Chapter 918: Arrival (1/2)

While Sam was having a discussion with Ling Tian, there was another meeting that was being held between the gods that are involved in the game.

Even though some players are eliminated, all twelve of them are gathered.

The Gambler is currently sitting leisurely in his chair as he looked at Hel and Hou Yi calmly.

”You guys better give me a proper explanation. Otherwise, don't blame me for being nasty.”

”I don't have anything to explain. I have nothing to do with this issue.”

Hel replied stubbornly.

”Hel, the special scroll that links to the Space gate in the desolate planet. Only two people still have them and one of them is your father. If you are telling me that Hou Yi has enough brain to steal a scroll from God of Mischief Loki himself, then you are being delusional.

There are very few people in the world that could steal from him and I personally know every one of them. And it just so happens you are one of them along with a motive.”

”Motive? I don't have any motive.”

”Kala tribe. One of the tribes that sent you some great soldier candidates. In your army, there are many Kala barbarians that survived your training for years. Now it was gone. You used the Kala tribe to attack Sam by kidnapping his friend and failed miserably to lose the tribe in the process.

They destroyed your statues, they destroyed the wormhole you used to transport their soldier candidates. If anyone has a motive that is you. Don't even bother denying it like that. You and I both know it is useless.”

”I already told you. I don't have anything to do with it. Did you see any of my subordinates attacking your precious little toy? Is there anyone from my subordinates helping the solar fragments? They started this on their own. And even if someone prompted them to do it, it is not me.”

Gambler turned his gaze back to Hou Yi. He is more shocked and surprised than anyone else as she strongly denied any involvement in this matter.

He felt like he was being played. Because, no matter how they looked at it, his involvement couldn't be denied. There is no way a lesser race like Solar fragments can get their hands on the space tunnel access scroll to the Desolate.

It is a high-level and highly secretive thing.

And there is no way they would go there and attack the desolate a sealed and abandoned realm that was in that state for who knows how long.

That is why he didn't want to get involved in this from the start. But Hel convinced him by saying this could be taken as a family issue and revenge and him just helping his subordinates with the revenge.

She also said that she would support him in that statement. But she is not mentioning anything about the marriage or relationship between Hellian and the solar fragments much less support him.

He felt like he was cheated and rightfully so.

Because Hel is currently feeling intense contempt towards him at his shocked expression. That is also the reason she picked him instead of Indra. Indra might hate Sam, but he is not as stupid as Hou Yi to fall for such a trap just because of the hatred.

Now the whole meeting is calling his argument bullshit. Nobody bought that story and only Hel's support could give him some credibility.

But all she said was this.

”He wanted to know if Sam is targeting any of my tribes and I said he was targeting Hellian tribe. I agree that I captured one of his friends but I didn't kill him, in fact, I made sure that they didn't kill him. I just wanted to attract his attention to the Kala tribe and make him die there.

If you want compensation for that, I would do so. But deliberately initiating an attack on his organization is none of my business.

Sam was angry because of Watt and targeted the Hellian and that was that. Hou Yi is the one who took advantage of the situation and used the marriage as an excuse to attack Sam and his organization. If you have anything take it up with him.”

This was the reply that she gave and Gambler and her started arguing which led to the current scenario.

At last, Gambler dropped the argument, he knew it would be useless to drag her into this, but it is going to be easy to mess with Hou Yi.

”From now on, Hou Yi's subordinate heirlooms will increase in value by a hundred percent. If anyone disagrees you can object.”

Gambler said coldly. No one objected. Hou Yi is feeling humiliated. In this game what the players don't know is the one who pays the resources in exchange of an heirloom is the original owner of the heirlooms. That means Hela has to be the one who pays a price for the blood iron spear of the Kala tribe. Anything exchanged with that spear in the shop comes out of her own pocket.

Now that Hou Yi has to pay double the amount of the actual value.

Even though it is not enough to make him feel a pinch, it is still his loss amongst all the gods that are in the game with him.

This is not exactly a great feeling to have.

But that is not all.

”You will have to pay 150 percent more for Sam.”
