H.U.R.T
Casino

Steve, Beth and Sam enter the Hilton hotel. The place that Sam said was the meeting place of the Darkness group. There is nothing strange about the hotel, at first glance it looks like a hotel in general. Luxurious, classy, and comfortable. Beach scenery becomes more value for its very strategic location. It's a coincidence that Virginia Beach is the place Lexi chose to go on vacation. Then why would Pax give him parpor?

"Your room is upstairs." Beth announced. Steve did not respond, his eyes were watching, looking around for what was a strange gap with this hotel. So far he has found no strangeness at all. He also saw that the hotel visitors were mostly tourists.

"Is there a secret room?"

"There's a casino downstairs," Sam chimed in. "Four twelve, midnight, the casino will be open to certain people."

Steve nodded in understanding. "We still have three hours. I'll take a break." Steve takes the access card Beth handed him. Instead of resting, he stood up, staring out at the ocean beneath the building. The city lights look like scattered fireflies. A very romantic view if enjoyed with the lover. Hmh! Your bald lover!

For the meeting later tonight, he did not have a certain strategy that he put together to jump into the casino. Thanks to Sam, they're already registered to attend later tonight. Each participant is given a list of who will come later tonight. Darren and Austin Willson were also there. Is their purpose the same as theirs? Proving the existence of Darkness or just for fun or maybe they are Darkness? In addition to the Willson brothers, Prince Harry, the man who was crazy about Lexi was also present. It's a little confusing, what's the purpose of that guy here? The Kingdom of Madrid is known to be very clean. It is impossible for the prince to plunge into a dark world that is vulnerable to harm.

There are a hundred people listed, including Brian and the genk. Mr. Arthur Cony's. Looking at the list of people present, Steve suspects that this will only end up as a reunion event for Yalle High School alumni.

Not felt, time has shown the number 23.20. Time's prepare.

"Well, let's see what's in there?" Steve walked into the toilet. It was important for him to refresh his entire body before plunging into the mud.

The casino behind the Hilton hotel turned out to be just as big as the hotel itself. There is no light at all from the outside. It looks like an abandoned building. However, as soon as he entered the building, he found a very different scene. The room was filled with glittering lights, music that almost made his eardrums break. As he remembered, he saw there were only a hundred guest lists. What he saw was a sea of people enjoying life in a way more miserable than the way he lived.

Steve was just about to pull out a cell phone to ask where his two colleagues were. However, it was hindered because of someone calling his name.

"Mrs. Ivarez Dixton?"

Steve did not reply, just waiting for the executioner man to come to him. He immediately knew that the man was one of the workers there.

"You're waiting on the 15th floor."

Oh, so the rules are set. He could not climb to any floor he wanted and could not choose the opponent he wanted as well. Ignore about the opponent, he is not too interested in gambling.

The executioner led him into the elevator.

"Fifteen floors are exclusive floors. Allotted to guests who have abundant wealth." The executioner explained and Steve just kept quiet, not responding. Care what he is with all the wealth earned in a dirty way.

"I hope you enjoy your game, Mr. Ivarez." They had already reached the fifteenth floor in a matter of seconds. The big man then took out an access card from inside his pocket. That is, it can not go in and out haphazardly from floor to floor.

Steve scanned the floor. There is CCTV in the corner of the room facing them. It's very hard to fool him if so.

"It looks like I left my phone." I just wish my phone wasn't ringing right now. And security here is not very strict. Not checked at all or maybe later?

"I have to take it." Steve got into the elevator followed by the man. Steve again found the CCTV in the top corner.

Now they're on the ground floor. The executioner stopped, choosing to wait there.

"I want to go to the toilet. Mercedes Benz - Ener - G - Force. Steve threw the keys to his."

It passed before the executioner protested.

Steve looked back and smiled as the executioner headed for the exit. In fact, Steve immediately slipped out, following the executioner. As the executioner got into his car, Steve held the door open, pulling out a pen from behind his suit.

"I didn't find a cell phone." The executioner came out, standing in front of Steve.

"Yeah." Steve groans lazily. "His phone is here." Steve took his phone and threw it at the man. The man's reflex caught the flat object and Steve immediately launched his action by sticking the tip of his pen into the executioner's neck. In an instant, the man sprawled on the ground.

Steve immediately lifted the man's body, put it in the trunk of his car after taking the man's access card.

"You killed him?"

Steve closed his trunk before he turned to face the owner of the voice who saw the action.

"As you can see," he said casually.

"What's wrong?"

"Your question makes me nauseous" she said. "Some people are forced to be in complicated situations that tend to harm themselves even though. Whether it's an alibi, a scapegoat or for survival."

"Lantas, which of the reasons made you decide to finish him off?" Darren asked again.

"Not both," he said succinctly. The two men walked into the building. Another executioner came to greet Darren. The three of them got into the elevator. Shipped to the fifteenth floor.

"Good fun with your game, Mr. Willson, Mr. Ivarez, "the executioner pressed the access card after making sure they were safe from weapons and other objects. Door opens. And the two men compactly clucked to see if Brian was already there. Harry was there too.

"Sometimes fate is so funny, people who want to be avoided are united." Steve sat in the chair reserved for him.

One hundred guest lists, apparently in the room. Beth, Sam, looks like he's in action. Austin became their opponent and also Mr. Conies. From the face of his partner, it can be ascertained if Beth and Sam have spent enough money. The face of Austin sumringah signifies that the man won a lot.

"Don't you feel flattered sitting among the gentlemen."

"I've never felt this disgusting, Mr. Milles. Your chirping is always useless," Steve smiled a cynical smile. The dealer starts shuffling the cards and distributing them. The poker game begins.

Three games, Steve lost a landslide. Brian looked very satisfied because he had defeated him.

"You've come to give up your treasure?" His sarcasm to Darren whose way of playing is also very bad.

"I'm not good at this."

"I heard Lexi was here," Brian interrupted. That's why you're here, Mr. Geonandes?"

Harry chuckled, "Yes, he said he was going to visit me. But he's stranded here."

"Are you going to make another proposal for him this time?" Brian glanced at Steve then at Darren. The two men looked calm.

"Didn't you do the same, Mr. Mills." Harry smiled lightly.

"Rejected repeatedly, meaning that there is nothing interesting about you that can make Lexi turn her head. Stop doing things in vain." Steve opens the heart card.

Brian opened his card, smiling knots looking at the combination. He also raised the bet. Unmitigated, he risked all his money.

Darren lightly accepted the bet, as did Harry.

"How about Ivarez, you can back off if you don't have enough money."

"I'm coming" he said calmly.

Brian nosedived his eyebrows, unsure of the man's decision. King of hearts, 10 of hearts, that's the card Steve opened.

"Four of a kind" Harry opened all five of his cards. Four queen cards and two kinky.

"Wow!" Brian whistled in amazement. "What about yours, Willson."

Darren breathed rough, Brian and Harry chuckled. The man loses who only has a straight card.

"Well, I won it back. Straight flush." Brian opened his cards with curly cards with sequential numbers.10, 9, 8, 7, 6 and 5. Brian stretched out both hands, intending to scoop up all the coins on the table.

"I haven't opened my card, Milles." Steve grinned. One by one Steve opens his cards. 10 hearts, jack hearts, queen hearts, king hearts and As hearts. "Royal flush!" Steve laughed heartily. "Keep your filthy hands from my money!"
