Jewel reached out and hugged her. “Well, it’s better this way. You’re not lacking in family. Your children and husband are all here for you!” Olivia responded, “Yes. I know. By the way, why hasn’t Alex come back yet?”
“He’s still looking for Damian.”
Olivia asked, “Where else did he go to search?” The Hill Casino. After hanging up Jewel’s call, Alex wandered around with Peter. On the surface, it seemed like he was looking for a gambling table to place bets on, but his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.
As a seasoned gambler, Damian would definitely be unable to resist gambling unless he was out of money. That was what Alex firmly believed.
However, the entire morning had passed, and he still hadn’t seen Damian. He was worried about the clinic, and Damian hadn’t shown up here either, which made him somewhat restless.
However, he tried to console himself. Gamblers like Damian, who came out at night and hid during the day, were more likely to appear in the evening. So, he had to be patient. Since Jewel had said that everything was fine at home, he would endure and wait here. He swore to himself that he would catch Damian.
After some time, Peter got bored of playing and found a chair to rest with his eyes closed. Alex, on the other hand, walked over to a gambling table to pass the time.
At this moment, a man and a woman walked in through the casino entrance. The woman had wavy blonde hair, fiery red lips, and a strong aura. She wore a tight red dress that accentuated her alluring figure. Her every step exuded an irresistible charm that could captivate countless men.
Following closely behind her was a man with a somewhat flattering and obsequious expression. This person was none other than Damian, whom Alex was looking for. The woman paused her footsteps and turned her head to ask, “You said you saw Jewel?”
Damian replied, “Yes.”
“That’s impossible. She’s already dead!” The woman sneered disdainfully and continued walking forward. The two of them went upstairs straight using the exclusive elevator.
He anxiously said, “I’m not lying to you, Phantom. I saw her with Alex. She’s alive and well. Although she’s a bit thinner than before, I definitely wouldn’t mistake her.”
Phantom’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. “Where is she?” “I don’t know yet. I was afraid they would recognize me, so I left. I didn’t even dare to go home.”
She glanced at the man with contempt. “So, you expect me to launch a massive search based solely on your word?”
“Of course not. If Jewel is still alive, she would be a threat to you as well. Naturally, it would be better to eliminate her.” She sneered. “Are you hoping to see both of us get hurt so you can reap the benefits?”
Damian hurriedly said, “No. Phantom, I’m thinking about your well-being. It’s in the best interest of both you and the organization to get rid of her! Think about it. If Jewel is still alive and not returning to the organization, wouldn’t that be considered desertion? It’s only natural for the organization to eliminate deserters. Since she’s still alive, she definitely knows what you’ve done to her. Aren’t you afraid she’ll come after you for revenge? At this point, it’s a matter of who strikes first and seizes the initiative!”
Phantom scoffed at his words. “She wants to come after me? She and what army?”
Damian replied, “Of course, it’s not just her. Jewel has Alex by her side.”
Her gaze swept over him coldly. “And what about Alex? Even if he’s thriving in his current endeavors, can he compare to the Double Dragon Court?”
He smiled awkwardly. “Of course not. The Double Dragon Court is the world’s largest mercenary organization. No one dares to defy them.” She chuckled with a satisfied expression. “Exactly. That’s the point. Why should I care about him?”
However, Damian looked at her and his lips curled into a sinister smile as he leaned closer “But whether the two pavilion masters are willing to confront Alex openly remains a question.”
Phantom furrowed her brows fiercely. “What do you mean?”
