“This is absurd! Do you realize who this man is? He is the son of the Phillips family! Think your boss can handle the fallout of offending him?”


    With a smug expression, Henry crushed the mask beneath his foot.


    “I won’t be wearing this.


    What will you do, deny me entry? I could have this ce ruined by the day’s end!”


    The guards at the entrance were about to take action, when a voice crackled through their earpieces.


    “Let them through without fuss.


    ”


    Relenting, the guards announced, “Sir, you’ve been granted an exception.


    No mask needed.


    Please,e in.


    ”


    They stepped aside, swinging the grand wooden doors wide open.


    Henry’s entourage was quick to sing his praises.


    “See? Mr.


    Phillipsmands respect.


    Even the boss bends to his will!”


    “Indeed.

    Who would dare cross him?”


    Basking in their admiration, Henry tidied up his outfit and confidently guided his friends indoors.

    But first, let’s get some chips.


    ”


    Hispanions, eager to partake, nced back at the crowd and feigned a pitiable state with expert ease.


    “We’re in this together, Henry.


    You can’t just go alone.


    Think of us, too.


    ”


    “Yeah, our pockets are empty.


    Mr.


    Phillips, you’ve got to bring us along!”


    ustomed to his free-spirited ways, Henry faced no resistance at the casino.


    With a casual flick of his wrist, he assured them, “Don’t worry.


    Stick with me, and you won’t face any losses.


    Let’s go load up on chips!”


    “Mr.


    Phillips is the man!”


    “Absolutely! Mr.


    Phillips has got clout!”


    Upon reaching the chip counter, Henry dered to the attendant, “Same as always, start me with 10 million in chips.
