EPISODE.103
Snips-.
The man who cut the end with a familiar hand pulled the flint lightly.
Crack, crackle-.
Soon, a foul smell spreads everywhere along with sparks. A type of poisonous smoke that stings the eyes and the tip of the nose.
Cigar.
It was a favorite food produced somewhere in the western part of the continent that had gradually become popular in recent years.
Of course, it was a pretty expensive item, but that’s about it.
This was a commercial country, a place where all goods on the continent passed by at least once, and that person was Andreas Dalton.
Because he was one of the leading figures of the Reverse Five Stars, a huge organization that ruled the back world of the Akain merchant country, and was in charge of managing this huge casino.
As this is a place where a huge amount of money flows back and forth every day, the fees paid to him are far more than the income of a decent noble family.
‘hmm… … .’
However, the expression on his face as he bit the cigar between his teeth was not very good.
It has to be that way.
“It seems like sales have dropped a lot in the last few days?”
Sales in just five days had decreased noticeably. Of course, there was no significant decrease in all five days.
However, sales, which had begun to decline little by little from the first day, gradually increased and became quite noticeable by the fifth day.
One of the subordinates waiting for Andreas’ question quickly lowered his head.
“Well, that’s because there has been a customer who keeps taking money recently… … .”
“You’re taking money?”
“yes. “There is a young couple from the North who has been going to the casino for the past five days, and the husband’s skills are truly amazing.”
Andreas stood up at the subordinate’s words. He then headed to the railing and lightly glanced downstairs.
‘Is it him?’
As he said, a young man with platinum hair was seen playing blackjack.
He couldn’t tell how much money he had won, and there was a pile of coins just in front of him. The dealer’s face as he dealt with the man was covered in cold sweat.
“hmm… … .”
He stared at the situation unfolding for a while and slowly moistened his lower lip with his tongue.
It was because of the woman sitting next to him, sipping alcohol.
‘It looks a little fierce, but… … .’
Isn’t she a rare beauty? He raised the corners of his mouth, feeling excited for the first time in a while.
Chi-ik-.
He said, rubbing the cigar in his mouth against the edge of the desk.
“Bring him to the penthouse.”
This casino is his comfortable castle.
Here he is the law and the king.
There were many ways to get what you wanted.
Of course, that was until I realized that the castle was inside the dragon’s maw.
“… … .”
─It didn’t take that long, though.
.
.
Russell put down the deck of cards and stretched out his hand.
He then pulled the coin placed in front of the dealer towards himself.
Clap, clap, clap.
The sound of coins hitting each other resonates lightly. At the same time, one more line of coin towers appeared in front of him, which was already crowded.
I came prepared to lose money, but I never thought I would continue to win money like this.
‘It was a matter that just needed to attract attention from the beginning, so it didn’t matter whether I won or lost.’
Russell raised the corners of his mouth and laughed at the unexpected income. Truly overwhelming win rate.
As if to contrast with Russell’s face, the dealer’s face turns pale as his coins dwindle.
“Hoo.”
Muyaho, who was sipping a drink next to him, asked as if he was truly curious.
“It’s fascinating. c*ck. When you bet with confidence, you will win nine times out of ten… … .”
It was a drink that Russell took and drank, one by one, as if it were his own.
It’s also a pretty expensive item. But it doesn’t matter.
It wasn’t cheap alcohol, but compared to the amount Russell earned, it wasn’t that great.
Russell responded to Muyaho’s question as if it was no big deal.
“I just figured out the rules of the game and approached it probabilistically.”
“percentage?”
“yes.”
At first, I bet a small amount and repeated losing and winning for about a day to understand the rules clearly… … .
‘As long as you know the rules, then you can fight head to head.’
Remembering the numbers of the cards that appear and predicting cards that have not yet appeared and cards that will appear later. That was the key way to win this game.
‘It may be impossible for ordinary people… … .’
For a high-circle wizard, it’s just a game of numbers and probability.
“Haha, sir. “You’re amazing.”
The dealer, who was sweating coldly, put down the newly shuffled cards.
“yes. “I’ve been pretty lucky the past few days.”

Russell shrugged his shoulders at those words and answered.
“What!?”
I brought the glass of whiskey that was sitting in front of Muyaho to my lips.
I glanced around lightly out of the corner of my eye.
‘It’s almost time for the bite to come.’
I didn’t even see Muyaho’s face, which turned slightly red without my knowledge.
‘It was the part where my lips touched!’
Rattling-.
On the Rock. The ice in the whiskey glass rattled, and beyond it, Russell’s eyes glowed fiercely like a wild beast.
It’s a disaster.
‘also… … .’
From afar, someone who appeared to be one of the casino’s leading figures was approaching him.
“If you don’t mind, could we take you to a better place? customer.”
He smiles brightly, as if he is treating a very important guest. But why did that smile look like it was meant to be a flirtatious trick… … .
.
.
Penthouse.
In general, it was a term used to mean a residential space located at the top of a building.
It is a very spacious space with a great view and can only be used by a select few people.
Such a space.
It was no different at this casino either. However, if there is a difference─.
‘It may be that it is used as a gambling space rather than a residential space.’
Is this really a space for the rich? Although it was not as good as that of the Magic Tower, it even had floating seats for moving upstairs.
Ugh-.
You can feel the air pressure changing as the floating stone rises into the air.
“First of all, please accept this. customer.”
The employee handed the two items he was holding to Russell and Muyaho.
“This… … ?”
“It’s a mask.”
As Muyaho said, it was a fancy mask designed to cover part of the face, especially the eyes.
An outfit you might only see at a masquerade ball.
“Some of the customers who use the penthouse do not want their identities revealed.”
“okay.”
Russell nodded appropriately and put on his mask. Muyaho, who was looking around at the mask, also wore it as if it was no big deal.
Ding-.
As the floating stone reached the top floor, an alarm sounded. At the same time, the panoramic view of the penthouse is clearly revealed.
At a glance, there are numerous billiard tables made of expensive wood and stone, and chandeliers made of gold and crystal sparkle and emit light.
The area is almost indistinguishable from the first floor of the casino. However, only a very small number of customers actually use that space.
‘There are only a few… … .’
Russell, who was looking around the hall, laughed as if it was very amusing.
It was then.
“oh! “You’re here.”
A man in a black suit applauds! He came and hit me. He has an impressive face, but a fairly solid-looking physique.
It was Andreas Dalton.
“I happened to see a customer playing around, but he didn’t seem to be on the first floor, so I brought him here.”
As he spoke, he even glanced at Muyaho’s body from the corner of his eye.
‘That’s roughly how it happened.’
Although Russell had read the dark intentions contained within, he responded without showing any signs of it.
“haha. “I guess I won too much money.”
[It feels bad to open my eyes, should I kill him? c*ck?]
[It’s not possible. If you kill them for no reason, it will only become a nuisance.]
It would have been a very trivial thing to dissuade Muyaho from asking him a question. I just committed a crime… … .
‘No, in this case, is it a wolf?’
He didn’t know whether he knew that he had entered and exited the wolf’s jaw, but he chuckled and pretended to be a good person.
“Hahaha. Could that be possible? There are times when you gain and times when you lose. However, I think the version that customers will enjoy is not one where small amounts of money are exchanged, but rather a wide version like this.”
He put down the stack of cards he had shuffled on the table and offered me a seat.
“Would you like to sit down first? To welcome you, I will offer you a drink. Hey, hey!”
“yes.”
As if they had prepared in advance as soon as the signal was given, a glass of whiskey, which looked strong at first glance, was placed in front of the seat.
“Eat it all up!”
The problem arose after Muyaho started drinking.
“—Yuck.”
She was gulping down her drink without thinking, but then she spit out the alcohol in her mouth onto the table.
Muyaho’s eyes then transform into those of a wild beast looking at the enemy that has invaded its territory.
“Hey male. In this drink… … .”
A voice that sounds like an animal growling.
“I know. “The medicine is gone.”
Russell also overturned his glass on the spot.
Sigh-!
The table became damp as amber liquid flowed out, and the atmosphere in the room became chilly.
At the same time, people who were enjoying the entertainment nearby slowly stood up one by one.
He then took out various swords he had in his arms, creating a scary atmosphere.
It was completely different from just a moment ago, when he was gambling and giving off a rich vibe.
It has to be that way.
‘It’s just a disguise, they must have been part of the same gang from the beginning.’
I guess I laughed the moment I walked in because I read that expression.
Cheokcheok-.
As soon as his men surrounded Russell and Muyaho, Andreas Dalton’s expression completely changed.
“It’s a shame.”
The smiling face that seemed like a good person disappeared completely, and what was left in its place was a perfect back-world executive.
“If I had stayed on the drug, I might have ended up losing only a moderate amount of money.”
“Did I really just lose money?”
“what… … ?”
The moment Dalton is puzzled by the voice that seems to say that he was seeing through his inner thoughts, wow!
For a moment, I had the illusion that the surroundings were going dark.
‘W-what… … ?!’
I felt the intangible force flowing from the platinum-haired man slowly entangle my hands and feet.
A feeling that makes it difficult to lift a finger, like prey caught in a spider’s web.
Whether he was aware of his situation or not, the subordinates surrounding him, both men and women, started scolding him indiscriminately.
“what?”
“No, these kites still haven’t figured out the situation!”
If he was like this, his subordinates would definitely tremble and collapse like aspen trees, but it seemed as if they were not affected by this energy at all.
‘Seo, can’t it be just for me?!’
The fact that he was able to rise to the level of an executive in the back world was not possible simply because he was good at using his fists.
He also had extraordinary intelligence and insight.
‘A voice as if it knew everything.
In addition, there was a situation where he seemed to attract attention by winning money for several days!
‘Me from the beginning… … ?!’
It was not they who fell into the trap and were lured in the first place, but he.
Dalton realized this and screamed hysterically.
“S-Stop!”
He managed to shake off the energy that enveloped him and dissuaded his subordinates.
Drop, drop-.
When did it start to flow like this? Drops of sweat soaking my hands and dripping onto the blackjack table.
“W-what brought you here…?” … .”
Andreas Dalton asked, unable to hide his trembling voice.
“ji… … Baein?”
The subordinates, who felt strange at the sight, muttered something, but Dalton did not reply.
Instead of responding, he just stared at Russell with his wildly moving eyes.
Russell, who finally confirmed that the table he wanted was prepared, smiled and raised one corner of his mouth.
“I came because I wanted to ask a favor to someone in the back world, especially someone who uses some power… … “I don’t know if it’ll be a story.”
“Boo, please…” … ?”
Russell’s message magic flowed into the stuttering ears of Dalton.
[I need two disguised identities that are as perfect as possible. Is that possible?]
