Chapter 113: Chapter 30: Queen of the Night 2 [6 Updates]
Why does Van Helsing know a High Tier Vampire running a brothel?
Alright.
That’s actually not that surprising.
Because Van Helsing’s favorite things are Gwent Card and visiting brothels. He was probably a playboy in his youth. As for why the Demon Hunter didn’t start a fight with the vampires, the reason is simple; as Van Helsing said, they are not heroes, just a bunch of experts dealing with monsters.
Before they arrived, Van Helsing mentioned that this brothel is quite special.
The vampires here, in addition to the required monetary payment, charge a bit of blood as compensation after the service.
This is also why there aren’t many clients here.
After all, there aren’t many men who are not afraid to die; most men are too scared to come here for entertainment, even though the vampires here won’t take anyone’s life. Van Helsing’s past must’ve been very interesting; otherwise, he couldn’t have been acquainted with a High Tier Vampire.
In the hall.
Su Ziyu looked at the vampires who were evidently very interested and gathered around after hearing Van Helsing’s words. He cautiously stepped back two paces. Although their strength couldn’t compare to Anirella from earlier, being surrounded by five or six vampires still made Su Ziyu quite tense.
Yeah.
They won’t kill you, at most just leave you half-dead.
Seeing that these vampires were about to surround him, Su Ziyu suddenly had a bright idea and said: "How about a game of Gwent Card?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The vampires who had been ready to pounce suddenly stopped, and then a vampire with a rather innocent look sat down opposite Su Ziyu, slapped her hand on the table with a commanding presence, and said, "Bring it on."
"However."
At this moment, a sensuous-looking vampire beside her said playfully, "We have to up the stakes a bit."
"What are we betting?" Su Ziyu’s expression became gradually serious as he asked.
At this time, another vampire sat opposite Su Ziyu. Looking at him, she couldn’t help but lick the corner of her mouth with her tongue, grinning mischievously, "Your blood."
"We all want a taste."
"How about it?"
These stakes are quite high.
Looking at the six eager vampires in front of him, Su Ziyu frowned slightly and asked solemnly, "And what about you? What’s your stake?"
"Us? Hehe!" The vampires in front of him giggled, swaying with laughter. Then someone said, "If we lose, we’ll treat you like a king tonight!"
This won’t do.
Wouldn’t I be losing out!
Su Ziyu shook his head decisively and said, "No way. Let’s change the bet."
These vampires didn’t seem to expect Su Ziyu to refuse so flatly; they exchanged surprised glances before the innocent-looking vampire asked, "Then what do you want as the stake?"
"I’m someone who prefers money," Su Ziyu thought seriously and said, "If I win."
"Each of you gives me the most valuable thing you have on you."
Hearing Su Ziyu’s words, the vampires all looked quite stunned.
This guy was not satisfied with freeloading; he even wanted to win money from them.
"Bring it on then," said the innocent-looking vampire again. She seemed to have a big addiction to cards and was very confident, her expression fiercely determined: "Best two out of three."
"If you lose, fill up this cup."
"If you win, we’ll give you the most valuable thing on us."
Clang.
A large gold-plated goblet was placed on the table.
The human servant standing nearby was almost dumbfounded. He had worked at the Queen of the Night for a long time and had never seen a guest like Su Ziyu, who dared to play like this. Usually, most clients were those who didn’t want to pay any extra after their service, and their ends were often quite miserable because these vampires weren’t to be trifled with.
This Queen of the Night brothel holds a special status in the City of Freedom.
And so.
An epic game of Gwent Card began in the hall of the Queen of the Night brothel.
Su Ziyu’s first opponent was the innocent-looking vampire, who stormed onto the stage. Her face grew paler and paler, and she looked quite frustrated as she scratched her head and muttered: "What’s going on? Why is my luck so bad today?"
Three minutes later.
The first vampire was defeated.
The second opponent was the sensuous-looking vampire, who was also brimming with confidence, sitting across from Su Ziyu rudely and said, "Demon Hunter! Ready to taste the bitterness of defeat?"
Five minutes later.
This vampire too left the table with a pale face, muttering: "No! Why is my hand so unlucky today?"
The verdict was in.
Su Ziyu smiled as he put down his cards, saying slowly, "Looks like I won."
He pushed the large gold-plated goblet toward the vampires with a silent smile.
Clink, clank.
Although they looked quite unwilling, the vampires reluctantly took off their most valuable jewelry and tossed them one by one into the gold-plated goblet.
"No!" The innocent-looking vampire slapped the table, stood up angrily, and said, "We’re not satisfied! Let’s go again!"
Su Ziyu glanced at her unhurriedly and said calmly, "Fine."
"But my stake remains whatever you already put in. If you lose, you’ll still have to put a piece of your most valuable item on the table."
The vampires exchanged a look, then said in unison: "Deal!"
Although the bet was no longer Su Ziyu’s blood, these vampires refused to give up and wanted to win back what they lost.
One and a half hours later.
When Van Helsing and Anirella entered, the table in front of Su Ziyu was already piled like a small mountain. Opposite him sat a group of pale yet stubborn and defiant vampires.
Anirella looked extremely surprised, while Van Helsing had the look of someone enjoying the show.
"Let’s call it a day," Su Ziyu said, noticing that they had concluded their matters. He put down his cards and stood up, adding, "I’ll leave these things with you for now."
"Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to win back."
"We’ll continue next time I come around."
With that, he stood up and left the ’Queen of the Night’ brothel with Van Helsing without looking back.
Left behind him was a group of vampires with complex expressions. Each retrieved the items they had lost, while some scantily-clad vampires put back on the things they lost.
"This Demon Hunter is quite interesting!" Anirella remarked as she watched Su Ziyu and Van Helsing leave.
She smiled mysteriously and turned to the vampires, saying, "Close up."
"We’ve got a big business deal next."
