Chapter 17 - Big Fish (1/2)

The next day inside the Grand Lisboa Casino in Macau, four men dressed in armani suit stood stoically at the corner of the gambling site. They were like four lions searching for prey in broad daylight. Even the guards inside the casino did not dare look at them.

”Well, good thing I bought several skills related to gambling moments before we came inside here. I need to let these rich folks admire me in order to give them a good first impression. Follow me, it is time.” Cale smiled evilly.

Cale also removed the mask before they arrived in the casino and left it inside his private jet. He believed that no one was checking on his whereabouts at the moment since the name 'Wolf King' was not known yet. But everything will change in a few months time.

He exchanged one million for chips and headed towards the blackjack table.

An old man in luxurious silver suit was playing at the table, he puffed rings of gray smoke from his tobacco pipe that looked like the renowned 'Smoking Dragon' which was at least eighty five thousand dollars. He looked benign and easy going as he joked with the people at the blackjack table.

The old man and the others saw Cale's group moving towards the empty seat.

Cale smiled at them and sat casually at the empty seat. Brogen and his men then put some of his chips on the table.

”Do you mind if this little one plays with you sirs?” Cale asked them while smiling brightly. The women that was escorting the older men looked at him in admiration. This handsome young man was like the man in their dreams, dashing and cool.

”Good! I'm also tired of winning, don't disappoint me young man.” Said the benign old man after puffing small clouds of gray smoke.

The others merely smiled and told the female dealer to start the next round.

The female dealer looked at them and said sweetly ”You may place your bet.”

The older men placed their bets after thinking for a moment.

Cale on the other hand looked at the card shuffler in front of the beautiful female dealer. Using his keen eyesight and senses, he saw everything inside the machine. He saw that the first card was an ace of spades.

”Kid, place your bet.” Prompted a middle age man who was playing with them.

Cale smiled and said ”I was just thanking my lucky stars in advance. Sorry to keep you waiting gentlemen.”

The older men's lips twitched and their brows furrowed slightly, but they remained silent and waited for him to place his bet.

According to the sequence of the dealing cards, he would get a black jack and receive triple his bet.

Cale smiled and told Brogen to place all his chips.

”One million. All in.”

The older men at the table were speechless at his guts. The benign old man laughed heartily and said ”Good! Finally someone with the guts to play big with me.”

He then slowly inched the upturned card away while maintaining his smile.
