*****“The mission should have become successful, right?”Seated in front of his tutor, who had just been assigned to teach him on the way to becoming a patriarch that morning, Greg, who hadn’t paid any attention to whatever the person had been saying mumbled to himself again and then checked his phone for the umpteenth time that day.Seeing this, the tutor, a scholarly-looking old man couldn’t help but sigh internally, mourning on behalf of the Dunnam family for choosing a person like Greg as its next patriarch.‘Although he had the strength and given time, he’d become one of the strongest people in the country, his countenance and behavior, however, did not befit that of a patriarch and he is only meant to follow command, not lead,’ the old man concluded in his mind, but since it wasn’t his place to make such a comment, especially now that the family had just lost all it’s remaining prospective future patriarch, the old man refrained and continued his teaching, despite knowing t
*****“Young master, that’s right, this place is really a casino house, however, it is mere one of the most popularly known and used casino houses here in the capital city and not really the best.” “Oh…” Williams was amazed. Instead of being called a casino house, the place where himself and the old man were seeing right now should be called a massive plaza, given how enormous it is. It covered a large mass of land with a massive building erected on it, and unlike The Fortune’s Palace that he had once visited, which was exactly as a gambling house should be, with gangsters filling and surrounding it, this place was nothing like that. In fact, it felt more like a tourist center, or rather, a park, that has more than a thousand people filling it. “Is it always full like this or it was because of the event going on in the city?” “Young master, it was because of the event going on in the city. Although it was always full, I’ve never seen it this full.” “Oh…” Williams nodded his he
*****Hearing what the person beside him had just uttered pitifully with an emotional sigh, Williams was greatly confused, and then he looked back at the man who was being dragged away and presently doing everything he could to get himself free from the bouncers while sobbing bitterly and yelling at the top of his lungs, looking incredibly pitiful.It did not take long, though for Williams to understood what happened to the man. His case wasn’t that different from that of Old Man Gaza, whose family Williams was here to save and why he had received the quest he was here to complete.In this middle-aged man’s case, his best friend was the one who had betrayed him, scheming against him and then enticing him with massive wealth, making him gamble. In other word, his greed and trusting the wrong person was what led to his downfall Poor him; he soon lost every single thing he had ever had in his name. His dress as well, and he was only left with his underwear now. “I curse you to death!
***** Inside the expansive casino establishment, there was an exclusive VIP hall. This designated area was commonly and only used for high-stakes gambling competitions involving affluent and influential individuals. Although the hall wasn’t particularly big, it was fully furnished with beautiful and expensive furniture, and it appeared like the lounge of an exceptionally wealthy billionaire who is utterly invested in beautifying it with only premium and quality items. This wasn’t all; there were various beautiful ladies, who were dressed in all sorts of revealing pieces of clothing standing around, with each person holding a bottle of premium wine in case they were ever called. Looking at this hall right now, which was demarcated in two from the middle with see-through-glasses, creating a path between, its beauty wasn’t showing in the atmosphere. The faces of the people sitting on the right side were extremely pale, and their hearts were very heavy as they gazed at their fr
***** “How many times do I want to tell you people to stop causing scenes after you lose woefully, despite being given the chance in the first place?” The old man’s voice was extremely calm, composed, but freezing cold Everybody in the hall trembled at the sound, then subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man, who had already fainted, probably due to the fist he just suffered or all the properties he just lost. In the audience’s gaze, they saw two bouncer’s-like men emotionlessly approaching and then carelessly lifting the already fainted man up and then carelessly dragging him away like they do to his predecessors. Everybody took a cold, long breath, and once again, a deep fear filled the people who were sitting on the right side of the hall, while the people sitting on the left side became even more excited. “I… I wish to withdraw!!!” A middle-aged man, who was sitting on the right, abruptly shot to his feet and cried out. The place went quiet for a second, but then
*****“So, with how busy I am, you are going to waste my time and keep me waiting? What the gall!!!”“I… I...”Old Man Gaza was scared badly, feeling the unhidden rage in the sudden roar, while he sobbed bitterly in his mind. ‘Young master, please where are you?! I’m about to lose my family forever, please arrive!!!’He prayed fervently with his heart. But just then, the emotionless voice of the God of Gambling echoed, lacking the rage and loudness with which it had echoed just now. “You already know the rule.”He gazed emotionlessly at Old Man Gaza, pausing slightly before he continued.“It’s either you play this game against me by yourself or give up and lose this game if you have nobody that would play on your behalf.”As soon as the god of gambling finished his words, the hall became completely silent, with only the sounds of breathing and hearts beating echoing. This silence, however only lasted for a few seconds before…“Old fool, you are going to lose in the end,
*****Gazing dumbly at Williams, who had just entered, everybody was dumbstruck at this moment, wondering where he had originated from.“Who’s that little brat?! How dare he stop the action that was about to be performed by the God of Gambling?”“Where did that little fool come from?”“Did he seriously just do one of the things that the god of gambling hates the most?”“How could this little fool be so insensitive? He is definitely also going to suffer the God of Gambling’s wrath today.”Most of the people who were sitting on the left side of the hall began to glare at Williams after a moment, furious that he had disrupted the bloody scenes they had been awaiting, which they understood would have completely ruined the spirits of their opponents.As for Old Man Gaza…It took him a tad bit longer than the audience to return to his senses and it took him even more time to finally manage to open his mouth.“Young master!!”The old man abruptly trembled hard and then sobbed, with
*****“This…”The entire hall was dipped in a deafening silence once again after Williams’ sudden lecturing words, with everybody gaping at him with the greatest disbelief of all time.Nobody could react, not even the young man in white, whom Williams had just spoken to.This general silence lasted for a moment until eventually, the hearts of the audience skipped with a pang of pity and regret on behalf of Williams.“He is also done for,” they mumbled, already foreseeing Williams’ demise and destroyed fate.Even Elder Folorunsho had begun to smile happily again, flashing Old Man Gaza a mockery smile once again.It was only Old Man Gaza who was suddenly scared to death by Williams’ sudden utterance.He trembled all over before suddenly, he rushed forward and then fell to his knees.“Please forgive the young master, he… he had most likely only spoken out in pity for me!”He begged the God of Gambling profusely, but just then, a strong killing intent that almost scared the hear
