Leonard didn't realize it, but as he tried to defend himself, he got up from his seat and slowly retreated towards the door.Kane had received an order from Ethan not to let Leonard leave without apologizing.From the look of things, it didn't seem like Leonard had apologized beforehand, so Kane did what he knew best.Coincidentally, it happened at the exact time Leonard was making reference to Josiah Haworth. Hence, the latter part of his sentence where he mentioned Josiah's name came out muffled and inaudible.Claire walked closer to where Leonard lay on the ground, and ignoring his painful grunts, huffed, "You were saying?"Leonard glared at her as he got up. "Wh-what do you think you're doing? This is assault!"Claire folded her hands underneath her bosom and sneered."It is, but what exactly can you do about it? Call the wealthy people you work on their cars to come help you? I've never heard of wealthy families caring whether their mechanical lives or dies."Leonard gritted his

"Chloe, don't let this bother you too much. It's not your fault if anything happens to your father. He knew whose gambling den he was gambling in belonged to and still went ahead to gamble in it and even took out loans.""Your father had this coming."Chloe whipped out her phone to call the police as she said, "I should call the police. If dad owes Victor Voss money, then all we need to do is negotiate with Victor to give dad some time to pay his debt."Matilda snatched the phone from her and threw it to the ground, then stomped on it numerous times until it shattered to pieces. Then she raised her eyes to meet Chloe's."I just told you Victor Voss is a dangerous man. A man no sane person wants to get involved with, talk more of getting on his bad side.""Yes, the police may be helpful, but what do you think will happen to our family if Victor happens to have a man working with the police?""Your father won't be the only one dying. All of us here, including your daughter, will die too

"What? He lost $20,000 worth of chips to Bob the Robber?""What is he still doing sitting at that table? Bob will milk him dry before he knows it!""Who cares if Bob milks him? He walked into a gambling den to gamble, knowing fully well he knows nothing about gambling. He deserves whatever he's getting.""Right? My only regret is that I didn't see him come in. Otherwise, I'd be the one sitting across from him, not Bob. A pity that is."The small crowd that had surrounded Ethan and Bob the Robber's table chatted amongst themselves upon seeing Ethan lose his chips to his opponent.Ethan leaned back in the chair and watched the wistful smile on Bob's face as he stared at the glittering cold chips in front of him.He stared at it for a long time before shifting his eyes to Ethan, whom he found staring at him.It didn't surprise him that Ethan had his eyes pinned on him. He was just surprised he didn't see any contempt in his eyes.Any reasonable person who lost such an enormous amount of

"I swear I did nothing of that sort! I've been here the whole time, Mr. Garrett. I swear it!" The card dealer hurriedly replied, her voice trembling in fear as she spoke.Bran didn't release his grip on her immediately. He held her by the collar for a few more seconds and asked, "So you're trying to tell me he somehow managed to have such a wonderful hand?"The card dealer nodded vigorously, her eyes darting around the place in fear.Bran pushed her aside and turned his eyes back to Ethan who still had a composed look on his face and snorted in disdain."So you think I'll believe you didn't cheat, eh? Someone who lost to Bob the Robber ten consecutive times beat me on my first round with him.""You should've asked the dealer to hold on for a little longer so you could've effortlessly fooled everyone here."Ethan retorted unprovoked, "If I wanted to buy my wins, I would've paid all top ten gamblers here in advance to let me win.""Yes, you could've. Unless you wanted to make it look li

"Unlike poker, it'll take you a while to learn how to play Craps. Do you still want to continue playing, or should we get down to why you're here?" Victor Voss spoke up after several minutes went by with Ethan losing to him.Ethan, whose turn it was to roll the dice, paused and slowly juggled the dice in his palm."I was going to come to that. It's late already. Why don't you tell me how much my father-in-law owes you, and I'll pay off his debt in his place?"Victor met Ethan's eyes and chuckled in amusement. "Why do you think I lent 200 million dollars to a drunkard like Scott William?""Because he begged you for it," Ethan responded with a straight face.Victor leaned on the table and exhaled calmly."He did beg for it, but I don't just give loans to people because they beg. I give loans to people who I know will repay me when the time comes with the interest I told them it'd have.""From what I hear from my people, Scott William waa kicked out of his family recently, but even when
