Chapter 807

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Juan prowled the second floor of the casino impatiently.

He checked his watch for the umpteenth time. It was already 20 minutes past their appointed time, but there was still no sign of her.

A knot of worry tightened in his stomach. Debra was always punctual. He wondered if she was held up by something.

He squinted, his gaze sweeping across the bustling floor below, and finally, he spotted her. Debra, in a striking burgundy dress, moved through the crowd like a flame. But it wasn’t just her elegance that caught his attention. Shadows seemed to peel off the walls, men in black suits trailing her every step. Juan’s instincts, honed by years of experience, screamed that they were trouble.

Debra looked up, her eyes meeting his. With a subtle tilt of her head, she acknowledged the men tailing her. Juan understood immediately, watching as she ascended the stairs.

“You actually came,” Juan said, his voice low as she stopped in front of him.

Debra looked at him, but her mind was echoing Drake’s words. “Since Juan wants to see you, go meet him, but you should do everything as I say. This is our latest product, a high- purity drug. Just a little bit will get anyone addicted. If you don’t follow my orders, you know what will happen to you.”

“Debra?” Juan’s voice snapped her back to the present.

She forced a smile. “I’m here, as promised. What do you want to talk about?”

Juan leaned in, his voice barely a whisper. “Someone paid me to deliver a message to you.‘

He slipped off his watch and fastened it around her wrist. “He’s here.”

Debra’s heart pounded like a drum in her chest. Suddenly, the sound of shattering glass echoed through the casino. Men in riot gear stormed in, and chaos erupted. Panic swept through the crowd, people scattering like frightened mice.

Juan grabbed Debra’s wrist, pulling her towards the stairs. “Let’s go.”

Gunshots rang out, sending the casino into a frenzy. The men tailing Debra were

swallowed by the chaos, their shouts lost in the pandemonium.

“Tell Mr. Lowe. We’ve lost the target.”

Someone immediately called Drake. His face darkened when he heard the gunshots in the background.

“Is there trouble at the casino?” Kale asked, noticing his expression.

Drake’s lips curled into a cruel smile. “It’s Marion.”

He hadn’t expected Marion to really come to Orkgate, and with so many men, without him knowing in advance.

“Gather everyone. We’re heading to the casino

“Yes, boss.”

The central district descended into chaos. Drake’s forces swarmed the streets, a convoy of cars racing towards the casino.

Under the cover of night, Juan and Debra slipped away, driving towards the coast. The port was eerily quiet, with a private boat waiting for them.
