Chapter 709: Chapter 286 Gambler God, Gambling Saint, Gambling Freak_2

Having finished speaking, she huffed coldly and turned her head to look at Austin, pouring her fury onto the Dark Knight.

Crash! Bang! Clatter!

Today’s sparring session ended half an hour earlier than the first day. Austin lay on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for a long time before he got used to the pain in his body.

He leaned on Twilight Deadlock to slowly stand up, politely thanked everyone, and silently left the scene.

Megan’s mind wasn’t on the card table. Seeing that today’s practice had ended, she decisively dropped her hand of cards, stepped forward, and helped Austin up.

The two of them leaned on each other as they walked away, a scene that was enough to give Hefei a headache.

Wayne couldn’t help but feel disappointed as he put down his cards and said to Saina, "What a pity, I was having such a lucky streak today, and just when I was getting into it, it’s over. Not to brag, but with the luck I had today, even the Gambler God would go bust."

"Kid, you’re pretty arrogant!"

Dreyne marched angrily toward the card table and saw a thick stack of chips piled up in front of Wayne, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

Looks impressive!

But the opponents were too weak; there’s no glory in bullying the weak, though she could do it too.

"Lord Dreyne, I’m very sorry for the disturbance just now. We’ll be leaving right away," said Wayne as he gathered his chips, looking ready to hurry off.

Dreyne opened her mouth, a craving for cards triggering her desire to ask Wayne to play a couple of rounds with her.

But the pride of a knight stopped her from speaking out, so she could only glower to show her discontent and struck a pose that screamed ’get out of here.’

At that moment, the high-EQ Saina tugged at Wayne’s sleeve: "You said you were lucky today and not even the Gambler God could win against you. Why not invite Lord Dreyne to play a couple of rounds? I’ve heard from the elves at the camp that Lord Dreyne is very skilled at cards."

Not bad, quite perceptive. No wonder you became the Divine Oracle High Priest!

Dreyne snorted coldly, without giving a response, waiting for Wayne to invite her of his own accord.

"That’s not good, is it? We have already disturbed the Knight Lord for a long time, and she has to guard the seal, a task of great magnitude. She can’t possibly have the time to play cards with us," Wayne muttered to Saina, then with a sheepish grin and scratching his head, he said, "Lord Dreyne, I’m really sorry, she didn’t mean any offense. You know how it is with Dragon Bloods; they say whatever comes to mind."

"Idiot, Lord Dreyne is skilled at cards; it’s a rare opportunity, and you should let her give you some advice," Saina insisted, making urgent eye contact with Wayne.

After a few exchanges of looks, Wayne went from confused to a sudden realization, and tentatively said, "Lord Dreyne, how about you join us for a couple of rounds?"

"Heh, you’ve got guts, young man. Since you’ve invited me sincerely, I begrudgingly agree to give you a few pointers."

With Wayne’s earnest invitation, Dreyne slowly took her seat and said, "You’re Mula’s heir, the future Naturalist Knight. For Mula’s sake, I won’t hold today’s disruption against you. But remember, not to repeat it."

"You are truly too kind."

Wayne nodded continuously, as he took a seat and began distributing chips. While shuffling cards, he curiously asked, "The seal needs your personal oversight; are you sure it’s okay to humor me like this?"

"No problem, as long as I’m sitting right here," Dreyne said with a wave of her hand, indicating that Wayne should pick up the pace. It had been so long since she last played that she was nearly drooling for it.

She almost wanted to gobble up the chips on the spot!

Assured there was no issue, Wayne then started the game. Dreyne, parched for a win, lost five hands in a row, joyously at first.

Her face turned green with every loss.

"Impossible, it shouldn’t be like this..." Dreyne muttered to herself and insisted on shuffling the cards herself. But still, with no cheating involved, Wayne got every card he needed; he was so lucky he had no friends.

Not just friendless—this kind of luck would make people call you an orphan wherever you go!

"Damn it, it’s unreasonable to lose every hand; are you cheating?" Dreyne, repeatedly defeated and increasingly frustrated, concluded that if she hadn’t cheated, then Wayne must have.

As a Moonlight Knight, Dreyne had some integrity. Faced with a fellow knight like Wayne, she was eager to turn the tables and win big, yet she never resorted to cheating.

If it were her peers, Mula or Leo, she would’ve just sneered and thought ’every man for himself.’

"Lord Dreyne, I really am just lucky today. It can’t be helped..."

Moments later, Wayne’s side was filled with chips, and as he faced Dreyne’s round and glaring eyes, he quickly held down the table.

"Why are you holding down the table? Do you think I can’t accept a loss?"

Dreyne, furious, flipped the table on the spot.

Amidst the flurry of flying chips, she saw Wayne and Saina’s bewildered faces and, annoyed at her own impulsiveness, angrily corrected, "I flipped the table because you two doubted my integrity, not because I can’t handle a loss."

Sure, it’s your turf; you make the rules.

Wayne nodded repeatedly, tidied up the table, and was about to leave: "Lord Dreyne, it’s getting late, and we’re out of chips. Let’s call it even for today. Another day, we must settle the score."

"Today!"

Dreyne slammed her hand on the table, seeming like a gambler with red eyes: "There was no draw just now; it was you winning all the time. A win is a win, a loss is a loss. There’s no need to spare my feelings. I’ll win it back myself."

"Er, continue?" Wayne blinked.

"Keep going then, it was your idea, not mine," Dreyne pressed, holding down the table before adding, "The earlier rounds don’t count, there were too few people, and that’s why the good cards were always with you."

"Got it, I’ll call two more girls over to ensure your satisfaction," Wayne complied.

With a quick scene change, Veronica and Hefei were added to the card table.

Their arrival didn’t salvage Dreyne’s terrible luck; on the contrary, it allowed her to lose even more miserably.
