The man was glad that Sheena recognized him, and he replied, “Yes, I’m Mr. Nicholls’s subordinate. I
apologize for the intrusion, but this is urgent. Mr. Nicholls and Mr. Freeman are about to play a life–
and–death game!”
“A life–and–death game?” Sheena was puzzled. “What trick is Nathaniel trying to pull now?” “They’re
currently in a private room at the Eros Bar. You need to come and talk to them quickly. It might really
turn fatal!”
Sheena frowned, her expression darkening almost instantly. Then, she instructed Sarah, who
was at the door on with your tasks. We’ll continue the meeting tomorrow.”
After giving her orders, she hurried to the Eros Bar.
Pushing open the door to the VIP room, she found two men seated across from each other on a
circular leather sofa. Neatly arranged firearm components lay on the coffee table, and a strong sense

Noticing Sheena entering, Elijah, positioned near the door, quickly stood up to block her line. of sight.
With an unfriendly tone, Sheena asked, “What’s going on?”
Elijah glanced back slightly, addressing Nathaniel, “Get dressed.”
Nathaniel raised an eyebrow, leisurely fastening the two shirt buttons at his collarbone. Once he was
properly attired, Elijah shifted aside, allowing Sheena to take a seat on the sofa.
Seated in the middle, Sheena crossed her hands, adopting a domineering posture, and cast at cold
glance at the meticulously arranged firearm components on the table. She sneered, Playing an
assembly game? Losing means putting a gun to each other’s heads? Whose idea was this?”
Both men remained silent.
Sheena side–eyed Elijah and asked, “He’s the head of the Special Investigation Department, and he’s
been familiar with these things since he was young. You actually agreed to compete with him in this
game. Do you know about guns?”
It was a probing question.
Elijah smiled politely and replied, “I’ve had the privilege of using them a few times before. Though not
an expert, he provoked me first. As men, we should take risks.”
Nathaniel added, “Nana, this is a game between us men.”
Sheena let out a disdainful snort, crossing her arms and leaning back against the sofa. Her expression
was cold and arrogant, and her tone merciless as she said, “If you two don’t value your lives, I won’t
stop you. Go ahead, let me see who’ll get shot first.”
Nathaniel’s men were bewildered.
“Huh? Aren’t you here to mediate the situation?”
Sheena remained indifferent, seemingly here for the spectacle.

Nathaniel glanced at his men. “Get out. No matter what you hear or what happens, don’t come in.”

“Yes, Mr. Nicholls.”
As the men left and the door closed, the room plunged into an intense atmosphere.
Nathaniel looked at Elijah, smirking. “We’ve signed a life–and–death agreement. Whoever finishes
assembling first gets to shoot the other. There is no turning back. Are you really up for the gamble?”
Elijah smiled, appearing calm. “I’m in it till the end.”
Sheena clenched her hands slightly, deep in thought.
Nathaniel was more ruthless than Elijah’s. If he won, he would definitely shoot Elijah.
However, since Elijah dared to gamble, he must be prepared.
Firearms were strictly regulated in Froania, even among elite families. Yet, Elijah claimed to have used
them a few times. She was curious to see his level of understanding and speed.
Thinking of this, Sheena observed the two men on opposite sides of the coffee table, both sitting up
straight, an intense aura surrounding them.
After Nathaniel’s countdown, the game began.
