Chapter 320 The God of Gambling Must Fall
After Celestia’s departure, Cole left Hoff Residence without a word, as this was what he should
do in this situation.
He had been silent the whole night, and he had done nothing as well. No one could guess. what was on his mind.
After the banquet, Hoff Residence was transformed back to how it always was before.
Charles looked at the blood stains on the ground and frowned. “Helpers, clean this up!”
More than a dozen helpers quickly tidied up the hall.
“Dad! Caspian Lynch is up to no good. Should we really just sit and wait for our downfall?” Jean asked in worry.
Charles fell silent after hearing that. Thinking of what he had learned about Caspian today, he also started to worry.
After a while, Charles said, “You’re taking the earliest flight tomorrow to another country!”
“I’m not leaving! The Hoff family needs people here more than ever. I can never leave!” Jean yelled, shaking his head.
With Caspian’s rude and arrogant attitude, it was obvious that he wanted to take action. against the Hoff family.
This was a key moment, and Jean must not leave. More than that, he must not leave his old
father here alone.
“Stop saying those meaningless words! You must do as I say! No one knows when the Hoff family will be endangered, and I’m not fully confident that I can deal with Caspian!
“I don’t want the Hoff family to end up with no successor, so you’re going overseas until this passes. We have some properties there too, so you can return after the Hoff family has weathered through these difficulties,” Charles said, brooking no refusal.
After being in New Bay for decades, this was Charles‘ first time feeling such a sense of danger. He was the God of Gambling in New Bay, but he was not fully confident that he would win against the mysterious Caspian.
He was already old and wizened, so it would be fine if he died. But the Hoff family line must be sustained.
His son was quite capable, and he was still young. As long as he survived, the Hoff family would still have a chance and would still have hope!
“Dad! I can’t just abandon you here. Let’s leave together by plane tomorrow. We can sell all our business and properties in New Bay and never come back here!” Jean cried.
He did not want to leave this place so pathetically. However, judging from how nervous his father appeared to be, they were in a dangerous situation.
Jean could not bear to leave his father alone in New Bay.
“It’s not that I don’t want to leave, my son. Caspian will surely take action against the Hoff family, so I must stay in New Bay.
“As long as you can leave this place safely, I have nothing else to worry about. Caspian wants to topple me. You’ve never done anything illegal, so Caspian won’t do anything to you.”
Charles‘ eyes were filled with tears as he patted Jean on the shoulder.
Charles knew clearly that Caspian wanted to deal with him first, so Caspian would surely
monitor his actions.
He wanted to buy more time for his son.
“I’ll listen to you, Dad. I have an idea, though. Can you transfer all the wealth we own before I leave?” Jean made up his mind before asking.
Charles was hesitant for a while. All the properties owned by the family were located in New Bay, and they also owned liquid assets amounting to hundreds of billions. Caspian would surely go after him if he were to transfer his wealth.
Maybe this would put his son in danger too.
“Dad! The family’s lifeline is in New Bay. If you don’t transfer our wealth, the family will be done for, and it’ll be very hard for us to rise again!” Jean advised his father after noticing
Charles‘ hesitation.
After some consideration, Charles said, “Fine! Our time is limited, though, so you only have half a day. No matter how much we end up transferring, you’re leaving New Bay once time is
up!”
“Okay, got it!” Jean said, elated.
All the properties the family owned were in New Bay. If they were not transferred, what could he do even if he succeeded in escaping to another country?
As long as he had enough capital, he would not need to worry for the rest of his life after his safety was ensured!
Looking at Jean’s expression of joy, Charles suddenly felt somewhat doomed.

“800 million! It’s really 800 million dollars! Let’s see who dares look down on me after I return to the residence this time!” Carl was overjoyed as he held the check.
He had come to New Bay with several dozen million dollars in hand, aiming to earn a huge sum of money so that he would be treated with respect by his family. He had achieved that goal now.
Willow looked at her father now and felt somewhat resigned. He had changed.
“Willow, perhaps you can go back to Southlake first together with your father,” Caspian said
to Willow.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if we went back together, honey?” Willow asked in confusion.
“I can’t go back now. I have some other matters to deal with. You should return to Southlake City first,” Caspian said, shaking his head.
Willow wanted to say something, but she paused. Recently, she had gotten used to being close to Caspian all the time. Now that they had to be apart, she was a little
unaccustomed to it.
“We’re going back to Southlake City? Let’s go. I don’t want to stay here any longer,” Carl said excitedly.
Now, he just wanted to go back to Southlake City quickly. He would cash out his check of 800 million dollars, and everyone in the family would view him with high regard.
He had suffered from so much in the many years living in Stewart Residence but had no way to vent his anger. He would take the chance to vent his emotions properly this time.
“When are you going back, then?” Willow asked.
“Don’t worry. It’ll just take a few days, about three or four days,” Caspian said with a smile.
“You won’t get into any danger, will you?” Willow asked in worry.
She did not know much about what Caspian was facing, but that banquet tonight had told her
everything.
Caspian was surely staying to deal with some difficult matters.
“Don’t worry. Remember who I am? No one can ever threaten me,” Caspian said, patting the
back of Willow’s hand.
Caspian did not take Charles seriously. He just did not want Willow to witness too many bloody scenes.
Willow was a kind wornan, after all. Caspian did not want her to be faced with too much of the dark and violent. He wanted her to always have this kindness in her.

Willow nodded. “Got it. I’ll wait for you in Southlake City.”
After that, she pressed a k*ss on Caspian’s cheek
She knew that she would not be able to help even if she stayed. She might even end up becoming a burden to Caspian.
She might as well return to Southlake City so that Caspian could do anything he wanted without anything holding him back.
Caspian was smiling, but his heart was filled with murderous intent.
The Hoff family had exercised their tyranny in New Bay for years. They owned hundreds of casinos too, and countless people had lost everything they owned in these places.
This was how the Hoff family had gradually accumulated their wealth.
For peace
ace to be restored in New Bay and for the people here to live peaceful lives, the Hoff family must be eliminated.
