Chapter 36 Watchdog Hunt (1)
‘They’re only 30 centimeters away’
Both of thee If he made a surprise attack, he could cut their heads off with a single stroke
‘But…I don’t have a good excuse to do that’
He knew that they were fiends, but he’d gotten that infor another fiend’s memories If he killed them, he would have no way to justify his actions and prove that they were fiends
‘The best-case scenario would be for them to reveal that they’re fiends themselves…’
But that was impossible They weren’t amateurs ould reveal themselves in a place with lots of Players; they would most likely rather die than reveal their identities as fiends
‘Then the only thing I can do is tofield’
Luckily, they didn’t know that he kneho they were Seo Jun-Ho calhed
“Isn’t this fun? I’ll play a fewaddiction is a scary thing…” Even as he listened to her expressing her concerns about addiction, Seo Jun-Ho didn’t let his attention on the Watchdogs waver
“Shall I start?” The two Watchdogs nodded as they pushed forward 10 chips each At that, Seo Jun-Ho pushed all 20 of his chips forward
“Please begin”
“Since there are three people this tiantly shuffle the cups As he got faster, it began to look like he was shuffling 20 cups instead of five
“Wow, that dealer is no joke”
“Who is he? With that level of skill, he was probably famous at his prime” Even onlookers admired his beautiful skills
Tap, tap Tap, tap, tap!
The dealer finished shuffling and looked at the participating Players, waiting for theht” As soon as Seo Jun-Ho answered, the delinquent woman and the skinny o with the far right”
The dealer flipped the cups Seo Jun-Ho and the skinnyJu-Ha’s eyes sparkled as she looked at his chips that had increased to 40 in an instant
“Wow Mr Snake Head, you have a talent for this How are you so good?”
“That’s…” Seo Jun-ho trailed off as he reminisced
‘Green told me’
One of the Five Heroes, Gilberto Green Seo Jun-Ho had been curious while he was learning marksmanshi+p froood fakes or an enemy who moved faster than his eyes could follow Back then, Gilberto only said one thing
- Watch the substance, not the shell
His advice immensely helped It was still effective today
‘If you look at their stats, Gong Ju-Ha’s are probably higher than the dealer’s stats But there’s a reason that she can’t win despite that’
She only watched the shell, or more specifically the cup On the other hand, Seo Jun-Ho was able to tell which cup the ball was under right away
‘The dealer’s ability has nothing to do with speed’
The afteries fro The ansas illusions They were illusions that the dealer was creating
‘If you watch his shoulders, wrists, and cups at the sa’s off’
The dealer would use the illusory skill after shuffling and changing the cup the ball was under It really was soh the trick, it wasn’t hard to guess the answer
‘You just have to watch his shoulders The way his muscles move is the answer’
It was easy Seo Jun-Ho just had to watch the dealer’s shoulder muscles and count how many times the dealer’s arms moved, how theyJu-Ha the basics, she wouldn’t lose a single gaainst this dealer
“I’ll tell you e’re done” Seo Jun-Ho organized his chips and glanced at the skinny uess it by chance?’ To check that, he played the gale time, but the skinny man and Seo Jun-Ho won all of the aured out the trick
‘This skinny man…he’ll be harder to deal with than the woman’
If possible, he wanted to take one of theht As such, it was important to evaluate their skills before the battle
As he finished his thought, the dealer got up and spoke sadly “Please wait a e”
Seo Jun-Ho had won all four of his bets On top of that, they were all all-ins His 1 million won had quickly becoreat, so the casino had decided to change the dealer
“A-a Ju-Ha looked at him in envy She wasn’t jealous of the aone, so let ,” Seo Jun-Ho said loudly He reached into his jacket and fu in it But when he pulled his hand out, he was holding an ice compass He used his Frost skill in that short amount of ti Ju-Ha’s eyes sparkled as she studied it The two fiends next to them were also secretly interested
Seo Jun-Ho smiled faintly “President shi+ artifact”
“It’s an artifact? Now that you say that, I feel like I can sense ic froic
“If you use ic on this compass, it helps you find certain people”
“Certain people?”
“Haha, well there’s no reason that they would be here, but…” As he spoke, he poured ic into the compass, and the needle started to spin violently When it finally stopped, Seo Jun-Ho looked up to where it was pointing
“Huh?” Gong Ju-Ha had been staring at the needle, and she blinked It was pointing to the two people next to Seo Jun-Ho “U at thened a shocked expression and pretended to hide it “Oh, hy is it doing that?” He sed, his face unreadable “Teao to the bathrooot up and waved to Gong Ju-Ha, so did the skinnyto the bathroom too,” said the skinny ?”
“No, I’ll be back in 5 minutes,” he replied with a firo to the bathroo chased, and hid inside a back alley
Blink, blink
It was a dark alleyway, and the only light came from a streetlamp that blinked occasionally
“Huff, huff” To anyone else, it would see The skinnyhim stepped casually into the same alleyway
“I don’t think this is the bathroom”
“” Seo Jun-Ho stared at him wordlessly
The skinny man smiled as he spoke “Your luck is really bad Don’t you think so?” The skinny ed the man in front of him to be quite unlucky
‘An ice compass It’s probably a tool to find fiends’
He’d never iined that such an artifact existed If the needle hadn’t pointed exactly at him and the delinquent woman, he wouldn’t have knohat it was
‘No one can knoe are for tomorrow’s attack’
This hy he chased after the ripped a sword in his hand
“I’ll kill you painlessly”
Before he could attack, however, Seo Jun-Ho looked down at the ice compass in his hand It had started to ht As the skinny round, his forehead wrinkled
‘It broke? An artifact broke so easily?’
Artifacts had hly durable Even if it was the weakest artifact, it wouldn’t break froround
The look in the skinny ed “It’s fake…In other words, this is a trap”
