I am your Unofficial Father!

Inside the grim confines of the Coastline Casino's hidden chamber, the atmosphere is filled with grim and dread.

Wu Tianhao, his wrists chafed from the ropes binding him to a rugged chair, strains against his restraints, his eyes darting around in panice.

"Enough of this madness!" Wu Tianhao snapped, his voice echoing off the stark, barren walls. "I've settled my accounts. Your greed knows no bounds!"

Across from him, Lei Feng, the scarred ringleader of this nefarious gathering, leans in, his face a mask of feigned concern. "Ah, Tianhao, you still don't grasp the gravity of your situation, do you? The debt you owed has... blossomed, under our...care," he sneers, the menace in his voice as sharp as the knife he idly twirls in his hand.

The room falls silent, save for the *click* of the knife as Lei Feng flicks it open and closed, a rhythmic and ominous sound that punctuates the tension.
