Dominic put down his cup, stood up with a sigh, and instructed Cameron, “Stay home and take good care of yourself. I’ll bring the good news.”
Cameron nodded earnestly, watching as Dominic walked towards the door.
Golden Glory Plaza was bustling with people at night.
In the farthest corner of Golden Glory Plaza, there stood a high–end hotel, with luxury cars parked in front of it every night.
At the entrance of a luxury hotel near the plaza, a black Bentley had just parked.
The driver swiftly exited the vehicle and opened the rear door for Hudson, who emerged wearing a black suit. Hudson then adjusted his attire to better conceal his sizable belly.
Hudson strode directly inside, where the opulent decorations and the golden mirrors adorning the walls created an atmosphere reminiscent of paradise.
The hotel had experienced a surge in business over the past two years, yet providing accommodations was not its primary
focus.
The genuine interest lay beneath the surface.
As Hudson walked down the stairs step by step, the vast hall came into view.
He came to the basement floor.
Gambling tables lined the hall in orderly rows, each surrounded by a crowd. Tall, attractive female dealers, smiling warmly, presided over the tables, expertly dealing cards to the players.
Hudson walked down, with many people greeting him respectfully.
It was clear he was a regular here.
The manager quickly came over to Hudson with a friendly smile and said, “Good evening, Mr. Stout. There’s a big game tonight. Would you like to join?”
Hudson enjoyed the attention of the manager. With a proud tilt of his head, he said, “Oh? Show me.”
The manager respectfully bowed and gestured, saying, “Right this way, Mr. Stout”
Hudson followed beside the manager, attracting envious glances from many.
Someone whispered, “Is that the CEO of the Stout Group, Hudson? The Stout family is so rich!”
Someone else echoed, “Yeah, the Stout family has maintained a good reputation for the past few years.”
Another person chimed in, “I heard Hudson spends a lot of money here”
One guy replied, “Of course, you can tell by how respectful the manager is towards himTM
The whispers gradually reached Hudson’s ears. He smirked disdainfully and entered the private room, feeling very with himself.
The manager had already arranged for a stunning dealer in a strapless white dress. Seeing the manager’s signal, she

As the woman reached Hudson, her slender and tender fingers lightly brushed against his chest. In a sweet voice, she said. “Mr. Stout, good evening.”
Hudson quickly grabbed Jean Horace’s hand and playfully squeezed it while saying with a sly smile, “Hey sweetheart, did you miss me?”
While Hudson was talking, his other hand began to wander cheekily over Jean’s body.
Instead of pulling him away, Jean leaned in even closer to Hudson.
She giggled and said, “Of course! I missed Mr. Stout so much!”
Hudson burst into a big laugh, feeling very pleased.
Giving Jean a strong squeeze, Hudson looked over at the manager standing nearby and asked, “Where’s the other party? Not here yet?”
The manager chuckled and replied, “He’s already here, coming right over.”
As soon as the manager finished speaking, the door to the room swung open.
Hudson looked towards the door and saw a young guy in his early twenties, decked out in luxury brands, walk in
Hudson looked him over from head to toe. After spending so many years in Draxenport, Hudson was acquainted with most of the affluent young men in the city.
However, this young man was entirely unknown to him.
He seemed like a newly wealthy person from another city.
Hudson leaned back slightly, crossing his left foot over his right knee, and thought, Just a boy. It seems like tonight is going/ to be quite an eventful night!”
Zayn Whitman swaggered up to Hudson with a smirk, glanced at him, and scoffed at the manager, “Oh, so this is the old guy you’ve set me up with tonight?”
The manager stood off to the side, keeping his head down with a friendly smile.
Hudson had a smug smile on his face and warned, ‘Kid, don’t get too cocky.”
In this casino, Hudson was always unbeatable.
Zayn chewed his gum and rolled his eyes at Hudson, not even sparing him a second glance as he made his way straight to. the betting table.
Hudson was immediately irritated. He clenched his fist tightly, taking it crack. Tonight, he was going to make this guy pay for his arrogance!
Zayn sat at the table with his arms crossed and feet up, saying rudely, “Hey old man, not coming over yet? Afraid of losing to me?
Hudson was visibly angry, speaking in a low voice, “Don’t cry when you lose later.”
Hudson roughly pushed Jean aside and sat down across from Zayn, locking his eyes directly on Zayn.
The manager swiftly glanced at the uneasy fean, who promptly noticed and made her way to the table.

With a well–rehearsed smile, she declared, “Tonight, we have Mr. Whitman and Mr. Stout at the table. The games are about
to commence.
As Jean finished speaking, everyone’s eyes turned to her.
Jean was one of the most experienced dealers at this casino, dealing cards with both grace and speed.
Hudson and Zayn glared at each other with determination and hostility.
In the first round, Hudson had a royal flush, and as anticipated, Zayn lost.
When Zayn saw the royal flush in Hudson’s hand, he was utterly shocked. He quickly took his feet off the table, rolled up his sleeves, and said angrily, “Again, I can’t believe I’ve lost it.”
Zayn glared at Hudson with a threatening look.
Hudson looked at the chips in front of him and laughed heartily. Leaning back in his chair, he said. “Kid, you’re still too inexperienced to gamble with me.”
In the past two years, countless wealthy upstarts or reckless youths had challenged Hudson, only to end up losing.
Today, Hudson was determined to teach Zayn a lesson.
However, Zayn refused to accept defeat. He glared at Hudson and said, “Don’t be too happy too soon.”
The second round began.
As Jean dealt the cards, Hudson and Zayn couldn’t hide their excitement over the cards they held.
Zayn put all his bets in front of him, looking somewhat frenzied as he declared, “I’m going all in with these.”
The chips in front of him amounted to over 3 million dollars.
A bet this big was uncommon in this casino.
Hudson’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He slid over chips worth at least 3 million dollars, grinning at Zayn as he said, “Kid, I suggest you quit while you still have a chance.”
Zayn chuckled and remarked, “When you’re aiming to make someone fold, shouldn’t you wait for a moment when they have a weak hand to overcome their mental defenses?”
It was obvious neither of them thought highly of the other, and they were ready to go head–to–head
When Hudson and Zayn revealed their cards, Hudson had another straight flush.
As expected, Zayn lost again.
Zayn slumped despondently at the poker table, a picture of defeht, as he wondered, ‘How could thts have happened? Zayn had a strong hand, so why did he lose to Hudson twice consecutively? Zayn couldn’t accept this defeat
Hudson gazed at the over 7 million dollars worth of chips before him, laughing wildly. His luck was definitely on a high today.
Hudson thought, I not only encountered someone eager to give away money, but my luck at cards was also remarkably good, with two straight flushes in a row!”
“I
Hudson, grinning from ear to ear, looked at Zayn and said cold “Are you in or out? If out, you can leave.”

Zayn, who had been full of swagger just a moment ago, was now completely subdued, and Hudson felt great about it
Zayn glared fiercely at Hudson, almost through gritted teeth as he shouted, Tm in!”
Π
Then Zayn waved at the manager and instructed, “Write me a check for 15 million dollars. Since we’re playing, I want to go big. I believe I can win!”
15 million dollars! The amount shocked Hudson.
Zayn typically gambled for amusement, occasionally spending a few thousand dollars to entertain himself, but he had never wagered more than 7 million dollars previously.
However, this time around, Zayn wagered a staggering 15 million dollars.
Zayn seemed to notice Hudson’s hesitation and sneered mockingly, “What’s the matter, old man? Losing your nerve?”
