Chapter 318 The York Family is About to Collapse
As time passed, Willow, who was initially not worried at all, became slightly anxious as well.
“Are you confident that you can win, honey? Can you really do it?” Willow whispered.
“You should know if I’m good at doing it, shouldn’t you, darling? Haven’t I done you enough times for you to know?” Caspian chuckled.
Willow paused for a moment upon hearing that. She took a few seconds to get the joke.
After that, her face flushed as she pinched Caspian. They were in such a dire situation already, and yet Caspian was nonchalant enough to joke with her!
“Caspian, as you’ve promised me, I want my 800 million back regardless if you win or lose this bet. I want the exact amount, not a single cent less than that,” Carl said coldly.
He did not care about Wendell’s fate. He just wanted his money back.
If the Stewart family learned that he had lost all that money, he would be in an even lower position at home.
“Mr. Lynch, it’s already half past ten now,” Charles got up and said.
“We still have five more seconds until that.” Caspian raised his hand.
Everyone was stunned by that. What could turn the situation around in five seconds? Was Caspian pretending to be calm, or did he really have something up his sleeve?
“Caspian! Don’t even think that you can kill me!” Wendell sneered.
His worries were completely gone now. There were only a few seconds left. What could Caspian do to him?
“Caspian! The next one to die should be you!” Celestia snapped vindictively.
Cole sat there, silent from the start. No one could know how things would end up until the last moment, so Cole dared not be careless.
Caspian did not entertain anyone else. He grinned, saying indifferently, “Three, two, one! They’re here!”
Right after Caspian said that, there was a loud noise outside. The door to Hoff Residence opened, and a group of people surged in.
“Bastards! Who dares enter Hoff Residence to make a scene?” Jean got up, bellowing.
The Hoff family was already unlucky enough today. Not only were they insulted by Caspian, but now these people were charging into the residence without permission!

men,
Did they think that the Hoff family was so easy a target? Just as Jean was about to corral his he happened to see what was happening in the yard outside, which dumbfounded him.
Military vehicles were driving into the yard, one after another. Fully armed soldiers jumped
out of those cars.
These soldiers did not hesitate at all before quickly assuming combat mode. They surrounded Hoff Residence.
Upon the sight of this, everyone was stunned. What the hell was happening? Why were so many soldiers here?
Charles was especially panicked. Were all these people here for him?
Before Charles could continue on that train of thought, Jackson came over.
At the sight of Deputy Gibson, Charles breathed out a sigh of relief. He was on good terms with Alton. Thankfully, those soldiers were here with people he knew.
“Oh, it’s you, Mr. Gibson. May I know why you’re visiting?” Charles got up and welcomed Jackson.
However, Jackson ignored Charles and directly made his way to Wendell. “Wendell York! Kieran York has told us everything about the crimes you’ve committed.
“Azuria Casino, which is a business under the York family, has broken the law in multiple
aspects. As you’re the one who truly has the say over the casino, you’re to assist us in our investigation!” Jackson stood in front of Wendell and spoke coldly.
Wendell froze on the spot. Taken aback, he turned back and gave Caspian a look. Suddenly, he had a realization!
“Caspian, you bastard! You must be the one behind all this!” Wendell bellowed, face twisted in
rage.
Caspian sat there and sipped his wine. He laughed. “Regardless if I’m the one who did it, it doesn’t matter now. It looks like you’re going to be executed soon!”
Only now did Wendell figure out why Caspian had been so fearless as to make a wager against the God of Gambling–he had planned everything!
His goal was to ensure Wendell was arrested, and Wendell had sat here like an idiot, waiting to be arrested!
How abominable! Caspian was way too horrible!
Kieran had initially put up a fight after being caught, but he was intimidated into telling the authorities everything. He even reported Wendell, attempting to pull Wendell down with him.
After having a sufficient chain of evidence, Alton immediately issued an order.
At this moment, Charles was looking at Caspian strangely, his eyes showing a hint of terror. After making a living in New Bay for decades, Charles had done many other deeds that could never see the light.
Caspian had orchestrated a sudden raid aimed at Wendell. One day, it would be Charles who was met with this fate.
Charles was filled with more worry at that thought. All the properties and businesses he had put so much effort into were in New Bay. If he ever got himself into a situation like this someday, what should he do to defuse it?
Charles felt this unprecedented sense of danger for the first time in decades. He should prepare for the future.
On the surface, it seemed like the Hoff family dominated New Bay, but they were still helpless against the governor’s office.
“This is an arrest order signed by the governor himself. Come with me, Mr. York!” Jackson took an arrest order out and said coldly.
“Hahaha! Do you think I’ll do what you say obediently? You’re too naive!” Wendell guffawed madly.
The next second, he grabbed the arrest order in Jackson’s hands and tore it into shreds.
“Let’s see what you can do to arrest me!” Wendell roared until his throat was hoarse.
Wendell was not stupid. He knew that he would never have the chance to turn the situation around if he was arrested today. Rather than surrendering, he might as well give it his all and resist it. Maybe he would have a chance at getting out of this alive.
Jackson’s face darkened when Wendell tore the arrest order up. He said coldly, “Wendell York, you’re interfering with official affairs and refusing to work with us. It seems like you death wish, huh?
“Men! Cuff Wendell York up!” Jackson ordered.
Several soldiers rushed over and took out pairs of metal handcuffs.
“f**k off!” Wendell bellowed as he punched with both hands.
The soldiers fell onto the floor.

“You dare attack?” Jackson could not tolerate this any longer. He took out his gun and aimed it
at Wendell.
With a bang, the bullet was fired.
Wendell froze for a moment. When he realized what was happening, it was already too late.
The bullet was shot into his heart. With a loud thump, Wendell collapsed onto the floor, dead.
“How could he dare to resist his arrest? It’s like he decided that he had lived for too long!” Jackson said indifferently while tucking his gun back into its holster.
“We’re leaving!” Jackson waved his hand in the air. More than a dozen military vehicles drove out of Hoff Residence.
Jackson had only been here for one minute, but he had moved fast and had not given Wendell
any time to react.
Everyone present was greatly shocked.
Wendell York, the head of the Yorks of Dhord City, was killed by a gunshot just like that!
