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
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
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
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
