Lord Chapter 315
The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 315 Confrontation with the God of Gambling
At his words, Charles felt a shiver down his spine.
Caspianâs behavior was becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Moreover, there was an air of dominance about him, as if nothing mattered in his eyes.
Originally, Charles intended to figure out Caspianâs background tonight.
However, as the evening progressed, Caspian appeared more inscrutable. Trying to decipher him in a short time was difficult.
Caspianâs profound gaze was intimidating, and there was no room for error when it came to dealing with him.
âOh? Mr. Lynch, you want to gamble with me? Although I donât gamble, a little fun is fine. Mr. Lynch, what do you want to play? Poker?â Charles cautiously asked.
âIâm not interested in these traditional games. Theyâre too boring. I canât say now how weâll gamble, but I can let you know what the stakes are.â Caspian shook his head with a smile.
Poker had no appeal for Caspian. Deception was rife in a game like that. As the Diatoran War of God, if he gambled, it would be on a grand scale!
âOh? Mr. Lynch, do enlighten me.â
Charlesâ eyes brightened as it had been a long time since he encountered someone as arrogant as Caspian.
Even though he didnât gamble, it didnât mean he lacked skill.
Charles managed to establish himself in New Bay and became a tycoon through his gambling expertise. However, now that he was older, he preferred not to personally engage at the tables.
Heâd rather set up his own establishments and use some tricks to make money.
âItâs nothing much. If I lose, Azuria Casino will be yours. But if you lose, you need to give my fatherâinâlaw 800 million dollars! How about that?â Caspian said calmly.
Carl was stunned to hear this. He hadnât expected Caspian to challenge the God of Gambling.
The
guy was renowned as the God of Gambling. It seemed nearly impossible to win money
from him!
Charlesâ expression hardened. 800 million dollars was a trifle for him, akin to his sonâs pocket money.
However, Caspianâs wager was high as he put Azuria Casino as stake. This matter should be
If he did indeed fulfill the bet, he would undoubtedly be a big shotâone with a background beyond anyoneâs imagination.
âMr. Hoff Senior, are you interested in what I proposed? Do you dare gamble with me?â Caspian fixed his gaze on Charles as he asked with a faint smile.
Charlesâ heart stirred.
Azuria Casino was one of the largest casinos in all of New Bay. Yet, due to the York familyâs presence, Charles couldnât act recklessly. If he could win back the casino from Caspian, it would be fantastic news for the Hoff family.
From then on, no one would dare to challenge him anymore.
âSince youâre so enthusiastic, Mr. Lynch, I canât refuse. However, Azuria Casino has been sealed by the Inspector Generalâs office. Can your words be trusted?â Charles asked.
Azuria Casino had been sealed, and without Altonâs command, nob*dy dared to touch it.
Even Charles couldnât openly challenge him since he was the governor of New Bay.
Seeing Caspianâs confident demeanor, Charles was curious. How could he have control over
Azuria Casino?
âDonât doubt me, Mr. Hoff Senior. Iâm a man of my word.â Caspian smiled.
Since Caspian was so assured, Charles didnât press further.
âCaspian! Have you gone mad? How dare you challenge the God of Gambling! What happens if you lose!â Carl stared at Caspian and exclaimed.
Carl initially thought he could take 800 million from Willow, but he hadnât expected Caspian to have such a trick up his sleeve.
Winning against the God of Gambling was incredibly challenging.
âDad, just trust me. Regardless, the 800 million will eventually be yours,â Caspian casually replied.
âIt better be. Willow will testify for me,â Carl said.
He suddenly felt that Caspian wasnât the same as previous. His presence and everything about him had changed.
âHubby, isnât this too risky?â Willow whispered while holding onto Caspianâs arm. âThey say the God of Gamblingâs skills are unparalleled in New Bay. No one can beat him because thereâs no worthy opponent, which is why he never gambles.â
âWillow, trust me. Iâm confident.â Caspian patted her hand lightly.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Willow stopped persuading him. She knew he must have his own plan.
âMr. Lynch, how do you plan to gamble?â Charles asked with curiosity.
âMr. Hoff Senior, hold your horses. Not everyone has arrived yet,â Caspian said meaningfully.
Seeing his appearance, Charles suddenly felt anxious.
At that moment, a helper hurried in.
sir, the head of theâ
family, Wendell York, wishes to see you.â
In the next moment, Charles turned to look at Caspian.
Thinking of Caspianâs confident appearance just now, he felt a tremor in his heart.
How did Caspian guess that he would invite Wendell?
Was Caspian a wizard? Could he see into the future?
âMr. Hoff Senior, heâs here. Let him in so that we can begin the gambling session,â Caspian said with a smile.
Charles breathed a sigh of relief, trying to compose himself.
He spoke sternly, âBring Wendell in.â
âUnderstood, Mr. Hoff Senior!â
The helper nodded and hurried out.
Afterward, Charlesâ fiery gaze locked onto Caspian. âMr. Lynch, how did you know Wendell would come?â
âMr. Hoff Senior, you and I donât have any dealings, but you sent me an invitation to the banquet. You wanted to use this chance to probe into my background, to understand my identity and purpose in coming to New Bay.â Caspian chuckled.
âWendell shares a deep relationship with you. As for us, weâre enemies. To quickly understand me, inviting this person over would be the best move. Am I right, Mr. Hoff Senior?â
Charlesâ face turned ashen. After hearing Caspianâs words, he burst into laughter. âMr. Lynch, I didnât expect you to be so capable. I underestimated you before. However, I have a question. Why would someone as talented as you willingly become the Stewart familyâs sonâinâlaw?â While saying this, Charles glanced at Carl.
