Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1187 - Chapter 1187 Chapter 365 Black Demon

Chapter 1187: Chapter 365 [Black Demon] Chapter 1187: Chapter 365 [Black Demon] Leonard Churchill looked at the old fox who placed his bandaged right arm on the gambling table and also eyed it curiously.

The bandages looked ancient, but the overflowing dark cyan mysterious curse characters were somewhat clear.

Leonard discerned curse characters like “Law Sealing,” “Contamination Control,” “Energy Leakage,”… and others indicating their effects.

The last time he saw something similar was the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth binding the body of the Weeping Angel.

“Disaster Object?”

Leonard guessed in his mind.

And indeed, as soon as the old man wagered his right arm, the invisible scales of fortune unexpectedly balanced out.

In other words, the old man’s arm was definitely of extraordinary value.

Leonard’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse, and it seemed like the Immortal Aegis Animals in the carriage knew what this object was.

Sophia Jones’s expression was grave with a hint of confusion, clearly unaware.

But she acknowledged the value of the object nonetheless.

And intuition told Leonard, should he really lose this bet, the old man would suffer a greater loss than if he had lost his life.

Seeing this, his smile grew even brighter, and he chuckled, “Old man, no take-backs now, huh?”

He never refused good things on the table.

The old fox also scrutinized the Joker illusion behind Leonard, a trace of greed barely perceptible in his eyes as he coldly stated, “Kid, if you lose, your life will be mine.”

Leonard grinned, showing his white teeth, not at all concerned as he said, “Heh heh, old man, what makes you so sure you’ll win?”

He, of course, knew where the other’s confidence came from.

His status effect currently displayed a negative halo of [Misfortune Entanglement].

Normally, his luck in gambling would be absolutely terrible.

However, what the opponent didn’t know was that Leonard’s halos were not limited to one, but included the entry [Gambler of Misfortune].

Leonard had no idea when he had become afflicted, but he was sure that its spell priority couldn’t possibly be higher than that of the JOKER Mark.

Two negatives make a positive?

Extremes of misfortune would trigger the gambler’s entry?

It was merely a speculative result.

Leonard was not certain.

But in his heart, he was indeed prepared to bet his life right now.

…

Looking at it now, all of that had been just a ruse to draw him into the game.

Tsk tsk, tricky old thing, not showing any cards at all.

Leonard was enjoying the familiar and pleasant sensation at this moment.

If it really came down to gambling, he didn’t feel sure that he could win.

But he also didn’t think he would lose.

It was this uncertainty that made gambling fatally attractive.

The Clown illusion behind Leonard appeared, staking his life and instantly overshadowing the momentum of everyone else.

The faces of Scar, the thief, and Kestrel, the three bystanders, were also now grave.

The old man urged, “Draw the cards!”

“All right!”

Leonard didn’t waste any time, drawing a card and laying it on top of the Spade A he had just received.

He was the dealer, revealing his cards last.

The sly Kestrel woman on his right then drew a card.

She got a Heart 9, added to the previous Heart 10, that made nine points, the maximum total possible.

Seeing her hand, Kestrel let out a sigh of relief and didn’t forget to give Leonard a provocative look, “Yo, looks like I’m in luck~”

The dealer only had two cards that could beat her.

Either draw an 8 to make nine points, which would be a tie deemed the dealer’s win, or draw another A to make a set of triple aces.

Both chances were extremely slim.

Leonard watched, his smile still fiendishly charming, glanced at his cards and slightly raised an eyebrow, unconcerned, “Huh, not too shabby.”

This unabating madness made Kestrel doubt herself for a moment, but she didn’t show weakness. She stuck close to him as before, her charm oozing, “Such a shame, handsome, looks like I’m going to win this time.”

It wasn’t intentional promiscuity, just the natural allure of a Fox Immortal.

Yet, she didn’t expect that as she was just trying out her wiles, a large hand would unceremoniously reach for her waist, latching on and kneading fiercely.

The already thin and light dress offered little protection; his brazen fondling felt very real.

“Eh… Did this old lady just get taken advantage of?”

Kestrel questioned in surprise in her heart.

This guy had been utterly unresponsive just now, so why did he suddenly make his move?

With a sideways glance, she only saw an even more twisted and malicious grin.

There was not a trace of calm and rationality from a minute ago in those eyes, just full of mockery, madness, and unbridled audacity.

It was as if he had completely changed personalities.

The gentleman from moments ago had turned into a lawless rogue.

At the same time, Kestrel also confirmed that her charms hadn’t failed, after all; this man could be seduced.

But why hadn’t he acted earlier?

Kestrel was both alarmed and helpless; she had put herself in this position, and if she showed now that she was cowed, her momentum would crumble.

But if she bore with it, that guy might just dare to touch anything.

The flimsy halter dress lacked sleeves, and his hand was actually reaching below her shawl?

With no barriers at all.

Has this guy lost his mind?!

Before Kestrel could work through her internal conflict, Leonard, with an eager hand, turned to the thief across from him and prompted, “Your turn.”

The thief’s expression had been sneakily glancing at Sophia Jones. It was clear he knew his tricks had been exposed, and he could possibly win only by deceiving her.

At a certain moment, it seemed like he had found an opportunity. His pointed face revealed a smug leer as he drew a card.

But just as he was about to flip the card, a bizarre yell erupted: “Ouch!”

A strange spectacle ensued.

The thief’s index finger was suddenly severed at the base, splattering the table with fresh blood.

This scene left not just the thief in shock and confusion, unsure of what had just happened.
