The Cursed Bloodline
Misi

Yuri could not even blink, looking at the scene in front of her. Hundreds of tables were lined up in the hall so majestic, even the decoration of the room looked so luxurious and classy with shades of red and gold

Tens of.... No. gabe.... Hundreds of people gathered to simply bet their money or gold on the gambling tables. Various types of gambling are there, both traditional gambling-based in the form of simple card games. Until poker, monopoly and many more. Yuri didn't even quite know what those people were playing right now, or what kind of gambling it was all about

"What the fuck? "yuri's mumbling was still frozen

" Look at that pile of gold! " said Yuri while staring at the gambling table with a bet of 5 gold bar levels. Did he think that gold was at stake?

While Zou and Nee were just standing staring at the scene in front of him just plain, they were as if they were familiar with the place

Zou just looked back and forth, looking for something that his senses had not caught

"Where is that Zuryu boy? "he muttered as he continued to search

" We don't mind Zuryu, you better go straight to the room" Nee told Zou

Yuri was only confused, wasn't his mission searching for information on the Red Cops? Why did he end up in such a place?

"Are we not going to gather information? We didn't come to gamble, did we? " tanya Yuri who is still confused by Tengu's mission

" Tengu's mission isn't just to find information by simply threatening someone or scaring them. Tengu prefers to use elegant means when it comes to information gathering. At least the information we get is of higher quality

Well... Although sometimes you have to spill blood" said Zou while shrugging his shoulders.

Zou leaves Yuri and Nee disappears somewhere. For Nee his appearance is now completely unsuitable for a mission like this, he prefers to sit in a corner while looking at the situation

"Whatchu mean? " said Yuri as she ran after them, but her gaze still could not be diverted from the tables around her

Yuri was still stunned to see the vast gambling arena, some people were even risking their home certificates, or a small coin they had.

They do not care, as long as the fun in gambling they fulfill even though their possessions are drained in a matter of hours at the gambling table

Glekk.....

Yuri gulped his saliva, he was so surprised someone even risked his hand on the gambling arena. He saw a man put his right hand on bail, with a large knife beside him

"Crazy! Such a person is stupid! " murm Yuri was astonished by the people there

Zou just walked quietly through the boisterous room. A few bodyguards, Hosts and hostesses there looked down respectfully at the red-haired man. That means almost everyone there knows him

"Information gathering in a place like this is the most effective. Because what? All the people from all over the country gathered here, especially those who might contribute in the land of Sora

This mission, aimed at approaching people who may be involved and have ties with Sora's top military brass, is to target our investigation, the Red Cops.

And it is easier for us to pry information in a place like this, we will not be suspected by the military soldiers of Sora Country. Because what? " question Zou to Yuri, he wanted to know the extent of the intelligence of the girl he often ridiculed

" yeah... So it's like that..... We're going to get those secret information holders against us at the gambling tables. Bet up to the blood-out point

If they lose, they'll open their mouths to pay us with information

But, they won't report us to anyone, for whatever reason they're guilty of getting into our trap? " said Yuri while confirming her glasses

" Kingbo! Wugh... How can you understand with just one explanation? Yuri's... You." said Zou amazed, he did not expect the girl who only lives with snakes in a cave could be so responsive

" so... Who is our target approach? " ask Yuri

They arrive in a room deep in the corner of the building, Zou enters with Yuri. A room like an inn, with a variety of clothes in it, a room that is quite spacious with a thick Japanese accent

Dags.....

The door suddenly closed. Caged Zou and Yuri in that spacious room

Yuri could only narrow her eyes, such circumstances led her mind to stay alert, especially to the red-haired man in front of her.

However, men like Zou should he stay away, Zou's look that was too innocent and cute actually made Yuri more shudder

"- Why are you taking me to a place like this? " ask Yuri a little stuttering

Zou who stood in front of Yuri, only looked at her with the tail of his eyes. He turned around and looked at the girl with a lazy look. Then slowly remove the buttons of the Tengunya robe just like that

" A-What are you doing? STUPID TOMATO! " said Yuri surprised by Zou's actions, cross her hands on her chest

The red-haired man could only let out a long sigh hearing Yuri who was parno, he chose to sit down and explain the plot

" Hear Yuri, whatever your tomato head is, I beg you to throw it away. I have absolutely no interest in a barbarian girl like you" Zou said lazily

Yuri also began to lower her hands, and changed the look of the face that had been surprised, with a relaxed face that was impressed at the forced

"Ha... Huh... Huh... Sure do...... Even if the world is destroyed, and it leaves us alone. We will never make peace with each other! Ha.. Ha.. Ha! " yuri said with a crisp laugh, while walking away from Zou

Zou could only roll his eyes, even just a few minutes ago he praised the woman's judgment, as if he wanted to retract his words..

Zou also took out a photo from under his cloak, revealing a portrait of a young man with pale facial skin, as well as a forced smile and a fake impression

"Who is that? "Ask Yuri while narrowing her eyes, however her gaze was still blurred with such a distance, now the distance between the two reached 5 meters

The weapons produced under his control are one of the highest quality weapons, and are very popular with the Sora government

We'll get him to stake all his money, and if we manage to defeat him we'll be able to get information regarding Sora's Red Cops. According to Zuryu Itasuke who supplied the second weapon Cops Sora. "said Zou while bringing closer the photo in his hand, so that Yuri could see clearly

Yuri now saw clearly, she just nodded her head in understanding

"All right.... Then... Let's do it! Why come to a place like this? " said Yuri began to get excited at her first Tengu mission

" gr... You're this.... In order to advance to the battlefield, we need weapons.

Look at that deck suit of yours, even if you approach the VIP arena alone you will already be expelled! " say Zou

Yuri just tilted her head, puzzled. Wasn't he just freely breezed in the middle of a gambling table? Why should I be kicked out? Yuri thought the tables with the fantastic bets were the VIP tables

"Are we not going back there? Vip Room. Wasn't that gambling aren? " say Yuri

" Huh..... If we dress like this, we can't get into the VIP room upstairs.

You know, on the ground floor earlier was a low-class gambling arena here. On the 2nd floor is standard grade, you must have at least 100 gold pieces to enter there

While on the 3rd floor, you have at least 1000 pieces of gold.... And what is it? While on the 4th floor of the building. "Zou's speech stopped, he was counting with his finger.

" You need at least 5000 gold pieces as your assets, otherwise you will be kicked even before your shadow hits the 2nd floor of the building" Zou said lightly

Yuri could only freeze, with her mouth open. How the poor girl seemed to be able to get in, even she still owed Xio a bunch of clothes now

"I.... I'm not coming... This mission is too heavy! " said Yuri while looking down

" For such a trivial matter, you don't have to worry. You can choose Kimono lined up there. "pointing Zou to the row of kimono in front of him

"Wait, the clothes are only for men" said Zou while rubbing his chin

Geck... Geck.. Geck...

The sound of the door knocking was heard from outside, Zou knew the person who knocked on the door was Zuryu. He also let her in

"Hm.... Come in blue boy! " said Zou, again with a strange name

"He's so disrespectful, look who he calls a boy, you tomato boy! " grunter Yuri was annoyed by Zou's Attitude

"I'm sorry I came late, Mr. Zou" Zuryu said in a salute. Zuryu's eyes were now fixed on the girl in front of him. Zuryu came in with a suitcase in his hand

"I've guessed you're also coming along with Miss Yuri" Zuryu said as she waved her hand at Yuri, and was met with a smile by the girl with tears in her eyes

"I've brought you whatever it takes. 8000 pieces of gold have been frozen in a check, while 10 mines are also included, Mr. "

Truly a fantastic number, Yuri believes missions like this are so important, just by looking at the totality of the Zou bet alone. And Tengu's way, so classy instead of using their magic

"Mr Itasuke, he is known not only as a military weapons businessman, he is also dubbed as Satan Gambling here. It can only be approached by people who are proficient in gambling. Often he fought the winner of each gambling floor, and ended up being defeated just like that

I've tried to get close to him, but he'll only talk to people who want to gamble with him

He is the type of businessman who keeps his promises, whatever the stakes and how much value he will meet if he loses.

However, he is also someone who keeps his client's secrets, so until recently, no one had known Sora's military secrets as well as he did.

Especially he was so trusted by Mr. Tanuki, the leader of the Red Cops Sora. So it can be said, it is quite difficult to approach him, unless he is defeated in the gambling arena" Zuryu assures

As the owner of the gambling house, he never even spoke directly with his VIP customers, making it very difficult to pry information. That's why Zou tried to approach him

"Did the illusion magic not work on him? " say Yuri

" Illusion Magic is very influential if people who are immersed in magic are shaken by their emotions, at least that is what we have to do in our magic tarap (Average illusion magic). Different story if the level is equivalent to Xio

However, Xio actually took on another mission" Zou said with a lazy tone

"For ordinary illusory Magic sizes, it was extremely difficult to achieve success if his emotional targets were not shaken.

And to lord Itasuke, he was known as an emotionless man, and only showed a fake smile. How could he be trapped in our magic,

Moreover, he was also a Military man. So it's so hard " explains Zuryu

"So... We have no other choice? " murm Yuri

" For that, I have one of the Hostes here to help Miss Yuri dress up. I'll make sure you reach the 4th floor of this building! " said Zuryu

"Well... Again and again.... You have no power over your own gambling parlour Zuryu... Ckckc" said Yuri walking past Zuryu, occasionally patting the man on the shoulder

"That's how.... Life is difficult Miss. "reply Zuryu, leaving the room and telling Yuri where to go

As for Zou, just shaking his head looked at the behavior of the tomato girl and the blue boy

"All right.... What impression am I going to make tonight? Glamour, charming, Or....? " murm Zou while picking some clothes in front of him
