Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1625
In recent years, Stanley aged, and a significant amount of power within the
Silverbane family gradually shifted to Bobby. This shift led to ongoing.
suppression of the Stewart family, who were constantly vigilant to avoid
drawing attention.
In response to this frustration, Richard Stewart, the head of the Stewart
family, spared no effort and spent a large sum of money on inviting a
grandmaster–level expert, Aaron Miller.
“I never expected Quinn’s younger brother to make it to the top eight!” Blake
remarked beside Hattie. He was wearing an eye patch due to serious injuries
but was demonstrating his strong will by attending the event despite his
condition.
“Blake, who do you think will win this match?” Hattie asked for his opinion. She
knew that Blake had previously worked with Aaron’s brother, Quinn, and
would have a good understanding of Aaron’s strengths.

“It’s hard to say,” Blake said, furrowing his brow. “Aaron’s moves are not as
ruthless as his brother’s, but his talent is not inferior. The organizers have
upgraded Aaron’s rating from S- to S, proving their recognition of his strength.

and belief in his grandmaster–level ability.”
“In terms of moves alone, I think this match is fifty–fifty. However, the
organizers have offered odds of 1 to 9 against Aaron, indicating they are
certain he will lose. I think it’s safer to bet on Ruben.”
Hattie nodded, refraining from placing a bet herself. Instead, her gaze turned
to Mackenzie.
Mackenzie seemed to understand without words and glanced over,
seemingly able to read Hattie’s mind. Hattie gave her a thumbs–up, their
agreed signal for betting on Ruben, while a thumbs–down indicated Aaron.
Mackenzie nodded.
Since Emmanuel had already gone to the player’s preparation area and was
not with her, she decided to place a bet after some consideration, her
expression remaining stoic.

Shane took a peek behind her, his whole body tensing as he drew in a breath.
In the next moment, like everyone else, his attention was drawn to the two
large screens on the stage.
“Wow, 3 billion! The Silverbanes bet 3 billion on their own family’s fighter!”

The audience erupted in excitement.
This excitement marked the final day of the competition and underscored
why the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown could determine the rise or fall of
a family.
In the final eight, it was a gamble between families, and the organizers did
not influence these odds; it was a fair one–for–one exchange.
“Haha, Richard, are you bold enough to join?” Bobby provocatively challenged
Richard through the microphone provided by the organizers. “Just admit if
you’re too scared to fight back, and I won’t continue to bully you!”

Richard, a relatively young man who appeared to be under 40, had his face
contorted with anger and his fists clenched.
According to the rules, the Stewarts could admit defeat and not bet, but they
would have to pay ten percent of the opponent’s bet.
Not betting would mean losing 300 million for nothing, while betting could
lead them to either win 3 billion or lose 3 billion.
“Haha, are the Silverbanes claiming they don’t bully others? They’re using
their power to bully others, like coercing through authority!”
Shane enjoyed the spectacle, joining in the excitement.
On the other hand, Frederick worried for Mackenzie, knowing that this rule

would soon apply to the Quillen family as well. The other women of the
Quillen family also watched quietly.
Mackenzie remained calm and composed, showing no signs of nervousness.

Chamber of Commerce, she couldn’t let this pressure get to her. This was just
a warm–up for the challenges to come in the future.
“I’ll bet! The Stewart family is placing a bet!” Richard gritted his teeth and
pressed the button. The screen representing the Stewart family displayed the
number 3 billion. The scene erupted in excitement.
According to the rules, if the Stewart family had admitted defeat and not bet,
then the Silverbanes‘ 3 billion bet would have been open to everyone in the
audience. But no one dared to participate now that the Stewart family had
placed a bet.
“Mackenzie, 3 billion is not a small amount!” Beatrix, sitting next to Mackenzie,
quietly reminded her. “Although the Stewart family has assets of over 10
billion, spending 3 billion in liquid assets could lead to an imminent
bankruptcy crisis!”
