At that moment, Michael, Daniel and Harry were watching the surveillance camera, waiting for any useful information they could get from Linus. However, these kids were so drunk that they had forgotten their objective.

“Old man,” Harry finally put down his glass as he asked Michael, “Why are we drinking wolfberry tea?”

Michael stayed silent. They couldn’t do anything else while they sat here. They couldn’t drink, yet they couldn’t sit there without consuming anything as well, so they had to order something to drink. Without knowing why, Michael had ordered wolfberry tea without a second thought. He really was getting old…

The atmosphere in the room next door was pleasant. After they were done singing, Stanley dragged Linus to experience their traditional Cethosian culture. Sophia enthusiastically followed them, thinking that Stanley would take them to watch a performance of some sort yet when they arrived, there was a mahjong table set in the center.

“This is our national performance!” Stanley announced proudly as he pointed at the mahjong table.

After dinner and drinks, everyone did not want to go home yet so they all sat around the mahjong table and played three rounds. They all used Venmo and made the transactions on the spot. As they were still in Audistin, Michael wasn’t worried at all. He got a deck of cards and played poker while watching the youngsters playing mahjong. However, as the five youngsters sat at the table, it occurred to them that they had a very serious problem—only three of them knew how to play mahjong!

Upon walking into the mahjong room, no one was leaving without getting tainted and the other two were destined to be dragged into this. Linus was curious about Cethosian culture, so he volunteered to learn. Sophia, on the other hand, was forced to learn. They took turns all night and finally had a rough understanding of how the game worked.

As Sophia’s Venmo was linked to Michael’s credit card, Michael’s phone kept on ringing all night from notifications from the bank.

‘600 was charged to your card ending XXXX.’

‘1000 was charged to your card ending XXXX.’

 

As they played happily, Sophia was growing more and more enthusiastic. Her cheeks were flushed even though she had lost tens of thousands in a single night.

On the other hand, Linus had lost even more. His losses were reaching six figures, but he got happier the more he played.

 

In the next room, Daniel and Harry had already fallen asleep. However, Michael was leaning against the sofa as
