“Just…at night?”

To be honest, looking at Dang Ga-ju’s distorted face, I wondered if he had gone too far, but on the outside he started acting shamelessly and calmly.

“Gambling always requires a price.”

Education required lessons. If it is a gamble with real money, it is enough to give the person a sense of loss, but it is impossible to feel such a deep lesson from betting on such home appliances.

‘Oh, I was just completely fooled by that ronin! Is this the current state of my gambling skills…’ If you’re discouraged with a face that says, ‘I don’t know.’

But now, the face of Dang Ga-ju was the face of a gambling addict, regretting that he could have won money if only he had staked the stakes. The way of thinking itself is already different from that of ordinary people. It is true that the head of the party has become accustomed to my dexterity. But what if we calculate this in terms of probability? Even though the winning rate of the party leader had risen, it was clear to anyone that my winning rate was overwhelmingly high.

Is it normal to regret that if the odds of 1 penny were now 2 or 3 pennies, you would have won if you had played just a little more? If it were an ordinary person, there was a high probability that they would leave and run away, saying, “Oh, we have to stop now.”

The patient’s condition was more severe than I expected.

So, shouldn’t we go beyond counseling and provide physical therapy?

“Please think about it for a moment. Would it be okay for me to come and get some fresh air under the guidance of Great Lord Pungyeong?”

“Sure.”

With a serious look on his face, he left Tang Gaju, who had entered the warehouse, and headed to the reception room for a moment with Grand Master Feng Ying.

“What does Great Lord Poongyeong think of you?”

“Hehe… To be honest, it seems true that you are a bit obsessed with gambling.”

“Do you agree that the head of the household needs treatment?”

Lord Feng Ying thought for a moment and then nodded. Okay, first of all, I got the consent of the guardian.

“From what I can see, in my current state, even if I have the skills, it seems impossible to beat Tang Dao-gyeong. It is true that it is an urgent situation in many ways, but you should not repeat handshakes just because it is an urgent situation.”

“In any case, the head of the family may lose his temper, so I hope you can protect me.”

“Of course. It’s right behind me.”

The recruitment of a guardian and reception escort has been completed.

“Anyway, I understand that the memorization for the head of the house was passed on due to gambling. Wouldn’t it be enough to just compensate and take it back? Is there any reason to go this far?”

“Hehe, that too is a problem, but the real problem is that the head of the family lost to Dang Do-kyung at least by gambling.”

Is there something about Tangga that I don’t know about?

“What about the heads of other Sega families? Of course, since they are the heads of the families who live in the martial arts world, it is basic to be helpless. But strictly speaking, Gaju is just the representative of Sega. There is no need for the head of the family to be the absolute strongest person in the family.”

“Um.”

“However, the head of the Tang family must be undefeated. The best memorization, as well as the memorization only for family members. This is because you are given the best poison first. Tang family members may not know anything else, but they take it for granted that the family maintains the top position when it comes to martial arts. But is that actually natural?”

That was correct. It was harsh to say that you had to always produce the best results even if you received the best support.

“The head of the party family is a position that must accomplish that task. The head of the family lived like that his whole life. You said you had to treat the matriarch, right? That’s right. The head of a party family is a place where chronic diseases arise. It’s a position where you can’t help but become sick in the pursuit of invincibility.”

“Hmm…”

“In the party family, gambling and martial arts are considered to be closely related, so the fact that the head of the family lost to Do-kyung due to gambling was a major incident. In particular, Do-kyung is not even a direct descendant yet, and he is still a later Ji-soo. The realistic repercussions may be greater than the fact that the head of the household memorizes a step beyond.”

“The problem is that the family head’s exclusive memorization has been leaked…”

“Yes. Because it is indisputable proof that the head of the family was defeated by Do-kyung.”

“I see.”

I listened to Lord Feng Ying’s words and thought about it carefully. The head of the Tang family. Pressure to maintain the top spot. Anxiety about having to make up for defeat.

I just slowly pondered the words of Lord Feng Yeong. The more I thought back on the words, the more a firm conclusion became established in my mind.

this…

You’re just a gambling addict, right?

What is the importance of the story of gambling? I, too, was confused for a moment because Prince Pungyeong spoke in such an appealing way and seemed somehow relevant since he was the head of the Tang family.

Oh, that’s why you should never lose at gambling, so to make up for what you lost, you bet bigger and become ruined, so you sit on the street and reminisce about the past, saying, ‘Even though I’m in this situation now, when I was young, I was the head of a family that everyone knew by name!’ How is this any different from a homeless person who just ruminates?

Emotional sympathy is not very helpful in solving a case. Well, it seems that Great Lord Pungyeong wanted to defend the grievances of his superior, the head of the family… There is no grave without a story.

When it comes to stories, there is no one like me. I was playing a game in the corner of my room when I got hit by a truck that fell from the sky and I’ve been suffering for 8 years now!

To be clear, gambling addiction is primarily a problem of lack of self-control and secondarily a lack of realism.

What is this absence of reality? This refers to a state in which an accident occurs due to lack of self-control, but the consequences are not properly experienced due to luck or other factors.

Dangaju must think that the current situation is at rock bottom. As the head of the family, he seems to think that he has suffered an irreparable shame by losing to Tang Do-kyung… There is a basement under the floor. You can only be rehabilitated if you are truly disgraced to the core.

“If the head of the household refuses, I will judge that the head of the household has self-control and will just continue the class calmly. If not…you promised to do it my way?”

Lord Feng Ying quickly nodded. It seemed like the head of the family believed in the head of the family’s self-control.

Dang Gwang-ryeol declared as soon as he returned with the Great Lord Pung Yeong.

“I’ll get home appliances!”

And then, the head of the Great Lord Feng Ying bowed deeply.

*** ***

Of course, it didn’t take long to retrieve Dang Gwang-ryeol’s 10 home appliances.

Dang Gwang-ryeol looks sadly at the ceiling. Well, it is true that Dang Gwang-ryeol is gradually adapting to my slut. The odds of winning would probably have risen to around 4 to 5 pennies. A state in which one sees only possibilities without seeing risks.

“Do you want to do it again?”

“..good!”

“Then you have to settle the bill first.”

Master Pung Yeong, who had decided not to intervene, cleared his throat repeatedly as if he was frustrated, but now Tang Gwang-ryeol would not even hear the sound of such clearing his throat.

“…Keuung.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol put his face forward as if he was reluctant. I loaded the gun in my right hand and aimed it at my forehead.

My strength level is 9. It may seem insignificant since it is only a second-rate limit, but this strength level of 9 is equivalent to a training level of a professional athlete. It’s a figure that can crush a walnut shell with your grip strength.

Bah!

A fire with a strength value of 9 exploded on Dang Gwang-ryeol’s forehead.

“Huh…heh…hey, Ronin’s hands are very spicy.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol’s hand touching his forehead was trembling. Seeing that even the raised cross blood vessels were twitching, it seemed like he was quite feverish. The eyes looking at me were quite harsh, so I quickly changed the subject.

“Hehe, shouldn’t you gamble?”

“Phew, yes. That’s how it should be.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol shook his head and came to his senses. The burning fighting spirit was clearly visible in both eyes.

I intentionally lost it once on the fourth Yabawi.

“That’s right! Finally!”

Although it is only a single home appliance, it is Dang Gwang-ryeol’s first victory. Dang Gwang-ryeol, who must have been quite happy, jumped up from his seat and threw an uppercut. Seeing an elderly person approaching old age being happy like a child made me laugh too.

Haha, matriarch, how does your first and last victory taste?

“Haha! Hey Ronin! Now you have to relax! Even if you see it just once, the magnification is 4x!”

An excited Dang Gwang-ryeol shouted confidently, but the home appliance that was in my hands never went out again. After displaying 100 home appliances in neat rows, he stood up and said,

“Hehe, then let’s settle the settlement and leave it here.”

In fact, dusk is already falling on the ground. It was already embarrassing because gambling itself was a public affair, but it was past the time when I would normally organize my work.

The matriarch jumped up and shouted.

“What are you talking about! Hey Ronin! They say you can do anything three or three times, so you should give me at least one more chance!”

“Hehe…I don’t know how long I’ve been acting dirty. However, since the head of the house said it was really disappointing… how about five home appliances for one night?”

“No, but suddenly half of it…”

“Hehe, unlike the head of the family, I am only a second-class warrior. It’s inevitable that your physical strength will decrease.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol bit his lip at my harsh words and eventually nodded.

“Head of the house!”

“Great Lord Fungyoung, stay still!”

Lord Feng Ying could not bear it and intervened. From the position of the Great Lord of Feng Yeong, it would be incomprehensible for Tang Gwang-ryeol to keep crawling into limbs.

But Dang Gwang-ryeol has already been provoked by me. It seems that Grand Master Pung Yeong was unable to understand whether he was concentrating on Tang Gwang-ryeol, who was fuming, but I was already continuing to erode the Tang family’s reason with facial expressions such as subtly twisting the corner of my mouth or making a subtle eye smile.

Dang Gwang-ryeol still lacks lessons. An accepting attitude is important in order to learn your gambling skills in a short period of time, but what can you do if you are already mistakenly thinking that you are a gambling expert? We should send him to the abyss and have him undergo mental remodeling.

This was all for Dang Gwang-ryeol. That’s true. How can you say that being beaten by a ronin is such a pitiful abyss? Isn’t it a coincidence that having a lump on your forehead can prevent you from falling into the abyss?

“Then, please reveal your forehead.”

Bah!

Tang Gwang-ryeol, who was hit on the forehead, let out a snort like a rhinoceros and strengthened his fighting spirit, but the five appliances melted away in an instant.

I let out a huge sigh of relief and leaned back in my chair. How do I reflect this side of myself to Dang Gwang-ryeol? At first glance, it may look like your body has lost strength due to being tired from the long hard rock, but…

“Hey Ronin! Let’s play one last round!”

To Dang Gwang-ryeol, my gestures were like, ‘Ah, Yabawi was almost seen through, but he barely managed to do it. Rest. You must have felt something like, ‘It was really dangerous.’

“Hehe, matriarch. Didn’t I say it was the last version earlier?”

“I’m so sad to have to go like this! I heard there is something called a last-minute flip in gambling! I will be loaning out 15 of my home appliances, so let’s compete in one last round!”

Dang Gwang-ryeol puts all his effort into my fishing and gives me bait. Yes, actually, at most, two Takbams are some kind of abyss.

“Hehe. So, would you like to bet on 11 hits and decide the winner in one last round?”

“Eleven..s? Good! That’s exactly what I wanted!”

last round. I raised my glass.

Whoosh. Hiss. Shhh!

And Dang Gwang-ryeol’s mouth opened wide.

While I was thinking about what to do to end the day, I thought this would be the method that would give Dang Gwang-ryeol the biggest impact, so I used this method.

Strength.

Right now, I was playing around, burning my inner strength without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Dang Gwang-ryeol must have finally realized that I did not use internal energy and gambled purely with my physical abilities.

Even though it is only second-rate, the psychological impact that the current Yabawi will have on Dang Gwal-ryeol, who thought it was a battle between unmanned and unmanned people, must be significant.

Wouldn’t it be like a scene in a sports game where you think you’ve been engaged in a heated battle, and then your opponent suddenly grabs the racket with the opposite hand?

‘Actually, I’m left-handed!’

It’s true as they say! I haven’t used my skills on you until now! Receive my Jinsinjeolgi! Naegong Yabawisul!

It was clear that thoughts like this were flying through Dang Gwang-ryeol’s mind.

widely.

The glass stops. Dang Gwang-ryeol also stopped in that position.

“Please choose. Head of house.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol silently knocked down a random glass with dead eyes. Of course it was an empty glass. Dang Gwang-ryeol, who confirmed this, lowered his head.

I straightened my sleeves with both hands.

“I will go with repeated strikes. Head of house.”

There is no response, but a penalty is a penalty. I made a stick with both hands and aimed at the forehead.

“I hope that the head of the family will learn a lot from what happened today. Starting tomorrow, I will do my best to teach you everything from gambling mindset to hand techniques and how to win.”

I snapped my fingers, hoping that this Takbam would be the perm that would blow away the wrong thoughts in Dangaju’s head.

Tight! Tight, tight! Ba-ba-ba-baak! Bye!

In an instant, Dang Ga-ju, who had allowed 11 consecutive hits, tilted his head back. It was a posture reminiscent of a great evil being shot to death in a movie.

”I’ll see you tomorrow, let’s go.”

Although he hid behind Pung Yong Dae Ju for his safety, he really hoped that Tang Gwang-ryeol would awaken to his right mind tomorrow.

Dang Gwang-ryeol did not move until the moment I left Gajujeon.
