Chapter Twenty-Five: A Complicated Beginning
Fast by, the ship sails to Lisbon, Portugal, where the last passengers of the Galactic Star will all be on board, and Judy's friends will be fully assembled. The ship then crosses the Atlantic Ocean to New York, where Judy celebrates her birthday, Karlev proposes to Medea, and the King of Gamblers contest decides the world gambling king.
And for Zhao Yu, the real challenge has already begun, and from now on, the attack will happen at any time.
However, before any of the above things could happen, a new problem arose.
Andrew King, a boy chasing fame and fortune, was educated by his parents to understand the power of money from an early age, so he regarded Judy, the daughter of Quinn Akins, the richest man in Europe, as a goddess.
The boy who had said he was going to get on the boat for Judy's birthday really got on the boat in Lisbon, and after a day of courtesy to Judy, he disappeared for a day, and before Judy had time to celebrate, he appeared in front of everyone again, but this time, he looked very embarrassed.
"Guys, do me a favor, lend me $30 million, and I'll pay you back when I get back to shore."
"Andrew, what's going on?" Freckled girl Lancey asked.
"yes, what's the problem?" The ladies and gentlemen all asked.
$30 million is not a small amount, even if it is this group of rich second generations, few of them can take it out at once, after all, they are still just children.
"I... I'm being pitted! By Medea that slut! Andrew was furious.
"How?" Hearing this, even if Judy didn't want to see Andrew, she couldn't help asking.
"It's in the casino, yesterday Medea said to take me to see the gambling king, where the game is very exciting, and then. She egged me on. Then I had itchy hands. I was persuaded by her to drink some wine... Andrew said slowly, he cringed, obviously knowing that he had made a big mistake and did something wrong. After all, although people are a little annoying, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is not bad in nature.
"Did you bet with a big golden head named Kalev?" Zhao Yu heard that something was wrong, and asked out loud, why does this thing sound like an immortal jumping.
"That's right! It's that bastard from Russia! Media made me drink a lot and lured me into raising, and that bastard lost money to me at first! Now I have not only lost 20 million in savings, but also owe them 30 million. β
"How so?" Judy covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Although Medea is very bad, she is not short of money?" Why would she do that? β
"I don't know, and I don't think she will lie to me, but God, this has already happened, that slut united with the Russian bastards and deceived his friends!" Andrew yelled angrily.
"No, I think there's a good chance she'll do." Amel said.
"Why?" The crowd asked.
"Have you forgotten who Medea's greatest enemy is? Both love and hatred can lower a person's IQ, let alone both. "Amel looks like a wise man, and besides, she should be right this time.
"Is it because of me?!" Judy was surprised too many times today.
"That's right, who in our circle doesn't know that Andrew is chasing you, although you didn't say it, it doesn't mean that Media will let Andrew go." Freckled girl Lancey Road.
"What grudge?" Zhao Yu was also surprised, these children played too hard, your circle is really messy.
"It's not normal, but that's the only explanation, isn't it?" Amel shook her finger: "What's more, we don't know the other protagonist, Karev's character. β
"It stands to reason that he shouldn't be short of money, right? He's a player in the Gambling Championship. Judy still couldn't believe it.
"We don't know about this, maybe there is something hidden, maybe it's just to avenge Medea."
"After all, am I implicated?" Andrew was angry, he didn't expect the reason to be this: "But now the question is, how do I pay back the $30 million I owe?" β
"We can make up this money, but we can't give it to him for nothing, we should ask for it!" Andrew's friend, a tall boy named Fez, said.
"That's right, if we don't give a reasonable explanation, we'll make her regret it."
A group of people with bodyguards, mighty to the casino, it is now seven o'clock in the evening, it is the time of the gambling king competition. There are a lot of people in the casino, and most of the tourists on the boat are here, and most of the people who travel this time are coming for the gambling king competition, so they are naturally better to gamble. Now some passengers are playing their own games, such as slot machines, turntables, 21 o'clock or something, and there are many people who are divided into piles of onlookers, needless to say, it is the gambling king players fighting. And in the very central place, there are also many onlookers, it is a cash pool of 800 million US dollars, surrounded by a ring of armed guards.
Seeing so many people coming in together, the staff of the casino immediately stepped forward to serve, and after hearing their request, they kindly led everyone to the table where Media was located. At this time, Kalev was betting against a German, and both of them were engrossed, but Kalev's side had significantly more chips than the other side, and it looked like he was about to win.
And Medea and a few of her friends watched from the sidelines, cheering for Karev.
"Medea!" Andrew shouted angrily.
"Who did I think it was, it turned out to be you, a rookie, how about it, are you ready for 30 million?" Media was not at all intimidated by the formation.
"I'm not going to pay back the scammer!" Andrew's face was red.
"Look, this is an IOU, in black and white, if you don't give it, I will go to your father, I believe that my uncle will definitely not rely on this little account."
Andrew's face turned pale when he heard this, and he knew that if Medea went to his father to ask for money, he would have his leg broken.
"MΓ©dea, why are you doing this? You're not short of money! Judy asked.
Media's family business is very large, and there are not many children in the family, and she is the kind of rich second generation present with high gold content.
"I didn't do anything." Medea unsurprisingly did not admit it: "He lost to Kalev in the casino, this is a regular game, and he is willing to gamble and admit defeat." β
"But you didn't tell me he was your boyfriend!" The poor child's pale face defended: "And seduce me!" β
"I didn't hide it, in fact, you can know his identity as long as you ask other friends, such as Judy, so you're stupid!"
Andrew had nothing to say, in fact, he was impulsive at the instigation of Medea, and he lost his usual vigilance, which led to the quagmire he is now in.
"Medea, you're causing trouble for your own family like this, and you'll be kicked out of our circle!" Amel started in the other direction, ready to threaten the other side.
"Nonono, I'm not in your circle in the first place." She pointed to a few second-generation friends behind her: "And I have evidence, I don't think my uncles will be willing to fight against the Leila family for this little thing." β
Media was obviously fearless, after all, they were all young people, and it was normal for some friction to occur, and their family would not be enmity because of this.
All in all, this bad chick is a bad thing that she did after a lot of thought, and she came prepared.
