The Hero

Chapter 216 Let's Play a Small Game

On the other hand, when Javier told Ciara that he was so busy with work that he couldn't celebrate Christmas at home, he didn't mean it.

Actually, he had never celebrated it before.

Meanwhile, Jade can understand that Javier never thought of celebrating something like this. All he asks is for him to stay by Javier's side.

They had never celebrated Christmas before. However, they stayed in the office until late at night, so they ended up getting something to eat on the way home. As they were eating, Sam Langdon called Javier.

“Where are you, Mr Kersey? There is something I want to ask for your help ”

'It's late at night. What kind of help might he need?'

Without reading too much into the matter, Javier gives Sam his address. After hanging up the phone, she continued her dinner with Jade.

However, while the two of them were eating and chatting, a 20-year-old youth walked over and brought a chair with him.

Then, he instantly sat between Javier and Jade as if they were old friends.

Hehe, don't mind me, guys. My name is Channing. I just had dinner with some friends there. We drank a little, and I went too far and said that I could hold your wife's hand just to show off in front of them.

But don't worry, I'll just hold your wife's hand. I promise I won't do anything out of bounds.

It was mainly because I just had to exaggerate my own ego. I've noticed how beautiful your wife is, so I'm sure my friends would be amazed at me if I really held her hand.

"actuallys. It's not a big deal. I'll just hold her hand and then go see my friends. Your wife should shake someone's hand when she meets new people too, right? I'm sure you can say that I'm not a bad guy based on my looks, so.. You don't mind, do you?"

Javier laughed inside. This was the first time he had come across someone openly digging his own grave.

Plus, he had dug it up in a rather innovative way!

Javier then told the young man, “I'm a petty person, my friend. I'd really mind if you did. What do you think I should do?”

“Err..”.

Channing thought about it for a moment before she turned to Jade. "Do you mind Miss?"

Jade did not even turn her head to look at Channing and continued to eat her food. It was clear that he strongly objected. In fact, he did not even plan to pay attention to it.

Of course, Channing also understood what was going on, so she reached into her pocket and placed a card on the table.

It was a UnionPay card, one of the top 4 card issuers in the world. Channing gently tapped on the card as she said, “I'm not trying to show off my wealth, friends. I just want to affirm. There are 150,000 dollars on this card, so if you allow me to hold his hand, I...”.

At that time, Javier asked excitedly, “Will you give all 150,000 dollars to me!”

Channing was stunned for a few seconds before she regained consciousness, “Come, man Horn, can you hold a hand that expensive? I just want to hold her hand, you're asking for 150,000 dollars in return? Is his hand the hand of God?!”

Javier was very disappointed as he muttered, "I think you're going to give it all to me, so how much are you going to give me?"

Channing pondered it for a moment and raised her 8 fingers, Javier thought about it for a moment and said, “80,000 dollars?! That's great too!”

Channing's eyes widened.

"Are you serious? Holding hands for 80,000 dollars? What's going on in your head?”

Javier raised an eyebrow.

"8,000 dollars?"

Channing waved her hand once more and gave her final answer.

“80 dollar.”

Javier could not say anything and turned to look at Jade.

“Did you hear that? He wants to hold your hand for 80 dollars.”

Jade replied with "Oh" and took a dime out of her wallet. He then placed it in front of Javier.

Then, before Channing's astonished expression, Javier and Jade kissed on the table, causing Channing who was sitting next to them to feel stunned and speechless.

When the kiss was over, Channing asked, "May I buy a kiss from you for 8 bucks?"

Jade scoffed mockingly and asked, “Honey, are you full? If yes, let's go!”

Javier replies, "I'm full, but Sam says he's on his way now, so let's wait a minute!"

Jade then remembered that Sam did call them a moment ago, so she put down her wallet and sat down once again.

Feeling neglected, Channing tried to show her presence by saying, “Alright, just kidding. Will you help me by letting me hold your wife's hand and walk over to my friends again? I've told my friends that I'm going to do it, so if I go back there now I'll be embarrassed!

Javier replied, “Then you have to take that chair with you and go back to your friend. After all, you came empty-handed.”

Channing was a little embarrassed to hear that comment.

“That's a rather rude thing to say, my friend. I've spoken well to you all along, so don't force me to change it".

Javier chuckled as he looked at Channing.

"really now? You will change your attitude in this place. I've never seen someone do it before, so how about you show it to me"?

Channing is now a little frustrated.

However, he knew that Javier was not the one who would cower in fear because of such a thing, which was why he did not dare to take action.

Instead, he looked at Jade and said, “Nona, I'm officially asking for your help. I hope you will be my girlfriend on this beautiful Christmas Eve. I promise I'll definitely make you 100 times happier than you are now.

“As you know, I come from a rich family. However, I have my own life goals that I am working on, and I am working hard to achieve them. I hope you'll give me a chance and won't miss the chance to be happy".

Channing looked very serious, but Jade acted the opposite. In fact, the answer is even worse. I just sneered.

Channing gets the impression that Jade thinks she's lying, so she pulls out her phone and opens her bank account. “See, I actually have 150,000 dollars on this card. I didn't lie to you. More specifically, it costs 148,000 dollars.”

As he spoke, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open and Sam walked in. When she sees Channing, she begins to wonder where this unknown fool came from. However, when he saw Javier, he did not dare to go on the air.

Soon, he asked, “Master. Kersey, may I ask who this is?"

Javier chuckles and introduces them. "He's here to steal Mrs Kersey from me and make her his girlfriend for 150,000 dollars."

Sam immediately became furious.

"And here I wonder who this man is and why he dared to sit next to you."

Then, Sam waved his hand towards the glass door outside and someone immediately brought a suitcase inside. The chart looks rather heavy and is about 6 feet tall. In fact, the man carrying her looked rather tired.

Then, Sam pushed Channing out of her chair and immediately put the luggage on it.

When he opened it, Sam told Channing, "You're pretty rich, aren't you?"

Channing coldly sneered, "At least richer than you!"

Sam chuckled and looked at him like he was a fool. "Good! I like a fool like you who has peas for his brain. Now you open this suitcase yourself, about 600,000 dollars maybe!”

Channing was slightly stunned, but was mostly filled with disbelief. Therefore, he opened the suitcase and looked at everything, thinking there would be sheets of paper inside.

However, after rummaging through it for a moment, he was surprised to find that the entire contents were cold and hard cash!

'This guy is crazy! Why would he bring so much money on a late night like this?!'

However, Channing clearly underestimated how crazy these people were, especially Javier.

Javier lit a cigarette and said, “Don't you say you're very rich? All right, I'll play rock, paper, scissors with you, the simplest game known to man. If you win, all the money you see here will be yours. If you lose, I take the 150,000 you have.

“What do you think, my friend? How about we play a little game?”
