Chapter 91 Let me Negotiate


    Alexis said, “Will, let’s make it one hundred million yuan. We will part ways after it ends!


    “It seems that you are not hungry enough this time!” William lifted the corner of her lips into a faint


    smile.


    “I don’t have much time. Make it half an hour!” Alexis curled up his lips and added, “The old rules, we


    will split it!”


    “OK!” William smiled in response.


    The two of them walked over and although there were both easterners, they had bodies that were


    unlike westerners who were usually bulky. They were instead slender and lean. They were wearing


    ck suits and sporting ck hair. It was a sight to behold, the way they were bantering with each


    other.


    “Who is that?” Someone asked, but there was no one answering him.


    Both of them looked very arrogant and obstinate, and after exchanging a final nce, they disappeared


    into their respective suites.


    The suite was just a few hundred square meters, but the floor was carpeted with a luxurious carpet. It


    looked so majestic that it was even dizzying. Waiter and waitresses were all on standby around the


    suite, ready to be ordered around. There was a row of champagne and wine lining the shelf on one


    side.


    The long table prepared for gambling was few meters long, yet only two men were seated on opposite


    sides. They were facing each other.


    William was seated at one end of the table and he was nonchntly lighting up a cigarette. His gaze


    casually swept over the other man opposite him.


    Seated opposite him was a white man in his thirties. He was dangling a cigarette too from his fingers,


    and his blue eyes were fixated on William. After puffing out a smoke, he showed the card in his hands


    andughed maniacally, “A pair of Kings!”


    He was very confident of his own chances at victory because he had a pair of Kings in his hands. One


    was ck and the other was red.


    If William were to win, he would have to hold a pair of Aces, one ck and one red. The white man


    couldn’t convince himself that William had that stroke of luck.


    In fact, gambling needed a great deal of luck and experience for someone to seed, putting aside the


    chances of someone cheating.


    William lightly flipped the card in his hands and discarded it on the table. He wasn’t even taking a look


    at his cards. Instead, he was examining the expression on that white man’s face. What he saw was a


    face getting paler and paler.


    “Mr. Rond is the winner of this round!” The waiter announced and pushed all the chips to William’s


    side on the table.


    The white man had a defiant look on his face. William was simply unbelievably lucky!


    He narrowed his eyes and focused his sharp gaze onto William opposite him. He mused, “Mr. Rond,


    you have a great stroke of luck. I’m impressed!”


    William produced a faint smile on his lips while looking into the white man’s eyes with the same


    sharpness. He asked in English, “One more round?”


    “Let’s do it!” The white man was getting carried away now. All he wanted now was to win back what he


    had lost earlier.


    William smiled faintly, “I advise you not to continue our gambling for now…”


    Then, he paused slightly and then added, “Because you will never win against me!”


    He was so arrogant and proud that all the other onlookers were stunned momentarily. The white man


    let out a coldugh, “Mr. Rond, you are speaking such big words. Whether you win or not, it’s not up


    to you!”


    He didn’t want to believe that William would be lucky to the end!


    William twisted his brows upwards and scanned his surroundings. He suddenly announced, “However,


    I no longer have any interest in this gamble!”


    “You!” The white man frowned, “Are you scared of failure?”


    “I am scared that you can’t bear the oue!” William smiled yfully and retorted.


    “I won’t be scared of anything!”


    “Is that so?”


    “Tell me, how much are you willing to bet?” The white man bought himself another set of chips, “Ten


    million dors?”


    “That’s too little!” William smiled while buying himself his own chips, “Fifty million dors. All in one go.


    Do you dare to challenge me?”


    He stole a nce at his watch. Fifteen minutes had psed, so he had another fifteen minutes more.


    He didn’t want to beter than Alexister on. All the while, Alexis was able to end his game faster than


    William, which made him lose face.


    The white man froze for a moment. He was obviously shaken.


    “I think you should know your limits. You shouldn’t continue this gamble!” Williamughed, “You don’t


    dare to take on the challenge!”


    The white man’s temper was ignited by William’s scornful attitude, “Deal! I will bet fifty million dors on


    this round!”


    “All in one go! I don’t have any more time to entertain you!” William repeated confidently, “Are you sure


    you are okay with it?”


    He didn’t want to get into a scuffle because of the amount they were betting on. It would be too much of


    a hassle!


    “Hmph! I agree to do this in one go!” The white man replied arrogantly, “You won’t be as lucky anymore


    this time!”


    A trace of smile shed across William’s perfect features, but his eyes didn’t reflect that smile at all,


    “Let’s begin!”


    The waiter received the signal and began shuffling the cards. Then, he started to hand out the cards.


    William was the bookmaker this round. The first cards didn’t end up on the table.


    The waiter handed out the second card and it was revealed that the white man got a Queen ck


    spade while William got a number two red spade. He was in a considerable disadvantage.


    The white man concealed both cards in his hands and he began to reveal to himself his other card


    while narrowing his eyes. It turned out that he had gotten a number ten ck spade, which put a smirk


    on his face.


    William smiled faintly, and his eyes were shining with a confident gleam. He wasn’t anxious to find out


    what card he had gotten as the waiter began to hand out their third cards.


    The white man got a Jack ck spade while William got a number three red spade. They were getting


    consecutive cards with the same symbols, which meant that there was a high possibility that the both of


    them would get a flush soon.


    The white man’s smirk was getting wider and wider. There were three cards in his hands which were in


    order and with the same symbols.


    Fifty million dors. He was going to obtain fifty million dors soon!


    William looked unfazed at the moment. With an impressive aura emanating from his body, he leaned


    against the back of his chairzily and watched his opponent opposite him. There was a hint of


    impatience in his eyes since ten minutes had passed. This game was unfolding with the speed of a


    tortoise.


    The waiter then handed them their next cards, and the white man got a King ck spade. He had a


    total of four ck spades in his hands, and on the other hand William got a number four red spade.


    Both of them werecking the most important card now.


    The white man was getting impatient as he shouted, “Fast, fast! Give out the card now!”


    The waiter gave out thest card, and the white man got a number nine diamond card. He was just


    lacking one card to get a flush.


    On the other hand, William got a red spade card, and the number printed on it was number five. That


    would mean the card facing down on the table had to be an Aces red spade in order for him to win this


    round. If that didn’t happen, the white man would win instead.


    The atmosphere was a little nervous as they both waited with anticipation. The white man’s breathing


    became a little ragged as he waited for William to reveal hisst card. Everyone there was waiting with


    bated breath.


    William simply smiled faintly and with snapping sound, he revealed hisst card. At the same time, he


    announced, “I’m the winner!”


    He was treating everything as if it was the most natural course of progression, “Harold, this is the end,


    collect my chip now!”


    Everyone could saw that he had a perfect flush. He really won fifty million dors with such ease!


    At the moment, a man in ck suit appeared from behind William. He headed towards the table


    solemnly to retrieve the white man’s bargaining chips.


    “No! I want to bet again. This does not count!” This amount was his everything. He had sacrificed


    everything for this round! There was no way he could go back as the loser. “I want another round now.


    Don’t leave!”


    In an instant, a few bodyguards blocked the white man’s man, and William gracefully turned around


    and spoke his final words here, “Harold, pass on the word to Alexis that I will be waiting for him in the


    parking lot!”


    “The young master is already there waiting for you!” Harold answered in a low voice.


    “Uh! It seems like he is still faster than me!” William was not surprised at all as he marched towards the


    parking lot.


    In the parking lot, upon seeing William’s arrival, a bodyguard held the car door open for him.


    “You areter than me for just three minutes. You’ve improved fromst time!” Alexis eyed him, “I hope


    you can shorten the time to two minutes the next time around!”


    “Are you that confident that I won’t be able to win against you?”


    “Not anytime soon!” Alexis was very confident. “Let’s go! I’m going to board a flight soon!”


    “Where are you going?” William raised his brows, “I’ve just arrived for vacation, but you are going to


    leave now?”


    “I’m sending you back and going back myself!” There was a trace of smile in Alexis’ eyes, “Are you not


    going to watch over the Rond Group personally?”


    “My body is still fine so there is no need for me to retire anyway. I am afraid that he would get


    schizophrenia if he is on the helm for too long, so I reckon it is a good idea to let him suffer for a bit!”


    William answered nonchntly. Suddenly, he furrowed his brows and asked, “Why do you suddenly


    want to go back? I thought you no longer want to return?”


    Alexis was silent for a while, then he handed a cigarette to William. The both of them lit up their


    cigarettes and a distant look entered Alexis’ eyes. However, he remained silent.


    William didn’t ask any more questions, seeing that Alexis had be silent.


    The car was shrouded in a deep silence, but all of a sudden, a ringing sound broke that silence.


    William frowned and took a look at the screen of his phone. The creases on his forehead slowly


    loosened, and there was a gentle look entering his gaze. Alexis didn’t miss this subtle change of


    emotion on his face, and he was surprised that William had this gentle side to him.


    At that moment, William answered the call in a low voice, “Hello?”


    “William, Sammy has been taken away by your dad!” Sherry’s wails sounded at the other end. “He said


    that I could never see my son again. Please beg to him and pass on a word for me, I really can’t live


    without Sammy!”


    Upon hearing that, William frowned even deeper, “When did this happen?”


    “Uh! It has been more than twenty hours. He has transferred Sammy to another kindergarten, and I


    was not able to find him after searching through more than twenty different kindergartens. William, I am


    really scared now!”


    “Where are you now?” If he remembered correctly, it was midnight back in their country.


    “I am at home!” Sherry sounded as if her tears were going to break free at any moment. “I have been


    searching for him for the whole day, but there was no sign of him…”


    “Just stay at home, don’t go anywhere. Wait for me toe back!” Williamforted her with a mellow


    voice.


    Alexis studied William with his depthless eyes, “Something is wrong?”


    “Nothing much!” William produced a faint smile but the wrinkles between his brows were still there.


    Sherry leaned against the sofa and put down the phone. She felt slightly better now after getting


    William’s word about this matter. She was beyond exhausted after running around the whole day. He


    was busy about Sammy in the day, and at night she still needed to take Dan back home. She was


    simply exhausted!


    “Mum, drink some water!” Dan rubbed his eyes while pouring Sherry a ss of water.


    “Thank you, Dan!” Sherry epted the ss and looked at Dan apologetically. She didn’t make any


    dinner for him tonight. She simply bought something for him to eat.


    “Mum, you should sleep now. Sammy was taken away by grandpa, not a bad guy. We will be fine after


    uncle is back, right?” Dan tried to console her.


    “Yes, you’re right. You go to sleep too, Dan. I have a lot on my mind now, so listen to me and go to


    sleep!” Sherry sent him to his room.


    Dan watched Sherry’s forlorn expression and a solemn look appeared on his innocent face.


    He was imagining his biological parents’ reaction when he was separated from them. He was thinking


    whether they would be as anxious as mummy now, knowing that their son was lost. As he recalled


    being abandoned, a lonely look appeared on Dan’s small face.


    “Go to sleep now, okay!” Sherry patted his face.


    “Yes! Good night, mummy!” Dan nodded hastily with a smile on his face. Only when Sherry turned


    around anxiously with Sammy on her mind, the same lonely look returned to Dan’s face.


    Did mummy only care about Sammy now? He was asking himself.


    He knitted his brows as he mulled over that. Sammy was mummy’s son, so why did his grandfather


    take him away from her? No way, he had to go take a look. He had to return Sammy to mummy’ side.

    After shutting the door, Dan switched on hisputer to find out information about the location of the


    vi belonging to the Rond family. He pinpointed the location on a map and vowed to have a talk


    with Sammy’s grandfather tomorrow. He would get back Sammy for mummy!


    After making sure all preparations were done, he only climbed onto his bed to sleep.


    The next morning, when Sherry woke up, she saw a message left behind by Dan. It was written there:


    Mummy, I have gone to look for Sammy for you. I have taken some money from your purse. You just


    need to wait for me toe back!


    “Oh my god! Where has he gone to?” Sherry began to get nervous as her face turned pale.


    What if Dan was lost too? She hurriedly washed herself up and darted out of her house to look for his


    son without even brushing her teeth and washing her face.


    In the old vi of the Rond family.
