Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 340

I Plundered the Dungeon of the Demon God – Episode 344 (340/675)

Chapter 344

“I didn’t intend to kill him. I just didn’t know he was so weak~”

That’s a lie. Anyone could tell it was a lie.

Even if the first card stuck in his chest could be excused, the volley of cards that followed, piercing the dealer’s neck and head, was clearly a ‘confirmation kill.’

“What, who is it?”

“Don’t you know attacking is forbidden in the casino? It’s not as systematic as the auction house, but this kind of thing….”

“Attack? This was a punishment! Managing employees is definitely one of my roles~”

“Ro, role?”

“Could it be….”

With that simple explanation, everyone there recognized her identity.

She was the Queen of Lilac, famous for never showing her face to the world.

A thunderous chorus of greetings followed.

“We greet the Queen!”

“We greet the Queen!!”

All the dealers and guards on the second floor bowed simultaneously.

The voices were so loud that the player standing next to Seun covered his ears and frowned.

“Queen? Are you talking about the ruler of Lilac?”

“Why is someone like that here….”

The person next to him, who had been enjoying the game together, suddenly revealed herself as the Queen.

Moreover, judging from the attitude of the dealers and guards, it was hard to believe she was lying.

Seun was just as taken aback, but he didn’t miss the important question.

“Are you trying to sweep this under the rug with this?”

Now that she had revealed her identity, this was no longer a simple murder.

It was destruction of evidence.

As the owner of the casino, she was killing the dealer who had rigged the game and trying to make the incident disappear.

Upon hearing Seun’s words, the players finally realized the situation and snapped out of it.

It was fascinating to see the Queen in person, but the immediate situation was more important.

“You’re not going to just let this go, are you?”

“How much money did we lose here!”

“This isn’t just about the money. It’s about the time and expectations we’ve invested here. You’ll have to compensate for all of it.”

“It’s not just about the money! Does this mean you’ve been deceiving us all along? Huh?”

“If it weren’t for that wolf, we would have never known!”

The players regained their senses and raised their voices.

Throughout all of this, the Queen’s smile never faded.

She simply crossed her legs, as if she were uncomfortable, and continued to speak in a gentle voice.

“Oh, absolutely not. This is strictly the independent fault of our employees~”

“Who would believe that!”

“You said the manipulation was done with that watch, right? You, dealers?”

“Yes, yes!”

At the Queen’s call, all the dealers on the second floor put their hands together and raised their voices. It was like commanding well-trained soldiers.

“Everyone, roll up your sleeves and raise your hands~”

“Yes!”

The dealers hurriedly unbuttoned their sleeves and revealed their wrists.

Some of them were sweating as they struggled to unbutton their sleeves, eventually tearing the buttons off to raise their wrists.

It clearly showed how the dealers felt about her.

However, among them…

“Can’t you hear me?”

“Th, that’s. That’s….”

One dealer was desperately trying to cover his sleeve, sweating profusely.

He had sweated so much in this short time that his shirt was soaked.

“Guard?”

“Yes!”

“Take it off, quickly!”

“P, please. Please……. Please!”

The guards quickly ran over and forcibly raised the trembling dealer’s hand.

The sleeve was forcibly torn off, buttons bursting, and a wristwatch with a floral pattern was revealed inside the fallen sleeve.

“Please, save m….”

Thud.

Before he could even make an excuse, a volley of cards was embedded in the dealer’s head.

Instant death, as expected.

Whatever ability she was using, Seun was certain of her strength based on that simple throwing technique.

‘She’s strong.’

The Queen of Lilac.

The power she possessed was unsuitably strong for the level of the Sixth Shelter.

At least the 70th floor. No, honestly, she felt comparable to Brinn Jarr, the leader of Valhalla, whom he had met at the auction house.

Besides, although it wasn’t a certainty…….

‘She doesn’t seem like a resident.’

He suspected that she might not be a player. [In this context, a ‘player’ refers to someone who is actively participating in the challenges and progression within the dungeon or shelter system.]

Of course, he had no evidence and it was purely based on a hunch, so he had no intention of revealing this suspicion right now.

What was important right now wasn’t that.

“Guards, immediately search the bodies of all the dealers. If you see any accessories not listed in the manual, ‘punish’ them immediately~”

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

“Ah, and.”

Whoosh!

Hundreds, thousands of playing cards, appearing from nowhere, swept through the interior of the second floor like a storm.

The cards’ target was all the gaming facilities on the second floor.

All the facilities where games were played, including roulette, blackjack, and poker, were finely sliced.

If those weren’t gaming facilities, but monsters? No, if they were players instead of monsters?

It was a brutal attack that even Seun would have had difficulty blocking.

“Just in case there might be other devices installed, we should dispose of everything and make new ones~”

“You can’t just get away with this! Until now, we…….”

“The amount the players used today? No, I’ll refund all the coins used for games for a month~”

“How long have I been playing here! I’ve been coming up to the second floor for three months…….”

“I’ll refund more than that only to those who played games with the dealer who had the manipulation device just now~ Will that be okay?”

“What do you mean, okay! How do you know that!”

“Five times two days ago. Seven times five days ago. Eight times twelve days ago. Seven times thirteen days ago…… How is it? Am I wrong?”

“Y, you’re right, but…….”

“Of course, this isn’t the end~ Just in case anyone’s feelings were hurt, I’ll give consolation money not only to those here but to all the players who have reached the second floor as an apology.”

The Queen of the casino continued to deal with the situation naturally, as if it had already been planned.

After that, several players tried to fight back, but it was all in vain.

Including the refund and the consolation money, it was about to exceed the amount they had lost in the casino.

After completing the detailed measures, she had the guards deliver contracts to finalize the situation.

“Ah, and one more thing for the Wolf, as a sign of gratitude.”

Ting-

Something she threw bounced, reflecting the light.

Understanding its meaning, he snatched it, and saw a platinum coin sparkling.

In terms of contribution points, it was a coin worth a whopping ten million points.

Even though the maximum amount that could be used on the second floor was a gold coin, considering that most people used silver coins for entertainment, it was a very large amount even by the casino’s standards.

“Thanks to you, I was able to identify the bad guys. I look forward to working with you in the future~”

The cost of the contracts from just now alone was hundreds of millions of points. No, it was at the level of potentially exceeding billions or even tens of billions of points.

If that many points were lost, even a casino that was earning a lot of contribution points would have to falter.

However, no emotions like anxiety or regret were visible on her face.

Rather, she had a very pleasant expression.

She maintained a smile that was somehow spine-chillingly eerie.

“Ah, and if you don’t mind, would you like to play a game with me?”

“A game?”

“I’ve been watching, and you seem to be very good at roulette~ So I was wondering if you’d like to play a round of roulette with me.”

Good at roulette.

As someone who rules the casino, she would know better than anyone how absurd that expression was.

He examined her face as he had examined the dealer’s, but he couldn’t read any emotions from her.

It felt like there was a huge wall in place, as if he were talking to a constellation right in front of him.

“All the game facilities have been destroyed.”

“Oh, we can’t play with such trivial things~”

Clap!

As she clapped her hands, two guards standing against the wall pulled back a huge curtain, as if they had been waiting.

Was there such a curtain on the second floor?

When he consciously thought about it, it seemed like there had been something like that since he entered. But the fact that his memory was hazy probably meant…….

‘An artifact that confuses perception.’

Like a mask or robe, that curtain clearly had the ability to interfere with perception.

And it was much more powerful than a mask or robe.

When the curtain was pulled back, a huge spinning wheel was visible on the wall.

A kind of roulette.

In detail, it was different from roulette, but the principle itself was no different from roulette.

“Since it’s just the two of us, this much should be enough for the rules, right?”

Whoosh-

As she flicked her finger, a line stretched straight in the center of the spinning wheel.

A line dividing the spinning wheel in half.

On either side of the line were engraved cute rabbit and ferocious wolf drawings.

“How is it? Doesn’t it look fun?”

“What are the odds?”

“Ah, that’s right. I didn’t mention the odds? If I win, I’ll take the Colossus Coin, and if the Wolf wins, I’ll give you ten times the Coin!”

“You’re offering ten times the coin in a 1/2 probability gamble?”

“Oh, what does it matter~ I’m the owner here. Isn’t that right, everyone?”

“Th, that’s right!”

“That’s right, Queen!”

The casino employees, who had been on edge since the death of the two dealers, answered all at once.

The players who were writing contracts also lost track of the situation and focused their attention here.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ frowns, saying he doesn’t like the smell of someone, though he doesn’t know who it is.

– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Envy,’ raises its tail sharply, saying you need to be a little careful.

Seun’s constellations, who had been quiet because they weren’t interested in gambling, reacted all at once.

‘It’s not a simple gamble.’

If it were a simple gamble, she wouldn’t have offered such ridiculous odds.

In other words, this was a kind of test.

It was nothing more than a test to judge Seun as the ruler of Lilac, not as the casino.

Naturally, he had no intention of avoiding it.

“I will.”

Seun flicked the platinum coin.

A guard quickly ran over, snatched the coin, and nodded.

“There’s also the issue of fairness, so it’s a bit much for me or our employees to spin it…… You, mister?”

“Ah, mister? Are you talking to me?”

“Yes! Would you mind spinning this?”

“Why me!”

Ting-

A gold coin flying through the air.

The Oni Mask quickly snatched the coin, coughed, and cleared his throat before walking to the spinning wheel.

“Okay, spinning!”

The size of the handle was as enormous as the size of the spinning wheel.

It would have been difficult to properly grab and spin it if it weren’t for the Oni Mask’s thick hands.

Just before the spinning wheel started to turn, Seun carefully put his hand inside his robe.

Then, he felt the smooth surface of ‘Ganesha’s Broken Tusk.’

Even though it was only a 1/2 probability, his gut was telling him that he needed to borrow the power of the relic here.

– The Left Horn of the Bicorn bursts the luck dormant in ‘Ganesha’s Broken Tusk.’

– Through ‘Ganesha’s Broken Tusk,’ the Great Joyful Free Heaven is reproduced.

Crumble-

The Left Horn of the Bicorn could no longer withstand the power of the relic and crumbled.

Along with it, the luck of the god settled on Seun’s body.
