The Cursed Bloodline
Playing Chance
The silhouette of the red-haired man, the look of a very 'plain' face was waiting while leaning his body on the dingding.
Occasionally Zou looked at the door of the room in front of him. His glaring gaze and implying great irritation were clearly visible in his hazel brown eyes
"I hate waiting. Yuri why so long huh! " the murmur sounds like a curse
Zou, the appearance of the man who looked like a 19-year-old boy looked so different when he took off his Tengunya black robe.
Red hair that seemed disheveled, but did not change the cute impression on his face. She now wears a maroon-accented kimono, matching her hair color. Simple appearance, but does not leave a charming and elegant impression
Cckek......
The sound of the door opening, revealing a far different Yuri than usual. The red mane is rolled up with a small white lily decoration embedded. The kimono is deliberately left sagging on the shoulder, exposing the white neck of its radius.
While her face was inlaid as thin as possible, Yuri took off her glasses and showed her beautiful Ruby eyes even with minimal decoration. Beautiful and graceful are words that describe the current Yuri
"Ep..... Do I see weird? " he said uncomfortable, while confirming the position of the neck of his kimono that was left to sag until it showed his shoulders a little
" This appearance is already appropriate Miss, to attend the event on the 4th floor. All of our VIIP customers will be gathered there" said a woman who helped Yuri dress up
"Is that so? " he said according to her, although a little uncomfortable wearing a kimono that slightly exposed her body. But this is for the sake of a mission
Yuri wore a beautiful lili-accented kimono, black in color with a slight blend of gold in the lily decoration. Beautiful and glamorous kimono, that is the theme of her clothes today. At least to deceive the enemy at the gambling table
"Have finished? " said Zou who had been waiting for a long time, he walked towards Yuri
" gr... Like with just a piece of cloth, can you wrap up your barbaric nature? Akuu... You're beautiful today Yuri" said Zou, smiling softly
"You're the same, Tomato! " said Yuri while narrowing her eyes. It was strange that Zou praised him
They also walked to the 3rd floor of the Judi building with the help of Zuryu. However, Zuryu's power only gets there, the rest of Zou and Yuri must attempt to reach the highest floor, where Itasuke often plays with their gambling abilities
......................
Zuryu, waiting for the arrival of Yuri and Zou right at the door to the gambling room on the 3rd floor
"You look charming, people might not think you're military if you look like that" Zuryu said, welcoming the arrival of Zou and Yuri
He then handed the suitcase to Zou, then tried to approach to provide information
"To save time, I've arranged for you to play with the greatest handler on the 3rd floor. If you can defeat that guy, I guarantee it will be very easy to win against Itasuke" whispered Zuryu
"All right. " said Zou. He also took the black suitcase
"Pst... And for Miss Yuri you will only be Mr. Zou's partner. Didn't the Hostes have been explained clearly about the game that occurred on the 3rd and 4th floors, right? " ask Zuryu to make sure
Yuri nodded, it was true that the woman who dressed him earlier gave a flash lesson regarding the gambling game that took place on the 4th and 3rd floors. A Traditional Gambling that is very easy to understand
" The rules are quite simple, so I already understand the theory" Yuri said convincingly
In the casino VIP arena, which is the 4th and 3rd floors, it does not use complicated gambling methods such as poker cards. The rich people, prefer to play in a simple card game, but the odds in it are so slim. So that the level of gambling excitement is increasing
"Opportunities..... That's all we need" said Zou sure
"Ep... Actually, there are more than opportunities needed. "said Yuri, he brought his face closer to Zou and whispered something
Zou's eyes rounded, after he heard Yuri's words. He turned to look at the girl standing next to him
" really? " he asked in disbelief
Yuri simply nodded, while revealing a meaningful smile on her face
" good.... Tomato Girl! " said Zou girang
While Zuryu only put on a confused face, while raising next to his eyebrows
" sat.... What are you guys planning? " Zuryu curious. But the two people in front of him only put on an ambiguous smile. Tumben once they are compact
" Whatever...... And there's a strict rule in there. Although military people are free to gamble in the VIP area, but for the sake of maintaining order, and the integrity of my judiciary building. A protective seal will suppress the magic on your body.
Everyone who entered the gambling arena, the protective seal of the room would deactivate the magic power of the Military people. So there will be no cheating or fighting during the game. It also prevents any ruse from using magic power" Zuryu said, imagining that the two people in front of him were using their magic, making him shudder. Surely the building will be destroyed
A fair enough rule, where magic power like illusion will not work in the room. So if Zou and Yuri went in there, the magic on their bodies would be suppressed by the protective seal, in other words their strength would weaken like a civilian
Hearing that, Zou turned to Yuri
"In that case, will your plan work? " ask Zou
" I don't even need to use my Gyoku for that" Yuri said confidently
......................
Zou now only looked at the two men in front of him, they were the opponents he had to defeat, at least that said Zuryu
Every now and then, the brown man saw two cards in his hand. Determine if there is a chance of winning
Sweat pours out at the temple of Zou. Although he believed in his judiciary, he could not hide his nervousness. For the third round, he has not sipped what is called victory
"I raised my bet to 1000 gold pieces! " said one of the bearded men, he looked calm with a card in his hand
Zou glanced at the other man, it seemed that the card in his hand was not a good card. Zou could see the seeming anxiety just by looking at his legs being deliberately moved, anxious
" I give up! " he said while throwing a card, with a value of 7-8
" My score is only 15" he said annoyed
The gambling game that Zou now plays, is not a complicated gamble. The player must choose two cards that are in a tube in front of him.
Inside the tube, there were dozens of rectangular-shaped cards the size of a pencil diameter. At the lower end of the cards are written one number from 1-9
The player only needs to choose two cards, which if summed up the value will form a combat value. The greater the value on both cards, the greater the chance of winning
And if the odds are in the hands of lucky players, there will be two special cards that carry the absolute power to win. Each gambling set, will be equipped with 2 heaven cards, if the player holds that card, they will fully win, they will win,
Once more... It's just a game of chance....
"So you're gonna give up? With pleasure, if so.....
Your bet of 800 pieces of gold will be automatically handed to me " said the bearded man
One more rule, anyone who has risked his money, whether it is losing or giving up automatically the betting money can not be taken again. In other words just give up he has lost and lost money
"Then? What about you, red boy? Are you going to raise your stakes, and continue playing?
Or are you gonna give up like that loser? But to me it's the same. You will definitely lose to me! " said the bearded man with his arrogant tone
Zou at a glance looks at his cards, the card in his hand is not a bad card, 8-8. A fairly high value, which can beat it there are three possibilities, the value of 9-9, 9-8 and also the card of heaven
" Continue Zou. I'm sure you'll win this time! " said Yuri who from the game lasted just sitting quietly behind Zou while crossing her hands on her chest.
He didn't even see the cards in Zou's hand. How can he be sure?
" hey... Is she your boyfriend? If you lose now, I'll make sure your woman becomes my mistress! " said the arrogant man while looking down on Yuri
Zou's hands clenched, he might not be a match for Yuri. But the girl was still his partner. And again, he was so sick of seeing the ignorant old man in front of him
"I might have lost earlier, but I don't plan on giving up! "
Brakk.....
" I raise my bet. 3000 gold pieces? Hows it? " said Zou with an annoyed look. If only his strength had not been sealed, he could have slipped his poisonous needle into the mouth of the bearded man
" agreed.... I put 3000 gold in as well. Now show me your cards. "he said with a sly smile.
Yuri got up from her seat and walked towards Zou. Slowly he held onto Zou's shoulder, and brought his face closer towards the red-haired man
" Make him play 'white', when the bet is already fantastic, the rules will apply if you ask him to" whispered Yuri
Although just learning, in fact Yuri had memorized the rules at the gambling table, especially for simple games like this
"White Rules? " murm Zou
The white rule, is a rule where the player must roll up his sleeve, and is not allowed both hands to move anywhere, and can only be placed on the table
Kimono sleeves, usually knit with a wide cloth on the wrist. Making it easier to cheat, by slipping a high-value card between the collar of the Kimono's arm
Zou nodded, and asked the Jury in charge of shuffling the cards to use the rule
"I want to play with the 'White' rule" Zou said as he raised his hand
The man in front of him was a little surprised, yet he still put on an expression as calm as possible. Yuri continued to pay attention to that Zou opponent without turning away in the slightest. Despite trying to calm down, the man could not hide his sense of regret
" so... You think I'm cheating? " he said in a disbelief tone
He immediately rolled up his kimono, and showed that he was not cheating at all, of course with a super irritated tone
" Behold! Look at! I don't cheat, I don't hide anything in my body. You guys really offended me! " said the man did not accept, he even jumped up and down while shaking his body, occasionally throwing his hands
"Sih you stupid! " Yuri only screeched at the man's behavior while Zou only grinned
" I never said I suspected you. I just want to use the white rule for myself......
Looky..... My kimonoku is so thick! And here the temperature is quite hot tau! " said Zou while shaking his hand
Teggg......
The man only realized, he was so rash. He looked at the bandage on his wrist. A cold sweat instantly appeared on his temple
"But-" Yuri's voice broke the silence.
" That bandage in your hand is old man? Is your hand hurt?
Sttts.... But strange? I saw something hidden... Tatsattt~ behind the bandage! " said Yuri pretending to be stupid while pointing at the old man's wrist
The man looked nervous, he immediately held the bandage in his right hand with his left hand
" I... Ja.... My right hand was injured yesterday!" said the man was nervous
" em's... Is that so? So why do the hands hurt, can you just move them?
Mmmm.... Your attitude is quite strange......Old man's beard !" said Zou again
" It's better now! " he said trying to swipe
Brakkk....
"If you're injured there's no way that loose bandage ties. The jury...! Please check on the man, he hid the card behind his arm bandage! " said Yuri while pounding the table
The man who was the judge examined the bearded man's arm, and sure enough there were two Heaven cards as well as two 9-valued cards tucked inside the bandage. It was only fitting that Zou always lost to him
" Fuck you j*l*ang! " as his action became known, the man broke his pocket bottle and was about to attack Yuri
Trassz......
Brakkk.....
Yuri was about to dodge, but Zou swiftly kicked the man to a bounce, and smashed a table behind him
" Enough you admit wrong, don't let those trashy words out of your smelly mouth! " murm Zou with a sharp look
Within the crowd that Zou and Yuri had caused, a man casually left the room. Putting his hand in his pocket, he appeared to be playing some gambling cards in his hand
"An interesting woman" he said as he left from there
