Defecting
Celia was so anxious that she couldn’t think of anything else, and she wanted to dash into the room after pushing Rita’s hand away. But several security guards were guarding the entrance to the room, all of whom pushed Celia to the side hostilely, not allowing her to get close at all. With a look of despair in her eyes, Celia felt extremely worried. But as a vulnerable woman, there was nothing she could do now. She had no choice but to grab Rita’s hand helplessly and ask in a shaky voice, “What should we do? Could something have happened to him? If I had known… If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let him go up against Benedict Zander…” Seeing Celia’s bizarre reaction, Rita finally realized that the relationship between Celia and the person she thought was a crook trying to take Celia away seemed to be more complicated than she thought. “Celia, do you guys… know each other?” Rita asked hesitantly. But Celia was now overwhelmed with anxiety and didn’t have the time
Full of despair and regret
Lucian’s heart was full of despair and regret!He regretted getting distracted by a few words from Benedict and ending up being threatened by Benedict instead.He regretted failing to act decisively enough and not slitting Benedict’s neck right away to avenge his friend!He was indignant!At the very moment that Benedict was about to pull the trigger of the pistol, a tiny object darted through the air like a bolt of lightning with a lingering explosive sound.With a dull sound, this tiny object punctured and pierced through the middle of Benedict’s wrist.Blood immediately gushed out!Feeling a sharp pain in his wrist, he lost all power in his fingers, and the pistol he was holding fell to the ground.“Ah! My wrist!” Benedict immediately held his wrist and shrieked in misery.Horrified, everyone in the room looked over, only to see a dice stained with fresh, bright red blood stuck in the wall near them.The tiny object that just pierced through Benedict’s wrist was obviously this dice
Go to hell!
William’s words were like a boulder thrown into a lake. Stunned by his words, they looked at each other and were at a loss for how to react. As the person William pointed at, Benedict nearly exploded with rage! “Bastard! I think you’re tired of living! Damn it. I wanted to give you a chance and groom you because you’re quite capable, but since you don’t know any better, go to hell!” Then his finger moved on the trigger, ready to shoot William! Suddenly, a cold and sharp blade was pressed against Benedict’s neck. “Stop, don’t move.” A deep but familiar voice rang beside Benedict’s ear. As expected, Benedict didn’t dare to move. As someone who had been involved with gangs for years, he could tell just from the feeling of the cold and sharp blade being pressed against the artery of his neck that it must be an extremely sharp dagger! He could even sense the chilliness coming from the blade. It was as if the dagger would slit his throat as long as he breathed a little harder! No
Mask off
“Ah!” Celia was already incredibly nervous.After hearing Benedict’s brutal threat, she immediately screamed in fright and quickly covered her mouth while a cold chill spread throughout her body.She was especially terrified because they were now on the top floor of Starshine, in Benedict’s turf, so it was impossible to even escape!“Celia, we’ll be fine.” Rita hurriedly grabbed Celia’s clammy hand that was as cold as ice and comforted her gently.In fact, she was also shocked.But she decided to comfort Celia because she thought that Celia was afraid that Benedict would also exact those brutal means on her.Rita was actually still more biased toward Benedict.Besides, she believed that Benedict wouldn’t harm her and Celia, who were vulnerable women.In the worst-case scenario, she would reveal her identity as the daughter of a notable figure in society.She reckoned that Benedict would let both of them off on account of her father.William was not the least bit intimidated by Benedic
A sore loser
“Hmph, of course I’m going to call!”Benedict gestured for the underling beside him to bring out more chips.But the latter seemed to be put in a spot as he inched closer and whispered into Benedict’s ear, “Mr. Zander, the number of chips you withdrew today has exceeded the limit…”Benedict turned around and slapped the underling on the face!“Damn it! All of Starshine belongs to me. Bring me as many chips as I tell you to! Are you scared that I might run out of cash?”The underling covered his face, feeling incredibly aggrieved.The number of chips withdrawn in a day couldn’t exceed eight million dollars, which was a rule that Benedict had set himself.The underling had reminded him out of good intentions only to get slapped on his face.However, he dared not express his anger and had no choice but to hurry outside to fetch another tray full of chips.The people waiting outside the room for the outcome of the game couldn’t help but be shocked when they saw the massive amount of chips
Playing dice
Benedict gritted his teeth menacingly and said with a furious gaze, “Hmph, I don’t need your hypocritical kindness! Let’s continue gambling! I don’t believe I can't beat you this time! This time, let’s play dice instead. Are you game enough?”William chuckled with raised brows. “Sure. If you want to change the game, I’ll comply, but let’s hope you have better luck this time!”Benedict glared daggers at William viciously.But unfortunately, William was still wearing a mask, so he had no idea who this detestable punk was.He stood up, pushed the incompetent dealer to the side, and picked up a dice cup and a dice himself.He then bellowed irrefutably, “I’m going to shake it myself! You can choose to let the dealer shake yours or do it yourself. Don’t accuse me of bullying you!”When Celia heard this, she clenched her fists and began to look worried.Benedict sounded rather self-righteous, but it seemed fair too.But shaking a dice was different from random card dealing, and the experienc
