The old man then put the silk object in a box and handed it to Halston.
“You’ve got a good eye.This silk object is very lucky to have found you as its owner.”
“Thank you.”
Halston accepted it.
Although he still had many questions, he recalled that Flossie’s situation was still unclear.He stopped talking and quickly made his way to the underground casino.
The underground casino below Water Dock’s antique market was a dangerous place.It was a place unbounded by the rule of law, where only the size of one’s fists mattered.
This place was dark, bloody, and full of violence.
Countless lives were taken here.
Halston couldn’t understand why Flossie would come to a place like this.She was constantly looking for trouble! It was very crowded in the underground casino.
There was a heavy scent of various types of tobacco present.
One could also smell danger in the air.In this lawless place, anything could be bought and sold.
Gamblers stood around tables with intense gazes in their eyes.
They could make a lot of money with a snap of the fingers, but they could also lose all their money just as quickly.
As soon as Halston walked in, he frowned at the disgusting stench that permeated his nose.
After casually scanning the surroundings, he saw a bloody heart on a casino table that was still beating.
A sexy female dealer in a tight black leather jacket and leather skirt, who also had on a pair of bunny ears pointed at the heart.
“Everyone, listen up.This is a cow’s heart that was just extracted.It’s still beating.If you eat it raw, it’ll improve your stamina and extend your lifespan.You’ll need a bit of luck to make it yours…Come on now.Place your bets!”
Everyone began placing their bets.
The dealer swayed her hips from side to side while she rolled the dice.
After the results were announced, a plump man found out he had won.He smiled widely and began gnawing at the heart.His mouth was covered in blood, and everyone cheered.
Feeling sick to his stomach, Halston quickly looked away.
The heart might have belonged to a cow, but it looked no different from a human heart.
The sight of it was revolting.
When Halston looked away, he saw other similar gambles taking place.It didn’t look like the human world.It looked more like hell where demons roamed.
He’d heard that the underground casino in Water Dock was famous for the wrong reasons, but he didn’t know it was this bad.
Halston’s haloemia was kicking in.He found it increasingly difficult to breathe, and his head was getting heavy.He probably wouldn’t even last for a minute longer.
After taking a deep breath, he forced himself to keep searching.
Halston murmured to himself, “Flossie, oh, Flossie.You’re such a pain in the ass.You’re going to be in deep trouble once I get my hands on you!”
The casino was huge.
People gathered in large groups in each area, but there was one particular area with the greatest number of people.
Eager gamblers surrounded a round casino table as they made excited cat-calls.
Halston instantly knew something fishy was going on, and he quickly strode over.
Unsurprisingly, there was a young woman all tied up on the table.
The woman barely had any clothes on—the white silk dress that concealed little of her skin was extremely thin, while a feathered mask covered the upper half of her face.
Curled up into a ball in the corner, she was evidently trembling.
Halston felt a tightness in his chest.He clenched his fists and prepared to charge forward.
That’s because he could tell the woman’s facial features were nearly identical to Flossie’s despite the feathered mask she was wearing.She had the same pointy nose, the same pink, smooth lips, and even the same neck and collarbone.She was, in essence, Flossie’s doppelganger.
However, a tall, muscular man held the rope around her.
“This is high-quality meat.If you win, you can use her yourself or share her with others.She’s definitely worth the money.Who else wants to place a bet?!”
The man shouted and forcefully tugged the rope, causing the woman to moan as she was violently jerked forward.
The sound of her moaning was like a battle song that motivated the men instantly, who mindlessly stepped forward and started placing their bets! When Halston saw this, he stopped moving completely.He stood there quietly and seemed to be thinking about something.
The facial expression on his face turned colder.
Right then, Xavier, who stood at the center of the crowd, started saying something.
“I’m counting down from three.Hand her over, or you’ll all be in trouble!”
The man holding Flossie came across people like Xavier every day.
Naturally, he was very calm.
“Sir, everyone likes a beautiful woman.If you want her, you’ll have to place your bet.If you win, you can take her with you.If you lose, you’ll have to wait for your next opportunity!”
Xavier, however, lacked patience.
He sneered.
“Three, two…”
When he counted down, the security staff in the casino picked up their weapons.
Despite the hostility, Xavier wasn’t afraid at all.
Although the casino held a lot of power in this area, they were nothing compared to the Stuart family.
By the time the security guards started moving, Xavier had already sent his men to close off all exits.
The security guards were now pointing their guns at Xavier.
The man jumped off the table and shouted at Xavier.
“You ignorant fool.How dare you stir up trouble here? Go to hell!”
He swung his fist at Xavier’s face, but Xavier dodged it and kicked the man with force.
