After kissing her younger brother on the forehead, Lara headed to Jackpot to thank the owner and update him on Don’s condition. Sitting at a table set apart from the games in the corner of the bar, Jack Fortuna, the casino’s owner, was waiting for her. The meeting between the two was emotional.
From a brief look at Jack’s actions, one might think he was a man without scruples, but in reality, he never forced anyone to spend their time in the casino. In fact, that was the main reason he implemented the rule that anyone who left could not return.
Zeke watched curiously from a distance, not understanding why Lara was speaking with that man. It was not as if they were friends, but the agreement had been made between them. Intrigued to learn more about Jack, Zeke slowly approached, looking Jack Fortuna directly in the eyes.
While Zeke stayed at his table observing and trying to figure out something about the man in front of him, Lara explained to Jack Fortuna about the doctor who had saved Don’s life and confessed that Don could die at any moment due to his heart problems. The agreement between Lara and Jack was over, so she could no longer participate in the games to persuade him to help.
Instead, Jack offered Lara the chance for her partner to get involved. The players’ data had been gathered in great detail, and he noticed that Zeke’s heart might be compatible. Despite his chaotic lifestyle, Zeke was in perfect health.
Finally, Zeke stopped at their table and thanked Lara for giving him the opportunity to gather information about the place, or at least what he was allowed to learn.
The final game was about to begin. Who would win, the king of casinos or the loser of games of chance?
