I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads - Chapter 50



50 – What did you just say?(2)

“Dying? Die for this?”

“You don’t die, you bastard.”

“The bastard is bluffing.”

“I’m afraid. I’m afraid kid.”

The largest gambling house in the Viscounty of Hobart.

Eugene, who entered ‘Hobart Night’, was wrapping around the gambling tables here and there, winning moderately and losing moderately.

‘As if I am the gambling house and the gambling house is me.’

I had to become invisible to anyone.

He naturally blended in with the people at the casino. He gambled repeatedly like a gambler who had forgotten the passage of time.

In the meantime, he tried to find the suspicious-looking humans with the eyes hidden under the mask.

The day passed in the blink of an eye.

‘It’s not easy.’

Eugene, who had gambled 24 hours a day, got out of the gambling table and rubbed his eyes.

‘I wonder if too many years have passed.’

I tried to find someone who was in the know about the Hobart Viscount’s machinations, but it wasn’t easy. He was way too clumsy now.

‘I’m going to wait a few more hours.’

You’d better find another way.

Thought so, Eugene walked to the bar inside the gambling hall. I was thirsty from gambling too long.

“What do you want?”

“I’d like a beer, please.”

I thought drinking beer would make my thirst worse, but I had no choice as water and other beverages were sold out.

“Here.”

Eugene took a beer and took a seat. Then he sips his beer…….

I saw a strange sight not far away.

There was an old man with gray hair and three swordsmen with swords at their waists. The swordsmen got up and brought food and drinks whenever the old man spoke.

The old man was a nobleman who had broken his power, and the swordsmen seemed to be his escorts. They were the ones who came into the casino about ten hours ago and enjoyed gambling.

I didn’t see anything wrong, so I turned off my mind…….

“It’s hot because I gamble for a long time.”

The old man took off his coat, revealing a pattern on his chest. It was the emblem of the Hobart Viscount.

‘The Viscount of Hobart.’

Because he was an old man, there was a good chance he was an elder, and if so, he would know a lot about the past.

‘I have to approach it in some way.’

Eugene thought of a method while drinking beer.

The old man filled his stomach with alcohol and food.

After dozens of extras, as if he was full, he smiled happily and stood up.

“Chuck. Now that you’re full, you’re hungry for gambling.”

‘Am I going to the gambling table?’

Eugene focused his gaze to see where the old man was going. I was going to join him when I saw the gambling table he was sitting on.

‘Hmm?’

But the old man did not go to the gambling table. He came to Eugene’s place.

‘Why are you coming to me?’

I had doubts ahead of me, but I kept quiet because it wasn’t a bad situation.

The old man who arrived in front of Yujin smiled smirkingly.

“I’ve been watching since I came here, and he gambles non-stop. Do you like to gamble?”

“It’s okay.”

“Hmm? I didn’t know this voice was young. It was meant to be that we met, so would you like to play a game of gambling with the old lady?”

The old man grins and proposes.

“I frequent this place, but it’s the first time I see you. How about building a relationship?”

I could see an impure desire in his eyes filled with joy.

‘Did I look like a Hogu?’

It looked like he wanted to rob the pockets of a newcomer who had entered the gambling hall unknowingly.

Chuck!

The guards, who noticed the old man’s intentions, surrounded Yujin as if besieging him.

‘What type of rice cake is this?’

I was thinking about how to approach it, but I was so grateful that you approached me first, so I was on the verge of tears.

Eugene nodded her head and stood up from her seat.

“I like gambling. What would you like to do?”

“You seem to be getting better at playing cards right now.”

“You know what’s good?”

“Just trust me and follow me. You know my joyous gambling.”

The old man took Eugene and settled down on her mat and where her cards were placed.

‘That card.’

It was a traditional card from this world that Eugene had encountered several times in the game.

“Do you know how to gamble with this card?”

“I know it’s popular.”

“Then I guess I don’t need to explain.”

The old man sat down and had two guards seated on either side of him. Eugene naturally sat down facing the old man.

Then the old man started passing the cards with his familiar hand movements.

‘The old man’s purpose is to rob me.’

And Eugene’s purpose is to gather information.

The method has not been decided yet.

‘Let’s think while playing.’

The first game has started.

It’s time for the old man to pass the cards to everyone and bet money.

The old man smirked.

“Are you going to die?”

“No. Let’s stick together.”

“It should come out like that.”

Eugene pretended to be worried and raised her stake.

Everyone revealed their cards, and the old man’s hand was a bit better than Eugene’s, so he won.

“Chit.”

The silver coin that Eugene handed over was put into the old man’s hand.

“Uh heh heh!”

The old man laughed greedily as if he was blissfully happy. His eyes pierced Eugene’s thick anterior pouch.

“Let’s go to sleep. We have plenty of time, so let’s play all night.”

The old man excitedly shrugged his shoulders and passed the card.

Cards were handed out in front of the people, and silver coins flew through the air.

The gambling continued for several hours.

While doing so, Eugene found out two things.

‘The old man is playing a joke.’

First.

The old man was using his hands.

His skill was so high that it was difficult for ordinary people to notice, and Eugene also managed to find out by blowing magic into his eyes.

‘Greed too much.’

Second.

The old man was greedy for money.

How serious that is.

“Oh my money! My help!”

Even though he deliberately lost to raise Eugene’s stake, he screamed like a lord who lost his country. Even if the money he loses is mere pennies.

‘Even if I lose a penny, I’m at that point… ….’

How do you get out if you lose a lot of money?

‘It’s worth trying to create a situation.’

Eugene started the operation.

It was virtually impossible to win a lot of money when the old man used his hand skills, but there was a way.

‘Even if the old man’s hand skills are good, he doesn’t seem to be at the level of noticing a card disappearing.’

It was an insignificant card hide.

Thanks to Yujin losing money like a hugu for several hours, the old man had no doubts.

The opportunity came when the heat plate passed and the eleventh plate began.

“The cards are turned. Khad Gaa Dool Agaaa~”

The old man is excited about the world and turns the cards.

Yujin looked at the card in her hand. He was a high level loser among the top ranks.

‘A hand that has no choice but to win under most circumstances.’

But the old man must have had a better hand.

‘I’m sure he intends to shake it off with this edition.’

Eugene lost half of his money while gambling.

To give such a good hand in such a situation. With this edition, it seemed that he was planning to rob even half of Eugene’s money at once.

‘On the contrary, the board is perfect for cheating.’

Sueuuu─

Eugene skillfully used his magical powers without anyone noticing.

A strange movement occurs in his hand.

The cards in the hand and the cards hidden in the arm dance have been replaced.

The hand completed in this way was the best hand that boasted an unmistakable victory in gambling.

“I can’t stand this hand. Going big!”

The escort warrior who played the role of a windman raised the stakes.

“Ah, I can’t stand this either. Let’s go higher!”

Another escort warrior raised the stakes even higher.

“Eh. Such greedy things. Accept me because I’m nice!”

The old man joined the big board with a reluctant face.

Then he looked at Eugene with a sullen face.

“What are you going to do?”

In those eyes, greed that could not be hidden shines.

“Hmm… ….”

Yujin pretends to be worried and drools…….

“I don’t know! I’ll give it all!”

While acting like a hukou, he opened his pouch and poured out all the silver coins.

Chara la la la la rock!

Countless silver coins piled up.

Gulp.

The saliva went down the old man’s neck.

“Isn’t this killing people with money?”

“I have to gamble with luck, what should I do with money?”

The escort warriors said things they didn’t mean to say.

“I am dying.”

“Me too.”

They left the board as if they had prepared it beforehand.

All that remains is the old man.

“Are you going to die?”

“I’m in trouble, so don’t talk to me.”

The old man acted out of context. He furrowed his brow as hard as he could, got up from his seat, and poured in silver coins.

“I wrote my heart! Accept it accept it!”

Contrary to his benevolent words, the old man’s mouth was covered with a smile that he couldn’t hide from greed.

“How good is it that you bet that much money? This is my loser!”

The old man confidently showed his hand. It was a top-tier hand that beat all the tolerable hands.

“Oh my God!”

“This is bad… ….”

The escort warriors sent sad eyes and patted Yujin on the back.

“You can’t win this hand, can you? Yes?”

The old man pulled the heap of silver coins towards himself.

At that time, Eugene calmly opened his mouth.

“You haven’t seen my hand.”

Yujin slowly showed her hand.

The invincible defeat boasting an absolute victory was revealed in front of everyone.

“That, that…… !”

“Invincible…… ?”

“…… Huh!”

The faces of the escort warriors harden like stone. The old man exclaims how surprised he is.

“Did I win?”

Eugene removed the old man’s arm and pulled out several North Korean silver coins and put them in her front pocket.

‘It’s not a gain or a loss because it’s so different from what I lost.’

Giving and taking away was the most ardent law in the world.

I could tell that just by looking at the old man with a bleak face as if he had lost the whole world.

‘What will happen now?’

Once the old man did the thing he hated the most, we had to wait and see how he would turn out.

“I had a good time~”

Eugene deliberately hummed and raised her body.

A few minutes later, when Eugene left her gambling house.

“I can’t do this… …. This can’t be…….”

Tumbling.

The old man trembled as he reviewed his previous gamble.

He obviously gave Hogu a top-ranked hand, and brought a slightly better hand to me.

There was no mistake in that fact.

However, the hand that Hogu showed was not a top-tier hand given by the old man, but an invincible hand that boasted absolute victory.

This meant one thing.

‘I was hit in the back of the head… ….’

Hogu slapped himself on the back of the head. It’s also very big.

‘I don’t know what the heck he did… ….’

This was impossible.

The touch of the silver coins in my hand was still vivid.

The money was definitely mine.

‘It’s not that Hogu’s!’

It was clear what to do now that I had been taken unjustly.

“Listen!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The escort warriors answered with stiff faces.

“That hogu guy ran a trick and robbed the old man of his money! Do you guys know what to do?”

“I know!”

“I will cut off his hand and get his money back!”

“I will take off all the threads from your underwear!”

“…… I’m not going to do anything like that just hold on I need to know what he did.”

“Okay!”

The guards lowered their heads and ran out.

‘I must pay the price for messing around with this body.’

The old man got up slowly. His face was full of a relaxed smile.

‘There’s no way I can’t catch them with their skills.’

The old man’s escort warriors were strong men whose skills were proven. The wages they received were astonishing to ordinary people.

So, I just had to trust them and go.

“Chuck.”

The old man, Nathan von Randall Hobart.

Commonly known as ‘Nathan’, he smiled leisurely and headed out of the gambling hall.
