Chapter 51 – Episode 51 – Masquerade (2)

A night covered in pitch-black darkness.

I see a building with flashing blue lights trying to show off its existence by dispersing the quiet yet cozy darkness.

That towering building, which is enormously large and spreads countless lights, is the revealed part of the ‘Masquerade Ball’ where the chairman and I will arrive today.

A pitch-black limousine stopped in front of the road in front of the casino, boasting a glistening appearance with the glittering light emitted from the casino.

“Emmena.”

I unknowingly spat out words mixed with amazement.

I had only been told that the world rich people live in was different, but when I saw it with my own eyes like this, I felt that the words were accurate.

A row of glossy foreign cars lined up in front of the casino entrance.

And it was a really fresh shock to me to see the casino employees dressed in suits as if it were natural for them to open the door and escort them.

Jump.

As the car in front left and our turn approached, the casino staff came up to us on both sides and opened the door to greet us.

“Welcome to the Masquerade.”

Employees are also dressed in suits and masks.

Not only the staff, but everyone including us are wearing luxurious clothes and masks.

Are you excited about something?

The corners of his mouth went up at the atmosphere of this place, which seemed to be far from the world.

The chairman gracefully walked toward me holding the staff member’s hand and I gracefully stepped back and handed the chairman a hand.

“My lady, shall we go?”

It’s kind of cheesy, but it doesn’t matter here.

It was a place so far away that even this kind of behavior seemed very common sense in this place where you were wearing luxurious clothes and masks in a dazzling building.

The chairman laughed at my appearance and gently placed his hand on top of me with an elegant gesture.

“Yes, my love.”

By the way, the president and I have changed a bit.

Before coming to the masquerade, I changed my eye color and hair color to the president’s face so that it would not be easy for me to grasp the true face of the president.

The president has black hair and red eyes.

I’m blonde by the wall.

My changed appearance was a bit awkward because I put a Western look on the face of an Asian, but the president wasn’t like that at all.

With black hair and red eyes on the alluring western beauty body with bursting breasts and hips to legs, something akin to a nine-tailed fox oozing out.

He is wearing a fox mask, so whenever I see the bright red eyes peeping through the mask, I feel that way even more.

The president, who seems to have noticed my gaze, smiles gently in an alluring way.

Oh, I can’t stand this.

Later, when I’m with the president, I’ll have to ask him to do it with that look.

As we approached the entrance holding the chairman’s hand, the staff lined up on both sides politely greeted us and asked.

“Welcome to the fantasy world of Fantasia. Excuse me, sir, may I ask for a ticket?”

Chairman and I took out the tickets we were holding and handed them to the staff.

Upon seeing the luxurious ticket embroidered with a gold band on a black background, the staff member’s eyes trembled slightly, then said ‘excuse me’ and put a black bracelet on the wrist of the president and me.

“If you go to the elevator in the next two hours, you can enter ‘there’. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the luxury of this fantasia.”

Sigh.

Without an error, the staff lined up on both sides at the same time opened the door of Casino Fantasia, and the scenery inside greeted the chairman.

“Ugh.”

After getting out of the car, I made up my mind not to be surprised by the tolerable scenery because I didn’t want to look like a country boy, but when I looked inside, I realized that holding back my exclamation when I saw that scene was close to impossible for me, who was not immune to places like this.

First of all, the first stop was the chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

The light emanating from the ornament with its golden branches dangling down, dyed all objects below in golden light.

And dozens of slot machines, roulettes, and even tables with card games.

It was just all new.

“Hehe. Shall we enjoy the remaining two hours?”

I put my hand up to escort you, but the chairman suddenly stepped forward in front of me who hesitated and took my hand and led me.

“Uh.. Yes yes.”

Chairman too.

He doesn’t mind seeing this kind of atmosphere, and he is very trustworthy in leading me.

If Aris and Cheonghwa had come alone, they would have been parents like me.

Well, I think it would be quite fun to see that confused look.

“Let’s try the simplest gamble first.”

Led by the president’s hand, we arrived at the slot machine.

The appearance was quite luxurious compared to the existing slot machines, but the contents inside were familiar to me.

A screen with various fruits and the number 7, and a batting box and a lever below it.

It is a gamble that anyone can easily understand and enjoy.

“Okay. Shall we try it?”

Rubbing his hands, he approached the slot machine.

Then an important fact came to mind.

“Ah.”

Card.

Cash.

Now I didn’t have anything that could be called money.

Uh… What should I do? Can I use pea pay?

Noticing my embarrassment, the chairman smiled and said to me.

“Don’t worry. The bracelet has all the money in it, so you can place your bets just by automatically taking it to the slot machine. My dear.”

Oh, such a new technology.

“Uh… How much do I have?”

It wasn’t my money, so I was a little guilty, but I thought it would be the first thing to figure out the amount, so I asked the chairman how much money was in the bracelet.

“Violet, who saved the ticket, put in 2 billion won when she first bought the ticket, and I put in all the money I had separately, so you don’t have to worry about the amount separately.”

“Hume.”

The light bracelet felt heavy for no reason when I thought that 2 billion won was not a kid’s joke, but Violet and the president’s entire fortune, which was put in money, was taken.

Damn, I should have been to some of these places in the previous world and spent some money.

“Then shall we go back?”

Direk.

As I brought the bracelet close to the machine, the slot responded with a flash.

“Five.”

First of all, bet first.

You can post something with the number 1 on it, but what the hell does this number 1 mean?

When I looked back at the chairman, he smiled brightly through the fox mask and told me the answer.

“1 is 1 million won.”

Well. To say that 1 is 1 million won is beyond my common sense.

I entered 10 with trembling hands and then slammed the golden lever down.

Pingrrrr.

Numbers and fruits are mixed and rotated on the screen.

“Gazuaaaaagh!”

Despite my roaring cry, the result was a catastrophic failure.

All numbers and fruits present did not fit.

“Cuk-Cook. Don’t be too disappointed.”

“It sucks.”

Also am I an asshole

It doesn’t matter, in fact, there is a gambling that I thought about before entering this casino and built a winning strategy.

“Lady, let’s go play our card game.”

“Do you know the rules?”

“Absolutely.”

In fact, I memorized the genealogy of the card game a few times before coming here because I was a bit confused.

And I’m not the only one who memorized the genealogy of that card.

“I’ll pay you several times the money inside.”

I confidently led the president’s hand to the table, and the president spoke to me in a worried tone.

“No matter how much you do, you can’t spend more than 10 billion. Considering the money you’ll spend later, that’s the limit.”

The weight of the bracelet felt even greater when it was 10 billion won to be spent sparingly.

“Don’t worry. This is a gamble you can’t lose.”

The chairman still looked at me with a slightly worried look, but I smiled and approached the table as if to wait and see.

“Oh. Welcome. Do you want to join the game?”

A dealer wearing a bird-shaped mask greeted me with an exaggerated gesture.

Nod

I nodded without saying a word, and the dealer smiled cheerfully at me.

“That’s great! The game just ended, so it was the perfect time to come in!”

After sitting on the chair at the table, Hui looked at the figures sitting at the table.

Three men with strong physiques.

A skinny male.

And two good-looking sisters.

And it’s a card game played by seven people, including me.

The card game played at this table is world-famous poker and the rules are Texas Hold’em.

This card game, which is played with 2 individual cards distributed by the dealer and 5 shared cards placed on the table, is easy but requires high psychological warfare.

“Cheer up. My love.”

The president did not participate at the table and encouraged me behind my back.

Don’t worry, Chairman, this is really ‘I can’t lose’.

“Okay then, let’s turn the hand!”

The cards were mixed with the dealer’s flamboyant hand movements, and the cards came into my hands.

‘Well.’

After receiving my first loss, the game went smoothly, and as a result of raising while following the bet, I lost 200 million in an instant.

“Huh, true.”

In just a few minutes, 200 million were blown away.

It was unbelievable that such a large amount of money flew away in an instant.

“Kuk. Kuk.”

A skinny man sitting next to me laughed at me.

As I noticed, reinforced by feeling, the mood of the other people at the table was similar.

Obvious ridicule for catching Hogu.

Yes, laugh as much as you like, let’s do it one more time.

One more card game played and I burned 300 million.

“Well!”

And through this game, I definitely realized it.

This poker is also a gamble, but the skills are divided.

I tried to solve the game by reading it somehow with my eyes strengthened by feeling, but for me, who was new to card games, it was impossible to keep up with the skills of other people at this table.

“My love. Are you okay?”

Concerned eyes leaked through the chairman’s fox mask.

“Don’t worry, I’m really going to do it right this time.”

Yeah, this time I do it really well.

“Quit. Kut. Kut.”

The skinny guy next to me laughed openly this time, as if provoking me, but I didn’t care.

Really, I’m going to take all the money from this time on.

“Whoa.”

Pretending to stretch, he raised his head to the sky.

And forgot Flash. I closed my eyes one after another and signaled to my desperate friend.

Pop!

According to my signal, my soul friend angel appeared with a familiar sound effect.

Surprisingly, the angel was wearing a cute mask.

“Player! I’m ready!”

An angel with a grim expression spun around in the air and showed me the paper he was holding in his hand.

Looking at the paper with the genealogy on the card in case I forgot it, I smiled.

Yes, this is my winning strategy.

It’s a cheat you can’t lose.

What would it be if an angel invisible to anyone but me reads all the other people’s cards?

This means that money is copied.

“Let’s start the game!”

The game started with the dealer’s cheerful shout.

Two individually divided hands came in, and the angel busily turned around and wrote down all the other people’s cards and showed them to me.

From now on, all I have to do is just raise my bet or die according to the hand of the card given to me.

How much do you feed this perfect day?

The first game in which an angel participated.

Ate a billion.

Second game.

I gave up because I didn’t like the hand.

Third game.

Ate 5 billion

4th game.

I gave up.

5th game…

Gradually, as the game progressed, the skinny man who had been laughing at me suddenly stopped laughing, and the rest of the people also began to give off a strange air toward me.

I’m sure you’re suspicious

But what can I do to find an angel?

The game continued.

1 hour later.

I made 40 billion.
