Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Is this wretched girl even a troman at all!

Shouldn't a typical woman's favorite activities include dining drinking, shopping, and making purchases?

Yet. Madelyn was not just skilled in street racing but also in kickboxing and martial arts, coupled with a knack for

shooting. And when she had nothing else to do, she would even meddle with the Oceanic Empire.

Josiah had already been feeling that this was the limit of what he could accept.

Yet, it turned out Madelyn was actually good at gambling too!

Moreover, she even took out the King of Gambling

Josiah found it increasingly astonishing. Madelyn was practically the modern Joan of Arc!

“Actually, it’s not that hard. Gambling, after all, is a test of one’s mentality. The first to lose their cool loses the

game.” Madelyn shrugged, seemingly indifferent.

As she spoke, she made her way to the lounge area. With a casual wave of her hand, she ordered two cocktails

before taking a seat.

“I'm finding it harder and harder to understand you... Trailing behind her, Josiah felt as though he were about to

go mad. “And didn’t we agree to investigate the matter about the drug? But what did you do? You just wandered

off to gamble in the middle of it all.”

“Who said | wasn't investigating?” Madelyn pouted, clearly dissatisfied. “Why do you think | made that bet with

Septimus earlier! Ill tell you the truth. | believe he will definitely cin handy.”

“Really?” Josiah was somewhat skeptical. “Then what exactly can you find out by doing this?”

At that moment, the cocktails were served.

Madelyn picked up one of the glasses, took a sip, and casually said, “Although we can’t directly find any clear

information yet, we have gained a little. For instance, if I'm not mistaken, the man who gambled withearlier,

Septimus, should be one of the people in charge of this casino. Think about it. If we want to gather information,

the best source would be the top tier of the casino, no?”

As she spoke. Madelyn glanced meaningfully at the gambling table not too far away. It was clear that Septimus

had already left.

Meanwhile, within the private office on the upper floor of the casino.

A gentleman, clad in a white suit, was reclining on the couch, thoughtfully putting on a cigar. His

A subordinate, dressed in a black suit, whispered to hing, “Mr. Septimus, that woman earlier should we take care

of her?”

“No need.”

With an indifferent tone, Septimus responded. He then tapped his cigar on the edge of the ashtray. “This woman

is rather intriguing. Investigate her background and report back to me.

“Understood. The subordinate accepted the order and departed.

Suddenly, the memory of the woman's tone and attitude when she spoke earlier, as well as her confident smile

each tshe flipped a card, flashed through his mind. Unconsciously, the corner of Septimus’s mouth twitched

into a smirk. Following that, even his ze seemed to becmore playful, as if he was observing skind of

intriguing prey.

Downstairs.

Seeing that it was getting late, Madelyn finished her cocktail and got ready to leave.

After all, she didn’t harbor any extravagant hopes of uncovering any information in just one day. This matter

wasn't that simple, so there was no point in rushing.

As they were leaving, the two of them went together to cash in their chips.

Suddenly, Madelyn handed half of her chips to Josiah Here, these are for you.”

Josiah was stunned. “What are you doing?

“I won a lot of money today, so consider this a little token of appreciation for your effort. After all, you did

accompanyhere,” Madelyn said with a cheerful smile.

In the end, Josiah firmly pushed the money away. “I can’t accept this. You've arned this money through your own

hard work. I'm not the type to take advantage of others. Besides, I'm sure you'll find a use for it in the future. You

should keep it for yourself.”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn gave it sthought and realized that Josiah had a point. There might

indeed be countless occasions in the future where money would be needed.

However, she was adamant about giving it to Josiah, “Josiah, there's no need to be polite. Just consider it as me

keeping my money with you. In the future, you can just treatto more meals, all right?”

In reality, she was concerned about Josiah. After all, he was born into a military family where his parents were

undoubtedly strict. Despite their wealth, it was inevitably limited, which was why she wanted to help

him out.

Upon hearing her say this, Josiah couldn't be bothered to make further excuses, so he reluctantly agreed.

Following that, the pair, having collected their money, exited the casino.

By this time, it was already dark outside. Madelyn glanced at her phone, only to realize that it was unexpectedly

past eleven at night....

“Wait forhere. I'll go get the car.” Josiah said.

Madelyn nodded.

In the next moment, however, she suddenly grasped Jeah’s arm rightly. “Wait”

“What's wrong?” Josiah asked, Ivis face filled with confidon.

Madelyn didn’t utter a word, but her eyes subtly flicked toward the reflective glass to her side.

Baffled. Josiah looked over, only to immediately wider his eyes in surprise.

At that moment, reflected in the mirror behind them, several figures clad in black were standing

Clearly, someone was tailing them.

Madelyn drew closer to Josiah, lowering her voice to a whisper. “I have a feeling we're being followed by more

than one group. If you don’t believe me, look-over there at those two.”

As she spoke, their gazes drifted across the glass to spot the casually dressed figures of Dracon and Tigra not too

far away.

Josiah was utterly dumbfounded. “Why are so many people following us? Could it be because we just some

money?”

After a moment of thought, Madelyn calmly shook her head. “I don’t think so. If I'm not mistaken, those paen in

black are well-trained, probably sent by Septimas to investigate us. As for the other two.... | truly have no idea

where they cfrom.”

“What should we do?” Josiah was somewhat anxious.

Madelyn merely intended to conduct an investigation here and didn’t wish to reveal her identity just yet.

Besides, if the people tailing them harbored ill intentions, wouldn't they be doomed?

With this in mind, Madelyn leaned in and whispered in his ear. “For safety reasons, | think it's better if we don’t

drive your car. Let's take a taxi to the slums. The streets there are quite intricate. We can get off there and then

run!”

Josiah found this suggestion reasonable and nodded in agreement.

And so, the two of them made their way to the roadside to hail a taxi.

As the car passed through a slum, Madelyn handed over two hundred yuan and insisted on getting out. Following

their plan, the two of them then darted into the labyrinth of narrow alleyways within the slum.

The paths within were already intricate. Madelyn, leading Josiah, had turned so many corners that they managed

to lose the people following them.
