âYou want me to call you âfatherâ?â
âWhy would you want that?â
Obviously, Thea was not Cassandra, and she didnât jump straight into the trap. She probably felt that
two million wasnât exactly a lot of money.
âThen, donât make such a fuss,â Alex said. âThe Golden Tower is so big, and there are so many fun
things here. Why are you following us? You can head off yourself and play!â
âYou⦠I just wanted to have the front row seat to see how you lose everything you have by gambling
here.â
âThen, Iâm going to disappoint you. Even if I bought all the ores here today, I canât lose everything I
have.â
Alex then asked the disciple to push the cart alongside him.
It was like he was at a supermarket, placing things that he thought looked good as he browsed around,
not really looking closely at what he put inside the cart.
To the others who were watching him, it looked like he was blindly guessing and choosing the ones that
he picked. The more knowledgeable ones shook their heads when they saw him pick the ores the way
he was doing. They probably thought that this must be some spendthrift from god knows where.
Those who picked ores usually would carefully study them, and a lot of people would even shine a
bright flashlight on the ores, as though trying to determine shine through the ore with it to see if there
were emeralds inside it.
Alex was something else, picking the ores like picking vegetables from the supermarket In just a short
three minutes, the cart that the service boy was pushing was almost filled to the brim.
The service boy was initially very happy, thinking that he had really good luck today to be able to bump
into such a spendthrift. Not only did he know nothing, but he was also generous in picking such a big
amount of ores. The total value of the ores in the cart was also worth more than eighty million. He
would get 1% commission from the total value, and that was already eight hundred thousand!
He had hit the jackpot!
However, when he saw how Theaâs face got more disdainful as time passed, he also felt that
something wasnât right. How could anyone buy so many ores?
Even if they didnât know anything, at most, theyâd pick up a few pieces and have it opened up to check.
âThis guy, could it be that he really has no money to pay and was only using this to amuse himself?â
Just as he was thinking this, Alex opened his mouth and said, âAlright, thatâs enough for now. Where do
I pay?â
Thea was extremely shocked, and her eyes were wide as she said, âIâve recorded it down for you, and
the total value of this cart, excluding the scraps, is eighty three million. Excuse me, do you even have
that much money?â
Alex calmly replied, âThe bet just now is still valid.â
Thea snorted. âFine, if you can afford eighty three million, I will kneel immediately and call you âfatherâ.
But, if you canât, then youâre going to take off your clothes and crawl ten laps around this place for me.â
âDeal, swipe the card!â
Alex took out the bank card and handed it to the service boy.
Thea sneered, âYouâre using the most common debit card that all civilians use. Are you seriously telling
me that you have eighty three million deposited inside there? Do you believe this, service boy?â
âYouâll know when you swipe it!â Alex said.
Very quickly, several other people also came to the cash register.
Half a minute later, Alex entered his password.
Ding!
A soft sound echoed out, and a receipt was printed out.
Thea stared intently and asked, âSo? Has the transaction failed? He canât possibly pay more than
eighty million with that bank card, right?â
The service staff at the checkout counter took the receipt and said, âNo, once the transaction is
successful, the receipt will be printed. Dear respectable Sir, thank you for buying ores at our Golden
Tower. Here are your bank card and receipt. Please keep them well!â
Theaâs jaw dropped, her mouth wide opened. She couldnât accept the fact.
âImpossible, thatâs impossible! It must be a mistake. How can he have that much money?!â
Alex sneered. âThea, the facts are right in front of you. So? You accepted the bet, so you should
acknowledge the loss. You can kneel and call me âfatherâ now, right?â
How would Thea be willing to do that?
Toward Alex, she felt extreme resentment and hoped that he would always have bad luck. Knee! and
call him âfatherâ?
Dream on!
âYou should give up on that Iâll only call you âfatherâ perhaps in my next life!â
However, the moment she said that, the woman at the cashier snorted coldly and said, âIn the Golden
Tower thatâs run by Boss Winn, there has never been anyone who accepts the bet but does not admit
their defeat according to the rules. If you do so, youâll leave a hand behind.â
âWhat?!â
