?Chapter 781:
Robin, still licking his wounds from his loss to Christina the day before yesterday, had been sulking in silence. But the second he heard Ralphy’s question, his spirits perked up instantly. “Why should I go back? I’m nning to stick around for a long while,” he said, slow and deliberate.
Ralphy frowned deeply. The idea of Robin loitering around long-term made his stomach turn.
Then, spotting the jet skis gleaming under the sun, Ralphy came up with an idea. “How about a jet ski race? If you lose, you head back to Kitaso,” he proposed with a sly grin.<fnba9c> For more chapters visit find{n}ovel</fnba9c>
“And if you lose?” Robin asked, meeting his gaze with narrowed eyes.
“If I lose, I’ll head back to Lorbridge. Fair enough?” Ralphy grinned broadly, tossing him a yful wink.
Robin rolled his eyes. “That’s hardly fair! I’m not betting with you.”
“Hey! Don’t walk away!” Ralphy called after Robin, making a quick move to sling an arm around Robin’s shoulder, but Robin sidestepped him without breaking stride.
“So, what kind of terms do you have in mind?” Ralphy asked.
Abruptly, Robin stopped in his tracks, turned around, and shed a smile that made Ralphy pause mid-step. “If you can get the legendary gambler Epic to show up right now, I’ll bet with you,” he said coolly.
Ralphy’s face clouded in an instant. “Is that even reasonable? If I could get Epic to show up, do you really think I’d be wasting time betting with you? You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Plenty of people had gone searching for Epic, yet none had seeded. Unless Epic decided to appear, no one even knew where to begin looking for the elusive gambling legend.
Ralphy, too, had always been curious—eager to see what this mythical Epic was really like in the flesh.

“Of course, it’s reasonable! You couldn’t find Epic, but my friend definitely can!” Robin stood tall, pride written all over his face. Come to think of it, it had been a while since his friendst contacted him. He nned to call his friendter and catch up.
“Your friend?” Ralphy raised an eyebrow. “Since when do you even have such a connection?”
Ralphy was skeptical. Even the Scott family couldn’t find Epic, and now Robin was saying his mysterious friend could? How did Robin strike up a friendship with such an influential person?
Robin puffed out his chest, full of swagger. “He showed up at my family’s casino out of nowhere and beat me, I meanpletely crushed me. His gambling skills? Insane. I had no choice but to bow down.”
Ralphy gawked. “You’re saying that guy from Millets Casino previously—that remarkable young gambler—he’s your friend?” He’d heard whispers of that gambler, especially the story of using cards like weapons.
“Exactly!” Robin said with a proud grin. “After he mopped the floor with me, we became friends. He knows Epic, and once I’m good enough, he’s gonna introduce us.” His face practically glowed with excitement.
