Chapter 167
“Mr. Murray, we made it very clear that if you don’t repay all the money today, you’ll have to face the consequences.” Shawn emerged from behind his desk, smiling as he waved the contract in front of
Charles.
Charles widened his eyes as he looked at Shawn. “W–what do you want me to do?”
“Well, what if we send someone over to the Murray Residence with this contract and find your old
man-
“No! If you take that to my dad, he’ll kill me!” Charles looked terrified.
“Well then, we’ll have to ask Mr. Murray to repay the debt with his organs!” Shawn smiled.
“You! What you’re doing is illegal!” Charles exclaimed.
“Mr. Murray, you worry too much. In such a large casino like ours, we always encounter those who don’t repay their debts. We can’t just let that money go uncollected, or our casino will go bankrupt!”
“No, no!” Charles‘ stomach was churning, finally feeling the fear. “I’ll repay the money!”
“Can you repay it today?” Shawn asked.
“Could you give me a few more days?” Charles‘ voice trembled. “Two weeks! I’ll definitely have it by
then!”
“I’m afraid that won’t do. If you can’t settle the debt today, you won’t be leaving here anytime soon.‘
Shawn sighed theatrically. “Mr. Murray, I don’t mean to cause you trouble, but I’m just an employee following company protocol. I’m sure you understand.”
“I can pay the interest! Give me half a month… Ten days! Ten days will do!” Charles panicked.
Shawn rubbed his chin. “Well, I have one last option to propose to Mr. Murray. I don’t know if you’ll be willing to consider it.”
“Tell me!” Charles grasped at the lifeline.
“You see, there’s a time limit for repayment at the casino. So, you could transfer ten million from the Murray Group’s account to us first. Then when you win at the casino later, you can just refill that gap. What do you say?”
“No, that won’t work!” Charles refused firmly.
His father would definitely kill him if he touched the company’s funds.
“Then there’s only one last resort left! Hasn’t the Murray Group received a pharmaceutical order from the Franklin Group? We want the formula for that medicine. As long as Mr. Murray can provide us with the formula, this debt will be wiped clean.”
Shawn’s smile was chilling. “This is the only thing I can do to help Mr. Murray.”

Charles fell silent.
Shawn saw Charles weighing his options and continued, “You see, I’m trying to find a solution for you, Mr. Murray. We only want that formula for the casino because it’s worth some money.
“Plus, that formula is something you can easily steal with just a photo–no one will ever find out. Even if there are problems later, no one will suspect you, right?”
“Alright!” Charles agreed.
“Good. We need to see the formula before tomorrow night. Once we have it, the previous debt will be wiped clean!”
“It’s that urgent?” Charles felt a bit flustered.
A shadow crossed Shawn’s features. “I’m already giving you a lifeline here. You wouldn’t be able to leave the casino today without it.”
Shawn added, “Of course, your family is influential, so we’re not afraid of you running away. After all, we can still use these contracts to find your father, right?”
Charles stumbled out of the casino.
Dawn was already breaking.
His eyes were bloodshot after a sleepless night.
But with his debt weighing heavily on his mind, he clenched his jaw and headed straight to the
company.
