Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 

“They were very enthusiastic, so I drank a few more glasses.” Gordon quickly restrained the emotions in his eyes. 

“Since they wanted to curry favor with you, they would definitely be enthusiastic. You didn’t have to be so serious and drink everyone’s toast.” Sophia’s tone was filled with disdain. 

When Gordon heard this, he subconsciously frowned. 

However, Gordon did not say much. 

Sophia helped the staggering Gordon into the car. 

Then, Sophia very considerately loosened Gordon’s tie. 

“It’s not like you don’t know your condition. It’s easy for your stomach to hurt if you drink too much. You’re the Campbell family’s future heir. That group of people is just hooligans who have no job and only focus on playing games. There’s no need for you to receive them. personally. I told you before that you didn’t have to accept this sponsorship!” Sophia was still chattering beside him when Gordon. suddenly raised his head and interrupted her. 

“They’re not hooligans. They’re the champions of Calirina!” Gordon’s tone was a little stern. 

Sophia was slightly stunned, but after a moment, she immediately returned to her usual gentle appearance. 

“Gordon, I don’t mean anything else. I’m just too worried about you.” 

“My head hurts a little.” In the past, Gordon would feel very happy when he heard this voice. 

But for some reason, now that Gordon heard it, he felt that something 

was wrong. 

It was probably because Sophia’s tone always revealed her contempt. for others from time to time. 

“Alright, then have a good rest. I won’t disturb you anymore!” Sophia was very considerate and became quiet at once. 

Gordon immediately closed his eyes, but he could not sleep at all. 

Gordon’s mind was filled with the discussion about Marina’s identity online. 

Gordon had asked Tyler for confirmation at the dinner just now, 

Marina was indeed the first captain of the Night Crawler Team back then. 

Marina was actually the legendary figure that even someone like Gordon, who didn’t play games much, had heard of 

Even a big shot like Dr. Liam had to treat Marina respectfully due to her excellent medical skills. 

With her level of playing games, Marina could easily win the current global champion. 

Perhaps Gordon had been wrong all along, Marina did not need to rely on any man at all. 

Marina could casily become a queen herself. 

But why didn’t Marina deny it when Gordon questioned her previously? 

Why did Marina deliberately make Gordon misunderstand? 

Why wouldn’t Marina explain anything? 

The more Gordon thought about it, the more his head hurt. 

It was also because of this that Gordon did not reject anyone at the dining table and drank one glass after another. 

Perhaps Gordon wanted to use this method to calm his surging emotions. 

As soon as Marina got into Simon’s car, she started to feel sleepy. 

Marina fell asleep a moment later. 

Simon saw Marina like this and hesitated for a moment. In the end, Simon still took a turn at the intersection ahead. 

Simon drove toward the hotel he was staying at. 

Marina was still sleeping soundly this time. 

When Marina woke up, she realized that she was lying on Simon’s thigh. 

And Simon seemed to be working on some documents. 

Marina looked around in a daze and realized that this was the hotel where Simon was staying. 

“Didn’t you say you would send me home? Why did you bring me here again?” Marina was still a little in a daze after waking up. She did not want to get up at this time and just laid on Simon’s thigh and asked. 

“I saw that you were asleep, so I didn’t send you back. I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to sleep well without me by your side,” Simon said seriously. 

Simon did not feel ashamed at all to take Marina to his hotel while she was sleeping. 

And Marina really couldn’t refute it because she really couldn’t sleep well without Simon by her side. 

“What time is it now?” Marina finally recovered and slowly got up from Simon’s legs. 

“It’s almost eleven o’clock.” Simon looked at the time. 

It was actually already eleven o’clock? 

Marina was a little surprised. 

It seemed that every time Marina stayed by Simon’s side, the time would pass very quickly. 

Marina stretched lazily, then got up and walked toward the bedroom. 

“Are you going back? If you want to, I’ll send you back now.” Simon put down the document in his hand and looked at Marina’s back with a 

burning gaze. 

“You’re asking the obvious. I’m already walking toward the bedroom, not the door,” Marina replied without looking back. 

Simon was so scheming! 

Simon chuckled when he heard this. 

Then, Simon continued to work on the documents in his hand. 

After taking a shower, Marina lay on Simon’s bed very naturally. 

Then, Marina took off the watch on her wrist. 

Marina removed all the components on it and reassembled it. 

Marina turned it on, and an image similar to a computer screen instantly appeared on the opposite wall. 

Marina’s fingers tapped on the laser keyboard a few times, and the scene on the opposite wall immediately jumped into the most. secretive Darknet internationally. 

As the name suggested, the Darknet could not be displayed openly. 

Therefore, anything that could not be done in real life could be done here. 

Moreover, all the geniuses in the world were gathered here. As long as one had needs and could afford the money, there was nothing these. genius couldn’t do. 

Marina casually browsed through the various news posted on it. 

Then, Marina was attracted by the top post. 

“Treasure Hunting Invitation.” 

Marina had an impression of this post. It was basically the most. popular and longest–lasting post here. 

However, this post had been silent for more than half a year. Marina did not expect it to suddenly be pushed up again. 

Marina glanced at the latest reply. 

“According to reliable sources, one of the keys to opening the Akister Treasure has already appeared. It should be in the hands of a certain big shot now.” An anonymous user posted. 

“You’re only halfway through your sentence. It’s so annoying.” 

“The monthly post reappears again…” 

“Since you’ve posted it, tell us everything you know!” 

The originally silent post instantly became lively again because of this anonymous user’s comments. 

The Akister Treasure? 

Marina’s gaze was fixed on these words. 

Akister was an influential figure who dominated the world back then. 

There was very little information about Akister. 

In fact, no one even knew if Akister was a man or a woman. Besides, they also didn’t know how Akister died. 

They only knew that Akister had no descendants and had left a treasure–hunting game for the later generations. 

As long as one could find the keys to opening the treasure, one would be able to inherit all of the wealth after Akister’s death, as well as the mysterious hunter that the entire world feared. 

Many big shots on the Darknet were eager to give it a try. 

However, after so many years, no one had discovered the mystery behind it. 

However, from time to time, someone would come out to expose some news. It was simply more punctual than a woman’s period. 

Marina wasn’t too interested in Akister’s wealth and that power. 

Marina was just curious as to how to activate the trap Akister had set up.
