Chapter 56, DGM-
The casino was situated to the north-east of River Valley Village. It was a huge wooden house with two stories, and was also known as the area which drove the economy of River Valley village the most. The casino had the best business out of the entire village. It was reported that the owner of the casino was the mayor’s nephew, as the military never found trouble with the casino.
After entering the casino, Hank and Greedin joined Link by his sides like bodyguards.
THe casini was bustling. Most of the people there were red-eyed gamblers. 1 There was a lady at the head of every table, each with smoking hot figures and dressed in skimpy clothing. There were powerful bodyguards stationed at every exit and at places where fights could break out.
In here, prostitutes, pickpockets, conmen and swindlers in gambling; people of all trades could be found here.
Hank scanned the gambling den. His eyes swept over the entire area before stopping on a table in the corner.
Approaching it, he explained to Link, “Senior, can you spot the small guy with yellow hair? He’s known as Jimmy. It’s said that he sells information to the syndicate.”
This was the capability of people on Hank’s level. They had dabbled in this business for a long time, and they knew the twist and turns of the business. This was something that Link had virtually no experience in.
Link raked him over with a measured gaze. This small fellow named Jimmy
Tler’s notes:
I believe some of you already know…Qidian has started to work on this novel. I have no idea if it’s because of the popularity surge due to my translations or whatnot, but irregardless, Qidian has started to work on this novel.
I don’t really have any thoughts on this, just surprised that it came more recently than I expected. I just hope Qidian doesn’t poach my translations (the rumoured blatant plagiarism through copy-paste) but I doubt so, since many terms have been changed, including the synopsis and even the title. Likely, they’re going to work from chapter 1, with a brand new translator. (it hurts to see the quality drop, no offense. I think I really got the hang of this translating thing over the past month, and especially now since I’ve started improving, language-wise)
It’s been a nice road walking with you guys as translator and reader, and I’ve decided to up the ante — I’ll restart posting translations, before Qidian requests a stop or take-down from me…which is a dick move from me actually, but fuck that shit.
I’m not saying to boycott Qidian or anything – it’s not my place to tell you that and Qidian (while shady) certainly doesn’t deserve all the hate of the community. I’m also the ‘villain’ here – just to remember the original translator of this work: ChickenBakuba.
I might or might not be reading on Qidian either lolol
Love ya’ll, cya. Might work on another novel sometime in the future…
P.S. I have a confession to make, I had plans for a steamy scene between Link and Hank for April Fools
