Chapter 512
However, Chuck's main concern was to settle Yvette's current dilemma. After all, the United States was home base to most of the infamous killer organizations, and it would be easier to appoint a killer to get rid of Yvette here.
He would get rid of Black Rose and Frieda after all of this was settled.
He knew his priorities.
"Young Master, let's grab some food. The car is ready." Betty had been staying with Karen in the United States.
She knew almost everything about the place. It was not only the home base to most killer organizations, it was in fact Karen's territory as well.
"Alright."
Chuck was starving. He took Yvette's hand and got into the car behind Betty.
They soon arrived at a luxurious restaurant. Chuck did not understand what the waiter was saying and could only seek guidance from Yvette. She was a top student during her school days, and her American accent was very convincing.
"The food on the menu is rather costly," Yvette commented. She looked at Betty agape.
"Young Master, this is yours," Betty said.
Karen had been working in the United States for a long time. She had a lot of business around the place, and this restaurant was likely to be a drop in the ocean. There were around hundreds of restaurants similar to this here.
Chuck pondered for a moment. He smiled and then the three of them went in.
After the meal, Betty received a phone call from Karen. She handed over the phone to Chuck once she had finished speaking.
"Mother." Chuck was overwhelmed with joy. He hadn't seen his mother for a very long time and was unaware of her dealings.
"Well, Chuck, I have something to deal with. Stay there for a few days first, I will come and find you," Karen was occupied with several matters that had suddenly popped up.
Fortunately, the United States was within her territory, so Chuck would not be in any danger.
"Okay mother. About Yvette..." Chuck was most concerned about this.
If Yvette was constantly hunted by killers, she could be in danger no matter how skillful she was.
"Well... I have no problem in keeping her alive. The boss of the killer organization won't be able to do anything to her in the United States, but will she stay here for the rest of her life?"
"No, she is not a citizen here. How could she be willing to stay in the United States all the time?" Chuck was not willing to do so either. He had to go back to his own country regardless of how good it was here.
"Well, I get it. The boss of the killer organization... We have some unpleasant history together. She's well... I don't want you to see her either. To put it this way, she's someone without integrity." This was enough to give Karen a headache.
Karen had a hard time thinking of a solution. They had known each other previously, yet there were some disputes between them as well. That woman had no virtue at all and Karen would not want to have anything to do with her.
This boss was a vicious individual in the public eye, but she clearly knew this woman's character.
"Someone without integrity? Mother, what are you trying to say?" Chuck was startled at her words.
"Nothing. I think we can do this. Ask Betty to take you and Yvette to a casino. It's owned by that same boss. You can go in and have fun, I'll be there later." After contemplating for a while, Karen felt that this plan would work.
Chuck had never gambled before. It would be a gesture of goodwill if he lost a bit of money in the casino, and might make it easier for them to negotiate later.
"I don't know how to gamble. Mother, I'm afraid that I might lose money." Chuck didn't want to get addicted to gambling. After all, it was usually do or die in gambling, and one could lose thousands in a blink of an eye.
Besides, he had never gambled before. When he was young, the most he played with was dice together with Yvette. However, Chuck had a pair of good ears and would often beat Yvette, entertaining her through the game. When he was 10 years old, they would have a wonderful time playing with dice under their blankets.
He recalled his past and regretted not playing other games at that time. Even so, he was too young to know about gambling.
"Silly child, go ahead and play. How much can you lose?" Karen chuckled.
"Mom, I'm serious. I will really lose a lot."
"It's okay. Just enjoy yourself. Even if you lose, it's not like you will lose all my money, okay?" Karen remarked.
Yes, Karen had already dominated one-third of the properties here, and this was solely the United States.
In other countries, she owned half of all the hotels, restaurants, and even most of the shops in the consumer and service sectors. Not only that, she had acquired all the properties in several small countries. She was filthy rich and extremely influential.
Her daily earnings were more than one could have ever imagined. How much could Chuck possibly lose in the casino?
The money that he lost would easily be compensated by her massive daily income. In addition, Karen was still expanding her
business and was extremely ambitious.
"I know, mother. You are truly rich." Even if Chuck wanted to gamble, he knew his limits.
"Haha," Deep inside in her heart, Karen was delighted to receive a compliment from her son.
This had lifted Karen's mood greatly as she had just been expelled from the Lee family.
"Silly child, no matter how much money I have, they're all yours," Karen chuckled.
"Okay," Chuck was indeed moved.
He was exceedingly poor when he was a child. He didn't expect his mother to be this wealthy and to give all of her possessions to him.
"Mother, why don't you consider giving birth to another child?" Chuck asked with the thought of distributing his mother's wealth fairly.
"Me? How old do you think I am? 40 years old and to have a child? It's enough for me to have you. Don't think too much. Go to the casino and have fun. Don't worry about the money..." Karen was instantly dumbfounded. It was really amusing for Chuck to ask such a question. It was as if she was chatting with a little child.
On the contrary, Karen was in a tip-top condition. Although she was older now, she was still capable of giving birth to a baby.
Even so, Karen didn't think about it. It was enough for her to have one son. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Uh-huh."
"I'll hang up first. I'll come and find you guys later. Just enjoy yourself."
"Okay."
"Give Betty the phone and I'll talk to her." "Alright, hold on."
Chuck handed the phone over to Betty.
"Honey, we'll be going to the casino later," Chuck commented happily.
"Casino? Hubby, do you know how to gamble?" Yvette was stunned.
"Remember that as children, the two of us would hide under the covers and play with dice? We even used our hair as our bet." Chuck really thought that was pretty cool, despite the fact that they were merely children at that time.
"Yes," Yvette laughed. Of course, she remembered. Until now, she still couldn't comprehend why Chuck always won.
He could even stack five dice on top of each other to make a small pillar.
He was really skilled those days, but it had been ages since he last played it. The reason being was that Yvette found it boring and was stressed out due to her studies at that time, so she did not want to play anymore.
"Let's play again. Whoever loses will..." Chuck whispered in Yvette's ear. Yvette's face blushed at once as she said softly, "You're so naughty..."
"Are you on for a game then?" Chuck queried with a smile.
"Yes, honey, as long as you are happy," Yvette replied. She missed those days too. Though, if they were to play now, they would lose more than just their hair.
"Young Master, shall we go now?" Betty hung up the phone after Karen had given her an order.
"Okay." He was looking forward to it and wanted to have some fun.
After all, he still had some experience in playing the dice game. Even though he hadn't played with it for ages, he had better hearing than ordinary individuals. Ever since he had undergone martial arts training, his alertness towards his surroundings had increased greatly, making him more vigilant as well.
By having these traits, he would be able to focus and listen to the rolling dice better.
Betty said, "Then, Young Master, Yvette, please get in the car. It's a little far from here."
Chuck didn't mind at all and the three of them got into the car.
Three hours later, they arrived at the casino. Chuck noticed that the extravagant casino was identical to a palace, the parking bay itself already full of luxury cars and beautiful women.
There were plenty of foreigners in the casino along with many attractive interpreters standing at the entrance, providing translation services to those who could not speak the language fluently.
"Hey, there's a Mercedes-Benz over there. It seems that they are all foreigners. They must need someone to help them translate!" A beauty approached Chuck, Yvette and Betty with a charming smile, the other interpreters immediately rushing over to them as well.
"Hi, do you need an interpreter? It's only 100 dollars per hour. It's very cheap." These interpreters surrounded Chuck's car. Judging from the car itself, they could tell that these people were wealthy individuals.
Chuck, Yvette, Betty came out from the car. Betty spent most of her time in the United States, and her American accent was on a par with the citizens of the United States. Hence, she wouldn't require any interpreting services for sure.
Yvette asked, "Hubby, do you need an interpreter?"
"Well... Honey, may I know what is the rate that you're charging?" Chuck retorted with a silly smile. Since Yvette was good in languages, why would he need additional interpreting services?
"Me? It won't cost a lot. I only need..." Before Yvette could finish her sentence, Chuck kissed her and asked, "Is this enough?"
