In a shocking development that has upended the investigation into last month's deadly Valentine's Day bombing at the Grand Royale Casino, police have received a disturbing video confession from the alleged perpetrator before he took his own life.

Douglas Mercer, 32, a former employee of the Grand Royale, claimed sole responsibility for the February 14th explosion that killed Min-ho "The Ghost" Kang and injured twelve others, including Thomas Kang, who remains in critical condition at Angel's Rest Medical Center. "I want to be clear that I acted entirely alone," Mercer stated in the video obtained by authorities yesterday. "The Onyx Circuit had nothing to do with this attack or the January incident. I stole their calling cards and planted them at the scene to make my actions seem part of something bigger." The video, which ends with Mercer fatally shooting himself, was delivered anonymously to the Devil's Junction Police Department headquarters. Chief Inspector Raymond Wells confirmed the authenticity of the footage at an emergency press conference late last night. "We have verified Mr. Mercer's identity and timeline through casino employment records and security footage," Wells stated. "Forensic analysis of the video indicates it was recorded approximately 48 hours before its delivery to our department." According to police sources, Mercer's apartment contained bomb-making materials matching those used in the Grand Royale attack, along with detailed plans of the casino's layout and security systems. Employment records show Mercer worked as a waiter at the high-roller section of the casino for five months before the explosion. In the video, Mercer claimed he targeted Min-ho Kang specifically because of the Kang family's control over underground fighting rings, which he blamed for his brother's death three years ago. "I wanted them to feel the pain I felt," Mercer said in the recording. "I used the Onyx Circuit's reputation to amplify my message."

BREAKING: VALENTINE'S DAY EXPLOSION AT THE GRAND ROYALE CLAIMS KANG FAMILY PATRIARCH; ONYX CIRCUIT CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY

February 14th, 2025 - 2:13 PM

An explosion rocked the Grand Royale Casino's private conference suite during a high-level meeting between Devil's Junction's founding families, killing Min-ho "The Ghost" Kang instantly and leaving multiple others injured. The blast occurred at approximately 1:32 PM in the casino's prestigious Kingmaker's Room, where representatives from all six families had gathered to discuss recent territory disputes. This attack comes one month after the Onyx Circuit's first strike on the Grand Royale, where they orchestrated a devastating fire causing $50 million in damages.

INITIAL REPORT INDICATES:

Min-ho Kang confirmed dead at the scene

12 injured including three in critical condition at Angel's Rest Medical Center

Thomas Kang among the injured

Catastrophic damage to the Grand Royale's executive floor

Secondary fires triggered in adjacent gaming areas

Security footage from the casino shows systematic failures across all surveillance systems exactly 4 minutes before the explosion, matching the pattern of the January 14th attack. Multiple black cards bearing the Onyx Circuit's distinctive insignia were recovered from the blast site, including one deliberately placed mere feet from where Kang had been seated. This mirrors their previous calling card left during last month's arson attack. The timing of today's attack is particularly significant as it marks the first time in decades that all six family heads were gathered in one location.

UPDATE 3:45 PM: Emergency services are still working to contain multiple fires across the Grand Royale's upper floors. As with the January incident, several safety deposit boxes in the high-roller section were compromised during the chaos.

UPDATE 4:27 PM: Anonymous sources report that crucial documents regarding the families' shared territories were missing from the conference room, suggesting the explosion may have served as cover for intelligence gathering - a tactic consistent with the Onyx Circuit's previous operations.

This attack represents a significant escalation in the Onyx Circuit's campaign against Devil's Junction's traditional power structure. Each incident has shown increasing boldness and tactical sophistication, with today's bombing marking their most direct and lethal attack yet. The DJPD has established a six-block security perimeter around the Grand Royale, while the Chief Inspector has called for an emergency meeting with the remaining family heads. The Kang family has yet to release an official statement, though sources indicate rapid movement within their organization's hierarchy. Law enforcement officials note that the Onyx Circuit's pattern of targeting the Grand Royale suggests a deeper vendetta against the establishment or its owners. The Grand Royale Casino will be closed until further notice.

BREAKING: INFERNO AT THE GRAND ROYALE

Flames erupted at the prestigious Grand Royale Casino at 1:47 AM last night, forcing an emergency evacuation of over 500 patrons. Initial reports indicate the fire originated simultaneously from multiple locations within the establishment. Security footage mysteriously malfunctioned minutes before the incident. Sources report that prior to the blaze, masked individuals were seen accessing restricted areas. Several safety deposit boxes in the high-roller section were compromised. Current estimates place the damages at $50 million. This marks the third major casino incident this month, following the disappearance of $10 million in gaming chips from the Golden Dice Casino and the unexplained system failure that resulted in all slots paying out maximum rewards for 17 minutes. The DJPD has declined to comment on whether these incidents are connected. UPDATE 4:15 AM: Anonymous witnesses report seeing a Black Onyx calling card left at the scene. More details to follow...

In shocking news, it's said that during Devil's Junction's annual Wine & Food Fest, Ishika Mehra was brutally attacked. The extent of the injuries have yet to be reported and at this time, the family isn't answering any questions at this time. Along side the Mehra heiress was her boyfriend, whose name was released this morning, Gavin Scott. Chief of police, Raymond Wells, has recently released a statement on the incident, "At this time, we have no choice but to suspect that this is another one of the Onyx Circuit's attacks. Unfortunately, we still have no leads as to whose behind this group and we ask anyone that has any information to come forward." The Onyx Circuit is suspected to be behind the fire set at the Grand Royale Casino, and the group seems to be only targeting the most powerful families in Devil's Junction. The police department is offering a reward for up to $10,000 for any leads that lead to an arrest. Please contact the Devil's Junction Police Department with any information you may have.
