Alex went to the stall.seeing the guards and the young lord the people had payed the way Alex eyes are entirely on the beast egg.
The mercenary peoples cannot help but chuckle since they can fool this young lord and can benefit from him."oh its the young city lord what do you need from the people like us perhaps do you also want to enter into the challenge in order to obtain this egg.one of the guard spoke,No there is no need for it name your price.
My lord this is a game we are playing on has to play 15 bronze coins to play. we cannot sell it to you but if you had the capacity then you can win this egg by playing the game.Nonsense what are you talking about our lord is only ten years old and how can he play the games like you people do.Since the guards has no idea about Alex cultivation.Alex used fakefate technique to modify his grimnoir in the while he concealed his cultivation.if they happen to know about it they will vomit blood because the stronger in the guards are in iron 7 stage and all the mercenaries are in iron stage and bronze stage.
The guards clearly know that these mercenaries contains spies from other provinces.Green bay province has natural protecting grounds and of its mineral capacity and land fertility many province want to occupy it. But the city lord Drake has his position in the king council at strong so they often use these mercenaries to insult them or to steal their goods.If any of the province lord is not good then citizens will gradually attracted to them but thanks to their lord he was graceful to them.

there are two persons behind him with a huge grin on their face.Alex cannot help to worry so he concentrated his attention fully on the bowls when he shuffle for one last time he moved the stone in to his sleeves.
Alex face was red with anger playing this mean trick on him.the guard pick up a bowl but there is no stone.he was dumfolded that bronze coins are his monthly wage he has to feed his family if he present this egg to the young lord he may curry his favor but was lost.
My lord do you want to play the mercenary asked smiling towards him Alex want to expose him but not to he went to him the guards place the coins infront of him.
The Mercenary started shuffling it when the last shuffle he want to move the stone in to his sleeve Alex used his physcic power to recall it into the bowl.
like a young child "Alex pointed this bowl No No this bowl finally he placed it on the bowl which contains the stone".The owner cannot help but to laugh inside he opened the bowl the next thing is the stone is there he and the two people behind him are dumbfolded.

The person is in middle age but strongly built and had a scar on his fore head.With a smile on his face he retrived a silver core in his hand but unlike every cores this is from the essence pool it doesn't contain any attributes.
My lord if you are willing to bet that egg with me and won then the egg and the gem will be yours.but if you fear then you can take it and leave.the guard want to rebell but Alex stopped them and signing what is the challenge.
Its about testing ones luck if you are truly lucky person then you can won it.saying this he retrieved a black bag he take two stones of same type which of them are black and white.

Hmm... i chose white one.
The boss place both black stones in the bag removing the white stone.Alex had seen everything using his divine vision he want to kill them but defeating them will may crush their will.
He went to the sack and retrieved a stone. the boss asked to show the stone to the others he was inwardly smiling but the next move made by the Alex alerted him.
Alex throws the stone that is in his hand and said to the boss "oh thats my bad i have a habit of throwing things when i was excited" but don't worry we can know what type of stone that i picked if we checked the bag.
The Boss face went pale he want to deceive him which costs him mostly the egg he stealed from the solar sect when they are transporting it not to cause any problems he escaped to the bay province. The gem is also an important thing to him he want to run with both of them but he cannot.
Alex went to the boss recovered the bag and flick it then a black stone falls. Since it is black it is clear that i had picked the white one.our lord is a silver hand person he was truly a lucky person my lord there is another game do you want to play.
Quit your nonsense,"Alex shouted??".i won both of them give me my prices he shouted at them in anger.he was angered because he may lost his precious companion by their deceving nature.
The boss quickly places them in Alex hand. receiving them Alex left he walked to ten paces and turning back to them he said thanks for your service but if i saw you and your members next time i will personally execute your group he released his killing intent it was so thick both the guards and the people around them are started suffocating.
He then left from there with his guards.The boss knees cannot bear the pressure and fell to the floor his body is shivering mind in disray. he stared at the back of the small child and lingering fear is generated in his heart.

(This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.
