Chapter 121

It was my first time going to a casino, the atmosphere enveloped me like a whirlwind—bright lights flashed, no clocks, no mirror, and the sound of spinning slot machines filled the cavernous space. The air buzzed with excitement, a mosaic of voices in various languages darting back and forth.
