Chapter 23 Hunter
Estev had no interest in listening to Guard Goding’s lecture to the two self-proclaimed Adventurer boys.
He wasn’t overly concerned about Governor Rostov’s son. He wouldn’t lose his position due to mishandling this matter, nor did he want to use it as a stepping stone to curry favor with the Government Administrative Office.
He was Estev, the perennial Vice Court Chief of Liuli City. He refused to let even the smallest gain disturb his tranquility.
His nerves were unaffected by money or power...
Only the number five could activate that particular nerve, and the sole factor that could trigger that number was power.
Estev pursued power, but he did so in a unique way.
Unlike others who relentlessly sought to acquire power, Estev simply enjoyed challenging it.
He always combined this kind of challenge with his own luck.
In other words, he was an out-and-out gambler.
Gamblers often believe in their own luck.
Estev lounged on the sofa, the hat of a Court of Guards Chief covering his face. His legs were propped on a chest at the edge of the sofa. He looked like a drunkard after a feast.
But in reality, this so-called drunkard hadn’t even attended the feast; a few grabbed pieces of meat from the kitchen had sufficed.
