Knights, Magic, and Technology
chapter 69's

"You must be cheating!!!..... "

fake did not accept this defeat, with defeat especially the thing he bet on was very valuable because teleportation tools were very rare because the magic circle was too difficult to make.

Fake risked the object because it was carried away by the atmosphere alone, while Rose could only let his group's precious books be taken.

meanwhile Kai stood up and headed beside Arcane and knelt down.

"i Kai have served the new master! "

everyone was surprised and amazed because Kai-class people in the underworld are very rarely who act supportive, while the subordinates do not accept Kai's decision.

"sir does it have to be like this!! "

"we don't have to obey this stupid gambling!!"

"you're too amazing to be under his leadership"

Kai did not move his body at all, but he spoke instead.

"lose Yes lose, win Yes win.

maybe it's my destiny, if you want to follow me then get on your knees too, if you don't go"

some of Kai's followers have now become hesitant, they have been together for a very long time and with Kai and the black hill group behind them they can be free to do anything as long as it does not involve Kai or the gang.

finally some decided to leave without saying anything and some also berated Kai for upholding his attitude of justice.

but there are also those who are willing to be with Kai and pay respect to Arcane, Arcane like no matter he is busy continuing to flip this book makes Kai and others continue to pay respect.

meanwhile Fake took his ring and said.

"i'll take that thing out and-"

"you can't take Fake's ring" said Arcane, who cut off Fake's conversation.

Fake was confused and asked immediately.

"what do you mean!? "

Arcane closed the book and said casually.

"you said risk the teleportation thing, but you put the ring on the gambling table so you risked everything in the ring and everything in it"

"what!!!, the rules of where it is!!

there is no deal on that!! " fake said with annoyance.

Arcane stared at the fake and he now gave a dismissive tone.

"there is an unwritten rule at the gambling table where everything on the table other than the cards or the drinks will be considered the stakes"

Fake was getting annoyed at Arcane's words he now wanted to beat Arcane but his gaze turned to Kai who was kneeling, who was on his knees, he couldn't do anything and then in a fit of annoyance he turned around leaving behind everything that was there.

as he was about to leave, Fake said loudly.

"i'll get you back, kid"

then Arcane opened the book again and said.

"then for Miss Rose is there any other business? "

Rose shook her head and left the building, even though she still stared at Arcane with a cruel look.

after all that tension Arcane immediately leaned back on the chair casually like nothing had happened.

"huh... finally, now where is Brian!? "

__________________________________________________________

in a room, happy cries could be heard filling the room, there was a voice of gratitude as well as passing through the storm that hit.

but a voice forced them to stop it.

"Brian, I don't mean to ruin this moment, but it's been too long for you to hug your family"

he wiped his tears then turned and knelt before Arcane who was sitting on the sofa available there with his Head bowed as his highest honor and followed by his family.

Arcane then said with his flat gaze.

"now tell me what our relationship is until you trust me so much... "

Brian nodded and began to speak.

"it all started when the servant came to this capital pang-"

"wait. "cut Arcane.

he immediately stood up and went out to pick up some snacks and extra chairs.

after doing so he said casually.

"it's not good to tell stories when you're in that position, right?

sit down, and you two sit in the chair"

Arcane spoke while pouring some snacks in his hand, while Brian was a little confused by Arcane's mannerisms.

he then said.

"but your master's degree as Prince... "

hearing the word Arcane degrees immediately said.

"degree? prince? that title is useless right now I don't want it either, although it's a little useful anyway.

but I'm going to get another title in the future with my own efforts so let's just say I'm the same as you"

hearing that Brian's wife and son were confused and hesitant but on the other hand Brian smiled and pulled a chair but still relaxed.

seeing that his wife and son also followed him sitting on the other side available in the room, after everyone sat down Brian told a story.

"it all started when I came to this capital.... "@

Brian began to tell me that he came to this capital as a nomad and wanted to change his fate, he wandered because his parents had died and his last message was to have his son sell all his possessions and go as far away from his home.

Brian knew that his parents did not mean evil and wanted his son not to be fixated with the life of the small village where he grew up.

long story short after traveling and coming to the capital which became his childhood destination he began to look for work here.

various jobs he did ranging from haulers to mine workers, all he went through until he met with Fake.

it was a chance meeting where Fake needed workers who could care for his collection, Brian who was in need of money could only take the opportunity.

while working there Brian felt uneasy and worried because in addition to the guards or soldiers who worked there felt threatened, Brian could know because their faces were very frightened.

and here's the worry, when at night someone comes to steal Fake's collectibles.

it just so happened that Brian was passing by because he did not want anything bad to happen Brian immediately tried to prevent the thief, but the thief managed to get away.

the bodyguards came and saw the incident and at that time there was nothing strange, until the investigation of the stolen item was in Brian's room.

at that time Brian knew that he was being trapped and the possibility of all his workers fared the same as him.

without a second thought Fake immediately accused Brian, brian could have been in prison but Fake instead made him a slave with the first commandment that is to shut his mouth about how to trap someone or the sign of a slave will make all his bones shifted.

at that time Brian knew why everyone here put on a look of horror, that's because they probably wanted to tell him about Fake's cunning and his plan to make himself a free slave Fake's palagi told him that he was also related to the Viper gang.

Brian was like a dead man whose neck was chained and his future was shattered, as he felt hope would not come to him.

whether it was coincidence or a miracle, when he was outside to buy some things for his master, yet just then a little boy dressed like a noble came in with a flat gaze.

the little boy gave Brian a few loaves of bread and fine clothes then freed him from the status of a slave.

he had thought that his fate would be worse, but it turned out he freed him and introduced him to some businessmen and some gold pieces to give him the provision to start a business.

from there his life is getting better and smoother, although he has to intersect with the cruel underworld but he can strengthen his business to have a wife and children.

but even so, Fake is still after him and trying to make him fall back because he felt offended when he knew his former slave was able to rival his wealth.
