what? ?

He said these two words lightly, which were obviously not suitable for such a warm scene. When Ji Zhe looked at Elvis in surprise;

Elvis seemed to be getting desperate. He had not intended to tell the boy these things. He wanted to appear gentle and friendly in front of him.

But he couldn't keep pretending forever, the lie would eventually be discovered.

"Those who want to get rich overnight by taking shortcuts should finally pay the price they deserve."

Ji Zhe was about to ask him what he meant, but Elvis put his index finger on his lips. The man stroked his lips bit by bit with his calloused fingers, as if obsessed.

"Do you know why you are on this cruise ship?"

Ji Zhe was very surprised by his question, and for a moment he ignored the hand touching his lips. He asked in confusion:

"Because someone bought the ticket for me."

Of course, there is only one way for ordinary people to board this cruise ship, and that is to spend a lot of money to buy an admission ticket. This is something that everyone knows.

"But you know what? Even if no one buys you the ticket, you can still come up."

The boy's pink lips became more rosy as he caressed them, as if they were painted with lipstick. Elvis finally put down his hand and looked at Ji Zhe steadily:

"Because you are the one we chose from the beginning."

From Elvis, Ji Zhe finally learned the truth about the existence of the "Deep Sea" cruise ship.

In the middle European centuries, the class division between nobles and commoners was extremely serious;

Some people are born aristocrats. They have supreme power, as if they are standing on top of the world, and can squander countless money at will.

Here, the nobles control the vast majority of society's wealth and resources. It's ridiculous that 99% of the treasures are owned by 1% of the nobles, while 99% of the common people need to snatch that 1% of the resources.

For them, fame, money, power, beauty, things that most people cannot obtain in their entire lives, they are born with them, and they enjoy and indulge in luxury to the fullest.

Everything for civilians

In this absolute indulgence, something emerged.

"Deep Sea", the top nobles came up with a game, a game that can connect the nobles and the common people;

The underground floor of the Deep Sea is a casino, but unlike ordinary casinos, the rewards for gambling here are ten thousand times higher than those outside;

"Making money through gambling? But this is too weird. They spent all their money on the tickets, but they still have to make money through gambling here?"

Ji Zhe really couldn't understand it. He knew that the price of the invitation was already sky-high, and that money was enough for an ordinary person's daily expenses for several years.

Is there really someone who would spend so much money just to buy a coupon that could make them rich?

Anyway, there won’t be any seasonal discounts.

"So this is just a small number of people. They are eager for wealth, and they are eager for huge wealth that they cannot get even if they work hard without eating, drinking or sleeping. So they boarded the 'Deep Sea', eager for..."

Elvis paused, his eyes sweeping across the room, the crystal embossed vase placed by the window, seemingly ordinary, but priceless;

"The desire to fulfill their dreams, or fantasies."

Ji Zhe could hear the sarcasm and disdain in Elvis' words. Perhaps it was directed at those who dreamed of reaching the top overnight. Perhaps to Elvis, Ji Zhe was one of them.

But Glenn...

Could Glenn be that kind of person too?

He recalled the first few days after arriving at the dungeon, in that shabby little hotel, he did not sense any desire for money from Glenn;

"Are you thinking about the 'kind man' who bought your ticket? I think his name was Glenn?"

Elvis seemed to see what Ji Zhe was thinking. He emphasized the three words "kind-hearted person" and smiled when he noticed the boy's surprise.

"Everything you want to say is written on your face."

"You act really innocent. Has anyone ever said that to you? Or is this kind of innocence what you want us to see?"

The topic suddenly shifted to himself, but Ji Zhe didn't react, still wondering why Elvis knew that it was Glenn who bought the ticket for him;

Even if he came with Glenn on the first day, it didn't mean anything. They could be good friends and brothers.

"How do you know that it was Glenn who bought the ticket for me? Did he tell you?"

Elvis had been appearing as a waiter before, so if Glenn had said it by accident, it wouldn’t be surprising that he knew.

"He told me? Well... you can understand it that way, but almost everyone knows about this."

"Everyone?"

Ji Zhe felt very strange.

"This is a bit outrageous, Liuliu. I didn't realize Glenn was such a chatty person. He was able to talk to so many people in just a few days. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance."

k: 【.】 Host, my silence is deafening.

It was Elvis's next words that made Ji Zhe realize that something was wrong:

"After all, I handed these two tickets to him personally."

Ji Zhe looked up suddenly, and saw Elvis in front of him with eyes filled with many emotions that he couldn't understand;

"In fact, there is another type of people who can come here. They are also eager for money. The difference between them and the former is that they are usually very beautiful, and their excellent appearance can make it easier for them to climb into the bed of the nobles."

"But perhaps they are unwilling to spend the rest of their lives enjoying the favor of only one person, so some of them choose to take advantage of the feelings of those inexperienced nobles to get enough money to spend. After getting enough money, they will immediately dump that person and look for the next target. I usually call these people emotional cheaters."

The more Elvis talked, the more Ji Zhe felt it sounded familiar, deceiving the nobles to get money, and then kicking them away after using them;

How come this looks so much like him and Isildur?

"Does it sound familiar?"

Elvis stood up, walked to Jizhe's side, gently lifted the boy's chin, looked at the beautiful white face in front of him, the black grape-like eyes seemed to always contain a pool of spring water, the black pupils were clear and transparent, the light pink lips flashed with a rich luster, adding a bit of beauty;

Elvis thought, if it were him, he would probably be willing to be deceived.

Ji Zhe nodded guiltily, but his chin was hooked by someone at this time, so he couldn't nod too much. His eyes were dodging, as if he was not comfortable talking about this matter.

"The only son of the Coker family, Ishitore Coker, right?"
