Chapter 205 Casino
After leaving the shop, Peter, Helen, Alex and Berg were on their way to find the person who Helen said she trusted so bad so they could find the information they needed out.
"Did you really had to battle with that guy for the armour?" Alex asked Peter.
"He asked for it okay, I didn't want to fight but when he placed the armour down for a bet, I couldn't resist." Peter replied.
That was when the four of them all received the same notification on their system screen at once.
{I might be back late, so try and gather information and I will do the same on my end. When we get back, we would share whatever we found and try to formulate a plan. One more thing, please stay out of trouble.}
"Oh boy!" Alex slapped his forehead loudly. "We practically did the opposite of what Jake said to do."
"Well it's his fault for sending the message late." Peter shrugged as he held the casing which the armour he got was in tightly.
"So where are we going to find this your guy?" Berg asked Helen.
"I had already sent him a message to meet somewhere secluded and he replied back telling me where to meet him so that's where we are headed." Helen replied as they kept on walking around the streets for a few minutes.
And then they stood in front of another establishment. This one was quite different and grand compared to the inn the left from. Then Alex and Peter looked at the sign hanging above the building and they were now confused.
"A casino?" Alex asked.
"What's a casino?" Peter asked which earned him stares from Alex, Helen and Berg.
"Right, you are from a small town so you wouldn't know what this is." Alex said which earned him a frown from Peter.
"No offense dude, anyway, a casino is where rich merchants and probably rich adventurers come to gamble away their money in the hopes of earning more." Alex explained.
"So we are meeting your guy here?" Peter asked Helen.
"Yes, and we have been standing here for too long, let's go in now." Helen said as she was about to push the door open but it opened on its own.
They all walked in and immediately were hit with loud heavy music and tables scattered around with people on it playing all sorts of things.
Then they could see people dressed in purple suit at all the different tables that had people playing games.
Peter stared in amazement as he could see that a lot of money had been spent here.
"C'mon let's go." Helen said as they walked around the place trying to identify Helen's guy.
"Hold on!" Berg said.
"You are a C rank adventurer right?" Berg asked and then Steve turned around.
"Yes, why?" Steve asked.
"Then you must have a level of strength right?"
"Correct." Steve replied.
"So how about challenging one of them to fight and see for yourself if we can do this. And mind you, these are not the only people here for help, their leader is also in the city and I can bet it with you, with the three of them, they could defeat almost anybody." Berg said.
Berg was currently bluffing right now because he knew it wasn't possible to beat Blip with just Jake. Sure he was strong, but strong enough to beat the leader of a whole guild that was the third strongest, it was very much unlikely.
The reason Berg said all these was for Steve to trust them enough to release the information they needed to take back their city.
"Fine, I will take you up on that offer." Steve said. "And if they don't meet my expectations, I'm sorry miss Helen, I won't say anything."
Now, everything all depended on whether one of the two men would be able to pull it off. Sure, they knew Jake was strong and so was Alex since he had made his mark on the day of the battle with the werewolves.
But strong enough to beat a C rank adventurer, they weren't that sure.
"So where are we going to do this?" Alex asked with his arms folded as he looked almost bored. Discover stories at empire
"Here of course, the people here do love a good show so why don't we give them one." Steve said as he pulled up his longsword and pointed it to Alex.
"I choose you, you look the weakest among the two of you." Steve said.
"Me?" Alex pointed at himself then he chuckled. "Fine, I need to stretch a little bit so how about I use you for my stretching. It has been long I fought with humans and seeing Peter fight earlier with that strong guy, just makes me want to fight more." Alex said as he pulled out his giant sword that was strapped to his back.
The people seeing this, cleared the place so they wouldn't get caught up in whatever was going to happen. Meanwhile, two people were amidst the crowd trying to see what was going on clearly.
"Do this people just enjoy fighting?" A man asked himself quietly.
"I have felt the other one's strength, let's see how good this one is." Andrew smiled.
After the whole place was cleared, the two opponents stood in the centre of the room with their weapons drawn.
"A word of advice, if you are planning to hold back, then don't. Because I assure you, you won't even be able to draw out my full strength." Alex said.
"How arrogant!" Steve shouted as he dashed towards Alex in anger.
