Chapter 317 Are You Brave Enough to Bet on It?
Charles‘ face had also darkened at the sight.
Caspian had suddenly punched Wendell, which surprised Charles somewhat. They were in his territory, and Wendell was also considered one of his guests. Despite that, Caspian had
punched Wendell, completely disrespecting Charles.
“Mr. Lynch, we’re in Hoff Residence, and Mr. York is my guest. And yet you attacked him thoughtlessly. Isn’t this a show of disrespect toward me?” Charles said, his face dark.
“Hahaha, I forgot about you, Mr. Hoff Senior. A useless man wanted to attack me, though. Was I supposed to stand there and let him beat me up?” Caspian said with a grin.
Wendell, who was already in a pathetic state, felt rage engulf his heart again upon hearing Caspian’s words. He felt himself choking up.
Caspian had called him useless!
Everyone present could feel how intent Wendell’s glare was. He wanted nothing more than to burn Caspian until he turned to ash.
It was not just Wendell. Anyone else would be enraged after being humiliated by Caspian in
this manner.
They turned to look at Caspian, who looked calm as he stared at Charles intently. “Mr. Hoff Senior, are you brave enough to wager against me?”
“Uh…” Charles paused. Caspian was incredibly powerful and came from a mysterious background. If he were to wager against Caspian, he was not fully confident that he could win.
“Just agree to it, God of Gambling. If you lose, I’ll cover the costs!” Wendell said vindictively.
He must take revenge! He had not suffered from such humiliation before, not even in Dhord
City!
How dare Caspian humiliate him in this way? If word about how he did not retaliate against Caspian was spread, he could forget about establishing his presence in Dhord City!
“Caspian! I also want to know what methods you can use to contain me in this place!” Wendell
roared.
Upon hearing that, Charles made up his mind as well.
He looked at Caspian with a smile. “If that’s so, I’ll wager against you!”
“Great! It’s ten at night now, so let’s bet that Wendell will die here in Hoff Residence before half past ten. Sounds good?” Caspian glanced at his Patek Philippe watch.

“Caspian! How dare you be so arrogant? Who do you think you are? You’re just the matrilocal son–in–law of the Stewart family! Even if you did join the army for several years and have connections in the army, this shouldn’t be the reason behind your arrogance!”
Wendell flew into a rage. Caspian had insulted him time after time. Did Caspian really think of himself as a god? How dare Caspian think that he could decide the time of Wendell’s death?
Would he be so bold as to attack in public, in Hoff Residence?
“Let me see what tricks you have in store, Caspian Lynch!” Wendell roared.
Caspian was powerful, indeed, but he would never attack when there were so many people.
around him.
Charles would not just stand there and watch either.
“You don’t believe me, it seems. Let’s wait and see,” Caspian said meaningfully, looking at
Wendell.
“I have my doubts about how that can happen too, unless you plan to kill Mr. York in public, Mr. Lynch?” Charles said, shaking his head.
If Caspian planned to kill Wendell, there was no way he would just watch from the sidelines. This was his territory, and he was the one who had invited Wendell. If Wendell ended up dying here, this would also harm Charles‘ reputation..
“Kill him? I wouldn’t want to dirty my hands,” Caspian said in disdain.
“You… Bastard!” Wendell was shaking in rage. As he pointed at Caspian, his hands kept shaking. Caspian had really gone overboard!
“I haven’t met anyone as arrogant as you. Let me see if you have the guts to kill me today!” Wendell said angrily.
“Do whatever you want. I don’t want to exchange meaningless words with a dead man,” Caspian said blandly.
Wendell was so furious he could not speak. He wanted nothing more than to cut Caspian into pieces, but he was no match for Caspian.
The short confrontation just now had made him wary. He was already old and could not
handle any more torture.
The atmosphere became tense all of a sudden.
“Don’t just stand there, everyone. Mr. Hoff Senior has prepared so much good food for us, so let’s dig in,” Caspian said with a smile after taking a sip of red wine.
Everyone looked at Caspian in disbelief, save for Willow, who nodded and continued enjoying

The banquet became peaceful once more.
Charles and Wendell toasted each other and praised each other to the skies. Celestia was feeling increasingly gleeful too as she felt that Caspian would surely lose the bet.
However, Caspian remained seated and was enjoying the food calmly. After eating, he wiped his hands with a tissue. He was not panicked at all, as if everything was under his control.
Caspian lifted his glass and swayed it slightly. Under the lights, the glass glistened. He took a

sip of red wine before saying, ”
Wendell’s gaze was filled with disdain as he looked at Caspian.
“He’s still committed to the act!” Wendell sneered.
Charles and the others were also looking at Caspian contemptuously. They felt like Caspian was pretending to be calm while feeling more anxious than anyone else. Anxious!
