    “This…this…” Linda was drenched in sweat at that moment.


    Throughout the years, she hadmitted numerous heinous acts. The number of lives she had destroyed was beyond her reckoning.


    Gambling, in essence, was a bottomless pit capable of consuming everything. Some individuals fell into this pit willingly, while others were dragged in along with their entire families.


    Yet, Linda had never once cared about the fate of her victims. To her, this was simply a way to make a living. How could she possibly seed if others didn’t lose?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As a result, she had never felt an ounce of guilt over the lives she affected.<fn25ad> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? fin?novel</fn25ad>


    Charlie could see straight through such people.


    Individuals like her were among the most ruthless and cold-hearted in existence.


    She thrived by draining the life out of others, indifferent to whether they would survive her predatory ways.


    Charlie had no sympathy for such characters.


    With a yful expression on his face, he looked at Linda and said, “Alright then, let’s y a few games together.”


    Linda was taken aback and asked, “Mr. Wade, what do you want to y?”


    Charlie responded, “I’m not familiar with gambling. I don’t know how to y poker, mahjong, or anything else. The only game I know is rock-paper-scissors.”


    Linda, puzzled, inquired, “You want to y rock-paper-scissors with me?”


    Charlie nodded and said, “Yes, I want to y rock-paper-scissors with you. We’ll wager ten million dors on each game. What do you think?”


    “This…this…” Linda felt a wave of anxiety. “Mr. Wade, I don’t dare to y against you…”


    Charlie insisted, “You’ll y whether you want to or not!”


    Linda reluctantly nodded and replied nervously, “Alright then. I’ll do as you say, Mr. Wade…”


    She then asked, “Mr. Wade, are we ying now?”


    Charlie smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we’re not in a hurry. I need to prepare to cheat before we start.”


    “Prepare to cheat?” Linda was taken aback.


    Charlie grinned and asked, “You don’t understand? Just as you made all those ns to cheat my mother-inw out of her money, I’m going to do the same to win all of yours today.”


    “Ah?” Linda was even more confused.


    How could Charlie possibly cheat at rock-paper-scissors?


    She had spent a lifetime deceiving others, yet she couldn’t fathom how someone could cheat in a simple game like this!


    Was he going to deliberately dy his response? Would he wait to see what she yed before revealing his hand?


    But that seemed so low and underhanded, didn’t it?


    Before Linda could figure out Charlie’s n, he suddenly seized her right hand, straightened all five fingers, and snapped them simultaneously. Crack!


    All five of her fingers broke at once!


    Linda screamed in agony, but Charlie wasn’t done yet; he lifted her left hand and snapped all five fingers on that hand as well.


    Linda could no longer control any of her fingers; they hung limply, distorted and unnatural.


    At this point, Charlie calmly said, “Now that your hands are in that state, I’ll assume you’re showing paper by default. To form a rock, you need to curl your fingers into a fist, and to show scissors, you must create a V shape. Do you understand?”


    Linda cried out, “Mr. Wade, all my fingers are broken! How can I possibly show rock or scissors now?”


    Charlie replied with disdain, “That’s not my concern. It’s irrelevant to me. After all, when you swindled others out of their money, you ensured they had no chance of winning. Today, I’m simply giving you a taste of your own medicine! This is what they mean by treating others as you would have them treat you.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
