Astral Vision

When Mr. Cooke showed up, everything suddenly made sense to Clarence.

Clarence looked at Mr. Cooke. "Did you set me up?"

"I set you up?" 

Mr. Cooke laughed in disdain and shook his head. "Clarence, who do you think you are? Do I need to set you up? You're overthinking."

Mr. Cooke had an arrogant look on his face. "I'm just here by coincidence, and I ran into your father-in-law. He was so focused on rock gambling that he lost one billion dollars in one go. So, I asked Ms. Houston to call you over to gamble with me. 

"Frankly speaking, this is quite the surprise! You really want me to set you up? Who do you think you are? You're just useless scum who relied on Leah to save you. If I wasn't scared of that maniac, I'd have crushed you with just one finger."

Mr. Cooke sounded very arrogant.

He did not hide his true feelings from Clarence.

He had the Cookes in Beth City behind him, so he had an unlimited supply of confidence.
