Chapter 151 – Assassination Family Raven 2 (10)

After completely weakening my presence using a spirit fight, I headed toward the northeastern slums where I had visited Princess Rosette and her entrance during the day.

I arrived at the place quickly and the street was dark as there were no proper streetlights.

The lamppost exists, but seeing that the light is not visible, it seems that the magic tool that produces the light was removed and sold.

So the lord would not have restored it.

I slowly walked into the alley.

There were people sitting on the side of the road dazed, and there were also people staggering around as if they were drunk.

What kind of life does Bergen and his gang his, who rule this place where only people who could be called outcasts gather, live?

I spread presence detection to an appropriate range and headed deeper.

Screaming and fighting sounds were heard from inside the building, which was shabby and had a dirty exterior, unlike the building outside.

The door burst open, and a man covered in blood tried to crawl out, but his legs were grabbed from inside, and he was dragged back inside.

‘Can security be this bad just because the area is different?’

What clearly distinguishes Spada from the northeastern slums are the guards.

There were guards patrolling the inner market and stores inside Spada, so I never once thought about the lack of security while walking around today.

However, in the slum northeast of Spada, the guards were standing guard rather than patrolling, and it seemed like they were probably trying to stop people coming out.

According to the information I heard from Ada earlier, people in the slums also roam outside, so it won’t be completely blocked.

Are they trying to prevent so many people from coming out at once to cause a commotion at Spada?

As I walked a little further along the road in the northeastern slum that I still couldn’t understand, I felt that the building was cleaner than the outskirts.

The streetlights are functioning properly, emitting light to brighten up the dark night, and a lively atmosphere is starting to emerge.

If you were walking down a dead street just now, here it feels like the street has come back to life.

I still saw people who seemed to be drunk, but I could hardly see anyone sitting helplessly like a homeless person.

Since I arrived in a place where the atmosphere has changed, should I try using the presence detection boost?

Even if the devil came out, I thought it would be worth fighting since it was night.

Skill Link-Boost

Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功). Presence detection.

Presence Detection Boost

I tried using it inside the slum rather than outside, but the wave that even reads the heat could not spread that far and disappeared.

And this time, the place where the wave first broke was downward.

After confirming that there was something underground, I decided to leave immediately.

I keep using the presence detection boost and the wavelength is cut off repeatedly, but if the target I destroyed is a living creature, it can find me and move.

Let’s go to the most crowded place in the quarantine zone.

The place with the most people, both by sight and by sense of presence, was the gambling house.

Playing card games, throwing dice, and spinning roulette can be seen from a little distance away.

‘I think it would be more noticeable if you used Youngtu and entered there.’

I went into an appropriate alley, untied my spirit, and entered the gambling house.

The first thing I felt was the strong smell of perfume. There were quite a few women wearing revealing clothes, and it seemed like they were spraying strong perfume on their bodies.

There were quite a few people who behaved like beggars, but the smell of perfume was strong enough to cover up the smell.

‘The perfume that Lord Gwen used smelled nice, but this is a little too much.’

It seems like she uses a strong perfume not to hide her own body odor, but to cover up the smell of those people as well.

And like most casinos I know, it seemed like they were using silver as stake to see if they exchanged it for chips and then took a commission while exchanging it again.

I have no intention of making money by playing games anyway.

I was slowly looking around the gambling hall, and it seemed like a pretty big game was going on in one corner, so naturally I headed there.

“Hey, it’s the gold version again!”

“As expected, this is what happens when Brother Burgun gets involved?”

The version where the stake exceeds 100 silver seemed to be called the gold version here.

There were a few cards face down on the table, and there was quite a lot of silver on it, as it was called a gold plate.

There were three people playing games at that table, and one of them was smoking a cigarette, holding two women at his sides and massaging their breasts with both hands.

And the other one was holding a woman, but he was not touching her more actively than the man with two women, and was putting his hand on her buttocks.

And the last man was flanked by two strong-looking men who did not seem to be from this northeastern slum.

Do you feel like you came with an escort to have fun at the gambling house?

The man with the guard pushed in two 10 silver pieces.

“20 more silver.”

“Call. That’s enough to make me lose.”

“Get 20 silver and get 20 more silver. My hand is a little expensive.”

A man with one woman and a man with two women spoke in turn.

“Cole. What kind of card are you hiding like that?”

“I’m calling too. If I lose this, I guess I’ll have to go home?”

Just by what I saw, the stake increased to 1 gold and 20 silver in an instant.

“Pretty ones, do you want to take a peek?”

“Bergun too.”

“Yes♡”

‘That guy is Burgun.’

A man with very short red hair, his body was thick enough to be called the leader of the back alley, and he seemed to have some mana.

As Burgun kneaded the two women’s breasts like rice cakes, the two women laughed and opened the two cards that Burgun had turned over.

Straight with different shapes but consecutive numbers.

“Holy shit. I thought it was a bluff this time!”

A man with a woman turned his hand-over. Two pair.

“Ahahaha. I’m straight too, but the number is higher!”

The man with his mercenaries showed his cards and won the game.

“Ha. I messed up. Furthermore, I guess you are the goddesses of luck!”

Burgun slapped the buttocks of the women he was holding in his arms, and they disappeared one by one, holding the silver.

“One more round?”

Bergen said to the man accompanying the mercenaries.

“That’s it. These guys’ night allowance is expensive, so I have to go back.”

“Tsk. Be careful walking at night.”

“Of course. Haha.”

The man who had swept the silver from the table stood up, and the two mercenaries followed behind the man and glanced at the surrounding audience.

“So, is there anyone else who wants to hang out with me? I’m in a good mood today.”

Bergen, who was left alone at the table, looked at the crowd and spoke, but no one came forward.

When people started to disperse, Bergen stood up.

“I guess this is the end for today. Let’s go.”

“Yes, brother.”

Then, the people inside the gambling hall started running towards the entrance like crazy.

“Damn it, I lost my money and the game is over!”

“Turn over the board!”

The table where the game was played also cleaned up the board and began to leave the gambling room.

“Don’t run there. If you fall, it’s your loss.”

In an instant, people flocked to the entrance and exit of the gambling house, but at the exit, there were already people who looked like Burgun’s subordinates.

“My brother lost money today, so I need to charge a small fee for using the gambling establishment. Pay the appropriate amount and go.”

“Damn it! I should have just jumped out when it got big!”

“Well, let’s just play games and do something crazy.”

“Let’s roll the dice.”

The table, who knew something like this would happen, sat down and continued the game.

People who were trying to save money and run away were caught between Burgun’s subordinates and were leaving, crying and handing over money to his subordinates to eat mustard.

I found out that this gambling place receives money when it feels like it in this way even without charging a currency exchange fee.

“What? You lost everything? Shouldn’t you have saved the usage fee!”

Pow!

People who lost all their money and couldn’t pay the gambling fee were beaten up without being able to resist.

When the beaten man collapsed and was unable to breathe, his subordinates roughly threw him out of the gambling house.

The women who had been flipping cards by Burgun’s side also left after receiving 1 silver and a bit of sexual harassment, and after a while, the only people left in the gambling hall were those who gambled despite this happening.

“Isn’t he going out there? Maybe he’s playing a game.”

Seeing that I wasn’t gambling or leaving the gambling house, a guy who looked like Burgun’s subordinate came up to me and said.

“I only have 2 silver.”

“Kick. Okay. If you defeat me, I’ll give you 2 silver. How about that?”

Burgun’s man took two silver pieces out of his pocket, placed them in his palms, and clenched his fists.

What? Are you a person who likes to donate?

When we were about to deal with him with a martial arts weapon, Bergen, who was watching us, came over and hit his subordinate on the back of the head.

Puck!

“Ahh!? Brother!”

“Tsk. Is this an arena? I have to make money through gambling.”

When he said that, he seemed to have forgotten that he had just extorted money from the people at the gambling establishment.

“Brother! Isn’t this also a gamble? Don’t you know whether I’m stronger or weaker than that guy?”

Bergen glanced at me and said.

“If I had just started, I would have hit you once and paid you back 2 silver. You should pay me back, you idiot.”

“Is that so?”

“Okay. Give it to me.”

When Burgun held out his palm, his subordinate gave him 2 silver and touched the back of his head, moving away a little.

“So who are you? This is the first time I’ve seen a strong man like you in Spada?”

“I guess it was the woman I was looking for? I came to see her face.”

“Brother Burgun, aren’t you just crazy? What kind of woman are you looking for here?”

The subordinate who was touching the back of his head heard what I was saying and became sarcastic.

But Bergen’s face as I looked at him immediately froze.

“I don’t know where you found this out, but if you don’t want to die by my hands, get out of there.”

“I understand. If you need help, how about praying at the Heavenly God’s temple?”

“This is damning. What kind of temple are you praying to?”

Pow!

“Ahh!”

I slowly left the gambling house, ignoring the two people doing funny things behind me.

Since I didn’t have the money to pay back to Burgun’s subordinates, I didn’t think much of it as the people who had been beaten were lying all over the place.

‘First, I have to go to the Temple of the Heavenly God and give them a word.’

I escaped from the slums and headed to the Temple of the Heavenly God in the center.

But I think I’m forgetting something? It didn’t come to mind because it was a delicate situation with an assimilation rate of 55%.
