"Raise," he says as pushes 500 dollars worth of chips forward.
"Call," I said, showing that I have a flush.
After playing a few rounds with Qin winning some and losing most I've come to realize that he's a godly cheater. The reason I know this is because I've been cheating as well but he still ends up winning most rounds. Even if I want to call him out for it but I can't really do that since he is an ally at least for the moment. So I made several people watch him closely to see how he is cheating to bring it up at a later time when there aren't as many people present. But so far I got nothing, even with multiple people keeping an eye on him I still have no clue how he is doing it.
"Straight flush," he says with a smirk as he turns over his cards.
'Dammit, I would have killed this blind bastard if I could.'
"I think that's enough of these games, don't you. Isn't time to get down to business," I said as I tried my hardest not to get my people to take him out back.
"Business? I just came here for the games."
"Really," I said now with a more sharp tone in my voice.
"Yes," he answered with a smile on his face.
He's lucky my face has already been replaced with cybernetic enhancements or it would have been making a frightening expression. Seriously I have the best poker face since it's all mechanical with AI help to be able to read a person but that was still not enough to beat him.
"But I guess I do need some assistance at the moment. So why don't we go somewhere more private before we continue this talk," he says as he collects all the chips on the table and tells a staff member to change it to cash.
The staff member looks at me until I give him a slight nob and says he'll do it in a moment.
"Okay follow me," I said as I got up and started walking towards my private booth.
"Tell them to send in a bottle of whiskey and subtracted the payment from my winnings," he said.
I just looked at one of the staff before he quickly went to do just that. As we got to the booth we ordered something to eat before the staff came into the room with one of the most expensive whiskey bottles we had.
"Pretty good whiskey," he said as he tasted it.
"We only serve the best at my casino," I said while also drinking a bit.
"It's a bit surprising that you can still eat and drink."
"Well even though I'm more cybernetics than flesh at this point I still have human parts that require some sustains. But that's not important, what is important is what type of help you need and why."
"Do you know of a place called the House of Greed?"
"I'm familiar with it."
"Well it's part of Nomad but that's not the important part. The important part is that it's Edwin's safe house that he would go to in case anything would go wrong."
"And you need our help to deal with it."
"Not exactly, normally this wouldn't be much of a problem but there are two individuals that will make it more troublesome."
"And you want us to deal with it?"
"Again no after all one of the targets would be a bit of a headache but ultimately I could capture. The problem is the other individual, she is actually a threat."
"So what do you want us to do?"
"What I want is for my and your people to work together and secure this place without the news getting back to Edwin. As for those two individuals, one will be handled by my subordinate and the other by me."
"Is that so"
"Yes, in fact, she is the main reason why I'm working with your group."
"She must be quite a monster if that's true."
"Will she's something, don't really know what but if handled poorly she may alert Edwin."
"Okay, then what's the plan?"

After discussing the plan with K I decided to leave but on my way out I heard a familiar voice.
"I'm telling you Minasaki they won't find us here and while we are hiding we can make a quick buck," said the voice.
"I don't Lilim, isn't gambling the reason we are being chased in the first place," said the girl that's with her.
"Don't worry about it, after I win a few times here our problems will be solved," said the girl that owes me money.
"Isn't there a better place to hide, we barely got away last time using our illusion magic."
'I'm going to have to retrain those girls to see through illusions.'
"Think a bit Minasaki, where is the last place you would expect to find someone that owes someone money?"
"I don't know?"
"Why of course a casino," she said with a confident look on her face.
As I silently go behind her I put my hand on her head.
"What you said makes a lot of sense, unfortunately, that's wrong. Normally those who collect debts search this type of places first," I said with a wicked grin on my face.
As soon as she heard my voice she froze before slowly looking up at my face.
"Hello Lilim, long time no see," I said.
"Yeah, hi," she said with a nervous look on her face.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Just hanging out with a friend."
"Oh, what friend?"
I asked as we both looked at where Minasaki was only to see she's run away.
"So Lilim do you have my money?"
"Haha, you would hurt a little girl, would you?"
"No, but I'm getting what you owe me one way or another."
"You're a lolicon," she says as she takes a step back.
"Funny but no," I say as I pick her up and carry her over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
"Stop, let me go you lolicon! Help!"
"Nose one ain't you, well it doesn't matter you should know what kind of place this is. Seeing a girl being kidnapped is a normal occurrence here so no one will help you," I say as I step out of the casino only to see my girls with Lilim's friends with them.
"Excellent with her help you will be able to pay your debts faster, now let's go put you to work."
"Dammit Lilim, look what you got us into," said Murasaki.
"It wasn't my fault he cheated."
"Friendship sure is a wonderful thing," I said with a smile.
