Chapter 208

"Tick~ tick~"

In the deep and dark dungeon, little candlelight flickers in the quiet corridor. The water droplets dripping from the ceiling stimulate hidden splashes on the pitted ground.

This cold environment makes the prisoners locked in the cells on both sides feel very depressed, only feeling that nameless fear is shrouded in their hearts.

"Ah! Ah! Ah~~~"

In the deepest part of the dungeon, a heavy door is half-hidden, revealing a faint yellow light from the crack of the door, accompanied by bursts of wailing. The miserable degree makes the prisoners who hear this sound feel cold in their hearts.

In the room, three men sit in a group, and the miserable sound comes from one of the men. I don't know what kind of torture he suffered to make such a heart-piercing roar.

"Ah! I can't afford it~"

The man who keeps wailing has only two cards left in his hand. His fingers holding the cards are slightly pale. He turns his pair of dull and lifeless dead-fish eyes and stares at the two men in front of him with full threats.

"Uh... Brother Gin, 5 can't afford it either?"

The honest man who just dropped a 5 has eyes full of disbelief. 5 is already the smallest card in his hand; there is really no other way to release water.

"Erlang, you... good!"

Uchiha Gin scratches his fluffy curly hair fiercely, then shifts his gaze to another person in the field, the threat in his eyes becoming even stronger.

"That... Lord Gin, the two you have left, won't be a pair, right?"

Uchiha Lu Cha, holding a plane in his hand, is not excited because of his good cards, but looks at his immediate boss with a bitter face, hesitates, and asks carefully,

"."

But Uchiha Gin doesn't answer. However, from his dead-fish eyes injected with spirit, Uchiha Lu Cha sees a glimmer of hope for life, and then he is determined in his heart, pulls out the largest single card in his hand, and slaps it on it,

"King! Erlang, you can't afford it, right?"

"Can't afford it! Can't afford it!"

Uchiha Erlang, who is still holding the remaining four 2s, hurriedly nods and agrees, while secretly rejoicing that he escaped a disaster.

"I can't afford it either."

Uchiha Gin curls his lips and signals the other party to continue.

"Hehe, pair of 4s!"

Full of confidence, he disassembles the plane in his hand and drops the smallest two 4s. Uchiha Lu Cha's old face is squeezed into a chrysanthemum-like smile.

Finally, I can let Lord Gin win one!

"."

"Can't afford it."

Uchiha Gin's face is extremely ugly. The three words slowly spit out instantly hard-controlled the whole scene for ten seconds.

It's over!

Uchiha Lu Cha's eyes go black. What kind of cards did Lord Gin take? Didn't they agree it was a pair?

"Damn it, I'm not playing anymore!"

Ten seconds later, Uchiha Gin, with a black face, throws the two cards that have been pinched to deformation on the table, curses, gets up, kicks open the office door, and disappears into the dark corridor of the dungeon.

"Phew~ So dangerous. I almost thought Lord Gin was going to lose his temper."

Taking a long breath, Uchiha Lu Cha shows an expression of surviving a disaster, pats his little heart, which almost went into standby mode.

"Brother Lu Cha, have you noticed that Brother Gin has been a bit irritable during this time?"

On the side, Uchiha Erlang, who shows the same expression, asks Uchiha Lu Cha, who is covered in cold sweat, after waiting for Uchiha Gin to walk away.

"Hasn't he always been like this?"

Wiping the cold sweat on his face, Uchiha Lu Cha looks like he is used to it, rolls his eyes at Uchiha Erlang beside him, and continues,

"Didn't you notice? It's time to clear the account after this round. Lord Gin is really working hard to default on the debt~"

"Huh? Then the momentum just now?"

Uchiha Erlang, who realizes it later, touches his big head suspiciously, recalls the aura of devouring people that Uchiha Gin just exuded, and asks carefully,

"You don't think that Lord Gin became the warden because of nepotism, right?"

Uchiha Lu Cha, who has followed Uchiha Gin for many years, is now an elite captain-level figure, but even so, long ago, he couldn't see through the depth of his boss.

Can't see through = can't beat

"Ah? Isn't it? Doesn't the Clan Leader love Brother Gin very much?"

"Brother Erlang, be careful with your words!"

Hearing Uchiha Erlang's statement, Uchiha Lu Cha feels tight in his heart and hurriedly tries to stop him, but it is too late. He only hears a cold sentence coming from the half-hidden door crack,

"Erlang, your collection is gone."

"Ah! No, Brother Gin, that is my life!"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin was still eavesdropping on the conversation between the two after leaving for so long. Compared to Uchiha Lu Cha's luck, Uchiha Erlang's heart is dead. He kneels on the ground and begs for mercy loudly,

The miserable sound is even worse than the one just now, making the hearts of the prisoners in the cell who don't know the truth finally die.

"Hmph! A mere Erlang dares to edit me."

Uchiha Gin, who slipped out of the dungeon, snorts coldly, looks back at the gloomy gate, and has no intention of continuing to be a slave.

But it is still too early to go home at this time. His eyes roll around, and he walks in the opposite direction of home.

"Sigh, why hasn't the fight finished yet? The Flying Thunder God mark on little cousin's kidney is almost stacked into a QR code."

Walking on the cold street of the clan grounds, Uchiha Gin looks around and sighs in his heart. Then he counts the days. According to the normal timeline, the founding of Konoha should be this year. But his little cousin is still alive and kicking, fighting back and forth with the white-haired Tobirama.

On the other hand, big cousin, his eyes are really unable to hold on. In the past few years, his winning rate against Senju Hashirama has fallen from 50/50 to below 30/70.

This is still under the premise that the other party is releasing water. He didn't even use Sage Mode, and he rubbed big cousin on the ground.

As for the advancement method of the Eternal Mangekyo, Uchiha Madara has long known it, but he just refuses to accept it. He feels that it is power obtained by relying on external objects. Even if he wins against Senju Hashirama with this power, it is a victory without honor.

Hehe, is it a middle-school disease? Need to be shocked!

"Bang bang bang~"

Following Uchiha Gin's three turns and two turns, he finally stops in front of a rather imposing mansion, knocks on the red gate familiarly, and shouts loudly,

"Open the door, open the door~"

"Creak~"

After knocking for a long time, the red gate is pulled open a crack, but no figure appears. Just when Uchiha Gin is confused, a childish voice comes from below,

"Uncle Gin, hello~"

"Hehe, so good. Come and eat candy!"

Hearing this soft and glutinous voice, Uchiha Gin smiles and squats down, looks at the pink and jade-carved little round face appearing from the crack of the door, and touches a big lollipop from his arms and hands it over,

"Uh... Great-grandfather said, you can't eat the candy you give, your teeth will rot."

This child, who looks only three or four years old, has a light of thinking in his eyes. Looking at the lollipop full of temptation in Uchiha Gin's hand, he sucks the crystal-clear saliva from the corner of his mouth, grinds his teeth, and refuses,

"Tsk! Elder Miao is too strict!"

Uchiha Gin curls his lips and complains, but his movements don't stop. He sees him unwrapping the lollipop, ignoring the obstruction of the child in front of him, and directly puts the candy into his mouth. After finishing, he pats his chest and guarantees,

"Mirror, you eat with peace of mind. If something happens, uncle will cover it. It's just rotten teeth. Anyway, they will all be replaced with new ones. It's fine~"

"Ugh ugh ugh~ So delicious!"

Uchiha Mirror, who originally wanted to spit out the candy in his mouth, feels a struggle in his heart after hearing Uchiha Gin's words,

but in the end, the young and ignorant him still loses to the god of sugar, and enjoys it with a face of enjoyment.

"That's right. Children should eat candy fiercely!"

Uchiha Gin looks at this scene and nods with satisfaction, then pushes the door open familiarly and drills in,

"Uncle Gin, are you here to find Great-grandfather?"

Uchiha Mirror, sucking on the lollipop, asks with confusion in his little eyes,

"That's right, is Elder Miao at home?"

Rubbing Uchiha Mirror's little curly head, Uchiha Gin feels very kind. Sure enough, curly hair is a recessive gene. In such a big family, only he and little Mirror are natural curls.

"Hmm, Great-grandfather is talking to the old Clan Leader."

Sucking on the lollipop, Uchiha Mirror dodges Uchiha Gin's evil big hands uneasily. This Uchiha who calls himself his uncle rubs his curly hair every time he comes,

Hmph! You have it yourself, why don't you rub your own?

A pair of small eyes stares at Uchiha Gin's fluffy curly hair with resentment, Uchiha Mirror complains in his heart.

"Hi, that's really coincidental. It saves me from running one more trip. Mirror, this is for you."

Hearing that uncle is also here, Uchiha Gin raises his brows. He happens to have something to discuss with Uchiha Tajima. This wave is really better to come early than to come coincidentally.

Thinking of this, he reaches out and pulls a small piece of cut gold brick from the bag behind him and puts it into Uchiha Mirror's hand,

"Ah?"

Uchiha Mirror is confused, holding the heavy gold brick in his small hands, tilting his head, and looking at Uchiha Gin with questioning eyes,

"Isn't it almost New Year? I'll give you a red envelope in advance~"

"Uh... thank you, Uncle Gin."

Uchiha Mirror, holding the gold brick and sucking on the lollipop, waves to Uchiha Gin to thank him.

"Clan Leader Tajima, I can't fully guarantee success, after all, there is too little experimental data."

Uchiha Gin stands in front of the door of Uchiha Miao's reception hall. Before pushing the door, he keenly hears the voice coming from inside. Perceiving that there are only Uchiha Miao and Uchiha Tajima inside, he doesn't continue to eavesdrop and pushes the door and enters generously,

"I'm coming in~"

Uchiha Miao and Uchiha Tajima, who are talking secretly, are startled by the sudden push of the door, instantly turn into a state of alertness, and two pairs of scarlet eyes stare straight at the uninvited guest, preparing to scold him, but unexpectedly see Uchiha Gin with a lazy face,

"Gin? What are you doing here?"

Uchiha Tajima, wearing reading glasses, sees who is coming, wrinkles his brows full of forehead wrinkles, and asks,

"If there are no accidents, my purpose should be the same as yours, uncle."

Uchiha Gin scratches his head, looking at the two old men with unhappy faces, and answers truthfully.

"You also want to donate your eyes?"
