As Dark settled in, he nonchalantly placed ten thousand US dollars on the table. After handing Aeliana three hundred thousand earlier, Dark and I were left with just over ten thousand dollars. With a firm grasp of the rules, Dark ventured into the game boldly. In the first round, he was dealt a 3 and an 8. To win, only a 4, 5, 6, or 7 could be drawn. The pot amounted to a total of eight hundred dollars. To everyone's surprise, he scooped the entire pot with a direct win upon receiving a 7 from the dealer. Rolf wasted no time in showering him with praises, attributing Dark's success to good fortune and predicting a streak of wins. However, such luck is ephemeral.
