A Million Gold Worth

The next day, tailors and designers visited the mansion for Kali's dress. The dress should've been customized like Tami and Rissa suggested but Kali doesn't mind being ready to wear a dress for convenience and her family told her to do what she wants. It disappointed her maids but they couldn't do anything so when they were left alone with the tailors, Tami and Rissa took the initiative to select the dress since Kaleena all ever said it is. . .

" I want lightweight and not wide. No excessive ribbons, lace or floral design "

The devastated Tami and Rissa decided to scheme behind Kali with the designer. A customize ready to wear dress.

Kali is exhausted trying dresses all day. At the end of the day, after she tried several dresses, she left the decision to her maids and told them to not disturb her until tomorrow morning.

After closing her bedroom door. Vico, wearing all black attire, showed himself in the dark corner of the room.

'Can't get used to that.'

"I brought the things you requested." He dropped all the formalities and Kali didn't mind.

"Thanks."

Kali changed her clothes into a man's clothing black overalls with black waistbands that cover her curves. Her chest is tightly bandaged and the boots that were made to increase her height. All her skin is covered except her face. She pulled her hair in a tight bun and covered it with a hooded black cloak. She now can be mistaken for a man.

"Let's go." Kali said.

They jumped out of the 2nd floor window and landed safely.

The capital at night is lively and full of lights. There are lots of restaurants , pubs and shops open.

There is a middle section and an upper section in the capital. In the upper section, the lights are much brighter and the architecture of buildings and houses are high and not comparable in the South's town.

"So this is Millano Capital." She carefully looked around.

"This way."

They turn to one street and arrive at their destination. The flamboyant and attention getter building. The Casino.

Kali opened her inventory and pulled out white mask with a heavy tinted black screen in its eye. It was a common mask that can be bought in the marketplace but at least compared to the keeper's masks with heavy duty glue and self destruct features, hers is regular and safe.

Vico also puts on the same regular mask before they enter.

"Excuse me Milords. Can I see your pass?" The guard is holding a small box item emitting purple light.

'Code Reader? He looks like a commoner and there's no way a noble person will guard a casino.'

"Can I see your pass? My. Lords!" The guard repeat his words with hint of impatience

The guard was handed a pouch full of gold coins. His eyes sparkled.

'The Casino is full of aristocrats, for a commoner to have a Artificial Code Reader, Nobles can rest easy that their information won't be read because. . . if a commoner or lower ranking nobles tried to read a code of someone higher than them

~ Code Information Screen ~

[Unable to read due to lack of 'Authority']

. . . that will be seen in the screen or item'

"You are not allowed to enter until I see your pass or your code." He cleared his throat and threw it back to Vico.

Kali squinted her eyes and put her hand on Vico's shoulder. He steps back and moves over to make way for Kali.

Kali reaches for the guard's shoulder and taps it lightly before she grip his shoulder blades.

*Hiiik*

The guard flinched and supported his failing legs by grabbing onto the railing on his side.

"Move." Kali said in a very low husky voice as she tightened her grip on the guard's shoulder.

"I apologize to my Lords! He just started a few days ago. This way please." The man behind the Code Reader Item - Crystal ball politely intervenes and guides them inside.

"You should have just taken the gold." Kali whispered as he passed the groaning guard.

"I hope he didn't offend you too much. "

". . ."

"Welcome to Lotus Casino. May your evening be full of luck. " He bowed down as open the inner door of the casino.

The casino has a high ceiling filled with white and yellow lights. The air both smells sweet with a strong flower scent. People are busy enjoying themselves in different sections of games. It is filled with well dressed people, some are entertainers, dealers but majority are aristocrats who hide their identity with colorful masks.

Kali and Vico were welcomed by other employees at the entrance.

"Our master wishes to see you. Will you come with us? "

'hmmm.' Kali side glances at the man who guided them earlier.

"Lead the way."

They went to the third floor and were led to a dim light room with a luxurious layout and filled with a velvet texture. Looking ahead, There is a large glass window which gives a good view of casino dealings below.

"Please wait here, Would you like some tea while waiting?"

". . ."

"Then I'll serve you some tea." The servant bowed politely and left the room without delay. He closed the door quietly after him.

Kali is avoiding speaking as much as possible. It is hard to keep her voice sound naturally low and husky. She looked at the opposite side outside the glass and saw an identical glass window but it's a normal glass mirror. The same goes to other glass windows from other floors.

'Two way mirrors!'

*click*

The door opened and a bald old man with a long curly mustache entered. He is obviously flaunting his riches with shining colorful rings in his ten fingers and high quality colorful clothing. He entered together with five tough looking men wearing black glasses.

"Good evening Dear Customers, I am Feyawi Grofitocho. The owner of Lotus Casino."

". . ."

*Shiiiiiiik* Clang*

Heavy metal walls dropped around and covered the whole room. The mirror wall was also blocked making the room darker.

"Once in a while we get customers like you who like to cause trouble. . . Now, What business do you have with my Casino? "

Feyawi looked at Vico and Kali. One has a faint mana presence and the other has no mana presence at all. He received a report that someone is causing ruckus at the entrance but has an incredibly weak mana presence.

'. . . they look dangerous.' his assistant said to him. He looked at them from head to toe.

'What part of them is dangerous? . . . Did they lose their money here? tsk tsk. . . sore losers. I should just kill and throw them or should I just bury them alive?' Feyawi thought, clicking his tongue.

Kali ignores the smiling Feyawi as she turns and knocks the metal walls. 'He trapped us.'

"Dear Customer, it's useless to try getting out of there. Those walls are made in Gresha Metal Stone, manas won't work and it was reinforced using Ogre Kings harden skin. . . blah blah blah."

'...!' Kali smiles a little and she looks at the calm Vico in the corner.

"Make sure nobody gets out."

"Huh?! What did you say? Of course you are not getting out here Bwahahaha. at least not alive." Feyawi massaged his mustache.

"The only exit here is this door right here--- what are you do--"

*BAAAAAAAAAAAAM*

".....!!!!!!" Feyawi dropped his heart. Kali made a dent in the metal wall. The Grisha metal stone has the ability to absorb mana but his uninvited guest made a dent to it. Feyawi look around to see for mana sparks but he didn't see a speck of mana dust.

'Did he do it wi-wi-without mana?!!!'

"It's hard. Ogre King Skin huh?" Kali said as she circled her wrist around and cracked her fingers.

[Ogre Slayer]

Description:

Using this title will give 20% more attack power against the Ogre's race.

Kali knows how tough their skin is since she spent incredible hours of time killing them.

"Lift this up." Kali said in a cold voice while she tapped the solid metal wall.

'I hate enclosed space.' Kali's heart starts to beat fast.

"WHA-WHA-WHAT ARE STILL DOING? KILL THEM!!!!"

Kali frowned under her mask.

*Thud* Thud* Thud* Thud* Thud

One by one the body guards dropped on the floor. Feyawi forgot to breathe. His bodyguards were former mercenaries specializing in killings but not a single one was able to put up a fight. They were knocked out cold in an instant.

Kali taps the metal wall once again. Feyawi's mind returned to his situation. Not a single body guard left standing.

Feyawi starts to sweat profusely. He started backing down to the door. When the masked Kali looked at she pointed at the metal wall with her thumb.

"Lift it up."

Feyawi reached in his pocket slowly and pressed the button. The metal wall slowly lifts up and the two mirrors begin to show and light the dark room.

Kali moved to the couch and comfortably sat down.Vico returned to her side without single injury.

"Sit." Kali commanded as she sat down on the couch.

Feyawi flinched and stared at the masked visitor sitting at his couch.

"Don't make me repeat myself. Sit"

"Ekk! -- Wha-what do you want?" He shakingly proceeded to sit in front of them.

Kali threw the gold bars into the table.

"Information"

"What kind of informa--- haaa. Do you also want information about Alexander's daughter? It hard to know anyt----"

"Should I just kill you?"

"De-dear customer, Yo-you can-can't do this to me!! If I tell this ---"

"How can the dead talk?"

"Hiiik!"
