Chapter 221: The Stopper

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Trying to snatch women?” Lucas sneered. “I won this woman at the poker table. Are you thinking of intervening?”

When Lena saw that someone had stopped Lucas, she immediately started struggling and hollered, “He didn’t win me at the poker table. He’s trying to take me away forcefully!”

Tony looked at Lena’s pretty face, and he immediately seemed amazed by her beauty. “Don’t worry, pretty lady. I’m the owner of Little Atlantis City. I’ll never let anyone take someone away by force!”

Then he narrowed his eyes and glared at Lucas with a threatening gaze. “Did you hear that? You didn’t win this beautiful babe. Hurry up and let her go.”

Lucas frowned. He took Lena off his shoulder and put her down on the ground.

He never had any intention of doing anything to Lena in the first place. But because Lena kept pulling Cheyenne back and refused to let her go, he had no choice but to take Lena away too, so as not to waste any more time. He planned to have Cheyenne explain to Lena clearly after they left.

But since Lena vehemently refused to cooperate and was about to cause even more trouble for Lucas, he decided to leave her alone.

He took Cheyenne’s hand and said coldly, “Okay, can you get out of the way now?”

Seeing that Lucas had obediently let her go after Tony’s intervention, Lena thought that he was scared of offending Tony. So she hurriedly held onto Cheyenne’s hand and said, “No, you can’t take Cheyenne away. Quickly let go of her!”

Cheyenne was a close friend of hers, and she thought that if Cheyenne was taken away from Little Atlantis City, she might never see her again!

Cheyenne didn’t expect her close friend Lena to be so insistent on stopping her from leaving. Although she was very touched by how much Lena cared about her and how hard she was trying to protect her, Cheyenne felt that Lena was doing a disservice to them by foiling their plans now!

But Cheyenne could only keep her feelings of anxiety to herself, as she couldn’t explain it to Lena now.

Lucas said coldly, “Didn’t you see that her father already lost her to me just now? Since he wanted to take on the bet, he should bear the consequences. I even confirmed it with him several times, and he agreed to let me have his daughter if he lost. Even if you’re her friend, you’re in no place to make me let her go!”

“You!” Lena was enraged. “Cheyenne is a living person, not an object that you can use for trade. What right do you have to take her away like a spoil of war? I just said that I’m willing to pay you two million dollars in exchange for her!”

Tony also interjected, “Exactly. Such a situation where a living person is used as a bet has never happened in Little Atlantis City before. Punk, although I don’t know who you really are, this beauty obviously doesn’t want her friend to be taken away by you. Besides, her gorgeous friend may not be willing to leave with you either. You’d better let her go!”

Lucas sneered. “You’re so funny! I have to let her go just because she doesn’t want to leave with me? Does this mean that people who come to Little Atlantis City to gamble and end up losing money don’t have to repay their debts to you just because they’re not willing to do so?”

“Punk, you’re being unreasonable!” Tony was rendered speechless by Lucas’s question. He narrowed his eyes and threatened, “You’d better let her go obediently. Or else I won’t let you leave this place!”

After Tony finished speaking, the group of tall bodyguards behind him immediately stood out and surrounded Lucas. They obviously didn’t intend to let him leave easily.

Lucas raised his eyebrows. “Does this mean I have to leave her here no matter what?”

Tony guffawed unrestrainedly with a look of determination on his face. “Yes! This is my turf, and as long as I don’t let you go, you will never be able to leave! But I am not a bully either, so if you let go of the lady next to you, I promise I won’t make things hard for you, and I’ll let you leave safely instead. I’ll also pay you the one million dollars you should have won on behalf of this lady. What do you think?”

The fact that Tony could own a top entertainment venue like Little Atlantis City and run it exceptionally well in Orange County meant that he definitely had ruthless means.

In the eyes of onlookers, Tony was being kind enough by willing to take a step back and negotiate with Lucas while offering to pay him a million dollars.

“Forget it, young man. I advise you to hurry up and agree! You should count your blessings that you can leave safely with a million dollars in your pocket!”

“Yeah! Tony agreed to offer you such favorable terms today only because he’s in a good mood. Otherwise, you definitely wouldn’t even be able to leave Little Atlantis City!”

“That’s right. Young man, don’t let your impulsiveness rule your head. It’s not worth doing this for a woman!”

“Yeah, exactly! If Tony gave me a million dollars, I’d surely take the money and leave immediately instead of being stubborn and insistent here!”

The surrounding poker players all couldn’t help but whisper and chime in with their two cents.

Some of them were really giving advice out of good intentions, while others were just being sarcastic out of jealousy.

Seeing that the owner of Little Atlantis City had stopped Lucas and was even about to get into a conflict with him because of her, Cheyenne began to panic and really wanted to just tell the truth.

But when she saw her father, William, standing near them, she couldn’t help but hesitate again as she considered the fact that their efforts would have gone in vain if she revealed the truth.

Noticing that Cheyenne was getting anxious, Lucas squeezed her hand comfortingly and then looked at Tony. “Mr. Zander, I really don’t want to let her go even though you want me to. Since you operate a casino here, why don’t we have a gamble? If I win, I’ll take her away. But if I lose, I will leave her behind. What do you think?”

As soon as Lucas said this, everyone got into an uproar.

“Little Atlantis City is Tony’s turf. How dare this man ask to gamble with Tony? He really has a death wish!”

“Tsk, I bet he’s complacent now just because he won earlier and thinks he’s really impressive! Who does he think Tony is? Does he think he can win against him that easily?”

“Hah, how silly! He chose to do things the hard way instead of taking that one million dollars! I’ll see what he can do once he loses everything!”

Tony raised his eyebrows with some surprise. “Kid, do you really want to bet with me?”

“Yes, I have the guts to bet with you. As the owner of Little Atlantis City, are you too scared to take the bet?” Lucas deliberately tried to provoke him.

“Hmph, what a joke! Why would I be scared of you? Fine. Since you don’t know any better, I’ll fulfill your wishes! Let me be candid and make things clear in advance. You have to lay down real cash as a stake. The girl is just a bonus. If you end up losing to the point of going bankrupt, don’t blame me for bullying you!”
