Chapter 1183: Chapter 1181 Advanced Animals (10)
“Interesting, it feels like it’s my turn to expose soone at the casino now.”
Ross was clearly a connoisseur. Although it was just a fleeting glance, he instantly gained a deeper understanding of Mogrim’s deferential deanor.
“Yes, it seems like everyone has finally co to an understanding of equal exchange.”
However, Fu Qian was not at all concerned about what the other party said and sat down while nodding along.
“Clearly, you two are no ordinary people, but have you really sought out Shaman?”
Ross squinted, thinking for a mont before asking.
“Logically, she should have co to you for money, right? Obviously, because she’s too busy counting her own money to have ti.”
Fu Qian provided so clarification to the other party’s confusion.
“In addition, our original goal was to find Ah Lan.”
“Going to Mogrim first and then Ah Lan… You really are fixated on Midas.”
Ross obviously knew about the list of lucky individuals.
“May I ask what your purpose is in finding him?”
“It was just a chat at first, but during the process, my employer suddenly beca interested in what you guys are doing.”
Fu Qian gestured towards Yuan Shan, who realized they were making progress and imdiately cooperated with a cold huff, displaying her stance assertively.
“Is it possible for you to explain first why Shaman is keeping an eye on Ah Lan?”
“A chat… That’s quite a normal reason. In recent tis, at least half the people in Night Holy City have had this idea,” Ross remarked in response to Fu Qian’s explanation.
“As for having Shaman watch Ah Lan, what does Mr. Xun think the reason could be?”
“To see if anyone is paying undue attention to Midas?”
Fu Qian did not shy away.
“As the last person selected to share in Midas’ good fortune, he is undoubtedly the most likely to be approached. Watching him almost allows for control of this city’s attitude towards Midas.”
“Of course, there’s another important reason—he’s easier to keep tabs on, certainly much easier than Mogrim.”
“If it weren’t for bad luck, Mogrim wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.”
Ross obviously agreed with Fu Qian’s assessnt.
It was apparent that the situation at hand was causing him significant distress, so much so that he didn’t rush to say more, but rather scratched his nose, his gaze swiftly darting between Fu Qian and Yuan Shan.
“I never would have thought that Night Holy City would have such formidable characters.”
After a long while, he finally sighed and took a sip of the drink beside him.
“The reason for arranging Shaman to watch Ah Lan is simple; I’m also looking for the person you are seeking.”
“Ah Lan is the last lucky individual, and I think the chances of Midas appearing before him again might be greater than for others. I happen to be good friends with Shaman, so I asked for her assistance.”
“You haven’t hurt her, have you? It would be a real sha if she couldn’t dance.”
This reason was indeed far-fetched.
Without waiting for Fu Qian to respond, Yuan Shan had already started to frown.
From the previous reaction, it was likely that the other party knew information about Midas.
Yet faced with the threat of a gun, after so consideration, he actually ca up with an excuse that wouldn’t even deceive a child.
Even after saying this, he still had the leisure to turn around and throw another chip.
Clearly, after deducing that Fang Xun was extrely dangerous, this gambler decided to take the bla himself after weighing his options.
It was indeed a gesture of loyalty, but at this mont, it was sowhat inconvenient.
“No worries, we’re in a secluded spot here.”
The next mont, she didn’t continue to threaten the gambler but instead gave Fu Qian a glance.
And to this statent, Fu Qian naturally understood the implication perfectly.
It was not a deliberate threat to scare Ross, but an authorization directive—no need for further talk, resolve it with Transcendent asures; she has it under control.
“Why would we? I believe today’s earnings will make Shaman fall in love with her job,” Fu Qian responded with an imperceptible head shake, even earnestly explaining that Shaman wasn’t hurt.
“Then I’m relieved.”
Ross seed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“May I know what you two are planning to do in such a ‘concealed’ location?”
He added that after so thought.
Obviously, the exchange between Fu Qian and Yuan Shan was pure superficial understanding to him—they were dissatisfied with his answer and were ready to resort to violence directly.
But logically speaking, although this place is not the busiest, it’s definitely not devoid of people. Bringing a gun in is one thing, but actually firing it here would be insane.
The way they spoke made him suspect that intimidation was mostly at play.
“Killing right here—”
Whoosh!
Ross hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by so strange sound.
The mont he realized this, he darted out like a fish.
In the midst of the loud noise, it was a crystal chandelier that fell from above, crashing onto the machine he had been using.
And the first thing Ross saw as he got to his feet was Mr. Xun slowly putting away his gun.
This guy really dared to shoot? Had he not thought of the consequences?
Also, wasn’t that too quick? How co he hadn’t even heard the gunshot?
Amidst his bursting thoughts, Ross was surprised to find that the pair who had just scared him had no intention of fleeing.
Even when a group of staff arrived, it was the sa.
…
“Did you see any conflict occur?”
The casino staff were indeed professional; after a brief inspection, soone ca over to ask in a low voice.
Clearly, they had found the real reason for the chandelier’s breakage.
Soone had brought a weapon in!
Of course, even more puzzling was the fact that even though shots were fired, nobody was injured?
The burly security chief looked like his brain was struggling to keep up.
“No.”
Ross, as the closest victim, glanced at Fu Qian and company without changing his expression and finally shook his head.
No matter how they did it, their actions were simple in aning—they did not mind shooting in the casino and even made this boring move just to make this point clear to him.
These were real desperados.
He had no doubt that if he pointed them out now, the next bullet would hit him straight in the head.
…
“When in Ro, do as the Romans do, try to solve it within the rules.”
A few minutes later, Fu Qian, who had been moved from the scene, looked at Yuan Shan with a smile.
What he had done just now was simple: he had fired a shot that activated rcy’s “Suffocate” effect.
It proved to be indeed very secretive.
What kind of going with the flow is this…
Yuan Shan was speechless too. She found it a bit hard to understand Fu Qian’s decision to maintain his persona.
“But it seems that he is still very determined.”
Although they did not follow too closely, Ross was always within their sight.
“How could that be? Although he hasn’t communicated with us, he’s already communicating with his own people, isn’t he?”
Fu Qian signaled patience.
“Mr. Xun?”
Indeed, Ross had a short conversation and then directly walked over to them.
“Midas would like to have a word with you.”
