"So who is this Earthlings that you fear so much?", I asked.
"This girl name is Elizabeth Lin, she's an outsider like you, but she arrived here 1 year ago. After 3 month she has won numerous gamble matches and earned herself the title of Princess Of Gambling. Her ways of betting are either childish or super cruel. Sometimes she would make the loser be her horse and let her ride on their back for a couple days or forbidding them to go up ranks unless they can or find someone who can beat her in a match. An even more humiliating thing is that she's only 17 years old.", John said in embarrassment.
"Hey, I beat you and I'm only 20 this year.", I interrupted.
"You're an adult and she's a teenager. Losing to a young adult is not as humiliating as losing to a teenager.", He replied.
We are only 3 years apart. What's the difference?
"So I'm guessing that you belong to those who lost the bet that does not allow you to Rank up unless you or someone you find can beat her?" I asked.
"Oh no, it's worse than you think. Even though I have back problems, I had to be her horse for 3 months straight even and must also find her a suitable opponent that can beat her. I believe that person is you.", John replied.
"John, how old were you when you lost the bet?", I asked.
"I was around 70 years old at that time.", John replied.
Wow. Making a 70 years old person with back problems be your horse for 3 months is kind of cruel. But hey a bet is a bet.
"Does she often talk to herself or laugh out of nowhere?", I continued.
"Now that you mention it, she does talk to herself sometime and can pull out objects out of thin air. Similar to you.", He replied.
As I suspected. This girl might also be a system holder.
Hey system, do you have any siblings or alternative copies of yourself in this world?
*No. I'm the only one of my kind, but there was another system created at the same time as me. I think it is called the Goddess Of Gambling system*
Since she is also a system holder, beating her will be more challenging than anyone I've gamble with before.
I better study her more before making a move.
"Do you know any place I can gather or buy informations from?", I asked.
Without hesitation, John immediately answered
"Guild Of Silent Wolves."
"Silent wolves huh. Can I trust that their informations is accurate?"
"Not only that their informations are accurate, they also have assassins that can kill anyone without leaving any trace behind!"
A group of highly trained assassins sounds like someone who you can trust when it comes to things that you don't want to attract attention.
"Sounds amusing, how do I find them? I want to talk to their leader."
John gave me a smile and point at himself.
"I'm the founder and guild master of that guild"
Looks like I've managed to recruit someone who can bring immense benefits.
"In that case, gather as many informations on that girl as soon as possible. Also sent one hundred assassins to protect Maple Wood Inn. The people in that place are important to me."
"Understood. I'll let them know right away."
Now how long has it been since I've seen her...it's time to go back.
I walk outside and a sport car and a lady dressed in a suit was waiting for me outside.
"Master John has ordered me to drive you back home. Please seat yourself and help yourself to any foods and drinks in the car."
Wow, private ride in a sport car. It must be great to be rich and admired by people.
*The owner can also have this status if he become one of the Royal.*
With my current abilities, I don't think I'm ready to face the King yet.
*Secret Mission unlocked! Within one month, defeat the King and steal his title. Rewards: S Rank Black Card King Version, Hands Of Overlord, and Gravity-kenisis. Punishment: Death!*
One month? You sure are evil, system, but in this case...I can definitely take down anyone if I gain some more abilities that focus on distracting my opponent and manipulating their mind.
*Warning! Warning! Warning! The system has detected a threat with a monster level threat at Maple Wood Inn!*
System, tell me what the hell is happening at the Inn right now!
*It's seems like a group of A rankers is trying to tear down the Inn because they can't find you!*
A rankers? I haven't done anything to anyone yet! Why the hell are they looking for me!? It doesn't matter now. Those who dare hurt the one I that I'm in debt too will have a very deadly ending to their story.
"We've have arrived at the Inn, but it seems like they are in trouble."
"Not 'seems' like. They ARE in trouble."
Damn it, where are those assassins that John sent!
I rush inside and what I see was a scene that you could only see in one of those murder movies. Multiple bodies of people dressed in black were on the ground. From how they look, this must be the group of assassins that John sent. This isn't just a break in.This is a massacre!
I look up and saw twenty men sitting on the tables with a crooked smile.
"Did you do this!?"
The tallest one, who was standing on the table, jump down and walk in front of me.
"We were waiting for you, but then we got bored so we decides to play a little game with your friends here. For every hour you are not here, we 'play' with one of your friends."
Playing? Games? You bastards hurt almost half of the inn's staff!
"Why are you looking for me?"
The big fat man gets up from the body, which he were sitting on, walk place his hand on my head.
"We are looking for you because we've heard rumors about you beating up our friends yet took down an org all by yourself. Isn't that right Mr. Lucas Wang or should I say...Magician Of Gambling."
I glared at him.
"How do you know that name?"
