Upon hearing her voice, everyone was quiet, which meant she had a say in the mercenaries. Robert had to respond. “Foxy, it’s none of your business.” “You bullied women, then it’s my business.” The woman called Foxy lit a cigar, putting her thin arms on the armchair, and looked indifferent. “You’d better not touch her.” The others laughed, and most were supportive of Foxy. Robert was angry. “But her men touched my girl, I have to deal with that.” The bruised Whitey, who Robert’s men had beaten up, was very angry. “It’s her who asked me to drink with her and said she adores soldiers of the Alliance, I even didn’t touch her hand….” Foxy squinted and said to Emerald. “It’s your man’s fault. If he can’t make a move on a girl, it means that he’s useless.” Emerald lowered her voice. “So, what do you want?” Now the woman obviously became the boss. Hearing Emerald’s words, Foxy’s eyes lit up as she smiled sweetly. Her long finger pointed to Emerald and Robert. “You two, play cards with me! If a wild kitten wins, Robert gives all his money to her; if Robert wins, the wild kitten gives all her money to Robert and leaves your cheetah here.” “...fine.” Robert was reluctant. It was important to save his face, but a cheetah was far more valuable than a woman. And his face could be spared if he won her. “And if I win, he must give way to me afterward.” Emerald’s voice was loud. Everyone laughed and agreed to the bet. Foxy was also pleased and agreed. “What if you lose?” Emerald asked Foxy. Foxy laughed. She took a stash of alliance money and threw it on the table, “the money and me.”The mercenaries and the miners around all cheered up. The three-people gamble was soon all everyone talked about at the bar. Even the DJ in the center announced the gamble loudly. Several hundred people on this floor came to them and crowded every corner of the bar; the second floor was quieter. Among the expensive balconies, many heard the introduction by the DJ and came to the aisle to look down. In the beginning, seeing Foxy in high spirits, Emerald thought she was a good card player and concentrated on memorizing the cards. However, she lost in the first round..... Emerald swept the floor, Robert won by a narrow margin, but Foxy...lost miserably. Frustrated, she pushed a stash of money to Emerald and stripped off her military coat, exposing her good figure in the shirt as she exclaimed, “next round!” Emerald understood. She was an addicted gambler without techniques. Everyone cheered up. Emerald’s men knew she was good at playing cards and also cheered up upon seeing her victory. Emerald won the second round again. This time Robert lost the most for his mistake. His face darkened as he took a stash of money from his chest and threw it to Elli after calculation. Then he laughed and stripped off the military coat, exposing his muscles in a vest. Jeff and the other soldiers had already drunk some wine and were in harmony with the mercenaries to watch the exciting gamble. Only Emerald was in a cold sweat, she couldn’t lose... However, after three rounds, every dog had its day. Robert had the good cards and laughed loudly. Although he was stripped to nothing in his upper body, he stared at Emerald in a threatening manner. “Strip off!” “No such bet at the beginning!” Emerald threw the money. Robert was indagated and couldn’t be convinced. “You don’t want to follow the rules?” Sister Foxy, who by now was only wearing a bra only and even covering her private area with one hand, couldn’t agree with Emerald. “When men and women play cards, the loser strips off their clothes. It’s the routine of the mercenary. Do you want to break it publicly?” Emerald was unlucky because she took off her coat subconsciously when she stepped into the pub. Now, if she took off clothes, she would only have the bra on her upper and pantie in the lower body. She pretended to be calm. “Put it on my credit this round.”. “What! Not fair!” Robert was angry. “I didn’t know the routine.” Despite Robert’s reluctance and the others’ booing, she distributed the cards. Emerald was unlucky today. This round, the Foxy, who had been losing all night, won. Emerald was in a dilemma. “Take off! Take off! Take off! “The men around here were cheering in high spirits! Only a shirt and pants covered Emerald’s figure, but they couldn’t wait to see what was under her clothes, especially as she was the well-known wild kitten, which was enough to arouse their imagination. Even Jeff looked at Emerald with drunken eyes. They seemed to think that taking off clothes was nothing but entertainment within the atmosphere. Emerald’s face was on fire. Although a bikini was nothing special in her time, it was still a challenge to her. But now, she couldn’t refuse it. Seeing the nearly-naked Foxy and Robert, she was still likely to win. Although reluctant, she began to unbutton her shirt. Emerald, who was always calm in her subordinate’s eyes, trembled in her hands. But when her fingers touched the sleeve and the jade-like shoulders were exposed, everyone was quiet, holding their breath and looking at her elegant waistline, the snow-white breast under the dark bra, and her slim and white legs.The bar became weirdly quiet, but everyone somehow felt agitated without reason. Emerald’s face was red as blood. Maybe it formed from the alcohol and tensioned atmosphere, and she felt a little faint. “Next round!” Her voice clearly resounded in the bar. “Yeah!” Men seemed to be all stirred by her straight challenge. “I’ll bet on her.” At this moment, a calm voice appeared. Although it was noisy around and the voice was low, everyone heard it clearly. However, Emerald turned stressed on hearing the voice, as if it was a snake, crawling swiftly upon her back and making her rigid and sweaty. Everyone turned around and gave way to the man who was approaching slowly. With his hands inside the pockets of his uniform pants, a tall man came downstairs from the second floor in a cold complexion.Though in the most ordinary mercenary uniform, he looked extraordinarily handsome. With wide shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, he was rolling into the mercenary’s laziness and the soldier’s fortitude. He made all women’s eyes shine. Above the black uniform, he raised his head slightly, and the dark eyebrows and deep eyes demanded all attention. The light cast a slight shadow on his nose, with a vague smile on his face, making everyone overwhelmed without reason. He walked from the crowd and made them his background. But his deep eyes were clung to Emerald’s snow-white, smooth body. Despite the smile, his face turned extremely cold.
