Danny touched the spot Anthony had kicked and beyond the blood spilling out from the wound, he could feel the crack sustained on his skull. It was when the tip of his fingers he used to check with pushed in deeper than they should have let him know of his fractured skull
"What the hell—?" Danny said before becoming incredibly dizzy and was starting to find it challenging to concentrate when he tried getting up.
Even though he had been sitting on the floor, his arm which supported his body weakened and he tripped backward. His body fell to the floor and laying there he mumbled, fatigued "What did you do to me?"
"Don't worry about that and let's just go Danny" Sonny said as he assisted a limping Jim over to Danny and the both of them helped Danny up on his feet, all trying to leave together.
"Everything's so blurry, where are you guys taking me?" In his confused state, Danny asked while Sonny and Jim were taking him outside the restaurant. Once outsid

The Midnight Heir ONE DAY HEADS-UP
Anthony grimaced in annoyance, looking down at the manager and how close he was "I'm going to need you to move back a bit" he said.From what Anthony said and the look he was giving, the manager realized how undignified he was acting and so he cleared his throat as he stood up and fixed his suit properly."Sorry about that, I don't know what came over me just now"Anthony pursed his lips, having an indifferent demeanor towards the manager and saying "Sure, whatever you say"Anthony took in a deep breath and exhaled, getting ready to address what he came here for but then, since the manager was in front of him, this was as good a time to do it as any and so he went ahead."I want to resign from my job as a dealer," Anthony said straight up and the manager turned around, facing the entrance of the casino, and took his first couple of steps towards it."Okay yeah Favorite, I know you want to apologize for not coming to work for a whole month but we'll address that issue later and appropr
The Midnight Heir UNIFORM
The manager chuckled, feeling proud that if anything was going to get Anthony interested in the job then it definitely had to be this because Mr. Rose Dana's retirement was the topic of discussion and controversy for today and there was nobody in Polaris who didn't see the broadcast about it.Anthony grunted, remembering what Miss Charlie said during his call earlier and now feeling a sense of relief that the suspicion he had since the manager said "celebrating someone's retirement" had been confirmed.In the end, he sighed."Hehe" Seeing Anthony's face made the manager smirk and chuckle with pride and his shoulder raised unconsciously."So, is that interesting enough for someone like you?" The manager said sarcastically.Anthony chuckled and took his first step towards the casino, saying to the manager once he walked past him "What are you waiting for? We have a retirement to help make the best of don't we?"Elated that Anthony was on board, even though he was clueless about the actu
The Midnight Heir POKING AND PUNCHING
A couple of minutes after Mr. Rose Dana and his entourage entered the Jade casino and had already been welcomed by the other guests, standing next to Mr. Rose Dana right now were Rollo and Quinn, the two people who organized this fest. Around them was a perimeter of safety created by the combination of the three men's security detail and nobody was allowed to get close to them, nobody except for Miss Charlie. Thanks to her new position as the Chairwomen for the whole of Dana group she was now above everyone there in terms of status and that is also including Mr. Rollo and Quinn who are the head of the top two families in the Hierarchy. Since Mr. Rose Dana came into the casino, Patience Maple can't stop herself from sneaking impatient glances at him and it got to the point that the other guest she had been talking to felt her apathy for their presence and they all left. "Just how are we going to get you through all that security? I need a reason for him not to say no" Patience asked
The Midnight Heir RIPPED BUTTON
Patience looked at her for a few seconds before smacking her tongue and rolling her eyes, saying "You better be fast with it. If your future suitor finally comes in and you aren't here by my side then I'll come into that restroom and drag you out myself, got it?!"Even though it wasn't what she wanted, the fact that she could escape for a few minutes made Annabelle smile from ear to ear, saying "Thank you grandmother" and then she left for the restroom.Elated that their actions bore the fruit they wanted, Chloe and Carla faced each other, smirking and giving each other an energetic high five but seeing it annoyed Patience."What do you two think you're doing? How very undignified." She huffed then looked at Mr. Quinn and Rollo who were still with Mr. Rose Dana before she continued "It's still your job to get with the two top families in the hierarchy, so act accordingly"Getting reprimanded by Patience made the two girls get their acts together so they cleared their throats and fixed
The Midnight Heir RUSHING SINK WATER
Anthony waited impatiently for Annabelle to give him the name of her assaulters but she refrained. Instead, she sniffled and brushed under her nose with her wrist, causing him to get more furious."Why won't you tell me who did this—" he asked then paused with widened eyes when he thought about it and came to an educated guess of who must have hurt her.He knew it had to be a Maple that did it because no one else would have the audacity to touch her. So, using the process of elimination, Patience wouldn't want a blemish on Annabelle because of her plans while Candice who is Patience's little protégé would do exactly like her grandmother which leaves Julius and the twins.Julius wouldn't be this sinister because a twisted ear is something someone with a personal gripe would think of doing so that just leaves Chloe and Carla who he's already seen to have hurt Annabelle the day before."It's those Gemini witches wasn't it?!" Anthony said then he watched Annabelle's reaction which was all
The Midnight Heir THE HIERARCHY
"I'm right to assume that you're the manager of this here casino right?" Patience asked the manager just as he was about to make his announcement to the guests."Yes, Lady Maple! Pardon me but I'll get right with you in a second, Lady Maple. Once I'm done with what I'm about to do I'll be free to answer any questions you might—" The manager said but Patience who could care less about his announcement interrupted him by raising her hand to shoulder level."Fantastic, well I wanted to ask you why you were speaking with that Silver-haired bastard earlier. You know what, it doesn't matter 'cause I want you to throw him out of here this instant" she said and the manager looked at her skeptically."Silver-haired? Wait, are you talking about Favorite?" The manager asked and Patience grimaced with confusion.She then rolled her eyes "Look, I don't care what name you people call him or if he's everyone's favorite employee here, I want him fired this minute and I won't ask again" Patience gave
The Midnight Heir PROPOSAL
At another side of the casino, Julius who grinned from ear to ear rubbed his palms excitedly as he looked around for what game he wanted to partake in."I guess I'll go with this one—" Julius said but just before he could finish, Patience called his name as she walked up to him with all his sisters.Julius jolted, immediately getting guilty because he stopped doing what she had asked him to do earlier.Julius turned to her robotically and with a guilty smile said "Umm grandmother, I was just on my way to scout for Mr. Rose Dana's Master Anthony. He should be on his way here—"Patience cut him off with a hand gesture for him to shut up. She said "Don't you dare lie to me. I already know you were distracted and forgot what your mission was"Caught red-handed, Julius started scratching the back of his head which made Patience and Candice roll their eyes while the twins looked lost as they weren't used to being in a casino. They were bored."Always acting like undignified whenever you get
The Midnight Heir PRELIMINARY GAME
All the VIPs creased their foreheads."What proposal can that be Lady Maple?" Rollo inquired after he puffed a lung full of smoke.Patience raised her hand over Julius' neck, dropping it on the shoulder farthest from her then she pulled him closer so that they can all focus on him."Since there's a missing space that should rightfully belong to my husband, a Maple, I was thinking that my grandson who is a very proficient gambler takes his place. I assure you that he will give a very interesting gameplay. So, what do you all say?"All the VIPs looked at each other once Patience finished speaking and just from their faces, it was obvious that they all had the same mentality toward the proposal."Well Lady Maple, I don't see how that is an appropriate proposal considering how young the lad is when compared to the rest of us." Quinn said to Patience before focusing on Julius and saying "Maybe the lad will have a more enjoyable night gambling with those his age rather than old folks like
