"I beg you, stop talking." Kneeling beside Joe, Artolis' hand holding the tea could not help but tremble: "Quick! Concentrate on taking a deep breath and stop the blood first."
Looking at the dying man, Artolis took out the storage ring in a panic: "Don't give up, believe me!"
"There is still hope, at least... at least drink the healing potion..."
"That's enough!" The young man used his remaining strength to raise his hand to stop Artolis's move.
"Don't waste your efforts anymore, it's useless." He shook his head, opened his eyelids that were about to stop permanently, and smiled sadly with difficulty, trying his best to convey his words.
Be it resentment or hatred, these feelings can be easily suppressed now.
"A life of hypocrisy begins from the exploited party, to the exploited party."
“I’ll do anything if I can take advantage of it.”
By any means necessary, even in despicable ways. There is only the result in front of me, and as long as I can win, nothing else matters.
"In this way, I won the final victory and achieved my goal." The weak voice echoed in the quiet store, and the seeds of sin sprouted under the dim lights of the casino hall.
With hazy eyes, he searched for and touched the girl's face.
The shining light rests on the ends of the eyes.
——Is it tears?
Bit by bit, the compressed life slipped from the cheek, and then poured into the wound.
Immediately, his wound healed, like a miracle, and a beautiful flower of life bloomed from the wound.
However, that is impossible...
The fairy tale illusion shattered before his eyes, and what overwhelmed him was the irreparable and heavy reality.
Falling in a pool of blood, his consciousness gradually began to fade away.
"Deserve it!"
He wanted to show off his success with sad eyes, and then took steps to leave, going to the paradise world without sadness or pain.
However, his remaining wishes did not allow him to fall down so easily.
Qiao's pale face smiled bitterly, and put his blood-stained hands on his chest: "So far, I have received help from many people to survive until now. In places I don't know, there are people I don't know who are helping me. Try hard. I think not knowing about it is inexcusable."
The corners of her mouth that were bleeding were telling. Facing his monologue, Artolis couldn't say anything.
"So, I don't want to let those people down. I want them to feel from the bottom of their hearts that it was great to help me... I want to live my life straight."
Rather than a negative, gloomy life.
"This is my last regret."
Jon's melancholy expression made Artolis despair.
"Then, why..." Despair is contagious, and the sadness is also passed on to her.
"I crossed the line that I shouldn't have crossed. The moment I fell, I already felt my limit." That was his answer.
"how so……"
So, he gave up.
Already, it cannot be reversed no matter what.
"I think Miss Vanessa would look beautiful when she smiles." His eyes trembled as he looked up. At the end of his life, he took out a piece of tissue paper from the pocket on his chest and used up his last strength. She thrust it into Artoris's hand.
"Haha, it's all my fault. The atmosphere now should be happy, right? As... the victors... we." The eyes that lost their luster were like broken stars, disappearing within Artoris's reach.
"...Ahem...and the last thing...is...leaved to...you..." The voice lost its strength.
He seemed to still be nostalgic, but he couldn't stop leaving.
“…..”
That was the fact that Artoris didn't want to admit. The boy named Joe Trellir did not escape the fate of his fate and died right in front of her eyes.
Artoris's hands held the opponent's palms that were hanging down after losing strength. She was gloomy and did not feel happy because Joe had fulfilled his promise.
ah.
He has accepted his fate.
The reason why his sad eyes were still looking at her was probably because he had made up his mind like this.
But...this ending is too sad.
"I...can't accept it." Her upper teeth bit her lip. In the face of the passing of life, Artolis could not keep her calm.
She hated herself for being powerless. If she had unrivaled power and if she had notified her partners in advance, then the ending before her would not be like this.
Moreover, the guy just left in such an understatement, how should she end the rest?
"Because we didn't win at all!"
"The last two community cards are the 9 of clubs and the queen of spades, and the hole cards in my hand are 8 and king."
The woman seemed to be merciful and did not choose to inflict such a blow while Joe was still conscious. Instead, he stopped the warrior from coming forward and watched the last farce that belonged to Qiao alone with joy.
"If it's just three Aces, how can it be stronger than my six consecutive straights?"
However, the failed ending has not changed and the game continues. But the person involved in the game could no longer continue fighting.
"Hey~ It's so boring." It's just that the victory achieved in this way is not fun enough.
Looking at the figure kneeling on the ground, Qian Shang lost her enthusiasm and just ordered the warrior to control Atoris.
"You haven't won yet." The girl in front of her didn't resist. She just noticed the warrior approaching and said cold words without looking back.
"Wait a minute." Listening to Artoris' sudden words, Qian Chang's interest was inexplicably aroused again, and then he ordered to stop the warrior's actions.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"I will compete with you instead of Qiao. You should know that I am his companion, so I am qualified." Artolis stood up slowly and spoke to the woman named Qian Shang Pheasant Leaf.
"Although it is the same duel, there are two opponents. In terms of state, you are twice as good as me. Do you think this is fair to me?" The other party smiled playfully.
"It's not fair, so I'll give you a fair reason. I will control Joe's remaining chips, and then as compensation for the substitution, I will add 15,000 chips belonging to me to the chips you hold." Arriving at Joe's seat, Artolis stared at the other person and said every word, slamming her hands on the table.
"That's okay!"
"Is this what you said?" Hearing Artoris's conditions, Qian Shang's lips slightly raised, as if he was waiting for Artoris to say these words herself.
"But, the price you can pay is no longer equal, so I want to add one more thing here."
