Chapter 440 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
It was a rather aggressive name for a place where wealth and fortune were gathered.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It was said that there were various gambling games inside, including boxing bets and many other exciting entertainments.
Not only was it a money squandering den, and it was also the entertainment outlet loved by the rich.
Most of the people who came here were rich and powerful people from all over the world.
Clarissa got out of the car with Nora and David, threw the key to the valet, before entering the door of the club.
It was daytime, so there were only a few people inside. However, she knew that it was just a façade.
On the surface, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a pub rock, but in fact, the most exciting bits were located underground.
Moreover, as far as she knew, many people from the Lost Vanguard loved to hang out here. If she was right, she might bump into her old acquaintances here!
Thinking of this, Clarissa clenched her fingers and slowly walked through the dimly lit hall. The corridor was dark with the lights off.
According to the information she had gotten before, there was a lift in a secluded corner. If you didn't pay attention to it, it was likely to be ignored.
When the elevator door opened, she walked in and pressed the second lower ground button.
Soon, it arrived on the second lower ground floor.
When the elevator door opened again, in front of her was a bustling scene.
It was an underground market with lights flashing and filled with the roar of the crowd. All kinds of gambling games were provided. were scattered. Not far away, there was a boxing ring and two boxers were competing. The gamblers kept shouting and roaring. The thundering sound almost tore down the building.
It could be seen that the business was booming.
Clarissa slowly lifted the corners of her mouth, but there was a hint of irony in her dark eyes.
At this moment, a waiter walked up to her, bending at a 45 degree angle, and asked respectfully, "Ladies and gentlemen, what can I do for you?"
She walked forward, looking around as she walked, and said in a low voice, "I'm looking for your boss."
The waiter was obviously taken aback.
With a smile, he said, "Please wait a moment."
After that, he turned and left.
After a while, he came to them bringing a slightly fat middle-aged man with him.
"Miss, are you looking for me?"
The middle-aged man smiled politely and calmly.
Clarissa didn't even look at him.
"I haven't been here for a few days, and someone else is in charge of the casino already? In this case, it seems that I can only keep the good stuff in my hands to myself."
After that, she turned around and left.
The middle-aged man's pupils constricted.
He waved his hand and gestured for the waiter to leave. Then, he smiled and said, "Miss, please wait a moment. I wonder what are the things you want to hand over to my boss?"
The corners of Clarissa's mouth curled up, as she looked at him with a faint smile.
"Take me to see him, or if I step out of this door today, your boss will regret it."
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly and suddenly became serious.
He said in a low voice, "Please wait a moment."
After that, he walked to the front desk and picked up the phone.
Clarissa waited patiently. The three just stood there and waited quietly.
After a while, he strode over. This time, he was obviously more respectful than before. He moved his right hand forward and said, "Please come with me."
The middle-aged man led them to take the lift and went to the second floor.
After a short pause at the door, the middle-aged man knocked on the door and heard a deep male voice. "Come in!"
The door slowly opened.
A sneer flashed across Clarissa's face. Who would have thought that a nobody in the Lost Vanguard would be somebody today!
Every new sovereign brought his own courtiers.
She let Nora and David stay outside the door and then entered the room alone.
The decoration in the room was very luxurious. Behind the big wooden table, a man with a cropped haircut sat in an office chair and slowly turned around.
Mick Jabbil!
One of Blade Scar's right-hand men for the time being.
When Mick saw her, he was clearly a little surprised.
The woman in front of Mick was wearing a light blue shirt and a pair of white cropped pants. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a pure temperament. She did not look like a person who would appear in such a place at all.
With a flash of surprise in his eyes, he waved his hand dismissively and asked the middle-aged man to leave.
"I heard that you have something for me?"
He looked at Clarissa with a playful look. He neither asked her about her identity nor asked her to sit down.
Clarissa didn't mind at all. She took out a document from her bag and threw it on the table.
While he was flipping through the pages, Clarissa recited, "Last year in March, six people died due to the organization seeking exorbitant profits from the illegal boxing. In April last year, a large-scale brawl broke out due to a dispute over the distribution of profits, and 12 people died. In July last year, in order to manipulate the gamble, the contestant's food was spiked with a muscle atrophy agent, leading to the paralysis of the boxing champion of Behdorlatt City. In December last year..."
"That's enough!"
Mick snapped the file shut and his facial expression darkened.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
It was only then that Clarissa's lips slowly curled up into a smile. "Aren't you going to invite me to sit?"
Mick reached out and pressed the service bell on the table. Soon, the middle-aged man's voice sounded outside the door.
"Go make a cup of coffee for this lady."
"Yes sir!"
After the middle-aged man left, Clarissa sat face to face with Mick at the table.
Soon, the coffee was ready and delivered to Clarissa.
She smiled and even politely said thank you.
Mick's face was a little contorted.
"Now you can tell me, what's your motive? And where did these things come from?"
Over the years, he had helped Blade Scar manage the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. He thought that he had done it neatly without leaving any evidence behind. Therefore, he was stunned to see this evidence being presented to him by Clarissa.
F Country was a country that strongly upheld the rule of law. However, they had operated a casino to seek an exorbitant profit and had killed so many people. If this piece of information was exposed, death punishment was inevitable for him!
He was not naïve enough to think that as long as Clarissa stayed here, the information would not be exposed!
Even though she knew his identity, Clarissa still dared to bring only two people along with her. Either Clarissa had a solid background that could inhibit him from laying his hands on her, or her capability!
Obviously, Clarissa belonged to the first category at the moment.
Clarissa gracefully picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said, "Don't be nervous. I'm bringing all these just to make a deal with you."
"A deal?"
"Yes!" Clarissa leisurely leaned on the back of the chair and crossed her hands in front of her. Her action at this moment was out of place with her young and innocent appearance.
But Clarissa didn't seem to be aware of it and said, "I heard that your boss is called Blade Scar, and you have a deadly enemy, named Dylan?"
Mick stared at her and said nothing.
Silence was acquiescence.
Clarissa curled her lips and continued, "As far as I know, you and Dylan have never been on good terms. But Blade Scar, who knows about your grievances, yet he brought her here to manage the casino, holding the same position as you. Do you know why?"
Mick's eyes dimmed a little. Even though it was only for a moment, Clarissa had caught sight of it with her sharp eyes.
