Chapter 70.2 Giving Welfare (2/2)
Wang Ke was astonished. The Sacred Child is a spoiled brat that could not grow up?He can’t take a beating in anything and throws a tantrum whenever he’s beaten?
“Thank you for letting me know!” Wang Ke said.
“It’s nothing. Please be careful. The Sacred Child is not one to easily relent!” That demon shook his head and went to play Mahjong.
Wang Ke then walked alone to one side, suddenly in deep thought.
The Northern Gambling God…?No!The first person who called me “Brother Wang” was the Chapter Lord, Tong An’an. The mastermind behind this whole setup should be him. He spared no cost just to generate a grudge between the Sacred Child and me?
To what end?
Wang Ke felt that he was in a deep crisis.
On the other hand, the demons’ eyes were filled with envy, especially Zhu Yan’s, who was looking at the mountain of stacked boxes of blood essence and the Sacred Child’s storage bangle which had goods of equal value. All of this was enticing the former emperor.
Why did this happen? Weren’t you setting up a trap for Wang Ke? You call this a trap? You dragged the Sacred Child away even before he fully exploded! This is like giving Wang Ke welfare benefits instead! Zhu Yan roared in his heart.
Why?Why?It’s been days since I last had blood essence; I haven’t even gotten a single drop! And yet Wang Ke has a pile of it right next to him?
I don’t even have money to even sit at the table! I worked so hard, borrowing some money to sell tea eggs so I could earn some money. But just when I was ready to win big time… I lost everything in my first game.And now I need to continue cooking tea eggs?
“Freaking hell! You’re nuts! The whole lot of you!” Zhu Yan cursed in the direction the Northern Gambling God took as he left.
Wang Ke was still ignorant about the goal of Tong An’an’s schemes, Zhu Yan being even worse off. This is so unfair!Why! I was locked into the prison together with Wang Ke. Why has he made that much money… I can only cook tea eggs while watching all of you play?Why!

On the Divine Dragon Island, in a great hall.
Tong An’an sat on his armchair with a wine glass in his hand.
“Chapter Lord, there were some hiccups in the execution, but everything went according to your plan!” the Northern Gambling God reported respectfully.
Tong An’an took a sip of blood essence and nodded in satisfaction.
“Wang Ke and the Sacred Child now have a grudge. It was witnessed by lots of people!” the Northern Gambling God continued.
“Yeah, the Demon Sovereign is the Sacred Child’s backer. Who would dare to provoke him? Ordinary disciples have to make detours whenever they see him, no matter how much they look down on him. Regardless of how big a temper they have, they have to humor the Sacred Child, even me! Even I have to play along! Only the newcomer Wang Ke is unaware about the situation!” Tong An’an chuckled coldly.
“Wang Ke did try to avoid being at odds with the Sacred Child, but we took the Sacred Child away in time!” said the Northern Gambling God.
“Wang Ke is a smart man; too bad he ended up visiting the Divine Dragon Island. Zhu Yan is the Parlor Lord’s grand-nephew, so he’s not a suitable target. Only Wang Ke can be used. He made a great contribution, while he’s not in the Parlor Lord’s good books. He’s the perfect target!” Tong An’an said with great satisfaction.
“It was all too risky! Wang Ke’s purse grew bigger again!”
“Risky? Humph, didn’t you say Wang Ke’s ego was bursting? That he’d surely be eager to play with the Sacred Child? Had Zhu Yan not goaded him, the whole plan would have failed!” said Tong An’an with angry eyes.
“I… I apologize for my blunders! But Wang Ke fell into the trap nevertheless!” Northern Gambling God did his best to plead for his own case.
“And what if he didn’t?” Tong An’an asked in a threatening tone.
“I would have surely eliminated him in secret if he refused to play. Then I would have snatched back all the money and blood essence he won! I will not let the Chapter Lord’s money be lost!” The Northern Gambling God expressed his determination.
“Humph! Do you think I wouldn’t have acted personally to get my money back? What I’m saying is that, had Wang Ke ultimately refused to play, all our plans would have been rendered moot; we would have been turned into a laughingstock!” Tong An’an clarified his words.
“Understood. I deserve death because of my failure!”
“He fell into the trap? Just gambling with the Sacred Child was already enough to generate a grudge between the two of them. If Wang Ke would have lost money, he certainly would have taken it to heart and found an opportunity to kill the Sacred Child to snatch back his money, right?” Tong An’an seemed pleased.
“Yes, the Chapter Lord is right. Wang Ke would have killed the Sacred Child after losing his money! And if Wang Ke won, the Sacred Child would remember the grudge and would privately argue with Wang Ke, with the latter killing the brat,” the Northern Gambling God explained and laughed.
“Yeah, no matter if Wang Ke won or lost, he would end up killing the Sacred Child. Oh… The Sacred Child died such a miserable death!” Tong An’an raised his cup, really pleased with himself.
The Northern Gambling God added, “The Chapter Lord has a flawless plan. Everyone will surely push the blame of the Sacred Child’s death toward Wang Ke tomorrow! Everyone will think that Wang Ke was the murderer! By then they will clamor, fetching the Chapter Lord to go and personally to capture Wang Ke, to then be executed to avenge the child’s death!”
“Good. Hahaha, hahaha! Tomorrow, I shall avenge the Sacred Child! So, both of you know what to do tonight, right?” Tong An’an looked at the Northern Gambling God with a smile.
“Yes, Chapter Lord. Everything is going according to plan. The Sacred Child will die in the prison complex tomorrow. Chapter Lord, we’ll pray for your timely arrival to uphold justice!” the Northern Gambling God replied respectfully.
“Hahahaha!” Tong An’an burst out laughing. He was more than pleased.
