Noah complained, he didn't mind the additional rules for his presence but he couldn't help but worry about the stupidity of his fellow disciples.
"We know, we know. Yet, if we ever learn to do that, we would find ourselves unable to enjoy gambling anymore, we would have to find another game."
One of the disciples answered and Noah could only shrug his shoulders at those words.
They were spending time in that way only to ease their stress, the few hundred Credits that they lost couldn't compare with the loss of their hobby.
Noah didn't complain anymore, he was happy as long as his Credits increased.
"I think I found it! Zach, turn around and cover your ears, let's see if this works."
The other disciples seemed to agree with that idea so Noah simply turned and put the palm of his hands over his ears.
That made basically no difference in his mind, his mental waves were enough to make him understand everything that was going on behind his back.
'They are either too drunk to realize that this won't make any difference or they simply don't care. Oh well, their loss.'
The sound of a dice hitting the surface of the cup as it rolled could be clearly heard by him, Noah deduced the result of that round already.
'The batch of rank 4 pills and potions was found to be a false rumor too, David's group came back empty-handed.'
Noah thought as he waited for the dice to stop rolling.
David was another rank 3 cultivator that, like Clive, worked directly under Bruce.
Everyone in the faction seemed to know about Bruce's character, they would always compare the rumors that they were sent to investigate with the truth of the matter.
'Right now, David's team has been the most unfortunate, they have only found a bunch of food and low-quality wine, there wasn't a single resource on that ship.'
One rumor led to supplies while another led to a few rank 4 materials, the member of the thieves' faction had, of course, placed a bet on whoever had the best gains.
However, the last team had yet to return so a winner hadn't been decided.
"Odd."
Noah spoke when he heard that everyone behind him had placed their bets.
"Oh, come on!"
"Zach, why did you even learn to do something like that, it ruins all the fun!"
"I think I'm done for today, I've lost too much."
The Credits at stake were divided between the winners and Noah filled a few cups with his stash of Ivor's vine before the disciples could stand up.
"Ohhh! Zach's wine is back! It has been five days since I tasted it."
"I don't have much of it left, enjoy this few cups for now."
Noah answered to the excited praises of the others around him before his attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of a bloodied figure at the entrance of the training area.
The other cultivators turned in the direction of his gaze and were surprised to see the figure covered in blood that was limping toward them.
"That's Sarah!"
One of the disciples exclaimed and Noah identified the woman covered in blood as the captain of the team sent to investigate the Inheritance ground.
