NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

And so, no one ever visited the card table where that person had sat again.

The problem is that Phoenix is ​​free; even if no one is willing to continue playing with him, he can still find other tables to join halfway through.

In just ten minutes, the lieutenant ruined the entire casino's business with a 100% success rate.

And so, the general manager of the Atlantis Hotel was forced to leave her executive suite and walk with elegant steps to the fifth-floor casino.

"I never thought that our Atlantis would one day have a gambling god like the Gold Coin Wars."

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

Ivy Bernard, dressed in a deep blue gown, strolled down the steps, her demeanor resembling that of the eldest princess of this underwater city.

"Taking more than 40 million from Atlantis in less than half an hour, that's quite an achievement."

If that's still not enough, I wouldn't mind transferring some more to you in my personal capacity for emergencies. I wonder how much cash flow your accounts are short?

Ivy's words, taken out of context, were quite well said, giving someone face while subtly implying that they should stop.

unfortunately,

Things rarely go as planned.

"I'm not short of money."

The man slowly removed his mask, his emerald eyes gently fixed on Ms. Ivy's noble face.

"Speaking of which, the Gold Coin Wars do owe me more than 20 million."

Chapter 213 So Unlucky?

The moment the man took off his mask

That face, which could make the nobles of the Ark sweat profusely, instantly caused Ivy Bernal's pupils to shrink to a tiny bead.

Why is he here?

In the blink of an eye, the quick-witted woman connected the dots to a possibility comparable to winning the lottery.

No wonder...

No wonder Niki was able to remain calm and collected when faced with her verbal threats, and even dared to talk to her about perfumes and cosmetics.

The one responsible for providing emotional support is this ruthless star.

"Go and bring Niki over from the suite. Show her some respect."

Being a woman who ran a business in the outer district, Ivy, realizing that death had come to her shop, instructed her subordinates while suppressing her fear and "calmly" approaching the man. Ignoring the stares of those present, she stated bluntly:

"Lieutenant, it was indeed my fault in this matter."

I'll return the person to you now, and I can assure you that I won't interfere with your actions anymore. From now on, those two Nikis will also be added to the whitelist.

How do you think this approach is?

Before Phoenix himself could even respond, the guests around him changed their expressions as soon as the woman finished speaking.

second lieutenant……?

The lieutenant who could make Missylis's daughter apologize in public?

In an instant, a name that no one wanted to mention surfaced in the minds of the privileged youths…

I just came to the outer area to relax, I hope I'm not going to have this bad luck?

The few spoiled brats who had just been cursing the lieutenant at the gambling table now felt cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

Those who were just chatting and laughing with them immediately distanced themselves and severed ties.

Each of them had such a cold expression that it was as if they had a note pasted on their face saying "I don't know this person."

……

The atmosphere was frozen solid.

Before Lieutenant Phoenix could respond, no one dared to leave the entire casino or utter a single word.

After all, it's not easy to be born into a good family, and nobody wants to be buried in the bedrock of the Ark's outskirts at a young age.

"Dear~~~"

Suddenly, a sickeningly sweet shout of joy came from outside the venue, easily breaking the suffocatingly heavy atmosphere.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautifully dressed young woman rushing toward the center of the casino.

Upon closer inspection, one can still see the light red handprint on the woman's face and the scabs of blood on her lips.

At this point, many people's scalps began to tingle.

who!

Who hit him?!

In an instant, thirty or forty complex gazes, filled with fear, surprise, and astonishment, converged on Ivy Bernal's location.

At first, they felt that it was somewhat beneath the Bernard family's status for the Bernard daughter to apologize to a gambler.

However, after realizing that the gambler's true identity was the lieutenant who had stormed the Tower of Joy, Ms. Ivy's apology was seen by them as a display of flexibility and shrewdness.

But now?

When the girl with the facial injury called out the lieutenant's affectionate nickname, everyone felt that Ivy Bernard was somewhat ungrateful.

You're the one who arrested him;

You were the one who hit him;

Now that the lieutenant has come to your door in person, do you think you can settle things with just an apology?

Then wouldn't all the two hundred or so unlucky guys who died at the hands of this killer have died in vain?

"She did it."

On the other side, Phoenix's tone remained largely unchanged as he examined the red mark on the snake's face; it was even difficult to discern whether he was asking a question or stating a fact.

However, it was precisely because the lieutenant's tone was so flat that anyone could tell that this matter was definitely not going to be left like this.

It's obvious that he was just waiting for his female companion to make a decision.

"No~"

Sensing a rare show of concern from someone, how could she, having been the viper of the lowly woman so many times, not seize the opportunity to try and turn the tables? She immediately feigned a pitiful look of having made a mistake, muttering softly:

"Hmm...it's the guy who made the call."

Not far away, Ivy, whose face was gradually turning ashen, turned her head immediately after hearing Niki's report and, before the lieutenant could speak, shouted at her chief steward:

"Bring Wheat here!"

After saying that, she turned around again, completely forgetting her noble status, and gave Phoenix a slight bow.

This is the highest level of verbal apology that ordinary people can make. Not to mention that nobles cannot do it, ordinary people may never have the nerve to bow and apologize to others in their entire lives.

Honestly, Ivy felt she was the one who had been wronged.

She never imagined that a man who could help Ingrid reach Elysium would be interested in Niki, and judging from the way he called her Viper, they seemed to have established a relationship.

This is... utterly absurd! Could it be that the CEO of Gokuraku Jodo is secretly sexually apathetic in that area?

It's one thing to leave a man like that untouched, but to let him go and mingle with humanoid war machines?

Don't say that there are plenty of rich heiresses willing to take over the Ark!

While inwardly cursing Ingrid's wasteful use of talent, Ivy solemnly made a promise to the lieutenant:

“It’s my fault for mismanaging my subordinates to use violence against prisoners. I will give you an explanation.”

Even in the face of such a dangerous public relations crisis, this woman from the Bernard family did not forget to take the main responsibility upon herself.

Unfortunately, she didn't know the specific content of Phoenix and Wright's conversation.

Similarly, the person was unaware that the handprint on the snake's face had been left before he made the call.

But none of that matters anymore.

The important thing is that the lieutenant was very angry, his anger was like hot water that was about to boil but had not yet boiled, on the verge of exploding at any moment.

"Rope, kerosene, lighter."

Ignoring Bernard's daughter's promise, Phoenix said indifferently:

"I'm used to solving problems on my own."

Chapter 214 The Femme Fatale

In fact, people of lower social standing would hardly know the meaning behind the name "Phoenix".

Just like Wright, who was summoned to the casino by the steward, although a security team leader of the Bernard family could be considered to be at the top of the pyramid in the entire Ark, Wright's status was still two or three levels below that in order to get in touch with the open secrets of the elite circle.
