Chapter 20 - Casino Rollout
Drystan Clifford
Another win!
We've gone to 5 different booths, each with different games and dealers and he hasn't lost a match yet.
And the money in front of him is more than I could ever imagine his IQ is.
He knows how to bluff his opponent, coax them into raising while knowing he has the winning hand.
It's... quite extraordinary.
Drystan Clifford
Bored yet?
I, meanwhile, remained cloaked and in his shadow, not involving myself in any of his games.
Summer Centianne
I've been bored of watching you gloat and win for hours now.
Drystan Clifford
Well, isn't that unfortunate.
Drystan Clifford
Unluckily for you, I don't feel like I'll lose a game tonight.
Summer Centianne
If you feel so lucky, why not invest all of that fortune of yours into a luck-based game.
Summer Centianne
Roulette perhaps.
He shook his head and collected his coin into a leather pouch bag.
Drystan Clifford
Luck-gamed aren't skill-based, so I have no need for them.
Drystan Clifford
Besides, I like to rob people blind, not the house.
I was getting terribly bored until he smiled and past me a gold coin.
Drystan Clifford
Why don't you stake this somewhere?
I looked at the coin, then smiled at him and placed it down onto the card table.
Summer Centianne
Fine then. Let's play.
He looked at me, chuckling as he nodded at the dealer.
Placing down one of his many gold coins, I then sat in front of him and the dealer dealt us our decks.
Drystan Clifford
A simple game of blackjack.
Drystan Clifford
Double or nothing, what do you say?
Summer Centianne
So if I lose, then I'll owe you a gold coin?
Drystan Clifford
No, for you.
Drystan Clifford
Win against me and I'll keep on doubling your reward.
Summer Centianne
And if I lose?
Drystan Clifford
I'll see to that later.
I then took a look at the two cards that I had been given.
However, I kept my poker face in an impeccable manor and turned towards the dealer.
Handing me another card, I took a look at it.
Drystan Clifford
Is that you?
Summer Centianne
You seem pretty confident with that deck of yours.
Could he have a 21 already?
If that's the case, then I've lost and he'll get to do whatever sadistic punishment he has planned for me.
But if I push my luck and try to get an ace, I might win...
Or so he'd want me to think.
Summer Centianne
Twenty is what I've got.
Turning around his cards, he had a twenty too.
However, since he had less cards than me and two face cards, he won the round.
Drystan Clifford
That was close.
Drystan Clifford
I thought that you'd try for the 21.
Summer Centianne
That's what you'd want to me to do.
Summer Centianne
Just because you can get into my head doesn't mean that I can't get into yours.
Drystan Clifford
Now that I've won-
Summer Centianne
By a simple rule, not by skill, but please continue.
Drystan Clifford
I get to chose my reward, don't I?
What does he have in store for me now?
