Amid the chaos, one could barely hear the unmistakably crisp sound of bone breaking.
The young man clutched his arm and screamed in agony.
His arm had been broken in several locations by the men in black.
His white T-shirt was soon stained with bright red blood.
The partygoers around him shrieked in fear and ran away in all directions.
Emmeline also shifted herself away from the chaos.
“Take him away!” one of the men in black said.
The other man in black grabbed the young man’s heel and dragged him out.
Are they Anthony Green’s men? Emmeline thought.
Could Anthony be watching my every move?
She narrowed her gaze and looked around her. Of course, she could not find anything.
A waiter came to her and asked her, “Excuse me, are you Ms. Louise?”
Emmeline said coldly, “Yes, I am.”
“Please follow me,” the waiter said and turned around.
Emmeline knew she was being led to Anthony, so she followed the waiter into the elevator.
The elevator descended to the second basement floor, and the doors opened.
The waiter said politely, “My job here is done. Ms. Louise, you can go inside.”
Emmeline looked in front of her. It was an underground casino filled with cigarette smoke.
She clutched her handbag close to her and tried to act casually while walking around and surveying her surroundings.
However, everyone in the casino looked suspicious.
“Hey, miss, wanna play?” a man smoking a cigarette said.
Emmeline smiled faintly. “I’m sorry. I’m only here to look for someone.”
“We can play a game or two. I can show you around.”
Emmeline shook her head. “I’m not interested.”
The man shrugged and went away.
