Before Alsop could speak, Armstrong sat upl. “This old woman? Hmph!”

“She really won by gambling with her skills.”

“I’ve already said that you’re not allowed to call me an old woman.” Alsop’s tone suddenly turned cold, but she did not deny Armstrong’s words.

Li Zhuo listened to these words and began to savor them carefully.

It seemed that in Armstrong’s eyes, although Alan, the world’s number one expert in burglary, won with his skills, he did not win by gambling.

Although the top hacker Carl won by gambling, he did not have any skills at all. He only relied on his own luck.

As for Putnam and Henry, there was no need to say more. There was no gambling process at all.

Only Alsop won by gambling skills, and this surprised Li Zhuo a little. He was even a little curious about the specific process of gambling, but he still did not ask.

Although Armstrong said that Li Zhuo was already a member of Section S, it was okay to joke or play together and sunbathe together.

However, Li Zhuo had not yet decided that he was a member of Section S from the bottom of his heart.

To him, he was just an ordinary person who had been framed and sent here, not a criminal like them. If he had the chance, he would definitely escape.

Just then, the metal door of the beach opened again, and Wilson sent in a new volleyball. Looking at Wilson’s familiar appearance, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.

Li Zhuo looked at Wilson’s figure as he bowed and left, and asked again, “what’s going on with this Wilson? Isn’t he the warden? Why is he so obedient?”

This question had always been in Li Zhuo’s heart, and he had never received an answer. It was difficult for him to understand why Wilson was so obedient to the prisoners in Section S.

Even if these prisoners were the top criminals in the world, Wilson did not have to be so respectful to them, right?

Moreover, a prison warden certainly would not know all those messy skills such as bartending or dealer. Obviously, Wilson had specially learned these skills in order to better serve Section S.

This was even more strange.

However, while Li Zhuo was puzzled, Armstrong revealed a brilliant smile, stretched out two fingers, and rubbed them carefully. “Money, it’s money.”

“I give him a large sum of money every year, and it’s precisely for this money that he would be so polite to the people of Section S. You know, we’re his big clients.”

Armstrong gave a smug smile. It was obvious that this guy had won a lot of money at the gambling table.

Li Zhuo did not even dare to imagine what a huge number that was.

Then he thought about Wilson’s flattering look…

It seemed that what Armstrong said could really be true. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain it.

While they were chatting, a few people from the beach volleyball court walked over.

Putnam was still expressionless as if he was born with a poker face. He looked at Armstrong, pointed at the beach volleyball court. “Play a few rounds?”

“I’m not playing with you guys. I don’t even understand the rules of beach volleyball. If you want to play, go play with them,” Armstrong said unhappily. 

After saying that, Armstrong laid back on the recliner and put on his sunglasses as if he did not want to continue talking.

Armstrong had lost the bet just now, and he was still angry.

However, Putnam did not seem to hear Armstrong’s angry words. He turned to look at Li Zhuo and pointed at the beach volleyball court with his thumb again.

“Play a few rounds?”

Li Zhuo looked at the tall man in front of him and waved his hand.

“No, no, I can’t compete with you.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t use guns.”

“…”

Hey, hey, hey, why did you suddenly say such a strange thing with a straight face!?

You won’t use guns? Why do you make it sound like its a very big compromise!?

This was volleyball! It was volleyball!!

Li Zhuo could not help but curse in his heart, but he still smiled awkwardly on the surface.

“I’m not very good at sports, you guys play,” Li Zhuo waved his hand and said.

After receiving two consecutive rejections, Putnam had no choice but to leave the ‘lounge area’ and return to the beach volleyball court to continue playing volleyball with the other three.

It was not until Putnam left that Li Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief.

Although everyone seemed to have already regarded Li Zhuo as one of their ‘own people’, this sense of oppression from Putnam was still a little too strong for Li Zhuo.

It was hard to imagine why such a silent killer, who was proficient in all weapons and was known as a ‘master of weapons’, would be locked up in such a place.

Thinking of this, Li Zhuo could not help but turn his head to look at Armstrong.

It was one thing for him to be framed as an ordinary student, but it was normal for him to be caught. It would definitely be strange if he was able to escape.

However, everyone here had the world’s top criminal skills. How could they be caught?

In the end, Li Zhuo suppressed his thoughts of asking questions and closed his mouth to lie down properly.

No matter what, at least he was temporarily safe in Section S. He would stay here for a while. With this thought in mind, Li Zhuo shut his eyes peacefully.

However, what he did not expect was that the quiet life he thought he would have to lead was quickly broken by this silent killer, Putnam.

…

In the restaurant.

Armstrong sat on the ground with an angry face. His angry face was covered with a layer of shadow.

It was the shadow of the tall and strong Putnam in front of him.

“Did you take the wrong medicine today? How dare you push me!!”

“I was just asking casually!”

Armstrong gritted his teeth and questioned Putnam loudly. He did not seem to be afraid despite Putnam having the identity of a killer.

However, Putnam did not seem to have any intention of giving a reply. He only looked at Armstrong coldly before turning around and leaving.

Before Putnam left the restaurant, Li Zhuo happened to push the door open and enter. The two of them brushed past each other.

Li Zhuo looked at Putnam’s back as he left. He then looked at Armstrong, who was slumped on the ground. He was slightly stunned.

“What happened?”

“That kid is a mad dog!” Armstrong angrily sat up from the ground and said through gritted teeth.

This sentence made Li Zhuo even more confused.

Alsop comforted Armstrong, then quickly walked to Li Zhuo’s side, looking very worried. “Putnam seems to have secretly brought something into Section S..”
