Chapter 47: (2)

There, Tanaka couldnt help but listen to the whispers of the devil. He put his position as the leader before the bonds of camaraderie.

What an evil. What a little man!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had awakened to evil charisma. There was no doubt that the current Tanaka had stepped on the domain where he could without any hesitation perform a simulation in his brain of calling out to a high school girl on the street. No, that was not all. If he continued to tread upon this path of evil, it might not be impossible for him to simulate in his brain the scene of him smiling at a middle school girl. Hed just pulled off that much of a heinous act which involuntarily led to such a conclusion.

And then, the smirk on Tanakas face as he continued to move forward. It was truly the culmination of small men. It could be said that the stench of little man he radiated had reached the domain of God. However, perhaps that was an inevitable occurrence. As the man, who originally possessed unparalleled qualities of a little man, had inherited the power of God, after all. It was already at the point where no matter how much of a little man they were, in front of Tanaka they were as good as a great man with beautiful women on their beck and call.

Such a king of little men thought. The heights of vigilance the soldiers from earlier displayed. Something bad was about to happen he thought. Truly a terrifying intuition of a little man. Carefreely proceeding forward, Tanaka racked his brain. A plan to sneak into the town alone and gather information. While he was at it no, maybe this was the most important point. He vowed resolutely in his heart to grab ahold the opportunity of encountering a beautiful woman this time.

The most prosperous city in the eastern part of the Purin Kingdom, Ketavanagh O. It was both the central government of the eastern part of the kingdom as well as a city of entertainment where riches gathered. As if to show off their wealth, many of the people who came and went there were gaudily dressed, the conversations they had were lively, and the air of decadence was wafting around at some places. This air of decadence was most apparent in the huge building standing at the center of the city and which was also the symbol of the city, the state-run casino.

The casino was even more bustling than the city itself. Numerous people were enjoying various kinds of gambles here. The situation was similar to that of the city itself, and there were even some seedy-looking people who did not seem to be able to afford to enjoy themselves in gamble. However, that was nothing but one part of this casino. Once you walked upstairs, the scene changed completely. There was no shadow of the lower class people seen on the lower floor, and the amount of money being wagered by the people playing there was on another level. The higher you went up, the more pronounced the tendency became, and a hint of madness began to drift about somewhere along the way.

And then the top most floor. Those who were possessed by madness were engrossed in a brutal game there. The one that attracted the full of madness eyes was a certain table. Two groups of people were facing each other there.

Full house 3 points

Four of a kind 8 points

Straight flush 12 points

Royal Flush 20 points

The game ended when either players point was reduced to zero. Even though this rarely happened, there was the chance of his defeat settled in only two games with his opponent pulling off two consecutive big hands. The pressure weighed heavily on the young man, Toby. Desperately telling his hand that seemed about to tremble in nervousness to calm down, Toby checked his hand. The result was no pair. No sequential numbers. And each card was of a different suit. Truly the worst possible start.

Lets start the game with me as the lead. Fufufu, Im a sucker for this game you see. Especially when were betting something in the game.

General Red drew a card from the deck with a relaxed smile on his face. Showing no hesitation in his movements, he added the card to his hand and discarded another.

Was he taking one step forward? Or was he just bluffing to make it look like he was making progress and to prevent his opponent from going for a big hand? Toby did not have the ability to read the expression on General Reds face.

Right now, his first priority was to advance his hand. Telling so to himself, Toby drew a card from the deck. The cards in his hand did not advance. In order to at least put some pressure on his opponent, he kept the card he drew and discarded another.

(Fufufu, not bad. But he failed to conceal his expression and gesture. I can read his thoughts like an open book.)
