PAID Chapter 144
"What did you just say? Repeat that."
Andrei, the boss of the Kingdom of Heaven, put down the magical device he was holding and asked again. The subordinate, who had come to report, was sweating profusely, clearly intimidated.
"A wealthy guy showed up, so we planned to let him win a little and then take him for all he had, like usual, but…"
"But what?"
As Andrei pressed for an answer, the subordinate's face grew more troubled and anxious. After a moment of hesitation, he finally closed his eyes tightly and blurted out,
"We lost everything! Every single one of our men lost to him!"
The subordinate braced himself, expecting an outburst of anger and a scolding. But contrary to his expectations, Andrei didn't react as predicted. He simply paused in thought and then spoke.
"Our men lost everything? So, he hasn’t lost even once?"
"Not exactly. When he played against the regular customers, it was about fifty-fifty. But whenever our guys tried to cheat him, he won without fail, whether they were acting as dealers or other players. Once, we even set it up so that everyone at the table except him was one of our guys, and he still won."
"And even with our men rigging the game, he won… What about the mana detectors?"
"They didn’t detect anything."
"Hmm, I see. If the detectors had gone off, you wouldn’t be here reporting this. It was a pointless question."
Andrei drummed his fingers on the table as he pondered, then gestured with his hand.
"It seems this guy came here with a purpose. Stop trying to cheat him and let him have his fun. Such people are like natural disasters. If we leave him alone, he’ll eventually get bored and leave. If he comes back, just make up some excuse and put him on the blacklist so he can’t enter again."
"Understood!"
"Wait. We should at least know who he is before letting him go. Did you find out anything?"
The subordinate, who had been relieved at surviving the encounter, quickly bowed again, still flustered.
"Before coming here, I did some digging. His name is Mira Creighton, the youngest son of the Creighton family. There’s no doubt about it."
