Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Acht watched as the man named Dave started punching and kicking the other man madly. His saliva kept trickling down his face like a crazed person and his mouth spat out all kinds of curses and insults.

The two who were previously good friends turned into two enemies that will shred each other to pieces just because they lost a lot of money and felt their lives were ruined. It was indeed very ironic!

But, he couldn't care less about them as they were nothing but puny ants that tried to make it big through gambling and ended up being another victim of this addiction. They weren't the only ones that ended up like that. Millions of others that lived in this massive city were also addicted to gambling and it was not a stretch to say that they were the reason for the prosperity of this city.

After that, guards finally came to pull the two out before they could kill each other inside and end up being a scandal that will ruin the casino's reputation. They could just go and fight to death outside.

Acht sighed inaudibly and looked at the worker who didn't seem to be bothered by what happened at all. He probably saw this same scene happen hundreds and even thousands of times.

"Should we con-" Acht was about to say something when he got interrupted.

"Put a second player in." A grumpy voice said from behind him.

He had already felt the presence of this person so he didn't feel surprised. Her distinct loud voice that seemed to be irritated 24/7 was very distinct to be forgotten.

Lein then sat down on the chair next to him with the same frown on her face.

She had the same clothes she wore when he first met her so she stuck out like a sore thumb out of the masses.

"What do you want?" Acht asked as he picked a ball to start playing.

"It's none of your business what I want. Just play and shut up." She replied as she also picked another ball.

The two then chose a number and threw the balls at basically the same time.

They watched the roulette turn and turn at a gradually slowing speed.

Acht used his gravity manipulation secretly and changed the movement of the ball as he saw fit. He wanted it to go to the number he chose.

Now, in normal circumstances, he might've not used his gift with an absurdly strong person sitting beside him and risk getting busted out. But, Lein was aware of his gift and she still chose to play with him so she might as well bear the consequences of her actions.

It was revenge in a sense for Acht who was still pissed off at the way they forced him to join them.

The round ended unsurprisingly and Acht was able to win again.

"It is true, huh." Lein suddenly muttered.

Then, she stood up from her place and looked at Acht before saying.

"Follow me."

The boy didn't stand up immediately as he had no reason to follow her orders.

"Why should I?"

"You can come with me by your own accord or I will have to drag you myself. Choose the method."

Acht could hear the threatening tone she had but he was sure that she was capable of making the second choice in case he refused so he stood up and followed her silently.

The two walked to the back side of the casino where a metal door with two awakeners standing on both sides welcomed them.

The door seemed to be made for specific people such as the owners of the casino. However, with just one look from Lein, the two immediately nodded and opened the door as quickly as they could.

Then, the duo entered the door. Inside, there was a huge storage place. It was filled with boxes and containers of all kinds and had a weird atmosphere around it in general.

"What is this place?" He asked warily.

They were alone inside a big room filled with containers and boxes, anyone would feel uncomfortable in such a situation.

"You wanted that bow, right?" She asked.

"And what about that?"

"The boss told me to give it to you. Just take it as a token for officially joining us." She answered as she pulled out a box out of nowhere and opened it up.

Inside, a shiny bow could be seen inside. It was the same one that Acht saw outside the casino.

'Are they the owners of this casino?' He thought.

Logically, it is very probable since they probably had some kind of influence on this city where no powerhouses could attack them. It was basically their domain.

Acht didn't hesitate much and picked the bow before storing it in his storage ring.

"Now what?"

Lein didn't answer immediately as she picked up her pipe and smoked from it calmly.

Then, something totally unexpected happened.

*Swish*

"Hang?!" Acht made a loud groan as he felt an impact akin to a train hitting him at full speed.

He was pushed a few tens of meters and only stopped when he hit a container violently.

He clenched his teeth and looked at Lein who had her leg extended, indicating that she was the one who hit him.

"What the fuck are you doing?" He asked with an angry tone as he unleashed his aura to the maximum.

"A test? Or maybe just me wanting to beat the shit out of you for what you did? I don't know. You can blame the boss for asking me to do this." She said.

'Is she going to kill me?' He thought with a sharp gaze that seemingly could pierce through anything and everything. It didn't take him long to understand that he was wrong. The reason for that is that if she really wanted to kill him, then she wouldn't give him the bow or go through this tedious process.

"Dammit! Is this how they treat new members." He muttered under his breath.
