Chapter 308 Squalor and Vice
In the speeding car, Kate sat in the passenger seat, securely buckled up as she absentmindedly spun a handgun in her hands.
Her slender fingers moved with a peculiar grace around the dark firearm, creating a particularly beautiful scene.
George’s glance frequently shifted towards Kate.
Over the past two weeks, she had impressed him in many ways. Her newfound insight and skills were starkly different from her previous self.
Could Madam have always been a hidden mastermind?
George quickly dismissed the idea.
He had witnessed Kate’s transformation from a spoiled, headstrong young lady who often clashed with Eric, into a much more capable individual.
She was the cherished gem of the Lowes and had always been sheltered at home. There was no chance she had been exposed to such things.
So, he figured she was unquestionably a rare talent, much like Eric!

The gamblers, with eyes glazed from addiction, remained oblivious to the sudden upheaval. However, the enforcers spotted the intruders and demanded, “Who are you?”
Their response came in the form of ruthless aggression.
Chaos erupted on the ground floor, swiftly spreading to the upper levels, including the first and second floors.
The screams, cries, and pleas melded into a symphony of terror.
As the enforcers clashed, the gamblers seized the opportunity to snatch money, exacerbating the pandemonium.
Kate observed with detached coldness, devoid of pity.
This casino, in her view, should never have existed.
They had meticulously studied Tesidus’s operations beforehand and found that they had conquered Zircon City because there were many of them, and they acted recklessly with no fear of the consequences.
