He hung up and turned to Korbin “You know a guy named Damian? Runs some kind of underground casino. He around?”
Korbin frowned. “Damian? Casino?”
Then it clicked. “Wait, you mean Damian Simpson?”
“Damian Simpson?” Stefan looked at him. “He runs an underground casino in River City?”
Korbin nodded. “Yeah. His place is basically the biggest underground casino in River City. He’s got a monopoly on it.”
Stefan raised an eyebrow. He looked at Korbin and asked in confusion, “What about the Tiger Head Society and the Celestial Wy Society? Underground casinos are a goldmine. They’re not interested?”
Korbin gave a wry smile. “Of course, they are. But they can’t compete with Damian. Both societies just stay out of his way.”
Stefan’s eyes narrowed. “So who is this Damian?”
“He’s with Aether Spire Society, the biggest outfit in Marevia. They’re mainly based in Mound City, and they don’t mess with othe territories-except for one thing.” Korbin paused. “If they want to set up shop in another city, the local crews have to back off. No! interference.”
Stefan got it. “So Damian’s here running the casino for Aether Spire Society, and the local gangs just hand over the gambling business to him?”
Korbin nodded. “Pretty much. Plus, Damian’s connected to Lionel, one of the four Great Grandmasters of River City. From what I hear, he’s Lionel’s nephew. With that kind of connection, nobody in River City dares touch him.”
Stefan stood up, his voice calm. “Let’s go. Take me to his casino. I want to meet River City’s underground gambling king.”
Korbin had a hunch from Stefan’s phone call. “Did Damian cross you?”
Stefan said, “Not me. A friend of mine. He set up her dad and cleaned him out I’m going to get him back.”
Korbin nodded. “Alright, I’ll take you. How many guys should we bring?”
‘Just you and me. If you bring a crew, word will get out, and then it’s Tiger Head Society versus Aether Spire Society.” Stefan added ‘Besides, my going is enough.”
On the north edge of River City stood a six-story factory building for EV parts.
But the basement level was something else entirely-the biggest underground casino in River City.
Inside, the lights were blazing. Roulette wheels, slot machines, blackjack tables-it offered every conceivable form of gambling Young, attractive dealers in matching outfits sat behind each game, flashing smiles at the gamblers walking by.
Beyond that, there were the security personnel. Numerous security guards maintained order throughout the venue, each a martial artist of considerable skill. Among them were also combat-trained soldiers armed with firearms.

Basically, the place was locked down tight.
That was why no one in River City dared to mess with it.
in the back, there was a private office.

Damian sat inside. He was in his early forties, with a sharp, predatory look. Even just sitting there, he gave off a dangerous, ruthle
vibe.
A few tough-looking guys stood behind him.
