"Well, the woman is wearing our master's ring and we must make everything clear to everyone involved." said Glenn in a less polite tone for he was still not sure whether the ring was real. If it was, then this woman in front of him was the real deal.

Jordan considered for a while then made his decision.

Following Glenn, they arrived at the gate of a luxurious gambling house. Jordan was carefully observing gamblers walking in and out when he entered the house after Glenn.

The casino was very large. It's hard to imagine that in such a remote place, there were all kinds of the most advanced gambling machines. There are so many gamblers too--at least a thousand or more.

Almost no one was completely healthy. Some looked well on the outside, but actually they had lost some important organs inside of them.

They were led to the second floor. A door was opened and several people were already sitting there.

They were the one-eyed middle-aged man, a grey-haired old man--who was the only sound person there, and a middle-aged woman leaning on a stick.

The old man who was sitting in the middle gravely stared at the ring on Lola's finger when she and Jordan entered.

"Who are you? Why are you wearing our Blood Sacrifice's ring?" The elder Lucien Spencer seriously looked at the two young people.

Jordan threw a glance at his sister, and murmured. "It's given by Mrs. Spencer. I will return it to her after using." And she repeated his words briefly.

"Who is this Mrs. Spencer you just mentioned?" Lucien refrained from getting too excited, and wondered whether it was really his younger sister.

"She is Mrs. Ebisu." Yes, it's her! He hadn't seen her for years.

Lucien controlled his emotions. He couldn't understand why his sister would have given such an important object to a stranger. The two young people must have a purpose. They must be very important people.

"What do you want in Mando Bay?" He asked impassively.

Jordan exchanged a glance with Lola, and replied, "We are just passing by Mando Bay to go south."


South of Mando Bay? Lucien frowned because he knew there was a borderless glacier in the south. What would they do there? Would they...

"Do you know anything about Mrs. Spencer's current situation?" He was more concerned about this.

Lola shook her head honestly for she had never even seen the face of Mrs. Spencer.

Filled with disappointment, Lucien turned to Zayn and said: "Do entertain these two honorable guests well. Make them feel very comfortable." Then he stood up and left the hall through a side door.

Zayn stood up and looked at the two young people. "Follow me."

Suddenly, a string of sharp gunshots came from downstairs, followed by screams and shrills.

Zayn and the woman seemed to hear nothing at all. Lola trembled slightly and followed Zayn.

Now the three people had come to a row of rooms. "Here are the guest rooms. Please do make yourself at home." Zayn pointed at the two doors across from each other.

"Thank you!" Jordan nodded at Zayn and motioned for his sister to enter the room first.

Zayn left after making sure that both of them had entered the room.

Lola looked around the room and found that the bed, the sofa, and all pieces of furniture were in European style.

She put her backpack on the table and walked to the window. She casually looked outside.

In the neighborhood, there was a three-storey building with a billboard of drugs on its front. How chaotic it is here that even drug houses can exist in a place where many people come and go?

He lied on the bed, thinking of her children and her husband.

Suddenly, someone knocked at the door, and she immediately was on alert. "Who is there?"

"It's me." Having confirmed it was Jordan's voice, she opened the door at once.

Jordan looked around to make sure that he was not being spied on, and went inside.

"We are under house arrest." He lowered his voice to tell this bad news to his sister.

Lola swept her eyes around the room but did not find any cameras. "How come?" She stared at her brother in shock, wondering why even the ring couldn't help.

"Give the old pocket watch to me. I'm sure they are planning to do something."Jordan whispered in his sister's ear.

Lola was about to give the old pocket watch to his brother. But she was astonished to notice that his ear was pierced. "He is in disguise! He is not Jordan" thought Lola.

"What are you talking about, brother? What old pocket watch?" She smiled like everything was normal and turned her eyes to the objects in the room.

The man frowned at her, with a suspicious look in his eyes. "Give it to me quick. Hurry!"

Lola swallowed down her fear and stared at the man with confusion. "Are you okay, my dear brother? What are you babbling about? I don't know what you're talking about."

The man couldn't see she was lying because she seemed rather relaxed. He cleared his throat and replied, "Well, I had just heard them saying you had the old pocket watch. As you don't have one, just forget about it. Now I'll just get back to my room."
