Chereads / She is Shadow / Chapter 5 - 5. Gambling

Chapter 5 - 5. Gambling

Currently, nothing much is happening. Shadow just talks with Lucas while looking at the billiard players in front of them and observing her target.

"Honey, that's the person who said that I'm a whore and that I have an ugly face." Someone whined with a spoiled face. Shadow recognizes that voice and looks sharply at her.

Seeing that the woman was hiding behind the man made her look at her coldly.

"Calm down. Let me take care of it for you." The man said, walking closer to Shadow.

His eyes widen when he sees Shadow. He feels enticed by Shadow's face and body curves, but his guts go away immediately when he sees Lucas.

Even so, he still feels curious about Shadow's body. That makes him dare to challenge Lucas. Seeing that his eyes are focused on Shadow, the woman hits her lover softly.

"What are you looking at?" She asked, upset, making the man panic a bit.

"N-nothing, I'll make her pay for what she did to you," the man exclaimed. "And I'll also have her body too." He said in his heart with a naughty look, making Shadow want to beat him up.

"Wanna play?" He offered, making Shadow look at Lucas. She thought for a moment and agreed to the offer.

But it won't be fun without a bet. He said, exploring Shadow's curves, causing Lucas to block his gaze.

"What's the bet?" Lucas asks coldly. He doesn't like that the woman with him is being stared at by a naughty man like that.

"Hhmm... Why doesn't the person who loses take off his or her clothes one by one? "

As a man, he must protect the woman he is with. Lucas clenched his fist tightly. How could he accept such an offer? Full of anger, he almost punched the man's face, but was quickly stopped by Shadow. Just like Lucas, she even wants to get her gun and shoot the man's head, but she is in the middle of a mission.

"I accept," Shadow said, making Lucas's eyes widen widely.

The man who proposed the challenge looks so happy. He feels delighted because he thinks that he will win. Shadow ties her long silver hair, showing a beautiful neck that will make any man tempted. No fear can be seen on Shadow's face when she starts the game.

Everyone pays attention to Shadow. She looks so calm, as if what is happening isn't a problem.

Click, click, click...

Under the serious watch of a few men, Shadow starts playing. They want her to lose because then they will get a good show for free. But their wish was never granted.One game passed by, won by Shadow. Even after 10 other rounds, Shadow keeps on winning, making them stare in disbelief.

Shadow isn't the one taking her clothes off, but the man who suggested the bet. Now the person is left without a single piece of thread. Unlike him, Lucas has been paying attention to Shadow the whole time. He becomes curious about her.

Shadow looks at the man, then glances at the woman beside him. There is a slightly mocking, triumphant smile on her lips as she looks at the man and woman who challenged her.

"I win," Shadow exclaimed. Do you think that I'm a whore who will give my body to someone like you? She said and left the place.

The man's shadow was just as furious. He can't accept that he just got humiliated in front of so many people.

Shadow just got much more attractive in the man's eyes. The event is not over yet. There are still a few more events. Again, Shadow chooses a quiet place; she doesn't like crowded places. She looks far ahead. Until a man puts on a coat to cover her.

She needs to finish her mission in a few more hours, and so does the man who is accompanying her. Every guest invited has a professional bodyguard beside them. Shadow doesn't want to take the risk of fighting so many bodyguards; she just wants her target, not enemies.

Gambling tables can now be seen, and a few people have started gambling. Shadow just watches them. It would be interesting if she joined, especially because the person who is her target is a pervert.

Lucas's gaze never left Shadow. He becomes curious about Shadow's reason for coming. She never intentionally tries to get people's attention and even prefers to be alone.

Shadow, who feels that the game in front of her is too boring, chooses to join them. Lucas frowns, unable to believe what he is seeing.

A few people underestimated Shadow when she first started playing. But just in an hour, she had already won millions of dollars, making her draw so much attention, including her target's.

Quite a lot of people challenged Shadow to play, but the result remained the same. She wins again and again. Someone even bet on his company. Everyone there is a rich gambler.

After she feels bored, Shadow chooses to stop, but a bullet is suddenly shot at her, making her dodge. Consequently, the bullet hit the person behind Shadow. As a result, the ones supporting Shadow got angry.

"Who did that?" Someone said angrily, after seeing that his brother was dead because he got shot in the head.

Shadow shakes her head. "Not me, but for him." shadow points at her target.

The person couldn't control his emotions when seeing the killer, but someone calmed him down.

"Huh! Do you think that you can get out of here? No way!I won't let you get out! " The man said, "threatening."

Shadow chuckled. "This doesn't make sense. I didn't do anything wrong. I only own a few games. " She said,

"That is why you can't leave."

"How funny. You don't have the right to stop me," Shadow said again.

Lucas saw Shadow, who is so brave she is even a woman. How can a woman have so much courage? It makes a question pop in his mind: is the woman in front of him an experienced gambler?

"This isn't fair. You all want to attack me because I don't have anyone else and I am a woman." Shadow protests, trying to light a cigarette.

For a moment, Shadow pays attention to the many people that are looking sharply at her. "Dang, it seems that I showed off too much." She regretted it while forcing a smile. "Welp, I've got another choice. It's time to operate on plan B." She said this while taking a weapon under the table and shooting a few bodyguards randomly.

Bang, bang, bang...
