Chapter 29: The Thief
How do you defeat an enemy who can see through your heart?
The easiest way is to deceive yourself, which may be difficult for others, but for Jack, who has a smart brain [star], it is really simple. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
[Star] has the ability to project the picture onto Jack's retina, and naturally, Jack directly asked [Star] to "change" the color of all the cards, because Jack's command to Star is to make a winning color replacement, so as long as Jack does not think about it, he will not be able to show flaws.
On one side, Daphne comforts Shirley, while on the other, Jack is condescending, looking down on Belen, who has fallen to the ground, in a victorious manner.
"It's a pity, Francis. You lost ......"
"No, no, impossible, how could I fail!" Belen's face was full of ashes, he looked at Jack, who was expressionless and approaching, and suddenly retreated in a little panic, shouting, "You, what do you want? By the way, how about another bet, another bet?"
"Okay, another three-color hand, but, Francis, I'm just going to take your life this time. By the way, you're going to gamble with your life, how about it?"
"I, my life?" exclaimed, Francis hugged Jack's thigh, pleading with a face, "Spare me, spare me, okay? Spare my life, please! I'm a weak gambler, I haven't done anything bad except gambling, please, spare me!"
"Oh, now you know that?" Jack raised an eyebrow, still without a smile on his face, "Originally, I should have said [Have you spared those who begged you for mercy?], but this kind of talk is too corny, and, personally, I am actually quite kind, you know, I will let you live, but ......"
"What are you going to do, what are you going to do?"
"See for yourself, what would I do as a life-threatening earl?" Jack pointed to his heart.
"Are you going to beat me?"
[Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!]
"I'm not alone, demon believer. ”
With a sly grin, Jack, Devany, and Faye surrounded Belen and beat them all up.
Belén Francis - Crippled, disembarked from the airship and sent to prison.
――――――
Lucky or unlucky, Jack never encountered any other enemies on his way, and after the battle with Belen, Jack confessed his identity to Daphne and the others, and apologized for implicating them. Since Shirley was unscathed, Devany and the others generously forgave Jack, and at the same time, the shared hardship made several people form a flower of friendship.
A few new friends talked about the sky a little less caringly, and Devany and the others invited Jack to play in the King of Thorns, and Jack also gave each of them a Forest Bear Rifle after getting off the airship. After that, several people separated in reluctance.
The City of Stars is a large city located in the middle of Jeddara.
To the northwest of the city of Ashen, in the fertile Starry Plains, the city is famed for its long river, which is generous for irrigation and as a waterway for ships, giving the city a thriving agriculture and thriving commerce. From Jeddara's largest department store to Jeddara's most enchanting nightclub, the city's populous lanterns and boats detonate the city's revelry during the summer brazier festival. It is the most famous sight of the Star City, attracting tourists from all over the world.
The "Queen" who controls this prosperous city is none other than the Kingdom's famous Duke of the Stars, yes, she is a lady, and a beautiful lady, an eternal topic of conversation in the aristocratic circles of Jidala. Her amorous affairs are as commendable as her beautiful countenance, and her domineering arrogance is as seductive as her tenderness and sweetness.
And Jack has just heard that the queen has been looking for immortality lately.
"Where did this come from?" asked Jack, picking up the fruit that was placed in front of the fruit shop, to the old man sitting on a round stool.
"The whole city is saying, oh, this is the biggest gossip in recent years, I heard that Lady Luna has received very evil magic for immortality. The old man pretended to look left and right mysteriously, but unfortunately, what he said loudly did not want to be secret, "I heard that Lady Luna has relied on this magic to absorb the essence of men, and has gained eternal youth!"
"Oh, come on, old Martin!" interrupted the old man from the hat stall next door, and retorted loudly, "Lady Luna has obtained her eternal life through the Elven Spring!"
"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about, elven springs, if this thing is going to live forever, I'll eat your hat. "Old Martin showed no signs of weakness.
"Well, it's because he's unstable, that's why Mrs. Luna didn't say she succeeded, isn't she still looking for another way......"
"Oh, that spring water is a complete lie, it's useless!"
"Who said that, I think your kind of thinking is a sign of a man's dirty!"
"Well, thank you, I'll go first......" Jack was about to turn away, but the old man shrewdly grabbed Jack's shoulder.
"Oh, young sir, you have been chatting with the old man for so long, don't you want to buy any fruit? Look at this red apple, this watery grape, I even told you that big secret, oh, buy something!"
"Okay, okay!" Jack nodded helplessly, picked a random apple, and just as he was about to take some loose money from his handbag on the ground, he was surprised to find that his handbag was missing.
"Hey!? where's my bag!"
Jack exclaimed, turned around and saw the crowd coming and going, and he could still see the shadow of his bag.
"Over there, over there!" the thief went that way!" Old Martin pointed out the way to Jack.
"Oh, why didn't you say it sooner!!," he complained, throwing down the apple, and Jack hurriedly ran over there, and after he had squeezed past a few people, he saw a sneaky, diminutive teenager who was walking pretending to be carrying Jack's handbag.
Without making a sound, Jack wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was not being killed and deal with the teenager from behind, but it was obvious that Jack's movements were still too big and were alertly discovered by the teenager.
"Stop, hey, thief, stop!! don't run!"
Knowing that he was exposed, Jack immediately shouted, hoping to get help from the others, but unfortunately, the boy flashed and turned into a small alley after hearing Jack's shouting.
Although the others wanted to help Jack, they didn't know who the thief was, which caused a small mess and hindered Jack's steps.
"Oh my God, it's not like that!"
With a complaint, Jack turned on the stop.
