Chapter 164: Bragging

Chapter 164: Bragging

Dominic graduated from high school and never went to college. He had

worked as a network administrator, sold drinks at a bar, worked as an

enforcer for a debt collection company, and even pretended to be an

elite in a fancy office.

None of these jobs were enough to impress anyone, except for the fact

that he once worked at Soar Casino.

Although he was just an inconspicuous security guard there, he made

over one million dollars in just one year.

For the wealthy, this amount of money was nothing but pocket change.

But for ordinary people like Dominic, it was a huge fortune.

Young and carefree, he quit his job and opened up a barbecue

restaurant. Unfortunately it failed due to poor management and all of

his one million dollars were spent.

With no other options left, he had no choice but to return here and start

over again.

Luckily, Sebastian was an honorable man who took him in.

Although Dominic had resigned from Soar Casino, he knew all about its

rules and positions inside out.

He led the way while Cheyenne followed closely behind.

"Are you really going?" Kelvin walked up beside her with his icy voice

sounding like snowflakes falling on winter days. He also had a faint

scent of peppermint on him too.

“It's none of your business." Her eyes were blurry yet dazzling with light

that made it hard for Kelvin to see clearly.

"If you have time, just go see your almost dying fiancee, Mr. Foley. If

you're really a man, then stop bothering Cheyenne anymore, because

you've caused her enough misery." Reece suddenly bumped into

Kelvin's shoulder with his own but this hit didn't move Kelvin's body at

all. Instead, Reece almost stumbled to the ground himself.

Kelvin turned slightly towards him with cold eyes staring at him before

pausing for several seconds which made Reece realize that he made

mistake so quickly coughed before lowering his head.

This guy's gaze was too scary! How did Cheyenne manage to stay

together with him for three years? Was she really happy living around

such a cold man?

Besides... he didn't lie either! If it weren't for this man, then Cheyenne

would have become the most brilliant woman in Akloit instead of

becoming a "poor abandoned woman" reported in the news.

"Who said I'm bothering her? I'm also looking for Soar Casino!"

In this casino, you can not only gamble with money but also with

everything in the world, including your life!

When Kelvin was young, he came here once. He gambled away his life

just so that he could get a chance at success.

Hearing the man's response, Cheyenne's fingers, hidden under her

long sleeves, couldn't help but rub at the joints, trying hard to restrain

her curiosity and shock.

“What does a businessman like Kelvin want with Soar Casino?’

A faint glimmer passed through her eyes for a moment, but it

disappeared just as quickly. Since she was facing away from him, no

one noticed.

"Reece, let's go our separate ways. We don't need to bother with him!"

"Yeah, I'm with Cheyenne."

Reece scurried up beside her and almost stumbled in his high heels

before catching himself by grabbing onto Cheyenne's shoulder. The

hand on her shoulder was fair but not as soft and delicate as a

woman's; it clearly belonged to a man!

“She actually let another man get so close to her!" This realization made

Kelvin uncomfortable and he almost lost control wanting to push that

hand away.

But then he remembered that it wasn't his way of doing things.

Subconsciously, he reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a

cigarette. As soon as he tasted the slightly spicy tobacco flavor on his

lips and tongue and felt the smoke enter his lungs, even his soul

seemed momentarily numb.

Cheyenne also smelled the scent of smoke.

When did he learn how to smoke? She used to smoke, but later Kelvin

said he didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so he asked her to quit

smoking. It hadn't been long since their divorce but he had learned to

smoke.

What a domineering and selfish man he is. Why should it always be

him saying "no" and "not allowed"? But in the end, he's the first one to

break the rules.

This little incident was quickly forgotten by Cheyenne because she had

arrived at Soar Casino.

No wonder she couldn't find it after searching for so long. It turned out

this casino was underground while above ground there was only a

bookstore operating there instead.

It was an old-fashioned bookstore full of charm decorated in ancient

style; even blue-bound thread books were placed on bookshelves.

Behind the counter stood an elderly gentleman around sixty years old

wearing a blue robe with silver hair styled into two sideburns framing

either side of his face while sporting reading glasses giving off an air of

mystery like some kind of reclusive master.

Hearing footsteps approaching from outside caused him to look up

while setting down his pen.

On white rice paper lay letters forming a word "Endure" which looked

quite bold resembling cursive script making people admire its beauty

when glanced upon briefly.

"Dominic, what brings you here again?"

Dominic nervously touched the back of his head and smiled at the old

man, "Old Mr. Barlow, these are some friends I just met. They came

here to see the famous casino.”

Upon hearing this, old Mr. Barlow frowned and glanced at Cheyenne's

attire.

The clothes alone cost around a million dollars, and the diamond

necklace around her neck was cut in a hexagonal shape and should be

worth between two to three million dollars.

Her entire outfit added up to at most five or six million dollars.

According to the casino's rules, each chip starts at ten million, does this

young lady have so much money?

Seemingly aware of his disdainful gaze towards her, Cheyenne

remained expressionless but secretly curled her lips as she sweetly

chatted with Reece.

"When was the last time I went to casinos?"

She threw a flirtatious glance at Reece who quickly understood what

she meant and lifted his bangs with one finger while thinking for a

moment before replying, "I remember now... it was last Saturday.”

"Oh yeah! Now I remember too! That's when I lost over thirty million!"

"Right! And when I went to your house later on, you got beaten up by

your mom."

Cheyenne's lips twitched. "Let's not talk about embarrassing things like

that anymore. Later on, my dad felt sorry for me, so he gave me fifty

million to buy band-aids."

"What happened after that?"

“I wanted to use it as down payment for a private jet but then I went to

casinos again and lost it all."

“This time your dad might beat you himself,” Reece joked.

"Nonsense! My dad is really good to me; he even gave me sixty million

and told me to spend it all."

Reece looked enviously sour as he said, "Your dad is really nice.”
