Chapter 414: The Fugitive Connector Tyrant

A person's head...under what circumstances, can it no longer belong to oneself?

"...This is really baffling."

Annan complained.

"It's not strange at all."

Maria shook her head: "Perhaps the knowledge you are exposed to now is too 'clean'. Staking or offering a part of one's body is not uncommon in the Transcendent realm."

"... Like Corruption?"

Annan's expression turned weird.

Gambling and then having to chop off something...

"So that's it, if one loses a bet and refuses to admit it, they can entrust the 'House of Return' to retrieve it for them."

Annan suddenly realized.

He felt something strange during that nightmare at the Corruption... What if someone lost a bet but was strong enough to repudiate the debt forcefully, how then could they claim their money?
