The onlookers in the casino laughed out loud as they listened in on the conversation. Natasha was the Goddess of Gamblers after all, so she had the right to challenge him like this.
"Will the foreigner take her up on this?" Someone whispered.
"Definitely not. Luck is one thing, but when you encounter skilled people like her, it's useless!"
"I think so too. If it were me, I wouldn't play either..." A man muttered.
"Oh, so you admit to being a coward then?" Someone sneered at him.
"It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, to be honest. It's billions of dollars on the line here! Who would agree to willingly lose so much money to her? I'd take the money over my dignity any day, thank you very much!"
Everyone had their own take on the situation. They were waiting for the final showdown.
"Sir, so what do you say?" Natasha taunted Chuck.
She loved to mock people like him.
Especially those who wanted to leave right after winning some money.
"Why don't we take this to your office?" Chuck said.
"You hooligan..." Yvette muttered. She didn't feel good about Chuck speaking like that to other women.
Natasha's eyes narrowed at that, her gaze ran cold. Had he actually flirted with her?
"Man, this guy really has guts! How dare he flirt with her! Doesn't he know who her partner is?" Someone in the crowd whispered.
"Shut up, are you trying to catch your death?" Another hissed.
The onlookers thought this young man was pretty foolish. Didn't he know who this woman was?
How could he flirt with her in public like that?
"You don't want to bet with me, do you?" Natasha glared at Chuck.
This man's teasing was causing everyone to make fun of her.
She was very annoyed. She would have asked her subordinates to barge in already if it weren't for the presence of so many guests here.
"Why should I bet with you?" Chuck retorted.
"If you don't, that means you're a coward! That would mean everyone from your country is the same as well," Natasha said coldly.
How could this man still be so calm? He didn't even seem affected by her provocations at all!
"Oh, that's weird. Just because I won't gamble with you, that makes me a coward? How about this, I want you to jump off a building. By your rationality, if you don't jump, you'd be a coward too," he scoffed.
She was a pro-gambler. In no way was Chuck going to lose all his money to her!
He knew that his gambling abilities could not compare to hers.
"You better watch your mouth," Natasha growled lowly. She had not expected such a reply from him.
"I don't care. I'm not betting with you either way," Chuck said. He didn't want to lose his lucky streak just like that.
He had won more than eight billion dollars just now. It was the most money he himself had ever seen!
He still wanted to continue winning. It would be great if he could win tens of billions of dollars. He could use the money to make a couple of investments when he returned home.
Natasha's eyes glared fiercely at him. The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees as gradual silence filled it.
"Hubby, whatever you do, you can't bet with her!" Yvette warned once more.
"I know, I'm not stupid," Chuck replied.
"I know that..." Yvette said in a low voice.
Chuck smiled smugly as he looked at the flustered supervisor. He'd like to see her try to force him into betting with all these people around them.
He'd make sure to close down the casino's business if she did.
The tension in the room was high.
Meanwhile, Betty walked aside to make a call to Karen. "Hey, I'm almost there," Karen said once she picked up.
She was already on her way over.
"President Lee, Young Master..." Betty trailed off, still a bit taken by surprise.
"What's wrong? Did he lose a lot of money? It's okay, let him be. As long as he's fine, let him have as many chips as he likes," Karen said. She knew that her son knew his own limits. He would not lose too much.
As her only son, his happiness came first before anything else.
"Actually... Young Master just won," Betty said. She still could not believe that Chuck had won so much money in just two rounds.
