Chapter 374 - Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Betting on Luck (2/2)
Carroll also appeared to be supremely confident, with a strange, crystal-like sparkle flashing in his eyes.
If you looked closely, you’d notice that he was wearing a pair of invisible glasses.
No wonder he wanted to bet on luck. It turned out he had come prepared: the invisible glasses in his eyes were made of a special material that allowed him to easily see through the cards.
Chen Yu slightly adjusted his breathing, then casually drew a card from the deck.
Carroll’s expression clearly changed for a moment; he also drew a card, and when they both revealed their cards, the numbers were exactly the same—the highest numbers.
The first round ended in a tie, and both men found themselves in a deadlock.
Carroll, gritting his teeth and feeling unsatisfied, wanted to play another round, but suddenly, Fox appeared by his side and grabbed his shoulder.
“Old buddy, you’re going too far. Coming here with x-ray glasses to play with this young brother here, even if you win, it won’t be a win to be proud of. If I were you, I’d pack up and go home and stop causing trouble here, or else I’ll have you thrown out.”
Carroll suddenly let out a scream, becoming frantic.
His family had started to prosper centuries ago, and the descendants had taken the way of thinking left by their ancestors to the extreme, accumulating billions of wealth.
Theoretically, their family already had the qualifications to join the Knights of the Round Table.
In the past, many members of their family had received invitations from the Knights of the Round Table, including Carroll.
When they saw the environment of the Knights of the Round Table, it was as if they had opened the door to another world, unable to return to their former lives.
Therefore, joining the Knights of the Round Table became an additional goal for their family through the generations.
But no matter how hard they tried, it always seemed they were just a little short, getting eliminated at the very last step every time.
This time, Carroll wanted to make an effort on top of his previous attempts to see if he could join the Knights of the Round Table, but to his surprise, someone else had beaten him to it, and it was a young man not even thirty years old.
“Why? My family is already so powerful, why aren’t we meeting the mark? What makes this little brat any better than me?”
Fox chuckled coldly and slowly moved forward a few steps.
“Although this young brother’s wealth may not compare to yours, he possesses a skill you could never match, the Art of Resurrection.”
Chen Yu’s eyes widened. He indeed knew medicine, but as for bringing back the dead, he didn’t have such an ability.
However, remembering the scene when he saved someone at the Childe Family, Chen Yu understood.
The two patients from their family were already critically ill, and anyone else would have been unable to cure them. Moreover, the Childe Family had even set up a research lab specifically for their ailments, yet to no avail.
In the end, Chen Yu managed to cure them within a month, and naturally, they saw him as a divine healer.
Having someone like that join the Knights of the Round Table meant these old fellows might extend their lives by a decade or even several decades.
In this world, everything is related to interests. The older generation of the Knights didn’t actually lack money; what they lacked was life and a healthy body.
This was also a major reason for Carroll’s failure.
Upon hearing the words “Art of Resurrection,” Carroll staggered and collapsed onto a chair. How many people in this world could achieve resurrection?
