I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 315
”I…” Rhys was speechless as despair painted across his face.
Kingsley was right. He had nothing else he could use to bet on with Kingsley anymore.
He had lost the casino, so now, what else could he bet on?
Paige shifted her gaze and whispered to Kingsley as she noticed Rhys’ distraught look, ”Did you plan this? Was that why you asked me to wait for the next round?”
Kingsley chuckled upon hearing her questions. ”Of course! You thought I was one of those dumb and rash playboys?”
Paige’s face turned red at that comment as her eyes unknowingly filled with admiration for Kingsley.
”You’re so amazing,” she cupped her cheeks and said dreamily. ”How did you do that?”
The corners of Kingsley’s lips curved up at her question. ”It’s a secret.”

”A secret…” Paige echoed.
Just when she was about to ask more questions, she heard a voice coming from above the stairs. ”Where’s Sienna? I’m waiting for her to roll the dice.”
At the sudden interruption, all heads turned to see a man in a smart-looking suit slowly walking down the stairs with his hands behind his back. He was only in his early 30s but had the aura of a master.
It was none other than Nathan Kearney, the beloved pupil of Solaris Province’s underground gamble master.
”Mr. Kearney!” Rhys’ eyes brightened up at the sight of him.
As if he had found his savior, Rhys scrambled over to Nathan and cried, ”Mr. Kearney! You have to help me! Only you can save me now.”
Nathan frowned when he heard that. ”Are you alright, Mr. Glen? What happened?”
Rhys pointed at Kingsley with a pale face and glowered. ”He tricked me!”
Rhys had overheard Kingsley and Paige’s conversation, so he now knew that it was Kingsley who lured him step by step into that devious trap. ”This punk is from the Nicholson family. He has unusual gambling techniques that he used to create a trap and tricked me!” he snarled through gritted teeth.
”He pretended to be a rookie at first and lost 10 million during Sic bo! Then, he coaxed me into a game of Three Card Poker and lost 5 million again to me on purpose, making me giddy with all the winning! I don’t know what he did, but somehow, he handed me big cards that I had no choice but to bet on during the last round, deceiving me to lose Sunshine Casino to him! F*ck! Until now, I can’t figure out how he did it.”
Nathan raised his eyebrows upon hearing Rhys’ allegation. ”How could that be? You couldn’t see through his tricks?”
Rhys slapped his thigh and exclaimed, ”Exactly! Even I couldn’t see past his tricks. F*cking h*ll! Either he was too skillful, or it just isn’t my day today.”
”Interesting…” Nathan pondered as he touched his jaw, eyes twinkling. However, it did not seem like he planned to avenge Rhys at all.
Rhys was observant; he noticed that Nathan was tempted to step up. Nevertheless, Nathan was the beloved pupil of the gambling master, and people of his status were usually unwilling to make a move in front of so many other people.
After some quick thinking by Rhys, he stepped closer and whispered, ”Mr. Kearney, I know you like Sienna. If you can help me with that Kingsley guy, I will ensure that Sienna accompanies you tonight.”
