Chapter 1046 Lend Her to Me

Jerry couldn't help but change color at the names that dropped from Colton's lips. He had only agreed to Sasha's request to kidnap Wendy after looking into Colton. Naturally, he knew of the man's connection with Wolf, but he never imagined that even Pioneers was Colton's, too. Suppressing his panic at once, he looked up at Colton in an attempt to detect anything suspicious on his face.

However, the man before him was frightfully poised, his stern, stony face betraying nothing.

"Pioneers are Restrad's elite troops. It's hardly believable that you, a businessman, are associated with them," said Jerry tentatively. If Colton was indeed associated with Pioneers, then he was really messing with someone he shouldn't have.

Dominic was also astonished. Pioneers was a trump card that had always been kept secret outside of Colton's comrades who had fought alongside him, so it surprised him when Colton revealed it here right now. That being said, it made sense when he thought about it. Wendy had grown up under Colton's nose, so it went without saying how much affection he had for this little sister of his.

"You can doubt it, of course," replied Colton with a smile. After taking a look at his cards, he pushed all his chips out on the table. "I've got a pretty good hand here, so I'm going all in. Let's show our cards."

Jerry fell silent for a moment. Having kidnapped Wendy at first, he was supposed to be the one in the driver's seat, but Colton seemed to have complete control of the situation right now. After looking at his cards, he broke into a smirk and pushed all his chips in as well. "I'll follow suit. I've got a good hand, too," he said before laying his cards on the table, revealing a flush of hearts. Looking up at Colton with a smile, he slowly asked, "You don't happen to have a flush of spades, do you?"

Colton looked at Jerry impassively. Barely parting his thin lips, he asked, "You wanna bet on it?" Raising an eyebrow, he revealed his penultimate card. If he had an Ace of Spades in his hand, he would win this round of cards.

Jerry's face clouded over somewhat with a slight frown. Tapping the table with his hand, he asked, "How?"

Colton glanced down for a moment. Suddenly, he put his right hand on the table with a frightening sparkle in his ink-black eyes. He replied curtly, "Let's bet our right hands on this. Whoever loses this round will have to chop his hand off."

Nicole was surprised, but she retained her composure well enough so that her face gave nothing away. Leaning closer to Colton, she asked in a whisper, "Does this Ace of Spades make your hand better than his?"

"Uh-huh," replied Colton under his breath while toying with his cards deftly with his fingertips.
