My American magical life
Chapter 822 - 822 43 The King's Game 3_4

822: Chapter 43: The King’s Game 3_4 822: Chapter 43: The King’s Game 3_4 Eris had played with cryptocurrencies before and had lost a fair share, but he still had some understanding of it.

“If you ask me, it has to be Ethereum and Bitcoin, only those two are solid, BEC, not even dogs would buy it!”

“So, how much did you lose?” Domo topped up Eris’s glass as he asked.

“Forty million, damn it, super painful!”

After Eris spoke, he noticed Domo was looking at him with an embarrassed expression.

Bad!

Last time I just said I earned enough for a car, and now I’m saying I lost forty million.

Obviously, one of them is a lie, so…

“Hahaha, lost four million, yeah, that’s no small amount.

Ah, it doesn’t matter, just avoid touching cryptocurrencies from now on.”

What does “put on a pig’s face, but have a clear mind” mean?

The two ‘brothers’ on the surface clinked their glasses again, yet Eris’s phone rang, and Domo noticed the name on the caller ID.

“Chan.”

Eris hurriedly picked up the phone ready to answer, and by some fluke, he glanced at Domo, seeing the chubby ‘son’ quietly staring at him.

He felt a bit unscrupulous for duping the chubby ‘son’.

Truthfully, Domo was a good person, the only one among a bunch of beasts.

Eris hesitated for a moment, turned on the speakerphone, and answered the call.

The once dream-chasing boy of the West Coast is now a far cry from the past.

He is now just a humble worker in Cheng Daqi’s ‘company’, where he needs an ‘ally’—not necessarily a powerful one, but at least someone; going it alone doesn’t work.

Domo understood and silently poured another glass of wine for Eris.

What can he do?

Eris showed sincerity, the chubby ‘son’ could only choose to forgive.

The Crusoe Family joined Boss Cheng’s little camp, but the beasts in the camp are all inhuman one way or another.

Wolf has too big a presence and, together with old Crusoe, is a direct competitor for position.

Father and son analyzed for a long time the intention behind Cheng Daqi dragging them into the game, realizing that they must not get too close to Wolf, or they would lose their value.

Gru, well, with that annoying, beast-like appearance, does he look like someone you can trust?

Picking and choosing, old Crusoe and the chubby ‘son’ had no choice but to get a bit closer to Eris, who they used to look down upon and somewhat feared.

Initially, old Crusoe thought Eris was an idiot, using him as a scapegoat to tap into MAGA resources without contributing anything.

Domo even warned Boss Cheng to be careful of this ‘Poisonous Snake’.

Now, well, let’s just say fate is too unpredictable and too merciless, not swayed by any man’s will.

“Eris, I’ve deposited thirty million into your Bahamas account.

You lost a lot today, but this sum should cover your losses.

This round of cashing out, I’m disbursing funds post factum based on your shares, to prevent the news from leaking out beforehand and people hitching a free ride.

Don’t worry about the unrealized losses on the account.

You didn’t invest a dime in the beginning, right?

By the way, I actually gave a bit extra with the thirty million, consider it as your operational funds.

I won’t have my people spend their own money on work-related tasks.

Put a little heart into the things I’ve entrusted you with.

Also, send Chen Zihao’s family to the Bahamas to reassure him, can you handle that?”

Cheng Daqi didn’t wait for a reply and hung up; he believed Eris wouldn’t screw up such a minor matter.

But on this end of the phone, Eris was embarrassed, and the chubby ‘son’ was even more silent.

Well, look at you, Eris, you said last time you made enough for a car.

Tell me, what kind of car on earth is worth several tens of millions of Dollars?

The fraternal bond on the surface plummeted towards the brink of a breakup after Boss Cheng’s call.

Eris took a deep breath and internally cursed Cao Dan’s world, then said with a wry smile.

“You heard it too, I didn’t know anything.

He didn’t even signal me when cashing out.

Sounds like he didn’t alert Gru either…”

To be honest, Eris felt like a clown, no, extremely clownish.

Before, thinking that Cheng Daqi lost even more, he felt secretly thrilled.

But what about now?

Actually, he also bought quite a bit extra on the side with the ‘reward’ allocation from Cheng Daqi, which all got liquidated this time.

That’s why there’s the difference between the forty million and the thirty million.

If it were someone else, they might think it’s just a coincidence.

But Eris’s thought was that Cheng Daqi launching a surprise sell-off without informing anyone carried a bit of ‘malice’.

The result now is that Cheng gave the money, but Eris still lost.

Why?

Because she secretly bought a lot more behind Cheng’s back.

The more Eris thinks about it, the more bitter she feels in her heart.

How can you be so calculating?

“Good thing there’s no loss, so you and Gru both joined BEC?

Don’t tell me you guys also…”

Faced with Domo’s probing, Eris nodded in response.

Even though things have become this awkward, she still wanted to maintain a certain level of trust and understanding with the father and son of the Crusoe Family.

The two of them are the weakest forces in Cheng’s power circle, which is a natural basis for cooperation.

“It’s hard to say about this matter, but you guessed right.

Still, I lost over ten million.

Sigh.”

The chubby young master offered his consolation.

“You can’t look at it that way, paper gains aren’t actual gains.

Didn’t Cheng still give you thirty million?

Come on, drink.”

Eris truly felt bitter in her heart, the kind of bitter that grows the more you think about it.

A whole forty million!

Cheng, did you do this on purpose?

Yes, it must have been!

Birth, isn’t this just a pure birth!

(Note: This line may contain a typo or an obscure reference that doesn’t translate directly into English.

As written, it doesn’t make sense in either language.

It may have meant to imply something being straightforward or naive, akin to the English phrase “innocent birth.”)

“Domo, your family didn’t invest money in BEC, and you don’t get a cut this time, that’s not fair.

You can go ask Cheng and have him give you some hints about how BEC will move forward, and we can buy in together next time.”

Why stick together if not for this moment!

The same matter, it’s completely different whether Eris asks or Domo asks.

“I’m too scared to touch it now, this time I lost eight hundred thousand dollars, it’s too much,” the chubby young master said troubledly.

Eris cursed in his heart.

I lose forty million and you tell me it’s fine because I gained, but you lose eight hundred thousand and you say it’s too much.

Are you doing this on purpose too?

The bad luck loser who’s desperate sees nobody in a good light; the chubby young master was startled by Eris’s look, even thinking he might have suddenly contracted rabies.

“Fine then, I’ll go ask, but it’ll take a few days.”

The chubby young master changed his mind, deciding to show a bit more sincerity.

The friendship between these two started off with a bit of awkwardness.

Bullshit, it’s so cramped in prison, being stuck butt to butt every day, eating and shitting together, how could it not be awkward?

But even so, the two of them still ended up together, why?

Because Cheng is too clever!

Under a clever leader, you have to stick together, of course, sticking too close isn’t good, and sticking with the wrong person is even worse.

“Sigh, I know a good club, the chicks there are especially hot, it’s just too boring going there alone.

You just came today, how about it?”

Eris Duo, a man about town, he used to rely on dealing with all sorts of trouble to make a living, so he understands, the misunderstanding that arose tonight between the two due to various accidents must be resolved tonight!

What to do?

We’re all men, so let’s go to the ladies together!

This is popular in America, Gru had to accompany Geweil a lot to be accepted by the California Clique.

“Ah?

Mr.

Eris, this, I just recently got engaged.”

“Indulging?

Great, I’ll take you to really indulge tonight!”
