I realized right away that Daniel had been tailing me from town and that this bag of drugs must have been planted in the truck to deliberately frame me."You asshole, you set me up," I cursed.He raised his hand and clobbered my head with the butt of his gun. "You better behave, Jack. If you resist, I'll kill you."The policeman opened the bag, poked a hole with his finger, and tasted the white powder. "That's right, it's cocaine.""Fuck you!" I yelled. That son of a bitch Daniel was so insidious.I did not resist because I simply could not. I knew that if I tried, Daniel would not hesitate to shoot me dead.Cold handcuffs were placed on my wrists as he manhandled me and threw me harshly into the police car.I sat in the police car fuming angrily and stared fiercely at him. "You're dead, Jack. Be mentally prepared to spend the rest of your life in jail, become a bitch, and get fucked in the ass!" He said with a smug.Rohan City's prisons were

"It's okay, my dad is a major shareholder of this hotel. It must be the room service that their manager sent to please me," Millie said and opened the room door.The busboy outside the door greeted her respectfully, "Ms. Brown, good day. This is our hotel's welcome refreshment cart for our VIP guests."I sighed with relief, it seemed that I was overly nervous. Could anyone blame me for being paranoid after numerous encounters with death?"Come on in!" She said.Nonetheless, I still did not let my guard down and readied my gun behind me, ready to drop the busboy without hesitation if he tried to make a move.He pushed the food cart in, opened a bottle of wine, and lifted the cover to reveal all sorts of fruits, cheeses, and desserts.At that moment, the manager of the hotel knocked on the door, came in, and smiled from ear to ear. "Miss Millie, if there is anything else you need, do not hesitate to inform us. We will only provide you with the best servic

As soon as Maggie raised her paddle, the arena immediately fell silent."98 million dollars once."No one raised their paddles."98 million dollars twice."Still, no one raised their paddles.It was as if everyone had a tacit understanding not to challenge Maggie whenever she bid for something."100 million dollars! This gentleman over here bids 100 million dollars." The scene erupted again.My hand, which was holding up the paddle, trembled slightly, and sweat started to bead on my forehead.I did not know if Lady Thevy was satisfied with the result, and I certainly was unaware if anyone else would still bid for the necklace. How should I respond if someone else raises the bid?My vision started to blur, sounds were muffled, and time seemed to slow down. I looked over to Maggie and she smiled at me with a wink. I looked around the audience and did not see any paddles raised. I looked at the auctioneer and he was mumbling something with h

This long comment explained the history of the Star of Victoria in detail. It claimed that it was not an ordinary diamond necklace and that it possessed supernatural powers.Legend had it that the Star of Victoria was created in the twelfth century. During a natural anomaly, a piece of stone fell from the heavens and landed in the backyard of a Count's house. The Count then ordered someone to open the stone. Within it, they found dozens of diamonds of different sizes. The Count thereafter made a necklace out of the diamonds. Within a few years, under the blessings of some mysterious power, the Count had led his elite knights and unified the forces that were scattered across the country and successfully ascended the throne.These were all legends and myths, therefore there was no way to verify them.However, one thing which could be verified was that the last owner of the Star of Victoria was the lone survivor of the shipwreck. Everyone on board the ship had drowned, w

Tracy felt the next day, struggling to walk.During the day I spent alone with her, I learned a lot about her. I found out that her parents died in a car accident and left behind three young children. She dropped out of school to work in order to support her younger siblings. She became a casino croupier to support her siblings because she did not have a good educational background, but was endowed with wonderful beauty. She, too, had had a difficult life.There were many people who were more miserable than she was. Since I had the opportunity to meet her, the least I could do was to try to help her. I was glad that I put the 10 thousand dollars into her handbag without her knowledge.While I was eating in the restaurant, a man in a well-tailored suit came up to me and asked respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Hughes. I am the manager of the casino upstairs. Are you satisfied with your experience at our casino?"I glanced up at the bespectacled man, who was well-manner
