After a period of transition, Jona Velli summoned Medusa and let her lead Mofana on a proper tour.
As for Emi, he chose to stay outside the city for a good sleep... Night soon fell.
Inside the Board Game Room, a fierce battle was in full swing.
"Pair of Queens!"
"Higher! Do you want it?"
"No, pass..."
The little boy looked at himself with only one card left in his hand and suddenly broke into a silly grin.
Finally... after fighting hard for several days, he could finally clinch a victory!
In his excitement, he couldn't help but show a silly grin very similar to Jona Velli's.
However, compared to Jona Velli's tongue-poking, the little boy Gris had his eyeballs drifting apart and his mouth wide open, letting out a low chuckle as if suppressing the joy of his impending victory.
"Jie jie jie jie jie jie~~"
While Gris was immersed in his own world and losing himself in excitement, a White-Scaled Goblin opposite him hesitated for a moment before tremblingly taking out a pair of cards and placing them gently on the table.
"Pair of Twos."
Hearing this, Gris's expression froze. He looked at the table in disbelief, where a pair of twos sat quietly atop his pair of Kings.
"How is that possible!"
Gris slammed the table in a lapse of composure, making the surrounding monsters tremble.
"Lo... Lord Gris, are... are you alright?"
The White Phosphorus Goblin spoke tremulously. Gris felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten feces, but he still forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and sat back in his seat.
There was nothing he could do; he didn't dare to actually do anything. At the beginning, when he was about to lose, he could still threaten these Dependents, but somehow, word of it reached his Older Sister's ears.
Immediately, Jona Velli gave him a sound thrashing and established rules.
"One must have the spirit of accepting defeat. Refuse any deadbeat behavior. No matter who the opponent is, you must comply. Otherwise, I will take action personally."
Since then, apart from winning a few rounds against newcomers, the number of times Gris won was pitifully low.
Seeing Gris like this, the White Phosphorus Goblin felt a bit of pity. After all, this third-in-command of White Crystal City had been playing here for several days and hadn't won a single time—not even once!
Thinking of this, he drew a card and placed it on the table.
"5."
This card was small enough, and besides, the turn after next would be Gris's.
The card partner next to him saw this and understood perfectly, immediately playing his smallest card.
"7."
Next was Gris. Gris's small face was tense, and his brows were tightly furrowed. The monsters didn't dare to rush him. After a moment, Gris slammed his card hard onto the table and turned his face away.
"Pass."
The others looked at each other in bewilderment.
