"Heist?"
Hearing this, the corner of Seraphina's lips curled upward. Her expression only heightened Jack's building excitement. He hadn't done this in years hence, he craved to do his former source of income.
Riggs, on the other hand, scanned through the doc_u_ments as he already had the vague ins and outs of the casino. After all, he was observant at that time when Seraphina dragged him to play in her stead. To his surprise, a small card was clipped along the files; it was the business card that was left on the car after he's gambling winnings were stolen!
Clipping out the small card that had a business name, Zhang Lending Group, Riggs clipped it in between his index and middle finger as he slightly raised it to get Seraphina's attention.
"Eh? Boss, how did you get this? And why is it here?" Riggs inquired. He remembered that he paid no attention or interest in getting back his million-dollar cheque thus, he didn't keep it for future purposes.
"Saw it loitering in my car so, I picked it up." Seraphina nonchalantly explicates, she resumed for further clarification.
"Why is it there… well, they gave it to you so you can reach out to them, isn't?" Though her words were as clear as the day, Riggs couldn't fathom what she meant which caused his brows to furrow.
Everyone took their time to analyze each data and pieces of information regarding the plan. As they absorb every input, Seraphina guides them through it.
"As you can see, the security system on that Casino is top-notch; better than the government in my opinion. I tried breaking through their system alas, I can't gather enough information without getting caught. So, we had to resort to other means." Seraphina briefed them about its overly tight security and the first thing they took caution about.
"We?" Wren's brows raised catching that very personal pronoun. Venus slightly flipped her hair as she flaunts her flawless neck and shoulder.
"We means... boss and me," Venus elegantly boasted. She continued, "60% of that information came from me! Thanks to my cleavage."
"I see, so that's the mission you spoke off the last time. It's fun, I must give that to you. I wonder if you're bathing yourself with bleach." Jack leaned his back on his chair as he was done skimming through the plan. Venus arched her brows as she meekly smiled in satisfaction.
"Don't remind me of that stupid, perverted son of a gun, I'm still purifying myself."
"Recently, old man Zhang has gained access to its VVIP section but, he only or rather, other players only played once in two months." Seraphina resumed as she unhurriedly stood and took slow strides to the table.
"Oh yeah, they play a very interesting game." Venus chimed in feeling more excited that Seraphina stood near her.
"Game?" Alexander Han's brows knitted in curiosity. After all, it's the official mission that he would partake hence, he was kernelizing every written information and their words.
"Poker game!" Venus announced with an unreadable grin on her lips. Though poker was a nice card game alas, it was a normal occurrence inside the casino.
"A poker game that put lives at stake -- not theirs sadly but certain people they wanted to keep silent… forever." Seraphina clarified.
Indeed, those people put a list of names that every player wanted to take down or was a threat to them. What's amusing about this rules was it would never be traced back to the mastermind as the whole organization that set those rules would take action even before they rat them out. It was like a double-edged sword. Hence, every big name would hire an expert to play in their stead. Overall, if one won, they don't need to dirty their hands as the loser will do all the dirty work for them.
"What's interesting was, my name showed up," Seraphina added with an interesting tone. Indicating that in the next game of life, her name will be included in the bet. Yet, despite knowing that, Seraphina was rather relaxed and seemed she was anticipating it instead.
"Eh? Why would they target Luciano?" Tito who was also attentively listening was rendered clueless on those felons audacity. Knowing Luciano, any crime family that was not on good terms with Seraphina would still think twice about the consequences if they recklessly launch an attack to her. Hence, it just doesn't make sense to lay the target's name so boldly.
"Not Luciano, but Seraphina Yue," Seraphina uttered emphasizing every word with a vicious glint that flashed across her eyes.
Upon hearing that her real identity was the one that was put on the line, different expression was plastered across their faces. It contains rage, excitement, shocked, and mockery shown on each of their reactions.
"Hahahaha!" Jack cracked up after some time as if he heard the greatest and funniest joke in his life, he complimented, "Eh, boss, you sure had lots of enemies."
"Good lord, my name wasn't there." Wren heaved a sigh of relief as he patted his c_h_e_s_t.
"Avoiding picking up a fight to Luciano but was tricked to face Seraphina. Wow, I feel like I'm in the deep web. X mumbled in awe as he nodded his head.
Tito warmed up his knuckles that caused a cracking sound, "I'd like to see them try."
"Uno still in his own world." Alexander Han cast Ace a side glance who was still speechless by the whole occurrence. "Are these snacks are intended to be consumed just watching him like that?" Alex added seeing the unopened beverages and snacks. After all, it was a nice sight the ever compose Ace had this stupid expression.
"D*mn, I just wanted to play that poker game and make them kill each other," Riggs grumbled.
"So, are we doing a heist or not?" Jack inquired with a frown.
"We'll hit two birds with one stone." With a cunning smirk, Seraphina responded.
