Samuel blushed at those uncalled for remarks and cocked his head slightly toward Jared. “You know


    Mr Chance, it’s not about the two hundred million. That’s not a big deal for the Ballevs. It’s just that.”


    “I’ll honor your request if that’s really what you want.” Jared cut Samuel off before thetter could


    exin further why he wasn’t keen on the challenge. “But I think two hundred million is too little and not


    at all intriguing. I suggest that we raise our bets to two billion since that’s all I have.”


    Jared then tossed his bank card onto the table and gave Sean an icy stare.


    The silence in the room was deafening, and every single soul froze. It was no easy feat for someone of


    Jared’s age to own two billion. Even the heir to the richest of the richest wouldn’t be given that amount


    of pocket money to splurge!


    Sean’s mind went nk for a moment before he forced a smile on his face. “Wow. Aren’t you a guileful


    little rat? Do you think you can trick me into believing that you actually have that much on that card?”


    Sean didn’t believe that Jared could pay up two billion. He did a background check on Jared and knew


    that Horington carried no affluent families. More so, Sean was from an average family. How on earth


    would he be able to umte that amount of wealth?


    “Sean, if you don’t trust Mr. Chance, you should at least trust the Baileys, right? If Mr. Chance couldn’t


    fork out that two billion at the end of the day, we will!” Samuel hissed.

    That astronomical amount was a costly fortune to the Baileys but Samuel was more than willing to


    ce his bet on Jared in order to earn his favor.


    “Wonderful!” Sean shed his widest smile. “I believe that the Baileys are able to provide that two


    billion since the head of the household himself had given the word. Two billion it is!”


    When Sean was done confirming the bet, he looked at Barnabus steadfastly. “Mr. Holt, I shall trouble


    you for this endeavor. You shall take half of the bet when we win.”


    Those were the magic words thatunched Barnabus onto cloud nine. He had never seen a billion in


    his life!


    “Mr. Cooper, rest assured that I will give my all.” Barnabus nodded firmly.


    At that moment, all eyes were on Barnabus. Everyone was curious about how he managed to see the


    secret thaty within the Disc of Eight Trigrams. They also wanted to know how he was going to


    activate the arcane array.


    Galen and Boris’ eyes met and exchanged furtive but gleeful nces.


    The bet on this disc was two billion, meaning there’s a limit to how low this item could be priced. Their


    decision toe to Jadeborough was unquestionably fruitful in the mary sense!


    Barnabus started chanting to the disc. Samuel was anxious and would steal nces at Jared every


    now and then. To his surprise, Jared was as calm as a millpond and didn’t bother to see what show


    Barnabus was trying to put on as if this whole challenge had nothing to do with him.


    “Mr. Chance, have you figured out what that Disc of Eight Trigrams does?” Samuel couldn’t suppress


    his spirit of inquiry any longer when he saw how Jared remained totally unfazed.


    His question drew the attention of many, including Sean, to Jared. They wanted to know if Jared


    already knew the secrets of this disc. It would be too gutsy of him to bet on something he barely knew,


    wouldn’t it?


    All Jared did was shake his head in silence.


    “Hahaha! Mr. Bailey, I told you that he’s nothing but an inexperienced kid.” Sean attempted to bring


    Samuel down when Jared shook his head. “Does he know what a talisman is? Has he even seen one?


    It’s outrageous that you took him so seriously.”


    The rest of the crowd brouhaha to Sean’s mocking, making Samuel absolutely mortified.
