Harold was upset. Had he tampered with the table earlier, they wouldn’t be in such an awkward situation.

“Master.”

The door to the restroom was pushed open, and the fourth gambler at the table walked it. He was Michael Larcher, Harold’s apprentice.

“Michael, you’re here. Did they give you a hard time when you came?” asked Harold with concern.

Michael nodded. “Yes, but Eugene Yackley had a sudden urge to smoke. Since we’re not gambling at the moment, he asked me to buy a carton of cigarettes for him.”

“That smoker is hard to beat!” Harold sneered, “Michael, the camera and human eyes are not much help to us now. We can only count on each other on the gambling table!”

Michael nodded again. “I understand, Master, but Eugene’s gambling skills are extraordinary. Regardless of how many cards I try to play for you, I—”

Harold made a hand gesture, interrupting his apprentice, saying, “No, we need to change our strategy. From now on, both of us can make a declaration. If you win, that means I win, too. Eugene may be good, but he can only stop one of us. If we know each other’s cards and play a different approach, he won’t be able to take both of us down!”

“That’s an excellent strategy, Master. How much do you plan to win from him tonight?”

Touching the tip of his chin, Harold said, “Actually… now that I think about it carefully, something’s amiss with Casper Simpson as well. Sometimes, Eugene and Casper seem like they’re working together. Well, the assets under his name and his black credit card show he’s worth at least tens of millions. Regardless of what his motive is, let’s just make him owe a hundred million. As for Eugene and Terrence, I won’t let them walk out of Horington Casino tonight!”

After a round of discussion, the few people walked out of the restroom and headed back to the gambling table.

“Where are the cigarettes?”

Eugene asked for his cigarettes right away. Michael rolled his eyes at the former and tossed a pack of cigarettes in front of him.

Narrowing his eyes, Eugene lit up a stick of cigarette and took a long drag. “Shall we begin? Let’s end the night early.”

“That’s right. Let’s wrap this up early.” A sneer escaped from Harold as he spoke.
