Chapter 123
“F*ck! I lost another eight hundred thousand. I'm so unlucky today.” Kevin stood up with his right hand hidden in his sleeve, hiding his three missing fingers that were cut off by Donald.
Mark laughed. “What's eight hundred thousand to you? Your sister is affluent, anyway. Why not go for another round? I can introduce you to another friend to join you.
Kevin answered in a bored tone, “All right, then. What's his name?”
“Everyone calls him Rupert,” Mark said with a smile. “He has a gorgeous sister, too.”
After saying that, he winked at Kevin.
That perked up Kevin's interest. “Let's go.”
As Mark watched his leaving figure, the former had a mocking look. Let's see how well you'll survive in Blade Alliance.
In the room, Kevin finally saw the Rupert that Mark was talking about. He was about twenty-five to twenty-six years old and looked like a pretty boy. When compared to Nigel's domineering aura, Rupert might as well be considered a woman by how fair his skin was. Beside him sat a long-legged woman wearing mini shorts and a T-shirt.
Kevin could not move his gaze away from the woman's legs, his breath quickening.
It had been a long time since he saw legs as beautiful as hers—long, slender, smooth, and without any excess fat.
“Rupert, let me introduce you to the younger brother of Pollerton Pharma's CEO, Kevin Wilson,” Mark said.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Rupert stood up politely. “Nice to meet you. My name is Rupert Rodriguez, and this is my sister Anastasia Rodriguez.”
“Nice to meet you, Rupert.” Kevin shook hands with him.
“Should we play a couple of rounds?” Rupert asked with a smile. “What game should we play?” “Let's play three-card poker,” Kevin replied.
“How about a ten thousand minimum and a no capped limit to how much we lose?” Rupert asked. “Money is not a problem for you, right?”
Kevin's neck stiffened. “My elder sister is the CEO of Pollerton Pharma. There's no need to worry about money.” Then, he handed a card to Mark. “Please withdraw five million for me.”
There was ten million in the card, which was the deposit Pollerton Commerce gave for Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Mark took over the card and walked away with a smile. Meanwhile, a curious look shot across Rupert's face. It seems that he's way richer than I thought he would be.
“I was planning to buy a Lamborghini, but since you invited me, there's no way I would say no.” Kevin took out a gum from his pocket. At that moment, he felt like a master in gambling.
Rupert smiled shyly. “I don't really know how to play, so you'll have to teach me.” “No problem.” Kevin laughed before turning to look at Anastasia. “Can I have your WhatsApp contact?”
Anastasia's eyes flickered as she answered, “Of course. However, I have something to ask you. I'll be on the job market soon, so I hope you can introduce me to a few jobs.”
“You can work at my sister's company,” Kevin offered without a second thought.
Outside the door, Anastasia and Mark stood side by side, watching Kevin play.
“According to Nigel, Jennifer is currently the ambassador of the Wilson family. Despite her being disobedient at times, the head of the family is still willing to support her. Thus, they want you to seize power from her and control the business yourself. Alicia from the Wilson family will assist you on this.” After a moment, Mark added, “Nigel says it's fine to teach Jennifer a lesson. If she still refuses to listen to us, we can kill her.”
Anastasia bounced on the balls of her feet. “Have you investigated Jennifer's background?”
Mark uttered disdainfully, “Don't worry. I dug quite a lot about her. She came from a normal civilian family. Oh, right. She's also divorced, and her ex-husband was previously a small renovation company owner. Now, he's working as Lana's bodyguard. So don't worry about it. No one important would care if she disappeared.”
