Chapter 218: The Twin Jokers

Upon hearing the jacketed man request a loan, I immediately raised my leg and delivered a swift kick to his abdomen.

Simultaneously, I unleashed a stream of vulgarities:

“Get lost! Let me tell you, you owe forty thousand. If you don’t repay within a week, I swear I’ll break your legs. Remember, not a dime less!”

The jacketed man collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach.

His eyes glazed over as he muttered incoherently:

“Forty thousand... Do you want to break my legs? But I’ve lost over three hundred thousand here! Only a month, just a month, and I’ve lost so much. I didn’t gamble before; it was you all who dragged me in. My wife wants a divorce, and my parents have disowned me. Most of what I lost was company funds. What do you want me to do? I can't even borrow a thousand. If I can't turn this around, I’ll end up in prison…”

His rambling was disjointed, yet I grasped the essence of his plight.
