Chapter 122 Going to Macamer
Officer Jackson smiled slightly and nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, the police in Macamer
have almost located Caleb and Benett’s hideout. Once they reach Lucas tonight, our
people will immediately order
their arrest
I acknowledged that and, recalling Alex, asked, “Is Alex going to the ship tonight too?”
Officer Jackson nodded, “Yes, he went to Macamer a couple of days ago. Our people have
been following him, but we haven’t ordered his arrest yet to avoid alerting the rest.”
I nodded, having been informed about this before.
After a moment, I said, “Even if you find Lucas, you don’t have enough evidence to arrest
him, right?”
He agreed, “True, but at least this lead is a significant breakthrough for us. Once we know
who Lucas is, given his frequent activities inland and at the border, it won’t be hard to find
evidence of his crimes once we locate him. ”
That made sense to me.
After a four–hour flight, we arrived in Macamer as the sky was getting dark. Fortunately,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe temperature here was much warmer than on the mainland.
Many people were still wearing short sleeves, with just a few donning light jackets.
Maxwell had checked the weather and had my mother prepare light clothing for me before
I came
Upon leaving the airport, Officer Jackson took me to a black sedan.
The black car dropped us at a star–rated hotel. After changing clothes, he and I went
straight to the seaside. When we arrived, the ship was bustling with people. The ship was
brightly lit and full of
people.
As night fell, the ship slowly sailed into the sea. The party attracted many wealthy people
from around the world. After all, anyone with money and influence could enter.
Inside the cabin, Officer Jackson and I observed the dense crowd. I expressed my
frustration, “With so many people, it’s impossible to find anyone.”
Officer Jackson smiled and handed me two tickets. “We’re not here to find anyone.”
Confused, I asked, “If we’re not here to locate them, then what are we doing here?”
He smiled lightly. “Since we’ve paid, we’re here to look around and gain some
experience.” He then gestured toward our surroundings
His hint made me notice the mixed crowd. The cabin had several slot machines and
unfamiliar gaming machines, along with various vendors selling drinks, pastries, and
strange candies I had never seen before.
Curious, I took a closer look. The candy seller was a middle–aged man so thin that his
cheeks were
sunken. He noticed my gaze and walked over to offer me a box of candy with a smile.
“Pretty lady, a box of ‘Happy Pills‘ for 3,500?”
Shocked by the price, I stared at them a bit longer. Officer Jackson returned the candy to
the man, stating, “She doesn’t need it.”
The man, sensing Officer Jackson’s stern demeanor, quickly left with the candy.
I was puzzled and asked, “What was that? Why was it so expensive?”
It did not seem like anything luxurious for 3,500 a box.
Officer Jackson glanced around and explained, “It’s not candy, just a euphemism for
stimulants. Those gaming machines and candies are probably for milking desperate
wealthy people:”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStill confused, I asked, “Desperate wealthy people?”
“Yes,” Officer Jackson nodded, looking around before leading me to the ship’s staircase.
“Many rich individuals from the inland are led here and ruined, ending up bankrupt and
broken. Yet, unwilling to accept their downfall, they come to these shady places with their
remaining money, hoping for luck.”
I sort of understood. I followed him up to the fifth floor. The ship was enormous and
lavishly decorated. The upper floors required a lot of money for entry, as the wealthy did
not want to mingle in crowded spaces.
He handed our tickets to the doorman, who respectfully checked them and gestured for us
to enter.
Inside, I found a vast auction hall with a quiet, elegant atmosphere, filled with bustling
wealthy Individuals. Their tables were adorned with expensive wines.
Among these people, fimmediately spotted Caleb and Benett. It was not because I had
keen eyesight, but because they were at the same table while others sat alone, making
them stand out.
Seeing them, I instinctively started to approach, but Officer Jackson pulled me back,
frowning. “Don’t be impulsive. They can’t escape. Remember your main mission tonight.“
