Chapter 474: Chapter 294: The Gamble Between Top Assassins_2

As Lin Chuan entered, he simply gave him a nonchalant glance, then treated him as invisible.

Lin Chuan frowned.

The elevator closed and began its ascent.

In this relatively enclosed space, Lin Chuan stood to the side, his back against the elevator wall, with his right hand slipping into his pocket.

The other two individuals, a man and a woman, became increasingly bold.

The narrow elevator could obviously not contain their exuberance.

The man slightly moved his feet and lifted the woman around her waist. The woman let out a coquettish hum, allowing him to hold her like this, wrapping her arms around the man’s neck, as if about to nuzzle up.

The elevator wasn’t spacious.

With the woman lifted by her waist, her feet inevitably came close to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan had no interest in admiring the jade feet clad in Valentino. His gaze was locked onto the man.

2nd floor, 3rd floor, 4th floor.

The elevator kept rising, Lin Chuan’s posture unchanged.

However, the positions of the other two changed repeatedly, looking ready to start nibbling on each other.

Occasionally, the man’s gaze met Lin Chuan’s.

It was only a fleeting moment and did not linger.

27th floor, 28th floor, 29th floor.

Ding.

The 30th floor had arrived.

Now, it was Lin Chuan’s time to leave the elevator.

Lin Chuan lifted his foot but then set it back down.

He didn’t leave the elevator.

“Hey, Man.”

The man spoke up, with a pure London accent.

Lin Chuan looked at him with interest. This was the first official eye contact between the two, his gaze sharp and not at all like that of a man who had imbibed alcohol. Nor could Lin Chuan see any hint of passion in his eyes.

Lin Chuan didn’t speak, waiting for his next words.

The man frowned slightly.

His name was Croney.

He was waiting for the moment this man named Lin Chuan would turn around to exit the elevator—it would be the perfect opportunity for him to act.

But Croney’s hand had already reached his waist.

Yet Lin Chuan only lifted his foot, not stepping out of the elevator and not turning his back on him.

This was a game of wits.

A clash between two top assassins.

Croney, staring at Lin Chuan, said, “Your floor has arrived, you’re not leaving. Do you want to follow us up to the 32nd floor and join in with us?”

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow.

Well now.

He’d only ever seen such a phrase on certain websites.

So, Lin Chuan blinked and said with a smile, “Is that okay?”

Croney was taken aback.

He had only meant it as a common jest and hadn’t expected Lin Chuan to respond like that. Pretending to be furious, he said, “What kind of daydream are you having? Get out quickly! Don’t disturb my performance!”

“I’ll stay in the elevator for a while; it won’t interfere with your business,” Lin Chuan’s tone was calm.

Croney fell silent.

The woman once again wrapped her arms around his neck.

Ding.

The elevator doors closed automatically.

Continuing upwards.

From the 30th to the 32nd floor was but the blink of an eye.

Ding, the 32nd floor had arrived.

The elevator doors opened.

Lin Chuan watched Croney, and Croney looked back at Lin Chuan. Carrying the woman, at this moment, he also did not immediately step out of the elevator.

Croney’s expression was tense, his mind in turmoil.

If he were to walk out of the elevator now, he could declare his operation this evening a failure.
