The man in the white shirt smiled, looking at Javier after he sat down.“Mister, can the two of us have a game alone?”Kira had been playing all this while, but the white shirt guy came for Javier once he sat down. It was apparent that he realized Javier was actually the one playing and Kira was only being teased and coaxed.Javier patted Kira’s bottom without meaning for it to be derogatory, and the latter got up to stand behind him sensibly.Javier extended an arm next to motion for the white shirt guy to start.White Shirt was easygoing. “We don’t have to start with a base. Let the dealer deal directly. We can play based on pure luck. Let’s not handle our cards at all. What do you think?”Javier replied with a chuckle, “You’re the boss. You call the shots in your own place.”White Shirt was taken aback. “Do you know me?”Javier smiled without answering and had the dealer do his job.Did he have to know the guy? He had defied the rules for so long in the casino, purely winni
“Mr. Kersey, why don’t we pause the game for now and have a talk before we go on?”Kyle did not want to lose his money. That was almost all he had, so he wanted to talk to Javier privately in the VIP room. They could chat and get acquainted, maybe even form a connection. Who knows, maybe they had a mutual friend or two. This way…Well, he would not dream of not losing money, but as long as he lost less, it would be good.Unfortunately, Javier had read his mind. “Trying to make friends now? Nope.”Kyle had been destined not to leave with his money the moment he had appeared with his 150 million dollars. There was no such thing as coveting Javier’s money and wanting to retreat unscathed when the plan failed.Kyle was nettled when Javier refused to reciprocate his offer to be friends. How could such a person exist? He was not being the least bit courteous! That said, Kyle had an influence on the gangs too.The next moment, his smile faltered as he scowled. “It seems that you’re not do
Kyle surrendered and begged for mercy. His head met the floor successively with a loud sound. If he had known that Javier was far beyond his reach, he promised he would have served him with a wide smile. He would never have dared take advantage of him. Look at him now. Not only had he failed to reap any benefits, but this was going to cost him…While Kyle apologized profusely, Javier received a call from Chessie again.“Darling, Kyle’s been under me for a long time and has always been loyal to me.”Chessie did not ask for anything. She merely reasoned with Javier, and Javier understood what she wanted.“Sure. Then you owe me a 95-dollar business deal. The kind where lodging is provided?”“Okay. Come sign the deal now if you can. My cycle is over.”Audacious. Javier finally knew who Kyle had picked up his insolence from. Could he, an underling, be less brazen when his boss was this brash?“Chessie, just you wait. Once I’m done here, I’d like to see you act cocky. This would have
For the next two days, Javier stayed with Kira. As for what they kept doing together, it would be unnecessary to state it and too obscene for a younger audience anyway.Javier received a call from Derek while he was on the road at noon. The latter had informed him that Freddy had sent some people to fight at the entrance of the mall. The people they were beating up were not mall patrons or the security guards but Vernon’s underlings.Although no side had an advantage, that was beside the point. The point was that the mall’s patrons were scared off. There had been a snake incident, and then a group fight at the entrance. What kind of customer would dare pay a visit to the mall now?“Freddy Russo’s asking for a lesson, isn’t he? Go and teach him one to make sure he learns!”Javier called Herschel after he ended his call with Derek, and the two of them went to Freso Corporation, which belonged to Freddy.A security guard came up to them to stop them and ask who they were there to see
Freddy turned around and ran his eyes over the secretary’s long legs with a grin.“What’s the emergency? Are you in heat and need my help to help put the fire out?”The secretary was embarrassed. Although she knew that she was bound to be taken advantage of by Freddy, this was obviously not the time for that. What she wanted to say was something else, something that was incredibly frightening.“The security guards downstairs said that two men knocked out all the guards in the company and are making their way over here right now.”“What?!” Freddy was taken aback.Another voice rang out immediately. “You heard right. Two men have incapacitated all your security guards, but to be precise, it’s not two men because I didn’t do anything. It was all him.“And now…I think he’s going to hit you. Watch out!”The fact that Herschel had fought his way into Freddy’s office shocked him. There was a big number of security guards in the company, yet Herschel had incapacitated all of them alone?
When Javier asked about it, and before Grace could say anything, Freddy suddenly raised his gun and pointed it at Herschel.“F*ck you. So what if you can fight? I have a gun. Let’s see who is faster, you or my bullet!”Freddy looked at Javier after he barked at Herschel.“You have the balls to try and pick up my girl? You should first find out who I—hey, ow! Ow!”Before Freddy could finish his threat, he suddenly felt like his finger against the trigger was about to break.The reason was simple. Herschel had gone in for the pistol with his bare hands and forcefully twisted the gun around. As a result, he had trapped Freddy’s finger, causing him to yowl in pain like an animal being slaughtered.“Having a gun is quite impressive, but it depends on whose hand it is in. How different is it from a decayed piece of wood when it’s in your hand?”Herschel grabbed the pistol and took it apart, turning the firearm into metal scraps and unloading the bullets within seconds.Freddy was baf
When Freddy looked down through the floor-to-ceiling window beside him, he realized that he would be turned into pulp if he were to be thrown down, as they were about 20 levels above the ground. He felt chills run down his spine there and then but he used to be a gangster, so he had confidence even when he did not have any guts.He scoffed, “Who are you trying to scare? You think I haven’t been threatened my entire life?“Back when I was still in the gang, a machete about this huge stabbed right through me and I didn’t even make a sound. I took my knife and kept fighting. It’s funny that you think you can scare me with this petty threat!”Freddy was still rambling smugly when Herschel approached him and punched his throat. He was left speechless by how much pain he was in before Herschel hauled him up over his shoulder and walked to the window.Herschel’s way, which was all work and no talk, stunned Freddy. He had not expected the former to actually throw him down the building!As
It was almost seven in the evening. Javier realized belatedly that Grace had not had anything to eat in a long while, so he invited her out to a simple meal.“I’ll pass, sir. I’m gonna check on my mother in the hospital later.”“That’s a pretty important thing to do, I agree, but you don’t have to do that on an empty stomach, right?”Javier would not take no for an answer. He led Grace into the elevator and down the building, and the two of them headed to a nearby restaurant.Grace felt a little uncomfortable eating with the chairman of the organization, but as time passed, she realized he was pretty similar to common folks like her. He did not show any attitude or manners befitting the stereotypical ultra-rich. Her opinion of Javier kept soaring, and she was more and more convinced that the chairman was a cordial, down-to-earth man.Once they finished their dinner, Javier drove Grace straight to the hospital. He had not exactly planned to visit her mother personally, but the fact
