Chapter 741 Gambler

Inside the spiral tower-like building, a blood church suddenly appeared.

Under the gaze of the nuns with extremely cold looks, Mo Qiao followed the blindfolded nun in front of her step by step towards the center of the church.

She saw that where the throne should have been, there was a blood-red throne.

The throne was covered with thorns, but the woman didn't seem to care at all and sat on it gracefully. She was wearing a black and red nun's uniform, and a veil covered the lower half of her face.

The woman gently folded her fingers together and looked at Mo Qiao and asked.

"Isn't this the little genius from the Huaxia Special Management Bureau? How did my daughter's gem end up in your hands?"

"...Li Muhan asked me to give you a message."

Snap——

At this moment, thorns grew from the ground, wrapped around Mo Qiao's body, and lifted the petite girl into the air.

"I should have warned Li Muhan that if she dared to let my daughter suffer any injustice, I would make her suffer a fate worse than death."

The thorns pierced Mo Qiao's clothes and skin. Her pants were also torn, and blood dripped down the thorns bit by bit.

"Little genius, why aren't you crying?"

Xia Grace chuckled and looked at Mo Qiao who was bound in mid-air.

But Mo Qiao didn't even make a sound.

"I'm here to pass on a message. If you want to take it out on me, that's fine."

"...You are such an unpleasant child."

Xia Grace stood up and walked towards Mo Qiao step by step. A nun put a translucent blood-red cloak on her. Her steps were enchanting and her expression was evil.

It was completely different from the previous meeting with Li Muhan and others.

"Li Muhan was treacherous and betrayed my daughter the day after we married. I even truly believed he could bring her happiness. If he hadn't severed all ties, even the Tara tribe wouldn't be able to sense his existence. I would have torn him into pieces by now."

"And you, little genius, how dare you mention this name in front of me?"

Thorn slowly brought Mo Qiao to Xia Grace.

She gently lifted Mo Qiao's chin with her slender fingers, then stared into his eyes and asked.

"So, what did Li Muhan ask you to tell me? Beg for mercy? He actually asked a little sister to beg for mercy on his behalf."

"Or does he think that if he lets you come, I will be merciful and not attack you?"

"You have a vivid imagination, ma'am."

Mo Qiao did not struggle. She knew that struggling would only make her more painful when bound by such thorns.

"I don't want to play dumb with you, little genius. Tell me where Li Muhan is."

"I don't know where he is. I'm just here to pass on the message."

"Oh? Then tell me what you want to tell me. Of course, no matter what you say, Li Muhan must die at the hands of the Blood Moon Church."

Xia Grace's voice gradually turned cold.

"Li Muhan asked me to tell you."

"If you want to find your husband, go to Luoyun City and find a private detective named Chu He."

"Private investigator?"

Xia Grace couldn't help herself and laughed out loud.

"I've been searching for that man for thousands of years and haven't found any trace of him. Now, you want me to find a private detective?"

"It wasn't me." Mo Qiao said indifferently, "Li Muhan asked me to tell you."

The two looked at each other and after a long silence, Xia Grace waved her hand gently, and the thorns instantly disappeared. Mo Qiao's scarred body slowly collapsed to the ground.

Her snow-white thighs were exposed from the trouser legs that were cut by thorns.

"You are very courageous, little genius. Your brain and willpower are rare in this world. I like you very much."

Xia Grace gently raised her hand and pulled Mo Qiao up from the ground. As she stood up, Mo Qiao felt that the wounds on her body were actually healing. When she stood firmly, all the wounds had quietly disappeared.

It's as if it never existed.

"Go back. As for what you said...I'll think about it again."

"You don't need to tell me." Mo Qiao turned and walked towards the church door.

When she reached the door, she turned around and looked at the nuns and Xia Grace.

"Auntie, there's something I probably shouldn't say. You don't trust Li Muchan, but you should trust your daughter. You should understand the complexity of this matter better than I do, so use your brain and think about why Li Muchan left, why he hid it from everyone, and why he asked me to tell you this. Once you've figured it out, consider whether or not to go find that detective, okay?"

Mo Qiao tapped his head with his hand, then sighed helplessly, walked out the door, and left a murmur.

"Daughters really take after their mothers; their IQs aren't very high."

…The whole church fell silent.

Even Xia Grace's expression froze.

“…She…” The woman pointed in the direction where Mo Qiao left, then looked at the nun beside her.

"Has she always been this fierce...?"

......

Although the Luoyun City Special Management Bureau is not very strong, its business capabilities can be said to be very strong.

The so-called business capabilities do not refer to the ability to accommodate aliens, but to the ability to make money.

Luoyun City is the special management bureau that cooperates most closely with the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce and has the largest black market in the country.

An entire block will be shrouded in the boundary decree. No matter day or night, the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce's business here is always so booming.

Frost Moon was wearing luxurious clothes and standing on the newly built pavilion, looking at everything below, feeling happy.

After that little devil named Li Muhan caused trouble in Pingjing City last time, the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce’s business in Pingjing City was also ruined, which was basically equivalent to the destruction of the Linyue Church.

So now her base has moved to Luoyun City.

All I can say is that the commotion wasn't all bad.

At least the reputation of the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce and the Special Management Bureau secretly joining forces to wipe out the Linyue Church has spread.

No matter who spread the news, most people who heard it thought that the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce was still under the protection of the Special Management Bureau and was reliable, and that was enough.

"President."

Master Yun walked to Shuangyue with his hands behind his back.

"I heard that a young man came to the auction today and brought a unique gemstone?"

Shuangyue smiled, took a puff of cigarette, and then blew the lavender smoke into the air.

"Yes, President, after identification, it is a sacred stone that exists in the Moon Goddess's realm. Humans call it the Blue Diamond of Hope."

"I hope it's a blue diamond..." Shuangyue shook the cigarette butt, then turned to look at Master Yun with a smile on his face: "Buy this gem."

"This gem bears the curse of the Moon Goddess. It will be useless even if I buy it, President."

Master Yun advised.

"I just like collecting these weird and wonderful things."

"Yes, President. I'll send someone to take a picture of it right away."

"No." Shuangyue seemed to be in a good mood. She patted Yun Ye's shoulder and said.

"I'm going there in person to see how grand the auction house in Luoyun City is."

......

The Luoyun City Provincial Gymnasium is located in a block that happens to be covered by the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce's boundary decree.

So this gymnasium naturally became the territory of the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce.

After some renovations, the provincial gymnasium within the Realm Decree has now been completely transformed into the auction house of the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce, a trading hall full of luxury and nobility.

The former auditorium has been redecorated, and each row of seats is covered with soft velvet and embroidered with the emblem of the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce, highlighting the authority and dignity of the chamber of commerce.

Between the seats were exquisite small tables, on which were placed champagne and various snacks for guests to enjoy during the auction.

In the center of the stadium, the originally large area had been expanded and transformed into a massive auction platform. Surrounded by high-tech holographic projection equipment, each auction item was magnified to the utmost detail, allowing bidders to clearly see every texture and luster.

There was an artificial moonlight above Lu Tian's head, emitting a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire auction hall.

The top area also has independent VIP rooms. Only those with prominent status or those who bring goods of sufficient value will be allowed to enter these areas.

Scantily clad tiger demons, flower demons or other strange creatures specialize in serving these distinguished guests.

Of course, if you are more generous, you can also get some special services.

At this moment, Chu He was sitting in a VIP box, holding a glass of iced cola in his hand.

His legs trembled involuntarily, and although he tried to hide it, the subtle movement betrayed his inner feelings.

Cold sweat was on his forehead and slid down his cheeks, as if silently telling of his anxiety and fear.

Around me, each of the beautiful and revealing people has a unique charm and alluring style.

They were dressed revealingly and moved provocatively, casting flirtatious glances at Chu He from time to time, or whispering softly, or touching him lightly, and every contact made his heart beat faster.

"Sir, are you sure you're only here for Coke? Would you like me to get you a special cocktail? I promise that after drinking the drink I mix, you will definitely... be in ecstasy."

A flower demon came up to Chu He and sat down gently. There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes. Her fingers gently stroked Chu He's arm, leaving an electric shock-like feeling.

Chu He forced a smile and shook his head.

"No, no thanks. I'm not used to drinking alcohol. I'll just drink Coke."

Chu He's reserved look made the girls even more excited.

A three-tailed fox knelt directly in front of Chu He. She deliberately leaned forward and put her chest close to Chu He's important parts.

Her mouth was slightly open, her long, slender tongue slowly drooping down, and she looked extremely seductive.

"Sir... do you need a little help? Just sit down and leave everything to me."

His heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Chu He knew that these unusual waiters were not just there to provide service. Every movement and every look of theirs was testing his bottom line and teasing his nerves.

And the so-called services they mentioned are, without a doubt... services that are absolutely not permitted by law.

Chu He stood up suddenly and walked to the window.

"You, you can go out first. I, I will stay alone for a while. Please."

The girls found Chu He's blushing face and beating heartbeat very funny. They covered their mouths and laughed secretly and then left the box.

"Well, little brother, if you need anything, just call me sister."

The cat demon who left last cast a coquettish glance at Chu He and licked his tongue.

Only when the door was closed did Chu He breathe a sigh of relief.

"That was a close call. Twenty years of hard work was almost broken."

Before he could completely relax, the sound of a symphony suddenly rang out behind him, scaring him so much that he fell to the ground.

Turning around and looking through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, I saw that a song and dance performance had already begun on the huge stage.

This means that today's auction is about to begin.

Chu He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, then took out a pocket watch to check the time.

"...Will it really go smoothly? This guy named Li Muhan is gambling too much...I hope this game I'm playing won't make me lose everything."
