"Sorry, I came a little late, sir." Smith glanced through the windshield and monitored the position behind it.He had tried to come as quickly as possible, but his schedule today was fairly tight as he was attending a meeting that required him to represent Richard since Richard still hadn't revealed who he was to the public.He came as quickly as possible, but it took a long time. However, from those Smith had asked to stand guard around Richard, he knew who Richard was dealing with.His people had sent him a picture of Max getting into an altercation with Richard. Smith recognized who it was and contacted the person who could take responsibility for his actions. He had seen Max come into David's office a few times, calling David's dad. Smith recognized his spoiled personality, but he didn't care as long as it had nothing to do with the company because, besides Max, Smith knew that David still had other children who could be relied on and lead well in the future if David stepped down
"Use this quickly. I'll be back to get it again later." The policeman gave Max the office phone, and then he left.Max closed his eyes. He tried hard to remember the phone number of the person he wanted to call. He only had one chance, so he had to make the best of it.He then pressed the number buttons and brought the receiver to his ear. "Please pick up, sir." He heard the phone ring for a long time, but he didn't see anyone pick up until the call ended.Max clucked frantically. "What is he doing? Is it possible she's not picking up because it's a call from a phone number she doesn't recognize?" He was increasingly anxious, worried that his call would be completely ignored.He then called him back, shaking her head. "No... no, I can't be here. I don't want to go to jail. They can't do this to me." He clenched her hand into a fist while his other hand held the receiver tightly.As hia hopes dwindled and he became more and more desperate, the dial tone on the phone stopped. "Who is th
"Your father asked you to come to a party he's throwing, sir." Smith stood to Richard's right, who was currently on the racetrack.Richard cast his eyes over Olympus, the horse he often rode for sport. The horse itself was of Thoroughbred flavor. It was a horse that was very famous for its speed. Even though his eyes were on the horse currently being groomed after his ride, Richard listened carefully to what Smith was telling him. Smith looked back at the notice he had compiled on the note he always carried with him so as not to forget what he would do again. "The meeting will be held at Diamond Cas, you are requested to be present on time, sir.""For what agenda did he ask me to come to the Casino?" Richard took off his vest and gave it to one of the waiters handling him, apart from Smith, who was there.Richard didn't have anything on his agenda today, and he had specifically scheduled today as a day to spend on sports. He did not have much free time, but in a week, he was expected
"Do you play at this place often?" A man who played with him looked with an interested gaze at him.Richard put down his bag again. "This is the first time I came to play at this place." He answered honestly.The man pursed his lips tightly, still with his gaze fixed on Richard. "Is that so? But your game is great. You've been winning ever since." He was impressed by how beautifully Richard played.Richard pulled the corner of his lips in a smile. "I just did what everyone else did."He did the basic things of the game, followed the game's rules, and thought through his strategy well. Winning was not the goal, as he chose to play just to try it out. He wasn't interested in winning or losing, but when he did win, he was entertained.The man raised the corner of his chin and was silent for a while. "Is that so?" His eyebrows moved up somewhat confusedly, but he resumed his game.Meanwhile, the people who staffed the guards around the place observed what Richard was doing. They had alrea
The two people lying on the floor stared at Richard fiercely, their bodies still lying on the floor, moving with difficulty.One of them tried to get back up. "You'd better be cooperative, or we'll take more action than this." He threatened Richard.Richard ignored the man's words, instead, he turned his gaze and looked towards the corners of the place, looking for the locations of the CCTV.He thought he might as well inspect other things he needed to check there while dealing with them. So Richard stepped forward to open another door, but his hand was caught from behind.It was pulled forcefully and made him turn his head back to them. Richard found one of the guards holding his hand while the other just caught up with them.His eyes continued to watch with an unreadable gaze. Then, he moved sluggishly back to the person who had kept him there.Richard then pushed the man's hand away hard, making the man's hand move with him, and finally let go of his hand unintentionally."If you c
The two officers who put Richard in that situation looked at each other in panic. They had not expected that Richard would be the one to be influenced in that place. What they were trying to do was to secure him. Because sometime before, troublemakers tried to do tricks in that place but failed. Even so, the existence of such a person still makes them a security problem. Because if something happens and there is a report that first gets sanctioned, it is their side. So, the head of security at the place was strictly warned about the chaos that might occur, especially when there would be a big party.Brian, the manager of the place, sighed heavily and bowed his head again. "I am truly sorry, sir. It was also my negligence not to know what was going on." He bowed deeply and sounded guilty. "I will ensure they both take responsibility for what they did, sir." She had been so busy with things to welcome and enliven the party tonight that she had forgotten to warn them about the possibili
Richard, who left the restroom corridor, continued to avoid the crowd. He had a certain limit to which he could endure the interaction with other people in crowded places, and right now, he had reached his limit. So he moved away from them and towards where they were least likely to be, the veranda.Little did he know that a woman had been watching his movements and was following him to the veranda. Richard took a deep breath, enjoying the scenery before his eyes. Although the day had turned into night, the place could still clearly show its charm."Isn't this place beautiful?" The woman walked up to Richard with a glass of wine.She brought herself closer to the veranda divider and leaned one of her arms on it. Her eyes momentarily looked at the whole place with an admiring gaze while Richard just silently watched her from her place.Richard didn't know who she was and didn't answer her question until she turned to him and smiled. "Do you like being in this place compared to being th
"Shouldn't I know who's involved in this so I can cooperate properly if I want to join you guys?" He was trying his best to find out more about it.Even for Richard, who was not too interested in gambling in casinos. He also had a handful of knowledge about a certain group that worked together to reap profits in the casino, where they played with the underhanded tricks they did.All the tricks they have are cunning tricks that not all of them can be proven because their skill in manipulating results and hiding evidence of their cheating is fairly top tier. That reason also made the security officers who faced Richard wary of him.As he had heard from Brian, there had been a lot of cheating in that place lately, and they were trying to catch him immediately. Richard was sure maybe what Brian was looking for was the group that Lidya was talking about.Lidya's gaze looked more alert. "Even if you join, you still won't get full information about who is involved in this group." The corners
