Seeing that Aquila and Baldy were all tied up like mummies, both Mason and Janet had a contented smile on their faces. Then, they turned around and headed downstairs.
“D*mn it! Let us go!” Aquila and Baldy cried as they stared at the other two people’s backs, their voices muffled by the cloth in their mouths.
As soon as Mason and Janet went downstairs, the crowds had been dismissed, and only people from AQ were left.
Meanwhile, Sean was startled when he saw Black Python, Red Python and White Python lazing on the couch with their legs crossed.
Once they noticed Mason walking down the stairs, all of them stood up and bowed toward him. “Young Master Mason, Miss Jackson, we apologize for startling you!”
Knitting his eyebrows together, Mason asked doubtfully, “Why are you all here?”
All three of them instinctively took a quick but meaningful glance at Janet’s belly and smiled. “Old Madam sent us here.”
The moment Mason and Sean turned off their phones, Old Madam Lowry had commanded Black Python, White Python and the rest to make a trip to the underground casino in Markovia. Fortunately, they managed to get here just in time.
That made Mason rather speechless. Grandma never used to bother about stuff like this, so what made her change her mind this time?
Darting a frosty glare at Black Python, Mason said, “I’m fine. Tell her not to worry about me.”
Upon hearing that, Black Python tried to suppress a smile and thought, Old Madam isn’t worried about you. She is actually worried about the baby in Miss Jackson’s womb.
“Miss Janet, you’re quite good with numbers, right? Come over here and help us with this account. Geez! This rat b*stard has earned so much dirty money, yet he still has the nerve to rob Young Master Mason. He really is trying to dig his own grave.”
After exchanging glances with Mason, Janet grinned and headed to the counter in the casino to check on the accounts.
In the meantime, Aquila succeeded in taking out the knife from a secret compartment after a long struggle. Soon, he managed to cut through the curtains that were tying him down.
With a hardened expression on his face, he balled his fists and said gruffly, “Our men downstairs are probably under the control of the Lowry Family by now.”
If they were to rush downstairs without a plan, it was likely that they wouldn’t have any advantage in winning against them. Worse still, Baldy and him would likely be held by them too.
“What should we do now?” Frowning, Baldy regretted his decision so much. “F*ck this! If I had known the Lowry Family was this powerful, I certainly wouldn’t have robbed their things.”
Initially, he thought that those from Sandfort City were all weaklings, but he didn’t expect to meet such a tough opponent.
“Go and gather the rest of our men here!” Aquila ordered.
“But… But there are not many of us left. I’m worried that before they get here, we will be seized by the Lowry Family,” said Baldy as he pursed his lips. He was having a rough time schooling his expression.
At the mention of that, Aquila was suddenly reminded of a person.
“Contact MX now. Tell them that if they send us back-up, I’m willing to give up half of the 30% of the land I own!” said Aquila in his raspy voice, sounding a little excited. With such a tempting offer, Aquila was confident that MX would not turn it down, and would gladly cooperate with him to defeat the outsider.
“Right away!” Baldy nodded and immediately went to get things done.
As Baldy spoke, Aquila abruptly thought of what that lass said just now. She may not be Jasmine’s official disciple, but she respects the Queen of Gamblers very much. If I can just get Jasmine here, then I guess the Lowry Family might let me go for Jasmine’s sake.
The more Aquila thought about it, the more he felt that the plan might work. If he had asked, then surely, Jasmine would come and lend him a hand.
“Go and invite the Queen of Gamblers here now. Regardless of the price, just get her here.”
“Understood, boss!” said Baldy as he immediately went off to get things done.
Meanwhile, Janet was still on the computer downstairs, checking on the casino’s business turnover. That was when Aquila came walking down the stairs.
Upon seeing that, Mason and Janet raised an eyebrow as they had already expected this. Still, they were surprised to see that he was not that dumb afterall, as he knew how to escape.
Putting on a mirthless smile, Aquila slowly made his way down the stairs and said in a cold voice, “A bunch of suicidal idiots!”
When Black Python, White Python and Red Python heard that, they instantly raised up their guns and aimed it at him.
