EPISODE.103

Snip-.

The man who cut the end with a familiar hand pulled the flint lightly.

Taktak Chiik-.

Soon after, a nasty smell spreads all over the place along with sparks. A kind of poisonous smoke that makes the eyes and the tip of the nose acrid.

Cigar.

It was a favorite food that was produced somewhere in the western part of the continent, which had recently become fashionable.

Of course, it was quite expensive, but that’s about it.

This is a place where all goods from the commercial continent pass by at least once, and he is Andreas Dalton.

It was because he was one of the leaders of the giant organization Reverse Five Mangseong (逆五芒星) that ruled the underworld of the Akain merchant country, and he was the one who managed this huge casino.

Since it is a place where a huge amount of money comes and goes every day, the fee that falls on him far exceeds the income of a decent aristocratic family.

‘Hmm…’

But the expression on his face as he bit the cigar between his teeth was not very good.

It has to be.

“I think sales have dropped too much in the last few days.”

In just five days, sales had decreased noticeably. Of course, all five days did not significantly decrease.

However, the sales that started to decrease little by little from the first day gradually increased, and by the fifth day it became quite noticeable.

At Andreas’ question, one of the subordinates who was waiting quickly lowered his head.

“That’s because there’s been a customer who’s been picking money lately…”

“You’re picking money?”

“yes. There is a young couple from the northeast who have been visiting the casino since five days ago, and among them, the husband’s skills are amazing.”

At the words of his subordinate, Andreas rose from his seat. Then he headed for the railing and glanced downstairs.

‘Is that him?’

As he said, he saw a platinum-haired young man playing blackjack.

Coins are piled up in front of him only to see how much money he won. The face of the dealer dealing with the man was full of cold sweat.

“Hmm…”

He stared at the situation where the board was spinning for a while, then slowly moistened his lower lip with his tongue.

It was because of the woman sitting next to him, sipping a drink.

‘It’s a bit ferocious, but…’

Isn’t it a rare beauty? Sensing the excitement that hadn’t been there in a while, he raised the corners of his mouth.

Chi-Ik-.

He said, rubbing the cigar he was holding in his mouth on the edge of the desk.

“Bring him to the penthouse.”

This casino is his comfort castle.

Here he is the law and the king.

There were plenty of ways to get what you wanted.

Of course, until he realizes that the castle is inside the dragon’s mouth—

“….”

─It didn’t take long, though.

.

.

Russell laid down his hand and reached out.

Then, he dragged the coin lying in front of the dealer toward himself.

Chack Chareuk Chak-.

The sound of coins colliding with each other echoed lightly. Along with him, one more line of coin towers appeared in front of him, which had been heaped up.

I came here prepared to lose money, but I never thought I would continue to win money this way.

‘Anyway, it was a matter of attention from the beginning, so it didn’t matter if I won or lost.’

Russell smiled at the unexpected income, raising the corner of his mouth. Truly an overwhelming win rate.

As if contrasting with Russell’s face, the dealer’s face turned pale as his coins were dwindling.

“Hoo.”

Muyaho, who was sipping a drink next to me, asked with genuine curiosity.

“It’s amazing. cock. When you bet confidently, nine times out of ten you must win…”

Russell took the coins he won and ordered them to drink as if they were his.

It’s also a pretty expensive item. But it doesn’t matter.

It wasn’t a cheap drink, but it wasn’t that great compared to the amount Russell was making.

To Muyaho’s question, Russell replied as if it was not a big deal.

“I just figured out the rules of the game and approached it probabilistically.”

“percentage?”

“yes.”

At first, for about a day, in order to clearly understand the rules, I bet a small amount and lost and

then repeated winning.

Memorizing the numbers of the cards that come up and predicting the cards that have not yet been played and the cards that will come later. That was the key way to win this game.

‘It’s impossible for ordinary people, but…’

For the Circle Wizard, it’s about this amount of numbers game and probability fight.

“Haha guest. You are amazing.”

The dealer, in a cold sweat, laid down the newly shuffled cards.

“yes. Pretty lucky a few days ago.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Russell replied.

“What!?”

He brought the whiskey glass placed in front of Muyaho to his lips.

I glanced around lightly with a sidelong glance.

‘It’s almost time to bite.’

I couldn’t see Muyaho’s face, which was slightly reddened without my knowledge.

‘It was the part where my lips touched!’

Dalgrak-.

On the Rock. The ice in the whiskey glass rattled, and beyond it Russell’s eyes gleamed like wild beasts.

anger.

‘As expected…’

A man who seemed to be one of the great leaders of the casino was approaching him from afar.

“If you don’t mind, can you take me to a better place? customer.”

A smiling face as if treating a very special guest. But why did that smile look like it was trying to make a joke…

.

.

Penthouse.

In general, it was a word used to mean a residential space located on the top of a building.

It has a great view in a very large space and is only available to a select few.

such a space.

It was no different in this casino too. But if there is a difference…

‘It’s not a residential space, but it’s used as a gambling space.’

Is it really a place for the rich? It was not as good as that of the Mage Tower, but there was even a floating seat for moving upstairs.

Woo woo-.

As the floating stone rises into the air, you feel the air pressure change.

“Please accept this for now. customer.”

Towards Russell and Muyaho, the staff handed over two items they were holding.

“This…?”

“It’s a mask.”

As Muyaho said, it was a fancy mask designed to cover part of the face, centering on the eyes.

An outfit that you would only see at a masquerade ball.

“Some of the customers who use the penthouse do not want their identities exposed.”

“okay.”

With a moderate nod, Russell put on the mask. Muyaho, who was looking around at the mask, also put it on as if it was no big deal.

ding-.

As the floating stone reached the top floor, an alarm sounded. Along with that, the panoramic view of the penthouse is revealed.

Even at a glance, there are several billiard tables made of expensive wood and stone, and chandeliers made of gold and crystal sparkle and emit light.

Compared to the first floor of the casino, the size is almost insignificant. However, only a small number of guests actually use the space.

‘Even though there are only a few of them…’

Russell looked around the hall and smiled as if he was having a lot of fun.

It was then.

“oh! You are here.”

The man in the black suit applauded! hit and came He has an impressive face, but has a fairly solid body.

It was Andreas Dalton.

“I happened to see a guest playing, but I didn’t think he would be on the first floor, so I brought him here.”

While talking, he even glanced lightly at Muyaho’s body.

‘I guess that’s how it happened.’

Russell, who read the sinister intentions contained in it, did not hesitate to reply.

“haha. I must have won too much money.”

[It feels bad to open your eyes, but should I kill you? Male?]

[No. It’s just going to be annoying if you kill it

for no reason.] It’s probably a very trivial thing to hold back muyaho who asks you a question. Just now, he was a criminal…

‘No, in this case, is it a wolf?’

Whether he knew he had entered the wolf’s mouth or not, he chuckled and pretended to be a good person.

“Uh ha ha. Could it be that There is a time to win and a time to lose. However, it seems that the table that guests will enjoy is not a table where pennies come and go, but a table this wide.”

He offered a seat as he put down the stack of cards he shuffled on the table.

“Would you like to sit down? As a sign of welcome, I will offer you a treat. Hey hey!”

“yes.”

A glass of whiskey that looks poisonous at a glance is placed in front of the seat, as if it had been prepared in advance to give a signal.

“Eat all the time!”

The problem started after Muyaho drank alcohol.

“—wuck.”

She drank all the way down without thinking, and then spat the alcohol in her mouth onto the table.

Then, Muyaho’s eyes transform into those of a beast looking at an enemy that has invaded its territory.

“Hey male. In this wine…”

A voice like a growl of a beast.

“I know. The medicine has expired.”

Russell also overturned the glass on the spot.

Chew-!

Amber liquid flowed out, dampening the table and cooling the atmosphere in the hall.

At the same time, people who enjoyed entertainment around them slowly raised their bodies one by one.

Then, he took out all kinds of swords he had in his arms and created a threatening atmosphere.

It’s a completely different look from the one where he gambled with a rich atmosphere just before.

It has to be.

‘It’s just a camouflage appearance, so it must have been a team from the beginning.’

I must have smiled the moment I entered because I read that sign.

straight-.

As soon as his subordinates surrounded Russell and Muyaho, Andreas Dalton’s expression changed completely.

“Sorry.”

The smiley face that seemed like a good person completely disappeared, and what was left was a perfect executive in the back world.

“If I had been drunk as it was, I might have ended up losing only a moderate amount of money.”

“Did I really just lose money?”

“what…?”

The moment Dalton wonders at the voice that seemed to say that he was seeing through his mind, Hwaaaak!

For an instant, an illusion arose as if the surroundings were becoming dark.

‘What what…?!’

He could feel the intangible energy flowing from the platinum-haired man slowly entangling his limbs.

A sensation that makes it difficult to lift a finger, like prey caught in a spider’s web.

The subordinates surrounding the man and woman shouted indiscriminately, whether they knew their situation or not.

“what?”

“No, these bastards still can’t grasp the situation!”

If he was at this level, his subordinates would surely have to tremble and collapse like aspen trees, but he seemed to be unaffected by this energy at all.

‘Could it be that it’s only for me?!’

The fact that he was able to rise to the executive level in the back world was not possible simply because he used his fists well.

He also had an unusual head and eyes.

‘A voice as if it knew everything.

In addition to that, the situation where he seemed to draw his attention while winning money for several days!

‘Me from the beginning…?!’

It was not them who fell into the trap and was lured in in the first place, but himself.

Realizing this fact, Dalton shouted hysterically.

“Stop that!”

He barely managed to shake off the energy that enveloped him and dissuade his subordinates.

Dip-dip-.

When did it come out like this, the sweat dripping from my hands dripped onto the blackjack table.

“What have you come for…?”

Andreas Dalton asked, unable to hide his trembling voice.

“G… Bain-sama?”

The subordinates who felt strange at the sight muttered something, but Dalton did not respond.

Instead of replying, he just stared at Russell with his violently moving eyes.

Only then did Russell confirm that the table he wanted was ready, and raised one corner of his mouth.

“I came here because I have something I want to ask of a person in the back world who uses some strength… I don’t know if it will be a story.”

“Please…?”

Russell’s message magic flowed into Dalton’s stuttering ears.

[I need two disguised identities as perfectly as possible. Is it possible?]

The wizard who swallowed the dragon
