Chapter 299: Ten million
"Very well, if you insist." Remo admitted. Using the support of his cane, he got to his feet in the fluid manner, towering easily over the bum statuesque of the bastard. After he’d taken a thoroughly scrutinizing look at him, he rolled his eyes away and began to head out of the Casino. However, just as he was about to take his next step, Nolan halted him with a vice-like clutch on his wrist, preventing him from making any further move.
The moment the guards noticed his hand, one of them lurched forward, about to counter his daring act with a fist in his side, but Remo halted him indefinitely, holding up his palm as he beheld Nolan with a cunning expression.
"Where do you think you’re going?" Nolan demanded firmly.
"To get your win, of course. Why do you ask?" Remo replied with great care in his words as he was already losing his calm. The fact that the bastard still stood after doing more than the average man could not get away with, was a blow to his reputation, but he held on, anticipating the moment that he’d pay back every shitty hand that the fool had dealt him.
"You expect me to believe that?" Nolan countered fiercely, his grip on his wrist increasing. "You know, I knew it was a bluff when you said Ten Million, but I was willing to give it a shot because, you know, you looked capable, but this just shows how cunning your kind are."

"And what is my kind?" Remo asked in a chilly tone, barely containing his rage in the seething effect that escaped his voice.
"Ah! gentlemen!"
