"So, our winner Joe Trellir, what is your wish?" The ethereal voice echoed in the silent store. This is a form of formality. No matter who the final winner is, what will be welcomed will be the same. words.
"I've said it before, my request is for your supervisor to come forward in person, and then put forward conditions to her." Joe's eyes swept across Artolis, then raised his head and gave an ethereal voice reply.
"Those are two wishes." The other party rebuffed, seeming to be laughing at Joe's greed.
"So I want to have another bet with your supervisor. If I win, I will ask your supervisor to personally agree to my conditions and implement them immediately!" Joe said, looking sideways and saw the two boxers coming to double-team him. .
"You're just a somewhat capable gambler. What qualifications do you have to meet our supervisor?" One of the boxers said, stretching his muscles and wanting to teach Joe a lesson.
"Stop!" What came this time was no longer an ethereal voice. The boxer who stopped moving looked to the side with Joe's gaze, where a beautiful woman wearing a red evening dress, holding a glass of red wine, opened her eyes from the open door. Walk out of the room step by step.
"Bah bang bang~" The applause from the woman echoed in the casino hall, "It's very interesting. Among the winners of All In Game in so many years, you are the first guy who dares to make this request to me."
The woman's voice carries the charm of a mature woman, full of charm. She walks step by step, and her elegant behavior reveals an obvious noble temperament.
——Elves? He immediately noticed that the other person's ears were very different from those of humans.
Is this guy the supervisor behind the scenes? Artoris cast her resentful gaze on the woman. The culprit of all the sorrows that existed here was that guy!
"Is it you?" Joe's words showed a little surprise when he saw the visitor, but this surprise quickly disappeared as he calmed down.
If Artolis remembered correctly, this woman walked out of the closed room, and Joe should have met her before that. So at that time, Qiao didn't know the woman's true identity.
"You seem a little surprised." The woman walked up to Qiao, took a sip of wine and laughed.
"It's natural." Facing the woman, Qiao remained unmoved. He just looked into her eyes and answered coldly.
"Come on, I want to hear your terms first." The woman smiled, but her moving eyes cast a sharp sword-like gaze at Qiao.
"My request is that if I win, you take your casino and leave this city, and never set foot in Lotaya." Joe's voice was very firm, and he signed a contract. This is his Purpose.
It's just that pure force cannot solve the fundamental problem. The destroyed casino will be rebuilt sooner or later, and only by using contractual restraints to completely expel the other party can the sorrow never happen again.
"What a tough request. Then I have to make such a big sacrifice in this bet. What price can you pay accordingly? If the costs are not equal to both sides, then I cannot accept your invitation to a duel." The woman pursed her lips, pretending to be thoughtful, and smiled charmingly at Qiao.
"My price is my life. You and I are not equal, so I don't ask for your life. It is enough to expel you." Qiao tilted his head and immediately spread his hands: "In this case how?"
Listening to Qiao's words, the woman burst out laughing, and then cast a contemptuous look at him: "Do you think your life is valuable enough for me to give up this casino? You never thought that I could even send someone to solve it directly. Drop you?"
"No." Facing the woman's gaze, Qiao's mouth revealed a hint of cunning: "I only know that you value reputation more than money and status. So for every All In Game winner, you will keep your word and fulfill the other party's goals. wish. Moreover, there must be many people watching from behind. Faced with my invitation for a duel, as the director of this casino, you must be afraid, right?"
"Ha, interesting." The woman smiled slightly, put down the wine glass in her hand, leaned down and came closer to Qiao.
The eyes that came close to her were full of charm, but when they met her eyes, there was no emotion in Qiao's heart.
"The game will start in one hour. It is an All In Game that only belongs to you and me. Be prepared to fail in advance!" The whisper in the ear was like a chain from the succubus' desire, trying to bind it.
However, Qiao's heart remained unwavering, and he stretched out his hand to grab the chain that was trying to restrain himself deep in his heart. He just looked into the other person's eyes and smiled.
"But before that, I just hope you won't make things difficult for Miss Vanessa."
"As long as she doesn't do anything outrageous again." The woman waved her hand to the warrior to remove the restraints, and only after that did Atoris finally be able to move.
…
An atmosphere of silence lingered in the lounge that belonged to the two of them. When Artolis raised her head, her eyes fell on Qiao sitting opposite. The other person's condition seemed to be worse than she imagined. Sacrificing his soul brought about a short-term improvement in luck, allowing him to win the life-and-death duel. However, to reverse the game that should have been lost and achieve the miracle of changing the rules of cause and effect, the price that needs to be paid is a huge amount of karma erosion.
"Well, can you win?" Looking at the filthy aura surrounding the other party, Artolis opened her mouth to break the silence.
"It's hard to say." Qiao shook his head: "That guy is the gambling god of the generation who runs the casino. Even I am not completely sure of defeating him."
"..." There were too many questions in her mind, and Artolis wanted to know the answers. She saw despicableness, deceit, and sin in her eyes.
Complaints, resentments, and rebuke.
Artoris thought about venting all her dissatisfaction on Joe at this moment. But facing himself, he couldn't say anything until now.
"Can you tell me, what keeps you persisting until now?" Thousands of words merged into one sentence, and blurted out according to Artoris's thoughts.
"I have fallen many times in my life. And every time I fall, I give up something and continue to lose something." Joe did not intend to hide anything and responded to Artolis's question.
"As long as I still hope like this, no matter how desperate the reality is, I will fight against it."
My mind is full of reasons not to give up - but there is no reason to give up.
He was accustomed to pain and adversity was commonplace.
If you can't learn anything from failure - it's the same as dying.
"So I want to fight, and I want to fight without any sacrifice." He answered clearly and without any doubt, looking straight at Artolis and smiling slightly.
"Miss Vanessa, if you could, could you tell me a story?"
