Chapter 231 The Box Sacrifice
At the suburban farm in Dek State's Rio Town, when Mr. Box heard the reply, the long-standing gloom was swept away!
He thought, 'My children are coming to see me. Looks like they completed the mission!They will bring me a gift-Paul Three's head! Then, like kids, they'll ask me for candy. My lovely children, I have candy for you.'
Mr. Box was delighted.
He rummaged through his belongings with great seriousness and found a dusty metal box. After much effort to open it, he discovered only two moldy chocolates inside.
He thought, 'No more candy. Never mind, my children wouldn't like it anyway; they only like killing.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Barney, we're here to play bridge!"
"Open up the door!" The voice came from Mr. Box's neighbors, three old farmers.
'Oh? It's Hank and the others!'
A strange smile flashed across Mr. Box's face as he shakily found his silver revolver in the drawer. He counted the three bullets on his hand and then wedged the gun under the sofa cushions.
He then put on a good-natured smile.
He thought, 'These bastards always trampled my garden, and let their dogs pee in front of my door! Today, anyone who dares to beat me is going to meet their maker!'
Mr. Box had been tormented by Elbert for a month and was utterly exhausted.
He possessed endless wealth.
He had already decided that after killing Elbert, he would move to the most prosperous Hatton City in Victoria!
In that case, these annoying neighbors could die!
Mr. Box opened the wooden door with a smile. "Hank, sorry, but I don't have any booze at home, just white flowers for graves!"
An old man with a white beard outside raised his hand, showing the whiskey. "Barney, stop joking around. I bring it myself, and today I'm going to beat you up!"
Mr. Box pouted and nodded. "Well, come in!"
The four sat around a shabby coffee table, ready to start the game.
Bridge was a four-player card game where each player played one card per round, and the game was scored based on points.
However, Mr. Box was extraordinarily lucky today, winning continuously and scoring continuously!
"Oh!" Mr. Box won another round, looking at his cards excitedly. 'I was planning to kill you old guys today, but it seems my luck won't allow it!'
Hank smirked. "Club King, Trump King!"
"Barney, you can't win me this time, haha!"
They laughed heartily!
However, they didn't notice that, despite losing just one hand, Mr. Box's face turned grim, gritting his teeth.
He slowly reached for the sofa cushions with one hand!
At that moment, the wooden door of the house was pushed open!
A young man in a white shirt from Veridiania walked in slowly.
Mr. Box vigorously rubbed his eyes and then widened them in sheer astonishment.
He knew this man very well! It was Target Paul Three!
How did he find this place?
Elbert glanced around, easily identifying Mr. Box from their expressions!
As his gaze focused, Elbert clearly saw the half of the gun handle in Mr. Box's hand!
Elbert smiled slightly, saying to the other old men, "Guys, it's time to go home and water your gardens!"
Hank took a swig of vodka, already a bit tipsy. "Who is this kid?"
Mr. Box had already pulled out his gun, firing wildly at Elbert!
Unfortunately, there were only three bullets in the gun!
Elbert straightened up slightly.
He was unharmed!
The three old men were terrified by the sudden gunfire, scrambling to escape!
Elbert slowly sat down, looking at the scattered cards on the floor, and smiled at Mr. Box. "I just happen to bring a new deck of cards. How about play with me?"
Mr. Box still held the gun, his expression blank.
Elbert could dodge bullets at such close range, stronger than my children!
Mr. Box now knew clearly that he was a lamb to the slaughter in front of him!
Elbert slowly took out a deck of metal playing cards from his pocket, only vaguely visible as a thick stack.
Mr. Box's heart suddenly raced, and his facial muscles twitched!
'Oh my God! Those were my children!' his inner voice exclaimed.
"How did you escape Invictus and Chain Bridge's pursuit? How did you find this place?" Mr. Box glared angrily at Elbert.
Elbert poked a stack of cards on the table and smiled. "Doesn't it feel like when you just received the kill order and were considering which card to use to assassinate me?"
Mr. Box's breathing quickened, his eyes widened, and his body stiffened!
Elbert slowly drew a seven of spades and placed it on the table. "At first, you played a seven of spades. Then I did live streaming."
Elbert drew a nine of spades. "Then you played a nine of spades, and I threw out a lighter. Then you played a club king, and I threw a punch."
Elbert methodically placed each card on the table. "You played a club four. I threw another punch."
Mr. Box's lips turned pale.
'Live streaming?
A lighter?
A punch?
Could it be that my excellent children could only withstand one punch from you?' he thought.
As Mr. Box watched Elbert draw the cards one by one, sweat began to break on his forehead, yet he didn't dare to move!
'My dear Invictus, where were you? Came save me!' Mr. Box said inwardly.
Until Elbert laid out the 40th card, Mr. Box suddenly clutched his heart!
Elbert slowly said, "Then you played four Aces."
"Summer threw a punch, and I punch him back!"
Mr. Box was struck like lightning!
His heart couldn't take it!
He reached out his old, wrinkled hand, trying to grab the quick-acting heart pills on the table!
Elbert glanced up and continued laying out the cards. "I came to tell you that in this world, there are always beings you can't afford to provoke. But you're also lucky; you've killed people all your life, and then you finally meet me! Now, the game is over!"
Elbert slowly placed the 50th card!
At this point, except for Quentin and Jessica's cards, only two jokers were missing!
Mr. Box finally grabbed the quick-acting heart pills!
Just as he was about to swallow them, he suddenly saw Elbert take out a Five of Hearts.
He stopped his action of taking the pills.
A look of madness flashed in Box's eyes!
The five of hearts was Kofi's guard!
"Paul Three, the devil, did you meet Mr. Kofi?"
"Yes, I did. He's dead," Elbert said expressionlessly.
Mr. Box suddenly threw the pill bottle away!
It seemed he didn't want to live anymore!
"Paul Three, the devil! You are about to face reckless punishment and be judged by hell!
I will die without regret! In your cards, there is no supreme Joker!"
The fanaticism in Mr. Box's eyes grew stronger!
He looked into the void, a look of reverence on his face!
His voice changed.
Inside his mouth, he used his tongue to remove a false molar, which concealed a tiny, deadly capsule!
As long as he bit it, he would be poisoned to death instantly!
Box had participated in World War II, and this method of hiding poison in false teeth was standard for wartime spies!
Once captured by the enemy, spies would use this method to commit suicide to avoid torture!
Mr. Box's veins bulged, and he growled in a low voice, "You, you don't understand the mission of the Card Club at all! You can't even imagine the power of the Card Club! You will be sacrificed to the great Joker! Compared to Joker, you are just a worm on expired cheese! You are just a fly on cow dung! Mr. Kofi has already sacrificed himself for Joker! And I will also sacrifice myself to the great Joker! As for you, the endless fires of hell will consume your soul."
Elbert lightly raised his hand, hitting Mr. Box's chin!
The capsule in Box's mouth not only broke but was also swallowed directly!
Elbert frowned and said, "Stop talking, it is very annoying!"
Mr. Box clutched his throat, struggling to say, "I will take your skull..."
Before he could finish, Mr. Box leaned back on the sofa and died instantly!
Elbert shook his head slightly.
Finally, some peace and quiet!
The Card Club was falling apart. At least there wouldn't be endless assassins bothering him!
As for those two jokers, a hint of anticipation rose in Elbert's heart.
They should be at least B+ grade modified humans to be included in the gene pool!
