Chapter 261 - "You Approach Her"
"Well, I also want to see how good she is at gambling...your idea is okay this time." Evan immediately agreed with Jake's suggestion.
This way, he could offer the energy crystals naturally without arousing the baby's suspicion.
After all, it's normal for gamblers to challenge each other as long as they're still around the casino.
"Good, good. Then, let's go?" Jake slapped his thigh and abruptly stood up. "I can't wait to see this genius gambler!" The young man rubbed his palms together while looking at Evan with sparkling eyes.
There we go—Jake's other habits. Whenever he meets someone good at gambling, he will want to challenge them. This guy...the 100'th owner of the Billios Casino with over 1000 years of history, is naturally good at gambling.
Even though his family is not part of the mafia family, who didn't know the Billios Family, the largest and most influential conglomerate in the Godlif country?
His casino and other business even spread all over the neighbouring countries as well.
Not only that, but the Billios Family was an ancient family that could keep in touch with the elves residing in another continent!
It was said that the Billios Family also had a good relationship with the beastman country and the dwarf kingdom. They even did tons of business with the fairies!
The Billios Family was undoubtedly the greatest merchant family that could rival all 7 great families of the mafia society.
They could even clash head-on with the other 7 sacred families since the elves, the dwarf, the fairies, the beastman, and even the dragons were backing them up.
Evan secretly glanced at the energetic young man that didn't seem like the head of the Billios Family's current generation. He couldn't help but wonder if he's lucky to get to know this sly fox thanks to his gambling talent…
Ah, well, his gambling skill depended on Percival to see the future, though.
"Alright, you're ready, right, boy?" Jake suddenly spoke to Finley, who already dyed his hair black and wore blue eye lenses.
The boy had just brushed his hair when Jake questioned him. Finley couldn't help but toss the comb aside and strode to the two uncles.
"Yeah, I'm ready, uncle. Dad, let's go." Finley casually greeted Jake before tugged his dad's sleeve, urging him to leave Jake.
Somehow, he just didn't like getting along with this eccentric young man…
Not because this guy is interested in Ainsley, of course.
Seeing Finley's cold attitude toward him even when they met several times already, Jake could only shrug.
"You're still not cute just like usual, huh? Can't believe a cheeky brat like you get a time fairy's favour..." Jake clicked his tongue playfully as he glanced at Chronos, who was hiding inside Finley's chest pocket.
This wasn't Jake's first time seeing royal fairies, but getting to know a royal fairy contractor under 10 was the first for him.
No wonder the Walter Family flourished. Both father and son got the protection of royal fairies!
Finley heard Jake's teasing and rolled his eyes at the guy.
"Hmph. Said someone who got the royal beastman race' protection." Finley replied curtly as he threw his face away, refusing to look at Jake.
Are you kidding? This person can potentially kidnap Ain or something if he keeps getting interested in her!
"Okay, okay, that's enough, Fin. Don't be so cold to Jack...and you, Jake, don't tease my son."
Evan finally came between them to ease the mood.
Somehow, whenever these two met, Jake would always try to tease Finley…
"Mmm. Right. Let's go." Jake dropped the teasing thingy and casually strode away from the room, leaving the father and son behind. The two only looked at each other and shrugged before following closely behind Jake.
The three of them boarded a public carriage to not attract unnecessary attention by using their respective carriage.
On the way to the Billios casino, Jake called his right-hand man once more and immediately opened his mouth.
"How is it? Is that toddler still at the 11th floor's entrance?"
"Uh, no, sir. She has already moved to the cafeteria area...still on the 11th floor." The middle-aged casino staff replied in a polite tone.
The area on the 11th floor of the casino tower didn't just consist of the main hall to gamble. They also provided a minibar, restaurants, cafeteria, and other facilities outside the main gambling hall.
It was already 30 minutes, so it's not surprising that Ainsley chose to retreat.
"Okay, get it. The cafeteria nearest to the gambling hall's entrance, right?" Jake tapped his left arm as he peeked at Evan and Finley sitting in front of him.
"Yes, sir."
"Alright, good. You can go." Jake cut off the call before throwing a smile at Evan and Finley.
"You hear that, guys? Our target is at the cafeteria. We should immediately approach her– "
"Wait. She should be with her bodyguards, right? Can we just directly approach her?" Finley cut Jake's words without care.
Is this guy really that dumb to immediately approach Ainsley? Won't her people get riled up, and then they start fighting this guy? Not to mention his bunny mask is scary, okay?!
Finley didn't look at himself even though he also wore a black bunny mask covering his whole face. He literally looked like Jake's son more than Evan's.
When Jake heard Finley's words, he paused. The young man tilted his head for a bit.
"Hmm, you're right. If us adults approach her, she will feel threatened…"
"Then– "
"Then you should approach her instead!" Jake slapped his thigh as he looked at Finley with bright eyes.
"Good, good?"
Finley had to roll his eyes again.
Good, your a*s!
