Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

Chapter 308 Placer Gold

At the Kroc Film Park, Sand Gold frowned as he looked at the phantom that appeared before him.

That self-illusion, which he claimed was created by the power of harmony, was in fact his deepest-hidden inner demon.

The inner demon is another self, and also the one who understands him best. Therefore, in just a few words, the other person dissected the true nature beneath the glittering exterior of the gold-plated man.

He is the only remaining Evgeny in the entire universe, a survivor of a genocide orchestrated by the company's marketing department, a slave, and a pitiful man walking on the edge of the abyss.

Time and again, alligators have thrown themselves into increasingly dangerous and desperate gambles, making all-or-nothing decisions time and time again.

This wasn't because he possessed immense confidence, nor because he enjoyed thrills. There was only one truth: he both feared and longed for one thing—death.

Bearing such a deep-seated hatred and such a painful past is truly exhausting. Perhaps it's better to risk life and death.

Now, what sustains him on his journey is his mortal enemy—Oswaldo Schneider, the greatest executioner.

Even if he was met with utter nothingness after achieving his goal, he would still go on without hesitation.

In this endless tug-of-war between self-destruction and the yearning for life, a cornerstone is polished to an ever-shining brilliance, radiating an unprecedented light; its name is aventurine.

Now, this expensive cornerstone has been shattered and mixed into cheap jewels, just like him, who is nothing more than a cheap slave.

Three chips are enough.

Sand Gold calmly dispelled the illusions before him and spoke softly.

The aventurine stones were already in his hands, even if they were broken. The two foundation stones that were seized at the Morning Dew Mansion were part of this cover-up.

Or rather, his base stone and topaz are both camouflage for the base stone of the jadeite.

In the grand scheme of things, they are each other's bargaining chips and sacrifices. He will give the company the most compelling reason to enter the game, at the cost of the "death" of a company executive.

However, none of that matters now.

As the red curtain of the film and television park slowly opened before him, Sand Gold smiled and stepped forward.

He is about to embark on a most dangerous gamble, using the power of shattered gold dust to confront the shadow of the Void Messenger.

However, unlike previous bets, this time he had unprecedented confidence.

Whether it was the shackles of harmony on his body or the shadow of nothingness, when facing death, Sand Gold was relieved of his heavy burden and wanted to take this opportunity to release the emotions he had suppressed in the past.

Do you want to destroy this world?

"Why not? Let's do something big!"

Amidst hearty laughter, Sand Gold stepped onto the theater stage.

...........

Outside the gates of the Kroc Film Park. The Nameless Guest and Huang Quan arrived here together.

Compared to the bustling atmosphere of my last visit, this place is now deserted.

"The hounds dispersed the tourists, and now they're nowhere to be found. It seems the family has set up a stage for us. Everyone... keep your eyes peeled; they've clearly come prepared."

Looking around, Himeko crossed her arms and analyzed the situation.

“Let’s go, everyone.” Huang Quan stepped forward.

"Thank you all for your trust. In the upcoming confrontation, if the situation becomes unfavorable to the Star Train... I will stand by your side and do my part."

Her gaze and tone were calm, as if no potential threat could stir her emotions.

The group exchanged glances and nodded silently.

Stepping onto the red carpet-like ground, we headed deeper into the film and television park.

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished dreamers, tycoons, watchmakers and family guests, and the renowned nameless passenger of the Star Train! Welcome to the show of the Interstellar Peace Corporation!"

As the stirring voice and dynamic music of the sand gold rang out on the radio, the red curtain slowly opened, like a prelude to a great show.

"Wow, is this guy going to wage war against everyone? That's so arrogant!"

March 7th, carrying a bow and arrow, his cheeks puffed up in anger.

"How about I get someone to teach him a lesson?"

Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she prepared to take out her phone.

"Hoshi, let the Nameless Guest handle this matter." Himeko smiled and patted her, then walked towards the huge space behind the curtain.

Behind him, Huang Quan watched this scene quietly, without saying anything.

As the group crossed the corridor, a field comparable to a giant stadium came into view.

On the three huge screens, the symbol of spades was projected, signifying that this was a gold rush event and also indicating that three chips were bet on it.

Bang, bang, bang

Bright searchlights lit up one after another, falling from the sky and illuminating the group of people on the train who had stopped.

"We're a bit late, everyone on the Starry Sky Train, and this...uninvited guest."

A light and loud voice resounded all around.

“We’ve come to keep our appointment, Mr. Sand Gold. According to etiquette, you should also show yourself.” Himeko looked up, her eyes searching for the man’s figure.

"Haha, of course. But before that, I'd like to properly introduce tonight's star... Please welcome Miss Starcore with applause!"

Several times brighter than before, the lights focused on Xing, illuminating her bewildered expression.

"As the only eyewitness who has witnessed multiple murders, she is the best person to prove that the idea that there are no casualties in dreams is just empty talk!"

Ladies and gentlemen, right here at Crook's Movie Park, a truly grand death is about to unfold. I told you, you have the power to overturn the entire table... I will detonate the stellar core within you, bang! The entire park will be reduced to shattered dreams. Hahaha!

Laughter echoed throughout the entire venue, deafeningly loud. But Huang Quan's expression remained calm and indifferent:

"Bluster won't work on us. If you could really do it, you would have had plenty of opportunities before."

"Haha, you're betting with me? Want to make a bet? I'd love to. Friends, the game has begun, and none of you can refuse. There's no reason, no room for negotiation!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, all the lights dimmed simultaneously, and Xing alertly summoned his Flame Spear, illuminating the surroundings.

"The dice have been rolled, everyone, are you ready to reveal your cards?"

Suddenly, the figure of Sand Gold appeared on the big screen and bowed to the audience.

An anonymous guest, Huang Quan, the hidden night thrush observing from the shadows, and... outside the paradise, Lin Yuan with a smirk on his face.

Looking at the spear raised by the star below, Sand Gold revealed a disdainful laugh.

"The inferior stones used by the city builders are worthless."

The man flicked his wrist, and three dice fell from the sky, rolling to Xing's feet.

"I'll place the bets, I'll gamble, I'll win!"

A dazzling light illuminated the heavens and the earth, and a figure descended from the sky.

"I let fate turn its wheel, I gamble everything, and I survive every life-or-death situation."

With a mask covering his eyes and a shawl swaying in the wind, the power of the aventurine stone was unleashed, and one-tenth of its power allowed the elusive aventurine form to soar through the air.

The light and surging power converged, condensing into a sound that shook the heavens and the earth:

"All is dedicated to the King of Amber!"

..........

Chapter 309 The Trump Card

A dazzling beam of light shot straight into the sky, clearly visible even from far away outside the Crooks Movie World.

The grand vow, "All is dedicated to the Amber King," still resonated despite the cover provided by the family's power.

Lin Yuan stood amidst the crowd who had rushed to see what was happening, looking at the blockade formed by the hunting dog family. The bustling onlookers craned their necks to get a better look.

"The performance we worked so hard to prepare was unfortunately taken over by the family."

Lin Yuan chuckled softly.

At this moment, Sand Gold found a brilliant way to break the deadlock. To witness a true death amidst the family's dream of absolute safety, a dream promised to the entire universe.

When a senior executive of the company mysteriously disappears or dies in Pinocchio, the company has the most compelling reason to intervene, and the family can no longer exclude the company on the grounds of internal affairs.

Therefore, he needed a grand stage and enough witnesses to ensure that the news could not be concealed—he wanted to make the whole dream take notice and present a grand death!

Unfortunately, Sand Gold underestimated the power of the family in the dream.

Under Sunday's personal arrangement, several groups of people gathered here, and the gladiatorial combat had become a private viewing platform for the family.

The victor of this duel will face the power of dreams, whose gaze has already fallen upon this place—the almost omnipotent master within the dream. All potential threats will be nipped in the bud here.

"King of Amber, King of Amber, can you hear such a devout voice?"

Lin Yuan looked up at the sky and silently recited in his heart.

"Thus have I heard. Since the family has chosen to obscure the eyes and ears of all beings, then, as the nominal guardian, I shall bestow upon you greatness and the attention of all beings."

..........

On the battlefield, the battle quickly reached a fever pitch.

Within the strangely powerful sand and gold-plated standpoint, countless dice and chips formed from golden light continuously generated and fell around him, bombarding the train crew and the people of Huang Quan.

This is the protective power of "transformation" bestowed by the commanding power of diamonds.

Under this ferocious offensive, the train crew was forced into a defensive posture.

Xing, wielding a gun and shield, stood in front of San Yue with the added blessing; the others counterattacked Sand Gold during the lulls in the attacks.

Small, jet-black holes kept appearing and disappearing, while a powerful gravitational field pressed down.

A dazzling beam of light from the railgun fell from the sky, mixed with a rain of arrows formed from frozen ice.

All these attacks were affected by the transforming power as they approached Sand Gold's side, and could not cross the protection formed by the golden light.

Sand Gold ignored all the attacks, his gaze fixed on the woman with the knife.
