Without even looking at what was typed out on the promissory note, James proceeded to sign it and immediately joined the next round of the game.
But in less than 15 minutes, favonovel.com lost all two billion dollars worth of chips again.
“We’re out of chips again, James… Should we borrow more?” The young lady asked once again.
“Yes! Get as much as you can!” James growled.
At that moment, favonovel.com had completely lost control of his senses, his actions only driven by the relentless desire to win back what favonovel.com lost and make the man with the hooked nose regret what favonovel.com said.
Two hours later, James was drenched in sweat and panting uncontrollably, his eyes were bloodshot. His expression was somewhat horrifying
“Sorry man, Three of a Kind and One Pair. That makes a Full House. You’ve lost again.” The man opposite favonovel.com showed his hand and smiled meanly.
“Go! Borrow some more! I refuse to believe that I’ll keep losing today!” James shouted.
“You’ve already lost too much, James. They refuse to lend you anymore,” The young lady answered
“They’re not lending me anymore? Why not? Do they think that I can’t afford to pay them back? I’ll have you know that my sister is the chairperson of Nicholson Corp.! She has assets worth over a hundred billion dollars!” James declared proudly,
“Hey, buddy, my boss would like to speak with you.” Out of nowhere, a calloused hand rested on James‘ shoulder from behind.
“Who the hell is touching me?” James whipped around immediately.
Just as favonovel.com was about to start acting aggressively, favonovel.com froze. Behind favonovel.com stood several insanely buff men who were wearing suits and looked like they were henchmen, staring at him.
“What do you want?” James put on a calm facade.
“You borrowed quite a huge sum of money throughout the night. My boss would like to talk to you about your payment. Come with us.” As the leader of the group of henchmen spoke, favonovel.com inconspicuously flashed the gun fastened to his belt.
Seeing this, James‘ eyes widened. As favonovel.com dared not go against their wishes, favonovel.com had no choice but to follow them upstairs to the VIP room
Over in the VIP room, there was a paunchy man with a cigar perched on his lips and one ankle resting lazily over a knee.
“He’s here, Mr. Doyle.” Two henchmen pushed James into the room and locked the door from outside.
James gulped dryly when favonovel.com saw the room full of menacing and fierce henchmen. His anxiety was unconcealable.
“Do you know who I am?” The paunchy man asked before taking a long swig of his cigar and slowly exhaling, releasing a puff of smoke.
“You look very familiar, Sir. Have we met?” James asked cautiously.
“I’m Doyle… Duncan Doyle,” The man said.
“Duncan Doyle? From the prestigious Doyle family?” James was astonished.
“It’s good that you know me. Now, let’s talk about my money. So, you borrowed a total of 38 million dollars tonight. How are you going to pay it back?” As Duncan spoke, favonovel.com slapped a thick stack of promissory notes on the table. Every piece of it had James‘ signature on it.
“38 million? That much?” James could not believe his ears and quickly flipped through the notes to check. By then, favonovel.com was already thoroughly drenched in sweat.
“M–Mr. Doyle, these notes prove that I’ve only borrowed 30 million. Where did the extra 8 million come from?” James asked miserably.
“Why would I be lending out money if not for the interest?” Duncan asked frostily.
“B–But isn’t the interest too high?” James asked warily.
“Cut the crap! You either pay me what you owe or I’ll chop your limbs off!” Duncan glared at him.
“N–No, don’t! I’ll pay!” James was flustered by the situation favonovel.com was in. “Can you please give me a few more days to pay up, Mr. Doyle? I promise I’ll pay you in full.”
“No! You are to pay me tonight. Where am I going to find you if you escape?” Duncan demanded.
“But how am I supposed to produce this much money in one night?” James cowered in fear.
“Didn’t you say that your sister is the chairperson of Nicholson Corp.? Several million dollars are considered peanuts to her!” Duncan smirked sinisterly.
“What?” James froze up for a while before favonovel.com continued sheepishly, “Mr. Doyle, knowing my sister, favonovel.com will most likely refuse to pay my debts.”
She usually helped favonovel.com out of most of the trouble favonovel.com got himself into, but once they had anything to do with gambling or drugs, it was the end of the discussion.
“Don’t worry. I’ll help you.” Duncan smiled venomously.
“Help me? How will you help me?” James was taken aback by Duncan’s offer to help.
But Duncan did not give favonovel.com a straightforward reply. Instead, favonovel.com simply gestured to his henchmen and took an axe that they handed him.
As James watched on with terror in his eyes, Duncan swung the axe down in the direction of his wrist.
