Book 2: Surviving In Another World From Zero

Chapter 24: A Trick

"I was a little interested in this place, the city of Georginia was a remote city from the capital but in a short time it became a large city, filled with adventurers, trade, great prostitution and also gambling, it just so happens that I run a business like this entertainment venue which is why I want to be able to take over everything, if in one city there is the same gambling establishment, he said, one of them will definitely lose but if Madame Adaline is willing to risk this place then I will gladly accept it."

"You sound honest right now."

"It would be better if it were said directly."

Roy laughed to break the silence.

"If mister-chan wants it, why don't we just bet on this store."

"Hoh, you just proposed a good thing."

Gamblers two and three obviously don't like it.

"If you guys want to bet like that I'm not coming."

"I am too."

"Then does this lady want to bet?" ask the gambler one.

"I have a lot of companies like that, one does no harm to me."

Ardhi chose not to listen to the matter just now and chose more thoroughly to figure out his opponent's move.

In the previous way he felt a little less attractive then Ardhi proposed something more practical.

"Then I suggest changing this gamble in a fun way."

Everyone squinted their brows including Adeline herself.

"Let's hear what that is?"

"I'm going to shuffle the cards and you just have to pick one card between them, who guesses exactly, then he's the winner, of course you have to choose this card."

Ardhi draws a card from the table and shows a Joker.

"I am quite sad because this card is rarely used in any betting."

"I'm not interested in your business."

While everyone was shocked, Liwei laughed.

"Just the first time someone's been rude to me, you're pretty interesting."

"Let's ignore that, do you agree?"

The gambler one glanced at the bodyguard next to him to confirm something, as he nodded he finally agreed then followed by another.

"Then Ardhi-chan is the card, please shake it well."

Ardhi receives the card given by Adaline, she clearly teases Ardhi by still using Chan's suffix for him.

"Then I'll start."

Ardhi slips the Joker between the cards then does his job quickly, he starts to spread the whole card to the whole table, if someone does not find the Joker then the selection of cards will restart, he will start again, the order itself the gambler one, Roy and the last Liwei.

They took one according to their turn.

For the first time the bodyguard opened his mouth.

"What if you turn out to be cheating and only benefiting your partner?"

"You're just saying it now, instead it's just gonna be an excuse if my partner wins."

Everyone fell silent at once and Ardhi took a pause in his words. In contrast to how to use the power of Ardhi has a very strong power in thinking.

"Don't worry, I'm not cheating, I can't change cards or use magic to find out the opponent's cards like you do."

Hearing that the bodyguard looked angry.

"What you're saying, I can't do that either."

The look on the face of the gambler one turned irritated as well as shocked, everyone must be wondering how Ardhi found out but everything was just a normal trick that Ardhi did with Adaline's support.
