Knock, knock, knock–!
A middle aged man with short brown hair woke up from sleep in a dim lit room at the sound of someone knocking on the door. He quickly got up and wiped his face with the back of his hands, before straightening his navy blue suit.
"Come in."
A the end of his medium pitched voice a charming girl with waist long brown hair and fair white skin walked in wearing a fitted business suit.
"Is something wrong Anabel?"
The man quickly asked as he leaned on his comfortable leather chair and he knew that Anabel only visited when something is going on with the costumers.
Anabel didn't show any emotion on her short oval face as she locked her sky blue eyes on her boss.
"Yes a customer keeps on winning by always having aces."
"What!?"
It was beyond shocking to get all the four ace cards in all matches, even getting them two times in role is close to being a miracle.
"It is just like I said Mr. Berry."
Hearing Anabel's sweet voice Mr. Berry calmed down a bit and started tapping his large desk.
"How much did he get so far?"
"Over a hundred million dollars."
Mr. Berry's face twisted with rage and veins grow over his average diamond shaped face.
"Why didn't you kick him out when he reached five Million!?"
Even though the man in front her annoyed her, Anabel calmed down.
"The person is Ace Moonfall."
"What?"
Mr. Berry's face became pale and all the strength he had to shout vanished as an unknown fear started to devour his athletic built body.
"I know criminals hung around in my bar but why did he choose mine? There are plenty bars with casinos around the street."
Falling to understand why the most wanted person in the whole Dyke continent was doing in his bar, Mr. Berry just sighed and decided to do the right thing.
"Anabel hide all the money we got illegally and call the military police."
Judging by what the rumors say about Ace Moonfall was capable of it was the right call to let the government deal with him after all he took care of a lieutenant ranked soldier and all the third years of the Azrael Academy, even though he knew the last statement was a big fat lie to lure out Ace he still needed to be more careful with how he deals with the young man.
"Consider it done Mr. Berry."
Anabel nodded and left to the hidden vault that was behind the bar, leaving Mr. Berry to go towards the bar to look for the overrated criminal himself.
Mr. Berry reached the Casino bar and was greeted by the same sight of people drinking and gambling, but it was different from the other days he checked in the casino.
All the people gambling in the Casino were only wearing clothes that covered only their private parts as they gathered at one table were the only gambler wearing clothes was sited.
–"Anyone who wants to play?"
Ace's girlish voice rang in Mr. Berry's ears as he walked towards the counter and prepared to serve customers, but lucky for him there was no one to serve so he just stares at the red haired boy's table.
– "Since there is no one willing to bet, I am going to check in my chips and leave you guys with chips that amount to five million LADs."
As soon as Ace's words faded the whole casino turned silent and even the music in the background, as giving five million LADs for free would mean that a person is super rich.
The young millionaire kept his words and left five million LADs worth of chips at the table and took the remaining ones towards Mr. Berry's counter.
Seeing that the red haired boy was not messing around the group of gamblers now stared at the huge pile of casino chips in front of them and their minds all had one thing.
'It is all going to be mine.'
The idea of sharing never crossed their minds as greed is always the heart of every gambler and if they decided to share they would have got at least fifty thousand each if not more.
"♪...I was waiting in the darkness, to something to hold on...♪"
The moment the background music started playing, the gamblers started throwing in attacks at each other, there were no rules in the fight meaning killing was considered the first option, although that would led to them serving ten years of military services, they didn't care.
Mr. Berry felt hesitant to call security to deal with the gamblers as he needed them to hold Ace if he tried to to do something funny.
Ace sat facing the casino bar owner and Mr. Berry was the first to open his mouth.
"Is there anything I can do for you lad?"
"Too shots of your finest whisky." Ace smiled as he put his chips on the table, "And convert one thousand worth of chips for me Black Berry."
Mr. Berry wasn't to much surprised that someone knew his first name and quickly gave Ace to shots of his best whisky.
'It is a good thing that he only wants to exchange a thousand LADs or else he could have sucked me dry. Now I just have to buy time until the military police arrive so I can collect the bounty of one hundred million LADs on his head.'
Black Berry smiled as he handed Ace the one hundred thousand LAD cash. Ace picked the first one hundred dollar not which had a huge '100' on its back with the words, 'Our hero is in the sky' underneath and countless '100's on its front.
Ace put all the cash in his new phone's inventory app and took a glass whisky.
"Take one."
Black Berry didn't refuse and took a glass while Ace opened his lips,
"To making money."
"To making money."
Click–!
They started to drink their whisky and Black Berry waited for Ace's reaction to alcohol after all he had just became an adult resently, but unknown to him Ace had lived in a world where a person would rather drink alcohol or water only.
"It taste greet than I thought," Ace muttered as he pushed another set of chips towards the casino owner, "Exchange another one thousand chips for me and give me two shots of your finest gin."
Black Berry agreed as he didn't think much about it, but the person he was serving had weird thoughts.
'I want to see how long will you keep your cool look if I keep on exchanging one thousand LADs worth of chips after every drink."
