Chapter 281 Is This Your Woman

“Don’t say it like that. Isn’t it all about getting by, no matter where you are? As long as you’re doing well, that’s what matters,” said Josiah.

“You’re right,” Tattler nodded in agreement. “By the way, Boss, who’s this lovely lady? Is she your woman!”

As he spoke, he carefully sized up Madelyn from head to toe. Taking note of her attractiveness, he thought she could be considered a good match for Josiah.

“No, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong. She’s just a friend of mine,” Josiah quickly clarified, slightly taken aback.

The tips of his ears inexplicably turned a bit red.

Luckily, the multicolored lights were constantly flickering, making it impossible to clearly see anyone’s face. Otherwise, it would have been incredibly embarrassing.

“Actually, I was just curious and wanted to see what fun things there were to do around here. Since you’ve been here for a while, do you have any recommendations?” Josiah changed the subject.

The nickname “Tattler” was, in fact, quite fitting to his character.

He was a restless soul, always on the move. Whenever he had free time, he would indulge himself in digging up some juicy gossip and catching up on the latest news from all around.

He was already well-acquainted with this club, so at this moment, he was more than happy to lend a hand.

“Boss, to be honest, this place is teeming with fun stuff!” Tattler’s face beamed with excitement. “This place has three levels in total. The basement one level, where we are now, is free for you to enjoy as you wish, with food and drinks aplenty. The basement two level, you might need a bit of cash to have fun there. You’ll see what I mean when you go down. As for the basement three level…”

Upon reaching this point, it was clear that Tattler was somewhat hesitant.

“What about it?” Josiah felt that something was off.

Tattler suddenly let out a sigh. “The basement three level seems to be a highly confidential area. There’s a security system in place, so you can’t just barge in. I’m not too sure about the situation inside, but if you guys are planning to have fun, it’s best to stick to the first two levels.”

Upon hearing these words, Josiah couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Without asking any further questions, Josiah pulled out a stack of bills from his pocket and handed it directly to Tattler. “Thanks for the information.”

Tattler accepted the banknotes with a bewildered expression, pausing for a moment before his face broke into a joyous smile. “Boss, you haven’t changed a bit, still as generous as ever!”

With a smile, Josiah chose not to say anything more. He took Madelyn aside.

“I don’t think we’ll be able to make it to the third floor,” Josiah said. “How about we check out the second floor first and see how things are?”

Following that, the two of them took the elevator down to the basement two level.

It was a massive casino.

Finished

When Madelyn first laid eyes on it, she was somewhat taken aback. The casino here was on par with those in Adonia.

Countless women, dressed in dazzling attire, gracefully moved through the crowd. The waitstaff, all dressed as sexy bunny girls, drew endless lingering gazes as they carried trays of drinks.

At every gambling table was a throng of enthusiastic spectators, their spirits high. They were placing big and small bets, buying and selling, indulging in all sorts of activities like playing cards, rolling dice, and so on…

In truth, during her past life, Madelyn often visited this place. However, her memories weren’t very vivid, so she wasn’t entirely certain.

Looking back, everything seemed to align quite closely with her fuzzy memories.

Josiah’s reaction was quite different.

At that moment, his eyes were wide open, observing everything around him with the curiosity of a child, finding it all quite fascinating.

“Haven’t you been here before? Why the curiosity?” Madelyn asked, somewhat puzzled.

With a helpless expression, Josiah said, “That was years ago. Besides, I only ever wandered around the first floor; I’ve never come down here. If my dad found out I’ve been to a place like this, he’d break my legs.”

Hearing his tone of self-pity, Madelyn couldn’t help but laugh.

It was amusing to think the rebellious young master, Josiah, was actually that cowardly.

Madelyn could still distinctly remember him often frequenting this place with her in her past life.

“Shall we go in and have some fun?” Madelyn suddenly suggested with a smile.

Josiah gave a nod.

“Wait!”

At that moment, a bouncer dressed in black suddenly rushed over, blocking their path. “We have certain rules here. If you two want to go in and have fun, you’ll have to pay the entrance fee first.”

“Entrance fee? How much?” Madelyn asked.

“One hundred thousand,” the bouncer said.

Upon hearing that, Josiah was stunned.

While it was true that a hundred thousand wasn’t a lot, wasn’t it just unbelievable that the entrance fee alone could be so high?

Madelyn was actually quite taken aback as well. She thought to herself, What kind of ridiculous casino is this? They’re being utterly outrageous!

However, looking at the situation at hand, it was crucial to go in first. So, the two had no choice but to painfully part with their money.

After they had paid, the two of them finally entered.

There was virtually no cash changing hands at the gambling tables. Instead, everyone was stacking and trading poker chips.

There were two types of chips, each in a different color. The red chips were worth a million, while the green ones were half that value at five hundred thousand. This indicated that the minimum bet in this casino started at five hundred thousand.

“Hey, why don’t you go exchange some chips first?” After a casual glance, Madelyn suggested to Josiah.

“I didn’t bring that much money with me,” Josiah said helplessly. “I wasn’t fully prepared when I decided to come out with you today. All I have on me is a card with a balance of less than three hundred thousand."

“No worries, I’ve got it covered.” Upon hearing this, Madelyn let out a sigh of relief. She was thankful she had brought enough money. Otherwise, the trip would have been for nothing.

Following that, she simply handed the card to Josiah, instructing him to exchange it for a few chips. There was no need for a lot, just enough to put on a show.

Josiah nodded, immediately heading to the counter.

Madelyn stood still, taking a moment to carefully observe the gambling games happening nearby.

At that moment, the atmosphere around one of the gambling tables was particularly lively, appearing to be the most active table in the entire venue.

The person leading the table seemed quite formidable, essentially winning every bet he placed.

The crowd surrounding him gasped in awe, all marveling at his extraordinary luck. Could it be that he was the reincarnation of the God of Fortune?

Madelyn had evidently noticed the situation over there and couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.

After making a few inquiries, she discovered that the man was known as Septimus and was hailed as the King of Gambling.

Given the circumstances, it’s likely that this person must be privy to quite a bit of information, right?

At this thought, a glint of mischief suddenly flashed in Madelyn’s eyes. She told herself, since she was here to gather information, how could she not take a calculated risk?

And so, she walked straight toward that table.

“Madelyn!” Josiah had just exchanged the chips when he noticed Madelyn weaving her way into the crowd. He immediately followed her.

“Mr. Septimus, how does this work here? I’d like to join.” As soon as Madelyn arrived, she spoke up without any hesitation.

The people around were taken aback, realizing that the one speaking was a pretty young woman. Immediately, they began to tease. “Oh, where did this little beauty come from?”
