It was a venue where a large amount of wealth poured in from across all directions, they had given it a name full of aggression — Tiger’s Den.
Word was that not only were there various kinds of table games, including Pai Gow Poker. There were even boxing matches patrons could cast their bets on and other far more exciting forms of entertainment.
This was a money-printing cove, it was also the ultimate entertainment destination for the wealthy.
Most of the people who came here were not common folk, they were the rich and powerful from all over the world.
Nell got out of the car, accompanied by Nancy and Matthew. They tossed the key to the valet and entered via the entrance of the casino.
Since it was during the daytime, there were not many people inside. However, she knew that this was all a front.
On the outside, the Tiger’s Den was a regular rock club. In truth, the real entertainment was located underground.
As far as she knew, a good number of members of the Dragon Regiment had been recruited over here. If her sources proved to be correct, there should be a lot of her old acquaintances here!
When the notion came to Nell, she tightened her fingers. They walked past the dimly lit hall, the corridor was pitch-black as the lights were not turned on.
Using the information she had sourced, she found an elevator in the corner. The elevator was well hidden, it was easy to overlook it if one was not actively searching for it.
The elevator doors opened. She walked inside and selected the second floor underground.
They arrived quickly.
When the elevator doors opened again, her eyes were dazzled by blinding lights.
It was an underground market full of life. Dazzling lights, a myriad of people, all types of table games were littered across the area. Somewhere not far off, there was a boxing ring. Two boxers were dueling inside the ring with the crowd of people heckling, screaming, and shouting at them. The commotion was enough to tear off the roof of the building.
Looks like business was booming.
She slowly raised the corner of her lips, a hint of irony glimpsed past her dark eyes.
It was then when a casino staff appeared before her, he asked respectfully with a perfectly angular bow, “What sort of assistance can we provide our esteemed patrons?”
She stepped forward and stated while surveying her surroundings, “I’m looking for your boss.”
The casino staff was visibly startled.
He smiled faintly after and turned around after he finished. “Please wait for a moment.”
Within a moment, a slightly plump middle-aged man approached them.
“Miss, you were looking for me?”
The man hung a faint smile on his face, he appeared very polite and composed.
Nell barely spared her so much as a glance.
“It’s only been a few days since I’ve last came here and there’s already a new hire? In that case, I think I’d rather keep this thing here for myself.”
She turned around right after she finished.
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He signaled for the staff to stand down for the moment and said with a smile, “Please hold, miss. May I know what you are planning to show to my boss?”
Nell’s lips ever so slightly crooked upward, she looked at him with a hint of a smile.
“Bring me to him, otherwise I’ll walk right out the door. I guarantee your boss is going to regret letting me walk away.”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed, there was a sudden sternness on his face.
He said solemnly, “Please wait a moment.”
After he finished, he headed to the counter and picked up a phone.
Nell was not in a rush, the three of them stood waiting silently.
Within a short moment, he returned to them taking large steps at a time. This time he was visibly more courteous than he was previously. With his right hand, he motioned. “This way please.”
Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, Nell entered the elevator with him and went to the second floor.
They came before a door. The middle-aged man gave the door several knocks until a deep voice came from behind the door. “Come in!”
The door opened slowly.
