Chapter Index

    “Ugh, did you see the expressions on those three people?”

    “Oh, I’ve seen it.”

    That was the third story.

    Rasha was holding a can of beer and smiling brightly.

    I must have been in such a good mood that sometimes I would jump up and stamp my feet.

    For reference, this is the beer I’m holding in my hand right now.

    You can buy it for 3,000 won at a convenience store, but if you order it through hotel room service, it costs 15,000 won.

    It was a whopping five times the price.

    Even though I have a lot of money, why can’t I just ignore something like that?

    “Okay, so sit down and eat some food.”

    I didn’t just order beer through room service.

    As I was concentrating on gambling and skipping meals, I got hungry and ordered a lot of food.

    Chinese, Western, Japanese, Korean.

    Since we ordered the most expensive food in each category regardless of genre, there was no separate course meal.

    After leaving behind the sumptuous feast that filled the table, Rasha was the first to grab a beer.

    Even buying beer was Rasha’s idea, not mine.

    They say the late wind is scary.

    After my experience with vodka, I seemed to have a little taste for alcohol.

    “I feel so good… ahaha…”

    After being told to sit down, Rasha awkwardly scratched the back of her head and sat down.

    I also felt good.

    Watching the three people’s expressions gradually change made me feel refreshed.

    Even when I took the money from those three people, the level of my justice skill increased by 1 level.

    That means that all that money wasn’t earned in an honest way.

    “But, how did you do it?”

    “What?”

    “The card… changes in an instant.”

    As expected, Rasha, who was right behind him, must have seen it.

    “Magic.”

    “Ah…”

    There was no need to explain in detail.

    When I told him it was just magic, Rasha just ignored it.

    Fraud wasn’t a very important issue to Rasha.

    What was important was that I succeeded in stealing the money from those three people.

    “Then, if you just do this tomorrow too…”

    Rasha said with a hopeful expression, but…

    Honestly, I didn’t think it would go that easily.

    “Maybe tomorrow will be difficult to be like today.”

    Because they had already shown an overwhelming performance today, the three’s suspicions had reached their limit.

    Obviously some action will be taken.

    I asked the casino to monitor me while I was playing.

    Even with just one more person watching behind me, it would have been difficult to make a fraudulent gamble like today.

    As soon as I said that, Rasha came in with a worried look on her face.

    “Then what about tomorrow?”

    Is it because I drank beer?

    Mood changes were active.

    There was no need to worry.

    “Just follow the rules. Read facial expressions and place bets.”

    Actually, I was originally more confident about this one.

    Play poker by looking at the other person’s energy and expression.

    “Don’t worry. Because I will win no matter what. And…just relax tomorrow morning.”

    “Yes? Why…?”

    “I told you, right? I’ll give you a chance to beat me.”

    I said with a smile.

    ***

    The next day we returned to a familiar place.

    The white-haired old man, the middle-aged woman, and the gangster were still sitting at the same table.

    The difference from yesterday was that they were not gambling among themselves.

    “You’re here.”

    It must have been waiting for us, as soon as we approached it, it greeted us with a stinging glare.

    Unlike yesterday, everyone looked relaxed.

    “Anyway, these people…”

    “They are casino dealers, I called them in case of any fraudulent gambling. Is it uncomfortable?”

    “No, it doesn’t matter.”

    I slowly looked around at the dealers near the poker table.

    It was done like this.

    They said they would monitor it, but it didn’t really matter.

    Anyway, I didn’t plan on making today like yesterday.

    I sat down next to the middle-aged woman and asked.

    “Aren’t you asking how much money you have today?”

    “Phew.”

    “…Key profit…”

    Rasha couldn’t hold back her laughter at my question and burst out laughing.

    The middle-aged woman bit her lip with an inexplicable scream.

    “I will turn the card.”

    The dealer handing out the cards seemed a little nervous due to the many dealers watching the poker table and the customers in a bad mood.

    At the end of my trembling hands, all the cards were dealt out and I also took a quick look at my cards.

    ‘triple.’

    The hand wasn’t that high.

    I slowly turned my head to check the expressions of the other three people.

    Everyone’s expressions were calm.

    But the inside was different.

    ‘Look at these?’

    Everyone’s desires were flowing out as yin and yang energy.

    It seemed to have gone quite well.

    “Betting Let’s start from the far right.”

    “Die.”

    I died right away.

    Just looking at it, it was impossible to even hand out a business card with a triple.

    Then the middle-aged woman next to me clicked her tongue in disappointment.

    “Tsk, unmanly… I am 1 million.”

    “…2 million.”

    “…Wait, what are you doing?”

    Let the middle-aged woman bet.

    As if he had been waiting, the gangster bet more expensively.

    Seeing that, the woman glared at the gangster.

    “What are you doing? Don’t bet.”

    “Did you forget your purpose today? Why raise the betting amount when we are alone?”

    “…Do you know how much I lost yesterday? You should eat it when you can.”

    “No, you were the only one who lost it? Why are people so selfish?!”

    “IC. Why are you yelling?”

    The two suddenly started fighting.

    As soon as the two people got up from their seats, the dealers around them were embarrassed and stopped them.

    It was a mess.

    The dealers rushed in two or three at a time and managed to calm the two down.

    This time, the quiet old man said something.

    “5 million.”

    “This crazy old man…!”

    “Oh, I don’t know, I have 7 million too!”

    “…Hey! Fuck, call!”

    “I will call you.”

    It was an absurd sight.

    I thought all three of them had good cards.

    How could it be so suddenly divided?

    That’s pretty much it.

    They were just gambling opponents of a similar level to each other, but not colleagues.

    From the beginning, it was a relationship in which there was no strong bond or sense of cooperation.

    Since everyone had a good hand, they were busy betting to make up for yesterday’s losses.

    Eventually, the amount rose to 7 million chips and the results were announced.

    “6 You won with four of a kind.”

    “Um.”

    “Oh, fuck!”

    “No, how can you do this!”

    The result was the old man’s victory.

    The gangster’s face turned bright red, and the middle-aged woman’s face turned pale as if she were sick.

    Seeing them biting each other made me laugh.

    The dealer dealt the hand again.

    The atmosphere changed quite a bit in just one game.

    Especially the atmosphere between those three people.

    After receiving the card, I nodded slowly.

    It turned out to be a pretty good deal.

    ‘Flush.’

    The three people next to me seemed to have had a bad hand.

    His breathing was low and heavy, and his expression was not good.

    I didn’t even feel the slightest desire in the energy I was emitting.

    It was as calm as a lake at dawn.

    “100,000…”

    The woman bet an amount as if she was not confident.

    Just by looking at the amount, you could tell that the situation with the loss was not good.

    I had to win money, but I didn’t think I could win much.

    “…3 million!”

    At that moment, the gangster suddenly shouted.

    ‘3 million?’

    That’s strange. It’s definitely not a very good hand.

    In that case, it was obvious what the gangster was doing now.

    Bluffing.

    In one word, it’s a bluff.

    “I’m dying.”

    The old man quickly gave up.

    And then it’s my turn.

    “4 million.”

    “I’m dying.”

    “…”

    The woman gave up and the hoodlum looked into my eyes.

    I partially pretended to be unsure and avoided his eyes.

    ‘Please let it go.’

    Did the earnest prayer in my heart work?

    The guy took the bait.

    “…10 million! If you’re scaredㅡ”

    “Call.”

    “Yes, I will reveal the cards.”

    “…Huh?”

    As soon as he shouted out a high price, I grabbed it as if I had been waiting.

    The gangster looked at me with a blank expression.

    I bit my lip and made an expression to suppress laughter.

    Rasha also had the same expression as me.

    “This… this bastard!”

    He realized he had been tricked, but it was already too late.

    As the dealer said, I opened my hand right away.

    “J flush. This person will also be open.”

    “Now, wait a minute!”

    The gangster spoke in an urgent voice and covered his card with both hands.

    I felt a strong will to never reveal it.

    “…Let’s ask and move on to the next edition! If you win the next round, I’ll give you 20 million chips, and if you lose, just give me 5 million chips. huh? How about it?”

    I guess I didn’t want to lose 10 million chips like this, so I suppressed my anger and begged in as earnest a voice as possible.

    I pretended to think about it and answered slowly.

    “Okay, let’s do that instead.”

    I raised my finger and pointed to the other side of the poker table.

    There was a steel ring there that looked like something from the UFC.

    “…fight with you?”

    The guy was in trouble.

    He looked unsure, perhaps remembering that I had previously knocked him down with force.

    Surprisingly, he seemed like a self-objectifying guy.

    Are you good at controlling your anger?

    “Who says I am?”

    I slowly got up from my seat and put my hand on Rasha’s shoulder who was standing next to me.

    “My friend here… um, my girlfriend is the other person.”

    “Who is your girlfriend…”

    They did not necessarily reveal that they were slaves.

    First of all, I couldn’t remember anything, so I said she was my girlfriend.

    Rasha then blushed and refuted in a whisper.

    “Hmm, wasn’t he a slave or a secretary?”

    The old man muttered as if he was surprised.

    “You want me to fight with this girl?”

    “If you don’t like it, you can beat me now and pay 10 million chips.”

    “…Don’t regret it.”

    The guy gained confidence again and started to warm up.

    Rasha didn’t seem to need any warm-up exercises.

    Yesterday, I told him to warm up in the morning, so he was already fully prepared.

    “How can you tell a woman to fight for you? Tsk.”

    The middle-aged woman glared at me.

    Can’t you see that expression?

    Rasha looked as if she had received a toy as a gift.

    “…I’m worried.”

    I couldn’t help but worry about the poor rascal.
