"Ha ha, don’t be so confident, let show you what real power is."
Ree Shil gave a cold smirk and walked up to the boundary line.
Then he pulled out that tie from his pocket and covered his eyes.
Fleshy Whiskered Woman: "???"
Little Phoenix Fox: "???"
Mossy Mushroom: "!!!"
All they saw was a flip of his wrist and he casually pulled out a card, pinching it between his two fingers.
Then raising his arm, he swung it down forcefully.
Pu Chi!
The card traced a beautiful arc, and directly stabbed into Mossy Mushroom’s forehead.
He didn’t care about winning or losing, he just didn’t want any lingering grudges.
"Umm!!!!!"
Mossy Mushroom’s eyes grew wide.
"Exciting, so exciting!"
The Fleshy Whiskered Lady began to clap uncontrollably.
When the ga finally ended, Mossy Mushroom was covered in cards.
Later, Little Phoenix Fox also played two rounds, surprisingly, she had so talent, winning one ga, and losing the other.
After playing a few more gas, she got two drinks from the waiter and pulled Ree Shil onto the sofa.
"Hahaha, this was so much fun, especially Fifty-one, very interesting!"
Little Phoenix Fox was clearly having a good ti.
"....."
Ree Shil took a sip of his drink, not saying much.
Being soone’s guide, at least tonight wouldn’t be too boring.
"I see you are so good at these gas, you must be very popular, and you probably have a good reputation here, right?"
At this mont, Little Phoenix Fox asked with a smile.
"Here? It’s okay."
Ree Shil looked around the Grand Hall.
He didn’t know if the ’everybody’ that the other party was referring to was the Card Clubs in his own city.
Apart from the employees of the Showcase Club, he felt that the people from other clubs shouldn’t have any issue with him.
So, he could be considered to have a decent reputation here.
"Then, do you know anything about the contestants in this preliminaries?"
Suddenly, Little Phoenix Fox changed the subject.
It turns out that while she loved to play, she didn’t forget her own identity and the need to gather information.
"Understood... sowhat."
Ree Shil felt that he had competed with almost all of the other 16 contestants, so, he should have the right to comnt.
"Oh? Are they strong?"
Having received an affirmative answer, Little Phoenix Fox raised her eyebrows slightly.
It seems impolite to directly ask about other people’s card decks, but at least she wanted to be ntally prepared.
"It’s difficult to define whether soone is strong or not."
Ree Shil frowned slightly, there was really no specific standard for this.
"For example, their card player level, or if they have won any competition rankings, or what their progress is on the ’Way of Balance’, you do know what the ’Way of Balance’ is, right?"
Little Phoenix Fox inquired further.
"Uh.."
Speaking of, Ree Shil really didn’t know about the other contestants’ information.
"I happened to know the progress of the ’Way of Balance’ of our current second place in the scoring list."
So he said that.
"Oh? Can you tell ?"
"[Second Gate Nine]"
"Oh~ It seems that your side’s contestants can’t be relied upon."
Upon hearing this answer, Little Phoenix Fox imdiately revealed a sowhat contemptuous expression.
"Missy currently only ranks fourth in points, but do you know my progress on the ’Way of Balance’?"
Perhaps because they have beco familiar with a few rounds of gas, she did not hide anything in front of Ree Shil.
"How much?"
"[Third Gate One]!"
Little Phoenix Fox proudly puffed her chest.
"Oh, you are quite powerful."
Ree Shil nodded approvingly.
"What, your reaction is really dull."
Right now, Little Phoenix Fox does not know that the other party is the second in the points standing of their city.
[Ding Ling Ling!]
[Incoming call from father! Incoming call from father!]
Just then, their phones rang almost at the sa ti.
"Excuse , I need to take a call."
Ree Shil saw the na displayed on the incoming call and moved to one side.
[Hello! Where are you!]
[Where did you go!]
[Don’t tell you’re not there yet?!]
As soon as the call was answered, Secretary Brown’s voice, low but hurried, ca from the other end.
"I’ve been here for a while, what’s going on?"
Ree Shil was not sure what was happening.
[Then get to the Supre VIP Room right now!]
Listening to Secretary Brown’s explanation over the phone, Ree Shil understood what was happening.
It turned out that the outside of the Grand Hall was for the staff of both cities to play and enjoy.
The real exchange eting was in the largest VIP room inside.
"No one has ever told about this."
"Fine, fine, fine, I’m on my way now, stop yelling."
Hanging up the phone, he approached Little Phoenix Fox.
"Excuse , I have so business to attend to, I have to leave now."
"Huh? What a coincidence, I also have to go now, ahahaha."
Little Phoenix Fox was so engrossed in play that she was scolded by the director over the phone.
So the two said their farewells, and then they headed in the sa direction.
Walking, they ended up in the corridor.
The two looked at each other strangely, and then continued walking, up to the door of the Supre VIP Room.
"What the hell, you’re also a contestant in this tournant?"
It was then that Little Phoenix Fox finally got it.
Thinking about what she had been saying, she felt a bit embarrassed.
"Mmm."
Of course, Ree Shil wouldn’t care about these things, a nod of his head was considered an admission, then he pushed open the door.
The Supre VIP Room, it was his first ti here.
The room was quite large, larger than a basketball court.
There were so people that he knew, or rather were familiar with, all were contestants of this tournant.
He didn’t know if it was temporarily redesigned or always like this, but the room was arranged in a circular layout.
Sofas were placed with paths in between, forming a circular shape.
The people he was familiar with were all on the right side.
He hadn’t seen anyone on the left side before, they must be the visitors from Lan-Lan tropolis.
In the center of the room, a space was left empty.
At this mont, two people were setting up a card table and playing cards on the open space.
One of them, from the back, Ree Shil could tell was Director Henry Thompson.
And the other one, looked a year or two younger than him, a young boy with a dragonfly on his head.
Since it wasn’t an official ga, there were no barriers set up.
It has to be said that both he and Little Phoenix Fox ca at just the right ti, everyone’s attention was focused on the card table, and no one noticed their entry.
Because the ga was at its final stage.
seconds later, the ga ended.
"Director Thompson, thank you for the lesson."
The blue light card table disappeared, the young boy with the dragonfly bowed his head and said loudly.
Between his brows, there was an uncontainable joy and pride.
"Indeed, heroes are often young."
On the other hand, Henry Thompson was visibly upset, extrely upset.
Because he lost.
