Luck is a Charm

Chapter 276: Dragon Gambling Den

"Let's leave, Lena," Zen said to her once he realized the so-called prince wasn't even in the luxury carriage.

"Where are we going next?" Lena asked.

She didn't care about some prince from another Kingdom so it didn't matter much to her when Zen wanted to leave.

Meanwhile, Zen pondered for a while as he wondered what other fun places are available in the Jade Kingdom.

"Do you have someplace in your mind that you always wanted to go to?" Zen decided to ask Lena for a suggestion.

"T-There is one place but I'm not sure if it's appropriate." Lena mumbled.

"What kind of place is it then?"

"A-A gambling den"

Zen held a gawking expression when he realized Lena wanted to enter into a gambling den.

Lena blushed as she lowered her head, not daring to meet eye contact with Zen.

Zen cleared his throat softly as he placed his finger on her chin. Afterward, he lifted her head up as he asked her in a solemn tone.

"Lena, by any chance are you a compulsive gambler?" 

Lena remained silent as her body began fidgeting.

However, Zen wasn't going to take her silence as an answer so he pulled her closer to him.

"You better be honest with me here and tell me the truth," Zen whispered as his hand reached dangerously close to her nether realm.

Lena could feel the warmth of his hand as she quickly nodded her head in response.

"I don't want a nod." Zen hissed as he groped her boob as a final warning. "I want an answer- a straightforward answer."

"YES!" Lena shouted loudly, causing the crowd to stop their action briefly as they turned around to stare at Lena.

Their expression became dumbfounded when they realized it was an elf shouting.

"It's an elf What is she doing here in the Jade Kingdom?" A person in the crowd uttered in shock.

"Shush, can't you see who that elf is with?" Another person warned as he reminded him.

"Crap, it's the demon. I-I said nothing." The person realized Lena was with Zen as he tucked his tail and ran away.

Zen sighed softly when Lena's shout had caused a commotion in the bustling streets. 

"Sigh, I said I wanted a straightforward answer. Not a shouting answer that put us in the spotlight." Zen facepalmed as he saw the crowd began running away in fear.

Lena had her pointy ears lowered down as she apologized. "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to cause a commotion."

Zen grinned evilly when Lena started acting pitiful and ashamed of her guilt.

"Aiyah, now everyone has seen and spotted us." Zen cried loudly as he asked Lena what to do next.

"We're probably going to get arrested now since an elf-like you are roaming  the bustling streets."

"W-What should we do then?" Lena asked him back since she was clueless about these types of protocols.

"I don't know either." Zen sighed as his hand reached her buttock and groped it.

Lena gasped as she tried to pull herself away but Zen held her tightly.

"It's time to repay your action," Zen said wickedly, causing Lena to sweat profusely as she became afraid of his wolf-like predator behavior. 

Sometime later, Zen surrounded himself with essence flame and teleported them away from the bustling streets.

With the essence flame as cover to block the crowd's eyesight, no one noticed he had used teleportation.

Meanwhile, Zen had Lena on his arm as he smiled evilly at her. "So Lena, what shall we do now?"

"P-Please don't do it." Lena pleaded. 

"Don't do what?" Zen asked.

"W-W-We can't have sex" Lena shouted in a somewhat bashful face. "We only just met and haven't even got to know each other yet."

Zen was dumbfounded as he couldn't believe his ears. "What did you just say?" Zen asked her again to confirm he didn't hear her wrong.

"I said we can't have sex without knowing each other well," Lena replied as she covered her face with her hands.

Zen became laughing heartily as he flicked her forehead slightly.

"Ouch." Lena squealed as she rubbed her sore forehead softly to soothe the wound. "Why did you hit me? You can't use violence to make love with me it's immoral and would just make me hate you more."

Zen spanked her butt as he pointed at the sign in the door. "Look at where we are first before you start spouting nonsense."

Lena lifted her head up as she glanced at the sign. 

"Dragon Gambling Den" She muttered in a low voice. Her eyes soon lit up when she finally heard multiple shouting of people gambling.

"Damn, you didn't even brighten up much when I was forcing myself upon you," Zen grunted as he teased Lena.

Lena ignored his teasing as she grabbed her hand and showed a pitiful expression.

"C-Can we head inside?" She asked docilely.

Zen twitched his mouth as he wondered what's gotten into her. "If we're not heading inside then what's the point of me bringing you here?"

Lena didn't wait for Zen to continue speaking as she dragged him inside to the Dragon Gambling Den.

Once she stepped inside, Lena felt alive as she took in multiple breaths, almost like a druggie would do when there are some drugs available for them.

"Oh heavens I haven't smelled such a wonderful aroma since forever." Lena shouted in joy as she glanced everywhere.

Meanwhile, Zen had his mouth opened in an O shape. He couldn't believe the woman he was taking advantage of to be a complete nutjob in front of a gambling den.

"What is with my luck lately?" Zen complained before he was once again dragged by Lena to a poker table.

When Lena tried to take a seat at the poker table, a person in uniform walked over and asked them.

"Sorry customers but are you new here?" 

"Umm" Lena became a bit afraid of someone interrupting her as she hid behind Zen. 

"I'm with him," Lena said as she pointed at Zen.

The uniform worker nodded his head as he glanced at Zen up and down. He was inspecting the clothes and demeanor of Zen.

"Have you inspected enough?" Zen asked arrogantly as he sat down and grabbed Lena's buttock.

"I brought my woman here to gamble for fun and I didn't expect to be questioned like some criminal."

The uniform worker apologized as he bowed slightly. "My apologies customer but I was just making sure everyone here is qualified to gamble here."

And he continued, "As you can tell, our Dragon Gambling Den is no ordinary gambling den. It's a high-end casino that only serves the wealthy and each gambling in this poker table requires a minimum bet of 1 million gold coins."

"1-1 million gold coins?" Lena gasped in horror as she tugged on Zen's sleeve.

She then whispered softly, "Let's leave this placewe don't have enough money to gamble in such luxury."

As soon as she said that, the uniform worker's expression darkened slightly.

Zen also noticed the change in his expression as he began laughing heartily. 

"1 million gold coins is nothing but a drop in the ocean with my wealth," Zen shouted as he retrieved a bag of spirit stones. 

"Here's a small bag that contains 10,000 spirit stones which are equivalent to your so-called minimum bet," he added.

The uniform worker was still a bit doubtful until Zen decided to retrieve multiple small bags and by the time he was finished, Zen managed to bring out at least 50 small bags.

"Do I need to bring more out to prove my wealth?" Zen asked the uniform worker in an irritated tone.

Since he was a rich man then it would only make sense if he acted arrogant and cocky that resembled his wealth. Otherwise, the others might mistake him as some miser that recently gained his wealth.

Zen's tactic works as the uniform worker sweated profusely as he bowed down and apologized to Zen.

"Sorry for the convenience to you." The uniform worker said as he glared at the dealer. "Give the customer 2 million chips as an apology for our action."

The dealer nodded his head as he handed 2 million chips to Zen.

"Please forgive our offense, dearest customer." The uniform worker apologized again.

Zen curled his lips upward as he smiled at the worker. "Well, since you apologized already then there's no need to make a fuss over it. After all, it's partially my fault to bring my woman here who hasn't seen the big world yet."

Zen then pinched on Lena's cheek slightly as he flirted with him.

The uniform worker nodded his head as he dismissed himself. His expression didn't change one bit when Zen began flirting with an elf since he had seen multiple types of wealthy people here.

Once the uniform worker went away, the dealer began dealing the cards to the other players, including Zen.

"Lena, do you want to play this hand?" Zen asked as he showed her his two cards.
