On the heels of that, a loud bang split the air.
Bam!
The two men hit the doors hard, the force sending them flying right in.

Many patrons were playing baccarat in the casino right then. They all jumped in fright upon hearing the
car–splitting bang from the doors.
Whoa! What’s going on?
Everyone swung their gazes at the doors in bewilderment.
In the next moment, a young man with a frosty expression stepped in.
“Scram if you don’t want to die!”
His voice was not loud, but everyone in the casino heard him loud and clear. When he spoke, in
particular, the temperature in the entire casino seemed to have plummeted.
Oh God, he has definitely killed before!
Their hearts lurching, the patrons did not dare tarry any longer. In no time, the casino empty, leaving
only a few beautiful croupiers hiding under the tables, shivering incessantly.
“What’s going on here?”
Hendrik rushed over after hearing the commotion, followed by his group of tattooed subordinates.
The moment he laid eyes on Emrys, his pupils abruptly constricted. “Who are you?”
Without answering him, Emrys demanded, “You were the one who sent the video to my sister, yes?
At once, Hendrik understood that the man was there for Gavin. He waved a hand, whereupon a few of
his subordinates quickly closed the casino doors and surrounded Emrys.
Then, he instructed one of his subordinates, “Go and drag that b*stard out”
Shortly after, Gavin was dragged out, his face swollen and bruised. At the sight of Emrys, he cried out
excitedly. “Quick, save me, Emrys! Delia must have sent you here to save me, right?”
“Shut up!” Hendrik slapped Gavin to calm the latter down before turning to Emrys. “You should act the
part when you’re here to ransom him. How are you going to compensate me for having driven all my
patrons away as soon as you arrived?”

Suppressing the fury within him. Emrys asked chillingly, “How do you want me to compensate
you?
In response. Hendrik gave a bark of laughter.
“Haha! Fall to your knees and prostrate yourself before me in apology first. Then hand me the money to
ransom this buddy of yours.”
Emrys said nothing.
He stared at the man for a few seconds in silence before stating. “First. I’ll never fall on my knees and
prostrate myself before you in apology. Second, I didn’t bring any money with me. Third, such a piece
of trash isn’t worthy of being my buddy”
When his words rang out, the casino fell silent briefly Subsequently. Hendrik’s roar pierced the air.
“Why the hell are you here if you didn’t bring any money with you! Are you playing me for a fool:”
“I merely came to tell you that I don’t care how you deal with a piece of trash like Gavin, but stop
harassing my sister and Mr. Olman.”
The instant he said that, Gavin panicked “We grew up in the same orphanage, after all, Emryst) How
could you leave me to die—”
“Shut up!” Once again. Hendrik smacked Gavin across the face before turning to Emrys “So, this is
how you beg someone!
He pointed in the direction of the doors.
The two men in black who were standing guard at the entrance were still groaning in pain on the
ground, their stomachs churning in agony
Shaking his head, Emrys amended. Im not begging you, but warning you.”
“You’re simply courting death!”
In a flash. Hendrik’s face went as black as thunder, and his eyes radiated hostility.
At that precise moment, a burly man suddenly stepped forward and interjected, “Mr. Landry. I think he
knows martial arts. Why don’t I duel with him?”
The man who spoke was Hunter Lister, Hendrik’s top fighter and the key reason he successfully
attained his present status.
Hendrik nodded in assent. Having done so, he said to Emrys, “Don’t say I’m not giving you any
chances, kid. As long as you can survive ten moves from him, we can sit down and talk things out. But
if otherwise. He chuckled coldly before continuing, “Not only will Gavin remain here, but you must also
stay today. The ransom will be doubled by ten.”
Bam!

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Emrys streaking forward and brutally kicking his leg out at
Hunter.
While Hunter managed to cross his arms before him to block the kick in the nick of time, that terrifying
force was beyond his endurance. His arms instantly snapped, and his chest caved in deeply.
