Night turns into morning and Max stares into the sky as the sun shines into the room. He was awake the whole night holding Elaine in his arms as she fell asleep by his side. Max lay Elaine down by the wall before giving her a peck on the cheek as he was supposed to be at Crown Palace 4hours ago. As Max exits the room, he took one final glance at Elaine who is still sleeping soundly by the wall unaware of his departure.
Max reached the top floor Crown Palace only to find the room empty. Half disappointed, Max took the elevator back down.
“Excuse me sir, by any chance are you Max? ... Maximillion Parker?” said the receptionist as Max walked towards the entrance.
“Who’s asking?” Max replied with curiosity.
“There is a letter for Maximillion Parker. And based on the description gave to me by the guy, you fit it perfectly.” The receptionist said.
“Yes, I’m Max Parker.”... “Thanks.” said Max as the receptionist passes him the envelope.
Maximillion Parker, Maximilion though your actions are perfectly understandable, we are utterly disappointed with you for not showing up. So you are on your own now and all the best. Sincerely, (A friend) |
Disappointed, Max left Crown Palace and begins drifting aimlessly around the quite streets of Las Vegas. 30 minutes later, Max saw a group of people hands held high with money in their hand- shouting as some of them win while the others loses. With a couple of hundreds left in his pocket, Max approach the gambling stand to see what they are betting on.
“Hey, mind telling me whatcha gambling on?” ask Max who is quite curious.
“We’re betting on insect’s fighting.” replied a random guy in the group.
As Max wonders who the one who replied him was, a tall broad man who has golden hair and green eyes approaches Max.
“Name’s Gabriel, Alexander Gabriel. You can call me Gabe.” Gabe said with a broad smile. “What’s your name mate?” he added on without waiting for a reply from Max.
“I’m Max, nice to meet you.” While shaking Gabe’s hand. “So any idea on what is the next match?” asked Max as he lets go of Gabe’s hand.
“Well, based on the signboard, the next match is a goliath spider against a spider wasp.” Gabe’s hand placed his bet on the spider wasp as he said that. “Here is a little knowledge which not many people know.” Gabe added right after placing his bet.
