In the blink of an eye, five people had raised their hands.
Walliot deliberately did not raise his hand immediately but instead, he waited until these people had eagerly
cforward before saying, "Countin too, then."
After he was done speaking, he looked at Charlie, and just as he was wondering what he should say to trick
Charlie into playing the game, Charlie then took the initiative to raise his hand and said, "I also like to play Texas
Hold'em Poker. Countin." Walliot was so excited that he almost cheered out loud.
'l was just trying to find an entry point to invite
Charlie to join in this ruse as naturally as | possibly could, but | really did not expect Charlie to jump into it on his
own."
‘Perfect!
After that, Walliot pretended to be polite as he said, "Mr. Wade, | really did not expect that you would like to play
Texas Hold'em Poker too. In that case, we should play two rounds together for entertainment purposes, then."
Charlie also had a friendly expression on his face as he said, "Haha! Mr. Walliot, you're right. We will just play for
entertainment! | have no other hobbies, and |

usually like to play cards during my free time. | enjoy playing although my poker skills are very bad! | basically
have to lose two or three billion dollars every year just by playing cards."
Walliot felt extremely happy in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "It seems as though we are the same! I'm
also very bad at poker, but | especially love to play! I'll lose a lot of money as tuition fee every year."
Charlie was totally unconcerned as he said, "We are all young people. So, of course the most important thing is
to have fun! So what if we were to lose a little money?"
Olivia smiled happily as she said, "Since everyone wants to play, | will also accompany all of you to play two
games, then!"
After saying that, Olivia then added, "Why don't we move to the second floor? There is a leisure center there,
and it just so happens that there is also a card table there." Everyone naturally agreed joyously.
Olivia's father, Richard, heaved a
sigh of relief as he thought in his heart, 'lt seems as though Olivia and my future son-in-law are taking the
initiative to get along with Charlie It appears that they are indeed young talents with extraordinary perception,
and they are able to quickly put aside their previous
grievances.’
As he thought of this, Richard was rest assured, and he laughed as he said, "Since the young people love playing
cards, all of you should go up and play together, then. I'll enjoy a few more drinks and continue chatting with Mr.
Rothschild. | will not follow you guys to go over there."
Walliot's father, Gregory, also had
the sthought as Richard. He thought that the two children had finally recognized the reality, and he was
also equally pleased with the children's maturity. So, he did not think much of it, and he laughed as he said,
"That's right! You young people should go and play. The both of us old men will enjoy a few more drinks."
So, the group of people then stood up and prepared to head to the second floor.
Charlie then said to Helena, who was beside him," Helena, you should cwith me."
Helena nodded gently and went up to the second floor with Charlie.
The royal family had a leisure center of nearly one thousand square meters. There were not only gymnasiums,
billiard halls, as well as cinemas, karaoke rooms, as well as other facilities, but there were also exclusive areas

Texas Hold'em Poker was very popular in Europe and in the United States. After the efforts of the major casinos
in Las Vegas, this style of playing poker had not only becthe most popular method of playing poker in the
entire Western world, but it had also begun to take the world by storm.
Although Charlie seldom played poker, he also knew how Texas Hold'em Poker was played. Charlie had guessed
that Walliot and Olivia planned for him to lose at the poker gtoday and so, he planned to use their own plan
against them to defeat the both of them at the poker table today.
After everyone had cto the
poker table, the man who was the first person who had suggested playing poker then spoke up and volunteered,
"Well, why don't we do this, then? Since everyone here is financially strong, we will have to ensure a fair and
enjoyable game. So, all of you can play today, and | will just act as the croupier for everyone. The winners can
just givea little bonus at the end of the day, then."
It was very common for people to give the croupier a bonus in the Western countries. Moreover, not everyone
would have to give him the bonus, but only the winner would need to take out a few percentages from their
winnings as a bonus for the croupier. So, everyone was fine with it. Therefore, the man then brought out a brand-
new deck of cards and smiled as he said, "Come. Everyone can check to see if there are any problems with this
deck of cards. I'll start dealing if there are no problems!"
