NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

"Whoa~?"

In the dimly lit room, a woman with half-black, half-white hair and a voluptuous figure was maintaining the gun in her hand. She raised an eyebrow and asked:

"You mean he didn't exchange a single chip, then guided a newbie to win several rounds, took 100,000 chips from the opponent, and then turned his initial investment into five million?"

“Yes, and he has had prosthetic limbs implanted in all four of his limbs. We have reason to suspect that he has some kind of… or even multiple cheating methods.” The manager of the Sicilian casino gave a helpless bitter smile.

"Boss, should we kick him out? With a prosthetic body modification rate of this level, he must be a tough guy from the Ark."

"..."

Under the warm, orange light, one side of Rosanna's face was barely illuminated, revealing her features, while the other side remained hidden in darkness.

Prosthetic body...gambling...

The last time I heard these two terms linked together was during the Gold Coin Wars.

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it myself."

After putting away the guns, Hedonia's godmother lazily stood up from the leather sofa, picked up a rifle that looked like a Thompson submachine gun from the gun rack, and her pale red eyes were already wide open with excitement.

"Heh, if it really is that guy..."

"This is indeed a bit difficult."

Chapter 221 Enchantress Phoenix Demon

Cheating is a trick that has never disappeared from ancient times to the present.

In Phoenix, my hometown, they even drew a line between the two extremes of cheating: the "civil" and the "martial."

First, there's the martial arts scene, specifically referring to gamblers who have no real martial arts skills but rely on props.

These types of people are only slightly harder to catch than low-level gamblers. After all, in any big establishment, there are usually professionals in charge, so it's easy to spot the clues of a novice gambler.

Of course, some people are an exception.

As for the literary tricks, to play them in the world of gambling cheating, one basically needs to apprentice under a master. Many of these people are experts who started learning from childhood, and their skillful hands are similar to those of close-up magicians.

They could always shuffle a deck of cards into a favorable order when they had a complete set; with a few evenly distributed dice in their hands, they could roll whatever number they wanted.

Coincidentally, when Rosanna was young, she had studied cheating for several years out of interest.

Furthermore, now that she has become Niki, her control over her body has improved dramatically in terms of precision and speed. Her cheating skills are now on par with some seasoned masters.

then,

The central VIP area of ​​a casino in Sicily.

"Sir, you seem to have good gambling skills. Would you be interested in playing a couple of rounds with me?"

Draped in a ferret-trimmed cape, exuding queenly aura, Rosanna domineeringly sat down on the edge of the gambling table.

—That is, right in front of Phoenix.

"Not interested in."

The lieutenant, who had already won 9.3 million, shook his head decisively after seeing the newcomer's face. Ignoring the taut, smooth thighs and magnificent chest in front of him, he immediately stood up, turned around, and walked towards Anis and the others not far away.

There was no way around it; her half-black, half-white hair was just too unique, so Phoenix recognized Rosanna's true identity at a glance.

It turns out this casino belongs to her...

"Hello, could you please settle my chips and transfer all my credits to this account? Thank you."

The lieutenant politely nodded to the waiter and was about to leave when Rosanna caught up with him in two quick steps.

The woman smiled insincerely and said in a relaxed tone:

“My men informed me that someone may have violated our casino's rules, so I need to verify this myself. After all, nine million isn't a small sum, is it, sir?”

"..."

Faced with Rosanna's aggressive attitude, before Phoenix could even express his opinion, Anise, unable to bear it any longer, launched a verbal counterattack against the underworld queen.

"Haha, you're talking like nine million is your money. What? Are those idiots who lost to us all shills you secretly arranged?"

Without a doubt, the girl's sharp words were a fatal accusation against the casino.

Rosanna, the behind-the-scenes boss of Sicily and the head of Hedonia, who never hesitates to use violence to solve problems, surprisingly did not lose her temper on the spot. Instead, she continued to joke with a smile:

"Your woman is hot, sir."

He's just a little disobedient when he opens his mouth. If we don't discipline him properly, he might cause you trouble in the future.

"Ha~?"

The underworld queen's words, which sounded like a joke but actually carried a hint of sowing discord, immediately elicited a sarcastic interjection from Anise.

"you……"

Before the girl could continue her sarcastic remarks, the lieutenant, slightly annoyed, turned to face Rosanna and asked in a casual tone.

"Do you want to become trouble?"

Rosanna: "..."

Privately, one of the godmothers had been following Phoenix's personal life, gossip, and scandals.

For example, she once read a very sensational rumor that the CEO of Gokuraku Jodo was so infatuated with this man that she couldn't help but have sex with the lieutenant every time she visited him in prison.

For example, the lieutenant is an extremely handsome man, and together with the genius commander "Morning Star" from decades ago, plus the current deputy commander Anderson, the three are known as the "Three Heroes of the Ark".

However, seeing is believing.

When Phoenix spoke threateningly in a casual tone, Rosanna, who had never seen the lieutenant's face before, immediately realized that the man in front of her was the commander known for his killing prowess.

Well, he's not as handsome as the rumors say. But the subtle murderous aura and protective nature he inadvertently exudes...

Yes,

She admired him, she liked him very much. Handsomeness was nothing compared to a sense of security and just the right amount of assertiveness.

"Guess the numbers, best of seven."

After giving someone a high evaluation in her mind, Rosanna didn't respond to Phoenix's words, but instead continued on her own:

"If you win, sir, the nine million will be yours, and all expenses for coming to our Hedonia territory will be waived, and I will personally receive you."

Of course, the premise is that I have to be free at the time.

Conversely, if I win, the nine million will still belong to you, sir. However, you must come to Sicily to cover for me whenever you have time, for a total of three months and ninety days, on paid leave.

how about it? "

Rosanna's betting proposal left Phoenix completely bewildered.

This bet...it feels like I'm going to win no matter what the outcome?

Little did the lieutenant know that while he thought he could win twice, the Queen, who had made the bet, also felt that she would win the bet no matter what.

Lost,

Sicily is nothing to be ashamed of. Those guys who lost money wouldn't dare utter a sound after hearing the name Phoenix.

She herself could act as a guide, openly approaching the lieutenant and waiting for an opportunity to act.

Won,

That would be perfect.

Three months, ninety days, a total of two thousand one hundred and sixty hours. She refused to believe she couldn't sleep with the man she wanted.

"Guess high or low, how many dice?"

The moment Phoenix responded, Rosanna smiled sincerely with satisfaction.

"Guess high, five dice, red dots don't count as wilds."

Just as the two were talking, Anise and Marianne, who were standing behind the man, exchanged a glance, their bright eyes filled with wariness and irritation.

Although they didn't understand what the black-and-white hairy woman was up to, their female intuition kept sending out warning signals.

Something's not right. This familiar feeling seems familiar, like I've experienced it somewhere before.

The next second, almost at the same time, Anise and Marian each understood why they had an inexplicable sense of crisis.

That's how it feels when Tia is flirting with their men!

"Hehe~ The instructor's words just now were so domineering~"

While everyone was engrossed in their own little schemes, the blonde JK with pink glints in her eyes suddenly trotted off towards Phoenix...

flutter--!

Tia, whose dictionary doesn't contain the concept of "shyness," skillfully hugged the instructor's broad back from behind, chuckling foolishly.

"I also like causing trouble~"
