Chapter 262: Space - 262 Jasmine’s Days of Trouble (4)
For nearly five hours, Jasmine, Ezra, and Kaiden gambled on games with low odds.
Each of them was blowing through the tokens they had exchanged expensive goods for at an impressive pace and showed no signs of stopping no matter how much they lost.
Still, their target, Huijari, the owner of this illegal gambling den, had not yet made an appearance.
From what they had heard from the customers that frequented this place, the man would often stop by whenever a new high roller willing to spend copious amounts of cash appeared.
Naturally, he wanted to keep such people around to increase the money coming into his operation, and he was not above flattering them and offering some free drinks to do so.
Regrettably, it did not seem that Huijari was going to be making an appearance.
Jasmine could only think that they had not spent enough or perhaps he was too busy with other affairs.
’I guess that we’ll have to go with our other plan.’
Except, just as she was about to contact Ezra and Kaiden, the man that the three of them had been looking for finally showed up.
Huijari was a tall, but portly man, with short dark brown hair that had splashes of gray in it.
Knowing what his age was, Jasmine could tell that he had received treatments to retain his youth to a degree. Though he looked to be around in his late fifties, the man was truthfully over eighty years old.
On either side of him, he was flanked by two guards that were now more machine than human.
