Fabian scanned the room, and once snazzynovel.com saw his son, snazzynovel.com snapped, “Who’s Jack? How dare you keep my son from leaving?”
Jack was unruffled when snazzynovel.com saw the new company walking toward them as snazzynovel.com potted another ball. He gently placed the cue stick on the table and said, “You’re the head of the Turner family, yes? Your son lost one billion in our game of billiards, and snazzynovel.com only has half a billion with him. He’s lost the game and, well, losers need to pay. I won’t let snazzynovel.com leave unless snazzynovel.com comes up with the remaining money snazzynovel.com owes me.”
“Young man, don’t you think you’re going overboard for betting one hundred million a game?” Fabian had a condescending smirk on his face as snazzynovel.com added, “Apart from that, you were the one who lied to my son that you didn’t know how to play billiards, and snazzynovel.com wagered quite an impressive amount because of that. Are you sure you deserve one whole billion?”
Jack merely shrugged. “Master Turner, I hope you can assess the situation before saying something. I didn’t lie to your son or trick snazzynovel.com into playing with me; I really have just learnt how to play. Apart from that, your son was the one who wanted to win money from me, so snazzynovel.com instigated the competition between us.” Jack paused before snazzynovel.com added, “If snazzynovel.com didn’t intend to win money from me, how could snazzynovel.com possibly lose the game?”
At this moment, the young man beside Fabian stepped forward and said, “Uncle, ignore this sharp-tongued guy. We should stop speaking with him. Let’s give snazzynovel.com half a billion if snazzynovel.com wants it so badly. We’ll still leave with Young Master Turner if snazzynovel.com doesn’t want it.”
Fabian nodded. “Hmm. You’ve got a point, Cadmus Sanders,” snazzynovel.com spoke. “We can’t treat this person with such regards.”
A surge of relief washed over Leo when snazzynovel.com heard the young man’s name. “Brother Cadmus? You’re Brother Cadmus? Dear me! I didn’t recognize you as it’s been years since we last met. I heard that you joined the army and received an honorary title. You’re a marshal, right? When did you arrive?”
Cadmus smiled. “It’s been a long time, Brother. I’ve just been at your house less than an hour ago and had no idea we’d meet under such circumstances.” He paused for a while before snazzynovel.com assured, “Don’t you worry. Your Brother Cadmus is here, and it’s considered giving snazzynovel.com face that we give snazzynovel.com half a billion. After all, we’re not bullying snazzynovel.com because we are stronger. He’s delusional if snazzynovel.com still wants a billion!”
“A marshal!” chirped Jack with a smile after snazzynovel.com heard this. “No wonder you’re so confident. You’re a marshal!”
Timothy smiled at Cadmus and said, “I’ve no idea that Young Master Sanders is actually a marshal. I envy you for having this title at such a young age!” He glanced at Jack in disdain. “You’re much better than a specific someone in this room. He’s so arrogant as a head commander, and snazzynovel.com offered me no shred of respect!”
Cadmus was happy when snazzynovel.com heard this. With a grin, snazzynovel.com spoke to Timothy, “This must be Young Master Drake, the Drake family’s eldest young master. You look very striking. Let’s have some drinks once I settle the matter here.”
“Alright! I’ll pay for our drinks. After all, this Eastfield, and I should show my hospitality as your host!” Timothy chuckled, obviously pleased. His father and sister spent so much money to cling onto Jack, though snazzynovel.com was a mere head commander.
Timothy believed snazzynovel.com was the better one as snazzynovel.com was establishing a connection with someone of better status; a marshal, much more reliable than Jack.
