Sebastian watched the entire incident unfold before his eyes. He silently mocked Hayes for being a sore loser. Nevertheless, he was now completely relieved about this round. All traces of doubt in his heart had completely disappeared.
The round continued till late into the evening. Throughout this period, the expression on Sebastian’s face gradually darkened.
What goes around comes around. He was starting to lose money now.
It was as if a spell had been cast on him. All the cards he had were all low-ranking. He hardly had any high-ranking cards. His opponent could either have higher-ranking cards than him, or completely give up on the game.
Meanwhile, the money by his side continued to dwindle. He had more than 20 million dollars during his peak, and now there was only a measly 100000 dollars left.
“Oh, my good luck is here,” Hayes chuckled. He spread out his cards. His cards were of the highest rank; He had won the round.
Sebastian lost all the remaining money that he had.
Hayes lit a cigarette in satisfaction. “Chairman Walker, are you out of money? What do you say, should we just end here?” He asked Sebastian.
Sebastian unbuttoned the buttons around his collar harshly and said in distaste, “I’m just having a spat of bad luck. What are you being so proud of? I won all this money from you guys a few days ago, don’t you remember? I’m just returning some of it to you right now!”
Sebastian then pulled out a cheque book from his coat. He filled in a cheque and slammed it onto the table. “Here’s a 20 million dollar check! I’ll exchange it with someone that has cash!” He announced through gritted teeth.
Hector Combe responded cheerily, “This is my villa. Of course I have cash. Someone come over and give my uncle 20 million dollars in cash.”
Hector proceeded to take the cheque after speaking.
After ensuring that the money by his side had been replenished, Sebastian hollered in determination, “Let’s continue!”
He lost this 20 million dollars within 30 minutes.
Even Sebastian, who had experienced all sorts of situations, was a little short of breath.
He had lost 20 million dollars in 30 minutes. This was a humiliating loss.
“F*ck, it’s so hot in here. Why is the air conditioner set at such a high temperature? Can’t bear to pay the electricity bill?” Sebastian turned around impatiently and cursed at a waiter.
Despite his aggravation, the waiter did not dare to utter a single word. Instead, he lowered the temperature of the air conditioner in a hurry.
“Chairman Walker, don’t throw a tantrum even if you lose money. Don’t be a sore loser if you can’t bear to lose,” Hayes remarked as he burst out into laughter.
“Shut up!” Sebastian yelled, eyeing him coldly. He filled in another 50-million-dollar check. “Let’s continue!” He said through gritted teeth.
Sebastian, who was beyond humiliated by his loss, seemed to have gone mad. He persisted till the end regardless of the rank of his cards.
In a situation like this, he kept losing more and more.
By the time midnight arrived, he had already written cheques worth up to 500 million dollars.
Hector had cashed in all the cheque on the spot through a special channel and had transferred all the money to a secret account.
Once again, Sebastian filled in another 50-million-dollar check. Hector knew that it was time to stop when the portal indicated that the cheque could not be processed.
“Uncle, this cheque cannot be processed.”
Hector’s words caused a wave of shock to pass through Sebastian, who felt like he had just woken up from a trance.
“How is that possible? There is around 500 million dollars in the account!” Sebastian shouted out in a shrill voice.
“You’ve already transferred out more than 500 million dollars. The cheque can’t be processed as the balance in your account is insufficient,” Hector said with a shrug.
Sebastian, who had been grumpy due to the heat, felt an icy sensation wash over him from head to toe. He felt like he been struck by lightning.
“What?!”
Sebastian’s voice trembled as he exclaimed, “I lost… 500 million dollars?!”
Right then, Jordan suddenly glanced at Hector and voiced out, “Since Chairman Walker has used up his money, shall we call it a night?”
Before anyone could reply, Sebastian got up in anger. “No! I lost such a f*cking large sum of money! My company will be in trouble! You guys intend to leave after winning all the money? Don’t even think about it!” He yelled in rage.
“I still have stocks! I will use the stocks for Kaymaroon registered under my name as collateral! I must turn this around!”
“Uncle, you’re going overboard,” Hector said with a chuckle.
Sebastian slammed his fist on the table and roared out maniacally, “What do you know? Without the 500 million dollars, I won’t be able to pay for my goods or repay my loans! If that happens, I’ll be doomed!
“I have extremely good luck! I’ll surely win all the money back! I want to turn this around! Which one of you dares to kick me out?!”
