The Genius Mage - Chapter 157
Chapter 157: Invitation
Audrey brought Ross over, but before they could get close, they saw the items on the table.
This time, there were no potions, only gold coins.
Gold coins as high as a hill were piled up in front of the table. In front of everyone was a thick pile. This might be a scene that some poor people would never see in their entire lives.
So rich.
Ross swallowed her saliva. She had never thought that she would see so much money in a gambling game one day.
She had thought that the silver coin she had just bet on was already considered very rich. She had never thought that there would be such a group of rich children.
At this moment, Audrey was quietly observing these people.
She suddenly realized that those famous people from the five great clans had gathered here.
After all, Spark City was only so big. Every year, there would be a few geniuses like Kate. However, these people had already left home for a long time, so their names were naturally forgotten by the younger generation.
The reason why Audrey knew these people was because she had heard from some of the elders in her clan. That was why she barely had an impression of them.
Klein of the Cameron family, Hobart of the Fairlie family, Cole of the same family as Kate, and Adrian of the Madeleine family.
“We’re short one out of four. Is there anyone else coming?” A hooligan-looking youth called out to them.
Everyone in the crowd shook their heads timidly.
With so many gold coins, who would dare to play with them! This was an amount that even if they lost their lives, they would not be able to afford.
“Really, with so much money, how could anyone be so foolish as to participate in their gambling?”
“What’s the most important thing? Do you know? It’s said that sometimes they would especially trick a person into coming in and then slaughter him like a sheep.”
“Don’t go so far as to deceive people. After all, these people are all from prestigious families. I reckon that they are only doing it for fun.”
Whispers sounded.
The evildoer curled the corners of his lips. “Aren’t you people a little too boring? Didn’t I just ask you to participate in the bet? How did you become such a coward?”
When he said this, everyone could not help but want to beat him up.
What did he mean by being a coward? He said it as if someone could gamble with them.
“Audrey, why don’t we hurry up and leave? These young masters don’t have good tempers. If they force us to participate, we don’t even have the right to refuse.”
Ross, who had always been carefree, had a rare look of worry on her face. She stretched out her hand and tugged at Audrey’s clothes, wanting her to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
Audrey looked at her. She could clearly see the worry on her face.
Audrey seemed to understand why Ross was afraid of these people. It was because of Adrian of the Madeleine family.
It had to be known that in such a family, because of the nature of the family, all the men looked down on women. As a result, they would make a series of drastic actions.
Perhaps Ross had met Adrian before, which was why he was subconsciously afraid of this person.
Audrey reached out her hand to comfort her symbolically before looking up at the bet.
The one who had spoken first was Klein, and Hobart was next to him. He gave off a very calm feeling, and it seemed like he was not interested in such a bet because his gaze had been fixed on the crowd.
“Sigh, don’t say that. After all, we’re all members of the five great clans, so we should know each other. What’s wrong with playing a little? It won’t be too much.”
Klein smiled as he supported his hand, his gaze falling on Audrey.
After seeing Audrey, his smile paused for a moment.
Why did this girl look so familiar?
“If I remember correctly, isn’t this the disappointing daughter of the Davis family’s patriarch?
“Moreover, I heard that when the test was first carried out, this person’s combat aura was so low that it was pitiful. It could be said that even the commoners were higher than her.
“How could such a good-for-nothing like her appear here?” Klein thought to himself.
Perhaps it was because Klein had been staring at Audrey for too long, causing Cole to look at Audrey as well.
As the quietest of the four, Cole only frowned slightly. Although they did not seem to be on the same page on the surface, after being together for a long time, they could basically understand the meaning behind each other’s eyes.
“Klein, since you’ve been looking at that beautiful lady, why don’t you invite her to join us?” Cole said in a deep voice.
When he said that, everyone was shocked.
Among the four of them, Cole was usually the one who spoke less. He would never open his mouth when he could solve something with his actions.
Audrey, who was suddenly called out, was stunned. What was going on with this person? Why did he suddenly choose her in this vast crowd?
It was because of these words that everyone turned to look at Audrey. When they saw the young lady’s exquisite face, they came to a sudden realization.
“If I remember correctly, this must be the young lady of the Davis clan. If we participate in this, the members of our five great clans will be gathered.” Cole smiled as he stretched out his hand and pointed at the pile of gold coins on the table.
“If I didn’t guess wrongly, you shouldn’t be the kind of person who can’t afford this much money, right?”
Audrey averted her gaze.
What did he mean by he could not even fork out this much money? It seemed like the other party was determined to get him involved.
“I didn’t notice that Audrey actually came over.”
“Now that the members of the five great clans are gathered, there’s going to be a good show to watch.”
