Chapter 294 Cannot Withstand A Single Blow (Part Four)


    "Mr. Gu, that''s all for today. I hope you don''t make any irreparable mistakes for stupid reasons." That


    said, Mr. Shen stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray and rose to his feet. Without another look at Edgar,


    he turned and left the room.


    "Mr. Gu, what did he mean by that?" asked Bill, when the door closed behind Mr. Shen.


    Edgar''s eyes flickered as he said slowly,"It means that Molly is in danger."


    Bill was surprised. He asked with a frown,"Why would she be in any danger? That shouldn''t be


    happening."


    "Well, he made it pretty clear. Some people would try to threaten Mr. Brian Long using Molly. However


    unimportant Molly truly is to Brian, those people would see her as Brian''s weakness. So, she''s in


    danger." Edgar''s expression was heavy. If Brian had any affection towards Molly, those people would


    try to control Molly and make Brian obey. But if Molly wasn''t that important to Brian...then she... Then


    she would die a grim death.


    Edgar stood up and walked out slowly. As he passed Bill, he said,"It''ste. You should go and get some


    rest."


    "But..."

    Before Bill could say anything, Edgar had stormed off. Bill''s mouth stayed open for a while without


    being able to finish his argument. Then he left the club too, sucking on a huge lollipop.


    Edgar''s car was headed straight for the Grand Night Casino. The Golden Bay Club and the Grand


    Night Casino were close to each other, so he arrived there in no time. When he reached, he went


    directly to the lobby. Although Brian had ''removed'' his men, he still had means to learn about Molly''s


    whereabouts.


    In the casino, the hall was not as quiet as the VIP room. Not fazed by the crowd, Edgar stood steadily


    at the door. His sharp eyes quickly scanned the hall and his lips curled into a sneer as he caught sight


    of some familiar officials. He drew his gaze away from them and looked for the person he was actually


    searching for. Finally, at the in-casino chips cashing counter, he saw Molly cashing in her chips with a


    satisfied smile on her face. For a moment, he was lost in her smile. He hadn''t seen her contented smile


    in a long time.


    Molly felt his gaze and looked straight at him. She could easily spot the man among the crowd and her


    eyes met his. After a moment of trance, she quickly turned around. Pretending that she did not see


    him, she walked towards the locker room.


    "Molly! Wait!"


    Molly shuddered and stopped. She tightened her lips and turned back to face him. He approached her


    with his long strides and when he was close to her, he asked,"Are you getting off work?"


    Molly nodded.


    "Go and change then. I''ll wait outside. I''d like to talk to you," said Edgar, staring into Molly''s eyes


    eagerly, regardless of where he was. Being a mayor, if anyone caught sight of him and reported it to


    the media, he would be swarmed by negative news by morning. But that was very unlikely to happen in


    here, because no journalist would dare expose anything that was happening in the Grand Night


    Casino.


    Molly wanted to decline, but she nodded instinctively as a natural response to his order. Only after


    Edgar had released a sigh of relief, and had asked her to change first, she realized what she had done.


    She felt regretful, but there was nothing she could do anymore.


    Grinding her teeth at her own stupidity, Molly went to change. Edgar left the casino and waited at the


    gate. The night had set in. Edgar stood proudly at the doorway with his hands in his pockets, attracting


    many people''s attention.


    About ten minutester, someone softly tugged at his sleeve. Edgar turned around and saw Molly


    standing next to him. With a gentle smile on his face, he said,"Let''s find a quiet ce to talk."


    Molly thought about it and nodded her head.


    Seeing her behave, Edgar raised his hand, and before either of them could react, he tousled her hair,


    just like how they used to do at the militarypound. For a few seconds, the two of them stood there


    perplexed.


    "Okay...Le...Let''s go!" With an embarrassed smile on his face, Edgar walked out. His heart still hurt as


    he couldn''t help thinking what would have happened if he hadn''t given up at that time? Would his little


    girl have grown up healthily and happily under his own protection?


    But he had to give in. If not, if the worst had happened, his little girl would''ve been long dead.


    Edgar showed Molly into his car. That whole time, Molly didn''t talk to him, nor did Edgar. He thought it


    was because of the gap between them and that she didn''t know how to get along with him anymore.


    Edgar started the car and drove into the traffic on Moonlight Street. But he didn''t know that a pair of


    eyes had seen everything that had happened outside the casino. Brian watched as Edgar''s car sped


    away, until it was out of his sight. Then he took out his phone and sent a text. His eyes had turned dark


    and dangerous, withplex feelings rippling in them.
