The atmosphere was thick with anticipation, each second stretching as the audience awaited what would come next.

His voice was a mixture of outrage and disbelief as he cursed under his breath, grappling with the reality of the financial stretch he was facing. "Damn it, it seems that I will go poor after this," he muttered, the weight of his words heavy with frustration.
