They lost five million on the first day, twenty million on the second, and by now, the chips in their hands had nearly disappeared.
Today, Rex had dark circles under his eyes, his lips pressed tightly together as he stared at his last twenty million in chips, his breathing growing dangerously labored.
“I told you, stop gambling!”
Rex’s mother stood nearby, having long lost any control over the situation.
“Rex, listen to your mother just once. Let’s take what money we have left and go home. We can still turn things
around!”
“Shut up!”
Rex roared suddenly, his eyes bloodshot.
“We’ll win it back with this hand. We always bounce back! Didn’t someone just turn the tables and win a hundred
million?”
He stared intensely at the chips flying across the table, like a man possessed.
I stood in the control room, laughing mockingly.
That person who had just made a miraculous comeback was nothing more than an ‘actor‘ arranged by Nash!
Raven hugged Rex from the side, encouraging him with a smile.
“Rexy baby, trust me, this hand is a sure win! I’ve figured out the dealers‘ card patterns, we’ll definitely recover everything!”
“We already won back eight million. We’re just one step away from a complete comeback, aren’t we?”
Rex’s resolve wavered.
Standing on the second floor, I watched them struggle on the screen.
“Nash.”
I called to him softly.
Nash narrowed his eyes: “Time?”
I nodded slightly.

Then Nash put on a black jacket and went downstairs without a word.
Within minutes, the casino management collectively stepped aside–the conductor of this “all–in gambling match” was now Nash.
As soon as he sat down, he took out a small wooden box.
Inside were chips worth two hundred million.
“Care for a game?”
Rex’s hand trembled slightly as he glanced at Nash: “Who are you?”
Nash leaned back lazily in his chair, speaking unhurriedly: “Just dropped in for a couple of games. Your table looked exciting, thought I’d join the fun.”
He casually pushed the wooden box forward, neatly filled with exactly two hundred million in chips.
‘Got plenty to bet, not afraid to lose, just looking for a thrill.”
Rex and Raven exchanged a glance.
A spark of excited greed flashed in both their eyes!
They needed someone with capital to gamble against, and this guy walks in with two hundred million, just “looking
for a thrill“? It was like manna from heaven.
Raven whispered in Rex’s ear: “This guy looks like a total sucker. We’ve won a few rounds already and our luck is good. Plus with the patterns I’ve figured out, this round is a sure win.”
Rex bit his lip, his last bit of reason finally giving way.
‘Place your bets.”
The dealer smiled slightly, shuffled and dealt the cards, and the atmosphere instantly tightened.
The gambling began, cards exchanged and flipped.
First round, Rex won.
Eight million.
Second round, another ten million.
Third round, fourth round…
Bit by bit, they accumulated eighty million!

Raven laughed with reckless delight, squeezing Rex’s hand tightly.
“See. Rexy? I told you we’d win it all back this time.”
Rex’s eyes began to shine, that intoxicating rush of winning money rapidly devouring all his rationality.
“Next round! All in!”
He shouted, pushing forward the eighty million they’d just won.
Rex’s mother nearly screamed: “Are you insane?! Do you have any idea how much you’ve already lost?! What you’ve won now is just your original stake. That’s enough, stop gambling!!”
Rex’s father tried to grab the chips but was shoved away by Rex.
“Get away! You don’t understand anything! If I win this hand, we’ll be close to three hundred million again!”
From the second floor, I stared coldly at that table through the monitors.
