Chapter 109: Chapter 100 Giving a Rich Woman So Respect_3
Even though it was his first ti, he should have beco proficient rather quickly, not losing more than winning.
But it could also be that Ash is really good at blackjack, Igula thought.
…
…
On the transport ship, a group of Blood Frenzy Hunters were playing cards together.
“Ah ha,” Gerard revealed the last card, “just the right amount to win, I take five silver coins from each of you.”
...
“No way, Captain, you can’t play!” a Hunter shook his head and said, “You’re cheating!”
“The cards were shuffled by you guys, and you dealt them. I didn’t use any Technique Spirits, how could I possibly cheat?” the white-haired Hunter feigned ignorance.
Unable to hold back, the Hunter cursed, “Your mory and calculation abilities are way beyond ours. You’ve analyzed all the possible outcos as soon as we got our cards. How could we possibly win? You’re practically crushing us with sacred powers!”
“Alright, alright, if you don’t want to play, then we won’t play,” Gerard whistled and walked over to the railing, gazing through the glass curtain wall at the progressively distancing Shattered Lake Prison.
A scrawny Beastman Hunter ca over. Unlike most Hunters, he was slender and short, at a glance, almost mistakable for a Goblin.
But like Gerard, he also possessed a pair of ruby-like blood pupils.
“Captain, I’m quite curious,” he leaned against the railing and asked, “what exactly did Ash Heath do that made you let him off?”
Gerard smiled, “Bas, how do you know I ca for Heath?”
“You’re not doing this for the first ti,” Bas said, “A Chief Hunter often tends to break the law himself. Don’t think I don’t know who was behind Congressman Wil’s assassination. Every ti you plan sothing, the whole Cri Hunting Hall has to cover for you. It wouldn’t be that much trouble just to follow procedure…”
“But, that’s a duty bestowed upon you by the Extre Lord, must have His profound intentions.”
“That’s why I’m curious, because there are far too many reasons you could have used to execute Ash Heath. Just being the Sect Hierarch of the Four Pillars God Sect is enough for you to make a move. Besides, you must have received so information, believing Heath still poses a threat, which is why you made a special trip to Shattered Lake, correct?”
Gerard said leisurely, “As expected, it’s more comfortable working with our own. High Insight and intelligence. Compared to that, Emi really isn’t up to snuff…”
Bas raised an eyebrow, “Captain, in one breath, you’ve violated gender discrimination, racial discrimination, and other regulations, not to ntion inciting conflict between the two races during the Blood Moon. If anyone else had heard that, Kaimon City dia wouldn’t need to look for other news this month. They could fill their pages just by condemning you.”
Gerard just smiled and then said, “As for Ash Heath… you’re right, he has given too many reasons to act, like for instance, he reads the kind of romance manga I detest the most.”
“So what did he do, that made you change your mind?”
“He didn’t do anything. Or rather, nothing he did swayed . The reason I let him go is that I need to show respect for soone.”
Bas was taken aback, “…Soone needs your respect?”
“Of course.”
Gerard looked towards the faintly vanishing Shattered Lake Prison in the distance, recalling the crow uniform hidden under the bed in Ash’s dormitory and the sweet, fishy scent of Ash’s blood.
“I slled the scent of Colorless Source Blood.”
“As siblings from the sa four major research institutes, I dare not seize the sacred offering eagerly awaited by the new race.”
