"Take us there."

Colby's commanding tone didn't sit well with the staff member. "Sir, I've already told you, I don't have the authority..."

Colby wasn't one for nonsense. He closed the distance, pressing a switchblade to the staff member's gut. The man's face went white. Just as he was about to call for help, Colby coldly said, "Go ahead and try. Let's see if they save you before you hit the ground."

For his own safety, the staff member stiffened and stammered, "I-I'll do it..."

As he turned, Colby warned, "Don't try anything funny. I know all your tricks."

Sophie glanced at Colby, understanding he was keen on keeping his identity under wraps for now.

The noise downstairs was a cacophony. This was a huge underground casino, blatantly illegal.

Colby's expression grew darker.

Sophie frowned, realizing this must be one of Colby's operations. He was here to check if there were any issues with his place.
