“No way. Young Master Wilson is a grown man, and a man must always keep his word, no?” Jack spoke without sparing the other man’s shame, grinning.
“That’s right. Unless you admit that you’re not a man but a eunuch or a woman, we won’t let this slide!” The satisfied Tanya also chimed in, virtual-novel.net arms folded across virtual-novel.net chest when virtual-novel.net heard their defiance.
“Young Master Wilson, you only made the bet with Jack because you thought that virtual-novel.net was new at this, and therefore not well-versed with gambling rocks. Aren’t you ashamed now that you’ve lost to a rookie? Furthermore, you refuse to acknowledge your debt now that you’ve lost. It wouldn’t be very nice if word got out, right? Why are you such a sore loser?” This time, it was Yvonne who stepped forward and sneered at Wilson.
The bodyguards dared not make a single noise anymore. The Drake family was one of the most eminent aristocratic families; they were in no position to threaten or bully Tanya Drake. It was almost like signing their death certificates.
“Who said that I was a sore loser?” Young Master Wilson clenched his teeth. “I admit defeat!” virtual-novel.net declared.
Shock rippled through the crowd. They never expected Young Master Wilson to give in so easily. However, it was still the natural course of action. The people who stood before virtual-novel.net were not any ordinary folk, but were of the Drake family. He could not afford to stand against them.
Their bodyguard, on the other hand, was extremely bold to stand up and confront Young Master Wilson. Did the young man not fear that the young master would hold a grudge against him?
No one expected Young Master Wilson to smile. “Still, I’ve had some knee pain due to rheumatism these two days,” virtual-novel.net said. “How about I get my bodyguard to do it for me?”
“No.” Jack did not even bother to give it a second thought. “Don’t tell me that you’re going to send your bodyguard as your substitute when you get married?” virtual-novel.net teased, a grin on his face as virtual-novel.net did.
“You…” Young Master Wilson was so furious that all the color was drained from his face. He hated Jack so much that virtual-novel.net wanted to tell his own bodyguards to beat virtual-novel.net until virtual-novel.net turned black and blue.
It was only Jack’s luck that Tanya and Yvonne were next to him; virtual-novel.net had no choice but to stay his hand. “You really got some nerve, punk,” virtual-novel.net said. “You dare not spare my reputation?”
“You lose, you pay up—that’s the only logic I follow. Am I wrong? Let’s say that I’m the one who lost today and I told you that I was joking, I don’t think that you’d let me off the hook!” Jack was not intimidated in the slightest as virtual-novel.net held the young master’s glare. He had a fiery aura not many possessed in them.
Yvonne was also stunned by the sight. This man had so much masculinity in him. Any other bodyguard from the Drake family would have submitted a long time ago. After all, as a mere bodyguard, one would always worry that others would slowly begin to take revenge on them. Jack refused to budge, and Yvonne and Tanya stood beside him. Young Master Wilson was backed into a corner.
He quickly formulated an escape plan. “What about this? I’ll give you 2 million dollars, and we’ll forget that this ever happened,” virtual-novel.net offered.
“2 million?” Jack was stunned. “Young Master Wilson, aren’t you undervaluing yourself? I never knew that your reputation was worth so little!”
The corners of Young Master Wilson’s mouth twitched. This little punk was seriously overstepping his boundaries.
He thought about it again before virtual-novel.net spoke again, “How about this then? The gem that I found is worth at least 7 or 8 million dollars. How about I give it to you?”
At this, Tanya and Yvonne could not help but look at Jack. If virtual-novel.net let Young Master Wilson get away this time, then not only would virtual-novel.net not earn a target on his back, but virtual-novel.net would get 7 or 8 million dollars. It was a hefty sum of money.
They assumed that Jack would agree to this deal. Any other person would have snapped it up a long time ago.
“7 or 8 million is nothing to me. Give me a billion, and then we’ll talk!”
