A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 567:

After speaking, he lay down again, spread his legs, and looked at Dirk Carter with expectant eyes.

The male model was about to take the stage again.

Dirk grinned knowingly and pressed his body down...

When he stepped out of the private room.

Dirk's legs were a bit wobbly.

The two rounds of battle had intervals of only half an hour, and each time was an all-out fight.

This kind of intense exercise could make even an immortal tired.

As soon as he walked out the door.

He saw Rosie waiting at the door with a mocking smile.

"What's wrong? Can't handle it?"

Dirk took a deep breath, patted his chest, and said, "Are you kidding? Of course, I can handle it. I'm invincible, undefeated in a hundred battles."

"So, is it my turn next?"

Rosie took Dirk's arm and asked.

Dirk was just about to grit his teeth and agree.

At that moment, Ewan Forrest rushed over and said, "Dirk, there's news from Bill Bates, Gabe Carter has shown up."

This news made Dirk shiver with excitement.

Not only because he saw a chance to turn things around, but more importantly, the news came at the perfect time, finally giving his buddy a break.

Solemnly, he said, "Call The Leopard Cat."

"I'll go with you with my sister,"

Ewan said worriedly.

Dirk waved his hand and said, "You guys can't show your faces yet. Inform Chance Ford's side to get the funding ready for the takeover of Apex Group."

After saying that.

He hurried away.

The connection with Bill Bates was set up on the very day Dirk arrived in Argentum.

It was Irving Pace, the police chief, who intervened.

He arranged for Bill Bates to be released on bail.

Once Bill Bates was out, he immediately gathered his crew and opened up the casino again.

The first few days, Gabe Carter didn't show up, probably afraid that Bill Bates knew he was the one who tipped off the police and would cause trouble. But after waiting a couple of days, with Bill Bates showing no signs of action,

Gabe Carter felt relieved.

Unable to resist the itch, he planned to try his luck at Bill Bates' place.

As soon as Gabe Carter appeared, he contacted Dirk immediately.

These three brothers were ruthless.

All of them had military backgrounds and knew how to handle themselves.

With just The Leopard Cat, it wasn't enough, so Dirk borrowed a few people from Fleur Haney.

Around nine o'clock in the evening.

Dirk tidied himself up a bit, took The Leopard Cat and another person, and under the guidance of Bill Bates' men, walked into the casino.

This casino was located in a small grove in Rosedale Town.

The main structure was a two-story building, with the first-floor hall filled with scattered tables offering all kinds of games.

The place was crowded, full of smoke and chaos.

Countless gamblers were loudly shouting, eyes red with the thrill of money.

The second floor housed several private rooms, reserved for major clients to enjoy.

As soon as the two met.

Bill Bates glanced sideways at Gabe Carter in the corner and said, "This guy always plays Three Card Brag whenever he comes. Today is no exception. According to your instructions, I've set someone to play with him, and he's already lost quite a bit."

Dirk looked over.

He saw a middle-aged man looking about in his forties, one foot on the ground, the other perched on a stool, intently focused on the cards in his hand, a cigarette hanging from his mouth, looking quite serious.

"Are you sure?"

Dirk asked.

Bill Bates nodded and said, "I'm sure it's him."

Dirk patted Bill Bates on the shoulder and said, "Proceed with the plan we discussed. Don't worry, I've got your back."

Bill Bates gritted his teeth and said, "Dirk, I'll follow your lead."

Amidst the ongoing commotion.

Bill Bates, hands behind his back, walked up to Gabe Carter's table.

Just in time to see Gabe Carter raking money in front of him, his face almost bursting with joy.

Bill Bates cleared his throat and said to Gabe Carter, "Gabe, seeing you're lucky today."

Gabe Carter chuckled and said, "Just my luck, pure luck."

Bill Bates said, "Gabe, since you're so lucky, maybe it's time to settle that previous account?"

"Settle an account? What account? I don't owe you any money,"

Gabe Carter mumbled.

Bill Bates suddenly slapped the table.

He shouted, "The last time you tipped the police!"

This loud outburst.

Startled everyone there, the hall instantly fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Gabe Carter.

The last time Gabe tipped the police,

many gamblers' illegal gains were confiscated.

Several people were jailed for gambling.

Everyone was already full of resentment.

Gabe Carter realized.

He thought, this doesn't look good.

He said, "What tipping? Who said I tipped the police? Bill, you're just upset that I won money, aren't you? Fine, I'll just leave."

With that.

He tossed the cards in his hand and stuffed the money into his pocket, ready to leave.

"Brothers, can we let him go?"

Bill Bates shouted.

A large group of people started shouting, "Don't let him go, he needs to give us an explanation."

With the gamblers' backing, Gabe Carter started to feel scared.

He took the money out of his pocket again.

Threw it on the table and said, "Fine, I won't take this money."

"Do you think that's enough?"

Bill Bates asked.

Gabe Carter asked, "Then how much do you want?"

Bill Bates held up a finger and said, "A hundred grand, you won't leave this room without ten thousand today."

Outnumbered.

Gabe Carter had to give in.

He pulled out his phone and said, "I'll call my brother to bring some money."

After saying that.

He dialed the phone.

The call was to Ephraim Carter.

Gabe Carter said he'd lost money and asked his brother to bring cash over. After hanging up, he sat down and said, "Is that okay now?"

Bill Bates' eyes flickered.

He said, "Fine, once we have the money, I'll let you go. Now, let's not interrupt everyone's fun, come upstairs with me."

With a single command.

Bill Bates' men surrounded Gabe Carter.

Knowing when to back down.

Gabe Carter was sensible enough.

He obediently followed Bill Bates' men upstairs, pushed open a room door.

As he walked in, he saw someone else sitting inside the room, but didn't pay much attention, and pulled over a chair to sit down.

"Gabe Carter, if I'm not mistaken, Ephraim Carter isn't coming here to deliver money, is he?"

Suddenly.

The person sitting behind spoke.

Gabe Carter frowned and turned his head, coldly asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Seeing that person slowly stand up.

He said, "You should have heard of me. I'm Dirk Carter."

Gabe Carter shivered all over.

As if realizing something in an instant.

With a flip of his hand.

A dagger slid from his sleeve into his palm.

Just about to stab toward Dirk.

As quick as a flash.

His hand had just lifted when his wrist was seized by a hand.

Turning around, he saw a woman, appearing behind him somehow.

A pretty woman.

It was none other than The Leopard Cat.

A woman daring to control me?

That was what Gabe Carter thought at that moment.

He was about to struggle free, only to find that he couldn't exert any strength from his hand.

The Leopard Cat used her other hand to chop hard at his neck, and Gabe Carter's vision went dark, collapsing softly into his seat...

About half an hour later.

The door of the casino building was kicked open with a bang.

A man with an even fiercer look strode in.

This man was Gabe Carter's younger brother, Ephraim Carter.

Ephraim Carter looked around his forties as well.

Hands on his hips.

He roared, "Where's Bill? Get out here for me!"

Bill Bates had been expecting this.

He came out to meet him, contemptuously asking, "Did you bring the money?"

"How about I send money to your mother!"

Ephraim Carter shouted, kicking Bill Bates in the stomach, sending him flying and crashing heavily onto the ground.

Seeing this, Bill's men were about to surround him.

At this moment, Ephraim Carter reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun in his hand...
