Chapter 574

【She would gain boundless wealth through fortune, yet never again be able to spend that wealth on those who mattered to her.】

March 7th: "Huh... well, about that..."

March 7th: "This is what truly shows off Ms. Jade's unique ability, right?"

Stelle: "Win every gamble?"

Stelle: "Ms. Jade can actually grant someone this kind of luck?"

Paimon: "B-but this price..."

Paimon: "Isn't it a bit too Gao Ang?"

Dr. Ratio: "For someone who has family and friends they care about, that price is indeed Gao Ang."

Boothill: "What the hell, if this person was all alone with no family, wouldn't they damn well be making out like a bandit?"

Stelle: "True, maybe this Shi Daixi doesn't care about so-called family and friends."

Stelle: "After all, all she sees is gambling — she's a veteran gambling dog!"

Seele: "I think gambling dogs simply don't deserve friends or family."

Dr. Ratio: "I quite agree with that statement."

Topaz: "Ahem... why do I feel like I randomly got hit by friendly fire?"

Dr. Ratio: "That means you were in a rush to take it personally."

Lumine: "Mr. Topaz, no need to rush — there's still an essential difference between you and this kind of gambler."

Lumine: "After all, you're betting your own life; Shi Daixi is betting money."

Lumine: "The nature is still different, right?"

Silver Wolf: "Betting your life... that's hilarious."

Silver Wolf: "Now this is a high-level gambling player."

Silver Wolf: "Their格局 is several levels above this Shi Daixi."

The video continues.

【As for Detective Walker — he spent twenty years trying to capture a wanted criminal guilty of the most heinous crimes, but could never even step on the shadow of his quarry.】

【In utter despair, he found me.】

【His collateral was his own memory storage system.】

【Soon, his memories as a detective will be erased; he will completely forget who he is, and will not remember what kind of sacrifice he once made.】

Stelle: "Holy crap!"

Stelle: "Willing to give up oneself to capture a criminal?"

Stelle: "Such righteous resolve?"

March 7th: "You can tell that capturing this criminal has become this detective's lifelong obsession."

March 7th: "So no matter what price he has to pay, he must achieve this wish."

Miss Qingque: "How should I put it..."

Miss Qingque: "The wishes were indeed all granted."

Miss Qingque: "But the price paid wasn't small either, making it hard to say whether it was worth it..."

Himeko: "Whether it was worth it or not, I'm afraid only these people themselves know in their hearts."

Himeko: "As bystanders, we cannot judge."

The video continues.

【A very interesting phenomenon, isn't it?】

【I satisfy some people's desires, granting them favors.】

【And these favors soon return to me, accompanied by greater desires.】

【And when people see others' desires being fulfilled, they too develop desires of equal measure, endless and without limit.】

【In the end, I can fish out what I want from this whirlpool.】

Brother Dan Heng: "So that's how it is..."

Brother Dan Heng: "Just as Miss Firefly said earlier."

Brother Dan Heng: "Ms. Jade is less like a pawnshop proprietress and more like a moneylender."

Welt: "Using wish fulfillment as the loan, then quietly waiting to collect hefty interest..."

Welt: "Heh, it seems this is the meaning behind the Jade Stone."

Furina: "Didn't expect... Ms. Jade's pawnshop has such deep tricks to it."

Furina: "Why does it feel just like fishing?"

Hu Tao: "I think anyone who enters Ms. Jade's pawnshop will ultimately fall into an endless, inescapable death loop..."

Lumine: "Wait, no wonder Mr. Topaz said earlier, when he was on the call with Ms. Jade, that he was afraid of being devoured clean by Ms. Jade."

Lumine: "So that's what it meant!"

Jade: "Hehe, you're making me sound like some terrifying witch."

Jade: "But in the end, all of this is a matter of mutual consent."

Jade: "I simply grasped these people's human nature — nothing more."

The video continues.

【And what I'm best at happens to be waiting.】

【So now, do you understand what you have to pay, Miss Samuel?】

【Or should I address you as...】

【The last remnant of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry — AR-26710?】

Stelle: "???"

Stelle: "No way... this is Firefly's code designation, right?"

Stelle: "They can even dig this up??"

Firefly: "Although it's not much of a surprise."

Firefly: "Still, I have to say—the company's intelligence network really is impressive."

Silver Wolf: "Play is play, mess around is mess around, don't joke about the company."

Silver Wolf: "Credit where it's due—given the company's scale of dominating the entire universe, its true strength is absurdly overpowered."

March 7th: "This string of code designation... I really can't feel a shred of warmth in it at all."

Furina: "It gives me a sense of déjà vu with Mr. Topaz's slave code."

Furina: "Both are a kind of proof that once went unvalued by people."

Hu Tao: "Warriors who defend their homeland don't even deserve a name—is that something a human would do?"

Miss Qingque: "That's just how the heartless Glamoth Empire is."
