"Make sure your movements don't catch the attention of others. Move carefully and keep them quiet when you pull her from the place later." Richard was looking at the center of the place, waiting for the time to welcome the party to arrive. "Yes, sir, move as directed. I'll pass it on to everyone." Brian copied Richard's words and instructed his subordinates as Richard had said. From what Richard could tell from the program that Smith had told him, the welcome party would start around seven o'clock, and it was only a few seconds away. At that time, Richard was sure that people's attention would be drawn to James, who would enter and start greeting them. At the far end, Richard began to see the crowd. He recognized one of them as his father's servant. Within seconds, he saw James enter from the main door. "Have them stand behind those people and wait until I say move." "Yes, sir, carry it out." Brian passed the order to his subordinates, who immediately took positions behind the five
"Find their data on the playing guest list, find out how long they have been guests at this place, and how much they have lost in this day." He ordered the brand to bring him what he needed to judge the five people. He knew there would always be those trying to make a profit in every place, those who did not even deserve to benefit from them, and how dare they do such a thing with him. They were playing in the wrong place with a lot of courage. Richard deeply regretted that. If only that much courage of theirs were used for better things, they wouldn't have become such useless bastards. They put in so much effort only to become trash. "I'll be right back, sir." One of the men who was with Richard earlier then left. He left the room and went to see Brian in person to report what had happened. The door to Brian's room was knocked on three times, then opened, and he went inside. The man stopped a few steps away from Brian, who had already turned his head towards the door as soon
The unexpected happened. From the news, Richard even got their background. Brian worked with more than just a search. He asked for thirty minutes for the task given to him and even presented other quite dizzying facts. The information on where they spent the money they took from him was important for Richard. He knew that there were many problems faced by many people and among those problems, most of them stemmed from economic issues. Those people were among them. "The money you took was quite a lot, but you still came here. So tell me, where did you use the money?" He wanted to see it firsthand. To see if they would confess directly to his mercy or not. They stared at each other in exasperation, including the woman who looked down while twisting her hands on her dress. Now Richard seemed to see why she was being tough and trying to hide her emotions as she continued to call him low even from the veranda because she did not want to prove that Richard's words were true and tried t
Lidya smiled with a wry face. "Do you think just having them obey you makes us believe you?" She thought things over again. To be honest, Richard almost made her believe because he said everything that sounded reasonable at first glance. But working with someone was a different matter. They were bound to an agreement that they weren't sure where it would take them. It could be that what Richard was asking was worse than what they were trying to do. But thinking about bad things, she had done bad things earlier by allowing her normal friend to serve men. "Argh..." She sighed heavily and regretted it. Her eyes closed as she looked down feeling guilty, she was just trying to think quickly without realizing what would happen if that really happened. Just imagining it was horrible. "This is not the deal we wanted to hear." Richard returned to his seat, realizing that this conversation would take a long time, and leaned his shoulders on the chair. "Then what do you expect? You want
“Allright, then our conversation is over." Richard got up from his seat. He had explained what he needed to explain to them, and he thought they understood what he had said so far. He could see that they accepted the deal he gave them. Richard turned to his right side. "Ask them to wait in this place until their contracts are prepared and signed." "Yes, sir." The man turned around and met them there, waiting for them until Richard had done what he had said. In between, Lidya looked at Richard and chased after him. "Wait a minute, sir." She intercepted Richard right near the now-open exit. Richard stopped right in front of the woman and looked at her calmly. "What's wrong? Do you still have something to talk to me about?" She nodded her head." Yes, sir. I hope you will keep our agreement. The agreement about sponsoring the places where our funds go." Richard had a more relaxed look with less stiffness, though he didn't smile. "Of course, I will keep my word. As long as you d
The night turned into day, and Richard woke up refreshed. He didn't even hear the sound of his cell phone ringing because of his father's call. He just checked it after taking a shower and called him back, telling him that he came to the party his father threw, only to return before he could meet his father because his head hurt. He wasn't entirely lying about that. He was indeed sick, more like he didn't have the energy to be there any longer. That, too, could be categorized as an illness, right? He was sure it was. After reporting it to his father, Richard left the inn and walked towards the open-air restaurant. His eyes looked up at the sky. Then, he slowly took a deep breath. "The air is completely different from the air in the city." He took a deep breath of the fresh air in that place until it filled his lungs, then stepped back into the natural surroundings humans had touched but retained the scenery around it. He was in that place unaccompanied by anyone, including Smith
"Yes, I will stay here for the time being. I'll let you know when I'm going home." Richard disconnected the phone between him and Smith, putting the phone back in his pocket. He exited his room, opened the door, and looked around, taking in the scenery that never bored him. He then decided to leave his room. Breathing in the air from the air conditioner in that place was like doing herself a disservice when she could freely enjoy the view and the much cooler and more refreshing air. He smiled as his feet hit the road again. "Father did the right thing by insisting on getting this place for his business. At least from that boring casino, there's an interesting place like this that can relieve my boredom." He decided to take a walk around the place with her simple appearance. He walked down the downhill path of the hill while casting his eyes to his left and right, seeing the wilderness on the next unexplored cliff. He became interested in the place, too, but he heard it was about t
Edmund looked at him fiercely, originally he disliked Richard because the man was noticed by Eve, but now he disliked him even more because the man had an arrogant attitude.He then snorted. "Huh, what do you think I'm going to be afraid of?"Richard replied with a flat look. "You should be if you still have your wits about you and realize your mistake."What did you say?!" Edmund clenched his hands tightly, his ego burned by what Richard had said. "What an asshole!" He then swung his hand tightly and aimed it at Richard.The body moved forward, in sync with the movement of his hand, as Richard reflexively dodged Edmund quickly, which ended up making Edmund almost lose his balance as he dodged him."Damn it!" He cursed harshly, turning towards Richard and glaring at him sharply. "You! Just watch. I'll teach you a lesson.""Stop Edmund!" Eve yelled at him, having previously been flabbergasted at what Edmund was doing again by going to hit Richard when he had just almost put Richard in
