The Opponent

Jonathan smiled as if he couldn't wait for his opponents to come. These were the moments he had been waiting for, a table fight with opponents from other groups.

He heard that some of them almost controlled the gambling scene in several countries in Europe, of course that was not something he could take lightly. Because testing how tough they are at the gambling table is their skill.

"Don't be so cocky, Jo! You haven't played them before. It's been reported recently that they won a lot of games in Macau." Sebastian tries to advise Jonathan not to get too big-headed.

Jonathan's face immediately turned irritated, Sebastian ruined his fun tonight. He hoped that Sebastian would not have to take part in gambling tonight because there were still many other members who had better skills than him.

"I hope Carl replaces you with someone else. The members of team five don't need to play all, just me to represent!"

"It would be better if Lucien played in your place!"

“Tsk, this bastard-

"Calm down, Jo! I ​​think they'll be here any minute!" Harry said while looking towards the entrance of the room where they will be competing at the casino table tonight.

This feels thrilling, because this is the first time for them to play against the same creature as them, which is half demon.

Victor, who was originally sitting from the couch, got up and walked over to them. He was getting tired of waiting and he hoped that the people who would play Jonathan would be tough enough to fight him.

"I hope Levi can come play tonight, where is he?" Ask Victor. Last he knew, he had asked Jonathan to bring Levi along because he wanted to.

"He has other work to do," Jonathan said. This annoyed him quite a bit because ever since his defeat that day, Victor had started to take him for granted.

"Oh what a shame! I wanted him to play for me again tonight. Is the job he's doing much more profitable than playing for me? I'll pay him whatever amount he wants!"

Realizing that Victor was increasingly giving Lucien's name the upper hand made Jonathan's emotions start to be unstoppable. He didn't understand how could Victor consider him useless only to lose once to a newcomer?

"Mr. Victor, I think you are overestimating Levi. He is not that great, his victory that night was just a coincidence."

"I don't believe in coincidences and luck, Jo! He is very talented and the way he plays reminds me of someone who used to be a masterpiece in almost all casinos in America, Lucien Sanders. So, nothing is a coincidence!"

Sebastian almost laughed at Jonathan, he was happy because finally someone made Jonathan realize that at this time there was someone far greater than him.

Jonathan tried to hold back his frustration, because if he got out of control, then he would make trouble here. A few minutes later, the door to this room opened, three men entered with a dashing appearance. Jonathan, Sebastian and Harry immediately felt their power.

It was obvious that they weren't ordinary humans, but demi demons like them. They wore haughty and cold looks, as if they had already guessed how tonight's game would go.

"Good evening Mr. Schneider? Thank you for letting us play in your amazing casino!" Said a bald-headed man whose height barely reached two meters.

He shook the hand of Victor who happily greeted the jockeys whose names were often spoken of in Europe.

"Welcome, Rain! I'm glad you can finally play in Las Vegas. Don't think of yourself as a gambling master if you've never played in Las Vegas casinos."

"All this time we were just waiting for an opportunity, Mr. Schneider and it seems like the right time for us to take it!" Said this bald man named Rain whose aura felt so strong that it made Jonathan, Sebastian and Harry feel quite intimidated.

They rarely met members of a different group, unless they traveled to Europe which was the base of the Demon Bloodline group. Even though Supernova Revenge is still feared there for their dark business, recently the Descendants of the Devil have begun to take over.

They knew that a battle between the two groups would be unavoidable and even though it looked like a peaceful fight since they had to fight at the gambling table, this was just a mere warm-up before the bloody fight took place.

"That guy called Rain, he's really strong. Be careful we don't get into a fight with him here!" Sebastian whispered to Jonathan who was the easiest to get emotional.

"Tsk, they think they can beat us! They only play in small casinos. This bald bastard, he keeps looking at me!"

"I think he wants to beat you up, Jo! He's very tall, let me guess, maybe two meters. He's also very muscular like a wrestler. Maybe when he was a human he was a wrestling athlete who was killed by his opponent in the ring." Harry said while holding back a laugh. Looks like his guess was right, Rain or his real name Ramond Rawless is a former wrestling athlete who died eight years ago during a wrestling match held in England.

Her murder in the ring was premeditated because of her attitude against the harassment case experienced by a female wrestler which made her commit suicide because she did not get justice. Ramond demanded justice for the woman, but many important parties tried to silence him so that the premeditated murder that occurred in the ring could not be avoided.

Even though the organizer of the wrestling match that night was an accident, many believe that Ramond was intentionally killed to shut his mouth forever and now here he is, getting back up to be able to take revenge on the people involved in the harassment case that the female wrestler experienced. also the mastermind behind the case of death that befell him.
