Hel is staring at the three people sitting in front of her while gnashing her teeth.
The Gambler is sitting opposite to her with Indra on one side and Hou Yi on the other. He placed his hands over their shoulders holding them closely as if they are close friends for years.
"I am not giving the Myriad Curse Guide to you. Particularly, when you are going to give it to Sam. That bastard and me has too much bad blood and if he every becomes a god, then I would be the one that has to face some serious heat. So, get lost."
"Really, Hel? Do you think you would be able to get rid of me with that? A mighty goddess of the underworld is trying to brush this off without taking any responsibility and she is even using the excuse saying that you don’t want to do that because you are afraid of some human who is being played by gods for several decades will come up and kick your ass? Just how shameless are you?" Gambler said from the side.
Hel gritted her teeth and said.
"The Myriad curse guide is an art I created for my followers. Even though it didn’t take much from me, it is a high-level technique that could even work on gods when used properly by a cultivator of a high enough level. I cannot let this go just because of some blunder I did."
"I am not saying you have to let that go. I only need a copy. You can give it to other followers all you want. Nobody is forcefully taking your ownership away from that."
"That is too high of a price for me to pay."
"Then take whatever it is that you want from the remaining two. I only need that book and that is from three of you. So, if you give me the copy the remaining two will be paying the corresponding price. And as for how much, it is for you to decide."
Hel wanted to argue more, but Gambler continued.
"Okay, now. I am not taking no for an answer. If you are not going to give me the book now, then I will start pulling the tricks as well.
You all know what kind of organizations I have under me."
"Well, two of us don’t have players and the remaining one hopes that his player dies a tragic death. What can you do about it?" Indra said with a sneer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe gambler smiled and said.
"Well, what you said is true. But what if I start trouble for the rest of the players and if they come knocking at my door, I will dismiss it with this.
’Since it is okay for you three to pull the stunt, then I thought it was okay for me to do so too.’
I am pretty sure that the rest of the gods would like to pay a visit to you by then. Particularly, Sun Wukong and Kartikeya, are so straightforward and easy to get along with after all. Particularly Kartikeya, right Indra?"
The three gods were immediately dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say. They knew that Gambler would do as he says. There is literally no one he couldn’t offend. He would just go and play around and with Zeus and pull off Odin’s beard at the same time if he wants to do it. He is that crazy.
"Okay, I will give it to you. Damn it, this is second art that bastard Sam is going to get from me."
She spoke as she took out a book and gave it to Gambler.
Gambler browsed through it briefly and said.
"By the way, he doesn’t like being called a bastard. So, you better be careful when he arrives here, after becoming a god. That would just add extra heat to the heat that you would already get."
Hel wanted to curse him, but a spatial tear appeared behind Gambler and he smoothly fell backward into it with a smile on his face while waving the book."
She looked at the two and said with a hint of anger in her tone.
"You two bastards better pay up by tomorrow. I am not as strong as him and I am also not as lenient as him. I will burn palaces to fire if you don’t give me what you owe me by tomorrow."
With that, she left.
Meanwhile.
Sam is really having a great time as he played around with the group of six.
As he played around with them, he thought of new traps. Simply put, they became his test subjects and he doesn’t want to kill and capture them until he tested them all.
This is the last day of the game he is playing as they neared the second hidden location, Sam left the last trap.
Sam left the corpses of the subordinates that are under Leader 1 in the second hidden location after he set up the trap.
When the group came there while following the leads they found themselves in the cave and they saw the corpses of Leader 1, they were stumped. They are more or less familiar with some of the elites working under different branches. So, they didn’t expect the corpses to be here.
The first thought that came to their mind is that these people are involved in the incident and Leader 1 might have been the one leading the whole scenario.
But they instantly brushed off the idea, because no one clever enough to play such a large game would be stupid enough to leave the corpses of their own people here.
They started discussing the possibilities and it didn’t take long before they came to a possibility that this might b some third party’s doing. But as soon as they thought of that, the mountain they are in started collapsing with them in it and they couldn’t do much but follow the rubble to fall down.
When the dust settled they came out of the rubble with the already exhausting bodies only to meet with Sam and the team all ready to deal with them.
And just like that this phase of the plan went smoothly.
Sam and the team went back into the hiding to wait for Leader 3’s next investigation team to show up.
While waiting Sam visited the store to check if the curses are ready and he was delighted when he saw the Myriad curse guide. He was fascinated by just the basics he read on the first page.
He decided to study this while waiting for leader 3 to show up.
Meanwhile somewhere in a nearby realm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA middle-aged man in black robes is sitting on a chair. A table with the legs made of some beast bones and the tabletop with transparent crystals is in front of him on which he is currently looking at the portrait of the branch manager Sam has killed.
This is the leader 3.
At this moment, a young man barged in and said.
"Father, four of the remaining six members in the investigative team are dead. At least, let me go now. I will find out who killed the younger brother."
The middle-aged man didn’t have any reaction. By now he already got used to his subordinates dying and some of the missing.
And every time he looked at the information of the missing people they turned out to be the most skilled of the bunch.
"So, who died this time?"
"The top 2 are alive, the remaining four are done."
"Once again, the most skilled and talented are missing while the rest are dying. If not for the fact some of them are groomed by me since they were infants I would have thought that they are some spies sent by different organizations."
"Father, please let me go. I will definitely avenge brother."
"No, son. You cannot go alone. I will come with you. As much as the strength is your forte, this time most of this happening through schemes. So, you wouldn’t be able to handle the situation and something might happen to you. We will both go with the rest of our elites and see who is daring enough to mess with me."
The son wanted to say something else, but he didn’t and just agreed with his father.
With that, the third branch of the Black curtain moved like never before. All the assassins under them were called in the next three days and they didn’t even bother to hide their movements.
Leader three didn’t even care about guarding his own territories.
But he is not worried about them. Since the other leaders are bound to keep an eye on him, he is sure that they are going to know how angry he is and they would know where to keep their hands.
After the three days, the whole large group went through the realm and came to the city. It almost looked like an invasion.
