Chapter 31: Casino

Beelze was drinking a gin and tonic as he looked at the brightly lit night sky.

It was already 8pm. It was also January, the middle of winter.

However, this damn Las Vegas was loud without ever getting exhausted.

Red light, blue light, lights flashing in all sorts of colors as well as golden colored buildings, solicitors and tourists.

This western US tourist and gambling city was the same as it was in the past.

‘Other than the fact that it is a bit smaller.’

During Beelze’s times, Las Vegas had grown a lot as one of the greatest auction houses for artifacts.

That was why Beelze was very familiar with this desert city.

The World Auction.

The secret underground auction nicknamed, < Midas > started here.

Beelze was waiting in the lobby of the auction house for Depay's group to arrive.

Most people might think this was a regular restaurant, but the people with inside information knew this was the auction house's lobby.

‘Why are these bastards not here yet?’

    Chapter 39: The Bid The auctioneer’s voice rang out confidently. “Ladies and gentlemen, there seemed to have been a small earthquake, but everything is perfectly fine. Now, back to the auction! The next bid for the 1907 Heidsieck is currently at $707,000. Do I hear any other bids?” The room fell silent, a brief pause hanging in the air as if everyone was waiting for someone else to make the next move. “Really, no more bids?” The auctioneer raised his gavel, smiling at the impending sale. Beelze glanced around, his eyes shifting from Lisa to the wealthy patrons seated around the auction house. He leaned slightly toward Lisa, a sly smile forming. “My luck has been... interesting lately,” he said casually. “But I suppose there’s no harm in selling it to you.” Lisa’s face lit up, her expression almost childlike in its delight. “Really? You’ll sell it to me?” As she spoke, Beelze’s system messages flared up. [The strength of the other party's artifact is increa

    Chapter 38: The Storm [A serious case of misfortune is exploding.] [The artifacts in your possession are experiencing serious damage.] [Warning. All artifacts in your possession may be destroyed in a single moment.] Boom! An explosion shook the auction house at the same time. The earthquake was so strong that it was making their chairs shake. People started to scream in fear. The gold axe silver axe and the rope were screaming in pain as well. Beelze also felt as if he was getting a stomach ache again. Beelze had to bite down on his lips because of the pain. ‘Tsk, I guess being around this woman really was a gamble!’ Had he looked down on this future Ruler of Destitution too much? He couldn’t let this continue. He needed to leave as this would be dangerous. However, shocking messages bombarded him the moment Beelze was about to leave. [Tolerance has increased after being attacked by an artifact.] [Tolerance has increased after being attacked by an artifact.]

    Chapter 37: Right Hand 2 Beelze's expression darkened into a frown, a clear indication of his growing concern. It seemed that Depay had every intention of participating in the upcoming auction, despite the looming issues surrounding the company. The motive behind Depay's decision to stay was becoming increasingly apparent to Beelze – it had to be the artifacts. The realization struck Beelze like a bolt of lightning. Those cunning individuals must have been aware of the valuable artifacts up for auction. In Beelze's mind, the situation began to unravel further. It was evident that monopolizing the artifacts during the initial stages was crucial for these individuals. The thought of potentially clashing with Depay over the artifacts sent a shiver down Beelze's spine. He couldn't help but worry, knowing full well the financial might his opponent wielded. While Beelze had amassed a considerable sum through his ventures in the casinos, it paled in comparison to the vast resources at th

    Chapter 36 ‘This is an extremely useful ability.’ On the other hand, the surrounding area was totally chaotic because of the Ruler of Destitution. “W, where did my wallet go?!” “W, wake up! Someone’s fainted here! Call 911!” “Ack! Someone scratched my car!” “Kyaaaa! My dress ripped!” Beelze was probably the only one who could not frown in such a situation. Everybody else was suffering drastically from being around the Ruler of Destitution’s area of influence. That was why Beelze quickly looked toward Depay. He was curious if Depay would also be impacted by the Ruler of Destitution. The Depay of old would immediately try to leave this place or defend somehow, however... ‘There’s no way he knows about the Ruler of Destitution yet.’ And lo and behold. “W,what is going on?! T, the company stock......!” Beelze’s suspicions had been correct. Biho was the first to scream. A secretary whispered something in Biho’s ear before he urgently checked something on his phone a

  • Chapter 35

    Chapter 35: Right Hand. Biho had once been Depay’s right-hand man, a position of prestige and authority—until Beelze joined the company. Beelze’s meteoric rise to captain of the Crypt raiding team had left Biho in the shadows, constantly compared and inevitably outshone. His frustration had grown into animosity, a simmering hatred that only deepened with every failed attempt to surpass Beelze. Now, years later, that familiar contempt was written all over Biho’s face as he noticed Beelze staring at him. “What’s your problem?” Biho sneered. “Move it, unless you want to block the way all night.” Beelze smirked, recognizing the same petty arrogance from the past. He could already tell what had fueled Biho’s disdain this time—the number on the ticket Beelze held in his hand. Bronze. The auction house operated with a strict hierarchy, separating participants into tiers. Bronze tickets were for the common crowd—average bidders who wouldn’t make waves. Gold tickets, like

    Chapter 34 It looked as if it was their own dirty thoughts that was pushing them forward, but it was a useless favor for Beelze. ‘Those idiots, if they approach that woman like that......’ And lo and behold. The Oh Seung Woo group suddenly clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground. “Aaaaah! My stomach!” That was not the end. “U, uuuuugh!” “J, Joon Tae!” Weird things started to happen, with one of the idiots approaching the Ruler of Destitution suddenly started to vomit and seize. “Kyaaaa! Call 911!” “What is suddenly going on?!” People around them screamed and quickly started to call 911. “Joon Tae, what happened to you, Joon Tae!” Beelze could only stand there while sweating bullets. There were many ways to lead someone to destitution. One of the
