A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1286

Chapter 1286 

Next, they needed to think about the inside information. Not everyone can gain entrance to Ace; one must receive an invitation card issued by Ace and directions to a specific location. 

Of course, not everyone who gets an invitation from Ace chooses to go. Some wealthy gamblers, however, are drawn by curiosity. In Robin’s words, once you reach a certain level of wealth, life can seem devoid of meaning; only spiritual stimulation can bring joy. Conversely, when one is destitute, only the acquisition of endless riches can provide satisfaction. 

As for how members of Siren Organization infiltrated Ace, it’s because Ace knew that most members of Siren Organization came from prominent families. They had distributed invitation cards to many such individuals long ago, hoping to randomly locate members of Siren Organization. Mr. Penrod sent in those who had received an invitation card in batches to infiltrate Ace.. 

People like Bernard, Evan, and Caleb were specifically targeted by Ace. However, they didn’t pay much attention to this prior to the mass killings. At that time, even Mr. Penrod and the rest of Siren Organization were unaware of Ace’s true purpose. They only knew of an entertainment venue for the wealthy and gamblers called Area Opaca, codenamed Ace. It was only after Ace initiated large-scale killings that they realized Ace’s true intent was targeting them.. 

After accepting an invitation, Ace would secretly observe the invitees at designated locations. Once Ace confirmed an invitee as trustworthy, they would be drugged unknowingly. 

Upon entry, invitees usually found themselves in an empty room controlled entirely by electronic devices. No one would appear, not even during the deadly games. However, Evan mentioned that a man in black would appear during the final round to escort those destined to die. 

Before the games begin, à mechanical voice would explain the rules and the win-or-lose mechanism. After the briefing, individuals could choose to leave or stay. Those who chose to stay had to follow Ace’s commands. Ace wouldn’t kill randomly; only the losers would face brutal punishment. 

The games were divided into sections, and invitees could choose their preferred section. However, once a section was chosen, they had to clear all the games within it. If someone entered the door of death and survived, they could continue with the remaining games until the final round. Only then could they decide to leave or challenge games in other sections. Few could make it to the final round. 

Moreover, those who survived and exited had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, under threat of assassination. This is why members of Siren Organization were unaware of Ace’s initial purpose before the killings began. Additionally, the victors who survived were drugged before being let out, so nobody knew the actual location of Area Opaca.
