Chapter 1697
Herb glanced at Griffon, who seemed uninterested, with a hint of malicious intent in his eyes.
“Alright, let the Carmine pack surrender this round first, but whoever reaches this stage must finish the
final round, with new rules for winning or losing. How about that?”
Before Griffon could respond, Preston immediately slammed the table.
“I agree, that’s settled then!”
No matter what, they had to protect his ship and the two
robots!
Griffon didn’t have much of a reaction, he simply reached out and pulled Taya closer to him, then lifted
his cold gaze towards Johnny.
“Shall we continue?”
Johnny’s gaze briefly flickered over the hand placed on hist waist before quickly looking away.
“There is no winner yet, of course we should continue.”

Griffon moved his hand from Taya’s waist up to the back of her head and gently pressed, causing her
to nestle into his
arms.

“Then let’s continue.”
Although it was a bit embarrassing to embrace each other in front of so many people, Taya obediently
cooperated with Griffon.
She nestled in his arms, looking up at him, which Johnny found inexplicably irritating.
He clenched his fist, averted his gaze, and stopped looking at Taya.
After all, Griffon had warned him multiple times of hist sovereignty, and it wouldn’t be good to keep
looking.
But he couldn’t control himself from looking at her, he certainly couldn’t gouge out his own eyeballs.
Herb couldn’t see the hidden tension between Griffon and Johnny, he was only focused on the ongoing
gambling game.
“Alpha, for the final round, let’s raise the difficulty level, shall
we?”

Harper frowned disapprovingly at Herb.
“What kind of tricky idea do you have now?”
Herb drew two jokers from the deck of cards.

“Mr. Knight, you and I will draw cards first. Whoever draws the big joker gets to set the rules for winning
and losing, and the rewards and punishments can be announced after the game.
ends.”
After speaking, Herb raised an eyebrow at Griffon. “What do you say, Alpha, do you dare to gamble
with me?”
Harper felt that things were getting a bit excessive. “Mr. Carmine, with the rules you’re setting, won’t the
loser end up losing everything?”
Herb looked at Harper. “Taya’s sister, don’t worry, the stakes won’t exceed ten million, I know my
limits.”
Pausing for a moment, Herb’s gaze shifted to Griffon, who was as steady as a rock. “Besides, with both
sides having a 50% chance of winning, how do you know Alpha will lose?”
This statement left Harper speechless. Griffon had an overwhelming presence and luck, who knows,
maybe he could draw the big joker and she wouldn’t have to say anything
anymore,

The others who had been eliminated felt a mix of excitement and worry, but Griffon remained calm and
raised his head.
“Let’s start.”
Seeing Griffon enter the game, Herb smiled and hurriedly collected the two cards on the table, wanting
to shuffle them
himself, but Preston snatched them away. “Let me do it.”
Herb was taken aback. “Let me do it instead.”

Herb became angry. “I didn’t shuffle the cards just now, so
how could I be cheating?”
Preston countered, “Even if you didn’t just now, you’re eager to
shuffle the cards now, isn’t that a clear sign of cheating?”
Herb’s hidden intentions were exposed, but he still insisted, “I’ll
shuffle them behind my back…”
Preston interrupted, “It doesn’t matter where you shuffle them, it’s useless.”
Herb retorted, “You…”
“Both of you, shut up!”

Johnny impatiently shouted, “Give it to the waiter.”
The waiter standing by was startled, “…”
He was about to say “I dare not,” when Preston forcefully
handed him the cards.
Trembling, the waiter took the cards from Preston, turned
around, and continuously swapped their positions before placing them back on the table.
