The more bets Arran won the more the dealer and the rest of the players knew that something was very wrong and just as the dealer was about to call foul Arran suddenly stood up.
Stretching his body, Arran said, "Well that was a very good game. It would seem that my luck is very good today, but seeing as I have had a little too much fun and I am already running late for an appointment I guess this is where the fun is going to end."
Saying so Arran turned to Fizz and asked, "Hey Fizz where do I go to if I want to cash out on these plates?"
In Arran's hands were small square chips that had some clear markings drawn on them. These chips were called plates and they were what all the gambling dens used when betting. Earlier Fizz had helped Arran to exchange some of his money into these plates when he had expressed interest in gambling.
Just as Arran was making his way to Fizz and was preparing to leave the den, the dealer who had been dealing for Arran suddenly
When the people in the den heard the owner of this voice say these words, they all had different reactions.The people who were here just to watch the show and generally had nothing to do were all wondering who the owner of the voice was to be able to say such words. They wanted to know which side he was on and what his addition would do the whole situation.On the other hand, Arran was very happy that somebody had taken the time to step up and interfere not because he had been afraid, nor was it because he knew the person whom the voice belonged to. no, it was simply because, from the tone in which the person had spoken along with the reactions of the dealer and his goons, Arran could already guess that whoever had spoken was someone of authority in this den.If that was the case then Arran welcomed their presence wholeheartedly.As for the dealer, he for sure knew the person to whom the voice belonged, and for that reason, he knew that he was screwed.
Arran looked at boss Danzo and there was respect in his eyes as he did so.Arran respected boss Danzo for being able to overlook small profits for bigger gains. If boss Danzo had been like Philip the dealer and had only focused on recovering the loss that the gambling house had incurred he would not have been worthy of being the boss in charge of the whole group of gambling houses.But boss Danzo did not do this and was instead focused on getting the method that Arran had used to cheat in the first place proving that he was really worthy of being called the boss.Arran had to say that if this was a normal case he would have been tempted into entering some form of partnership with boss Danzo so as to get a share of the profits that would be derived from using his method.If his method was one that was easily replicated Arran had no qualms about selling it to boss Danzo for a reasonable price but sadly his method was one that was unique only to himself due
The lofty status of boss Danzo that usually gave him a high and mighty image was completely destroyed right now as he crawled on the ground while spewing large mouthfuls of blood as he stared lifelessly at the girl in front of him.Nobody knew why the mere sight of this girl would set off boss Danzo like it just did nor did they know what lesson she was talking about but for the goons who had already surrounded this girl, they knew that this was a chance to impress boss Danzo.It did not cross their minds that someone who was able to send boss Danzo who was an expert in his own right flying across the room would be a very tough opponent to deal with but even if they did they dismissed that fact by calling it a sneak attack on boss Danzo when he was least prepared.With superior numbers to buff up their confidence the goons immediately started cursing in a fierce and threatening manner."Who is this little shit that appeared out of nowhere? How are you spe
After hearing Shandra's declaration, the way everybody looked at Arran changed.Looking at Arran what was initially the image of a weak Aeth seemingly without any powerful background and was easily bullied immediately turned into a person of formidably status who due to unusual circumstances appeared weak but might not really be so.Everybody's reactions were different.Fizz was wondering what sort of luck he had to actually run into a bigshot out of the blue even leading him around the underground market.Remembering how clueless Arran had always seemed... like it was the first time he was ever stepping out of his home... Fizz cursed furiously under his breath. He was feeling cheated since he thought that Arran had always been fooling around with him and was actually laughing behind his back.Thinking back to Arran's display of confidence even when faced with such a troublesome situation Fizz realized that this level of confidence could never have
At the rendevous point.The rest of the group were already present at the agreed-upon place with Wesley and Karl carry a few bags of supplies.Right now they were just waiting for Arran and Shandra to show up as they were already fifteen minutes late.For this reason, Charmy was pacing up and down while muttering under her breath.'They're late, they're late!''I can understand why Arran would be late after all he is not really familiar with the town, but that slut Shandra has no excuse.''I know I should not have left Arran to roam around alone as I'm sure Shandra went to look for him behind my back so she could spend time with him when I am not around and now because of her Arran is running late'Charmy's muttering could be considered low and inaudible but with the sharp senses of Eris and the boys gathered here, they were able to make out all that she said.Personally, Eris was really pissed off with Charmy pacing up and dow
It took a while as well as some effort from Arran before Charmy could be made to calm down and focus on the assessment that was at hand.The likes of Shandra, Karl, and Wesley could not understand why Charmy would get so worked up over such a trivial matter that had already been dealt with but Eris and Arran knew the reason for such attitude from Charmy.In a nutshell, Charmy was just being extremely willful and could not tolerate others touching the things that she considered to be hers.In other words, she was just extremely spoiled!Now that Charmy's temper had been brought down to cool and Shandra and Arran were finally present, the group could now focus on the assessment at hand.Eris who was the group leader massaged her temple as she said to Karl and Wesley, "So did the two of you get the things that we would need for this assessment."Yes we did," replied the two boys.Dropping the large sack that hanging off of Karl's back, h
The group of six made their way west of the dire beast forest to the plains that spanned a few thousand kilometers and bordered the dire beast forest to the east and opened up to the barren snow-filled mountains ahead.Along the way, the group came across other foraging beasts.From the mild and docile grass eaters to the fierce and imposing hunters of the wild, there were a vast variety of dire beasts to be seen in the wild plains.Most of these dire beasts that could be found in the periphery of the plains were generally weak and could at most equal a seeker in strength.For Arran, these were the most perfect opponents for him to train his combat instincts against.Because these dire beasts were too weak to be of any use in training themselves with, the others in the group did not lift a hand when they came across any dire beast and let Arran handle all of them. It did not matter if Arran took a lot of time when it came to defeating these beasts,
Bighorn rams were rated as class three dire beasts in strength individually but don't let that fool you. Because bighorn rams were always gathered in herds of more than a hundred dire beasts, their collective strength was equal to that of class four dire beasts.If there should be a golden fleece bighorn ram in a herd then the combat strength of the whole herd would equal that of class five dire beast almost reaching class six in strength.This was solely due to the importance of a golden fleece bighorn ram to the herd.In a herd of bighorn rams, a golden fleece bighorn rams status was the equivalent of a king's status to his army.The patterns that were drawn on the golden fur of the golden fleece bighorn ram served as a kind of energy circuit that enabled essence energy to move around its body. This essence energy served as a kind of innate buff that increased the strength of the golden fleece bighorn rams defense.On its own, the golden fleece b
