Chapter 2210 - Black Hole Spider (1/2)
Inside a ship that was bound for the systems of chaos, Han Sen and Han Yan were engaged in a card game. They had been flying for a long time, and boredom had set in.
The Ice Blue Knights wouldn’t play card games, even if they were bored to death.
But Han Sen and the others were Mister White’s private guards now, so they could play any game they wished because Mister White allowed it. Mister White was actually playing with them.
Han Sen, Mister White, Han Yan, Ji Qing, and Bao’er were all playing together. Zero and Little Angel hadn’t been interested. Han Meng’er was probably off obsessing over her beloved bows, and Little Silver and Little Star were resting.
In the room where they were playing cards, the only people that weren’t very close to Han Sen were Mister White and another guard. The guard was a man named Crime, who belonged to the Lane race.
He was three meters tall, and his body looked lean and powerful. He had long blonde hair that brushed his shoulders, and his square face was alarmingly serious. His eyes gleamed brightly.
His black armor had gold markings, and a gold lion sword was belted to his waist. It looked like a sturdy weapon.
He was different from Han Sen. Crime was one of Mister White’s guards as well, but he was a King of the Lane. He was a very smart person, and he had a keen insight into things and people.
Every time he looked at Han Sen and the others, he couldn’t help but frown.
A group of Marquises, and even Earls, had become Mister White’s guards. It seemed like some sort of bad joke. He didn’t think they were worthy, and they would cause nothing but trouble. When they failed, he would have to pick up the slack.
But Crime wouldn’t voice any of his concerns because the decision had come directly from Mister White. He was just going to do his job, and at the same time, keep his eyes trained on the others.
“Okay, I’m done. This is boring,” Han Sen said as he lost again. He stretched long and slow.
All the chips on the table were heaped close to Bao’er. It looked like she was sitting beside a small mountain. Han Sen owed her a lot of money now.
Ji Qing, Han Yan, and Mister White had lost, too, though not as much as Han Sen.
“Let’s play again…” Ji Qing said, feeling desperate. She had lost even more than Han Sen.
Ji Qing’s luck had never been this bad before. Everyone was losing, and she almost thought that Bao’er was cheating.
Han Sen started to say something, but before he could, an alarm sounded. Han Sen stood up.
Mister White smiled and said, “Don’t worry. That is a silent alarm, not a battle alarm. Let’s head for the control room.”
The others stayed in the room while Han Sen went to the control room with Mister White and Crime.
When Han Sen arrived in the control room, he noticed that Ice Blue Knight King was there. The other important crew members of the ship were there as well, and that included Night River King.
Night River King gave Han Sen a frigid glance. He didn’t look angry, but Han Sen knew that the Rebate wanted to kill him.
