Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

After Connor and Rachel heard that, their expressions became solemn.

Although Connor had pressed the button for help, there was still no response from the communication box.

Therefore, there were only two possibilities. The first possibility was that no one was in the control room.

However, the Emperor’s Club was still open for business, so there couldn’t be no one on duty.

There was also the fact that high-end places like the Emperor’s Club usually did not have a power outage.

Even if there were a power outage, the Emperor’s Club would have emergency measures.

Under normal circumstances, there should be a complete power generation system in the clubhouse’s basement.

Therefore, Connor ruled out the first possibility.

Then, there was only the second possibility. Someone first destroyed the communication between the elevator and the control room and then turned off the main gate of the elevator.

They wanted to trap Connor and Rachel in the elevator.

Connor glanced at his phone and found that there was no signal at all.

Therefore, he hurriedly turned to Rachel and asked, “Ms. Wallace, do you have a signal on your phone?”

Rachel glanced at her phone and shook her head at Connor helplessly.

Under normal circumstances, even if the elevator malfunctioned, there would still be a reception in the elevator.

At this moment, the elevator was broken. No one was in the control room, and there was no signal on the phone.

All of these meant that something was wrong.

Connor and Rachel being trapped in the elevator was not an accident.

“Looks like someone wants to attack the two of us. It is not safe to be with someone like you…”

Rachel turned to look at Connor and could not help but sigh softly.

“Ms. Wallace, don’t worry. I will protect you…” Connor said lightly.

“Nonsense! I’m a woman, and you’re a man. If you don’t protect me, who will?” Rachel couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Connor as she pouted.

“Uhm…”

Hearing that, a trace of helplessness flashed in Connor’s eyes. He did not know what to say.

“What should we do now?” Rachel asked Connor.

Hearing Rachel’s question, Connor was stumped. Then, he asked expressionlessly, “What do you think a normal person would do?”

“…”

Rachel hesitated, then slowly looked up at the top of the elevator and said, “Under normal circumstances, I think we can get out from the top. After all, we can’t wait here forever!”

“The hitman must have thought of this situation…” In a low voice, Connor replied to Rachel and continued, “The other party sabotaged the elevator on purpose to force us to panic. We would choose to go out from the top of the elevator. If I’m not wrong, the hitman should be waiting for us on the elevator now!”

Rachel sized Connor up and said, “What if the killer enters the elevator and attacks us?”

“No, the elevator is so dark. The killer will enter from the top if he enters the elevator. In that case, he will be in a very dangerous situation, so he doesn’t dare to enter the elevator rashly. The people in the Emperor’s Club are all my people. The killer cannot collude with the people in the Emperor’s Club. Once the club members discover a problem with the elevator, someone will come and deal with it.” Connor looked at Rachel and analyzed.

Rachel looked at Connor and was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be quite smart…”

“I’ve always been quite smart…” Connor replied indifferently and continued, “Therefore, the best way for the two of us now is to respond to all changes without changing!”

“All right then. In any case, if there is any danger, you must protect me…” Rachel said absent-mindedly.

“Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll protect you!” Connor nodded lightly.

“That’s more like it…” Rachel said indifferently.

Connor turned and looked at Rachel, then said with a smile, “Ms. Wallace, since we have nothing to do, why don’t we chat?”

“Chat?” Rachel was stunned momentarily, then asked, “What do you want to talk about?”

“There’s actually something that I’ve always been curious about. You’re so pretty and come from such a good family, so you shouldn’t have problems finding a boyfriend, right?” Connor asked Rachel.

“That’s right. Many people are pursuing me…” Rachel looked at Connor and lightly nodded.

“I don’t understand. Why did you still buy that kind of thing?” Connor hesitated and asked the question that had been bothering him.

“What?” Rachel looked at Connor with a puzzled expression.

“Don’t play dumb with me. Don’t you know what I’m talking about? It’s the thing in your express delivery yesterday…” Connor replied helplessly.

Although the lights in the elevator were very dim, Connor could still see that Rachel’s face suddenly turned red after hearing his words.

Rachel stepped forward and shouted, “Connor, do you really think I bought that thing? Am I that kind of woman in your eyes?”

“I don’t think you bought it, but I don’t understand. Since you didn’t buy it, why did that thing appear in your parcel?” Connor replied in a low voice.

“You…” A trace of anger flashed in Rachel’s eyes. Then, she said loudly, “I didn’t buy that thing at all. It’s just that I often buy underwear in that lingerie store. The owner of the store had a surprise event at some point. He said it was to give back to his old customers. I’m a regular customer of that lingerie store, so he gave me a small gift. Although I knew that the lingerie store would give gifts, I didn’t expect it to be this kind of thing. Besides… for you to just happened to see it…”

Connor could see that when Rachel said this, her pretty face had already turned red to her ears, and her eyes were also very angry.

“Really?” Connor asked.

“Nonsense, of course, I’m telling the truth. Moreover, you said it just now. If I wanted to… There are a lot of handsome guys for me to pick from. Why would I buy that kind of thing…” Rachel gritted her teeth and whispered angrily to Connor.
