“Mr. Clyde, don’t give up just yet! You never know, maybe the next round will be your comeback. Did you hear about the lucky guy yesterday! He was down and out at first, but then he made a miraculous comeback, one of his friends said.
“Of course I’ve heard! How could I not?” Maxwell snapped back, annoyed
Maxwell loved to gamble, and with the recent troubles back home, he thought that if he could win some money at the casino, his parents would praise him
But all the money he had brought was gone.
“So, are you still playing?”
“I’m out of money! Maxwell said, feeling a little embarrassed
“Mr. Clyde, I know a way to get more
more money. Do you want in?”
“How!”
The man whispered a few words in his ear, and Maxwell’s interest was piqued.
“Alright! Eric, if I can get the money that turns things around, I’ll make sure you’re rewarded later!” Maxwell slapped Eric on the shoulder eagerly.
Soon, Eric took him inside the casino.
There were bodyguards everywhere, all wearing black and with well–built physiques, tattoos covering their arms–intimidating
Maxwell was nervous as he stepped in.
“The quick,
Jay your respects to Mr. Preston!” Eric whispered.
“What did you say? He is Mr. Preston?” Maxwell was shocked.
He knew there were many loan sharks here, but he didn’t expect that he could meet Mr. Preston.
Mr. Preston, everyone in the underworld knew this name.
And just hearing it made people’s hearts rare with fear.
“Why did you bring me to meet him? Maxwell asked, suddenly regretting his decision
“Mr. Presion is the one with the money here. You’re lucky toy–he’s actually here. Most people never even get a chance to meet him.
Maxwell thought about it for a moment and realized this might be his chance

He was really lucky today.

Mr. Preston stepped through the curtain and emerged sizing Maxwell up with narrowed eyes.
“Theard you want to borrow some money?” Mr. Preston asked, his gaze coll
“Yeah… Tve been unlucky today. If Mr. Preston could lend me some money. I’ll pay you back as soon as I win!”
Tyler casually sat in his chair, one foot propped up, exuding a thuggish vibe.
“Then do you know the rule?”
“Rule!” Maxwell froze.
Mr. Presion gave a glance to one of his men, who immediately stepped forward. “Our rule here is simple. If you can’t pay back the money on time, you give up a limb–a leg or an arm”
Maxwell’s eyes widened in shock.
He hesitated, a chill running down his spine.
But then, thinking about the family’s debts and his desire to keep gambling, he wavered.
“Mr. Clyde, what will it be? Are you borrowing of not?”
Maxwell struggled for a moment
Eric, standing nearby, added. “Maybe you should call it quits. It’s already lost–maybe you’re not meant

Mr. Preston snapped his fingers, and one of his men brought forward a contract
for a comeback.”
“Mr. Clyde, take a good look at this. 30 million dollars, sound good? You’ve got three days to pay back the principal plus interest. If not, well, you’ve already known the rule”
Maxwell glanced over the terms. The interest wasn’t too bad compared to other loan sharks.
However, this is 30 million dollars……..
“Isn’t this a bit too much I was only hoping for a few million to win back
Mr. Preston gave him a sharp look. “The minimum is 30 million. Haven’t you noticed that our interest is a lot lower than others?”
That was trae, Cherwise, how could anyone get such a deal‘
Maxwell steeled himself and signed the contract, pressing
pressing his thumbprint on
A few minutes Later, a man arrived with several boxes of cash
“Here’s your money. Take it”
“Thank you, Mr. Preston. Thank you” Maxwell expressed his gratitude profusely.
After Maswell len, Isabel stepped out from behind the curtain.
The ruthless Mr. Preston, known for his cold–bloodedness, immediately started acting like a child when he saw her.
Boss, all done! Maxwell’s an easy target. Once

The notorious, bloodthirsty figure!
He was actually acting cute!
“Boss, rewand‘ Reward?”
Slap!
Isabel slapped him, giving him a fierce look.
“It doesn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt! Come on, hit me again, Boss!”
“Careful, or I’ll slap you into the wall so hard you’ll be stuck there!” Isabel warned.
This guy never took anything seriously.
He rolled his eyes, quickly backing off
The Boss meant business-

Maxwell happily took the money, exchanged it for chips, and headed back into the casino.
With chips in hand, he brimmed with confidence.
At first, he did manage a comeback, winning back everything he’d lost.
But gamblers are never satisfied–he kept playing, always wanting more.
The more he won, the more addicted he became.
He just gambled for an entire night.
By the early hours of the morning, however, his luck turned again, and he lost it all.
Maxwell collapsed on the floor, finally realizing the depth of his mistake.
He was out of money.
What was he going to do about the debt to Mr. Preston?
“Eric Eric, take me to Mr. Preston. He has to lend me more money–I’ll win it all back this time, I swear!” Maxwell panicked.
Eric looked at him coldly. “Mr. Clyde, Mr. Preston has already left. You can’t borrow any more money. On the contrary, y right away—you’ve already had a full day. You have two days left. If you don’t have the money by then, it’s over.”
“It’s just 30 million! Do you think the Clyde family can’t afford that?” Maxwell snapped, anger rising
“It’s far more than that now? Suddenly, a bodyguard approached.
Maxwell recognized him as one of Mr. Preston’s men
