"I swear I did nothing of that sort! I've been here the whole time, Mr. Garrett. I swear it!" The card dealer hurriedly replied, her voice trembling in fear as she spoke.Bran didn't release his grip on her immediately. He held her by the collar for a few more seconds and asked, "So you're trying to tell me he somehow managed to have such a wonderful hand?"The card dealer nodded vigorously, her eyes darting around the place in fear.Bran pushed her aside and turned his eyes back to Ethan who still had a composed look on his face and snorted in disdain."So you think I'll believe you didn't cheat, eh? Someone who lost to Bob the Robber ten consecutive times beat me on my first round with him.""You should've asked the dealer to hold on for a little longer so you could've effortlessly fooled everyone here."Ethan retorted unprovoked, "If I wanted to buy my wins, I would've paid all top ten gamblers here in advance to let me win.""Yes, you could've. Unless you wanted to make it look li

Victor Voss paused for a split second then swung the golf club at Scott William again.Scott's face forcefully tilted to the side, and another deep cut appeared on his face, just beside his mouth."Please, Mr. Voss, give me more time, and I swear to you that I won't fail you. If I fail you, then you are free to do whatever you want with me!" Scott frantically begged, sputtering out a mouthful of blood as he spoke.Victor glanced at Scott's desperate, bloodshot eyes for a moment and chuckled to himself."Even without your promise, I know you will bring back my money. What I'm doing right now is to ensure you don't take too long.""Whenever you look in the mirror and see the cuts on your face, you'll remember what will happen to you if I find you and you don't have my money."He was getting ready to swing the club at Scott again when one of his men voiced out behind him, "Pardon me for the interruption, Mr. Voss, but this man came in four hours ago.""He claimed to be an amateur, but he

"Unlike poker, it'll take you a while to learn how to play Craps. Do you still want to continue playing, or should we get down to why you're here?" Victor Voss spoke up after several minutes went by with Ethan losing to him.Ethan, whose turn it was to roll the dice, paused and slowly juggled the dice in his palm."I was going to come to that. It's late already. Why don't you tell me how much my father-in-law owes you, and I'll pay off his debt in his place?"Victor met Ethan's eyes and chuckled in amusement. "Why do you think I lent 200 million dollars to a drunkard like Scott William?""Because he begged you for it," Ethan responded with a straight face.Victor leaned on the table and exhaled calmly."He did beg for it, but I don't just give loans to people because they beg. I give loans to people who I know will repay me when the time comes with the interest I told them it'd have.""From what I hear from my people, Scott William waa kicked out of his family recently, but even when

Daniel Voltia fixed his eyes on Victor as he walked towards Ethan.He got to Ethan and stopped behind him without a word.Victor's men, who knew very well who Daniel was, all placed their hands on the side of their waist, right where their revolver was.The ten men Daniel walked in with weren't left out as they did the same.The air in the room stiffened, and the tension heightened with hostility as the two rival groups glared at each other with bloodshot eyes."Daniel, a surprise to see you in my establishment," Victor was the first to break the suffocating silence as he stared distrustfully at Daniel.Daniel flashed Victor an insincere smile as he said, "A wise man once told me it's not right not to visit an establishment simply because of a history with its owner."Victor was silent for a moment before he shrugged, "This wise man, he's dead, isn't he?"Daniel shook his head and spread his arms a little, smiling a little too broadly, "Not at all. He's as healthy as a man needs to be

Victor's hand suddenly went for his throat, gripping it tightly. The golf club slowly slipped out of his grip, and he wrapped both hands around his throat.The middle-aged man was astounded to see his master gasping for breath out of the blue. Victor had no breathing problem. In fact, he had quite a healthy medical record."Sir, are you okay? Wh-what can I do to help?" He hurried to Victor's side, stuttering in confusion..Victor weakly gripped him by the shoulder to stabilize himself as he suddenly lost his footing and stumbled backward.Victor was tall and huge. His right-hand man, on the other hand, was only of average height with a lean stature.Supporting the heavy Victor was too difficult, so he slowly let him fall to the ground but gasped and stepped backward when their eyes met."S-sir?"On a normal day, Victor's eyes were often bloodshot because of how much he drank, but that didn't stop his right-hand man from seeing the little streaks of blood trickling into his now bulging

Ethan pushed his chair backward and straightened up majestically, his icy gaze pinned on Victor. Then he slipped his hands into his pockets and hummed in reply, "There will be cutting, but that'd be later." "So, Victor Voss, you like violating people's wives and daughters so much, don't you?" Victor subconsciously took a step backward. He was smart enough to know what was going on and the grave danger he was in. Ethan easily manipulated him into thinking he was suffocating, and this man with him could move without being detected. Unless a savior intervened, going head to head with Ethan would be a very bad decision. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, recalling how he had belittled Ethan and the numerous threats he made. Left with no choice, he glanced around him, taking in the faces of everyone in the room. "You all know the Wellingtons, don't you? You know how powerful they are. I'm not just the owner of a gambling establishment.""I'm tight with the heir to the Wellington

Their eyes widened in horror, and it was the last expression on their faces as they all dropped to their knees the very next second and stopped breathing.Victor saw this scene and was gripped with intense fear. He immediately forgot the sort of man he was and weakly gripped Ethan's leg, begging."Pl-please, let me off this one time and I will repent! Please!"Ethan smiled as if he had just heard a joke."Really? You love killing so much, but it seems to bother you when you're not the one doing the killing. You really bother me."Victor swallowed nervously and raised his swollen eyes to look at Ethan. "I've done many bad things, all of which I promise to rectify if you give me a second chance at life."Ethan felt something wet and warm on his leg and lowered his eyes to see Victor's shoulders trembling. He was crying."How many of the women you raped then killed begged you like this? How many of them begged you like this not for you to let them off, but for you to do whatever you want

News that the Reese family had offended the Lauthner family traveled like a whirlwind in Springdale, and in less than an hour, all the allies they had called to say they no longer wanted anything to do with them."Mr. Winchester, the Reese family assures you our current dilemma will have no effect on what we already have going on.

Wexford That evening, Declan Wellington felt cooped up at home, so he left the house to spend the day golfing with a close friend of the Wellingtons who owned a golf course. They golfed together for three hours before they got tired and drove to his house to rest. Marvin Phelps poured him a drink before asking politely, “This may be out of place for me to ask, Mr. Wellington, but you seemed out of it throughout today. Is anything the matter?” “What?” An absent-minded Declan didn’t know when he blurted out, glancing at him. Marvin Phelps sat up, now fully convinced there was something on Declan’s mind. With a serious look on his face, he cautiously continued, “What is the problem? Is anyone troubling you? Say the word and I’ll have that person’s legs crushed to bits and forcefully drag them here!” Declan raised his eyes to look at him. Even if he said nothing, his eyes lit up a little when he recalled who Marvin was. The Phelps family was headed by this man despit

Scott William was instantly taken aback. Then he gritted his teeth in rage and resisted the urge to grab her by the collar as he yelled at her angrily. “What do you think you’re doing? He’s your son-in-law, how could you think of doing something so despicable to him!”“I know you’ve been looking for ways to get rid of him, but he’s having a psychotic breakdown? Matilda Brown, are you out of your mind?!” However, the woman ignored him and reached into her bag for a file. She placed it on the counter and continued speaking to the officer with a straight face. “Here. This is the result of the psych evaluation. You can check with the hospital he took it at just to be sure.” Scott closed the distance between them and grabbed her arm firmly, “If you have nothing better to do, then turn around and go back home.” “I know you’re scared of this affecting our family, but you don’t have anything to worry about because I’ll take care of this!” “Ethan didn’t do what they’re accusing him of

The sergeant and the other officers were slightly taken aback by his sudden compliance. Given that Charles and Kane were questioning their every word, they assumed they would have to use force to get him out of here. However, not only was he complying, but he was even flashing them a faint, non-aggressive smile. It was as though he had the situation under control which caused them to wonder why. They were yet to be reached by anyone from the higherups, so what was this guy doing. Since Ethan was coming with them willingly, there was no need to cuff him at all. So the sergeant nodded and led him to the station. The reception was decvoid of people, but those who were in their rooms before a few minutes ago, were all standing beside their windows watching who was getting arrested. Ethan walked to the passenger side of the car and glanced around him with an unbothered smile before proceeding to get in. In Wexford County, in the Wellington family residence, Declan Wellington was w

Ethan’s eyes darkened instantly. Almost immediately, he felt a call come into his phone and checked the caller to see it was Declan calling. He was silent for a few seconds before assured her calmly, “I’ll bring them back. Chloe and Honey, I’ll make sure they come back without a scratch.” “For now, focus on getting better. Neither of them would like it if return to see you in such a terrible state.” Then he ended the call without waiting for her response and answered Declan’s. As soon as the call connected, Declan’s bubbly voice sounded in his ears, “Your little bastard is a little too pretty. Truly her mother’s daughter.” “Your genes almost lost the fight, but her eyes saved you. Hopefully, if your other bastard lives, it would put up a fight to look exactly like you.” Ethan tightened his grip around his phone, but said nothing. He remained expressionless, but his eyes beamed furious. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything in really. Declan had truly blinded him from

Ethan didn’t react immediately. He was silent for several seconds before he responded. “You’re the highly esteemed head of the Welllington family. Why resort to threatening your enemy with somsone close to them when you can face them head on yourself?”Declan yawned boredly from the other end. “What nonsense are you talking about? My enemy? You? You really think I think of you as my enemy?” “In what world did you think a bastard like you is worthy of becoming an enemy of Declan Wellington?” “We may share the same father, but to me, you’re nothing more than a confused rat. Sure, you’ve spent a few years in the army and earned yourself a few lackeys, but vagrant like you should know their place.”“Simply talking to me is a privilege you should never have. Whatever I’ll make you go through is a privilege you don’t deserve. Even if I kill you, you should be grateful I let you die by my hands!”Ethan chuckled calmly and went on to reply. “I was told you sent one of the best men your

Meanwhile, Charles Wilkins was looking into the people who crashed into Claire’s car and took Chloe. He tracked them down to their base in a nightclub. The club had lax security. Hence, he wasn’t stopped by the hefty men standing the door as he walked into the club. It was a few minutes past 7 in the evening and the club was getting filled by people. He stood in the middle of the room and glanced around before he spotted the VIP section and strutted straight to it. It didn’t take him long to find the room of the club’s own given that there were six hefty bodyguards in front of the door. Inside the room, a short and fat man was sitting on the couch with two of his colleagues while watching three unclad ladies dancing on a strip poles. Because the music in the room was so loud, he didn’t hear the tussle outside and only realized something was wrong when an unfamiliar man walked into the room wiping his hands seemingly clean hands clean. Charles didn’t look at anyone as he

As soon as Lewis William ended the call, he stood over an unconscious Chloe with a lewd look in his eyes. Ever since he knew right from wrong, he was always told of her lucky he was to have such beautiful cousins. Had Chloe not fallen out of grace with the William family and most people in Springdale, he had no doubt his life would still be filled with words of how lucky he was to have Chloe and Claire as his cousins. He never saw the beauty everyone saw, but now that he was alone with her and could see her up close, he finally saw it. Was she not his cousin, he would’ve slept with her first before handing her over to this gallery director. As he walked out of the house, he received a call from somsone. “What do you think you’re doing? I clearly told you the person I am after is Claire William!” Vivian Martell yelled from the other end as soon as the call connected. Lewis sucked in a deep breath to keep himself from screaming back at her and retorted calmly, “There’s no need to

A minute later, Charles turned to Ethan and reported solemnly, “Mrs. Black wasn’t taken by Declan Wellington. She was taken by the William family.” In the William family residence. Adam William paced to and fro in the living room, his hands clasped behind his back and brows knitted together in worry. “Grandfather, after today, I will make sure our William family will no longer be looked down on by other families!” Those were the words Lewis said to him this morning before he left the house. Ever since Astoria Corporation pulled away their investment, other companies followed suit. They were not only knee-deep in debt, but every valuable thing in their house had been taken by the bank and everyone they were owing. They took everything ranging from jewelries, electronics and furnitures. Even the expensive looking lights were not left out. Adam had run to those whom he had helped when the William family were at its peak a few months ago, but they all hung up on him the moment th

He called her three times and each time, the phone wasn’t answered. There was no denying it now. Soenthing had really happened. His brows knitted into a tight frown as he switched to calling Claire. But just like Chloe, Claire didn’t answer her phone either. As soon as the third call ended, the screen of his phone lit up with a call from Claire and he eagerly answered it. “Where are you? I’ve been calling Chloe. Did something…” He was suddenly cut off by a voice that didn’t belong to Claire. “Hello, this phone belongs to a woman involved in a car accident. Seeing that your contact is saved with ‘Brother-in-law’ I thought it was wise to return your call.” His pupils instantly dilated and he strutted quickly to the window, away from Honey’s earshot.. He pressed the phone against his ear rig heed and repeated in disbelief, “Accident? She was involved in an accident? What about the other woman in the car with her? Is she badly injured? In fact, tell me which hospital you are!” In
