***** The clever Williams had understood that what he was about to do here wouldn’t be that simple at all even before he got here. This became certain when he arrived and realized how overrun the place and surroundings were with gangsters. Therefore, he had discreetly messaged Marcus with his location and asked him to send him some armed individuals.However, Williams had never anticipated that it was people with firearms that would be dispatched to him.He had also been terrified half to death just now, and it was only after he recognized that the people causing this were his men did he eventually calmed down, and his nonchalant manner returned.Well… observing Williams at present, that was what people would assume. They wouldn’t know that his heart still hadn’t settled down at all from what he had almost just experienced.That's right.It was no longer because of the abrupt firing of guns, but rather, because his mind wouldn’t cease conjuring different images of himself being mu
***** It took over ten minutes before anyone could react to what Williams had just said, and then, for some reason, everybody forgot their fear and started muttering with profound shock to themselves. "He wants to shut down Fortune's palace?""This... this wouldn't be good, right?"“Why would he want to do something like this?”“Would this be a good thing?”“This… wouldn't be a death sentence for a lot of us who rely heavily on this place?”"I..." Irrespective of whether they were employees here or customers, everybody continued to mumble to themselves with so much astonishment that it was several times larger than when they had learned about Williams' purpose for visiting the gambling house. As for Manager Cold, he was the last person to react, then suddenly, he regained his courage from God knows where, and then he leaped to his feet. "You... you can't do that! How dare you say you want to shut down Fortune's Palace? Are you not afraid of causing a great issue for yourself?" "
*****Hearing the overweight man’s accusation, Williams’ eyes suddenly turned icy, and then his lips curled at one end.He chuckled coldly, appearing unfazed by the overweight man. It was as though the accusation was already in his consideration.Williams was about to ridicule the man who still rejected the reality when suddenly, (boom!!!) A gunshot resounded in the place, nearly deafening everyone.No one could respond for a brief moment, yet it was as if the world was collapsing in the next instance, as they all screamed fearfully and quickly dropped to their chests in the following second.They were utterly terrified, and some individuals even immediately wet their pants once again.“I’ve been shut dead!!!”“Boohoo!”They began to cry fearfully.The most frightened person at the moment was Manager Cold.Unlike everyone else who swiftly reacted and fell to their chests, Manager Cold was too petrified to react once again and could only shiver hysterically in his seat.His face turned
***** It was finally Williams’ turn after the result of Manager Cold was announced. However, unlike Manager Cold, who was exceedingly swift and fast while shaking his cup of dice, making it seem extremely special, Williams was so leisurely that even those with just a slight inkling about this game were able to predict every combination in the cup. Everyone was struck dumb, witnessing this.It didn't end there, their speechlessness magnified significantly when they saw Williams placing down the cup after merely shaking it three times. “Was he... was he done already? Just... just like that?” “This… he must have only been testing his hands just now, right?”“I almost thought that was the extent of the speed his hands could reach.”Everybody was relieved, but upon realizing that Willians was really done, nobody, not even Manager Cold could control their astonishment for a moment, then Manager Cold grinned joyfully, his massive courage returning with full force. “The combination of t
***** “Elder Brother Williams must surely be a deity! I cannot accept that he is an ordinary person.” “Shut your mouth and remain kneeling on the floor, you brat!!” “But… but do you know how extraordinary Older Brother Williams had appeared at the gambling house? He had resembled an immortal governing the mortal world, delivering his verdict and dictating mortals’ fates at his whim. I aspire to be like older brother Williams.” “You… you wish to be like Boss? You who just returned from losing our parents' house to a gamble?” “I… but it was only due to someone deceiving me, claiming I could earn easy money to assist my family and make us the envy of the community.” Inside Laura’s residence, unlike before, only one person kneeled while three others stood before him with repulsion and intense fury, but the kneeling person seemed unconcerned. No, he didn’t even care. He was completely lost in his recollection of Williams’ demeanor and strength at this moment. These people were Laura
*****As for Williams who has no insight about anything.He hurried to his residence after departing from Laura’s place, then without wasting any moment, he got dressed before rushing back into his supercar and pressing forcefully on the pedals, zooming out and into the street.Hoping silently in his mind that nothing unfavorable would occur before he got to his destination, or else, he would fail the quest he was very confident that he was on the brink of accomplishing.Poor Williams, he had never anticipated that he’d be this delayed at all, but what could he do?However, although Williams was in a rush right now, he didn’t overlook the most crucial thing to him.‘Hey system, are you going to trick me of my reward and have it for yourself? Haven't I completed the quest you gave me yet?”The system, “_”[What does this system need the host’s reward for?]‘Who knows?’ Williams grumbled in his mind before suddenly grinning. ‘Can I get my compensation now?’[Of course, host.][Congratul
*****“Do you realize that this is perhaps the over 1000th time your phone has been ringing since we left home, why have you been declining to connect it?”Inside a moving high-end vehicle, four individuals were seated. The driver who was in a black chauffeur suit and a young man beside him who was wearing an extravagant blue tuxedo and appeared rather refined tonight than he had ever been in his life sat at the front.At the back sat a couple who were also stylishly dressed in lavish attire.The young man beside the driver and the couple at the back resemble masters of a strong prominent family right now, particularly in what they were wearing and the high arrogance emanating from them.However, the moment the woman beside the middle-aged man, a plump and extremely arrogant-looking woman spoke, a dense atmosphere shot out of her and filled the air within the car.Nevertheless, the man beside the woman appeared not to care much.“It’s one of my subordinates,” he said casually. However
*****As Grace was the official coordinator of the banquet, she must be present at the event and ensure that everything was operating flawlessly.She must also organize the person to greet the guests; however, since she didn’t want to be inside the banquet hall for the time being, she decided to welcome the guests herself, and that was what she has been doing for a while now.Observing her at the moment, she was in a lovely and gorgeous evening gown, making her truly resemble a goddess on earth.Although she appeared fatigued at the moment, that didn't diminish her extraordinarily beautiful appearance in any way; instead, it kind of added a sauce to her, making her even more attractive and cute in another way.At the entrance of the hall, beside Grace also stood a man in a black suit with black shades on his face, who appeared stoic, resembling a bodyguard; this person was Marcus who was taking Williams’ place as Grace’s bodyguard.Actually, this was one of the reasons why Williams ha
