Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 490 We Are Destined for Each Other

“Miss Sinclair!” Tom suddenly came out of nowhere, scaring Elise.

“What’s all this fuss about?” she asked with some annoyance.

“Machine No. 9 is now working on our gemstone. Do you want to take a look at it?” he questioned.

“Alright.” Upon hearing that, Elise nodded her head and went toward the place he specified.

“She’s here. That woman is here!”

“This is the gemstone she chose.”

“I’m surprised she actually dared to come. All the gemstones opened today came from the inner hall,

except for hers. I wonder if there’ll be any surprises…”

“What? It came from the outer hall? Then I better look at the other machines.”

Less than a minute after Elise arrived, half of the people there were already gone.

To her, it was a good thing because the air was much fresher with fewer people.

Then, the gemstone master began to open her gemstone.

Not long after, Tom screamed, “I see green!”

Even the gemstone master couldn’t help but be surprised.

Immediately, the people who looked away were drawn by the commotion again as they stretched their

necks to watch the action, wanting to know what good could come from that stone.

Ziggy, who was observing everything silently from afar, couldn’t help but concentrate on Elise’s stone.

Could it be that this woman really is the second God’s Chosen Girl? Can she really turn a stone into

treasure?

Everyone’s eyes were locked onto the gemstone master’s hands, as if their eyes were the ones opening

the gemstones instead of the tools.

Finally, the master opened the outermost layer of the stone, revealing its interior.

Everyone went silent for a moment.

“Hahaha…”

After a short silence, their laughter echoed across the hall.

“As expected, nothing good comes from the outer hall. What was I expecting?”

“Not only is its quality average, it also has impurities and broken layers. I wouldn’t take it even if it was

free!”

“She is just an ordinary woman after all. I actually thought that there would be a second God’s Chosen

Girl, but it seems like I was thinking too much. Serves her right for competing with Ziggy with this level of

ability! I think that it’s possible that she is fond of Ziggy and was just finding an excuse to go to bed with

him.”

The interior appearance of the gemstone that was lying on the machine was indeed imperfect.

However, Elise remained calm, as if she had expected the outcome.

As for Tom, he was so worried that he could feel his eyes falling off. The whole time, he kept on wiping

away the cold sweat on his forehead.

This is bad! Miss Sinclair really knows nothing about stone gambling. She only won that stone gambling

in Landred City entirely because of luck. Based on her ability today, she is no match against Ziggy, let

alone his secret weapon!

“Miss Sinclair, y-you…” Tom stuttered as he didn’t know how to persuade her.

Should I find some local enforcements to help cancel the bet? Even though we’ll lose some money, I

can’t allow a little girl like her to fall in the hands of Ziggy. Who knows what kind of torture she’ll have to

endure? Maybe there’s still time to hire a professional stone gambler since today is only the first day!

However, Elise lifted her hand and patted her mouth as she yawned lazily. “What should I do? I’m feeling

sleepy again.”

“Miss Sinclair, please stop joking around. The lunch break just ended…” Tom smiled bitterly.

Upon hearing that, she casually patted his shoulder. “Don’t be so anxious. After I’m done recuperating,

we’ll battle again. Are you confident in holding the fort by yourself?”

Tom couldn’t bring himself to smile as he said truthfully, “No.”

“Actually, you don’t have to be this honest with me all the time…” She gave an awkward smile.

Looking at her, Tom was completely rendered speechless. He also wanted to joke but under the

circumstances, he really couldn’t bring himself to laugh.

“Forget about it. You can just pick any one. I’ll head back to sleep now.” She waved her hand and turned

around before walking out.

“Hey, wasn’t it Miss Sinclair who just opened a gemstone with broken layers? What’s the problem? Have

you realized that you don’t have the eye for this so you’re trying to run away?” Ziggy’s mocking voice was

suddenly heard.

However, Elise wasn’t in the mood to entertain him.

“At least I’ve opened a stone. What about you? You didn’t even open one. Who are you looking for while

wandering around blindly?” she said while pretending not to care. As soon as her words reached Ziggy’s

ears, he immediately became vigilant, as if he was facing a big enemy of his. Elise smiled thoughtfully

and continued, “Looks like I’m right. I’m starting to become increasingly interested in your secret weapon,

Mr. Carnegie.”

Ziggy’s gaze gradually changed from uncertainty to one of certainty.

As he gritted his teeth, he lifted his chin slightly and acted intimidating all of a sudden. “So what if I have

a secret weapon? You’re losing anyway. You better clean yourself properly in the next few days, because

I’ll definitely show you what I’m made of!”

The disdain in Elise’s eyes grew when she heard that.

People will only raise their volume to cheer themselves on because they lack confidence.

“We shall wait and see.” She shrugged and left.

The moment Elise returned to the hotel, she really fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already dark outside and she was feeling hungry, so she washed herself up

and grabbed a jacket before going out to buy something to eat.

The restaurants near the hotel were bad and expensive, so she decided to go a little further to a famous

food street in Dukethorn.

However, after walking for a while, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she stopped beside a

car on the side of the road and pretended to do her makeup in the mirror. However, she was quietly

observing the scene behind her through the rearview mirror.

Sure enough, several people came out of the car on the right one after another, all staring at her fiercely

while holding a variety of weapons, such as wooden sticks and the like.

As for Elise, she pretended as though nothing was going on as she calmly tidied her bangs before

continuing to walk forward.

Seeing that she was walking away, the group of people quickly jogged over and followed her, since they

were afraid of losing her.

Behind them, a slender figure followed suit silently.

Since they were some distance away from the hotel entrance and gradually walking into an ordinary

street, the group of people prepared to find somewhere isolated to jump on her. However, Elise suddenly

turned a corner into an alley next to her.

The man in front smiled smugly and paused for a moment before excitedly ordering his men, “Let’s go!”

She walked quickly in the alley and finally left those people some distance away. Then, she quickly ran

into a corner and climbed up the beam along the items placed under the roof, ready to jump down when

they walked past so that she could scare them.

Seeing her disappearing around the corner, the group of people sped up.

The man in front was very vigilant. When approaching the corner, he suddenly slowed down and raised

the stick in his hand before slowly turning the corner.

When turning the corner, a man behind him suddenly bumped into him, pushing him directly onto the

opposite wall.

Just as the leader turned around and was about to yell, he found that a man in a suit had appeared

behind them at some point.

“Who are you? You better mind your own business!” The leader warned the other man.

Kenneth tidied his suit and hooked his fingers impatiently. “I don’t want to waste my time, so please come

at me all at once.”

His words instantly enraged the thugs as they picked up their sticks that had fallen to the ground and

viciously lunged at him.

However, Kenneth calmly lifted one of his feet and did a swirling kick on two thugs. His moves were

utterly strong and deadly.

While waiting for the thugs to arrive, Elise felt strange when she heard noises of fighting instead, so she

jumped down from the beam and casually walked back the way she came.

Meanwhile, Kenneth accurately sensed the figure approaching from the other end of the alley, so he

kicked down one of the two thugs who was still standing. When the other person lunged at him with a

stick, Kenneth didn’t avoid it and took the hit. In the end, he turned around and fell backward.

The moment Elise arrived, she instinctively caught the falling man.

“Miss Sinclair, do you now believe that we are destined for each other?”
