The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman

pped Dorian’s shoulder when he tried stopping him.

‘Because it was my bank in my previous life.’

He snickered and shook the flower bracelet where Wrath was residing.

‘I also have a secret weapon this time.’

He didn’t receive anything like a reward for killing his target when he used to live as the assassin Raon in his previous life.
All he got was a few days of rest, and even that wasn’t given sometimes as he had to leave for the next assassination mission right away.

Since the bastards in House Robert didn’t consider assassins human beings, they only provided them with the minimum amount of money necessary when they left on a mission to minimize their losses if they died.

He hadn’t noticed anything strange about it when he was brainwashed, but he realized that the Robert bastards were terrible sons of bitches after being released from it.

‘That’s why I gathered some money each time I went out.’

In order to find an opportunity to run away, he went to the gambling house each time he got a break to make money and hid it in a house.
It was too far away to get it currently, but he was planning to grab it when he had the opportunity.

‘Now then.’

Raon looked around the gambling house along with the terrified Dorian.
Noticing a familiar game, he went to the table on the right side.

A slender young woman and an old man wearing a clean suit were sitting at the table.
The men that were standing behind them looked like bodyguards.

‘This looks good.’

Raon watched the gamble until the game finished ten times before joining the round.
The gamble was about guessing the number on the dice inside a shaking metallic cup.

“Hah, this is why I should’ve gone downstairs.
I guess the casino isn’t managing the clients properly anymore.”

The woman wearing black dress and fox mask frowned after taking a glance at him.

“Gender and age doesn’t matter when it comes to gambling, and kings and beggars are treated the same way.
Welcome.”

On the other hand, the old gentleman smiled widely and nodded his head slightly.

Raon only greeted the old gentleman, then looked at the round.
He could hear the woman clicking her tongue, but he didn’t mind it.

“Hmm…”

However, the dealer shuddered at the woman’s reaction.
It looked like the woman wearing the fox mask was from a rather prestigious house.

“Ugh, this atmosphere…”

Dorian’s adam's apple trembled from the frightening atmosphere around the table.

“We will be starting, then.”

The dealer showed the metallic cup and dice to the three people, then put the dice inside the cup and started shaking it.
His hand was so fast, his wrist and shoulder moving at the same time, which made it difficult to even see the cup properly.

He elegantly spun the cup as if he were performing a sword dance before putting it down on the floor.
He took his hand off, signaling for them to make their bet.

“Two.”

“I’ll go with four.”

The woman and old man pushed the chips in front of them after observing the cup.

“…Three.”

Raon called the number three and bet half of the chips he had.

“I’ll go with five.”

The dealer slowly raised the cup after confirming everyone’s numbers.

“The number on the dice is three.
Congratulations.”

The dealer smiled widely and returned twice the amount of chips he had bet.

“Tsk, he’s just lucky.”

The woman glared at him while clicking her tongue.

“I lost twenty gold coins today, yet you are starting out with great luck.”

The old gentleman nodded his head to congratulate him.

“The next round is about to start.”

The dealer put the dice back in the cup and started shaking it.
After spinning it even faster and more cheerfully than before, he put it back on the table with a pleasant snapping sound.

“Three.”

“Five should be it this time.”

“One.”

The moment Raon said one, the dealer’s fingers trembled slightly.

“I’ll go with four.”

The dealer slowly lifted the cup.
There was only one spot on the die.

“It’s one.
Congratulations.”

The dealer returned double the amount of chips he bet.

“What’s that?”

“Wow, you’re really doing great!”

The woman had turned her head to blatantly glare at him, and the old gentleman’s eyes were wide.

“Woah! Two wins in a row?”

Dorian jolted in surprise and came up next to him.

“Young master, you have to run.
I’m a hundred percent sure they’ve gone easy because you are a novice.
They are professionals, the real deal! If you continue like this, they will take everything from you, including your undergarments!”

“I know, I know.
But let me try a little bit more.”

Raon smiled and bet all the chips he had just won.

“Oh, no.”

Dorian covered his eyes and sighed.

“Hmph, what an idiot.”

“Hmm.”

The woman wearing a dress sneered, and the old gentleman slowly nodded his head.

All of them believed the dealer had been going easy on Raon and that it was about time for him to reveal his true abilities.

However…

Third round, fourth round, and after the fifth round had passed, there were enough chips in front of Raon to reach his chest.

“Wh-what is that?! What have you done?”

“Wow, how did this…?”

The woman wearing a dress and the old gentleman stared at Raon’s chips in shock.

“Y-young master! Gurgle.”

Dorian was foaming from his mouth as he tapped Raon’s shoulder to urge him to run away.

“I’m pretty lucky today.”

Raon swept the chips with his finger and smiled.

H-how did you do that? What method did you use?

‘The sound.’

Sound?

‘Each vertex of the dice is worn out to a different extent, which makes a different sound upon hitting the cup.
I’m anticipating the number on the dice by noticing the difference between them.’

It was a gambling technique consisting of finding out the number on the dice by using the colliding sound between the dice and the cup.

Most people couldn’t use it even if they knew about it, but Raon was easily able to do it thanks to his advanced perception.

Are you telling me you guessed the number on the dice with something crazy like that?

Wrath gasped.
The fact that he could notice the difference between those sounds and remember them was amazing enough.

Ah, then the reason that you kept spectating the gamble was…

‘Yes, it was to learn the sounds.’

I knew you were a swindler after all! That was why the King of Essence was tricked every single time!

‘I’m not a swindler since I’m winning with my own abilities.’

Raon snickered and gathered the chips.

“I’m done for now.
Have fun.”

He waved his hand at the old gentleman and the woman before standing up.

Are you leaving already?

‘It’s because they might start picking a fight if I stay in one place for too long.’

After looking around the gambling tables, he sat at the poker table.

Poker? Are you going to scam them again?

‘No, I never scam them.’

Raon’s eyes shone as he watched the cards being distributed.

What?

‘It’s your turn now.
Go over there and check their cards for me.’

What a crazy bastard!

Wrath popped out from the bracelet and started spreading terrifying pressure.

The King of Essence is the monarch of Devildom! How dare a mere human give me orders! And you have the audacity to ask me to peek at their cards!

‘You are mistaken.’

Raon remained peaceful in the midst of the coldness filling the space.
He nonchalantly shook his head.

‘It’s a trade.’

Trade?

‘Yes.
I’ll eat everything you desire here if you help me.’

You really are a crazy bastard! Even though the King of Essence is a well-known gourmet, did you truly believe such a suggestion would…

‘I saw a bead ice cream vendor earlier.
There was a new product, too.’

Wrath hesitated for a moment.

It’s pointless! Missing some bead ice cream isn’t a big deal…

‘Two bead ice creams.’

S-Shut up! Do you truly believe the monarch of Devildom would…

‘Three.’

…

‘Four, and another food you want to eat.’

Wrath stopped speaking.
Raon understood it was time to put an end to it.

Where shall I check?

Four bead ice creams and one food of choice.

It was really a cheap price to pay to utilize the monarch of devildom.
