I remained silent. Although I was indeed a skilled gambler, getting caught cheating was a consequence of my inadequacy, a self-inflicted wound. Branwen’s family had a history in the gambling industry; he should understand this principle. So why was he so furious?
Branwen seemed to read my thoughts and quickly clarified, “Brother, if it were merely a case of being caught cheating, I would accept a million yuan without question. But I doubt this venue is as clean as they claim. If it truly is, I’d acknowledge that. However, if there’s foul play, they owe me an explanation! My brother Branwen will not endure senseless brutality, nor will they make off with my family's money without justification!”
