Chapter 9 - Chapter 8: The Most Beautiful Woman

The corners of the bald man's mouth curled up slightly: "If you feel thirsty, you can drink a little before answering. I have enough patience to wait for you."

**Ethan Carter** picked up the glass of Bernice he chose, put it to his mouth, and took a sip.

He was not thirsty, but he thought that doing so might give the other party more face.

Putting down the glass, he answered: "I'm not."

The bald man leaned back and leaned lazily on the sofa.

The bartender walked to the coffee table, dipped his index finger in the glass of Bernice, and then put it in his mouth to suck.

"He lied."

The bartender said and pulled out the pistol at his waist.

"Hey, wait." The bald man stopped the bartender.

"There is an old saying among gamblers, cheating is your ability as long as you don't get caught." He said, "In fact, I don't care whether you cheat or not. I'm interested in your cheating methods."

"You have no evidence to prove that I cheated." **Ethan Carter** said.

"Not bad, so I plan to invite you to play another game. If you win, you can leave safely." The bald man smiled.

"What if I lose?"

"I'm not an unreasonable person. If you lose, I will give you two choices."

**Ethan Carter** looked at him quietly, feeling that every word he said next was like the whisper of a devil who would eat people without spitting out bones.

"Either spit out the points you won before, or leave your life."

"This is not fair." **Ethan Carter** protested.

"This is fair. There is another saying among gamblers: never think you can beat the dealer." The bald man spread his hands, "I could have turned you into a corpse quietly, but now I'm giving you a chance."

**Ethan Carter**'s face sank: "What are you playing?"

"Just play what you are best at, just like before." The bald man snapped his fingers and said, "Bring the wine."

Three trays covered by silver metal covers were quickly placed in front of **Ethan Carter**.

The bald man made a gesture of invitation to **Ethan Carter**: "There is a cocktail in each tray. You guess the type. Open one if you guess one. If you get all three right, you can leave."

There was a click behind him, and the bartender opened the safety of the pistol.

**Ethan Carter**'s Adam's apple moved: "Can I say three at a time?"

"Of course."

**Ethan Carter**'s eyes swept over the three trays one by one.

The bald man watched his expression with interest.

Time passed by minute by minute...

The bartender standing behind **Ethan Carter** with a pistol in his hand seemed a little impatient. He asked his boss with his eyes, and after getting tacit consent, he urged: "You'd better not delay time deliberately."

"I... I want to make a request..." **Ethan Carter** looked embarrassed, "Can you give me a garbage bag? Or any bag will do."

The bartender put the muzzle of the gun to the back of his head.

The bald man laughed and told the bartender: "Satisfy him."

A dirty sack was quickly placed in front of **Ethan Carter**.

"Although I don't know what you want this for, I can give you a spoiler. If you lose the guessing game, this bag will be your destination." The bartender said coldly.

**Ethan Carter** seemed not to hear the bartender's threat, and his attention was refocused on the three trays covered by silver covers.

He took a deep breath and said quickly, "Alexandria, Tequila, Blood and Sand."

He then opened the three covers one by one, and the types of cocktails inside were exactly the same as he said.

Alexandria, Tequila, Blood and Sand.

"Excellent." The bald man slowly applauded **Ethan Carter**.

**Ethan Carter**, who won this life-threatening gamble, did not show any joy on his face. His distorted expression showed that he was in great pain at the moment.

"Ugh..."

Under the gaze of the bald man and the bartender, **Ethan Carter** bent down and vomited into the sack.

A strong sense of dizziness dominated his mind.

There was a sour smell in the air behind the bar, and **Ethan Carter** felt that he was about to vomit his stomach.

There was only one thought left in his mind at this moment—never use this ability again...

The bald man stood up from the sofa, walked behind **Ethan Carter**, and patted him on the shoulder: "It seems that your superpower gene has not been fully developed. Continuous use of the ability in a short period of time will bring excessive load to the body."

"I have a special method that can train you to gradually master this ability. If you are interested, you can contact me."

A business card slid onto the coffee table—"Victor Chen, Xingtian Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd."

The bartender followed Victor Chen and sent him out through the secret door behind the employee passage.

"Boss, that guy is just a superpower with the ability of perspective. Is it worth your personal invitation?" The bartender asked the question in his heart.

The bald man in front suddenly stopped. Victor Chen turned around and asked meaningfully: "Do you think his ability is perspective?"

The bartender was stunned and did not dare to continue asking questions.

Victor Chen pointed to his head with his finger, and then disappeared in front of the secret door.

The locked door has never been opened from beginning to end.

Behind the bar, **Ethan Carter**, who had finally stopped vomiting and recovered, looked pale. He stood up from the sofa with the help of the coffee table.

"Brother, come and have a drink with me?"

A woman waved at him at the bar.

**Ethan Carter** didn't even look at her, waved his hand, and walked away.

He knew that excessive use of his supernatural power's active prediction ability would cause side effects such as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, but this was the first time that the side effects were so severe, probably because the interval between the two prediction abilities was too short.

Now he just wants to finish his work as soon as possible and go home to have a good sleep.

Several men passed by him and gathered at the bar to chat with the woman. **Ethan Carter** heard laughter coming from behind him.

He struggled to find the "most beautiful woman" in the crowd, and he felt more and more irritated. He wanted to find a woman who looked decent several times to hand over the package, but thinking of his friendship with **Derek Johnson**, he was unwilling to just let it go.

At this moment, he heard a quarrel from the side. A young girl dressed very rock was getting angry at her male companion, complaining that her male companion stared at other women for a long time.

The girl's voice gradually became mixed with crying, and **Ethan Carter** couldn't help but look at them twice.

Then he saw a very strange scene. The rock girl's male companion ignored her dissatisfaction and sadness, stood up, and walked towards the direction he was looking at as if he was possessed.

He also wanted to go to the bar.

**Ethan Carter** was startled and suddenly noticed that there were many people around the bar.

Men of all kinds surrounded the woman in the middle, making her look like a queen bee in a hive.

Through the men's figures, **Ethan Carter** could vaguely see that the woman in the middle had wine-red hair.

She sat calmly on the stool in front of the bar, treating all the men around her equally, and not being particularly close to any of them.

She clinked glasses with them, laughed, and seemed to be at ease in her every move.

**Ethan Carter** suddenly realized that this woman might be the target of his delivery tonight.

Even though she was surrounded by many people at this time, the men nearby were still gathering there. Regardless of whether this situation was normal or not, it was certain that her attractiveness was completely superior to other women in the bar.

Is it a supernatural power? **Ethan Carter** guessed.

But if it was some kind of supernatural power to attract the opposite sex, why wasn't he affected?

**Ethan Carter** hesitated in place, doubting his gender for 0.00001 seconds.

"It's the smell." A cold female voice came into his ears.

Who? Who's talking?

**Ethan Carter** looked around vigilantly.

"This way."

Following the second voice, **Ethan Carter**'s eyes fell on the booth nearby.

The rock girl was crying on the table, with a half-finished cocktail on the table.

The liquid surface in the glass turned into a "flat mirror" at this moment, and the blonde girl who called herself Shi Xin emerged in it.

**Ethan Carter** was so startled that his hand slipped and he almost let the package fall to the ground.

"It's the second time we meet, so there's no need to panic, right?"

"You, you, you..."

"I just want to remind you that the woman's ability is to emit a sweet scent that makes the opposite sex obsessed and intoxicated. The smell should be composed of some pheromones that have been modified by the ability gene."

Then why am I..." **Ethan Carter** stopped halfway through the question. He had figured it out.

The reason why he was not affected was because of the side effects of the continuous use of the ability just now.

The strong dizziness, nausea, and vomiting made his sense of smell temporarily abnormal.

"You understand it now?" Shi Xin said, "But now your senses are recovering. If you take the initiative to approach her, you may also be affected."

After weighing the pros and cons, **Ethan Carter** decided to wait outside the bar.

Maybe this woman had no ill intentions in using her ability in the bar. **Ethan Carter** planned to wait until she had enough fun and left, and then hand over the goods to her at the door.

But he soon discovered that when she noticed the stairs leading to the exit of the bar, the woman with burgundy hair immediately stood up.

The men around her made way for her in unison, and then stood there in a daze, like puppets that had lost their control after the curtain call.

Seeing this, **Ethan Carter** was instinctively frightened and quickened his pace up the stairs. Leaving turned into escaping.
