Chapter 31 (1/2)

The gamblers in the casino were still cheering. On the high platform, Derrick was still shouting crazily.

Everyone was cheering for the grand gamble today.

However, no one knew that the two men who had helped form this bet had already left the casino.

“Do you have some time? Come with me, I will take you to meet someone.”

“Without him tonight, our plan will be very difficult to achieve.”

Sean looked at Hughes and said tiredly.

“Let’s go. I want to meet this person as well.”

As Duke Norton’s second son, Hughes had been by his father’s side since he was very young. He had seen many people.

He knew that Sean was paving the way for him. He wanted to hand over the connections in the imperial capital to him.

As expected, Sean’s next sentence mentioned the identity of this person.

“This person is called Barton. Three years ago, when his family was facing a life and death situation, I saved him. From then on, he became my subordinate.”

“This person is not just a businessman. He also has a rather important position in the imperial capital’s underground world.”

“The center of our future development will definitely not be in the imperial capital. However, you are different. You will be studying in the anti-magic Research Institute of the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire.”

“When the time comes, he will become your assistant. He can help you with many things that are inconvenient for you to do.”

Hughes nodded. He supported the exhausted Sean and rushed to the designated meeting place.

After more than ten minutes, the two of them arrived at a restaurant. The businessman named Barton was already waiting at the door.

Seeing the two of them walking out from the corner of the street, Barton immediately went forward to greet them.

“Boss, this should be young master Hughes, right?”

“Yes, from today on, you are his man. From now on, you have to listen to his orders!”

Barton nodded in agreement. Then, he extended his left hand and welcomed the two of them into the restaurant.

After a while, the three of them entered a VIP room in the restaurant!”

Sean’s body was still trembling due to excessive nervousness. This was the sequela of the intense consumption of his brain power.

“Drink some water first. Look at you. If you don’t rest, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to stand properly.”

Hughes, who had participated in the entire gamble, naturally knew how much pressure Sean had to face in that gamble.

Tonight, Sean had spent a total of more than a billion dollars. If he failed, not only would all the money he had accumulated over the years go down the drain but even the military expenditure of the entire military aristocracy behind him would be affected!

“Don’t think too much. Since I have the guts to sign up for the Hiro Empire Royal Academy’s exam, I have the guts to make you place such a big bet.”

Hughes patted Sean’s shoulder lightly and said firmly.

“Then I will definitely have the ability to fulfill my promise. Don’t worry, brother, I’ll be there for everything!”

As he finished speaking, surging magic power seeped out from Hughes’s body. The strength of a peak tier 3 archmage was revealed!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Three dazzling magic circuits were imprinted on Hughes’ body after a light sound.

“It’s actually magic circuits! There are three of them as well. No wonder you have such confidence, Hahaha…”

Sean stood up in excitement. He rushed to Hughes in three steps and pressed on Hughes’s houlder.

“You should have said so earlier if you had the ability. I was afraid for so long.”
