While Soraya couldnât see the extent of Giovanniâs strength, Alex could identify it at a single glance.
Advanced Earth rank!
As expected, a person who could do such a business in a place like this really couldnât be any common
person. However, though nothing was weighing up on his mind, he was a bit puzzled about the
gunshots he heard from upstairs just now.
Could it be that the people from the Divine Constabulary had already made their move? But, it was
over in such a short time, wasnât that a little too fast?
Also, Giovanni had appeared here unscathed, and that was a little unreasonable. Even if Giovanni
wasnât the person they were going to deal with, he was still the owner of this place, and he should be
dealing with what had happened upstairs.
âThen, had something happened to those from the Divine Constabulary?â
In addition, Hubert had not made an appearance either. His voice was steady and cairn when he said,
âMy luck today is indeed good, but I have a small problem. When I wanted to leave with my emeralds
just now, the attendant seemed unhappy and said that I had to wait for her boss to arrive before
leaving. So, youâre the boss, right? Are you going to take a photo with me or something?â
Giovanni smiled and said, âA photo? Thatâs a good idea! I havenât taken a photo with anyone for a long
time! But, Iâm curious, bro, how did you manage to pick ores that all had emeralds inside it?â
Alex replied, âLuck! Didnât Boss Winn just say that my luck was good?â
Giovanniâs smile widened even more as he said, âBro, the saying goes that âa straightforward person
doesnât resort to insinuationsâ. It isnât as simple as âluckâ for you to get all seventeen emeralds front the
ores. Bro, you have some sort of magical skills, right? My name is Giovanni Winn, and Iâm the owner of
the Golden Tower. I usually like making friends with people like you! How about coming to my office for
a cup of tea and letâs talk, hm?â
Alex shook his head. âIâm not interested. I just want to leave with my emeralds.â
âArenât you going to give me some face?â
âI donât even know you, so why should I?â Alex replied lightly.
The female attendant previously sneered and said, âItâs an honor for Boss Winn to invite you for tea,
and you shouldnât reject our bossâs sincerity. Not everyone can afford to let down our bossâs sincerity.â
âIs that so? Then, what does Boss Winn want to talk to me about?â
âA cooperation! I have some connections in Myanmar, and you can have your pick of ores there. Since
you have such a skill, Bro, we should cooperate in an emerald business. Iâll give you 30% of the money
earned. What do you say?â
Alex shook his head. âNo.â
Giovanniâs face became cold instantly. âSo, you insist on doing things the hard way? Do you know the
consequences of not cooperating with me? You donât want to have a rich and prosperous life but insist
on walking a dead end?â
The female attendant, Apple, spoke again, âDonât be stupid. Youâre going up against Boss Winn. If you
canât please him, youâll let the opportunity of a great future pass you by just like that! Also, your woman
is so beautiful. You have to think about the consequences. She might even end up becoming some
other menâs play thing. â
Cherylâs heart thumped, and a cold sweat broke out in her hand that was holding Alexâs.
It would be a lie if she said she wasnât nervous at all.
Slap!
Alex delivered a slap right across Appleâs face.
The blow saw Apple turn and fall to the floor. When she landed, she spat a mouthful of teeth, all
drenched in blood.
âSo nosy!â
Apple covered her face, a look of res entment and shock upon her face. She didnât understand. How
dare Alex take the first
step and make a move like this at a time like this?
Was he not afraid of death?
Giovanni smiled.
It was a ruthless, vicious smile.
âIt looks like you wonât turn around if you donât hit a dead end! You seem to care about your female
partner a lot. Iâll strip her and hang her up then. Letâs see if your mouth will still be reluctant to admit
your mistake!â
Alexâs eyes flashed. âYouâll regret saying those words.â
Giovanni shook his head. âI never regret anything.â Having said that, he waved his hand.
The dozens of disciples that stood behind him stepped forward, surrounding Alex and Cheryl.
