Chapter 108: Chapter 100 Giving a Rich Woman Face_2
Ash seed to have told a rather bad joke, but the aloof white-haired Hunter actually burst into loud laughter. His decibel level even exceeded the “Public Place Managent Regulations.” If he were a death row convict, he’d have been muted by the chip for sure.
“Ah, Igula, over here!” Ash spotted Igula imdiately and raised his hand to wave.
As if your eyesight is that good any other ti… Igula, who had intended to observe the situation from a distance, was reluctantly forced to co over with his breakfast in hand. “Good morning to both of you, did you sleep well last night?”
“Good, very good,” Gerard said. “The accommodations here are even better than at my ho, though I haven’t slept for years. Luckily I had Ash with , so I didn’t get bored.”
“Oh?” Igula raised an eyebrow.
“I played with Gerard until late last night,” Ash shrugged, “Haven’t had that much fun in a long ti.”
...
Played? Igula and others nearby exhibited subtle expressions.
“Why don’t you stay another night? I’ll give you a chance to turn defeat into victory. Though, you need to change that anxious habit of yours. I haven’t even used my full strength last night, and you beat yourself.”
The expressions of nearby death row convicts beca more peculiar. Their looks towards Gerard changed—was Gerard such an easy defeat before Ash?
Sheesh, ‘Demon’ Ash is actually this terrifying!
“No, no, the city’s calling back. My visit to the prison was pretty much a vacation. If I don’t get back soon, the head of the office will have my hide.”
At that mont, Gerard and the others seed to have received a ssage. The Blood Frenzy Hunters dining in the cafeteria stood up in unison. Gerard waved his hand, “The ship’s here, I’ll be seeing you next ti, Ash.”
“Leaving so soon? Have a safe trip, and don’t forget to write to when you get a chance.”
“No problem.”
Once the Blood Frenzy Hunters left the cafeteria, the death row convicts all watched Ash with respectful gazes.
To think he could establish a deep friendship with Hunter Captain Gerard. Could ‘Black Beast’ do it, could ‘Diamond’ do it, but ‘Demon’ Ash did it!
They all knew that Gerard had personally brought Ash in, but after just one night, Gerard had already been conquered by him!
No wonder he could beco a Saint blessed by The Gods of Four Pillars, no wonder he could beco the only man to start a cult in the Kingdom of Blood Moon in nearly a century!
Indeed, Ash Heath had easily done what we could not!
Silently, ‘Demon’ Ash had beco the death row convict king of Shattered Lake Prison—though still a death row convict.
Igula dragged Ash to the sea-view rooftop. The transport ship carrying the Blood Frenzy Hunters had just left the harbor, cutting through the waves of Shattered Lake to the north. Many dawn-active pointer sharks were energetically greeting the ship’s hull with their teeth, the sunlight glinting off their scales.
“What did you play with him last night?”
Ash paused for a mont—That’s your first question?
“What else would we play, of course it was cards.”
“Cards?” Igula was montarily at a loss: “What ga?”
As a highly developed fantasy society, the Kingdom of Blood Moon naturally had playing cards. Although there were so differences in details, the overall concept was the sa. Ash found out that they didn’t have a Blackjack ga of 21 points here, so he modified it slightly and taught it to Gerard. The two played Blackjack for the entire night.
Although Gerard picked it up pretty quick, his playstyle was unexpectedly aggressive, often busting by accident. Ash ended up schooling him all night long.
Igula’s interest was piqued when he heard about the ga, “Nice ga. If the casinos knew about it, it surely could beco a popular gambling ga… But didn’t Gerard plan anything against you? I thought he ca here on purpose for you.”
Ash looked at Igula, “Are you worried about ?”
“Of course, you still owe a wish,” Igula stated calmly. “Who would I collect from if you died? Only I owe people in this world, no one owes .”
“Indeed, even a person in solitude will always have others concerned for them—like tax collectors and creditors,” Ash quipped, then continued, “It was Professor Selin who asked him to co kill .”
“What?” Igula was shocked. “Selin actually… How did you escape? If Gerard wanted to kill you, no one in Shattered Lake Prison could protect you!”
Ash declared with pride, “It was, of course, thanks to my sincere gaze, kind heart, and my incessant chatter!”
“Don’t joke, I’m serious.”
“I’m not joking! I really did convince him with reason and emotion, and then he ended up playing cards with all night.”
Igula stared at Ash for so ti, making sure he wasn’t lying, then his expression started to crack.
A Three-winged mber of the Blood Saint Clan, who had lived for over a hundred years, was easily persuaded by Ash?
Are you a Spirit Mage too, Ash? Otherwise, it’s hard to explain how you’ve mastered a form of hypnotism that can control a Holy Sanctuary Mage.
Or is it the divine power of The Gods of Four Pillars? Allowing Ash to subconsciously change others’ wills?
Igula watched the transport ship gradually disappear over the horizon and suddenly a thought struck him, “You said Gerard played Blackjack with you all night, and he lost more than he won?”
Ash shrugged, “Yeah, I didn’t expect Gerard to be so weak.”
Igula wanted to say sothing, yet he closed his mouth.
In his opinion, although Blackjack could be played in countless ways, such calculation power should be a trivial matter for a Three-winged Holy Sanctuary Mage like Gerard. Theoretically, he could morize and calculate all the cards for both players, even capable of figuring out his optimal strategy.
