In fact, he sounds like he's here looking for trouble. The voluptuous woman knitted her eyebrows suspiciously at the men. “Who are you guys, and what do you want with Mr. Three?”
“I told you to shut up, didn't I? Now go get me the man like I requested,” ordered Harry once again.
The woman then took a deep breath before responding, “Fine. Just give me a minute.”
With that, she turned around and disappeared into a corner of the casino.
Harry gave the policemen in casual wear a signal with a look.
Immediately, the law enforcers nodded before proceeding to guard all the exits at the premise to prevent Three-handed from escaping.
It did not take long before the voluptuous woman returned with a burly man, whose long arms were the first thing Harry noticed.
Undoubtedly, that person was none other than Three-handed.
The fearsome-looking man glared at Harry, upset that someone dared to disrespect him by calling him by his nickname.
“This is the guy looking for trouble, Mr. Three.” The woman pointed her finger at Harry.
In response, Three-handed furrowed his eyebrows at Harry. Why is he here? It's not a good sign that someone of his position visits our establishment. Is he trying to ask for more money? That can't be right because I know he's not a greedy person.
With a grim face, Three-handed approached Harry and greeted the man respectfully. “You should've told me that you were coming, Mr. Hudson. That way, I could've arranged a warm welcome for you. Come, let's go somewhere we can talk in privacy.”
Harry held his hand up to turn down the offer. “How many times do I have to repeat myself, Three-handed? Those who are underage and financially challenged are not allowed to enter the casino, so why do I still see them here?”
“Underage and financially challenged? Who are you referring to, Mr. Hudson? I see no such people here. I've already told my subordinates many times that those kinds of people aren't allowed here. They have no reason to defy me.” Three-handed played coy and looked around before adding, “Damn it! You're right. There really are underage customers here. My subordinates must be blind if that managed to escape their notice. But don't you worry, Mr. Hudson. I'll chase them all out right away and make sure they get their money back.”
Harry refused to believe Three-handed, for he was sure the man would grant those people access again the next time they return. It's time to shut down this operation.
Harry then silenced the man with a lift of his finger. “That's not why I'm here today.”
When Three-handed heard that Harry was not there for his casino operation, he breathed a sigh of relief. “If this isn't about the casino, then may I ask why you're here, Mr. Hudson?”
“Come in!” shouted Harry in the direction of the entrance before a middle-aged woman who had framed First Bloom Apparel walked in.
As soon as Three-handed saw the woman, his face immediately hardened. Damn it! How dare this b*tch snitch on me! She even brought Harry to my doorstep. When I'm done dealing with this situation, I'll make sure she pays for betraying me!
“Do you know her, Three-handed?” questioned Harry.
The well-built man quickly shook his head in response. “Nope. Who is she? Is there a reason why you think that I'd recognize her?”
“Oh, trust me. I have a very good reason for thinking so,” Harry smirked before turning to the middle-aged woman. “Do you know Three-handed?”
Just when the woman was about to tell Harry that she did, Three-handed looked daggers at her.
The thug looked so fierce that the woman instantly froze like a statue. With just one look, Three-handed had sent her a death threat.
“I... I don't know this man,” answered the woman while shaking her head fearfully.
Harry let out a long sigh of disappointment. “I see. Then I guess you'll have to take full responsibility and be sentenced to spend the rest of your life in prison.”
What? The middle-aged woman immediately widened her eyes in horror when she heard Harry.
