    Chapter 57

    Episode 57

    The Dark Maga’s family name is the Duke of Barron.

    The last name of the castle was also Barron Castle.

    As expected from a castle ruled by the Dark Maga, it was a very large castle.

    ‘If we are to prepare to destroy Marquis Langham’s plan, we will first need money.’

    Chris crossed his arms.

    It didn’t just require money, it required a huge amount of money.

    ‘Well, it doesn’t matter. I can just ask someone else for money.’

    There are many rich people in the world, so all you had to do was empty their pockets.

    First, we decided to start playing for real.

    Barron’s Castle was also well-developed in terms of pleasure.

    “Bring me some alcohol!”

    “Ha, but?”

    “Huh! Don’t you know who I am? I am Christian Van Baren, a member of the Dark Maga! I will soon become a prince! Can you bring me a drink right now?”

    Chris tried his best to imitate the rascal.

    It secretly suited my aptitude well.

    ‘If you’re going to play, you should play properly.’

    I didn’t feel any particular eyes following me.

    However, Baron Castle is the stronghold of the Dark Maga. If he behaves in any suspicious manner, it will be reported to the Marquis of Langham immediately.

    ‘If you have fun and play around, no one will suspect anything.’

    Actually, that’s half an excuse.

    I just wanted to play.

    ‘If not now, then when will I have fun? I have to train, train all day long, even though it’s not in my fortune! All I wanted was the life of a rich, wealthy, unemployed person! I want to have fun!’

    I had a lot of fun playing around.

    But, excluding alcohol.

    As expected, they are old-fashioned when it comes to alcohol.

    Even though he threatened to use the power of the Dark Maga, he never gave him alcohol. I don’t know how the previous ‘Christian’ managed to get alcohol and drink it.

    I had no choice but to play with the ginger ale in my hand.

    ‘Damn, I hate ginger ale! I’m sick of ginger juice!’

    I played like a punk except for drinking.

    They were having such a blast that I heard this sound.

    “As expected, you’re a loser.”

    “Didn’t you say that you changed? You said that you absorbed a tremendous amount of Holy Darkness during the Holy Black Ceremony.”

    “I don’t know. I thought you had changed, but you’re still the same. I guess your bad-ass nature never goes away.”

    Tongue-clicking sounds here and there.

    Chris faintly raised the corners of his lips and concentrated even harder on playing.

    ‘It’s not easy to get a chance to have fun like this?!’

    My favorite thing is, of course, playing cards.

    I was completely immersed in the game.

    “I lost that young master again!”

    “Shouldn’t I be telling you to stop?!”

    Chris shouted, becoming even more excited.

    “10,000 rupees more!”

    The game center manager looked troubled.

    “Your Majesty, you already owe me 100,000 rupees. Why don’t you stop now?”

    “Hey! Don’t you know who I am? I’m Chris. Chris, the Prince of Darkness! And all you can do is give me 100,000 rupees?! 10,000 more rupees!”

    I quickly lost another 10,000 rupees.

    Repeat this a few more times.

    Chris’s debt to the casino has grown to over 200,000 rupees.

    The atmosphere in the game room gradually became like an icy rink.

    “That… Isn’t it really time to stop it now?”

    “…I know.”

    “Don’t those kids have any sense? Why do they keep winning? What kind of harm do they want to get into?”

    Even though he is a scoundrel, he is a descendant of the dark magician who uses the Baron surname.

    But how can you steal 200 thousand rupees in one place?

    This is crossing the line.

    But the one who was most anxious was the manager of the arcade.

    ‘What are you doing? Why do you keep winning?!’

    The manager of the game room gave the dealer a death stare.

    It was customary to give a moderate amount of damage when the Dark Maga’s mine came to play.

    But I couldn’t help but think about it, since he was tearing me down as if he was going to uproot the pillars of the family.

    ‘Do you want to die by having your throat ripped out?’

    But the dealer also sent a signal with a pale face.

    [This is weird. I don’t want to win, but I keep losing in strange ways.]

    Card games are a game of chance.

    So, unless there was some kind of fraudulent gambling, it was impossible for one side to win consecutively like this.

    But would you be crazy enough to cheat a Dark Maga figure?

    Above all, this ‘Rudolph’ game room is directly operated by Rudolph, the giant top company of the Magic Empire, and never cheats customers.

    The problem was that there were more and more people who were becoming suspicious.

    “What, are you really trying to scam me?”

    “Huh, a 5 in a row arrangement? Is it possible for a pattern to come out like that? The probability of that pattern coming out is 1 in 170,000.”

    “Just now it was an even-odd 8 array? Those rare patterns come out twice in a row? The odds of those two patterns coming out in a row are 1 in 800 million, right?”

    Again Chris lost 20 thousand rupees.

    Chris, who was very excited, tilted his head and said,

    “Something is strange. Why is the pack like this?”

    In a single word, the game room manager fell to his knees in panic.

    “Oh, it’s a misunderstanding!!”

    “We never cheated!”

    Everyone in the game room bowed their heads in thought.

    “Then, why? Is it because I’m an invalid that I lost like this?”

    “I, absolutely not! I don’t know what happened, but I’m sorry! Please stop being so angry!”

    The managers of the arcade asked for forgiveness without even knowing what they had done wrong.

    ‘Well, I’m a little sorry.’

    Chris thought to himself.

    There was one reason for this strange result.

    Chris scammed me.

    To support yourself.

    why?

    To frame someone.

    ‘Well, those employees didn’t do anything wrong, but Rudolph’s superiors are very guilty.’

    It’s a famous top.

    Let’s see the name, it’s so good I could have shouted jackpot.

    We had a deep connection in our previous lives.

    “I will cancel all your debts, Master! No, I will even give you a consolation money!”

    “Are you telling me to eat a few pennies and then fall?”

    “That, that’s absolutely not true!!”

    “Bring the person in charge.”

    “…yes?”

    Chris raised the corners of his lips coldly.

    “You’re not going to let this huge mistake slide, are you? I’ll hold those responsible personally accountable.”

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    I was guided to the VVIP room on the top floor of the hotel, which is connected to the game room.

    “Okay, please wait a moment and the branch manager will be here.”

    “You’d better not be late. My patience is limited.”

    “I will keep that in mind!”

    The game center manager suddenly disappeared.

    Chris sat cross-legged on the plush, high-quality sofa.

    “As expected from Rudolph. They are all top-notch.”

    Chris smiled faintly.

    “Even if you eat it, it won’t be noticeable.”

    Isn’t that too much?

    you’re welcome.

    Rudolph’s upper part was deep in his previous life.

    Mostly in a negative way.

    ‘I’ve been treated badly by my superiors.’

    Chris frowned.

    He was a great merchant.

    How many times has Chris been hit in the back of the head?

    ‘Of course, I paid it back several times over later.’

    In fact, it wasn’t to that level, it was completely made into a fool.

    It almost became his money bag.

    – How long are you going to rip me off, you bastard!!

    – Until the world ends?

    The voice of the superior who had been shouting loudly seemed to echo.

    Even though he had literally eaten his way to the end of the world, Chris still had not let go of his past grudge.

    He’s a jerk. Once you hit him in the back of the head, you never forget it.

    ‘It’s fate that we met like this again, so I have to make you my guest again.’

    This is a good thing, since I was already feeling the need for a personal purse.

    ‘First, let’s have a drink.’

    The wine was poured into a glass from an antique glass bottle.

    Everyone was acting old-fashioned, so I had a quick drink because I was hungry.

    ‘… Damn it, it was ginger ale. You fu*king bastards.’

    Chris brought me ginger ale because I was underage!

    I frowned, but the door opened.

    A very handsome young man appeared.

    “Meet the renowned Christian Van Baren Kassar of the Dark Maga. My name is Rubid, the Lord of the Upper House of Rudolph.”

    Chris looked slightly surprised for a moment.

    The top stock unexpectedly appeared?

    No, that’s not the reason.

    ‘Look at this.’

    The owner of the Rudolph’s Tower, he knew, was a woman.

    But the person who appeared now was a man.

    How did this happen?

    ‘That’s interesting.’

    Christian, who already knew the ‘secret’ of the upper class, smiled faintly.

    The facial features of Ruby, who introduced herself as the owner of the upper house, came into view.

    Dark brown hair, blue eyes.

    A bright and likeable impression.

    He was a handsome young man with a thin facial line and a strong androgynous feel. At first glance, he looked like a woman.

    He poured the ginger ale into the glass with an interested look on his face.

    “Yeah, you heard the story, right?”

    “Yes, honestly, I don’t know what’s going on. A card game that’s being played by a swindler. I’m confused.”

    “So, it’s not your fault?”

    “No, absolutely not. However, since the nobleman was offended, we cannot say that we are completely free from responsibility.”

    Ruby, the upper-ranking official, held out an envelope.

    “As a token of my apology, I will cancel all debts you owe me in the game room. Please accept my small gift.”

    When I opened the envelope, there was a Rudolph nose design on it.

    “If there is anything you want, please let us know. We will get it for you at cost price.”

    Rudolph’s Top runs an auction house.

    So, all kinds of precious items could be easily obtained.

    “Hmm, can I tell you what I need to know now?”

    “Please speak.”

    “Ruina.”

    “…yes?”

    “Go save the woman named Ruina.”

    In an instant, a solid line appeared on the face of the superior.

    The top lord smiled again as if it were a lie.

    “What do you mean?”

    “Do you know who this woman named Ruina is?”

    “Well… I know. Aren’t you a famous merchant on the Union side?”

    Gypsy Ruina.

    He was one of the leading merchants in the union that operated ‘Dear Top’.

    “No matter how great our top is, we can’t bring in the top shareholders of the union….”

    “Is it really impossible?”

    Chris asked clearly.

    Looking at the face of the person above.

    Looking at the delicate and neutral facial line that would make you believe she was a woman.

    “I think I can do it.”

    “!!”

    Did you sense something in Chris’s tone?

    Ruby’s face hardened.

    Ruby took a step back and smiled awkwardly.

    “Wh, what are you talking about… I don’t understand.”

    “You don’t know? Then, instead of calling me Ruby, would you mind calling me by this name?”

    Chris said in a deep voice.

    “Luina’s upper house.”

    “!!”

    “You disguised it well. Is it the power of the holy relic?”

    Yes, that’s right.

    The person in front of you is Ruby and Ruinaine.

    To be exact, she had a double identity as a woman disguised as a man.

    On the magic side, the upper main road above Rudolph.

    On the Union side, the top stock at the top of Deer.

    In that moment, Ruby, no, Ruina’s expression changed into a variety of colors.

    When I realized that Chris knew everything, I felt pale, shocked, and then a sense of crisis, and finally, a murderous urge.

    At that moment, Ruina’s hand went into her arms, as if trying to shut her mouth by killing her.

    “If you take that out, you die.”

    “!!”

    “If you don’t believe me, gamble.”

    For a moment, a look of maddening worry crossed Ruina’s face.

    I bit my lip as I looked at Chris’ face, and eventually.

    “…How did you not know?”

    I raised the white flag.

    Pfft!

    The appearance changed with an afterimage that seemed to be noisy.
