Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 102
Chapter 102 On the fifteenth day, it started looking grim for him. When Zeke lost all the money he had, Andrew noticed the look on Zeke's face. It was a quite familiar look, as he had seen this facial expression as he had seen it countless times in the casino. It was a look of total helplessness. A look of a man who had given up or was about to give up and did not have anything again in life. Working in a casino had made Andrew quite familiar with this look, and once he saw this look on Zeke, he pounced. It was time for him to get to the real work. Now they could get on to the next step as Zeke did not have any money again. Andrew went up to Zeke who he had been observing for quite a while. He was going to play the devil's advocate. It was showtime. “Mr Zeke, I can see that you seem to be having some problems with staking. There's a solution I can throw your way if you don't mind,” Andrew said. Zeke had been lost in his thoughts. Thinking of how to tell pe
Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 103
Chapter 103 The casino owner and Andrew were going according to the plan. They knew better than not to. The threat of being killed or their family being killed loomed over their heads. Clement had made it abundantly clear that at the point where Zeke agreed to use his assets to play the game, they could not allow him to play that same night. They were to try playing nice to him that night. Zeke would be told to go home and rest for one night and he should come back the next day after thinking about it deeply. And that was exactly how it went, when they had both agreed on how to exchange documents for Zeke's assets, the casino owner had asked him not to play that same night. He should go home and sleep on it, and if he was still willing to play, he could come back the next day and he would be able to then. Now, this was the point that showed what a crazy person Clement was. He had studied Zeke to a very crazy extent. As the information they got on Zeke wa

Chapter 104 Though Andrew was really happy, he tried to cover it up. He had to maintain a normal facial expression for the next step. He quickly went to meet Zeke at the entrance. This had been the usual routine for the past few weeks. Zeke was a very important client of the Casino, so he was treated really well. Anyone who could spend as much as Zeke was spending at the casino would also be given such preferential treatment, so it was nothing surprising to Zeke. Zeke was also used to this by now, he waited at the entrance everyday. Today, he took a deep breath because today was going to be serious. It would be way different from the other days he had come here. He knew Andrew must have already known he was at the casino, and he would be on his way to meet him at the moment. Zeke just used those few seconds to look around the casino. If not for the huge losses he had incurred these last weeks, he was basically living his dream. This was mostly how he had a

Chapter 105 The games started. Slowly and surely, Zeke had started losing again. But because he was so used to spending his own money, he did not notice until it was almost too late. He had been losing for most of the night, but he thought it was his money he was spending. So, he kept spending it, and losing. All with the hope of winning the next game. A gambler's mentality was crazy. They won and lost of course. But, when they start losing, there's always something inside them that keeps on telling them to keep playing. Now, this thing was talking to Zeke. Telling him that he would soon start winning. Winning of course would not start until they played the next game. This was always their motivation. It was the only thing that pushed gamblers to keep playing even after losing for so long. Now, it was pushing Zeke, and it kept on pushing him till the end. It was a really disgusting mentality. This thing was the one that had kept pushing Zeke on through the nig

Chapter 106 Zeke sighed. He was going to win this time, he told himself. He had to. “Take me to your boss's office,” he said to Andrew. This decision was him cementing his future downfall, he did not know. It was him selling his soul. Andrew turned around once again to lead Zeke to his boss's office. This was the last step, he thought as he laughed in his mind. Once Zeke pawned off his last assets, then the plan would be completed. Andrew led Zeke to the office with a gentle smile plastered on his face. He was side by side with Zeke by now. Just directing him with the same smile on his face. Zeke just looked at him with irritation. He was disgusted at Andrew, but mostly at himself, but he was not going to admit that right now.However, it was as if Andrew could not see this. He just kept on smiling. He blamed Andrew, but he mostly blamed himself for being in this situation. After all, he was not led to the casino, he walked in on his own choice. Now, he was

Chapter 107 It was a back and forth argument, which finally led to an agreement between both of them. The casino owner smiled at Zeke. “Alright Mr Zeke, you drive a hard bargain. I'll pay you the amount we agreed on,” he said. The casino owner shifted his chair to the back and bent down. He slowly pressed something on his desk that brought the locked form of a safe out. He pressed the required password and it opened up. Though Andrew and Zeke could not see what was inside, they could guess, after all they were not stupid. The only reason a safe would be in his boss's office was to keep valuable things safe, and judging from how big his desk was, the safe would also be that big, or at least almost as big. The casino owner slowly rummaged inside the safe and slowly started counting a pile of money. Even so, he still did not bring out the money until he had finished counting it. He handed the money over to Zeke and stood up. “It's always a pleasure doing business
Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 108
Chapter 108 Even Clement had not anticipated this. Though he knew that Zeke must have been rich, he never expected him to be that rich. So, it was the young man that explained this to Clement. The Krafth company paid its workers really handsomely. Especially those in high positions. This has been known by everyone in Lagos over the years. But, they did not know how much exactly was meant by being paid much, and this was the first time Clement learnt it was a lot. Based on what he had concluded, Zeke should have finished all he had on the seventh or eighth day, now it was the twelfth day, and he had just finished everything he had. Clement had started thinking about it, but he quickly shelved that thought. At least this highly paid worker would be his slave in the nearest future, and he would use him any way he wanted to. This did not stop the young man from calling the casino owner though. Because, when he was explaining to Clement, he had seen a look of dista
Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 109
Chapter 109 This did not stop the current players from recognizing him though. He had become a legend in the casino due to how he was always staking high, with almost impossible amounts. When Zeke had broken the record of the highest amount ever placed on a game at the casino, .kst of them at the table presently with him, were also there that day. The rest that were not there on that day still knew about it. They had been informed by the other players that they had made friends in the casino. So, it was quite understandable when they welcomed him into the game. They knew there was a possibility of them winning too, and winning against someone that rich simply meant they would be winning a lot. They allowed Zeke to join their game. Zeke sat down, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After being Hammond Krafth’s bodyguards over the years, and facing so many crazy and nerve wracking situations, this was the craziest he had been in since then. Zeke had be

Chapter 148
Chapter 148 Marcus looked at Belle. She was trying to hide her curiosity under her gaze but was it doing that good of a job. Marcus understood that she did not want to ask Kevin present, just in case there was something Marcus did not want him to hear. “It's alright Belle. Kevin is my lawyer and he's going to be the one representing me in my divorce case, that is happening today, and it is where I need to be first.” “How about I drop you off at work and we go on to the court and we would meet you back at the office when we are done?" Marcus asked. Deep down, he knew Belle would not choose to do this, instead she would want to follow him for support or whatever else she deemed appropriate, but she still needed to ask. “Young master, I'd like to go with you to the court, and from there we can go on to the factory when the case is over at the court,” Belle said. Marcus was right. He knew for sure this was what she would say, and he was in no mood to argue with anyon

Chapter 147
Chapter 147 Marcus slowly drifted off to sleep, after thinking about the next day for a while. His room had a soundtrack of crashing waves that had been installed since they built the hotel. When Marcus found it some weeks ago, he had started using it, and it worked really well for him. Before, Marcus had found it quite hard to sleep off, but with the soundtrack of crashing waves sounding, he found it easy to sleep, and that was what he had started doing. Marcus slept off before he knew it. The day had not been as long as it normally was, but he needed that extra rest for tomorrow, and he was not feeling too hungry before he slept, so he just chose to go ahead to sleep. The clock in his room’s slow and consistent tick was the only reminder that time was passing really fast. The blinds in Marcus's room were so thick that it blocked off the light even during the day, not to even talk about the night. After a while, Marcus had woken up. He picked up the remote on the

Chapter 146
Chapter 146 Marcus had just laid on his bed for a while,and had slowly started to drift off when his phone rang. He rolled his eyes in the dim lights of the room, as he moved and his shadow long and dark moved along with him. It was a mesmerizing sight for anyone who could see it. It was just that no one would have the pleasure of doing that. But that was not what was on Marcus's mind. He rolled over to the end of the bed where he had dropped the phone, picked it up and looked at the name of the person calling his phone. It was Luiz. It seemed like he had completed his task, Marcus thought. He hoped Luiz had not done too much and gotten caught. Because if he had, he would have made Dominic aware of the fact that they already knew he was a spy. The task he had given Luiz was fairly easy. He had been asked to follow Dominic from far off and not make him aware he was being followed. The key thing they needed to know was where he lived and ascertaining the presence of

Chapter 145
Chapter 145 Marcus told them that he had a friend that was going to be staying in the hotel too. Kevin peeked from the back of Marcus and greeted the two ladies, to which both of them bowed their heads slightly. Being respectful to Marcus because of his identity also meant that they had to be respectful to his friends. Especially this kind of one that he brought to stay in the hotel with him. Mel and her partner nodded their heads. They knew what to do. So, they prepared a suite just like the one Belle was still staying in. It was the topmost grade of suite in the hotel, and only reserved for the most extremely famous people. Even if you had the money, you would not necessarily be able to get into this kind of suite in the hotel. It also had a limited amount, so it got quickly exhausted. Though Kevin was not really famous, but, since he was recommended by Marcus, the receptionists knew to give him the best type of suite they had. They promised to prepare one for h

Chapter 144
Chapter 144 He had never mentioned anything about his father,and his friends did not ask either. Now, Dominic was back inside his house and he could not hear any sound at all. Not from his mother or even from his sister who would reasonably be loud due to the fact that her brother had gotten back from work, even when it was this late. But nothing of the sort seemed to happen. It was just silence throughout. Luiz was however satisfied with himself. His job in following Dominic was to find out where he lived. This was what Marcus had asked him to do. He did not want to be seen as doing too much, in case he got caught. Beaming with satisfaction, and after waiting for over ten minutes, he started walking back to where he had parked his car. Luiiz was walking in places where the light was not too bright. He did not want to take a game of risk regarding people in the community. He did not want them to be suspicious since they had not seen him in their neighborhood well. T

Chapter 143
Chapter 143 However, it was just the paranoia. It made his behavioral pattern compulsory.Dominic could not take any chance. He still wanted to see his family. He hoped they would not be killed, and the only way for him to preserve their life was to do what was asked of him and not be caught. Immediately he was caught, he would be useless to the people that were using him and they would not allow his family to leave since they also were of no use to them. Dominic understood this, but this was still not something he could bear. Luiz had started getting quite impatient as Dominic had kept on stopping, and now this was their fifth stop, after going round this same neighborhood for the third time. He wanted to drive away or maybe even drive up to Dominic and ask to go to his house. But this was not the sensible thing to do. It would ruin the plan Marcus had made and would literally just be counterproductive. This was not something Luiz wanted to see happen. So,

Chapter 142
Chapter 142 However, even when he was accosted by Burn, Dominic did not want to head in the same route as his boss and the people around him. It would not be a good thing for him, if he was caught that night and they started asking questions that might lead to him confessing. He had tried to time himself exactly well, this was why he had decided to go with Burn, to the place he had always parked before. When Burn asked him the question, he quickly feigned as if he forgot where he now parked and blamed it on forgetfulness. Burn's car was parked at the farthest side of the park, and by the time Dominic had started walking back to the place he parked his car, Burn had started his car and was already driving towards him and then outside. So, he had chosen to go with his friend Burn for now, and when both Marcus and Burn's car had left the park, he would go to get his car. He also looked around and saw two cars drive outside the factory. One of them looked like Espino

Chapter 141
Chapter 141 Dominic took in a deep breath and exhaled. It seemed like no one had noticed him. What he did jot know however, was that Belle had noticed him, and not only Belle, in fact Marcus had noticed him. But, Marcus was really smart and sharp. Immediately he noticed it, he was sure of what he had seen, so he quickly took his eyes off him. He did not want to spook him off, so he just looked elsewhere. It was quite lucky that Dominic was more concerned with himself at the point where Marcus was looking at his expressions,so he didn't see Marcus looking at him. In fact, he believed that nobody else saw his reaction. Marcus had come to a conclusion deep down after this issue. He was now fully sure about what the unknown spy had told them. Marcus has been keeping the information the spy gave them at arm length. Even though he wanted to believe it fully, it was not that simple. What if the person was pretending to help them, and instead use this opportunity to infi

Chapter 140
Chapter 140 Marcus did not know exactly why, but he felt safe around Kevin. It felt like Kevin was a guy he could confide in, and that was exactly what he did. He told him a lot of things he would not have otherwise told someone he was just meeting. Marcus told him about the bombing that had happened in the factory. He told him about the clues he had found, and about the person that seemed to be helping them from the inside of Oscorp. Though they did not know who exactly the person was, he was helping them regardless, and everything he had clued them on, had happened exactly how he had said it would. Marcus shared a lot of things with Kevin, and they talked till the end of the day. They did not know when time flew away and it was time to go home. It was after this discovery that they both stood up and went out of his office. Of course Belle was ready to leave. She on the other hand had been curious through the day, and had monitored the time through the day, wai
