Chapter 565 Free Money



Seeing the three of them freeze in place, displaying expressions as if they'd just plummeted from heavenly bliss into a dark abyss, Daniel couldn't help but chuckle. "That's fate for you!" he beamed. "You see? I've done so many good deeds that God decided to help me out. A wicked gust of wind blew my ball, which wasn't supposed to make it, right into the hole. God has indeed been kind to me!"

Jessica playfully nudged Daniel, smiling, "You idiot, it's a good thing you got lucky and didn't let me down. The money you won, leave it with me for safekeeping."

"Safekeeping? Is that what you call it?"

"What else would it be?"

"If it was really safekeeping, you'd give it back. But have you ever? Every time money ends up with you for 'safekeeping,' it disappears."

"Disappear? I'll kill you!"

Irritated, Jessica gave Daniel a good pinch.

"Ow! Ow, ow!"

Daniel's joyful yelps of pain echoed as the couple basked in the joy of their win. In stark contrast, the three losers wore increasingly sour expressions. After a moment to regroup, Wyatt was the first to speak up. "Country boy, if you've got the guts, you won't back out. Keep gambling with me!"

"Back out? How?" Daniel asked with a chuckle.

"Just before, you said as long as we losers don't call it quits, you have to keep playing. You can't end the game," Wyatt pointed out.

Daniel didn't respond immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Sebastian and Maya, asking with a grin, "You two as well? You think you haven't lost enough to me? Want to lose a bit more?"

"Heh," Maya scoffed, saying, "Country boy, don't get too cocky! You just got lucky that's all! You had luck once, twice, three times—but a fourth? I don't buy it!"

"Maya, when have I ever relied on luck? I've just done so many good deeds that I'm loved by the heavens. So, it's best if you don't continue to bet against me today. Because if you do choose to keep playing, you'll keep losing."

"I don't believe it! I can win it back! I'll make back everything, with interest!" Maya insisted.

She then turned to plead with Wyatt, her face eager with hope, "Wyatt, the billion from before was thanks to you. Now, I want to borrow another billion from you!"

"Maya, I can lend you the money. But just the tourist town project isn't enough. You'll need to hand over several more projects from The Perkins Organization to me."

"Wyatt, rest assured. The Perkins Organization has plenty of projects. I'll easily secure a handful for you, so you can effortlessly earn hundreds of billions."

"With your assurance, Maya, I can rest easy!"

With terms agreed upon between Wyatt and Maya, Sebastian, whose face was now more twisted than ax pretzel, wallowed in misery. He was supposed to win a billion, but in the end, he had lost a billion. A billion! It was unimaginable for him to earn that much in a lifetime of tabor-he couldn't fill that void.

His only chance to turn things around was to continue gambling What's lost at the table has to be recovered at the table, after all. He had to keep borrowing from Wyatt to win back the billion he lost.
