Chapter 162: The Banquet Part 11
"Indeed, the simplicity of a gamble sometimes has its own charm." Kirari replied with a thin, unreadable smile.
"Very well, I agree to play coin flips. However, Ren-sama, how can I be sure that you won’t cheat? You are a Campione, with power far beyond the understanding of ordinary humans, while I am just a regular person. If you use supernatural power to manipulate the outcome of the toss, I wouldn’t even notice."
The guests listening to the conversation silently nodded in agreement in their hearts. Kirari’s concerns felt reasonable. Dealing with individuals with supernatural powers, cheating was not impossible.
Especially someone of Campione caliber? Clearly, no one would notice their hidden actions!
Pointing to Godou who was sitting not far from him, Ren said with a faint smile.
"Momobami Kirari, you must have investigated my background and personality, as well as Kusanagi Godou’s, haven’t you? There’s no need for me to explain what kind of person Godou is. This man won’t stand idly by if he senses any cheating, especially since this bet involves such enormous assets... and a human being. He will definitely interfere."
Hearing Ren’s opinion of him, Godou smiled wryly.
"That’s right. I will watch Ren closely. If I sense even the slightest bit of cheating, I will definitely expose it. After all, there’s a human being used as a bet here, even though I don’t like the idea."
In fact, Godou really wanted to stop this gambling that he thought was absurd. For him, using a human—Momobami Ririka—as a bet was a very inappropriate and inhumane act.
However, Erica and Liliana quickly realized Godou’s intentions and immediately acted to prevent him from intervening. They understood that although Ren and Godou were friends, boundaries still existed, especially in matters concerning a Campione’s decisions. Godou had no right to dictate what Ren should or should not do.
Erica and Liliana also realized the potential danger if Godou interfered in Ren’s affairs; it could easily trigger an unwanted conflict.
