However, Chuck's main concern was to settle Yvette's current dilemma. After all, the United States was home base to most of the infamous killer organizations, and it would be easier to appoint a killer to get rid of Yvette here.
He would get rid of Black Rose and Frieda after all of this was settled.
He knew his priorities.
"Young Master, let's grab some food. The car is ready." Betty had been staying with Karen in the United States.
She knew almost everything about the place. It was not only the home base to most killer organizations, it was in fact Karen's territory as well.
"Alright."
Chuck was starving. He took Yvette's hand and got into the car behind Betty.
They soon arrived at a luxurious restaurant. Chuck did not understand what the waiter was saying and could only seek guidance from Yvette. She was a top student during her school days, and her American accent was very convincing.
"The food on the menu is rather costly," Yvette commented. She looked at Betty agape.
"Young Master, this is yours," Betty said.
Karen had been working in the United States for a long time. She had a lot of business around the place, and this restaurant was likely to be a drop in the ocean. There were around hundreds of restaurants similar to this here.
Chuck pondered for a moment. He smiled and then the three of them went in.
After the meal, Betty received a phone call from Karen. She handed over the phone to Chuck once she had finished speaking.
"Mother." Chuck was overwhelmed with joy. He hadn't seen his mother for a very long time and was unaware of her dealings.
"Well, Chuck, I have something to deal with. Stay there for a few days first, I will come and find you," Karen was occupied with several matters that had suddenly popped up.
Fortunately, the United States was within her territory, so Chuck would not be in any danger.
"Okay mother. About Yvette..." Chuck was most concerned about this.
If Yvette was constantly hunted by killers, she could be in danger no matter how skillful she was.
"Well... I have no problem in keeping her alive. The boss of the killer organization won't be able to do anything to her in the United States, but will she stay here for the rest of her life?"
"No, she is not a citizen here. How could she be willing to stay in the United States all the time?" Chuck was not willing to do so either. He had to go back to his own country regardless of how good it was here.
"Well, I get it. The boss of the killer organization... We have some unpleasant history together. She's well... I don't want you to see her either. To put it this way, she's someone without integrity." This was enough to give Karen a headache.
Karen had a hard time thinking of a solution. They had known each other previously, yet there were some disputes between them as well. That woman had no virtue at all and Karen would not want to have anything to do with her.
This boss was a vicious individual in the public eye, but she clearly knew this woman's character.
"Someone without integrity? Mother, what are you trying to say?" Chuck was startled at her words.
"Nothing. I think we can do this. Ask Betty to take you and Yvette to a casino. It's owned by that same boss. You can go in and have fun, I'll be there later." After contemplating for a while, Karen felt that this plan would work.
Chuck had never gambled before. It would be a gesture of goodwill if he lost a bit of money in the casino, and might make it easier for them to negotiate later.
"I don't know how to gamble. Mother, I'm afraid that I might lose money." Chuck didn't want to get addicted to gambling. After all, it was usually do or die in gambling, and one could lose thousands in a blink of an eye.
Besides, he had never gambled before. When he was young, the most he played with was dice together with Yvette. However, Chuck had a pair of good ears and would often beat Yvette, entertaining her through the game. When he was 10 years old, they would have a wonderful time playing with dice under their blankets.
He recalled his past and regretted not playing other games at that time. Even so, he was too young to know about gambling.
"Silly child, go ahead and play. How much can you lose?" Karen chuckled.
"Mom, I'm serious. I will really lose a lot."
"It's okay. Just enjoy yourself. Even if you lose, it's not like you will lose all my money, okay?" Karen remarked.
Yes, Karen had already dominated one-third of the properties here, and this was solely the United States.
In other countries, she owned half of all the hotels, restaurants, and even most of the shops in the consumer and service sectors. Not only that, she had acquired all the properties in several small countries. She was filthy rich and extremely influential.
Her daily earnings were more than one could have ever imagined. How much could Chuck possibly lose in the casino?
The money that he lost would easily be compensated by her massive daily income. In addition, Karen was still expanding her
business and was extremely ambitious.
