Chapter 655
"Six million... Where the hell am | supposed to get six million?!"
The factory's demand had nearly scared Charlie senseless. But even faced with that staggering number, not
once did it cross his mind to end it all. Guys like him— the ones who never took responsibility-were always the
ones clinging to life the hardest, like their sole purpose was to drag others down with them.
Suddenly, his bloodshot eyes lit up like he'd just grabbed hold of his last lifeline. He muttered to himself, voice
shaky but growing in conviction, "Wait, no... there's still one person. We're brothers. He wouldn't just leave me
like this."
Zachary had seen this coming from a mile away he just didn't think it would take Charlie this long to show up.
Now here he was, on his knees, groveling.
Zachary leaned forward slightly, one brow raised, voice cold enough to cut glass. "Charlie. Giveone good
reason | should help you."
Speople only learned when they were shoved to the edge. And with someone like Charlie, the only way to
get anything out of him was to let him squirm.
Charlie, ever the cockroach, wasn't giving up. "No, no, bro-listen, I still got money, I really do. | can make this

He fumbled with a crumpled wad of cash, shoving it toward Zachary like it was a gift from heaven. "Look, we just
need to hit the tables one more time. We win big, we flip this. Double, triple—hell, maybe a hundred times over!"
Zachary slowly stood upright, towering over him, voice low and unimpressed. "That little stack won't even get
you through the door."
The light in Charlie's eyes dimmed instantly. His head drooped. Shoulders slumped. His hands, still dangling at
his sides, trembled slightly.
Zachary turned as if to leave. "If you've got nothing else, get lost. | can't help you this time."
Charlie panicked and lunged forward on his knees, grabbing onto Zachary's pant leg like a drowning man. His
voice cracked, on the edge of tears. "Please, bro! Just givea little time-I'll find more cash, | swear! You're all
I've got left!"
Zachary glanced down at the dirt-covered hands clutching his clothes. He frowned, clearly disgusted. "Let go."
Charlie just shook his head harder and held on tighter, doubling down on the pitiful act. "If you don't help me, I'm
not letting go!"
Zachary's eyes darkened. "Fine. Go find the money. I'll help you one last time. But that's it."
Charlie's relief hit like a sugar rush. His face broke into a manic grin, and for a second it looked like he might
actually roll on the floor in joy. “I knew it! | knew you wouldn't leavebehind, bro!"
Somehow, he did manage to pull together another sum-who knows how-and showed up again, clutching it like a
lottery ticket.

He blinked hard, squeezing out a few tears for effect. "I'm desperate, bro. | owe six million. I'm drowning."

Charlie waved his hand, too excited to care. "That's fine! It's okay!"
