When they realized that there was just one person, they let down their guard.Just then, the tattooed man with a cigarette approached Grace."You can see it yourself. We've got the numbers. Hand over the thumb ring, and we'll go easy on you."Grace scoffed. "I see. Richard sent you.""Stop talking, bitch.

Caleb calmly instructed John, "Ask them to focus on the tournament and look forward to the bonus."He then hung up the phone."Since when did you invest in an esports team, Caleb?"
