Inside the biggest Diamond Private Room at The Imperial.
A tall, thin man in a leather jacket had his arm wrapped around a woman as he partied with his friends.
The man was Chien, who had snuck into the Asiatic shopping mall construction site last night under orders from Mr. Zabinski. He had received one million as a reward for sabotaging the construction site.
However, he did not leave the city the moment he got the job done as he was instructed. Instead, he had stayed behind to party with his friends and lover, Marilyn.
Not only had he used a hundred thousand to book the most luxurious private room at The Imperial, he had also ordered a dozen Remy Martin, which cost 5888 a bottle. Then, he exclaimed in a smug tone, "Let's get drunk tonight, boys!"
Marilyn pressed herself against him, cooing, "Chieny, I don't wanna drink brandy tonight. I want to drink wine!"
Chien shouted arrogantly, "Tell the attendant to bring a bottle of 1982 Lafite for my girl!"
He was flaunting his wealth!
His woman cuddled closer to him in pleasure, her warm and soft pliant body pressed against his.
His friends cheered and whooped loudly, one of them calling out, "Chien, you've really hit the jackpot this time if you're willing to drink a wine that costs at least 80,000 a bottle! Don't forget us the next time you have such a ludicrous job!"
Immensely pleased with the adoration and admiration he was getting, Chien puffed up as he answered, "No problem!"
Soon, a young waiter came in with the bottle of Lafite.
Everybody cheered even louder at the appearance of the legendary Lafite.
The waiter dutifully opened the bottle of wine and poured it for them. In a decidedly respectful gesture, he handed out the wine glasses individually.
As he handed a glass to Chien, he took advantage of the dim lighting in the room to flick some powder under his fingernail into the wine.
Not suspecting a thing, Chien accepted the wine glass and lifted it up in a toast.
"Cheers!”
"Cheers!”
Everyone in the room gulped down the wine.
A cold look flashed through the waiter's eyes when he saw Chien had finished the drugged wine. Pasting a small smile on his face, he excused himself.
Everyone in the private room was having the time of their lives as they partied and drank.
Suddenly, the door opened and a stocky man walked inside. He reached out to turn off the music before flicking on all the lights. The room was as bright as day instantly.
