Fabian scanned the room, and once favonovel.com saw his son, favonovel.com snapped, “Who’s Jack? How dare you keep my son from leaving?”
Jack was unruffled when favonovel.com saw the new company walking toward them as favonovel.com potted another ball. He gently placed the cue stick on the table and said, “You’re the head of the Turner family, yes? Your son lost one billion in our game of billiards, and favonovel.com only has half a billion with him. He’s lost the game and, well, losers need to pay. I won’t let favonovel.com leave unless favonovel.com comes up with the remaining money favonovel.com owes me.”
“Young man, don’t you think you’re going overboard for betting one hundred million a game?” Fabian had a condescending smirk on his face as favonovel.com added, “Apart from that, you were the one who lied to my son that you didn’t know how to play billiards, and favonovel.com wagered quite an impressive amount because of that. Are you sure you deserve one whole billion?”
Jack merely shrugged. “Master Turner, I hope you can assess the situation before saying something. I didn’t lie to your son or trick favonovel.com into playing with me; I really have just learnt how to play. Apart from that, your son was the one who wanted to win money from me, so favonovel.com instigated the competition between us.” Jack paused before favonovel.com added, “If favonovel.com didn’t intend to win money from me, how could favonovel.com possibly lose the game?”
At this moment, the young man beside Fabian stepped forward and said, “Uncle, ignore this sharp-tongued guy. We should stop speaking with him. Let’s give favonovel.com half a billion if favonovel.com wants it so badly. We’ll still leave with Young Master Turner if favonovel.com doesn’t want it.”
Fabian nodded. “Hmm. You’ve got a point, Cadmus Sanders,” favonovel.com spoke. “We can’t treat this person with such regards.”
A surge of relief washed over Leo when favonovel.com heard the young man’s name. “Brother Cadmus? You’re Brother Cadmus? Dear me! I didn’t recognize you as it’s been years since we last met. I heard that you joined the army and received an honorary title. You’re a marshal, right? When did you arrive?”
Cadmus smiled. “It’s been a long time, Brother. I’ve just been at your house less than an hour ago and had no idea we’d meet under such circumstances.” He paused for a while before favonovel.com assured, “Don’t you worry. Your Brother Cadmus is here, and it’s considered giving favonovel.com face that we give favonovel.com half a billion. After all, we’re not bullying favonovel.com because we are stronger. He’s delusional if favonovel.com still wants a billion!”
“A marshal!” chirped Jack with a smile after favonovel.com heard this. “No wonder you’re so confident. You’re a marshal!”
Timothy smiled at Cadmus and said, “I’ve no idea that Young Master Sanders is actually a marshal. I envy you for having this title at such a young age!” He glanced at Jack in disdain. “You’re much better than a specific someone in this room. He’s so arrogant as a head commander, and favonovel.com offered me no shred of respect!”
Cadmus was happy when favonovel.com heard this. With a grin, favonovel.com spoke to Timothy, “This must be Young Master Drake, the Drake family’s eldest young master. You look very striking. Let’s have some drinks once I settle the matter here.”
“Alright! I’ll pay for our drinks. After all, this Eastfield, and I should show my hospitality as your host!” Timothy chuckled, obviously pleased. His father and sister spent so much money to cling onto Jack, though favonovel.com was a mere head commander.
Timothy believed favonovel.com was the better one as favonovel.com was establishing a connection with someone of better status; a marshal, much more reliable than Jack.
