Chapter 132: Are You the Soul of the Rainforest?
Yu Lian ridiculed him and then looked at Matthew apologetically.
I’m sorry for mistaking your identity. Actually, this is not the norm for us at the casino. Although there are troubles in the casino every day, it’s the first time something as outrageous as today has happened. Speaking of which, do Arcane Machinists really have such abilities? If they can just create explosions just like that, then what was the use of mages?
"Regardless, I’m afraid I don’t have time to read this letter now.”
Matthew smiled and shook his head.
"Don’t worry, Lily is more important.”
Upon hearing the name Lily, Yu Lian’s face broke down.
Matthew reminded him,
“According to this lady, it should be a woman who has been hurt by you recently.”
Yu Lian hugged his head and said,
“I swear, I’ve hurt a lot of women, but I really haven’t been with any Lily recently!”
"If you really can’t remember it, we’ll just explode. I have some protective scrolls and skincare amulets here.” Matthew looked at the girl on the ground with some ruthlessness.
Shortie did not back down.
She glared back.
Matthew had to change the target for the mediation.
"Madam, I can tell that Yu Lian did not seem to be lying. In fact, there is no need for him to lie. If you can provide more information, it might help us communicate.”
Shortie turned to look at Matthew. Her eyes were still fierce, and she looked unwilling to speak. She even silently hugged the backpack in her arms.
Matthew said gently, ” Speaking of which, I still don’t know your name. I’ve always been interested in the Arcane Machinists. Today is the first time I’ve met you.
"Oh right, my name is Matthew. I’m a mage, yes, a necromancer.
"May I have the honour of knowing your name?”
The fierceness in Shortie’s eyes was slightly restrained.
She replied coolly,
“Bobo. My name is Bobo Wilkins.”
After saying that, she turned to look at Yu Lian.
"Lily is a peripheral member of the Huo Sisters. She was chased away by you a month ago. When I found her, she was covered in bruises.”
Yu Lian quivered when he heard this.
"A month ago? I only fired two or three people at that time. Wait. Could it be
Burlene?” Bobo asked in confusion,
"Who’s Burlene?”
"A female worker who used to work at Part-time Lover. Well, that’s the name of a brothel!
"Later on, she was kicked out by Part-time Lover because she kept stealing from customers. Because I took care of her business in the past, she didn’t steal my things, so I gave her a chance to work in the casino.
"She wasn’t caught stealing during this period of time. She just tried to seduce me repeatedly, but I didn’t agree. Times are different now, and I’m no longer interested in her.
"Then, one day, she bribed the security guards and secretly climbed into my bed, giving me a shock. After that, I left her with Olkin, who was the head of security under me at that time. He had always liked Burlene. She didn’t reject him back then and was very happy to be with Olkin.
"After a while, about a month ago, 01kin made a very serious mistake at work. The casino suffered a huge loss, so I drove him away.
"Burlene also left with Olkin.
"Well, if you didn’t mention the time, I really wouldn’t have remembered. I think Burlene’s previous stage name was Lily?” After listening to Yu Lian’s narration.
Bobo frowned.
"You’re lying!”
"I’m telling the truth. Candy Baby can even testify for me!” Yu Lian spread his hands.
"You’ve been deceived, stupid woman! That Burlene instigated you to come and die!
"Damn it, can’t you use your brain and compare our words to see which is more reliable?”
Bobo replied expressionlessly,
“One is a casino owner, and the other is a female worker who lives under someone else’s roof. Who do you think I’ll believe?”
Yu Lian instantly went berserk when he heard this.
‘You can ask anyone in Condor City about my reputation! I’ve done many bad things, but I never lie.”
Bobo was still very stubborn. No matter what Yu Lian said, she still hugged her backpack and did not move, as if she had become a statue.
Yu Lian went through a lot of trouble to explain. In the end, he asked,
“Can you trust me a little? Damn it, if it weren’t for your special profession, you would already be inside Candy Baby’s stomach!”
Bobo didn’t say anything.
"I trust him.”
At this moment, Matthew stood up. He stared at Bobo and spoke in a very gentle tone.
"So you guys are in cahoots!”
Bobo looked at Matthew warily.
Matthew smiled and said, “Actually, the best way to find out the ins and outs of the matter is to confront her. Of course, I guess that Lady Lily is unwilling to come here.
"I have something to ask you. When Lady Lily told you about her life in Happy Casino, did she show you the scars on her body?”
Bobo nodded her head heavily before adding,
“I was furious when I saw the wounds on her body. I swore to avenge her!” Matthew asked,
“Are her injuries new or old?” Bobo was stunned.
"It seems… It seems to have both old and new.”
"She told you herself that she was chased away a month ago. In a month’s time, no matter how serious the external injuries are, they should have recovered, right? Moreover, you mentioned there were new injuries..”
