DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 146: This Casino is Mine Now

Anger made Cervantes burn with rage, but having faced all sorts of situations for many years, he understood that he had to remain calm now.

Any successful person has abundant energy.

And, when facing various major decisions and adversities, they never run away.

In the face of a major challenge, a person like Cervantes would only feel excitement.

Devour a guy like Bell, then enslave him for life.

Use Bell's strong luck to let him win astonishing gambling games!

The current Liam was, after all, a newcomer. No matter how strong, he was only one person. He didn't believe that a guy like Liam could single-handedly take on all the armed forces of the entire casino.

And in this Grand Casino, the Adventurer's Guild simply couldn't intervene.

Plus, Cervantes had a large number of heavily paid "Fausts."

That was a scale and power that even Ryuu Lion would find troublesome. There was even more than one Lv4 adventurer.

With just this small team of four, they wanted to rescue someone from his hands?

They're thinking too much!

Like the fools who had resisted him until now, he would crush these four guys, including Liam, under his feet.

Unconsciously, a full three people on Cervantes's side had already been eliminated.

The gambling game, which originally had a full twelve players, now only had nine left.

Although Cervantes's side still had a numerical advantage, the total amount of their chips was already far less than Liam's group.

How exaggerated. Liam was filled with emotion in his heart.

Bell had only gotten a little serious, and three gamblers were eliminated one after another.

Did that mean ordinary people simply didn't have a luck stat?

Or was it that most of the people in this casino, because of the various things they had experienced or the various wicked things they had done, had caused their own luck value to decrease?

And so, Bell, who possessed the development ability (Luck-F), was directly slaughtering everyone here.

A person with zero luck, or i0 luck, facing a person with F-rank luck, which was four, would be completely crushed without any surprise.

Cold sweat kept breaking out on Cervantes's forehead. He had directly made a high-stakes gamble with Liam.

If he won, then he would get the freedom and even the lives of Liam's group of four.

But if he lost, then the entire casino would have to be handed over.

Although he wouldn't lose, and even if he did, he would use violence to renege and kill Liam and the others here.

But if he did that, the reputation and word-of-mouth of the entire casino would really plummet.

So, violence could only be used as a last resort.

Cervantes glanced at his hand. It was actually three Kings! This was a three-of-a-kind, a ridiculously high-ranking three-of-a-kind!

Two Kings of Diamonds, one King of Clubs. The only thing that could beat him was practically three Aces.

According to his memory, he had already seen three Kings in this round. One of them was even Liam's King of Clubs.

In this entire round, it was almost impossible for there to be a hand bigger than his!

Because no one's face-up card was an Ace!

This round would be the beginning of his comeback!

Begin, sing the battle song~!

In the end, the smile of the goddess of victory was still leaning towards him.

Cervantes looked at Liam with a cold smile. He knew it was very difficult to win against Bell.

Since that was the case, then he would pick on the softest persimmon first.

He wanted to directly challenge Liam to a duel!

"Liam, I'm calling you out! I'm betting all my chips!"

In the "Compare the Size" game here, if one were to call someone out individually, both sides could just look at each other's cards and then only collect the stakes bet by the loser.

And, after winning the stakes in a call-out, one could also choose to quit while ahead, thus avoiding having all their called bets taken away by the final winner.

Liam was obviously stunned, his expression a little flustered.

Then he gritted his teeth and looked at Cervantes with a somewhat angry tone. "Are you sure you want to call me out? You bastard!"

"Don't be angry, Mr. Liam. Gambling is inherently about winning and losing. This time, let's see which of us can have the last laugh."

Liam snorted coldly, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Fine, then I'll call you out too. I'm betting all my chips."

After Liam finished speaking, he also directly pushed all his chips into the central area.

Cervantes laughed heartily, "Then let's show our hands. Three of a kind! Three Kings!"

The nervousness and apprehension on Liam's face disappeared, as if they had never existed.

"What a coincidence, I also have three of a kind, three Kings! But mine are two Kings of Spades and one King of Clubs!"

Compared to Cervantes's two Kings of Diamonds and one King of Clubs, it was undoubtedly Liam's victory.

Cervantes turned around, "Faust!"

It was too ridiculous. The key was that the Faust behind him actually hadn't found any trace of cheating either.

Then that meant that Liam had actually gotten a three-of-a-kind purely by luck, and it was a three-of-a-kind that was just a little bit bigger than his!

How could this be?

How could there be such a coincidental thing in the world?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, especially when he saw the referee placing all the chips on the table in front of Liam.

Why can't this referee read the room?

The surrounding gamblers looked at this scene in shock. They had thought Liam was just an ordinary gambler.

He was already the most promising new adventurer, who knew he would also be so talented in a casino.

But who knew that the person who ultimately won against Cervantes was actually Liam!

"He is Sword Soul Liam? What strong luck he has. To be able to defeat the operator of the Grand Casino, Mr. Cervantes."

"Yeah, I've never seen such luck in my life. I can only say, as expected of Sword Soul Liam."

"Handsome, powerful potential, astonishing luck. I'm really so envious of Mr. Sword Soul Liam."

The people around couldn't help but praise Liam, but only Liam knew that this time it was purely his good luck.

In the previous few rounds, his hands were not good. It was just that because there was no call-out, Cervantes didn't know what Liam's hole cards were.

Cervantes's face turned very sour. Now the casino had to pay Liam at least three hundred billion Valis.

Not only that, but he, Cervantes, would even lose the entire Golden City Paradise.

How could he possibly accept such a thing?

And so, Cervantes looked at Liam with a smile. "Mr. Sword Soul Liam, you see you've already won three hundred billion Valis. Shall we just leave it at that? How about this, I'll give you Anna as well?"

Liam shook his head, "There's no room for negotiation. My goal is the entire Grand Casino, and to restore the freedom of all the girls in this casino!"

Apart from the gamblers, these female attendants, these gentle and beautiful young women all looked at Liam with incredulous expressions.

Previously, Liam had only said he would take over the entire casino. And now, he actually wanted to give these girls their freedom?

So exaggerated!

Whether it was true or not, just daring to say it was enough to shake one's soul.

"Am I not being clear enough? Now, I want all the girls in this casino to be free! I want to completely take over the entire Golden City Paradise!"

"Don't push your luck!"

Cervantes's face was full of anger. He couldn't tolerate Liam's actions.

The operator of this casino could be Liam, but the actual controller had to be him.

That is to say, Liam could be the nominal manager, the kind with command authority but no financial or personnel authority.

This was already the biggest concession Cervantes could think of. But what had Liam just said?

This guy actually wanted all the girls here to be free?

A place like a casino, it was very difficult to attract the girls he had here even with a lot of money.

Golden City Paradise could be said to be the number one casino in the world.

Why?

Naturally, because the beauties in his Golden City Paradise were more beautiful than the girls in all other casinos!

Or rather, they had a greater attraction to men!

Unlike the beauties hired at high salaries in legitimate casinos.

The beauties here were purely first-hand goods.

They were complete commodities, a new world that had never been developed!

That kind of pure, inexperienced sweet young girl, the girl-next-door type, the sunny girl, the pitiful type, etc.

This was something that those experienced women, no matter how excellent their acting skills, could never portray.

The casino girls all over the world were good-looking, but the ones here were all forced to come, carefully selected virgins!

And it was precisely this characteristic that allowed his Golden City Paradise to have an exaggerated turnover every day.

"Sword Soul Liam! Do you think you can still get out of here alive by making an enemy of me?"

Liam smiled, "To actually speak to me in such a tone, you seem very confident? Then let me see your trump card?"

"Hmph! The entertainment facility is my home ground. The Adventurer's Guild can't protect you."

Ryuu Lion stood in front of Liam, looking at the other party with a serious expression. "But you're not from the entertainment facility, and there's no one named Tli Cervantes at all. Your name is Tordo."

Cold sweat broke out on Tordo's back. He looked at the other party in shock.

Why? Why does this person know his real name?

In the absence of conclusive evidence, Tordo would absolutely not admit his true identity.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? I will absolutely not let you people who denigrate the casino get out of here alive."

Liam was so angry he laughed. Even when turning hostile, he used another excuse? And then glossed over the promise of the gambling failure by avoiding the main point?

With Tordo's gesture, the surrounding armed personnel immediately approached Liam and the others.

Before these armed personnel were ready to launch an attack, Tordo looked at Ryuu Lion with some concern.

"Who are you?"

Ryuu Lion borrowed Syr's scarf and wrapped it around her face.

"Tordo, don't you remember me?"

Tordo once again recalled the fear of being dominated by sky-blue eyes.

"You're Gale Ryuu?"

Tordo remembered the deeds of Gale Ryuu. That was a person who often wore a mask to hide her face.

Among the second-class adventurers whose true identity was unknown at the time, she was a powerhouse comparable to the Sword Princess...

"You're actually still alive?"

Tordo didn't know what to say.

If it really was Gale Ryuu, it was indeed possible that she knew a lot of his dark secrets.

Ryuu Lion's expression turned sour, "I was sure when I saw you today. Why did I let your evil deeds go?

You knelt and begged for forgiveness, and so Lady Astrea forgave you.

But, you are still doing evil, and even more unforgivably."

Ryuu Lion approached Cervantes, "To believe that an evil person will repent is the greatest foolishness in the world."

It was just that she was quickly blocked by a powerful thug.

Then Liam glanced at Bell, "Bell, protect Syr."

Bell nodded, "I will do my best to protect Syr."

Liam smiled, then slammed a fist on the table.

"BOOM!"

A corner of the gambling table immediately collapsed. Liam picked up a broken table leg, which was a round piece of wood, about the width of four of an adult girl's fingers, and eighty or ninety centimeters long.

"It'll do. Now I'll give you a chance to live. Run away immediately. I'll only count to ten. Time is running out. Ten..."

"Go on! The one who takes down Liam, I'll give him a billion Valis!"

Cervantes couldn't help but take two steps back, putting the crowd in front of him.

The surrounding attendants instantly approached, but Liam passed through the gaps with abnormal ease.

"Three, two... one."

"Time is running out."

Because the strength gap between the two sides was too obvious, Liam just walked calmly, yet no one could get within a meter of him.

In fact, Liam didn't even make a move to attack.

Until the numbers were cleared, still no one could instantly get close to the corner of Liam's clothes.

Syr's gaze was fixed on Liam, "Liam-kun, you can do it!"

Liam accumulated his Selfless Sword Aura into the round wooden stick in his hand. The originally unremarkable wooden stick was immediately filled with a majestic sword aura and sword momentum.

Sword momentum was more like an aura that could deter the people around.

And sword intent was more like the extension of a swordsman's spiritual power. To make an analogy, it was a bit like Conqueror's Haki.

A dazzling sword aura erupted from the wooden stick in Liam's hand. One after another, sharp sword auras instantly cut the surrounding thugs in half at the waist.

"Murder..."

It was unknown which gambler was wailing. Anyway, many unrelated gamblers immediately evacuated the scene and stayed in the corner of the VIP room to watch.

At the beginning, it was just a fight.

So these gamblers didn't carry weapons.

And now Liam had actually taken the initiative to kill first, so things were about to escalate.

"Take out your weapons! Kill Liam!"

The thugs all took out the machetes and daggers hidden in their clothes, and then surrounded Liam's position.

Facing the increased number of people, Liam even felt it was boring.

Compared to the battles in the Dungeon, killing these people was really too boring.

Liam had never even thought of letting these people go. In a place of forced sales, could there be good people?

If there were, then Liam had also just given him ten seconds to escape.

Those who still dared to fight now, he would regard them all as villains.

A moment later, Cervantes's underlings had become a floor of corpses and blood and minced flesh.

And Liam walked over and stepped on Cervantes's foot.

"Golden City Paradise is mine now. Who agrees? Who objects?"
