"Who are you to speak to me in that manner? Don't you know who I am? I'm the Crossword family heir!"Xander was momentarily taken aback before he let out a breath and retorted back while glaring at Sett. He wanted to see Sett's reaction, but because Sett was wearing sunglasses that covered his expression, he couldn't do so. Sett smirked while thinking of when this self-titled idiot became the family heir. His grandfather, San Francisco, must have gone senile to do that."Ha, are you an idiot? You want to pay for your master when you're merely a small bodyguard? How are you going to get that much money?" Xander endearingly poked Sett's chest, which was quite an offensive gesture. He had to bend this bodyguard into his place. "Also, when your master isn't even speaking as a little bodyguard, you ought to shut up! A watchdog is a lot better than you, poor nutjob!"During this period, as Xander was speaking. He somewhat found this bodyguard oddly familiar, yet he couldn't put his finger
"If you can prove you aren't a scammer, I'll acknowledge my mistake in front of everyone. If you can't prove it..." Xander trailed off his words as he smirked notoriously, before adding. "As a loser, you'll either run around b*tt naked or leak my foot. How about it? " Xander's statement was as vicious as it could get. Nevertheless, he wouldn't have offered it this way if he wasn't brimming with confidence. That's what this bodyguard gets for tooting his own horn! Also, Xander knew that Sett had two choices: he would either accept his challenge or refuse it. But refusing would only solidify Xander's accusation of him being a scammer. Moreover, Kate would also bear the brunt of everyone's judgy eyes.Nevertheless, in response to these two choices, Sett decided to create his own option. He narrowed his gaze at this overly confident cousin of his, and Sett couldn't help but crack up a little at this nonsensical challenge from Xander. "You're laughing at me? Do you think this is a joke?"
"Actually, it's nothing much. Just like what you said, if I lose, I'm going to run naked. How about you do that? That way, it would be interesting to see your a*s in broad daylight." Sett sneered. In any case, this guy should be thankful for not making him leak his foot.Instantly, Xander's face turns purple. If he'd known that he would lose, he wouldn't have bet himself running naked with his a** flashing in the open. He would be a laughingstock!F*ck! F*ck! Xander kept swearing in his head, but regardless of how he simulated it in his mind, it wouldn't change the reality.F*ck everything!Neither way, it was too late, so even if others called the rock food, he had no choice but to swallow that rock, or else his reputation would be doomed! The mere thought of it made his liver feel that it was being twisted into a knot of regret! "He is not a man of his word. What a bull!""The Crossword family's new heir only amounts to that much? A heir that doesn't have a backbone, not to mention
Sett forced out a wry smile. Honestly speaking, he wasn't feeling as comfortable as he expected he would when attaining this god-like physique. Sett scratched his nose as he mumbled in front of the mirror. "Perhaps it had something to do with being a first-timer wearing such a high-class suit?" Currently, he was wearing a combination of a dark blue tuxedo and it wasn't anything but ordinary, as it was the Emporio Armani Tuxedo, personally crafted by Gorgio Armani himself. It was supposed to be an attraction rather than for sale, but when Sett offered a couple of million dollars to buy it, the superintendent had no choice but to agree. After all, it was between him and his pocket. Unfortunately, there wasn't another pair of black pants of similar quality. However, the other Armani pants were still nice to have as they tightly hugged his long legs. It was Kate who had selected the suits for him without so much as saying a word. Nevertheless, he had to admit that Kate's taste when cho
On the main street of the city, where the Rotherford Casino stood tall, in the vicinity of the casino, a lady could be seen heading toward a particular luxury vehicle. "Mr. Crow..." Just then, Sett took heed of someone yelling at him a couple of blocks away. It was moments after he got out of his parked car right at the entrance of the Rotherford casino. It wasn't difficult for Sett to spot Ms. Scarlett, who was elegantly pacing toward him, as she was a natural head turner and it appeared that she'd already been attracting a bit of attention from men and women. But Ms. Scarlet seemed to ignore it. Maybe she was used to it? Sett didn't know the answer, then he nodded to affirm Ms. Scarlett, who had been waiting for him as they shook hands. "This is?" Ms. Scarlett dramatically shifted her gaze to Kate, who was currently clasping Sett's becips like a cuala. "Are you, sister Jane? Your very gorgeous, Ms. Jane, just like what my father said!" Kate eyes sparkled as she complimented h
"The last time someone lustfully gazed at my companion, his hand almost got chopped off.... Do consider my words not as a menace but as advice, young master Rocco." Sett seriously said, ending the unbridled and nefarious gaze of young Master Rocco. Actually, Sett was telling the truth. If that guy wasn't lucky, his hand would have been amputated after that accident at the restaurant where he boiled young master Marco's arm. For a couple of seconds, Sett and young master Rocco locked gazes. No one was backing down. However, the first to break the silence was young master Rocco, who blew up with laughter."That was a good one... What's your name again, my friend?" Young Master Rocco wiped the tears out of the corner of his eyes as he inquired while offering his hand."I preferred being called Mr. Crow." Sett said with a long face, and he didn't back down and shook hands with young master Rocco. He wanted to know what this smiling tiger was up to, and it appears that his hunch was correc
As Ms. Scarlett was leading the group of terrifying-looking foreigners, her expression was equally scary, not for whatever reason, but because she had witnessed how Sett was at gunpoint. Whatever the means, it was her sole obligation to protect Sett. No one can touch a single hair of Sett without her acknowledgment! As Ms. Scarlett was about to wreak havoc, a hand patted her shoulder, prompting her to stop. "Ms. Scarlett, allow me to solve this problem." The Japanese man smiled at her as he gently spoke. It took a few seconds before Ms. Scarlett managed to suppress her anger, but not before she glared with killing intent at young master Rocco who immediately flinched, as though he felt there was a barracuda eying him. "My, my, what a lovely party!" The Japanese man with a long ponytail gazed through the brims of his fédora hat toward Young Master, Rocco, who couldn't make head or tail of the situation. "You are?" Sett inquired curiously, as he found the man rather interesting as he
"Before we proceed..." Young Master Rocco stopped the dealer as he gave a sign to his men in black outfits, who responded with a nod as they formed a line and pushed the spectators a couple of meters away.Meanwhile, a male African American tourist yelled while he was being pushed by the casino security personnel. "Don't push as we have to see the end of the match!" "What are you doing, man? I'm a regular at this casino. What you are doing is improper!" A pro player was infuriated. Since when did this casino suddenly turn unlawful? Even the security guards had to kick them out."We apologize, but the spot is off-limits." Seeing that the place was cleared, Young Master Rocco gazed at everyone at the table, particularly Ms. Scarlett. A light of desire flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it."As we've agreed. I'll keep my promise to make things fascinating. One can bet on anything, from position to power and even life... How about it? But it wouldn't be perfect if I didn
