Chapter 389 What's Yours Is Mine
He looked at the furious Luther and continued, "You don\'t have to blame me for this. First of all, you are the one that told me that I should contact my father. And, since that is the case, then I would have to tell him the truth about the matter that you are the one that told me and you heard this from your father."
Luther pointed angrily at Felix and said, "I clearly told you that I overheard the conversation between my father and my mother about this. When did I say that my father was the one that informed me about the matter?"
"Oh, you said that? I completely forgot! It seems that I told my father the wrong information. But, I can\'t change it, because I have already told him about that and my father is currently in an important meeting. So, I cannot call him again." Felix shrugged his shoulders as he replied.
At this moment, Luther felt like he was supposed to go ahead and beat up the chubby Felix. But, he was still able to prevent himself. At the same time, he blamed himself for being so stupid.
He had been trying to make sure that his family did not suffer that much loss, but in the end, he had ended up opening another direct way for the family to lose.
It was clear that, anybody that revealed the secret about the betting was supposed to pay a big fine. But in the end, he had revealed the secret, and, Felix had set him up.
So, if the people from the other nations came to realize that his father had told him about what they had agreed to keep a secret, it was obvious that they were going to do something about it.
\'It seems that I am going to cause my family to collapse. Even though father did not tell me about what he was supposed to pay if they found out about it, then, I am pretty sure that those people with black hearts will definitely try to look for ways that they are going to utilize to make sure that my father became poor.\' Luther thought to himself.
\'It seems that no matter what, I cannot avoid the losses that my family is going to suffer. We have already suffered numerous losses in the previous bets, and now, we are going to suffer even more by paying the fine.\' Luther continued thinking to himself.
He completely ignored what everyone around him was saying. Even though there were some of them that were on his side, Luther did not care about their words. After all, there was nothing that they were going to change.
\'Even though my family has already suffered great losses, then, there is only one way that I can utilize to make sure that the losses that my family will encounter would be as low as possible. And that is, to make sure that we win this final round.\'
\'By winning the final round, if my father places a bet with a higher stake, as long as we win, then, all the losses that we have suffered can be recovered. But, there\'s only one problem. We don\'t have much chances of winning.\'
Felix on the other hand looked at Luther who was standing there motionlessly as if he was lost. But, he didn\'t care. Instead, he felt that he had achieved something.
He and Clinton were best friends. The two of them had always shared a lot, and during the time that Clinton had gone to Majestic and Swift Horse Racing Tracks, he himself had gone out with his father.
And when he came back, he realized that Clinton had been hospitalized as he had been crippled. And the level of crippling was so severe that, even with the level of medical technology present in the country, there was no way that they were going to restore Clinton back to his feet.
This had completely angered him. And after he asked about everything, he was told that everything was related to Luther.
And of course, Clinton didn\'t know much about the current Majestic and Swift Horse Racing Tracks. Still, he thought that perhaps by using Felix, he could deal with Luther who had been celebrating when he was suffering.
Additionally, since the two of them were friends, he wasn\'t willing to put Felix in any risk. Since he did not know about the background of the owner of the Majestic and Swift Horse Racing Tracks, he didn\'t want to involve Felix in the matter.
"Guys, why don\'t we deal with what we are currently experiencing? We still have to decide on what event we are going to participate in." Felix looked at the group of silent youths and said.
Even though it was true that he wanted to deal with Luther, there was no way that he was going to agree for his family to suffer. So, if there was a way that he was going to use to reduce the losses that the family was going to suffer, then, he wasn\'t going to let it go.
When everyone heard his words, they looked at him with surprise in their eyes. But still, they could no longer trust him. After all, Luther had just helped them, but because of a simple grudge that Felix held against him, he decided to set him up.
"What are you looking at? It is not like I am talking in a strange language, right? If you guys really want to win, then you better start discussing about it." Felix waved his hand dismissively as he said.
Just as the group was about to continue discussing, they suddenly realized that Luther was heading towards the door, planning to leave.
"Luther, where are you going to? We have not yet discussed about what we are supposed to do!" One of the youths that was on Felix\'s side yelled at Luther.
Of course, Luther completely ignored him. Instead, he continued to open the door of the room, and left. At this point, he was already having a plan in his mind.
"Hahaha, what an idiot. Since he wants to leave, then let him leave. It is not like he is that important for the next event. He is just good at horse racing, but nothing more than that. Additionally, it is not like he is the king of horse racing." Felix laughed loudly as he spoke.
"Okay. Felix, I hope that you can restrain yourself this time. Luther has already left, so, we have to come up with a strategy that we are going to utilize to make sure that we don\'t lose. This is not just a matter of our reputation anymore, but even our families. We might end up as beggars if we lose." James spoke.
…
"Finally! I was missing the taste of this food. Being enclosed and only eating a single type of food was definitely exhausting even though it was only for 3 days." Celine stretched her body inside a private room as she said, looking at Jack.
After they arrived, Jack brought her to the Glaze hotel. Of course, this was due to the fact that Celine wanted to come over. She claimed to have missed the taste of the food here, and, she wanted to enjoy herself.
Of course, Jack could have prepared the meal in the villa, but for some reason, Celine didn\'t agree to that. Instead, she said that it was way much lively if she came over to the Glaze hotel, even though there were only two of them, something that Jack did not understand, he could only give in. After all, he was not going to lose anything.
"I\'m just wondering where all that food went to." Jack said with a sigh as he looked at Celine\'s flat belly. Even though she had eaten a lot of food, her stomach did not even bulge.
"What do you know. I have been starving for the past 3 days. Additionally, ever since I began training, my appetite increased. So, what do you find strange about me eating a lot of food? It is not like I eat the same amount of food like you." Celine retorted.
"Whatever. Let\'s go and see your mother. I\'m sure that she is getting anxious. The last time that I communicated with her was when I was coming to fetch you. And, she claimed that if you did not go back home, then we can forget about the marriage between the two of us." Jack said as he got to his feet.
"Seriously? How can my mother say something like that? I am pretty sure that you are making this up. After all, of all the people present in my family, my mother is the number one supporter of the marriage between the two of us." Celine replied as she looked at Jack suspiciously.
"Not like it matters. Come, other than you seeing your mother, I need to take you out so that you can relax a bit. What\'s more, I\'m sure that you are interested in the car that we came in." Jack continued, completely ignoring the suspicious gaze that he was receiving from Celine.
When she heard about the car, Celine\'s eyes immediately shone. In the next moment, she rushed forward and hugged one of Jack\'s hands. Then, she said coquettishly, "You\'re going to give me that car, right?"
"You can drive it as long as you want, but as a matter of handing it over to you, that is impossible." Jack responded resolutely.
"But you said that anything that belongs to you is also mine. Are you going back on your words?" Celine asked as she looked at Jack with grievance in her eyes.
"But you have to remember that what is yours is also mine. So, even if I give you the car, then, I am still the owner. So, you can only drive it, but you cannot own it." Jack responded as he opened the door of the private room that they were in.
The moment that the two of them stepped out, Celine was just about to continue arguing with Jack when she suddenly noticed a figure that was moving at a fast speed. Additionally, it seemed that this person did not even notice what was in the surroundings.
