SWNOVELS Chapter 355
Chapter 355
"Yes!" Hank nodded repeatedly. The man on the ground nearly peed his pants. "Thank you for sparing my life... Thank you for sparing my life," he muttered continuously.
It wasn't their fault for being so humble. The Stuart family was leagues above them. They might not care about the law when it came to grey areas like these, but they wouldn't dare go against the Stuart family unless they no longer wanted to dabble in this field.
In actual fact, Xavier was only so arrogant because he had told his subordinate to inform Hank about the situation before he went there.
"This casino is simply too gory. I can't stay here for another minute!" Xavier covered his nose and exclaimed in disgust.
"It can't be helped, Mr. Stuart. This is the only way the casino can attract people. It's messy, but it's also where all things are possible. Here, you can win anything under the sun, things that you'll never be able to buy anywhere else!" Hank wasn't the owner of this underground casino. He was, at most, the person in charge.
Over the past few years, under the behest of his boss from behind the scenes, he had managed the place so well that it became world-famous.
Xavier sneered. "Yes, you can get anything here. You're so brave that you even put up Stefan's wife for grabs. Anyone would think you have guts of steel!"
Hank broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. "Dare I ask... Is Stefan H Group's..."
"Exactly!" Xavier cut him off.
"Oh my... This is bad!" Hank felt the weight of the world bearing down upon him.
The Hunts were the leading family among the eight most powerful families in Beach City. In fact, the Hunt family was even more powerful than the Stuart family. These people who kidnapped Stefan's wife and tried to gamble her away practically had a death wish!
Hank kicked the man on the ground several times more. "Damn it! How dare you kidnap Mr. Hunt's wife? Do you wish to die? Didn't I tell you that you could touch anyone, save for one member of the eight most powerful families? You've gotten us in deep sh*t!"
The man took the beating while he carefully tried to defend himself. "I-I didn't kidnap Mr. Hunt's wife. More accurately speaking, I didn't kidnap anyone... This woman... She's Mr. Hunt's wife? I didn't kidnap her. She sold herself to us!"
Everyone looked at Renee, the woman in a white dress and a feathered mask, whose mouth was still sealed with tape.
Xavier was so angry that he could kill the man himself. "How dare you make up such nonsense. Stefan's wife has millions in assets. Why would she sell herself for so little?"
The man begged and cried. "It's true. I wouldn't dare lie. She asked me for 150 thousand dollars. After I transferred the money to her account, she said I could do anything to her. If you don't believe me, ask her!"
"Are you serious?" Xavier found it strange.
Renee owned a technology company and a law firm. She even got a huge sum of money from Stefan. Logically speaking, she wouldn't have sold herself for 150 thousand dollars.
Xavier walked up to Renee and was about to take off her mask when something suddenly occurred to him. He stopped.
"Stefan, you should do it... You found her first. Rightfully, it's you who gets to do it," Xavier said.
Although Xavier was attracted to Renee, he told himself to keep his feelings in check.
It was fine to make certain jokes, but he needed to know his place when it really mattered.
To his surprise, Stefan shrugged nonchalantly. "Didn't the old man say that this is your fate? It has nothing to do with me. Hurry up. She's waiting for you to rescue her!"
