So, everything was going great until, one evening, the casino owner found out where Ethan lived and paid him a visit with his Triad (Hong Kong mafia) bodyguards. And because of his high profile, he had no problem entering the exclusive apartment building, as most people knew of him via the newspapers and various gun fights and killings between the various gangs. They also knew that he was involved with the Triads, extremely wealthy, and even controlled certain high level police officers.

When Ethan answered the video entry phone and saw it was Wang Xiu Ying himself, standing outside his door with a group of his bodyguards, he was stunned and went into shock. He knew he had no way of getting away and so had no choice but to open the door and let them in. The best he could hope for was a renegotiation, but he also knew he was in a very serious situation. Karina looked scared when they entered the apartment and started crying when the Chinese boss Wang Xiu Ying started shouting and threatened to throw her out of the window if Ethan didn't pay his debt immediately.

They made Ethan kneel on the floor with a gun in his mouth, watching as they dragged Karina to the balcony and opened the sliding doors. Two of his fully tattooed henchmen with shaved heads, were about to throw her to her death, when suddenly, Wang Xiu Ying shouted something in Chinese, and they carried her back inside by her arms and legs, dumping her on the floor, sobbing and shaking with fear.

He told Karina angrily what was owed and asked her if she had any way of raising the money within 24 hours?

She was kneeling next to Ethan and shook her head, then burst out crying again. So, the big boss slapped her face really hard, sending her sprawling across the floor. 

Ethan was scared to death and couldn't do anything. There were four of them, and he was being held down by two huge, snarling men and had a gun in his mouth.
