Chapter 227: Shriek of Misery

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

All of Tony’s underlings looked at the dice stuck in the wall with astonishment all over their faces. Seeing that the dice had pierced through Tony’s wrist and bore a hole in it, they huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe.

Joe reacted very quickly. After seeing that Tony had been subdued by a tiny dice that Lucas threw, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the dagger with resentment in his eyes, and then ruthlessly and accurately slashed Tony’s wrist!

“Waahhh!” Tony shrieked miserably as his entire right hand was severed by the sharp dagger!

His severed hand fell to the ground, and fresh blood immediately gushed out of his wrist. There was instantly a pool of blood.

The underlings began shuddering in fear, feeling intimidated by Joe’s ruthlessness.

Due to the intense and excruciating pain in his wrist, Tony’s eyes rolled backward uncontrollably, and he passed out in pain.

But his miserable shriek had already penetrated through the walls of the room and spread outside.

The people who were waiting to hear the outcome of the gamble outside couldn’t help but shudder in fear when they heard the miserable shriek. Then they started whispering among themselves.

“Wow, listen to this. He’s shrieking so miserably. Tony must have taught him a hard lesson!”

“Of course. Tony is the boss of Little Atlantis City! That punk happened to get into a conflict with Tony here, so he must have been dealt with harshly!”

“Hey, I just advised that young man to take the money and leave, but he refused to heed my advice. Great, he might just die now!”

“No way. Would Tony really kill someone in Little Atlantis City?” asked a bewildered newcomer who had just arrived to gamble.

“Hehe, that’s hard to say! After all, it’s not like there hasn’t been anyone who died here before. Everyone here knows that such things have happened in the past.”

“Oh my goodness… Tsk, it’s really terrifying.”

The crowd was lively, and they were all chatting with one another. Of course, they made sure to keep their voices low when talking about the casualties in Little Atlantis City. After all, there were security guards and service staff of Little Atlantis City everywhere. If someone added fuel to the fire and informed Tony about it, they might be dealt with severely.

But they all felt that the person who had shrieked in misery was definitely Lucas, the young man who bet against Tony. None of them thought that Tony was the one who had shrieked.

Cheyenne, whom Lucas had asked to go out of the room, was now standing outside the room with her face as pale as a sheet and her body extremely cold.

Although she felt that the voice didn’t seem to belong to Lucas, the shriek sounded really miserable, and it was almost off-key. She thought that it might have been distorted since it passed through the walls.

Besides, in that private room, everyone except Lucas was Tony’s underlings. There were more than ten of them, so she thought it was very likely that the only possible person who had screamed was Lucas.

Cheyenne was so anxious that she couldn’t think of anything else, and she wanted to dash into the room after pushing Lena’s hand away.

But several security guards were guarding the entrance to the room, all of whom pushed Cheyenne to the side hostilely, not allowing her to get close at all.

With a look of despair in her eyes, Cheyenne felt extremely worried. But as a vulnerable woman, there was nothing she could do now.

She had no choice but to grab Lena’s hand helplessly and ask in a shaky voice, “What should we do? Could something have happened to him? If I had known… If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let him go up against Tony Zander…”

Seeing Cheyenne’s bizarre reaction, Lena finally realized that the relationship between Cheyenne and the person she thought was a crook trying to take Cheyenne away seemed to be more complicated than she thought.

“Cheyenne, do you guys… know each other?” Lena asked hesitantly.

But Cheyenne was now overwhelmed with anxiety and didn’t have the time to explain to her at all.

Inside the private room, Joe’s eyes were full of delight as he relished in taking revenge after cutting off one of Tony’s hands with his own hands.

Everyone else in the room was astonished and horrified, except Lucas, who was the only one remaining composed in his seat without a change in expression. He acted as though he didn’t see all that blood on the ground and the bloodied, severed hand.

Clang!

Joe dropped the dagger in his hand, walked to Lucas, and suddenly dropped onto his knees with a loud thud.

“Mr. Gray, you saved my life and helped me take revenge. I will definitely be loyal to you in the future. Please give me the chance!”

The group of people huddling up in the corner couldn’t help but be incredibly shocked when they saw this.

Although Joe was Tony’s henchman, he was given the chance of holding a high position in Little Atlantis City and became the manager of the Opulence because he was extremely intelligent and good at management.

Joe could be considered the person with the second-highest status in Little Atlantis City, second only to Tony. It was up to him to manage the staff of Little Atlantis City, and he held a significant position among the underground eco-chain of Orange County.

But such a powerful person was now kneeling in front of the young man they had never seen before. He even wanted to submit to Lucas and be at his disposal!

If they didn’t know that Joe had always been a smart person, they would have thought that he was out of his mind or scared silly at this point.

In their opinion, there was nothing unusual about the young man in front of them, except that he was a little bolder and wealthier than most people. They were also stunned by the fact that he had used a dice to pierce through Tony’s wrist.

In other words, he just had some martial arts background.

But other impressive experts would definitely be able to do that too!

So they were puzzled as to why Joe had knelt and defected to him.

They even suspected that Lucas and Joe had colluded long ago and that today’s events were all part of a plan that they had devised to lure Tony into the room and then take the opportunity to attack him so that they could encroach on his power.

Lucas didn’t care about what they were thinking and said calmly to Joe, who was kneeling down in front of him respectfully, “Get up.”

“Yes!” Joe immediately obeyed. He stood up, walked to Lucas’s side, and looked down, as if he had already become Lucas’s underling.

Lucas glanced at the people in the corner before saying calmly, “As I said before, whoever has the guts to kill Tony Zander will become the new owner of Little Atlantis City. From now on, Joe Daniels will be in charge of Little Atlantis City!”
