Chapter 741


    Fabian scanned the room, and once he saw his son, he snapped, "Who''s Fane? How dare you keep


    my son from leaving?"


    Fane was unruffled when he saw the newpany walking toward them as he potted another ball. He


    gently ced 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 he only has half a billion with him. He’s lost the game and,


    well, losers need to pay. I won’t let him leave unless hees up with the remaining money he owes


    me."


    "Haha! 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 he added, "Apart from that, you were the one who


    lied to my son that you didn’t know how to y billiards, and he wagered quite an impressive amount


    because of that. Are you sure you deserve one whole billion?"


    Fane merely shrugged. "Master Turner, I hope you can assess the situation before saying something. I


    didn''t lie to your son or trick him into ying with me; I really have just learnt how to y. Apart from


    that, your son was the one who wanted to win money from me, so he instigated thepetition


    between us." Fane paused before he added, "If he didn''t intend to win money from me, how could he


    possibly lost 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 him half a billion if he wants it so badly.


    We’ll still leave with Young Master Turner if he doesn''t want it.


    Fabian nodded. "Hmm. You''ve got a point, Cadmus Sanders," he spoke. "We can''t treat this person


    with such regards."


    A surge of relief washed over Leo when he 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 west 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 he assured, “Don’t


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    you worry. Your Brother Cadmus is here, and it''s considered giving him face that we give him half a


    billion. After all, we’re not bullying him because we are stronger. He’s delusional if he still wants a


    billion!"


    "A marshal!" chirped Fane with a smile after he heard this. "No wonder you''re so confident. You''re a


    marshal!"


    Timothy smiled at Cadmus and said, "I''ve n o idea that Young Master Sanders is actually a marshal. I


    envy you for having this title at such a young age!" He nced a t Fane in disdain. "You''re much better


    than a specific someone in this room. He''s so arrogant as a headmander, and he offered me no


    shred of respect!"


    Cadmus was happy when he heard this. With a grin, he 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."


    Haha! Alright! I''ll pay for our drinks. After all, this Middle Province, and I should show my hospitality as


    your host!" Timothy chuckled, obviously pleased. His father and sister spent so much money to cling


    onto Fane, though he was a mere headmander.


    Timothy believed he was the better one as h e was establishing a connection with someone of better


    status; a marshal, much more reliable than Fane.
