When I looked at the waiter, there was murderous intent in my eyes: "You will be punished."
The waiter said with a smile: "Sir, can I understand that you are threatening me?"
My expression turned grim, and a bodyguard ran down quickly: "Mr. Wang Huan? Sir, please go back."
I looked at him with a half-smile but said, "I'm being searched by this gentleman. I'm afraid I don't have time to go back with you."
The bodyguard's expression suddenly changed and he looked coldly at the waiter. The latter quickly started talking to the other party in English. After the two of them spoke for a few words, the bodyguard said in Chinese: "Mr. Wang Huan, about this waiter. We can talk about things later. Now there are some things that urgently require you to go back. Do you think... "
When I was about to speak, Old Jack also walked over quickly and whispered in my ear: "The opportunity has come, but things are a bit troublesome. You come back with me first and then talk about it."
As soon as I saw Old Jack's slightly solemn expression, I knew that things above were not as smooth as I thought. He nodded slightly to Old Jack and followed him towards the hall.
Along the way, Old Jack hesitated several times and glanced at the bodyguard beside me from the corner of his eyes.
He probably had something to say, but he never found the chance because the bodyguard was too close to me.
Old Jack can't transmit messages internally, and I can't guess what's going on in the hall, so I can only quietly transmit messages to Ye Xun and others, asking them to be more careful.
When I became the focus of the gentlemen in the hall again, their eyes obviously had something else in mind when they looked at me.
The old wolf stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Wang, unfortunately, what you said was a strange accident. Our Mr. Lawrence was injured by an exploding wine glass. But..."
The old wolf stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Arthur disagrees with the statement that there was an accident."
When I looked at the middle-aged man next to Lao Lang, who looked pale due to fatigue and had some dark circles under his eyes, the latter also nodded in greeting to me.
Old Wolf said: "I forgot to introduce you, Mr. Arthur is a famous private detective and a senior member of the Wyke Club. In his opinion, your so-called accident is just an unusually well-arranged murder."
I have to say that the man named Arthur is quite capable. He exposed Li Xiaomao's forged "miracle" in one sentence.
When I entered the lobby for the first time, Li Mao Mao stood in the corridor and did not come in. At that time, a waiter delivering red wine happened to pass by the corridor. After Li Mao Mao confused the waiter, he tampered with his wine glass.
As long as Li Mao Mao controls the waiter to bring the wine glass to the fat man, it will be enough to cost him an eye.
I looked at Arthur with a half-smile: "Excuse me, this famous detective. Do you have any evidence to prove that it was a murder?"
Arthur took out a plastic bag: "Here are the complete fragments of the wine glass. I believe there should be someone's fingerprints on it, such as the gentleman over there."
Arthur was referring to Li Xiaomao.
"You said it was him?" I then turned around and pointed at someone, giving Old Jack a wink.
The latter suddenly understood and stood up and said: "Old Wolf, how about we make a bet? The bet is thirty million pounds. I bet that what was performed in this hall just now was a miracle."
"It's a very interesting bet!" Old Wolf nodded slightly and said, "However, I want to increase the stakes and increase the bet."
Old Jack looked at the other party with interest: "How do you want to bet?"
The old wolf pointed at Arthur: "If Mr. Arthur can't prove that this was a murder. I hope we can have another bet."
"According to what Mr. Wang means, sorcerers should be the spokespersons of gods in the world, right? I'll bet that Mr. Wang can continue to perform miracles in front of us, with each round increasing by 30 million pounds, until I give in, or Until his miracles are revealed. What do you think?"
As soon as the old wolf finished speaking, everyone exclaimed. The incremental increase of 30 million means that the first game is 30 million, the second game is 60 million, the third game is 90 million, and so on. After a few games, the bet will reach an astonishing number.
Old Jack couldn't help but frown: The most critical part of this bet is when Old Wolf and Arthur can see through our tricks. If the opponent never has this ability, we will keep winning. Once we lose a round, not only will Old Jack not get a penny, but we will also be charged with murder.
A murder in the Wyke Club is enough to make us unable to stand in Britain, and we can only choose to evacuate immediately.
When Old Jack couldn't help but look at me, my lips trembled slightly and I used my inner strength to convey to him: "Believe me."
After all, old Jack has not been with us through life and death. If I ask him to risk his wealth and life to help me act, he may not agree.
After I transmitted the message to him, I quickly began to figure out countermeasures.
But at this moment, the old wolf said: "Mr. Jack, don't you dare? This is not your style?"
Old Jack smiled and said: "I am calculating how many bets your assets can support? Mr. Wang Huan, go ahead and do it. I look forward to your miracles."
When I raised my thumb to Old Jack, the latter turned to Arthur and asked: "Mr. Private Detective, have you found the evidence? Our bet is about to begin."
Arthur shook his head slightly and said nothing more. Li Xiaomao beside me showed a leisurely sneer. The trap she made, even the old Jianghu would stumble, so how could it be easily seen through
The old wolf stood up and said: "As far as I know, miracles are omnipotent. So! The miracle I want to see does not lie with you, but with me. I will come up with the question, how about you perform it?"
I nodded expressionlessly and said, "It's up to you."
No matter Old Wolf or Arthur, no one is a fool. What's more, the members in the club are not rich people who have never seen the world. It is not easy to fool them.
The only thing I can do now is not to have stage fright.
The old wolf said slowly: "Judging from what happened to Mr. Lawrence just now, anyone who insults a warlock will be punished, right?"
The old wolf didn't wait for my answer and said: "As far as I know, something very unpleasant happened between Mr. Wang and a waiter at the club just now. I want to see if that waiter will be punished by God?"
I pointed to the hall: "Here?"
"Of course!" Old Wolf nodded and said, "The less likely it is for a miracle to occur in a place where divine punishment occurs, the better it illustrates the problem. If Mr. Wang doesn't mind, I can arrange for him to come over right away."
"Please!" After I made a gesture, Lao Lang's bodyguard walked away quickly. After a while, the waiter was brought back. At this moment, the arrogance on his face was gone, leaving only a look of death, and his feet were swaying as if they were stepping on cotton.
The bodyguard led the man to the middle of the hall before retreating far away, but Arthur interrupted: "Wait a minute, I still have some things to deal with."
When I looked at Arthur inexplicably, the latter waved slightly, and soon someone brought in several large fish tanks filled with water from outside, and the waiter surrounded him.
Arthur said slowly: "As far as I know, there is something called Qigong in China. But it can hurt people without leaving any trace. I think Mr. Wang should also be a Qigong master, right? In order to prevent Mr. Wang from cheating with Qigong, I can only use some small means."
I smiled lightly: "You can still take some precautions, I'm not in a hurry."
I have to say, Arthur is well informed.
With Ye Xun and I's internal strength, we can indeed kill the waiter silently from this distance. However, if the other party adds several fish tanks, the situation will be different.
Even if a master like Qin Baiyi comes, he can only kill people without damaging the fish tank, but he cannot stop the fluctuation of the water in the tank.
As long as the water in the fish tank fluctuates, Arthur can determine from which direction we moved.
Arthur put his hands behind his back and said: "Mr. Wang, if you don't mind, can I let you take a few steps back? I think even if you are not in the hall, divine punishment will be activated, right?"
"No problem!" As I stepped back, Li Maomao quietly tapped me twice. She probably meant that she hadn't had time to do anything on the fish tank.
I retreated to the edge of the hall before Arthur said: "Gentlemen, can we please wait quietly for the divine punishment to happen? The divine punishment suffered by Mr. Lawrence just now only happened in three minutes. I don't think this gentleman can do it either." It’ll be too long to wait.”
As soon as Arthur finished speaking, I suddenly frowned, and the ax blade of Xing Tianzhan whizzed out from between my eyebrows, circling in the hall with a sound like a ghost crying.
Everyone subconsciously raised their heads to look in the direction of the howling wind, but how could their eyesight catch up with the whirling Xing Tian Zhan
When they raised their heads, Xing Tianzhan had already cut off four crystal chandeliers hanging in the hall. The shattered pieces of glass were flying all over the sky like a rainstorm, colorful. However, the murderous aura brought about by Xing Tianzhan was chilling to the bone.
The crowd was stunned by the strange sight in front of them. Before they could react, Xing Tian Zhan was already hanging above the waiter and slashing down. One of the waiter's arms instantly flew several meters away, and blood spurted out in the air. However, Xing Tianzhan slashed towards the ground unabated, and the violent aftermath traveled close to the ground, hitting the surrounding fish tanks from the inside out.
When the six fish tanks exploded at the same time, the clear water in the tank rose up several meters like waves. Just when the water splash was about to hit the ceiling, it stopped its rising momentum and collapsed. The billowing water covered the area in an instant. The whole hall.
The hall was overflowing with blood, and clear water was flowing across the floor. There were still people lying in the water, screaming and struggling for their lives. However, others were as silent as death. Even the old Jack standing next to me stared at the water all over the floor, saying, Not a word came out.
Arthur and the old wolf seemed to be stupid, standing motionless.
If they didn't move, I wouldn't make a sound to remind them.
