Free Web NovelChapter 557: Chapter 200: [Guardian Titan]_2
Boss N: "Hahahaha, Secretary Brown, you’re making it sound like I specifically target Coach Shil. So, according to you, should I prepare a greeting gift for every youngster I play cards against?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Secretary Brown: "How about this, if Ree Shil wins, then you can give him a gift."
Boss N: "Oh? What do you guys want?"
Secretary Brown: "I heard your Card Club can get their hands on [Path of Insight]..."
Boss N: "Well, now I see. Wembley Brown, you came for that from the very start, didn’t you?"
"That’s not entirely accurate, ahahaha...." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Secretary Brown, slightly embarrassed, let out a couple of awkward laughs at the latter’s last comment.
Indeed, he came for that.
"Alright, if Coach Shil can indeed beat me, I’ll consider it as investing in him. What’s wrong with that?"
Unexpectedly, Boss N generously agreed without any hesitation.
"But Coach Shil, with this, the nature of this card game has changed, hasn’t it?"
After that, he turned his attention back to Ree Shil.
Originally, he had no intention of going all out; he just treated it as instructing the younger generation.
But now, they’re talking about [Path of Insight], an expensive item, and...
"And as a gesture, shouldn’t you guys put something on the line?"
Boss N looked at Secretary Brown again.
Secretary Brown: "Regarding our side, we’ll wager five bottles of transmigration potion."
Boss N: "Hmm?"
Using five bottles of transmigration potion to match up with [Path of Insight] was somewhat disbalanced.
"You’re the one who said it’s only a gesture."
"Besides, Ree Shil is a junior."
"And, do you really think you’re going to lose?"
Secretary Brown kept pushing the other party’s buttons.
"Hehe, okay." Boss N gave Secretary Brown a look as if he bore his words in mind.
He realized why they chose to set up a card game in this kind of circumstance.
Because there are many witnesses present, it’d be hard for him to decline, right?
Was Museum Director Phoenix taken down by them in the same way?
However, on the other hand, he didn’t really mind.
Like he had mentioned earlier, even if he really did lose, so what? It would just be like investing in a rising star.
And as Secretary Brown said earlier, would he lose?
Absolutely not!
"..."
Listening to their finished conversation, Ree Shil had no chance to chime in.
However, it did sound like things were being confirmed to his advantage.
"Well, where’s the information you collected just now? Do we still have time for me to look it over?"
He looked at Secretary Brown.
No matter whether it was interesting or not, he had to win!
That was the [Path of Insight]!
"It’s too late, there’s no time, we can’t make it."
Secretary Brown rolled his eyes and spat out a series of words.
"Go ahead, quickly."
After finished speaking, he gave Ree Shil a push on the back.
"Damn it, shit!"
Ree Shil, using the third tone, imitated Straw Man’s way of speaking.
Vroom!
Just as he settled down at the card table, Boss N already set up the barrier.
"Since there’s a stake involved, let’s be more formal."
That’s what Boss N said.
"It was all Secretary Brown’s idea, actually. I don’t mind if I directly give a few bottles of transmigration potion to Boss N."
Ree Shil seemed to be giving in.
"Oh? You’re quite sensible."
"Of course, and I’m hoping Boss N will nonchalantly give me the [Path of Insight]."
"..."
This turnaround directly left Boss N speechless.
"Hahaha! Didn’t discover earlier that you’re quite the funny little lad!"
Then he laughed heartily, slapping the table with his hand, "If you want it, use your real skills to get it."
Vroom...
Under his setup, changes began to occur on the card table.
From previous 6+1, it changed to 9+1.
9+1 is definitely the most formal arrangement.
All the major competitions use this format.
"Then I’ll give it a try."
Ree Shil didn’t say much more and began to set his cards.
Having been idle in BangBang City for so long, it was about time to use his card deck.
Since he had prepared beforehand, Ree Shil’s card arrangement was quite quick.
Boss N was also fast on his side, neither one wasted any time.
"As the host, let me open the first round of the game."
The card game began, and Boss N took the initiative: "Let me show you what a real Mech deck is."
According to his observations over the past few days, Ree Shil likely doesn’t have Machine Hunting cards.
And even if he does, so what?
Do you know what power suppression is?
As his words fell, he lifted the covered card in the headline district column.
[Protection...is the first...mission!]
A projection of a large figure slowly rose from the card’s surface.
This was a rusty, slightly old-fashioned, human-type robot.
It had a clear torso and arms, but the head was semi-spherical.
It moved slowly but with great strength.
When it rose to half its height, it stopped, revealing only its upper body.
But Ree Shil could tell that even at half body, this big guy was taller than the average card projection, and if the whole body appeared, it might be too conspicuous.
Plus, it had now slightly invaded the two card positions on either side.
If one didn’t look closely, they might mistake it for a Giant Card.
[Guardian Titan]
Determination, 30 points, A
