling table was set up, and three men were sitting on the sofa chatting.
There were also some beautiful women in charge of serving drinks.
"Allow me to introduce you. This is my uncle, Kaymaroon's boss."
Jacob immediately got up and said with a smile as he watched Sebastian enter.
"Uncle, this is the boss of Hayes Mining Company of Southwest Province, Hayes Lawson. There are dozens of coal mines underneath. He's really a big boss."
"This is the boss of the investment firm, Jordan Zinn. There are two companies listed under his name."
Hearing the introduction made Sebastian's heart pound.
"These two people have a net worth comparable to mine."
He then looked at the pieces they were carrying. Each of them starts with five million as the minimum bet.
At that moment, Sebastian regretted carrying so little cash and felt as if he had lost his dignity.
Hayes urged with his southwestern slang. Let's start because everyone has arrived."
Hector also came and the four of them sat in their respective seats.
Each of them took their box, opened it, and placed it on the side of their feet. With a combined four boxes, there is a total of 150 million betting funds. When stacked, the money is stacked into several stacks and attracts attention.
Hector waved his hand, and a middle-aged man who looked like a city walked out. He was in charge of distributing the cards.
Hector leaned back in the chair and giggled as he said, "Old rule. We'll start with 100,000. There is no limit to winning, and those who lose everything will retreat. Who wants to check the card with the bookie?"
Jordan immediately raised his hand and said, "Young Master Combe, you're the one who organized this gambling session, so of course, there will be no problem with that. No need to check."
Hector notices that Hayes and Sebastian are not saying anything. He then said with a smile, "Old rules, we will change cards after every ten rounds. Although everyone is friends here and no one will cheat each other, but still, we have to follow the rules."
After speaking, Hector signals the bookie to hand out the cards.
Jacob sat down on the sofa and took the time to make a cup of tea for himself. He narrowed his eyes and watched the gambling session unfold with a calm expression.
However, the four men were still very energetic.
Hayes was exasperated and pushed the cards in his hand. He said unsatisfactoryly, "What the hell, I'm so unlucky today! Three players lose to one player?!"
Hector and Jordan's expressions looked terrible.
Only Sebastian laughed.
At that moment, the boxes next to the feet of the three men were empty except for Sebastian's. The bundle of cash could not fit into his box and scattered the entire floor beside his feet.
He has won 16 million in cash.
Sebastian didn't expect himself to be so lucky. That night, he got whatever card he wanted. Even if he sometimes got fewer points, it could be that his opponent had fewer points than him, or they wouldn't bet with him and immediately lost that round.
"Geez, I got lucky today. It's been a long time since I've had such a fun time gambling." Sebastian had a pleasant expression and looked fresh.
"Well, we lost everything. How about we end this day?" Hector said calmly.
Jordan got up and said in an ominous tone, "End, end. I have been feeling sleepy for a long time. Next time, I will definitely win against you!"
Sebastian also got up and smiled. He said, "You're always welcome."
As they spoke, the gambling session ended.
At the entrance, Hayes and Jordan's car was gone. Hector is a little envious when he sees Sebastian ordering his driver to move the money. He said, "Uncle, you're really lucky."
Sebastian smiled proudly and said, "The two fools don't even know how to play. Even though I only have a few points, they still do not dare to bet with me. I was lucky a few times."
"That's all because you're good at it, Uncle," Hector said with a smile.
At that time, all the cash was transferred to the car. Sebastian walked in and stuck his head out, saying to Hector, "Other times, remember to invite me."
"Sure, it will be done."
Hector narrowed his eyes with a smile as he watched Sebastian's car leave.
He turned around to enter the house. Jacob was up and had breakfast. He sat cross-legged.
"Has he gone?" ask Jacob.
"Yes." Yeah."
Hector nodded and said with a cold smile, " Right now, he is definitely looking forward to the next gambling session.
"Although Mr. Laine is not here, it seems he has predicted that Sebastian will undergo a change of mindset. His belief in human psychology is too sinister."
Jacob shook his head and said, "Hurry up and call Mr. Laine. Report the current situation to him. We need to take the next step immediately."
In Easy Media's office, Jasper was playing his phone while throwing an arrow at the target. He said calmly, "If you want to fish, obviously you have to give the fish bait. In the afternoon, I'll ask someone to send me another 300 million."
"the 300 million"
Jasper pulled out an arrow in the red bullseye and continued calmly, "is the hook to kill Sebastian."
After hanging up the phone, Jasper turned around. Someone was standing behind him politely.
"Mr Laine, you ordered me to contact the private loan company that lent the money to Kaymaroon. They've given us a reply."
"As long as we can pay one million to each company, they will immediately ask Kaymaroon to pay their debts."
"That's theirs from the beginning. We spend money to get them to collect their debts up front. In this world, no one would turn down such a big offer, let alone the vampires giving out high-interest loans."
Jasper sat down in the boss chair and said calmly, "Give them money. Once they received the money, they had to remember what they were supposed to do!"
