What did it mean to have a man who could tell 100% whether there was an emerald inside the ores?
Giovanni was well aware. This meant supreme wealth.
This meant reaching the heavens in a single bound, an overwhelming advantage.
Would he still need to work so hard to operate the Golden Tower in such a desolate area with such a mysterious person by his side? Did he still have to engage in that cosmeceutical business? And, did he need to take the risk to create that new poison?
No, only a fool would do it.
When the time came, he could just head to Myanmar and pick and buy all the ores there that contained emeralds inside them. He could cut it open himself, and start an emerald business.
He could become the largest supplier of emerald jadeites, and he could also monopolize the entire business in the world. From then on, he could relax and have fun every day in a villa with women in his arms. When he thought about it, Giovanni’s heart started beating faster, and his breathing became laborious.
He looked at Hubert, then he laughed and said, “Young Master Gordon, I can let the ten billion go. You only need to give me one person.”
Hubert had no idea what was going on, so he asked, “Who?”
“The man who came with you,” Giovanni said.
Hubert was shocked for an instant He looked at Giovanni strangely. He was extremely surprised on the inside. Could it be… That this old man was a homosexual? And Alex had caught his eyes?
When Giovanni saw the expression upon Hubert’s face, he knew it was pointless to say anything else.
However, Alex was now inside his Golden Tower. He had his ways to keep the fellow in his home ground.
He immediately stood up with a smile upon his face and put the cigar back in his mouth before saying, “Come, let’s go meet this stone gambling master and congratulate him properly. We should also congratulate him for becoming the chief consultant of our Golden Tower.”
The security guard understood Giovanni’s intentions at once.
He responded in affirmative and then went to open the office’s doors to lead Giovanni down to the ground floor to look for Alex.
However, at this moment, a woman suddenly rushed forward, giving the security guard, who was walking away, a violent, sharp kick. Then, the black barrel of a gun was aimed at Giovanni, who had been walking behind the security guard.
It was the woman who was the captain of the team from the Divine Constabulary.
Her name was Soraya Mayes.
“Don’t move. The Divine Constabulary is handling this case. Giovanni Winn, you’re suspected of…”
She didn’t manage to finish her sentence before Giovanni suddenly spat out the cigar in his mouth, which shot out like a bullet at lightning speed.
“What?!”
Soraya’s eyes widened, her heart in shock.
The strength that Giovanni had just displayed far surpassed her, who was an advanced Mystic rank warrior. It was definitely the strength of an Earth rank warrior, but she couldn’t even tell what rank he was at.
‘Oh no!’
‘The intelligence for this mission was wrong!’
Just as Soraya had that thought, the half-burnt cigar slammed into her chest heavily. She had moved at the most critical juncture, and it had hit the right side of her chest. Otherwise, it would have hit the left side of her chest.
The moment the cigar hit her body, Soraya felt a rush of inner strength that could topple mountains and overturn seas burst forth from the tip of the cigar that touched her.
In that instant, she felt as though her body was going to be shattered.
However, her will power was considered formidable. Even though such a heavy blow had landed on her, she gritted her teeth and aimed her gun at Giovanni’s lower body, and fired with a ‘bang’!
The sound of a gunshot echoed through the building, instantly alarming everyone in the Golden Tower. Hubert, who was still in Giovanni’s office at this time, threw himself to the ground immediately, both hands coming up to cover his head.
He was just about to pee his pants in fright. He didn’t know what in the world was happening. He also hadn’t heard exactly what Soraya had said previously.
Unfortunately, Soraya’s bullet didn’t hit Giovanni. He had dodged in advance to avoid the bullet, and just as Soraya aimed her gun again and wanted to open fire, he reached out to snatch the gun from her instantly.
“Hahahahaha!”
“The Divine Constabulary. You actually chased me to the Golden Tower in a small town like Morro. You really have nothing else better to do than to start panicking, huh? What a pity, an insignificant Mystic rank warrior like you. What did you think you could find here? Since you dared to come out here, then you must have prepared to stay here!” Giovanni sneered. He turned the gun’s muzzle to aim it at Soraya before pulling the trigger without hesitation.
