Chapter 353 - The luckiest lad (1/2)
”Ooops, I won again. What can I say? I'm an expert in this field.” Riggs merrily boasted as he won another round of mahjong. The three other men laughed along with him despite losing a hefty amount of money.
”You really are a lucky lad.” A bearded man with a tobacco clipped in between his lips laughed as he complimented Riggs.
”Hehe, I got my millions back, eh?” Riggs bluntly uttered referring to the million gambling winnings they stole months ago.
”Hehe, young man, sorry about that…” Old man Zhang apologizes again.
[Short flash back]
Six days ago, Riggs came to his office asking for his money. Alas, since he wasn't there and the men who were assigned to guard the office doesn't recognize Riggs, a fight sparked.
Of course, none of them knew what Riggs was capable of and hence, old man Zhang arrived at the specified place with his men tied inside his office; while Riggs sat on his executive chair with his feet resting on the desk.
That very instant, old man Zhang recognized him! It was the man he met on a poker game in the Regal Casino several months ago!
”I know, though you're rather is rather late.”
”Ah, yeah, I lost my job and doesn't have a penny so I need my money back.” Riggs leisurely responded. By the looks of it, he wasn't a tad bit alarmed that the person he came looking for is a one influential loan shark.
”Oh? But, I'm afraid the damages you had done was sufficient enough for the money you lend me.” Old man Zhang scanned his messy office -- shreds of evidence of a fight that took place.
”Eh? The damages cost that much?” Riggs's face distorted as if he hundred percent believe old man Zhang's words. Since Riggs's aim has much importance and had a huge value, Riggs calculated his every moves and word. After all, he was dealing with felons with years of experience in the dirty business, hence, one wrong move and they would doubt his agenda.
Moreover, being a simpleton is his best persona as he was already built like that. He just needed to exert his brain a little for perfect terms and he's good to go -- reeling the fish in.
”Hmm, but don't forget the interest -- you said it yourself, lending MY money. Also, the medical fees when you hit my head. I almost got amnesia there you see.” Riggs pondered as he rubbed his chin.
”Hahaha! That would be fine… my accountant would handle that.” Old man Zhang smiled. There wasn't a bit of annoyance or hostility he had for the man despite what he had done to his place.
”Alright. So that settled it.” Upon hearing him, Riggs retracted his feet from the desk and place his palm on the armrest to stand. He leisurely took small strides as if he was leaving just like that.
