The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 083 A Game of Poker
Greg Dalmatian’s dark monologue sent shivers up Jerry and Serpico’s spine. The duo were ruthless gangsters themselves but were obviously no match for the Brambles Lieutenant as far as brutality was concerned.Greg maimed, tortured, and killed for entertainment occasionally. Often, he kept trophies of his fallen enemies in the barbaric form of preserved eyes, hearts, or even stuffed corpses. He was a monster in plain sight.Jerry and Serpico nodded to him with respect and quietly returned to their seats.A thick crowd had already gathered around the center table since it was the first time an outsider had challenged the big three of Peridot City. Everyone was thrilled for entertainment but also anxious that it would end with the challenger’s murder.“Did you see the young man casually shell out a million dollars as if it were spare change?”“Maybe he won a lottery and is trying to make a fortune here?”“The Big Three appear pissed! He’s done for!”“The young man is not getting out of h
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 084 Sweeten The Pot
“Are you out of your mind, kid?” Greg snapped. “Do you even have that amount in your bank account?”A bet of ten million had never happened in the Bellagio, which was Peridot City’s most expensive casino. More people left their games and gathered around the center table to watch the escalating poker bet.“Ten million? Did he say ten million?”“Is he just uttering random numbers?”Tyler watched the shocked faces of Greg, Serpico, and Jerry in amusement. “It seems you guys have been gambling with amateurs until now. Is ten million dollars really a large amount for you? I can fish that out everyday for breakfast!”Greg Dalmatian had expected the game to be over by now. However, the young man before him was bent on raising the stakes for no apparent reason.Ten million was indeed a considerable amount for Greg since his entire chain of casinos made that amount in a month! It would be prudent to fold his cards at this point.However, as the gangster looked around at the gathered crowd, his

“No, that cannot be!” Greg Dalmatian exclaimed. “I heard the gemstone had been found. Sapphire City’s Mayor announced it in a public speech. How did you come across it?”“The rarest of rare sapphires, isn’t it?” Tyler said, admiring its outline. “I purchased a lump of coal at the annual minerals exhibition in Sapphire City. It turned out to be encasing the royal Mayfair.”“Initially, I was told it was worth a few million dollars. But once I got the gemstone examined at the lab, purveyors informed me it could sell at fifty million!”The crowd began murmuring in excitement.“Who is the young man? How does he have so much money?”“He even owns the Mayfair Sapphire. International museums and governments could purchase it for a hundred million!”“The gemstone could even be sold in the black market for three hundred million!”“The goddess of fortune has really blessed this young man with riches!”“I raise the bet to 140 million dollars!” Tyler declared.This time, Greg interlocked his finger
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 086 Cheater
Greg Dalmatian sprang to his feet, making his chair topple over. His confused stare darted from the revealed cards to Ronnie. Where was the losing set he was supposed to deal out to Tyler? How did it magically turn into the highest-ranked hand in Poker?“What the fuck is this, Ronnie?!”“Sir… I… I…” the dealer stammered in alarm.The spectators watching the game intently also shuffled back from the center table. Their gossip escalated to a roaring buzz.“Did the guy just win a jackpot?”“Casinos? Over a hundred forty million dollars?”“I told you Lady Luck favored him!”However, Greg Dalmatian was on a completely different page.“Youuuu!” he roared at Tyler, pointing an accusatory finger at him. “You’re a cheat! A fraud! There’s no way you could suddenly get a five of a kind!”Tyler looked rather unperturbed by the accusation. “We played with your rules, your dealer, your pack of cards, and your casino. How did I cheat?”The young man’s defensive explanation made sense. There were ove
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 087 The Irresistible Offer
The entire hall was shocked into silence as Jerry Kramer and Serpico dropped dead. They were two of the Big Three that ruled over and terrorized Peridot City. A collective gasp echoed. Everyone was astonished that the lives of such bigwigs were snuffed out like commoners."What have you done, you bastards!" Greg Dalmatian screamed at his men in exasperation. "Are you blind or drunk?!"The four guards exchanged confused glances among themselves and checked their guns for defects. There was no issue with the pistol barrels."Sir, we fired our guns directly at Tyler!" one of them explained in alarm. "Mr. Kramer and Mr. Serpico weren't even in our lines of fire!"The guards were correct in their assessment because their bullets had undoubtedly swung away from Tyler to hit the duo.Greg growled aloud; he was having none of it. "Fools! Wastes of space! Where are the rest of you? Come out!"More of Greg, Serpico, and Jerry's underlings stepped out of the crowd, armed and loaded."Shoot again
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 088 Overthrown
Wally had joined Greg’s casino group as an intern. Within a month, the gangster realized the boy was an incredible genius in accounting and management. His talents could be used to launder his black money.Greg generously offered Wally a high salary to work for him full-time. He also promised attractive trafficked girls to sleep with. In other words, the young man could live like a king if he agreed to sell his soul.However, Wally’s conscience made him reject the offer. He wanted to escape the whirlpool of illicit activities and businesses.Greg would have none of that. The gangster tortured him and threatened to kill his parents. At this point, poor Wally had no choice but to stay and work like a slave.“Oh, that pathetic sob story of yours!” Greg fired back at Wally in a mocking tone. “I had forgotten you had a life outside this casino!”The gangster shot him a derisive look. “Do you want my casinos? Good luck trying to kill me with your frail body when my armed men outnumber you a
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 089 Secret Room
A collective gasp echoed in the Secret Lair of the Bellagio Casino. It was as if the people gathered—the bureaucrats, politicians, mafiosos, businessmen, and other bigwigs of Peridot City realized an era had ended.The previous owner, the mighty Greg Dalmatian, who terrorized the city, was dead. His end was pathetic, tripping over his own toes and impaling himself over a cue stick."Some ribbons tie themselves," Tyler said without emotion. Wally immediately ordered the casino staff to remove the corpse and scrub the scene.It was not the first time the young man had to clean up a bloody mess. Greg Dalmatian, owing to his murderous proclivities, forced him to dispose of corpses almost every day. It was ironic that the gangster ended up becoming the corpse himself.The spectators present were asked to return to their tables and continue playing as long as no illicit bets were made.Tyler turned to Wally. The young man looked quite traumatized by the attack on his life. Greg had almost s
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 090 Doors Are Annoying
Wally panicked, as did everyone else who heard him. They thought Tyler was a stranger to Peridot City and, therefore, unaware of its lurking dangers. However, the citizens knew how ruthless the Brambles Gang was as their men terrorized them daily. The gang neither forgot nor forgave. They retaliated almost immediately. The Brambles Gang paid back every slight, offense, and attack a thousandfold. All those who supported Greg Dalmatian’s downfall or did nothing to prevent it were likely to be tortured and killed mercilessly. However, Tyler looked completely unperturbed by the news of their arrival. “Is the door locked?” he asked casually. Wally was confused by the irrelevant question. “Sir, I don’t understand…” “I asked whether the security door that admits people into the Secret Lair is locked.” The young man scratched his head anxiously. Did Tyler expect to stay holed up in the gambling den forever? Why did it matter whether the door was locked or open? It was time to escape, rega
