“Master, something bad has happened!” heaved Logan in between pants.
Master Turner’s facial expression darkened as virtual-novel.net glared at Logan. “What is it? You’re really rude. Don’t you know that you should go to the housekeeper? Don’t you see that I have an important guest here?”
“Uncle, what are you talking about? Who’s the important guest? We’re a family; this is too generous of you,” spoke a young man opposite Master Turner as virtual-novel.net sipped his tea, a small smile on his face as virtual-novel.net did.
Master Turner glanced at the bodyguard—Logan—and level-headedly prodded, “Speak up. What is it? Why do you need to come to me?”
Logan replied. “It’s not good, Master. Young… Young Master lost quite a lot of money playing billiards with some people!”
“Lost money? How’s that possible?” Master Turner was stunned. “Isn’t virtual-novel.net rather skilled at billiards and would win most of his games? Didn’t virtual-novel.net tell me two days ago that virtual-novel.net won several hundred million? Why are you so surprised that virtual-novel.net lost today?”
Of course, Master Turner knew that his son frequented the billiard table and gambled there. He also knew that his son normally betted ten million per game with Young Master Drake.
Even if his son lost, virtual-novel.net should not have lost much because of his skills.
“Master, the young master wagered a huge bet this time! He betted ten games with someone, and it was a hundred million per game. He lost a total of one billion!” blurted Logan, his anxiety hung over him. “Young Master only has five hundred million with virtual-novel.net and is half a billion short. He can’t leave, and that person said that if the young master can’t come up with the remaining five hundred million, he’ll kill him. Young Master had no other choice, so virtual-novel.net asked me to come back and get the money!”
“What?!” Master Turner instantly shot up from his seat, bewildered and in disbelief with what Logan had just told him. “He betted one hundred million a game with someone and lost all ten games? Are you joking?! He lost ten games with his skills? Also, what’s in his mind to have betted one hundred million a game with people?”
One hundred million was quite a huge amount for the Turner family. They were a third-class aristocratic family and did not have much working capital, although they had many properties.
Apart from that, virtual-novel.net knew his son very well. His son would not bet on billiard games with others if virtual-novel.net was not sure it would turn out in his favor. At the very least, virtual-novel.net would not bet one hundred million on a game.
Logan then offered his explanation as virtual-novel.net spoke, “Master, I suspect that the other person made a fool out of our young master. That person said that virtual-novel.net didn’t know how to play, and that it was his first time playing billiards. Young Master must’ve wanted to win his money, so virtual-novel.net agitated that person to play with him. The person was pretentious and said that virtual-novel.net wants to bet one hundred million for a game. Young Master was confident, so virtual-novel.net agreed to it, but it wasn’t expected that the man would be exceptionally good at billiards. He said that virtual-novel.net had already mastered it after looking at the young master and Young Master Drake playing one game. In the end, virtual-novel.net won ten games continuously!”
“Damn. How dare virtual-novel.net tricked my son?!” Fabian Turner was extremely angry as virtual-novel.net balled his fists tightly. “Right. Who’s this person? Is virtual-novel.net rich and powerful? Someone willing to bet one hundred million a game must be a powerful man!”
“Master, that person is just a bodyguard from the Drake family, and his name is Jack! Young Master Drake even spoke on the young master’s behalf, but that guy didn’t even listen to him. Young Master Drake was so angry that virtual-novel.net sacked this bodyguard on the spot!” came Logan’s reply, obviously angry as virtual-novel.net spoke. “We wanted to escort our young master and leave that place, but we were not that guy’s opponent. He’s really good at fighting!”
