Everyone in the VIP room was stunned by the complete turn of events.Just a few minutes ago, Raymond had been sitting helplessly at the table with only five hundred thousand dollars left against a professional gambler who had nearly sixty million dollars. He had been on the verge of losing everything and falling into a thirty-million-dollar debt trap.Yet, after the masked man took over, the entire situation had changed.Darren had won round after round without losing even once."How is this possible?" someone whispered."I have never seen anything like this before. That professional gambler has been winning for years, but he hasn't been able to win a single round against this masked man.""Who exactly is he? He must be some kind of gambling genius!"The crowd could hardly believe their eyes. They had initially thought Darren was a fool for challenging the professional gambler, but now they were looking at him with admiration.Raymond, who had been trembling with fear only a short whi

Darren looked calmly at the robust man standing in front of him."I will take off the mask when I want to," he said.The bodyguard's face darkened. "You better take it off now, or I will beat you to a pulp and remove it myself."Darren simply looked at him without saying anything.The man glanced around the empty street and laughed coldly."Look around you. There is nobody here. It is just you and me. Who is going to stop me?"He pointed at Darren's mask. "I want to see the ugly face you are hiding behind that thing."Darren shrugged."What's stopping you?"The bodyguard's expression changed. He clearly had not expected Darren to be so calm."Good. Since you want to act tough, I will show you."Without another word, the man suddenly threw a powerful punch toward Darren's head.But at the last moment, he found himself punching nothing.Darren had disappeared from in front of him.The bodyguard's fist cut through the air."What?"Before he could understand what had happened, he felt a p

About an hour later, at the courthouse where the case between the Hiltons and Joseph had taken place, Judge Steven was sitting in his private office.A nameplate on the door clearly read, Judge Steven.The middle-aged judge was busy going through some paperwork on his desk when a light knock sounded against the door.He looked up. “Come in.”The door opened, and a young woman walked into the office.Judge Steven's eyes immediately went to her.She was beautiful, and the gown she wore was designed to draw attention to her figure. She was also chewing gum in a slow and almost playful manner.The judge only looked at her for a few seconds before quickly turning his attention back to the papers on his desk.“Please, take a seat,” he said. “What can I do for you?”The woman sat down, but unlike the judge, she did not appear to be in any hurry.Instead, she looked at him carefully and smiled. “You look younger than I expected.”Judge Steven looked up again.“Excuse me?”“I said you look goo

Joseph smiled slyly. “That is a good question.”He stood up from the chair and began pacing slowly around the office.“I only want you to do two things,” he said. “Once you do them, these pictures will never leave this room. I will not send them to your wife, and I will not show them to anyone else. Consider it our little secret.”Judge Steven stared at him with disgust.“What two things?”Joseph stopped pacing and turned toward him. “First, tomorrow, you will dismiss the case between the Hiltons and me.”The judge's expression changed.Joseph continued.“And I don't want you to leave any possibility for the Hiltons to take the matter to court again. I want the case finished completely.”Judge Steven immediately shook his head.“That is against the law.”Joseph's smile disappeared.“I don't care.”“You cannot force a judge to give a verdict under pressure.”“I said I don't care about the damn law.”Joseph walked closer to the desk.“You have two choices. You can follow the law and wat

Raymond could not understand why his father was asking him to give the money back to Joseph.Everything about the situation confused him.He had won the thirty million dollars fairly. He had taken the risk, played the game, and walked away with the money. He had even spent part of it because he believed it was finally his chance to change his life.Yet his father was now standing before him and telling him to return every penny.Raymond wanted to argue. He wanted to ask his father why he was taking Joseph's side.But no matter how confused or angry he was, there was one thing he could not bring himself to do.Disobey his father.Raymond had always respected Judge Steven deeply.With a reluctant sigh, he turned around and walked out of the office. A few minutes later, he returned carrying a large bag. He dropped it onto the floor beside the desk.Joseph looked at the bag and snorted.“So you have been walking around with my thirty million dollars in your trunk as if it were nothing?”R
