‘She’s actually in Morro!‘What kind of mission would the Divine Constabulary have here?’ Alex wondered while he looked at the woman. Alex gazing at the woman immediately made her unhappy. She had glared at him previously on the plane, and so she walked directly up to them.“Ah! It’s that ruthless, violent woman!”When Thea saw the woman walking toward them, she hurriedly hid behind Hubert. She had thought that the woman wasn’t satisfied with hitting her on the plane and was planning to hit her more.She was so frightened that she screamed out, “Y-You, don’t come here! I’m telling you, I have the backing of Missouri’s Colemans…”However, the woman wasn’t looking at her. Instead, she rushed forward and grabbed Alex by his clothes. “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman? If you stare at me again, I will dig your eyeballs out.”Alex felt it more deeply that there was some familiar connection with this woman upon their close contact. He plastered on an
“Ugh, this… I really didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t know that there would only be one bed.” Cheryl covered her face with her hands, not daring to lift her head. “Should I get another room instead?”“You don’t have to!” Alex pulled her in, and looking at the embarrassed look on her face, it was impossible to say that his heart and mind weren’t thinking of anything at all. However, he forced those desires down and said in a low voice, “It’ll be fine for just a night. I feel that it won’t be a peaceful night, anyway. That woman just now, do you know who she was?”“Huh? Which one? The one who beat up Thea?”“Yes! She’s from the Divine Constabulary, and she’s here on a mission. I’m guessing there’ll be some action happening here.”Cheryl obviously knew the Divine Constabulary.She had encountered them during the Triangle River Delta Medical Exchange.She couldn’t help but feel nervous and asked, “Then, you have to go to the Golden Tower later? You will be leaving me alone here. A
Once they stepped into the Golden Tower, they saw the magnificent decoration inside. It was brilliant and bright, to the point where it almost seemed like they could blind the eyes of people who came in. There were also many people coming and going. Except for a few dressed in local ethnic style clothes, the majority of them were gamblers from foreign countries.“Where are you from, and who introduced you to this place?”There were two disciples guarding the door.When they saw the group of four and the fact that they were unfamiliar faces, the disciples stopped them and asked.After they finished asking, they were surprised at Cheryl’s appearance. Both of their eyes were fixed upon the beautiful doctor, and they were almost drooling.Cheryl was flustered. This was the first time she had come to a place like this, and she felt uncomfortable. If it weren’t for the fact that Alex was holding onto her hand, she would have high-tailed it out of here in fright a long time ago. She hurr
However, Thea Stone felt that Alex’s words were a joke, and she sneered, “The Stone Gambling Prince? Then I’m the Stone Gambling Queen. The problem is, can your wallet afford the ores? How many assets did you get when you divorced Dorothy?”“Does that concern you?”Alex pulled Cherly and walked straight toward the stone gambling area.It was on the ground floor.Thea stomped her feet. She really didn’t feel like following them, but she didn’t know anyone else in the Golden Tower, and she felt the gazes of several people around her, looking at her like she was a lamb ready to be slaughtered. It gave her creepy vibes, so in the end, she hurriedly followed after them.She comforted herself in her heart, ‘I’m just going to watch them make a fool out of themselves. Hmph, what sh*tty Stone Gambling Prince? It’s best if he loses everything, including his underwear!’They found that the ground floor was bigger than they expected after they entered, and there were also more people than ex
“You want me to call you ‘father’?“Why would you want that?”Obviously, Thea was not Cassandra, and she didn’t jump straight into the trap. She probably felt that two million wasn’t exactly a lot of money.“Then, don’t make such a fuss,” Alex said. “The Golden Tower is so big, and there are so many fun things here. Why are you following us? You can head off yourself and play!”“You… I just wanted to have the front row seat to see how you lose everything you have by gambling here.”“Then, I’m going to disappoint you. Even if I bought all the ores here today, I can’t lose everything I have.”Alex then asked the disciple to push the cart alongside him.It was like he was at a supermarket, placing things that he thought looked good as he browsed around, not really looking closely at what he put inside the cart.To the others who were watching him, it looked like he was blindly guessing and choosing the ones that he picked. The more knowledgeable ones shook their heads when they
Thea jumped up in an instant. “Are you kidding me? I didn’t make a bet with you. The bet was between Alex and I. What has that got to do with you?”The female attendant shook her head. “But, you made that bet while in the Golden Tower, so you have to follow the rules of the building! If you’re not willing to admit your defeat, then you can leave a hand behind. Whether it’s your left or right, the choice is entirely up to you.”As she spoke, she beckoned to something at the side.Immediately, a security guard of the Golden Tower came over. He had a fierce look upon his face, and a sharp machete in his hand.Thea was frightened to the point she almost peed her pants.She hurriedly shouted, “I admit my loss. I am willing to admit my defeat! I can still fulfill the agreement, right?”As she said that, she immediately knelt in front of Alex and loudly shouted, “Father, father! I admit defeat. Please don’t let him cut off my hand!”Alex chuckled lightly, then nodded to the attendant.
Having a second piece of emerald from the ores was considered to be good luck.Then, the latter ones couldn't be explained away with luck.It was more absurd and strange. The exploding cheers had long since attracted the onlookers present, and everyone couldn't believe their own eyes. It felt like an illusion, but every single person here couldn’t be hallucinating the same thing. So, it must be real.The attendant from the Golden Tower was stunned.The service boy and the security guard were also stunned.Having worked here for so long, they had never seen anything like this happened before. Especially that service boy, when he thought about what Alex had said, he felt horrified.‘Could it be that he could see whether or not there was an emerald inside the ores?’What other explanation was there for this magical scene right in front of him?It didn’t take long for all the ores in the cart to be cut open, and all of them were in the green. Even if it wasn't emerald jadeites, t
The security guard immediately retreated quietly, leaving the ground floor. He quickly went to report to the owner of the Golden Tower.***Simultaneously, the originally lively first to the third floor of the Golden Tower suddenly became sparse, and only a few people were left in the areas.Usually, this wouldn’t be a problem. However, the people from the Divine Constabulary were inside.They were here to capture the owner of the Golden Tower, Giovanni Winn.This was because the Divine Constabulary had a crucial piece of evidence that proved that Giovanni was connected to a factory that was manufacturing a new type of poison, and it was very likely to be the boss behind this poison manufacturing factory. The poison was something that had recently emerged, and it was more harmful than ordinary poisons. It was a kind of fluid that could be dropped into water for consumption, and it was extracted from a plant. It was also extremely difficult to identify and distinguish, and so far
