Chapter 676


    Darnell answered in a cold tone, “If you lost, you have to leave your eyes here.”


    The mobster was frightened. When he was about to stand up, he got pressed.


    He turned around, only to see the man who quickly removed his gun just now.


    Darnell said, “Come on. Don’t waste time. There’s a long line behind you.”


    Right after he finished speaking, the mobster was dragged to stand up by the man behind him.


    The mobster was about 6 foot 5 and never lost in a fight. However, he couldn’t even fight against the


    man who was half-head shorter than he.


    He wondered who those people were.


    The mobster stood while trembling. “What... What to y?” he asked.


    Darnell’s fingers knocked on the table. “Up to you.”


    “Draw three cards andpare the points together.”


    Darnell raised his thin lips and pushed the deck to the mobster, hinting at him to draw first.


    The mobster checked the cards carefully. After confirming there was no special mark, he turned the


    cards over and drew three cards quickly.


    When he was in the casino, he always yed such a game with others.


    When the opponent lost a few points, he would cut the same number of fingers of the opponent.


    He had never expected that he would be the threatened one today.


    After he finished drawing, Darnell drew three cards randomly from the cards in front. Then he raised his


    hand to hint at the mobster to show his cards first.


    The mobster inhaled deeply. Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, he licked his fingers and slowly


    turned one card up.


    It was ten.


    Since they wereparing the points, ten was the biggest. Jack, Queen, and King were all null, which


    meant zero points.


    Seeing it was ten, the mobster rxed a bit. Shaking off the sweat from his hand, he looked over at


    Darnell, watching Darnell show his card.


    Darnell slightly moved his slender fingers and turned over the first card.


    It was an Ace, meaning only one point.


    The mobster was quite delighted. Hiscent smile revealed his confidence that he would win.


    His partners also cheered for him while watching nearby.


    The mobster, now more assured, turned over the second card.


    However, it was a King.


    The mobster was taken aback. On impulse, before Darnell turned up his card, the mobster flipped over


    the third one.


    It was a joker.


    That meant he had two cards with zero points.


    Hence, he had ten points in total.


    The mobster held his breath, looking at Darnell with still a ray of hope.


    He hoped that the total points of Darnell’s cards couldn’t reach ten points.


    Under his gaze, Darnell turned over his second card.


    It was two.


    The mobster’s heart jumped back to his chest. Heughed aloud.


    However, a few secondster, he couldn’tugh anymore when seeing Darnell’s third card.


    It was eight. Hence, Darnell got eleven points in total.


    Coincidentally, he got one point more than the mobster.

    “No! It’s impossible! You cheated!” the mobster yelled.


    Darnell tossed the cards back and said tly, “Leave your eyes.”


    When the mobster was about to resist, “Bang!” his knee got a shot.


    Other mobsters also started shooting.


    However, before they shot, Darnell’s men acted quickly.


    They shot the mobsters on their wrists, making them exim in pain along with the gunshot.


    Darnell said, “I intended to give each of you a chance to gamble with me. Now it’s not necessary."


    While howling, one of the mobsters asked through gritted teeth, “Are you... Are you Master of


    Riverside?”


    “The gamble is over. You won’t get any award even you’ve guessed it right.”


    “We... We had no grudge against you. Why do you...”


    Darnell snorted. “No grudge? You’ve robbed my cargo ship. Now I just want to get back my own stuff


    as well as the interest from you. Is there anything wrong?”


    “We didn’t know it was your ship. Our employer prepared ahead. We just...”


    Darnell stood up and asked in a cold tone, “Who is your employer?”


    “We... We don’t know. You should know our rules. We’re paid to work and will never look into the


    employer’s information.”


    The talkative mobster alsoy on the floor and echoed, “We are just paid to work. We truly... don’t


    know...”


    Before he finished speaking, he fainted in pain.


    Right then, one of Darnell’s men rushed in and reported solemnly, “Excuse me, Master. Something


    happened in Riverside City.”


    ...


    Two dayster, When Ste had just sent hertest design drafts to Sherry, she saw a news pop on her


    phone screen.


    She saw Riverside City on the title, so she tabbed to read it.


    Ste stood up immediately after ncing at the content.


    Several elders of the James family were found dead in their houses two days ago. They died miserably,


    and the scenes were quite bloody.


    Those elders usually didn’t go out. The only ce that they often went to was the ancestral hall of the


    James family. The suspect who had the biggest grudge with them was Darnell, who was getting rid of


    the outdated rules of the family.


    However, when they were dead, Darnell happened to have left Riverside City. No one knew where he


    was.


    There was a family rule of the James family– none of their family members could leave Riverside City.


    However, Darnell didn’t obey it at all.


    Hence, he was even more suspected.


    After the elders were murdered, all their families gathered together, unwilling to bury them. They put the


    dead bodies in the mourning hall, forcing Darnell to give an exnation.


    Even Hilbert spoke on Darnell’s behalf, but he failed to calm them down.


    Since those elders were quite famous and respected in Riverside City, there were a lot of discussions


    about their death.


    However, Darnell didn’t show up at all, nor did he exin this incident.


    Gradually, all people believed that it was he who had killed those elders.


    When reading the news, Ste gripped her phone tightly. Suddenly, she recalled that rence told her


    half a month ago that the mobsters who attacked William were the same ones who robbed the cargo


    ship of the James family.


    She guessed that Darnell must have left Riverside City to deal with this matter.


    However, after Darnell went out of town, several elders in his family were murdered. Darnell was


    suspected the most because he wasn’t in Riverside City and couldn’t exin himself.


    Firstly, William was attacked. Then she and rence arrived in London. Later, rence got the clues


    and contacted Darnell, who left Riverside City to deal with the mobsters. Finally, the incident happened


    in Riverside City.


    All of those matters...


    Ste didn’t think they were coincidences.


    She suddenly felt a chill down the spine, wondering if those people who had murdered the elders were


    the ones that worked with Joanna and drugged Noah.


    What on earth do they want? Or, who on earth was their target?


    Ste immediately unlocked her phone screen and dialed Archer’s number.


    His phone was off.


    She paled, feeling as if all her strength had been drained.


    Ste tried to calm down and called Ms. Anderson.


    Her phone was off as well.


    Ste closed her eyes, gritting her teeth tightly. She tasted blood.


    With thest calmness, she called Channing.


    The call was through finally.


    Before Channing spoke, Ste said, “Chan, go to find Maxwell now. Then pick up Sherry and ine.


    You must stay together. Before I call again, you can’t go anywhere.”
