Chapter 367 Chapter-367

?

There are 52 cards in a deck and only 2 jokers in them. That means you have a very low chance of picking out any of the jokers.

Now, if you separate 10 random cards from the deck and put them on a table, the chances of having a joker among them are even lower.

But when you pick four cards from the ten cards on the table, and three of them turn out to be Aces, while the last one turns out to be the joker, you can be assured that lady luck is standing on your side.

The probability for this to happen is very complex, but Anon did it, and even he was surprised at this point.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, as all of you can see, Anon has won the dead card's trade that was meant to lose. Is this what solid luck feels like?" The commentator announced, getting very excited by the view that he just saw.

"Heh... seems like the goddess of luck is really looking at him with a smile," Ion said as he smirked a bit and moved back to his seat.

"Father, what should we do? We are losing here," Xander asked.

"We are going to do nothing. Just prepare your boy, and I will go and talk to that kid," Ion said as he looked at Anon.

"What? That kid? Why would you-"

Bonk

Before Xander could've completed his sentence, Ion hit him with his cane.

"Shut up, Don't ask too many questions, just do as I say," Ion spoke as he looked at Xander.

"Y-Yes, father," Xander said as he moved towards Jeffery.

"Shut up, won't ask questions," Xander spoke in a low voice as he mimicked his dad in a funny way.

Bonk

"I can hear you, bastard," Ion said as he threw his cane at Xander and hit his head with it.

"S-Sorry Father," Xander shouted as he started walking faster.

'I am the most powerful... No, the second most powerful man in this kingdom, and father is hitting me in front of everyone as if I am just a spoiled punk,' Xander thought with an angry expression on his face.

Anon was getting ready for his fight inside one of the empty classrooms, or more like he was sleeping.

Tap-Tap

Suddenly, he heard a sound of someone knocking on his door.

"Come in," Anon spoke as he didn't bother to stand up and open the door.

"Hello.... Kid," Ion said as he opened the door and looked at Anon with a surprised expression.

"Hmmm...? Jeena's grandfather? What do you want?" Anon asked with a shocked expression.

"Call me Ion. I am going to live for another 5000 years," Ion spoke.

"Well, Ion. I don't think so," Anon replied with a smile.

"I am not here for the chit-chat about my age," Ion spoke.

"So, what else do you want?" Anon asked.

"I can tie that match..." Ion spoke.

"Hmmm....? You do realize that this is a deathmatch, right? This ends when one of us turns out dead. Why would you want to tie this match anyway?" Anon asked with a confused expression.

"I can make anything happen here, kid. I can turn this match into a tie. I can even make you win in this match, if I want to," Ion spoke with a smile.

"Well, I don't need your help," Anon replied.

"There is something different about you. I don't think anyone else would've rejected this offer, but you did. It only means one thing, that you are sure about your victory. You have a hidden card up your sleeve," Ion spoke.

"I can't tell you that. Just tell me, what do you want, Sir?" Anon asked with a serious expression.

"Hahaha... you are a sharp kid, not like that Jeffery. He is just a flattering machine. He is buttering me and my family from the day we selected him to marry my granddaughter.

I don't like him anyway, but Xander does, that's why I am here. I am not the guy who likes to lose... that's why I play from both sides," Ion spoke.

"Are you here to buy me off with money?" Anon asked.

"No, and I don't think you have any lack of money because if you had, you wouldn't have kicked my daughter inside the academy that's working on my money entirely, am I right?" Ion asked with a smile.

"Well..."

"I know I am right, kid. These hairs are turning white from experience... I don't read books, I read people, and I read you," Ion spoke.

"You are still missing the point of this conversation," Anon spoke.

"Yes, I want you to play for me. Kill that Jeffery kid... here," Ion said as he summoned a ring and threw it towards Anon.

"Hmmm....? What is this?" Anon asked with a confused expression.

"Every top-grade weapon you can find in this kingdom, from physical to magical," Ion spoke.

"Why do you want me to kill him? Isn't he your grandson-in-law?" Anon asked.

"He was, but I have seen passion in your eyes. You are the best for her, and you should be the one who would marry her," Ion spoke.

"Who? Your daughter?" Anon asked.

"Yes. I am a grandfather; I have to select the best and the strongest man for her. You are passionate and calm. You will achieve strength, massive strength in a very short time, I can say that for sure.

I will teach you my Sword technique personally," Ion spoke.

"What if I reject your offer?" Anon spoke.

"You can, but if you survive today, I will still teach you the technique, even if you don't marry my daughter," Ion spoke with a smile.

"What if I died ?" Anon spoke.

"Then I will consider that you were not worthy of learning my sword technique." Ion replied.

"Why are you stuck on that? What is it that your sword technique can do, and I can't do?" Anon asked.

"Well, use your best spell on me. I will not use any defense, and believe me, use the most powerful technique you have," Ion spoke.

"Huh...? Are you sure?"

"Just do it, kid."

"Well, if you are asking for it, but you don't have a sword. Do you want this ring?" Anon asked.

"No, just do it. I don't have time."

<Thunder Javelin: Final Form 100% mana use.>

Suddenly a massive trident sparkling with blue thunder was formed in Anon's hand.

"Here you go, old man," Anon said as he threw the spear at Ion with his full power.
