My Girlfriend's Family Is Gambling for My Life Chapter 8
"Hehe. It's too late for you to realize that now."Eva's face suddenly twisted, her skin peeling away piece by piece, revealing a wooden statue of a demon with a blue face and bared fangs.Lucy smiled coldly. "Oh, forgot to tell you. I'm the one behind every deal tonight. Want to back out? It's too late." She leaned back against the chair, waiting to admire the desperation on my face.But I just laughed lightly and flicked the card between my fingers. Then I raised my hand and played it.Slap!A red card.It landed on the table with an unusually loud sound in the dead silence. Then a blinding red light burst from the card.The cold, suffocating atmosphere around the poker table melted away, and the demon statue let out a piercing shriek, its colors rapidly fading until it turned ashen gray."What's going on?" Lucy shot to her feet, knocking her chair over.Zayn panicked too. "How could the red card… This is impossible!"Lucy stepped forward, her gaze darkening. "Milo, I've

The tenderness on Lucy's face had completely faded, leaving only cold indifference she didn't even bother to hide. "Zayn, shut up. Isn't it better to let him die in ignorance, still clinging to his beautiful fantasies?"My heart felt like it had been plunged into ice water, and the last of my wishful thinking shattered.As it turned out, there really wasn't a single good person here.I had to run! Immediately!I moved to stand up, but it felt like my legs were nailed to the spot. An unseen, tremendous force pinned me down by the shoulders, restraining me against the chair."Oh, want to escape?" Eva laughed, her voice light, but it sent a chill down my spine. "It's too late. The final three rounds are for soul extraction. Once they start, no one can stop them. This is the first round. Just two more, and the life swap will be complete!"Her words had barely left her mouth when the game began by itself. I pressed my hand down hard, refusing to draw a card. But the cards kept moving

I yanked Lucy, who wanted to step out, back and asked, "Is there really no other way? Do we really have to trade our lives? Isn't there any way we can do this without hurting someone?"Lucy looked back at me, deep sadness in her eyes. "Milo, nothing will work. I can't stop my mom from doing what she wants. I'm sorry for dragging you into this. But don't be scared. No matter what, I'll help you escape safely tonight. Then I'll leave you enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life."I knew asking more would be pointless. I was powerless to do anything about the situation. I could only get through the game and figure things out after I got out of here.When we got back to the table, Eva watched us more closely. Zayn's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly looked down and busied himself with arranging the cards to hide it.The game continued, and this time, I stopped playing cards to help anyone else and focused on my own game.I touched the pendant on my ch
My Girlfriend's Family Is Gambling for My Life Chapter 5
Someone grabbed my wrist hard. The protective charm fell onto the floor with a sharp crack.I jerked my eyes open, terrified.Lucy was standing in front of me. Her face was livid as she glared at me, then at the protective charm on the floor. "Where the hell did you get that thing?"She yanked me aside so hard that I stumbled. "There's a soul-eating demon inside that thing, and you were chanting a summoning spell at it. Are you trying to get yourself eaten alive?"My throat tightened. No words came out of my mouth."If it possesses your body, it'll never leave! And then you'll never be yourself again!"I looked at her rage-twisted face, my mind blank.She asked hoarsely, "Did someone tell you all this nonsense? Was it Zayn? What did he tell you?""It was… the chips." My lips trembled. "The chips on the table… turned into bones."Lucy's expression stiffened. Her voice was dry. "You can see them?""Zayn told me… this was a life-swapping ritual." I looked into Lucy's eyes. "He s

My hand trembled, and the two cards in front of me toppled over with a clatter. Immediately after, a whole row of cards on Lucy's side tumbled down too.But I didn't even touch her cards."Oops, what a mess." Eva immediately reached out to gather the cards, her tone lighthearted. "This game doesn't count. Let's start again.""Milo!" Zayn suddenly raised his voice, his face flushing red. "How could you be so careless? That was the last hand I needed!"His reaction was way over the top. He had already won five games in a row. Was this one last game really that important?Eva cleared her throat, and Zayn immediately shut up. He forced a smile. "I'm sorry, Milo… I really wanted to win, so I lashed out."Though his words were apologetic, a flash of undisguised malice crossed his eyes.A cold sweat broke out across my back.Just then, the voice from the protective charm suddenly sneered in my ear. "You idiot, he was doing a ritual to steal your luck. If he wins six times in a row, no
My Girlfriend's Family Is Gambling for My Life Chapter 3
I suddenly remembered that when I first met Lucy, she was known in school as the ice queen, keeping everyone at arm's length. A guy as ordinary as me would never have caught her attention.But everything changed after I joined the mountain-climbing trip she organized for the club.I sprained my ankle then, and she helped me to the lounge to rest. While I was changing, my shirt slipped down, giving her a glimpse of the red birthmark on my left shoulder.She paused.Lucy must have seen my birthday on the club profile because, from that day on, she started asking me out to dinner, sending me good-morning and good-night messages, and even looking at me with a burning intensity.This New Year, she even held my hand and practically begged me, "Milo, my mom isn't in great health, and she has always wanted to see you. Come and spend time with me, okay?"I'd lain awake at night more times than I could count, wondering how someone as dazzling as her could ever choose an ordinary guy like m
