I have no use for it.” At last, Logan met my gaze, his eyes filled with nothing but annoyance. “Coral, do you honestly have any idea how many people would kill to get their hands on this card? “I basically handed this to you because I trusted you. “It’s not meant to be a prop for you to play hard to get.” Turning on his heel, Logan took off. I sat there, staring at the black access card with downcast eyes. Five years ago, I was there for Logan through his darkest days when the Reed Group nearly faced bankruptcy.

Philip ignored the foreigner's words and silently turned over his hole card as well. It was an ace of spades! Instantly, the private room fell into a dead silence! Philip’s cards were the ace of spades, nine of hearts, seven of diamonds, four of spades, and three of spades. The foreigner's cards were the seven of hearts, king of spades, ten of hearts, seven of clubs, and two of spades.

“Do you want to play with us?” Hugo’s face broke into a charming smile showing dimples on both his cheeks. “Really? Can I? Please teach me. I don’t know how to play these.” “What? You suck, man.” A blush spread over Hugo’s cheeks but he endured Ponjie’s taunt. “I can learn.” “Whatever. Since you’re new to this, here. Let’s check all the cards.” The three of them got busy laying out all the cards and grouping them based on their kind. Hugo was once again amused with what he’s seeing.

, Dexter finished his drink and leave the groaning man to himself. Vendetta operates with the card system. Four head houses, the Spades, the Aces, the Diamonds and the Hearts. Each house had their Queen, King and Jack. These were the power houses of each house and handled important decisions in each house, each Queen, King and Jack having seconds that should anything happen, the house continues running and under each of them are their own members, and the remaining ten are the limbs and arms of each head house but on special occasions some people from these ten houses gets promoted into the house of Queen, King or Jack while the head of these houses gets a shot at rulling a head house.

It's incredibly strong, never rusts, and doesn't deform. It gives a futuristic edge…" Once the explanation was finished, they revealed a physical model—clearer and more lifelike than the 3D renderings. Their design, a massive ferris wheel called The Ashenford Eye, towered over all other buildings in the city.

He wanted to shift the focus before a fight broke out. The Moon card fell to Bob this time. Following a silent signal from Mason, the brute flipped his card and announced, "The Ace of Spades and the Six of Hearts... lock lips. Right now." The circle began to stir. "I’ve got the Six," someone called out. No—it was in my hand. "Ivy has the Six of Hearts! Again? You really are the moon's favorite tonight," a girl laughed. "But who has the Ace?" Mason reached for his pocket, ready to reveal the winning card and claim the kiss he’d rigged for himself, but his hand froze.
