Arielle hesitated. "As for racing, I'm still underage, so that wouldn't really be fair. And as for fighting, it wouldn't be very honorable for a man like you to beat me. That only leaves cards and horse racing."
Arielle's words made the sense of superiority in Georgie's heart instantly overflow.
Racing was his strongest suit.
No one could match his driving skills.
Georgie was the black sheep of the Tate family, the son who never amounted to anything.
All he ever did was party, drink, and waste his days away, never doing anything productive.
But his driving skills were his proudest asset, the one thing that truly set him apart.
His prowess behind the wheel earned him the admiration of many, finally shedding his reputation as the family's good-for-nothing.
Even his strict father, who rarely offered praise, acknowledged that he had brought honor to the Tate family.
Georgie thought, 'But Arielle was right, racing her wouldn't be fair. She's still underage, and for me, a seasoned driver, to take on a kid? That'd be a cheap win. Not my style at all.
'Fighting? That's completely off the table.
'No real man would ever hit a woman.
'If we race horses and she happens to fall and get hurt, it'd really break my heart to see such a beauty in pain.
'That only leaves card games.
'When it comes to cards, I dare say no one can beat me.
'So far, I've only ever lost once.
'But losing to the Gambling King? No shame in that.'
With that thought, Georgie smirked and said, "How about we settle this with a game of cards?"
This was exactly the trap Arielle had laid for him.
It was no surprise that Georgie chose cards.
Georgie flashed a sly smile. "How about we find somewhere private to... get to know each other a little better?"
Arielle looked at Georgie and said calmly, "Fine, but you'll have to prove your worth first. Win, and I'll agree to your terms. But if you lose..."
Georgie froze for a moment, then burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"What a goddamn joke!" he scoffed. "Me? Lose?"
In Konis stood a massive casino.
And that casino belonged to none other than the Tate family.
At this thought, Georgie couldn't help but let a smug grin slowly spread across his face.
Georgie thought smugly, 'Even the legendary Cloud Nine in Haskium modeled its countless gambling games after our family's casino in Konis! When it comes to experience and expertise in this field, no family can hold a candle to ours!'
He swelled with pride at the empire his family had built.
"Don't look down on me. We haven't even started gambling yet. I'm just itching to see what you're made of, Mr. Tate," Arielle said nonchalantly.
"Fine! Name your stakes, anything I've got is on the table," he said confidently.
Arielle appeared to be deep in thought as she casually glanced around.
"I really can't think of anything you can't do. This is Golden District, after all. If you lose..."
Arielle paused meaningfully. "This plot of land looks quite valuable. If I win, the land in the Golden District will be mine. Tell me, Mr. Tate, do you actually have the authority to decide that?"
Arielle shot Gavin a subtle, unreadable glance, giving nothing away.
Gavin said, "Such nerve! You think you can just demand whatever you want? Do you even know what Golden District..."
Georgie waved off Gavin with a dismissive gesture. In terms of sheer power, the Tate family was leagues above the Boone family.
If there was something he wanted, anything money could buy, he would get it.
Georgie burst out laughing.
He was mocking her for not knowing her place, for the sheer nerve she had.
'She actually thinks she can challenge me to a card game?' he scoffed, incredulous.
Georgie turned sideways, raised an eyebrow at Gavin. "This land belongs to the Boone family, right? I want it. Name your terms."
Gavin froze, stunned. He couldn't believe what Georgie had just said.
He thought, 'Georgie just casually demands the Golden District land. Does he even understand the implications of this?
'Sure, the Boone family benefited from their alliance with the Tate family, but we can't treat this so lightly.'
Gavin tried to talk sense into Georgie. "Mr. Tate, don't fall for her trick. The Golden District land is priceless, staking it is way too risky."
Arielle shot them a disdainful glance, her eyes laced with subtle mockery.
"I thought the son of the Tate family could do anything he wanted. Turns out you're just all talk," Arielle sneered.
With that, she turned as if to leave.
"Stop right there! Who says I can't do it?" Georgie's competitive spirit was instantly ignited.
He scoffed inwardly, 'It's just a piece of land. Money? That's the least of my problems. There's nothing I can't do.'
He said, "This land is mine now. Whatever terms you want, take it up with my dad."
Georgie's words piqued Gavin's interest. after all, the Boone family had always been eager to expand their business overseas.
Getting in with the Tate family would bring undeniable advantages.
With the Tate family as their backers, expanding abroad would be a breeze.
Gavin thought to himself, 'As for why Arielle suddenly wanted to use Golden District as the wager, maybe it was just on a whim. From the way she hesitated earlier, it didn't seem premeditated. She was probably just trying to compete with Georgie.'
With this in mind, Gavin readily agreed, this was a deal the Boone family couldn't lose.
'Got him,' Arielle thought with satisfaction as she watched the fish take the bait.
'Now to make sure the Tate and Boone families' deal falls through,' Arielle thought.
Knowing that Gavin also enjoyed card games, Arielle casually added with a sly smile, "If any of your friends are into cards too, why not bring them in? Let's see whose stakes are the most tempting. Who knows, Mr. Tate, you might just reconsider."
At Arielle's reminder, the thrill-seeking Georgie snapped his fingers in excitement.
"Damn right! How could I not have thought of that? Why settle for beating just you when I can take on everyone at once?" He grinned smugly, clearly relishing the idea.
Then he clapped Gavin on the shoulder. "Gavin, join the game! If you win, name your terms, anything goes."
Gavin hesitated. 'No way I can beat Georgie,' he thought, 'but Arielle? That's an easy win.'
Gavin gave a light chuckle. "Since Mr. Tate has invited me, I can hardly refuse. However..."
He paused, then shifted the topic. "Everyone knows your gambling skills are second to none. That puts the rest of us at quite a disadvantage. So, our stakes must be open and transparent, just to keep things fair."
Gavin glared at Arielle, baffled by her audacity to challenge Georgie to a card game.
He thought, 'She'll lose miserably.
'I might not be able to beat Georgie, but crushing her? That'll be a piece of cake.
'Someone from the slums thinks she knows the first thing about cards?
'What a joke.
'This is the perfect chance to teach her a lesson, let her see what happens to anyone who dares cross the Boone family.'
Georgie raised an eyebrow arrogantly, thinking, "No matter what stakes are on the table, I can cover them all, and honestly, I couldn't care less. With my gambling skills, losing isn't even in the cards."
After all, his skills spoke for themselves.
Georgie shrugged nonchalantly. "My stake is the Golden District land. If you can beat me, Gavin, the land is yours, simple as that."
Only after he spoke did Georgie realize the land wasn't technically his yet. He clapped Gavin on the shoulder with a careless grin.
"We'll handle the transfer after the game. I'm buying this land, name your price," Georgie said confidently.
Gavin knew the land was priceless, but compared to overseas expansion, he valued long-term gains more.
"I want a promise from Mr. Tate," Gavin said, without spelling it out, they both understood exactly what was at stake.
He wasn't worried Georgie would go back on his word. a man of his stature valued his promise above all else.
The two men were so engrossed in their heated debate that Arielle was completely sidelined.
In their minds, she was nothing more than a bystander, hardly worth a second thought.
To them, this match was simply a showdown between the two of them.
Meredith tugged timidly at Gavin's sleeve, her face etched with anxiety.
In a soft, delicate voice, she pleaded, "My sister doesn't know the first thing about cards. Please, just let her off, okay?"
Arielle's words made the sense of superiority in Georgie's heart instantly overflow.
Racing was his strongest suit.
