At that moment, something shifted in Mr. Darlington's demeanor a flash of his old arrogance breaking through the mask of submission.

That was when Mr. Darlington slowly rose from where he had been kneeling in defeat, his knees cracking audibly as he pushed himself upright.

He deliberately wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, smearing the moisture across his cheek in a gesture that seemed to restore some fragment of his former pride.

Then, with a sudden burst of misplaced def

    Sophia continued speaking with conviction and passion in her voice. “And I'm absolutely sure that after what happened here tonight, they wouldn't even dare to try something like this again.”She gestured toward the dead guards on the floor, then toward the lady who had demonstrated such terrifying power. “They have learned their lesson in the most dramatic way possible.”Her voice carried certainty. “No one could witness what they just saw and still have any doubt about our family's connections and capabilities.”Sophia looked directly at each man in the room. “The evidence was overwhelming. The demonstration was clear. There's no way they could continue to question or mock what they've seen with their own eyes.”Immediately upon hearing what Sophia just said, the men in the room began nodding their heads frantically, like bobblehead dolls in an earthquake.“Yes! Yes, Mrs. Sophia is absolutely right!” one man called out desperately.“We have definitely learned our lesson!” another

    At that moment, hearing what his former friends just said, hearing them finally admit defeat and acknowledge his victory, Sophia's grandfather felt a surge of satisfaction flow through his entire body.His chest swelled with pride. His shoulders squared. A triumphant smile spread across his face as he savored this moment he had been waiting for all evening.“Well, it's simple mathematics,” he said clearly, his voice carrying authority and confidence. “Six to one. The bet was fair and the results are clear.”He gestured around the room at all the men who had bet against him. “So all the stuff that everybody placed as their wagers, you gentlemen should be bringing it out quickly now.”His tone left no room for negotiation or delay. “No excuses. No extensions. Pay up immediately.”Immediately, without wasting another second, all of the men started scrambling to produce what they had literally placed as bets.Their movements were frantic and defeated. Hands fumbled in pockets. Fingers st

    Immediately upon hearing what Sophia's grandfather just said, all of the men looked at each other with expressions of absolute disbelief and horror.Their faces showed the internal struggle happening in their minds. They couldn't believe that they were actually going to have to concede defeat. Not like this. Not in this situation.One man's hand unconsciously went to his pocket where his car keys were. Another man touched his wrist where his expensive watch sat. A third man's face went pale as he thought about what he had wagered.They had all literally bet so much. Some of them had placed their cars on the line - their precious luxury vehicles that they had worked years to afford.Some had bet their Lamborghinis, their sleek sports cars that turned heads wherever they drove. The thought of handing over those keys made them feel physically sick.Some had wagered their limited edition cars, rare models that couldn't be replaced even with money. Vehicles that were one of only ten or twe

    At that moment, nobody in the room said another word. The silence was deafening and heavy, pressing down on everyone like a suffocating blanket.The men who had been so eager to point at Timothy just seconds ago now avoided his desperate gaze. They looked at the floor, at the walls, at anything except his pleading eyes.That was when Timothy shouted at them again, his voice cracking with desperation and betrayal. “Why are you literally pointing at me? Why me?”His hands shook as he gestured wildly around the room. “Why didn't you point at yourselves? Are you not strong enough to literally take on this challenge?”Timothy's voice became higher and more frantic. “Are you not brave enough to test yourselves against this lady? Why must it always be me?”He looked at each man individually, searching their faces for any sign of support or loyalty. “We came here together! We made these accusations together! So why am I the only one who has to face the consequences?”But the other guests

    At that moment, upon seeing what just happened, how all of the guards literally collapsed while holding their necks and screaming in agony before they fell lifeless to the floor, Mr. Timothy and all the remaining guests felt their world turn upside down.Their eyes widened in complete shock, pupils dilating with pure terror. Their jaws literally dropped open so far it looked like their faces might break. Some of them started trembling uncontrollably.They couldn't believe what they were seeing with their own eyes. They couldn't process what had just happened right in front of them in broad daylight.Mr. Timothy's hands shook as he stared at the bodies scattered across his expensive carpet. These weren't just random security guards he had hired off the street. These were elite professionals.Not a single blow had been thrown by anyone. Not a single slap had been delivered. Not even a single physical confrontation had taken place between his guards and the ladies.Yet somehow, all of hi

    Mr. Timothy immediately continued, his voice growing louder and more aggressive with each word. “This cheap trick cannot literally work on me! I refuse to fall for such obvious nonsense!”He tapped his chest proudly. “I have far more experience than this. I have been in business for over thirty years. I have seen so many things in my life, even more impressive things than this little door-breaking stunt!”His eyes swept across the room, challenging anyone to disagree with him. “So this is definitely not going to work on me. Never! I know a con when I see one!”Mr. Timothy walked back toward the center of the room, his confidence seemingly restored despite the evidence everyone had just witnessed with their own eyes.“So then,” he said with a mocking smile spreading across his face, “since the two ladies who were claiming that they were literally the heiress, literally the head of the family that guards the West Gate, since they have conveniently left us, what happens now?”He gestur
