Chapter 587
Darian was puzzled as he made his way to the Red Jack Club. He hadn’t been involved in any trouble
lately, so what could this be about?
Upon entering the VIP room, he saw Konnor with a young man by his side. It was a face he didn’t
recognize yet seemed oddly familiar. Approaching Konnor, he asked, “Konnor, you wanted to see me
about something?”
Konnor flashed a smile. “This is Mr. Pete. He’s looking for you.”
Pete got straight to the point, “I’m trying to track someone down.”
“If it’s someone on these streets, I know it,” Darian boasted. “Who are you looking for?”
“Robbie,” Pete replied.
Darian’s expression shifted at the mention of the name.
Pete noticed the change. “What’s the matter, Darian? Is this a tough ask?”
Darian was silent for a moment.
Konnor prodded, “Darian, what’s going on, man?”
Darian confessed, “Konnor, you don’t know the half of it. Robbie owes me one hundred thousand. I had
him cornered, but then someone vouched for him. They made me promise not to spill his whereabouts,
and I agreed. A man’s word is his bond around here.”
And to make matters more complicated, Darian was under Hughes’ thumb.
Pete offered a deal, “Name your price, Darian. I’ll make it worth your while.”
But Darian was in a bind. He had taken Hughes’ cash, promised him a favor, but now, if he sold Robbie
out to someone else, he’d be done for in this town. Cursing Hughes under his breath for leaving him
this mess, he lamented that Hughes had taken Robbie off his hands for a hefty sum, leaving him with
this dilemma.
“Dude, I can’t,” Darian finally said. “I made a promise...”
Konnor beckoned, “Come closer, Darian. Tell me.”
Darian whispered Hughes’ name into Konnor’s ear.
Konnor’s demeanor immediately turned grave. “Pete, I’d like to help you out, but I’m in a tough spot
here too.”
Pete felt a chill. Who was this person that even Konnor was wary of?
“Konnor,” Pete pressed, “I’ll hand back the South Bright District’s underground casino to you if you tell
me where Robbie is.”
Now, with Pete needing a favor from Konnor, he was willing to give up that lucrative piece back.

Pete rose to his feet. “Two days max, Konnor. I can’t wait any longer.”
This was urgent. Unable to find Robbie, Pete couldn’t find peace for even a second.
