Chapter 1292 Replacement, Cost
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. The next day, after lunch, Rhett gave me a medal. He happily said he found it under the carpet. At that moment, the man in the black mask gathered us in the hall again."
Xyla was holding a bag, and Natalie saw it.
It was the latest limited edition backpack, which should be worth around two hundred thousand dollars now.
"Because I was standing in the front row and holding the medal, the man in the black mask asked me what I wanted. At that time, I thought it was just a themed game, something about fulfilling wishes, all fake. So I casually said I wanted a limited edition bag."
As she spoke, her pupils trembled, and her voice tightened.
"The man in the black mask said it would be delivered to me by tonight at the latest. Then, a man holding a medal said he wanted life-saving medicine because his daughter had a terminal illness and he wanted a shot of the medicine. The man in the black mask agreed."
"There were a total of 10 medals, and people started to express their wishes one after another. I realized then that they were asking for all sorts of things."
"One person said they wanted to save their wish for last. Another person said her husband had cheated on her, moved all her assets, left her with nothing, and wanted to find a lawyer to put her in jail. She wanted the man dead, and that man was also on the cruise, part of this round."
Xyla's face turned pale, seemingly scared, and she was trembling.
"Then, that man was thrown into the sea, but by then, the ship had already sailed into international waters. Before this happened, I thought it was just a joke, a game. But I watched with my own eyes as that man was pushed into the sea. I remembered the agreement we signed at the beginning. What was the punishment? The price of life? Many people wanted to leave, but having signed the agreement, they had to follow the game rules. The rest of the afternoon was uneventful, and in the evening, someone delivered the bag to me, the latest limited edition."
Xyla touched the bag in her hand, "This one."
"We were inside for a total of 15 days, and the number of people around us gradually decreased. Everyone was scared, afraid they would be taken to an unknown place like the others. Every day, there was a round of mini-games. The losers were taken away, and the winners received rewards—money, jewelry, women, everything was available."
Natalie looked at her, "Did you see a man named Derek in there? Tall, handsome, from the South, with a bit of an accent when he speaks."
As soon as Natalie finished speaking, Xyla nodded, "Yes, I saw him. He's very handsome, left a deep impression on me. He's quite aloof, doesn't like to talk much. It seems he stayed from the previous round. His eyes are a bit fierce, and he's taller than Rhett. He had a young friend with him, but I can't remember his name."
Natalie, having learned a bit about Derek, asked repeatedly, "How is he? Where is he? Did he lose the game?"
"He, to be precise, his friend lost. But he let his friend go, he took his friend's place and was taken away. Rhett was also taken away."
Xyla suddenly remembered something, "His name is Stefan. Once, during a meal, he sat next to me, and I heard him calling his partner Stefan."
