The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

guards behind him immediately stood out and surrounded Lucas.
They obviously didn’t intend to let him leave easily.

Lucas raised his eyebrows.
“Does this mean I have to leave her here no matter what?”

Tony guffawed unrestrainedly with a look of determination on his face.
“Yes! This is my turf, and as long as I don’t let you go, you will never be able to leave! But I am not a bully either, so if you let go of the lady next to you, I promise I won’t make things hard for you, and I’ll let you leave safely instead.
I’ll also pay you the one million dollars you should have won on behalf of this lady.
What do you think?”

The fact that Tony could own a top entertainment venue like Little Atlantis City and run it exceptionally well in Orange County meant that he definitely had ruthless means.

In the eyes of onlookers, Tony was being kind enough by willing to take a step back and negotiate with Lucas while offering to pay him a million dollars.

“Forget it, young man.
I advise you to hurry up and agree! You should count your blessings that you can leave safely with a million dollars in your pocket!”

“Yeah! Tony agreed to offer you such favorable terms today only because he’s in a good mood.
Otherwise, you definitely wouldn’t even be able to leave Little Atlantis City!”

“That’s right.
Young man, don’t let your impulsiveness rule your head.
It’s not worth doing this for a woman!”

“Yeah, exactly! If Tony gave me a million dollars, I’d surely take the money and leave immediately instead of being stubborn and insistent here!”

…

The surrounding poker players all couldn’t help but whisper and chime in with their two cents.

Some of them were really giving advice out of good intentions, while others were just being sarcastic out of jealousy.

Seeing that the owner of Little Atlantis City had stopped Lucas and was even about to get into a conflict with him because of her, Cheyenne began to panic and really wanted to just tell the truth.

But when she saw her father, William, standing near them, she couldn’t help but hesitate again as she considered the fact that their efforts would have gone in vain if she revealed the truth.

Noticing that Cheyenne was getting anxious, Lucas squeezed her hand comfortingly and then looked at Tony.
“Mr.
Zander, I really don’t want to let her go even though you want me to.
Since you operate a casino here, why don’t we have a gamble? If I win, I’ll take her away.
But if I lose, I will leave her behind.
What do you think?”

As soon as Lucas said this, everyone got into an uproar.

“Little Atlantis City is Tony’s turf.
How dare this man ask to gamble with Tony? He really has a death wish!”

“Tsk, I bet he’s complacent now just because he won earlier and thinks he’s really impressive! Who does he think Tony is? Does he think he can win against him that easily?”

“Hah, how silly! He chose to do things the hard way instead of taking that one million dollars! I’ll see what he can do once he loses everything!”

…

Tony raised his eyebrows with some surprise.
“Kid, do you really want to bet with me?”

“Yes, I have the guts to bet with you.
As the owner of Little Atlantis City, are you too scared to take the bet?” Lucas deliberately tried to provoke him.

“Hmph, what a joke! Why would I be scared of you? Fine.
Since you don’t know any better, I’ll fulfill your wishes! Let me be candid and make things clear in advance.
You have to lay down real cash as a stake.
The girl is just a bonus.
If you end up losing to the point of going bankrupt, don’t blame me for bullying you!”
