Solomon couldnât see the young manâs expression due to his fringe and his thick-framed glasses.
Nonetheless, the sarcasm in the young manâs remark was evident.
Upon hearing the innuendo in Lanceâs words, Solomon turned pale as if he was slapped in the face.
He stuttered in return, âLance, y-youââ
âThatâs enough! Just give me a break!â Sasha, who had finally come out of the bathroom, yelled at the
bickering duo with her face puckered in irritation.
Lance responded with a smirk and stopped picking on Solomon. After that, he retrieved his phone and
continued with what he was doing.
The pale-faced Solomon, who had just embarrassed himself, started stuttering, âN-Nancy, I-Iââ
âWhy donât you tell me the outcome of your visit? Has the client made up his mind to carry on with the
transaction?â
âYes! Weâll be heading over to meet him at the casino at 8 p.m.!â
Solomon shared the great news with Sasha immediately.
However, Sasha arched her brows in confusion when she heard that they would be heading over to the
casino.
Although she had never been there, she knew it was a place with an intricate network since it was a
casino in the middle of a warzone. In short, there were a lot of variables associated with their upcoming
session.
âNancy, are you worried? Itâs fine! Iâll get everything sorted out!â
âMr. George, thanks for the offer, but that wonât be necessary since Lance is around to keep me
company. If thereâs nothing else, why donât you make your way back to Moranta first?â
Nancy brought up her suggestion in a callous tone as if he was just another stranger.
Solomon felt lightheaded, for his worst fear had become a reality.
Indeed, he had shown up at Andyâs company using Prime Cloud Corporationâs bankruptcy as an excuse
just to return to Sashaâs side.
Initially, he thought things would go according to plan since Sasha was a simple-minded woman.
Itâs that rascalâs faultâhe has ruined my flawless plan!
While he was on his way out of the hotel, Solomon started emanating a menacing presence, intimidating
those around him.
Unable to keep his curiosity in check, his assistant asked, âSir, we have executed the plan discreetly.
Have you accidentally exposed yourself? How did Ms. Nancy figure it out?â
Gritting his teeth in the car, Solomon answered, âItâs not her. Itâs the rascal who has tagged along with
her!â
Lance?
His assistant was taken aback when he realized that the one who had ruined their plan was a fresh
graduate.
âWhat are we supposed to do next? Are we really leaving?â
Staring at the bustling crowd on the streets, Solomon answered nonchalantly, âGet me a room for the
night and send someone over to keep an eye on them. When theyâre on their way to the casino, I want
you to carry out our backup plan.â
His assistant immediately knew what he was supposed to do. Soon, the car departed and disappeared
amidst the busy streets.
Meanwhile, Sasha and Lance, who were in their room, got themselves ready for the upcoming meeting.
âLennie, have you gotten me another attorney?â
âMmm!â
Lance was no longer in a foul mood since Solomon was gone.
Similarly, Sasha felt a sense of relief when she knew that Lance had acquired the aid of another attorney.
Nonetheless, she couldnât help but feel anxious prior to their departure. She wouldnât stop surveying their
room when it was time to leave.
Seeing that, Lance came to a halt and asked, âIs there anything else you need?â
Sasha retracted her gaze immediately and stuttered in return, âH-Huh? O-Oh! I-I was wondering if we
need to bring along a knife or something else to defend ourselves just in case things spiral out of
control?â
Lanceâs lips started twitching when he heard Sashaâs suggestion.
Is she trying to pull my leg or something? Is she not aware that weâre not allowed to bring any weapon
into the casino? If we do so, we wonât even be able to enter the casino, let alone defend ourselves!
Lance took a few seconds to gather his thoughts. While he suppressed his urge to make fun of Sasha,
he asserted, âThatâs not going to work. However, if youâre afraid, we can get someone from the mafia to
keep us safe.â
âA-Are you sure we can get someone like that to help us?â
âWell, it depends if you have enough to offer!â
âHow much is it going to cost us?â
âAbout a million for a night.â
When Sasha heard him, she sprinted toward their room instantly. âWhat are you waiting for? I donât mind
spending a million to secure a deal worthy of ten million. After all, I still stand to gain nine million at the
end of the day!â
To his surprise, she didnât even flinch and made up her mind in a split second.
With that, the speechless Lance made his way back to the room and gathered the required sum.
As soon as they had the money they needed, they took a detour to an alley and acquired the aid of a
renowned hitman. He happened to be the best in the industry since no one had been able to defeat him.
âWhat do you think?â
Thrilled, Sasha didnât even hesitate as she declared, âI think heâs the right candidate for the job since
heâs the best! Iâm just glad that weâll be able to make it out of the casino unscathed!â
