The Pinnacle Of Life

Thea jumped up in an instant. “Are you kidding me? I didn’t make a bet with you. The bet was between Alex and I. What has that got to do with you?”

The female attendant shook her head. “But, you made that bet while in the Golden Tower, so you have to follow the rules of the building! If you’re not willing to admit your defeat, then you can leave a hand behind. Whether it’s your left or right, the choice is entirely up to you.”

As she spoke, she beckoned to something at the side. Immediately, a security guard of the Golden Tower came over. He had a fierce look upon his face, and a sharp machete in his hand.

Thea was frightened to the point she almost peed her pants. She hurriedly shouted, “I admit my loss. I am willing to admit my defeat! I can still fulfill the agreement, right?”

As she said that, she immediately knelt in front of Alex and loudly shouted, “Father, father! I admit defeat. Please don’t let him cut off my hand!”

Alex chuckled lightly, then nodded to the attendant.

The female attendant pointed at the stone cutting place next to her and said, “That’s a free stone cutting space. You may go there now to cut your ores, sir.”

Alex shook his head. “It’s fine. I have a hobby where I like to take back the ores and cut them slowly myself. Just send these ores to the inn where I’m staying.”

He didn’t expect the attendant to shake her head and disagree. “Apologies, sir. There is a rule in the Golden Tower that all ores purchased here must be cut open before they can be brought out. The ores are not allowed to be taken out of this building.”

“What? There’s such a rule?”

Alex was stunned.
