I Play Cards in the Kingdom of Duelists with Heroic Spirits

"Aww! It's too strong, Phoenix!"

"We must maintain this momentum tomorrow, and I will bet on you all in the future!"

After the one-night duel, the Phoenix family, which had fully proved its own strength, also showed explosive growth in the popularity of the entire venue.

However, the one who is most excited, of course, is Phoenix himself, Miss Clara.Clara now feels like she is in a dream.

Akasha, who exchanged glances with Hoshino, looked up at Clara with a bright smile on his face.

"That's great, Sister Clara! The points for the four consecutive victories actually have a full 10 points. If you exchange them all, it will be as much as 100 million US dollars!"

"That's right. I didn't expect that underground duels would make so much money."

Hoshino casually added: "However, the money earned from the points doesn't seem to be as much as what Clara you made from betting tonight~"

"Yes, after all, the odds are so high, of course you will earn more..."

Clara, who realized something was wrong halfway through the speech, quickly covered her mouth.

"You have been exposed, some natural young miss~"

Hoshino and Akasha, who cooperated perfectly, showed a smirk in tacit understanding.

Chapter 24: This is my battle

"Hey... What did I say just now?" Clara looked at Keith innocently, trying to get away with it.

Keith grinned and said, "You said just now that you made a lot of money by betting tonight, I'm so fucking high!"

"I didn't use such a violent and dirty tone, really, Howard!"

"Don't deliberately hide it from us. We don't mean to blame you. After all, it's your own money." Hoshino continued to ask curiously: "So Clara, how much money did you win?"

Clara, who hesitated to speak, lowered her head and snapped her fingers: "Well, I bet all my pocket money on Xiaowei's first game, and then I bet all my winnings on Howard's second game, and then ..."

9527, who was watching quietly from the side, suddenly answered and reported the results of tonight accurately.

"The Phoenix family, bet 8 dollars in the first game, and won 99.2 in total. Bet 100 million in the second game, won 130 million. Bet 130 million in the third game, won 403 million. Bet 400 million in the fourth game, won 480 million .Including the 10 points earned today, excluding Miss Clara's principal of 8, a net profit of 575 million."

"Hiss!" Although he was mentally prepared, Hoshino couldn't hold back a deep breath after hearing the real result.

The question that Hoshino was more worried about before was that since Clara had concealed the fact of the bet, would she not trust herself and secretly bet the money to the other side, resulting in a situation where it would be for nothing.

Now it seems that Hoshino's worries are completely unnecessary.Not only did this eldest lady trust herself and Keith, but she also poured all the money in almost every game. In a sense, she could be called a natural gambler with a precise sense of smell.

"Clara, you really are, you don't leave yourself a way out at all. And you have 8 in pocket money alone. Sure enough, this is the real super lady."

"After all, Howard said, Xiaowei, your duel strength can be [-]-[-] with him. Since he said that, then Xiaowei, you must be much stronger than Howard!"

Keith's expression froze, his eyes hidden behind the sunglasses were extremely awkward.

Clara clenched Xiaofen's fist tightly, and added with firm eyes: "And Xiaowei and Keith have already risked their lives to fight, how can I just think about my retreat. Although compared with you Insignificant, but this is also my way of fighting, so let everyone share the money won tonight!"

shine!From behind Clara, Hoshino seemed to see the too dazzling holy light again.And this time, probably because the brilliance of money is mixed in it, the brightness is several times higher than last time.

"Sister Clara, you are too generous, wait for me to figure it out!" The excited Akasha followed Clara's example and began to snap his fingers.

"575 million, Sister Xiaowei, Sister Clara, Uncle Keith, and I, add up to a total of four people. If they are divided equally, each person will get at least 143 million. This is a fortune."

Pushing back one of the four fingers that Akasha extended without authorization, Hoshino said: "It has nothing to do with you, Akasha, don't think that if you count yourself in without authorization, you can get this wave of bad money."

Akasha smacked her small mouth in displeasure: "Tsk, it's been exposed, you're really stingy, sister Xiaowei."

"If the three people share equally, one person can get close to two million." Keith said forcefully: "Although my uncle is too strong, the odds are not as high as that unknown rookie over there, but I have money. Absolutely won’t take a piece less.”

Bounty hunter Keith Howard will never give in to his obsession with money.

"I don't really have any objections. After all, Keith, you also risked your life to fight." Hoshino shrugged.

I used cheating to destroy the current device. If I really want to talk about the degree of consciousness, Keith, who is really fighting for his life, is higher.

"And Clara, I don't need my two million. But in exchange, I hope you can promise me what I proposed at the beginning of tonight."

Clara's expression became complicated: "Xiaowei, you are upgrading to a high-level duel field."

Now the accumulated points already have 10 points, as long as they win two more games in a row, they will be able to collect the 20 points needed for advancement tomorrow.And if all the 20 points were converted into money, it would be exactly two million.

Akasha couldn't believe his ears, hugged Hoshino's waist, and shook his whole body vigorously.

"Sister Xiaowei, are you crazy? That's 200 million. You can eat fried chicken until you are full. If you don't want it, you can give it to me!"

I'm sorry, Akasha, I've eaten enough, and if you shake it so hard again, I might spit it out.

Clara still couldn't understand, and asked: "Why are you so obsessed with Xiaowei? If you just want to make money, this situation is completely enough now."

Hoshino replied solemnly: "This is my battle, just like Clara you said just now. If revitalizing the Phoenix family is your battle, protecting Clara's safety is Keith's battle. Then stand on this The apex of the underground duel is my battle!"

Keith immediately retorted: "My uncle's battle is to make money, and has nothing to do with protecting such an innocent young lady."

As a staff member, 9527 was still standing by. In order to beware of the eyeliners in the duel field, Hoshino naturally couldn't tell his real mission.And even if 9527 is not there, Hoshino doesn't intend to let Keith and Clara know about it.

"Miss Clara, I also think Miss Vivienne's proposal is very reasonable." Unexpectedly, 9527, whom he was wary of, spoke for himself at this time.

Clara, who was still hesitating, looked at 9527 with some doubts.

"Although I made a lot of money by betting tonight, as far as I know, it is far from enough to make up for the broken capital chain of the Phoenix family. However, such a situation with such exaggerated odds like tonight will never happen again. "

After all, through tonight's four-game winning streak, Phoenix has fully proved its terrifying combat effectiveness.Like Hoshino at the beginning, the odds of 1:10, and even the later odds of 1:3, are absolutely impossible to happen again.

"So it's better to give up the low-odds battle and go to the high-level duel arena. The odds of the high-level first battle will definitely be very scary. The most important thing is that 1 point of high-level points can be exchanged for 100 million US dollars."

Clara still had some resistance: "But, isn't the high-level duel field very dangerous? The duelists in it are all very strong, right?"

9527 continued to add: "No, based on my experience, the strength of Miss Vivienne and Mr. Keith is rare even in the high-level duel arena."

Now 9527, after seeing the strength of Hoshino and Keith, will no longer say the slightly cold and disdainful words at the beginning.At least she, who has witnessed countless duels in the underground duel arena, dares to conclude that even if Hoshino and Keith enter the high-level duel arena, they will still be in trouble.

At that time, my status in the duel field will be upgraded from the manager of an ordinary family to the manager of a high-level family.9527 is naturally unwilling to let go of such a win-win situation.

"Let me think about it again..." Under 9527's persuasive persuasion, Clara finally had a tendency to compromise.

Pressing his slender fingers on his chest, 9527 performed the etiquette of a deacon: "No problem, Miss Clara, it won't be too late to make a decision after the Phoenix family wins two more games tomorrow and reaches 20 points. Then I will transfer the points now Keep it and put all the winnings from betting into your account."

"Well. Then I will trouble you, Miss 9527."

......

The battles in the underground duel field usually lasted until 6 o'clock in the morning, but the Phoenix family and others who had ended all four battles reached a consensus and left the noisy place early.

"Is this San Francisco at four o'clock in the morning? It's so quiet~"

Hoshino let out a long sigh of relief, being suppressed by the noisy underground duel field all night, this moment of tranquility seemed to be the second enjoyment tonight besides the buffet food.

From the moment she left the arena, Clara, who was in a thoughtful state, grabbed Hoshino's sleeve.

"Well, Xiaowei... No, Ms. Hoshino, I have something I want to talk to you alone, can I?"

Hoshino couldn't help but wonder.What's wrong with me today, everyone wants to chat with me alone, first Samejima, and now Clara, is it because my outfit is so handsome, so I became popular unconsciously?

"Can we talk alone, okay~"

On the other hand, Akasha had a shitty expression on her face: "Talk alone, wouldn't you let a cute little girl like me spend most of the night alone with this scary-looking uncle...Ah Kasha feels a big crisis."

"I'm sorry, it will take at least 10 years for a kid like you to interest me, Uncle Keith."

Keith, who was very sensible, left with his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked towards the late-night restaurant that was still open, creating an environment for Hoshino and Clara to talk alone.

"Let's go kid, I'll take you to Waffle house (a nationwide chain of late-night 24/7 restaurants) for fries."

"Well, for the sake of the fries..."

Glancing at the two people who were going away, Hoshino asked Clara: "Okay, you came here to find me, a caring big sister, do you have anything to discuss. Don't worry about it, just ask~"

"Miss Hoshino, in fact, I have been keeping something from you and Howard."

Clara, who looked a little awkward, could still observe the faint blush on her delicate cheeks even in such a dark and dim environment.

......

"Huh? Forced into marriage by the Lloyd family!? Because you didn't agree, the Lloyd family started secretly targeting Phoenix?"

Before, Clara just explained to everyone that the Phoenix family was oppressed by the Lloyd family's business and was forced to participate in an underground duel.Hoshino originally guessed that the Lloyd family used this method to force unrelated families to participate in order to expand the power of the underground duel.

But I didn't expect that such a complicated relationship would be involved in this incident.

"Zig Lloyd is a well-known playboy, and my father doesn't want me to marry that kind of person. But the power of the Lloyd family is too huge, and it is not something people like us can resist."

Hoshino said in admiration: "But you still choose to resist. Such an act of courage really impresses you, miss."

Clara shook her head aggrievedly: "No, Zieg Lloyd said to give me a chance, as long as I can keep winning the underground duels, he won't force me to marry her."

"So it's like this..." Hoshino understood why Clara was so unwilling to upgrade to a high-level duel. It was also a condition of 'always winning'. The difficulty factor of ordinary duels was obviously much smaller than that of high-level duels. .

"So, the matter of being promoted to the high-level duel field..."

"It's so naive, my eldest lady. You were obviously deceived by that guy Zieg Lloyd. You think that using family means to carry out commercial attacks and force girls to marry his playboy will have credibility words?"

Hoshino sighed softly, for the ignorant lady in front of him, he still wanted to reach out to help her.

"Besides, what kind of bullshit condition is it to keep winning? How many games and how long do you have to win? If you win for 10 years, can you persist?"

This Sieg Lloyd never intended to let Clara go from the very beginning, forcing her to participate in an underground death duel, most likely just out of interest, wanting to see the desperate expression of this eldest lady.

There was a hint of crying in Clara's voice: "Then what should I do, Ms. Hoshino. I don't want to marry that kind of person."

"Of course it's to defeat Zieg Lloyd, and drag that scumbag from the summit!"

======

Samejima: "The user of the Goddess of War deck - Zig Lloyd. According to my previous investigation, there is a potential rule in the high-level duel arena. Defeating his family can replace the Lloyd family in the duel arena. .This is why so many families flock to him and spend a lot of money to hire duelists to participate in the competition. However, no duelist has been able to defeat him so far."

======

"That is to say, if you defeat Zieg Lloyd in the high-level duel field, Phoenix will no longer have to fear the Lloyd family!" Seeing hope, Clara's expression gradually changed from depression to excitement.

"So leave the battle to me and Keith, I believe Keith will agree... Wait, why do you have to talk to me about this kind of thing alone, avoiding Keith?"

Hoshino, who instantly realized that something was wrong, suddenly had a fearful idea in his heart.

"Being forced into marriage by the Lloyd family, you have to hide it from Keith, Clara, you will not be an uncle like Keith...Impossible, impossible, it is too disrespectful, Clara You must recognize the reality!"

Holding his forehead, Hoshino desperately denied it.

"I don't understand either, I just don't want Howard to know about it."

Another layer of pink appeared on Clara's cheeks, and she shook her head: "And Ms. Hoshino, Howard only looks more mature, but he is actually only in his twenties (the official setting is 26 years old), and he has not yet reached the age of an uncle. "
