Chapter 9 - Win Big, Lose None (1/2)
”Ahahaha! You won big again, my lady, that stinky Rechumba was running with his tail between his legs again.”
”That man never had the skill and was easily triggered, just like a loose firing pin in a gun, it can blast off at any time even without the holder.”
”Sometimes you would wonder who's the idiot that put their round in that defective chamber to begin with.”
”Truly, he is an idiot! The one who supported his business was more of a huge idiot! Ahaha, what a great saying, my lady, your humor deeply amazed me.”
The game of blackjack continued. At the upper class section of the casino, a place where a huge bid is made. The token there is ten times the price from those of the first floor, but MF not only did she aim for the high reward, but also more of a private play with the big shot with less than ten gazes on her.
She played with two gentlemen and one scum. Luckily the scum had already fled after getting wrecked hard by the devil, she soon did that after seeing the other three who didn't particularly prefer playing with that outcast of a man.
One of the devious gentlemen with a pair of dragonoid horns placed his hands on the cards given. ”Such a way with words. Mortal, we don't know your name and your partner over there, do we? Just take it as a courtesy of me to remember the debt for whooping Rechumba's ass.”
The other rather fat individual twirled his mustache. There aren't any non-humanoid traits from him so there is a chance that he was one of the major Origis of humans. ”Tarduk, you're horny again, you already have seven wives with you, no?”
Origis was a term for those who survived or came from the era right after the Valhalla Project had commenced. The era where humanity took their bets on bets with everything they threw to reclaim the land, the war that was known as the Dodeca War.
”Indeed, Mr. Tarduk, you should've gone to your wife. I'm already married myself, see?” MF peeked into her wife midgame. ”It would be rude to take someone's partner, no?”
”Aww, I'm just showing my courtesy, though I don't mind if we can be closer.” Tarduk leans his head on his grasp. His eyes rattled with high definition vision, capturing every edge and exterior of the women he leered. ”Your husband must be the luckiest man. To have such a cunning and striking wife as yours.”
”Tarduk, you're horny again. Don't steal someone's wife again please.”
Before they could continue their games, a group of cultivators entered the upper class. One man and three women, all clad in rather non-classy manner like the devil. At first impression, they looked like a wanderer. The other three gals didn't seem to be the man's partner nor slave either.
Foel felt the same familiar feeling she had as back then. Her husband noticed this and hurriedly placed her hands.
”This should be my win but sorry folks, I have some important matters to attend to. Would be nice if we could play again.” MF donned her slightly bitter smile to get away.
Both of the men stood up, Samford, the most human one, gave the two departing women a name card of his. ”Jubile Samford is the name, come to my mansion if you want to play another game.”
Jubile Samford, one of the 107 great human famous big family, it seemed like the devil got another path to branch in the future. It would be nice to have a good relationship with those humans who abandoned her in that facility 3000 years ago, MF thought sarcastically.
Tarduk cut both MF and Jubile after the women took the namecard. ”Take mine too!”
”Tarduk, you're horny.”
Both Foel and MF bid their farewell after growing their connection. They converted their tokens, which gave them 5 high grade mana crystals and 15 medium grade mana crystals. The tanomobi put the crystal in her pocket space before leaving the grand casino. That amount of mana crystal can lead a normal mortal into a good life, it could even buy some plot of land.
Before going to the market, both of them got into a small alley. MF greeted the stalker with a brute force on the groin, leaving the hooded man lifeless on the ground. After that, those two walked casually again to their destination.
”Darling, it seems like you attracted some grudges. Won't leaving the body will attract some unnecessary attention?”
”That is how it is after you win big at the casino, jealousy is always contagious. So you need to show a clear message instead of laying low, this Citadel is already going low by planting a cash tree circulation such as the gambling place anyway.” MF wiped some blood on her hand. ”It's a little bit disappointing that we can't go there anymore. The upper class would go bankrupt and a new king of gamblers would be born, the place would be dry for a while. ”
