The mat underfoot was likely worth millions, not to mention the jade decorations and crystal sculptures everywhere. The entire space, spanning several hundred square meters, was more luxurious than a royal palace.
Moreover, the attendants were all dressed exquisitely. The cheongsams worn by the female attendants seemed to open all the way to their waists, revealing a vast expanse of skin that stirred the imagination.
Whether male or female, all the staff members here looked like celebrities. Anyone unfamiliar might mistake it for a gathering of stars.
In contrast, the gamblers looked a bizarre assortment.
Some wore fur coats in the sweltering heat, while others sported only beach shorts. However, they all shared one common characteristic: wearing masks or face coverings.
Sen Lang scanned his surroundings and quickly refocused his attention.
“You go left, I’ll go right. Let’s make a sweep first.”
“Okay, got it.”
They split up to search for Hei Dao, and also to identify their target.
However, to their disappointment, five minutes later, when they reconvened near the entrance, both realized they had found nothing.
“Not here?”
Sen Lang’s brow furrowed tightly. Hei Dao should have been here. They had spent some time together and had a decent understanding of what kind of person Hei Dao was.
Yet, the reality was that he couldn't be found here!
A thought immediately struck both of them.
Something had happened!
Just then, a burly figure emerged from the restroom on the left.
“Big Beard?”
They both spotted him simultaneously. Although he was also wearing a mask, his full-body photograph was on the wanted poster, and his physique was unmistakable to both of them!
Furthermore, as masters, they both sensed a faint aura of danger emanating from him.
“Uh, brother, what do we do now?”
Sen Bao frowned slightly. The target was actually here, and this was a golden opportunity they couldn't afford to miss. However, their boss’s whereabouts were unknown.
It was important to remember that this man, Big Beard, possessed a strength of three levels. Guan Ping and the other were definitely no match for him. Even if they brought Yue Hai and Chen Peiyue along, they would need to combine their efforts to have a sufficient chance of success.
This meant that if their next objective was to confront Big Beard, they would have to temporarily abandon the search for Hei Dao.
Sen Lang understood his brother’s concern, and a look of conflict flashed across his face.
After a period of deliberation, Sen Lang finally sighed.
“Let’s find our boss first.”
Sen Bao nodded, cast another glance at Big Beard, and then left the casino with Sen Lang.
Since he wasn’t in the casino, he was likely in the bar. Places like KTV were not conducive to finding someone, and both believed Hei Dao would be in the entertainment district, so they decided to try their luck at the bar.
What they didn’t anticipate was that their target, Big Beard, had actually set his sights on them.
“It must have been these two staring at me just now. Could they be from headquarters?”
The matters of the Rogue Agency were well-known throughout the circles of Shangjing, especially among the wanted individuals whose names were on the system. They had been living in constant anxiety these past few days.
However, Big Beard was also a ruthless individual. He knew very well that he couldn't contend with headquarters on his own. Rather than wait for death, it was better to strike first.
His channels for obtaining information from the outside world had been cut off. If it weren't for a benefactor who took the risk to tip him off that he had been placed on a Rogue system bounty mission, he might still be wandering outside!
But that person clearly couldn't help him with progress updates every time. Therefore, Big Beard thought it best to capture someone who was on a mission and force information out of them!
Big Beard was a decisive person and acted on his thoughts immediately. Moreover, his cultivation level was one level higher than the Sen brothers. Their scrutiny just moments ago had also alerted him.
Therefore, less than a minute after the two left the casino, Big Beard also followed them out.
On a high-rise building in Meicheng, in Tianmei’s room.
Tianmei, who had just dispatched her enforcers, suddenly received a call from her subordinate.
“Master, someone sent some photos. They are of Xiao Yun.”
Tianmei frowned and said coldly, “Isn’t Xiao Yun at work now? Did she run out?”
The voice on the other end of the line suddenly became flustered.
“No, Master. I checked, Xiao Yun is still at the shop.”
Tianmei finally realized something was amiss. “Send the photos over for me to see.”
A moment later, a private photo of Xiao Yun appeared on her work computer.
And the background of the photo was her shop!
“It seems someone is trying to cause trouble.”
Tianmei’s smoky eyebrows lifted slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her alluring eyes.
She unhurriedly took out a ladies’ cigarette and lit it, casually resting her long, fair legs on the table. Only when the cigarette was half-smoked did she pick up her phone.
After a moment of perusal, she dialed a number.
“Bring up guest 305. Please have Team Tian’s people come over.”
After the call ended, Tianmei stubbed out her cigarette and slowly stood up, straightening her clothes.
When she lowered her hands, a charming smile graced her face, her every move exuding boundless allure.
About ten minutes later, the doorbell suddenly rang outside the room door.
“Come in.”
As the door creaked open, Young Master Huang entered slowly with the man.
Tianmei smiled sweetly and said softly, “Ah, Young Master Huang, I hope you’ll forgive me for not being able to entertain you properly tonight.”
As she spoke, she proactively poured a cup of tea. After Young Master Huang entered, his eyes hadn’t moved away from her, especially not from her chest.
Licking his lips, Young Master Huang also revealed a triumphant smile and said, “Everyone says Sister Tianmei is the most beautiful woman in Shangjing. I used to not believe it, thinking people were exaggerating. But seeing you today, I can’t believe how true it is!”
Her almond-shaped eyes flickered gently, exuding an endless charm.
“Young Master Huang is usually busy with important matters, how could he have time to visit this humble woman?”
Only then did Young Master Huang notice how sweet Tianmei’s voice was, like heavenly music that was utterly captivating.
This feeling naturally made him even more consumed by desire.
“Sister Tianmei, you jest. Your Meicheng and my Huang Bao have never been on good terms. If it weren't for the troublesome business with headquarters, I wouldn’t be in Meicheng today!”
“However, I believe this is fate’s arrangement. To catch a glimpse of Sister Tianmei is probably the lifelong dream of many men!”
Tianmei smiled, “Young Master Huang’s words are truly sweet. No wonder I’ve always heard that Young Master Wang is always surrounded by women. With just that mouth, I’m sure many women would throw themselves at you.”
Young Master Huang didn’t detect any ambiguity in her words and thought Tianmei was praising him, instinctively puffing out his chest.
