As I was thinking, preparing to give Alaric a signal to tell him not to place a bet, the well-dressed man suddenly said:
"How many chips do you have in hand?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars!"
"Put them all down. If you lose, it's on me; if you win, it's yours!"
Huh?
I was stunned. Not just me, but everyone around was taken aback. Is there such a good thing in this world? Win and take it, lose and someone else covers your loss. Could it be that Alaric's charm is truly irresistible? He's a heartthrob to both men and women, unstoppable? Or is this well-dressed man really a low-key tycoon? Because Alaric spoke up for him, he's rewarding Alaric?
Encouraged by the well-dressed man's words, Alaric's bold spirit was ignited. With a grand gesture, he declared:
"Alright, I'll bet with you. If I lose, it's my own business, and it has nothing to do with you!"
