Chapter-11

"Kid, don't you dare to think that you have already won?" Estreth Deu said while gnashing his teeth.

"then let's continue," Alan said with light smile.

After this, Alan and Estreth Deu continued to gamble nine more times and Alan never opened a worthless lump of stone, and he consecutively won all the times.

All the surrounding people cast their greed filled gazes towards Alan but looking at Xiao Feifei who stood besides him, they didn't dare to do anything and shifted their gazes towards Estreth Deu.

Estreth Deu lost ten times in succession. Not taking into account the gold coins used to purchase the Black Stones, Estreth Deu lost 1000 gold coins to Alan.

At that moment, Alan was elated. He was feeling extremely pleased with himself. He was also feeling extremely rejuvenated. As he got a total of ten spirit stones and the profit he would gain from them were no way inferior to the amount lost by Estreth Deu.

"Young master Deu, do you still want to continue?" Xiao Feifei asked Estreth Deu with a sly smile.

"young master, that's enough."

Right at that moment, an Elder, who had kept his silence the entire time, was finally unable to contain himself.

As matters stood, everyone saw Alan as though he was some sort of freak.

If they were to continue gambling, Estreth Deu would only continue to lose.

When even the bystanders were able to tell, how could Estreth Deu possibly be unable to tell?

If he were to still insist on continuing the gambling with Alan under this sort of situation, then he would be an idiot.

"Elder, it is a gamble between my clan's Shura and young master Deu. Whether or not they are to stop this gamble must be up to them, not us."

After she finished saying those words,Xiao Feifei looked to Estreth Deu and said, "Young master Deu, do you still want to continue? If you wish to continue, then Shura will accompany you till the end. If you wish to stop, we will stop right away. Everything depends on your decision."

Who would've thought that Xiao Feifei would actually not give face to Estreth Deu.

At that moment, many people started urging Estreth Deu to not let his emotions affect his decisions. They were telling him to not continue to gamble against Shura for the sake of face. After all, the price of losing would be an enormous amount of gold coins.

However, how could Estreth Deu admit defeat like this? If he were to admit defeat, wouldn't he be loosing all of his face?

After Xiao Feifei spoke, Estreth Deu's expression suddenly changed. He who was in dilemma immediately revealed an extremely displeased expression.

Thus, he said to Alan with a

sly smile, "Who said that I wouldn't gamble. But this time let's make the gambling amount 2000 gold coins."

Hearing those words, not to mention Elder and Xiao Feifei, even gambling Hall's elders and the surrounding crowd revealed a change in their expressions.

This was an enormous amount and it was the amount that Alan nearly had.

"Increase the stake?!"

The crowd were all stunned upon hearing those words.

What was Estreth Deu thinking? He had already lost ten times in succession, yet he still wanted to increase the stake? Could he have gone mad?

Even Alan was bewildered. He asked, "Increase the stake? Are you certain you want to increase the stake?"

"That's right," Estreth Deu said in a manner of absolute certainty

Everyone was looking at Estreth Deu with disbelief in their eyes.

Mad, Estreth Deu had simply gone mad. How could it still be considered a gamble? He was simply giving Shura more money.

"Young Master, you…"

the Elder immediately wanted to urge Estreth Deu against it. He felt that his young master had already allowed his emotions to affect his decisions. Otherwise, he wouldn't possibly suggest an increase to two thousand gold coins.

However, before he could even say anything, Estreth Deu said something near his ear.

At that moment, elder was stunned but again regained his confidence.

After that Estreth Deu continued. " but this this time we will select three spirit stone ores one from each floor and the winner will be the one with the best quality spirit stones"

At that time, no one was hopeful of Estreth Deu winning.But there was an exception and that was the elder who spoke with Estreth Deu

"Very well, l'll satisfy you. come, let us begin right away."

Estreth Deu was impatient to continue the gamble with Alan.

He wanted to teach Alan a lesson. He wanted to obtain revenge against him. He wanted to vent his anger, his resentment.

The only thing he could do at that moment was continue the gamble against Alan.

He was determined to make Alan lose all of his fortune.

After the agreement was reached, Estreth Deu was the first to choose the spirit Stone ores starting from the first floor.

Unlike the previous time, Estreth Deu's behavior was completely different. He calmly chose ore without hesitation.

As for Alan, he was keenly observing all the ores in first floor. As he felt an unusual amount of energy from an ore but it was different from the others as he wasn't able to gauge it's energy accurately even though he had gradually grasped the trick to assess the energy levels using his Gluttony.

He decided to take a gamble, after he saw Estreth Deu's unusual behavior. Being an assassin in his previous life, he could detect confidence in Estreth Deu's eyes which wasn't present previously while they were gambling.

When both of them had chosen their respective ores instead of opening them they moved to second floor to continue the selection of the remaining ores.

"Brother Shura, you've actually taken so long to make your selection this time around. It would appear that you are determined to win against me. But this time it's my Estreth Deu's turn to shine," Estreth Deu was clearly looking down on Alan, and made cutting remarks against him.

He was deliberately raising Alan's worth so that he would lose in an even more unsightly manner afterwards.

That said, Alan merely smiled at Estreth Deu's cutting remarks. He did not bother paying attention to him. Instead he said to Xiao Feifei " shall we go to third floor now""Hmmm" smiling sweetly she nodded her head.

Time went on and finally both of them had chosen three spirit stone ores and passed them to the elders to cut open.

The two elders began to cut open Estreth Deu's and Song Alan's spirit stone ores respectively.

At that moment, the eyes of everyone present were shining particularly brightly.

At that moment, there was actually no sound besides the sound of the two elders raising their blades and cutting the Stones.

No, there was still a sound. It was the sound of heartbeats. Many people's heartbeats had accelerated as they continued to watch.

It was an understandable bodily reaction. After all, this was not an ordinary gamble. Instead, it was an enormous gamble with two thousand gold coins at stake.

That said, while the surrounding crowd had become extremely tense, Estreth Deu remained completely calm and collected. He was practically certain that Alan would end up losing, because he had chosen an ore in third floor which was appraised by his master few days ago and found out to be a peak unranked spirit stone .

And the other reason was because,one of Alan's ore didnt show any signs of spirit stone from it's appearance.He was able to tell that even if Alan's ore did contain a spirit stone, it would not be of good quality. It would be impossible for Alan to defeat him.

Two ores were already cut open but Alan's ore had spirit stone of higher quality in both cases but when the third stone was cut open.

Everyone had lost their composure. They were gobsmacked.

"This?"

However, as the two respective Black Stones were cut open more and more, Estreth Deu's expression changed. He, who had previously held a look of extreme contempt on his face, was no longer able to remain calm and collected.

It was not only him who was no longer calm. Many of the people present were no longer capable of keeping their calm.

The reason for that was because a spirit stone soon appeared from Alan's Black Stone.

It was of tier 1 unlike the other stones.

Even though Estreth Deu's spirit stone ore also managed to produce a spirit stone of peak unranked tier, the final result ended up with Alan winning.
