Chapter 1
A stylish woman in a black dress blends in with the celebrities, carefully observing her surroundings. Her immediate surroundings do not seem to be experiencing any issues at this time. When she saw this, she began to calm down and got her drink. The woman sees that everyone is enjoying themselves this evening. That is especially because Six Aces Casino is planning an occasion to commemorate its impending anniversary.
Out of nowhere, she heard a raucous cheer coming from the center table. The woman approached the table curious to find out what was going on. The woman was staring at the poker table when she noticed a man in the middle of the group. He was accompanied by two dubious-looking men who were most likely his bodyguards. Or his friends? The table was also covered in a large pile of expensive chips. It appears like he is winning every time.
"This is not good! One of the spectators exclaimed, "At this rate, the house will surely lose money.
'Hey. Look at that. It seems like someone got too lucky tonight.'
"Are you playing nice tonight?" the woman suddenly asked as she approached the man at the table.
"It is just that I am really lucky tonight," he said, gathering chips from the table in response to her.
The stunning woman sat on the empty seat in front of him and said, "Okay, I want to try playing with you tonight."
"And what exactly is your reason?"
"I just wanted to make my first match here unforgettable," the woman replied, removing her fox fur coat to sit comfortably. "Do not worry, one of my friends told me I was not very good at poker."
"So why are you challenging me now?"
"I want to spend everything I have tonight."
The man stared at her silently. The people behind him whispered something into his ear. She suspects that they are debating whether to accept her challenge. The man smiles at her with a businesslike expression.
"Okay. I accept your challenge, young lady."
"That's what I am talking about!"
The woman addresses the pit boss, and he walks away. When he returned, the pit boss had a box filled with special gold chips.
"I will use it tonight," the woman in black tells the man in front of her, showing him the gold chips.
She could see the man's eyes widen with shock when he saw the gold chips.
"How much are these chips?" he asked.
"Two million dollars each," the pit boss informed him.
"Two million dollars!" he exclaimed in surprise.
Because there was so much money at stake at their table, a large crowd gathered around them.
'Good. Now there are many spectators.'
The woman then moves slightly to ensure she is comfortable in her seat.
"Should I explain the rules to both of you?" the banker asked.
"We do not need it. Let us get started." The man burst out in excitement.
"Alright, this is an unlimited game." The woman replied with a shrug.
Then they started playing poker.
First, the woman won each round. It is because the man will fold his cards before she can place her own on the table. It is not that she is too concerned. However, it is impressive that he continues to smile even after losing streaks.
Just as if the tables had turned, the woman continued to lose. The chips she earned from her previous victories are now on the men's side. When she had drawn five cards from the deck, the man suddenly spoke to her.
"Would you like to bet all of your money on this round so we can leave early tonight?" he asked.
"Okay." The woman simply answered.
Then they all push the chips to their respective sides in the center of the table. Whoever wins will bring all of the money tonight. Eager to win, the man set the card he was holding on the table.
The Royal Flush.
"I win! I win!!!" The man suddenly cheered.
The people standing behind him all congratulate him. Everyone can see on their faces how pleased they are with the outcome. However, they all stopped cheering when the woman in the black dress suddenly laughed. The people around them thought she was going insane after losing so much money that night.
"Why are you laughing?" the man questioned.
"I am laughing at your stupidity, mister." She responded.
But before the man can react, the woman places the cards she is holding on the table.
Five of a kind—four Aces and one Joker.
"H-How…"
"It's my win tonight." The woman replied with a delighted smile on her lips.
The man's face was a mix of anger and shock as he looked at the banker.
"What the heck is this?! Why is there a wildcard in the deck?!"
The banker quickly explained that it is a special effect that activates every time a player enters the casino for the first time, making them feel at ease.
"Are you kidding me?! "It is not my first time playing here, you bitch..."
When he noticed the woman sitting in front of him, he stopped shouting.
'I suppose he still has a brain.'
She had already stated that it was her first time playing at Six Aces Casino. Their special effects for tonight's game will be activated automatically. She is already familiar with the rules of this casino, but she has never played there before. After all, she was just here to conduct some business.
The man, enraged, leaps from the table and grabs the gun that he always keeps in his breast pocket. His friends are also causing havoc by throwing and flipping anything they see, including chairs and tables.
As a result of the chaos, guests are screaming and running outside the establishment to save themselves.
The man glares at the woman and points his gun at her. However, the woman did not reply.
She is still sitting in her chair, calmly watching the events unfold before her eyes.
