His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy Chapter 677

Chapter 677: THE BLACK SHEEP

The air in Anarkh was palpably electric.

Usually, the elites would remain steady and calm, regardless of the situation. It was undignified to give in to the urge to scream and cheer. If they showed a lack of composure, it would be a sign of weakness or a lack of class.

However, no one could deny the excitent that ca with The Great Escape, the final tournant of deadly rooms with traps. Therefore, the drunk and high attendees were already screaming with excitent, even before the competitors arrived on stage.

The escape gas crafted by the malevolent minds at Anarkh were different from the usual gas that graced the normal halls of common clubs and resorts. The ga required the contestants to sign a waiver freeing the company from the liability of injuries and death.

It was not unusual for one or two contestants around the world to lose their life during the gas.

Under normal circumstances, the escape gas were held independently in the various locales with the resorts or casinos connected to Anarkh. And The Great Escape was a special event designed to bring all the continents together.

So enthusiasts had followed the entire tournant from the grassroots to the finals in Anarkh. The event was filled with people from different races and creeds, looking forward to the battle of strength and wits in the ultimate escape room competition.

.....

It was inevitable that the excitent would be off the hook.

The tournant was not held on the casino floor, which was filled with people gambling on poker and craps tables or older generations trying their luck on the slot machines.

The competition was held on the unlucky fourth floor. The floor was quite mysterious, and it technically encompassed the fourth and fifth floors. An arena was built on the fourth floor, but the best viewing seats were on the fifth-floor level.

The setup was sowhat like a Colosseum, an amphitheatre of violence. Both the fourth and fifth floors were unique entertainnt centres that provided non-gambling activities, except for betting. However, at the centre, there was a stage with clear viewing seats.

In most cases, this stage was a place for poor people to fight while the rich watched for entertainnt. The fights ranged from real gladiator-style battles to battles of wits, usually with a twist to keep the jaded elites entertained.

When Emi and Inei arrived, they were welcod enthusiastically into the vibrant building by well-dressed hostesses. The two of them had just enjoyed a good steak dinner, so they were in a good mood. Moreover, they were already channelling their personas.

Hansel and Gretel were more than a simple gimmick.

When Emi and inei were Hansel and Gretel, they were the personification of powerful siblings who did not take bullsh!t. And they were always ready to kill the evil witch, who could be anybody, depending on their mood.

As they were led to their private booth on the fifth floor, Emi looked around the casino with interest. However, her face maintained a bored and disgusted fa?ade. Gretel would never show any excitent towards mortal things.

Inei did not even spare a glance at the surroundings.

Once they were in their private booth, Inei ordered drinks with the curt tone of soone who was seasoned in the entertainnt scene. He had been at Anarkh nurous tis, but it was the first ti he had been at one of the large-scale events.

And the tournant was not sothing to scoff at because the nature of escape gas was not just about the monetary reward. A lot of bosses from the underworld were watching to see if they could find good seedlings for their dirty work.

“This is fun, so far,” Emi said as she leaned back.

The change from her regular school life made her feel a little more normal, weirdly. It was like she was going back to a part of her life she had been shutting down for a while now. It reminded her of her childhood with Jiang Yinuo when they used to cause so much trouble.

“You should co back and work with . It just might be fun.” Inei looked at Emi with his mysterious eyes. He could see the twinkle in Emi’s eyes.

“At least wait for to have a drink before you attempt to trick .” Emi laughed.

“I know you are enjoying your little experint in that school, but you will soon get bored. Your brain is too brilliant to be wasted on teaching children.” Inei said.

Emi rolled her eyes. “You know children are the future, right?”

“With your intelligence, you could be teaching people who teach people who teach children.” Inei retorted. “I am just offering you a fun alternative.”

“I did work for you. It was fun, but I also rember the paperwork.” Emi snorted indignantly.

“You loved the paperwork!” Inei opposed.

Emi rolled her eyes again. She did love the paperwork. The fun thing about Inei’s company was that it focused on the human elent as opposed to the numbers. It was not like their family corporation which was just about finances.

“If you don’t co to work with , it is only a matter of ti before you are roped in by your Sister Yasha. You have zero resistance towards her persuasion. You are lucky she thinks you are a baby.” Inei said.

“I would not need to worry about her if you were a better big brother. You are over one year older than her! How are you still afraid of her?” Emi refused to be outdone.

“Let us just agree we need to join forces against them. They will not stop until they absorb us into the hive mind.” Inei said.

“You are the black sheep of the family. Sister Yasha and Brother Hiro are keeping the family business thriving. They do not need . Why do I have to follow you?” Emi grumbled.

“Do you think they will let you go before they get you into the family business?” Inei asked.

Emi was annoyed. “Fine! I will think about it. But for now, I am just a simple teacher.”

A waitress knocked lightly before coming in with their beverages. Both of them asked for colourful drinks. Inei’s was a blue cocktail topped with so fruit pieces, while Emi’s was a layered red and yellow drink with a small umbrella at the top.

The two picked their drinks and clinked them lightly.

“To an interesting evening!” Emi said.

“To an interesting evening,” Inei replied.
