Never Die Extra

Chapter 230

Evan D. Sherden, Robs the City. (5)

“Welcome! Our Rabbit House has a special game room for guests of noble character and extraordinary sensibility. Please note that the minimum betting unit is a black chip.”

The Hidden Stage wasn’t that big. There is only one table, and unfortunately, they were playing Baccara, the first game he experienced when he came here. Evan grinned at the people sitting around the table. Megamillionairess, great royals, and great nobles, who are well known on the continent…The ones who got lucky.

“What a special day today is. There are a lot of people who have a significant impact on game scenarios. Well, they are quite free right now.”

However, when one were to think about it, the reason was simply that all of them went on their way to participate in the dungeon festival in Pellati and stopped by the nearby Roizen.

Still, the more these people gathered, the better it was for Evan. There was a lot to take from them. He approached the table, smoothing his golden coin earrings. The dealer, who was superior in card skills and beauty, smiled at Evan.

“I’ve been waiting, Master.”

“Thank you for waiting, sister.”

“Ah…”

Evan replied with a charming smile. A nearby man caught the knocked-out dealer reeling from Evan’s charm.

“Tsk Tsk, we’ve gone too far against Sherden’s jewel.”

“Well, by the way, it looks like he’s good at gambling.”

People who gathered here knew Evan’s identity. However, they did not ask much about that. Evan also acted the same way. Evan did not see the King of Houmi and the Chancellor of Manaroad here today.

“Let’s start the game.”

Players and bankers were in place. Evan bet ten black chips on the banker with a light heart but lost. He could see people laughing around him.

‘Hmm… I didn’t think I’d lose this time.’

Arisha and Belois were looking at Evan with worried eyes. Evan smiled, saying, “Don’t worry,” and this time, he bet 20 black chips on the banker. This time Evan won.

It was impossible to win unconditional games as it was when betting on a regular game field. After such a few repeated wins, the winning rate was still evidently higher than others.

“Oh, oh, oh! This is how it should be!”

Evan, who succeeded in making ten times as much profit, touched his earrings and smiled satisfactorily. People shined their eyes at the sight.

“Ha-ha, you were lucky.’

“It’s getting more and more fun. My eyes are especially very happy with all of the bright flowers in this room.”

There were also many old men, so they were making sexual harassment remarks without hesitation. However, Arisha, Belois, and Eloa were not small enough to be shaken by their words. Evan, however, looked rather angry.

“I didn’t bring them here for you to see, grandfather. Aren’t you going to play the game?”

“Oh, no, I guess this old man made a slip of the tongue.”

“So he’s saying that’s his girl. I’ve heard he’s skillful, but I do wonder.”

Those who enjoyed provocative expressions on purpose were more delighted with Evan’s anger. Many of them had not met Evan in person, but all of them were familiar with Evan and his reputation.

A boy with such brilliant beauty as to be called the jewel of Sherden was a genius who was born with great talent and was highly creative, greatly increasing the assets of the Marquis.historical

His power was also acknowledged by the heroes who saved the world in the past.

Nevertheless, he was a noble-minded knight who did not desire to be lord of the dungeon city and proclaimed the calling of the Dungeon Knights to protect the dungeon city.

Anyone in the world would be envious of any one of his abilities, but since he had them all by himself, it felt like he was a divine being.

In fact, quite a few residents who lived in the dungeon city truly believed that Evan was a God-sent apostle. Considering his achievements in the dungeon city, it was rather natural to think so.

“Turn it around. Let’s go to the next round.”

“Good. Hey, Dealer.”

“Give me a drink. From now on, let’s increase the amount!”

Of course, most high-class people who did not meet him regarded it as a false or exaggerated achievement. It would have been a lie if to say that they didn’t look down on Evan, even if they didn’t mean to slander him.

How did it feel to actually meet him? Even though his gorgeous looks were not a lie and enough to make even a man fall in love with him, what was he like now? It was quite different from what they have heard. He was reveling in women and gambling, and being rude to those in power.

So did they dislike Evan? No way. They were extremely satisfied that Evan was a much worse boy than they had heard. Rather, they had a good heart for him.

“Change the game. Let’s play poker.”

“Do you want to play against each other?”

“Play the cards.”

The gamblers gathered there were the same as they all wanted to shake off their opponent.

But it was not hatred. They realized the nature of the other person. Their mind had become more relaxed as they were all looking down on him.

“Wow, it’s a four-card again.”

”What, what…?”

Texas Holdem, the most commonly played variant of poker in the world. It was a game in which players received two individual cards, and the player with the highest combination won in combination with five community cards shared by all players.

“Wow, you won a lot!”

And Evan, who won 8 out of 14 games alone, earned chips that overwhelmingly exceeded the amount lost in the remaining six rounds.

Most old people were very angry at the sight of him securing chips, while he was smiling satisfactorily and fiddling with his earrings.

“Let’s go to the next round. Raise the stakes more.”

Thus, the 15th play was a series of small- and medium-sized cities. This was a play that couldn’t be ignored even by Evan, the de-facto owner of the firm. Most of all, he’d have to bet almost all the chips he earned so far in order to keep up with this game.

“Perhaps the old guys are playing tricks on you?”

“We’re all in the same boat. You know that, don’t you?”

“We can’t possibly cheat on the prestigious Sherden jewel!”

Then, whose hand was going to fly away?!

Of course, they had already completed their promise with the dealer by eye contact. Evan had won too many victories today by mistake. They were determined to beat Evan perfectly in this round.

“Eh… I think you’ve earned enough so far. Can’t we just go back?”

“Eloa, stay calm. Master will win.”

“I don’t care if he loses. That money is nothing to Evan.”

Eloa, a famous stern witch, trembled and tried to stop Evan, but Evan did not listen at all. Evan responded to the old men’s provocation, with Arisha and Belois watching with a cold expression.

And he lost that round. After a series of races, he actually lost almost all of his chips.

“Waa, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!”

Evan’s radiance on the spot made people laugh with a look of great satisfaction. Here it was. What they wanted to see was Evan’s reaction when he lost!

“Calm down, boy. This is the beginning of the game, isn’t it?”

“Oh, but I don’t have enough chips anymore…”

“Isn’t there still a lot left to bet? For example, those earrings.”

Many people already noticed the fact that Evan’s luck was extraordinary.

However, it was impossible to play the game with him completely naked, and there was no rule in the casino itself that special equipment should not be worn. This was because the existence of luck-enhancing artifacts had never been confirmed. Even if it was confirmed, there was no way to specify it in writing, so there should be no means of sanctions.

“You can bet it. We know it’s worth a lot. We’ll all accept that.”

“You need to learn a little more about how to gaze, Prince Evan. Or did you show off on purpose? Actually, it does look like a great item.”

“Yeah, yeah. Is it too valuable for you to give up? If so… yes, you have your fiancée. I’d like to invite her to dinner, and let her stay with me one night. Doesn’t that sound like a good idea……ACK!”

Bang! Evan hit the table. Fortunately, this was not recognized as an act of violence.

“You want me to bet my precious fiancée? How dare you treat her like an object! Sherden’s name must be very funny to you! I can tell you why Sherden has ruled the whole city for generations if you want. Huh?”

Knowing that this was not the right time, Arisha couldn’t stand the thought and put a happy smile around her mouth. Her face hurt because she kept suppressing her cheekbones from going up.

Belois looked at Arisha with a pathetic expression. Belois was a little jealous, but she never spoke out.

“Oh, he talks nonsense when he’s drunk. We don’t mean to insult Sherden and Pellati, really.”

“Of course. I just wanted to have a good dinner with a beautiful girl. How can I expect more than that, huh? We have some shame, too.”

Of course, even old people really didn’t want to touch Pellati’s noble… In truth, they would actually want to… but at least now they were saying this to intentionally provoke Evan.

“I’m just saying that the stakes on this board aren’t that funny. Isn’t that right, everyone?”

“Of course. So I think your earrings would be a good deal…… Doesn’t it have the power to control luck?”

Evan looked as if he had been stabbed. It was true, and he couldn’t react or do anything.

“This is really not good. I’ll stop here. You Grandpas play amongst yourselves.”

“You want to get out of here? Oh, my God, does Sherden raise a coward like that?”

“You’ve misjudged when to leave. Tsk, I’m disappointed.”

All gamblers except Evan, who was gathered here now, were cornering him. They were usually the ones who growled at each other, but how could they unite like this? The reason was that Evan’s recognition was so high.

“But we know it’s important. Then let’s do this……each of us will bet one important item.”

“Yes, we always play fair. It’s hard to get a lucky thing like that by unjustifiable means.”

“Well, then. If you win here, this kind of gold will pay an incomparable price.”

With the words, gamblers began to offer their treasures. Dealers were also shaking at the sight of them betting nationally-known items without any hesitation as if they’d promised to do so.

‘You know what happens if you make a mistake, right?’

‘I just have to do the same thing. Take that away from him.’

‘The madman might really bet his fiancée. I’m excited.’

The gamblers were all conversing with just their eyes. It was a perfectly organized game.

Of course, it didn’t end with gold earrings. After they could take the earrings away, next was the necklace, the bracelet…Everyone was united in trying to strip Evan off from top to bottom.

While swallowing the swirling malice and desire, the dealer nodded very quietly because she could not dare to refuse the will of those in power.

“Well, then I’ll bet on the stakes. What are you doing? Take off your earrings.”

And this was one of the tricks. Everyone knew that Evan was conscious of his earrings throughout the game.

Before entering this room, there was a report from the general game center that he had unconsciously repeated such behavior, so it was concluded that the probability of bluffing was slim.

Of course, once you have paid the dealer, it was as if they are determined to win, but you can see that they are thoroughly trying to prevent the possibility of a slippery situation.

Evan also knew what they were after. However, if he held onto the earrings and wouldn’t take it off, he would be admitting that his earrings really had that ability. Most of all, he could never step down from here, considering the money lost.

“You can bet it, right?”

Eventually, Evan smoothed his earrings, muttered something unintelligible, and took them off.

Only Arisha and Belois, who were close to Evan, noticed that Evan’s whole body flashed golden at the moment.

“Well, start.”

Well, of course—Evan won.

“Do you want more? What’s next? Do you want to go all-in for now? If you win, I’ll give you these earrings and bracelets.”

Evan won.

“Oh, you said you could get a prize for betting chips, right? Actually, there was something I wanted…”

At the casino table poker, where you could compete one-on-one with the dealer, you could make a hand, then bet black chips and take rare rewards according to the value of the combination.

Evan, of course, won.

“Eloa, this is the magic book, isn’t it?”

“Oh, my God… I can’t believe that the ‘Book of Glaciers’, which is our heirloom, is back in my hands…!”

“And Arisha, this is your gift.”

“This, this?”

If you achieve the Royal Straight Flush with the highest dividend with the casino table poker at Rabbit House, you could get a legendary grade artifact called [Northern Wind Earrings].

As the name suggested, this was the best treasure that anyone who dealt with wind properties couldn’t help but look forward to!

In fact, in Yo-Ma Great War 2, if Leo presented this to Illoin as the main character with wind properties, he could’ve easily attracted her, but of course, it remained the same in reality.

“Yes, you must have been offended by the idea of becoming part of a bet earlier. Take this and feel better.”

“Evan would’ve never bet me. But I appreciate it. Whoo-hoo…”

Arisha smiled lightly, holding the earrings she had received from Evan in her arms. She had invited Evan to Pellati because she wanted to repay Evan for something, but she’d already received something so precious.

With a happy expression on her face, Belois looked at her with a simple expression, and Evan, who noticed it, smiled small and stroked Belois’ head.

“Belois, I’ll find your present somewhere else.”

“Just the thought is enough, Master.”

Meanwhile, gamblers looking at the scene had similar facial expressions.

“No words, no…”

“What… was the dealer double-paid?”

“No, Sir Evan. One more round! One more round! Without those earrings!”

It had been only 30 minutes since Evan was cornered.

However, the boy, who was crying out loud earlier, quickly regained everything and secured items from the gambling house to create a good atmosphere with the women he had brought with him. The casino was robbed of all their treasures and chips.

They couldn’t understand what the hell happened. A giant merchant, vaguely aware that Evan had been bluffing since he first entered the gambling house, was staring at him with a grim impression.

“I’m sorry I’ve shown you my ugly side.”

Others bowed politely and apologized to Evan. Even those who stuck to him or stared at him did the same.

“I learned that the game starts with a mindset, and I did something that I wasn’t supposed to. Thank you very much for hanging out with me while pretending not to notice.”

Evan grinned.

“And the dealer?”

“Yes, yes?”

As a result of properly screwing up everything on the Hidden Stage, she would have to sign her resignation tomorrow. So the crying dealer looked sad at Evan’s call.

“Can you let me meet the owner of this place? Think of it as me saving the lives of many people, including you, sister.”

Evan smiled as he bounced the black chip into the air. With the dashing smile that he made the first time she saw him, the dealer had now made up her mind.

In just one night, the largest casino in Roizen was robbed by Evan, but strangely enough, the rumor never spread through the city. It was as if someone had deliberately blocked the information.
