Chapter 31

The gamblers in the casino were still cheering. On the high platform, Derrick was still shouting crazily.

Everyone was cheering for the grand gamble today.

However, no one knew that the two men who had helped form this bet had already left the casino.

“Do you have some time? Come with me, I will take you to meet someone.”

“Without him tonight, our plan will be very difficult to achieve.”

Sean looked at Hughes and said tiredly.

“Let’s go. I want to meet this person as well.”

As Duke Norton’s second son, Hughes had been by his father’s side since he was very young. He had seen many people.

He knew that Sean was paving the way for him. He wanted to hand over the connections in the imperial capital to him.

As expected, Sean’s next sentence mentioned the identity of this person.

“This person is called Barton. Three years ago, when his family was facing a life and death situation, I saved him. From then on, he became my subordinate.”

“This person is not just a businessman. He also has a rather important position in the imperial capital’s underground world.”

“The center of our future development will definitely not be in the imperial capital. However, you are different. You will be studying in the anti-magic Research Institute of the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire.”

“When the time comes, he will become your assistant. He can help you with many things that are inconvenient for you to do.”

Hughes nodded. He supported the exhausted Sean and rushed to the designated meeting place.

After more than ten minutes, the two of them arrived at a restaurant. The businessman named Barton was already waiting at the door.

Seeing the two of them walking out from the corner of the street, Barton immediately went forward to greet them.

“Boss, this should be young master Hughes, right?”

“Yes, from today on, you are his man. From now on, you have to listen to his orders!”

Barton nodded in agreement. Then, he extended his left hand and welcomed the two of them into the restaurant.

After a while, the three of them entered a VIP room in the restaurant!”

Sean’s body was still trembling due to excessive nervousness. This was the sequela of the intense consumption of his brain power.

“Drink some water first. Look at you. If you don’t rest, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to stand properly.”

Hughes, who had participated in the entire gamble, naturally knew how much pressure Sean had to face in that gamble.

Tonight, Sean had spent a total of more than a billion dollars. If he failed, not only would all the money he had accumulated over the years go down the drain but even the military expenditure of the entire military aristocracy behind him would be affected!

“Don’t think too much. Since I have the guts to sign up for the Hiro Empire Royal Academy’s exam, I have the guts to make you place such a big bet.”

Hughes patted Sean’s shoulder lightly and said firmly.

“Then I will definitely have the ability to fulfill my promise. Don’t worry, brother, I’ll be there for everything!”

As he finished speaking, surging magic power seeped out from Hughes’s body. The strength of a peak tier 3 archmage was revealed!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Three dazzling magic circuits were imprinted on Hughes’ body after a light sound.

“It’s actually magic circuits! There are three of them as well. No wonder you have such confidence, Hahaha…”

Sean stood up in excitement. He rushed to Hughes in three steps and pressed on Hughes’s houlder.

“You should have said so earlier if you had the ability. I was afraid for so long.”

“I knew you were a genius. You’re only 15 years old, and you actually have three magic circuits. Napoleon The Great might not have been able to beat you back then. You’re indeed my good brother, Hahaha!”

..

On the other side, not long after Hughes and the others left the casino, the second young master of the Bauhinia Duke’s mansion, Lucian, walked into the casino proudly.

“What happened? Why are these gamblers so excited today?”

Lucian looked around in confusion.

A few days ago, he received two treasures from his father.

During these few days, he stayed at home and concentrated on studying these two treasures.

This also greatly increased his strength.

Today, he heard that the owner of the Las Vegas casino was going to hold a grand gambling event that would gather a lot of wealthy customers.

He was going to take this opportunity to publicize his plan so that when that day came, he would receive more attention.

“Whatever, no matter how big the event is, it won’t be as big as the one I’m going to publicize right now.”

Lucian was very confident that he would be the center of attention tonight.

He reached out and grabbed a passing waiter. Lucian asked proudly.

“Where’s your boss? I heard that your boss, Derrick, is here today. I have something to talk to him about.”

The waiter rolled his eyes at Lucian.

He thought to himself, this person has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and seemed honest, but his thoughts are actually so dishonest.

He wanted to start trouble with our boss after blindly gambling money away. How can there be such a good thing?”?

But on the surface, the service provider still maintained a polite attitude.

“Sir, I’m sorry. Our boss has already left. If you want to look for him, come again in the future if you have the chance.”

Lucian felt things didn’t make sense. Didn’t the people in Imperial Capital say that the boss of the Las Vegas casino, Derrick, was a person who especially liked to perform in front of everyone?

Although it seemed that the gambling game had ended tonight, there were still so many people in the casino. Derrick couldn’t have left so early.

Lucian searched around for a long time, but he still couldn’t find the casino owner, Derrick.

Whatever, if he’s not here, then he’s not here!

Lucian made up his mind and jumped into the high platform in the middle of the casino.

Lucian picked up the magic amplifier and coughed twice.

An ear-piercing buzzing sound was heard in the entire casino. All the gamblers looked at the high platform of the casino. They thought that boss Derrick was back.

“Who is that gigolo? Why is he standing on the high platform?”

“Could it be the new host of the casino or the new assistant of Boss Derrick? It shouldn’t be. Didn’t boss Derrick Leave?”

“Who cares who he is? Let’s listen to what he has to say first. What if there is a new bet?”

Feeling the anticipation in everyone’s eyes, Lucian’s desire to perform was greatly satisfied.

Clearing his throat again, he picked up the microphone and began to explain his plan for the next day.

“I am the second son of the Duke of Bauhinia, Mark Oscar. My name is Lucian. After the exam of the Royal Academy of Hiro Empire Ends Tomorrow, I will challenge Hughes in public duel.”

…

“After this battle, the entire imperial city will remember my name. I, Lucian, am the true genius of the Imperial City!”
