Love Unspoken

"Is that so?" Landon raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Kennedy, are you sure you want to play with me?"

"What's the matter, Mr. Kennedy? Are you scared?"

Landon chuckled and shook his head. "What do I have to fear? Since Mr. Kennedy has said so, I hope you won't regret it later."

Alexander raised the corner of his mouth but did not reply.

Instead, Hetastian, seeing the situation, breathed a sigh of relief. If the issue could be resolved through a gamble, it would be the best outcome for him.

Approaching them, Hetastian took the initiative and said, "Let me deal the cards for you two. Can you trust me?"

Landon walked to the table and sat down, glancing at the man across from him. "Of course, I trust you."

"Let's begin," Alexander said lightly, his peripheral vision shifting to Walter not far away.

Walter caught his gaze and understood. He signaled to the person beside him, who nodded and quietly exited.

Landon said, "Just making plain bets isn't much fun; let's spice things up a bit."

He took a card from his pocket and handed it to Hetastian. "Please exchange this for one billion in chips."

Hetastian was slightly stunned. One billion?

"Sir, are you sure you want to exchange for a billion?"

Landon nodded slightly. "Otherwise, what's the point of playing?"

"Alright. I'll go and exchange it for you." After all, swiping a card was a simple matter, Chips were plentiful Here. Even if it was five billion, he could provide it.

Since Landon exchanged for one hundred million in chips, Hetastian looked towards Alexander.

Before he could speak, Alexander also took out a card from his pocket and placed it on the table. "I have the same intention as him."

Hetastian was amazed. It seemed like they had encountered a tycoon.

Although this offshore casino did good business, with daily turnovers in the billions, it was the combined amount of many people. He had never seen anyone bring out several billion to gamble alone. Hetastian wanted to join the gamble.

But he remembered that this was about resolving an issue. He took the card to verify the funds, then brought back the chips needed by the two, each at the maximum amount of five million per chip. Placing the chips beside the two, Hetastian brought out a new deck of cards to shuffle.

Onlookers surrounded the gambling table, all coming to watch.

Yet the two men remained calm, sitting there calmly. Their eyes met; and though their gazes were calm, there was an invisible tension in the air. Suddenly, Landon asked, "Can you print a contract here?"

"Of course."

Landon took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to Hetastian, his eyes fixed on Alexander. "Since Mr. Kennedy wants to play, printing out this contract shouldn't be a problem, right?" Alexander remained expressionless. "As you wish."

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! Landon said, "It seems Alexander holds all the cards."

Alexander replied, "And so do you."

Hetastian had dealt the two their whole cards, but they hadn't looked at them. Their gazes were fixed on each other's faces as if trying to read each other.

Those who had played before knew that besides luck, this game was mostly about psychological tactics, provided no one was cheating.

Hetastian wasn't sure what the two were doing. He turned over the three community cards on the table and glanced at them.

Finally, Landon withdrew his gaze, looked at the two cards in his hand, and after examining them, casually threw a handful of chips into the pot. Alexander didn't even look but followed suit, throwing in his chips. "I'll see that."

Landon smiled. "Seems like you're very confident."

"As you too."

Seeing both players match the bet, Hetastian turned over another card: the Ace of Spades.
