Salvez bursts into Damien’s room and slaps his son across the cheek. Damien doesn’t flinch but lets his father vent.“You refused the deal with Hastings?” He snarls. “What the f*ck is wrong with you?”Damien sighs and takes out a paper. He hands it to his father.“Hastings is in a lot of debt,” he replies. “The Brit has been promising to sell these shares to many people but he took their money and ran off. The shares were never sold to them. Moreover, the hospital our friend Daniel runs has been facing losses for years. Yet, he’s sustaining it. How? How is the hospital running?”Salvez’s eyes flash in anger but he doesn’t reply.“They have many donors,” he mutters. Damien raises an eyebrow but doesn’t comment.“Our interest in the hospital is going to end up in a loss,” Damien goes on. “I think Daniel is using Hastings in some way to gain more money and power. Even the Michell’s refused him.”“How do you know that?” Salvez demands. “Why did they-”“Hastings dared to hurt the mistress

Nathan is waiting in study, idly going through the information Hal sent to him. He scrolls through the map of the casino. There are no hidden places as far as he can guess but the map might be wrong.“Where are they conducting this?” He mutters. Trent and Gerald will be accompanying him to the casino albeit in secret. He needs Trent in order to hack into the security system and gain more information about the hidden place where the drug trade is taking place. Nathan puts his phone away and glances at a red box next to him. It’s wrapped with a satin ribbon, carefully gift wrapped. He sighs loudly. It’s nearly 7 PM and Halsey isn’t here yet.

“Woah!” Halsey’s eyes widen in awe. They’ve arrived at the Checkmate Casino, one of the largest casinos in the country. It’s situated only an hour away from Bayers’ Coast but Halsey has never been to the place. The luxuriant casino has a red and gold theme with the touch of Indian architecture. The building is shaped like a miniature Taj Mahal only with dark jade marbles. Several pillars are placed within the building, sturdy and smooth while the carpets are deep scarlet. There’s a large throne in the middle of the room which is reminiscent of the infamous Peacock Throne which Halsey has only read about in the books. Even the names of the different sections are named after Indian Mughal rulers.“Akbar Hall,” she reads with difficulty. “Mumtaz Mahal? The owner has a rich taste.”“A little too rich,” Nathan remarks. He’s not impressed by the grandeur because behind the glamor is a dark secret. The whole place is buzzing with guests. Prominent businessmen have arrived with their dates,

Trent is in the car with Gerald. His laptop is lying open in front of him and he inputs several codes in it, hacking the casino’s security. “This is weird,” he mutters. “What’s weird?” Gerald demands. “There’s certainly an incoherency in the map,” Trent informs him. “Look at the screen. I can see there’s movement in the public areas of the casino because there’s a party going on. But I can also see that there’s an extension of the building which is rooted deep underground. There are a few people pacing the area but this area isn’t on the map we have.” “It must be a secret tunnel,” Gerald nods. “Can you find the entrance?” “Let’s see…” Trent scans the casino on the monitor. “There’s an entrance on the first floor,” he says. “Lemme try hacking into their main system.” He navigates the commands, putting in several complex codes but the screen shows an error. “What’s going on?” Gerald demands. “We can’t hack the entrance’s password,” Trent says. “They might have upgraded the syst
