“Are you going to leave the money behind?”
As soon as Sasha heard him, her expression darkened. She asked in return, “What money are you talking about? The deal with the tycoon? I’m afraid Dickson has been blown into pulps, hasn’t he?”
Meanwhile, Lance accessed her phone and canceled the reserved seats without a second thought.
“He’s not dead. In fact, he made it out of the casino before us.”
“Huh?” Sasha’s eyes gleamed in excitement when she heard the great news.
In the end, they made up their mind to pay the tycoon a visit the next day. For the time being, they would take shelter in the hotel.
On the other hand, Solomon had been waiting for updates regarding the incident from his subordinates.
When he found out that Lance and Sasha had made it out of the casino unscathed, he asked with a frown, “Did he bring her out on his own?”
His assistant shook his head and explained, “We were waiting for Ms. Nancy as per your instructions. However, a bunch of men showed up out of nowhere and escorted them out of the casino in the nick of time.”
“A bunch of men?”
Once again, Solomon was startled by what he heard.
It turned out that he was behind the commotion that had occurred. It wasn’t much of a surprise for the militants to get instigated easily since they were in the middle of a warzone.
He was certain that if he rushed over to Sasha’s rescue, she would stop turning him down.
What’s with that brat, Lance? Why did a bunch of men show up out of nowhere and rush over to their rescue?
Solomon probed further, “Have you figured out the identity of the mysterious bunch?”
“Lance spent a million to hire a hitman to keep them safe. He’s supposed to be the best in the industry.”
Solomon asked rhetorically with a scowl, “Ha! You don’t think that’s all there is to that, do you?”
The assistant was at a loss for words.
It does sound baffling…
Who are the mysterious men who showed up out of nowhere? On top of that, they had guns with them! Even our men might not be a match for them in terms of combat skills!
Soon, Solomon’s assistant disappeared into the dark, leaving him alone.
Gritting his teeth, he repeated the name of a particular man while he stared at the pile of rubble before him, “Lance!”
Sasha had a long night as she couldn’t stop herself from recalling the chaotic situation they were in a few hours ago.
On top of that, she kept recalling the time the slender fingers ripped the cards into pieces.
