Chapter 1953: Chapter 1058: Threat? (Part 2)

“Then, let’s begin…”

However, at that moment, the armed militants outside on the screen suddenly went mad and started shooting each other, one after another they were shot and fell to the ground, causing the hostages to scream in fear.

This scene appeared somewhat humorous to McDonald’s eyes.

Just a few people forced you to use bizarre abilities again, this is simply perfect!

“It seems that our magical Little Duke has taken action, but in that case, I’ll have to choose a lucky one from the scene to commemorate my fallen comrades.”

A cruel smile appeared on McDonald’s face as he casually selected a few ordinary passengers in the hall.

“As long as he doesn’t show up, I will periodically shoot randomly until all those without value are killed.”

Then he changed his tone and said with a smile,

“Of course, those of you who are valuable don’t have to worry, I’m a reasonable person, as long as there’s life-saving money, you will be fine.”

At this moment, whether it was Huang Shihu, Gao Jin, or Ferrari, they all realized that McDonald’s was feeling confident and fearless.

The other side must have some sort of trump card to deal with that Little Duke, perhaps sending fodder earlier was just to deplete resources.

Among them, Ferrari remained the calmest, because he still had Ah Jiu as an unused trump card. Ah Jiu was still lurking in a room and hadn’t arrived, but he had a contact talisman given by the other party, which would react when needed.

“Let’s let that Little Duke deplete resources first, then let me handle the aftermath. No matter who wins on their side, they won’t expect my move.”

But Ferrari felt some regret looking at Gao Jin; under these circumstances, he probably couldn’t take revenge anymore.

Originally, he didn’t like the crude methods of direct killing, but in the end, this time, there might be no choice…

As McDonald’s brought the hostages out into the open, Gao Jin also spoke up,

“Sir, would you be interested in a gamble with me?”

McDonald’s found Gao Jin’s proposal amusing and replied,

“Why, does the Gambling God want to save these people?”

“Since we’re waiting for the Little Duke anyway, why not play a game? If you win, I’ll pay one more ransom; if you lose, it’s just exchanging one hostage.”

Gao Jin appeared steady, because the other party had promised not to drain everyone on site, so Gao Jin leveraged the other’s words.

If there was resistance, it would only cause the now-submissive rich merchants to become suspicious, wondering if the other party just wanted ransom money.

This grasp of human nature made McDonald’s aware of the problem belatedly, nodding thereafter,

“As expected of the Gambling God. Fine, but I get to decide what we play!”

“Alright…”

Just then, the hall doors burst open, and Tao Yu, holding a compass in his left hand and a magic wand in his right, entered with others.

“Let me decide.”

Tao Yu’s tone was calm, yet it brought surprising delight to all the anxious captives on-site.

Those hostages who had no ransom money felt a great weight lifted from their hearts.

Seeing Tao Yu appear, Gao Jin sighed in his heart, and Ferrari sneered repeatedly,

“People bound by morality like these are too easy to handle.”

Seeing Tao Yu appear, McDonald’s also smiled, starting to clap.

“Little Duke, quite daring of you to come out knowing I forced you, impressive.”

The sound of guns cocking echoed; both visible and hidden firearms were aimed at Tao Yu’s area.

Meanwhile, a man in a black trench coat stylishly leaped from behind the stage, landing on the gambling table in the hall, peering down at everyone with his hands behind his back.

“You must be the Duke of Sutherland? Indeed, you have some skills, but unfortunately, you still fell into my trap.”

Fu Guang twisted his neck, a hint of pride in his voice.

Almost as his voice fell, click~ click~

All doors and windows around closed under some unknown force, turning the hall into a sealed space with a dim black light as its backdrop.

Even though the hall still had lights, the atmosphere began to feel very much like the Underworld, and Fu Guang’s black tailcoat, black gloves, and sunglasses tightened gradually, as if to sink into his flesh, making him look quite eerie.

“Welcome to my world.”

Fu Guang grinned, standing arrogantly on the table, seemingly unconcerned about being attacked.

This was his ghostly domain, where he could do as he pleased. It seemed like he stood there, but in reality, he could appear anywhere!

“Strange methods can change in myriad ways; even though your ability is exposed, I will not lower my guard. Therefore, I must have you on my territory to feel assured…”

After succeeding, Fu Guang seemed to have a desire to express, explaining the power of his ghostly domain to everyone on-site, and to Le Huizhen filming.

“Looks like your ghostly domain isn’t as flexible as you say, with certain limitations.”

Tao Yu listened to Fu Guang’s words without commenting.

The dark Underworld atmosphere around seemed to cast a green glow over everyone.

“You’re indeed very keen, worthy of becoming a Deceit Master and seizing the Duke’s title. Why didn’t I think of this substitution method? Instead, I’m here earning hard money, but your luck ends here.”
