Tristan answered on Shirley’s behalf. “Boss, they’ve got nothing to do with the counterfeiting operation. They’re just regular Novaland locals. Someone’s been paying them to come in and blow money at the

tables.”

“Blow money around?” Thora’s brow creased.

Tristan nodded. “Somebody hired them to gamble. All the buy-ins are bankrolled by whoever’s behind it.”

The picture clicked into focus immediately-someone was deliberately pumping counterfeit bills into the Sky Casino, using hired locals to circulate the fakes through regular gameplay.

That way, the counterfeit cash would filter into the hands of ordinary gamblers and into the casino’s own rake alike.

In other words, at least some of the people behind these counterfeits were aiming directly at the Skybound Group.

“Where are those people now?” Thora pressed.

Right on cue, Darius walked in.

Tristan tilted his chin toward Darius, his tone flat. “With him.”

Thora glanced at him but didn’t ask further-if those people were in Darius’s hands, there was nothing to worry about.

Thora turned to look at Darius. Before she could even open her mouth, he read her mind. “I’ve got eyes& Badi. Nothing’s going to slip.”

“Good.” Thora acknowledged with a nod, then caught herself a beat later, struck by something she couldn’t quite place-somewhere along the line, she and Darius had reached a level of understanding where words. were barely necessary.

Now came the waiting game.

Thora’s squad had the critical lead, but Tobias would have gathered his own intel from the bug and would be moving soon. And Roxen had her own methods and channels for running down a trail.
