During the years when I ascended to the pinnacle of gambling, I was enveloped in a world where luck intertwined seamlessly with strategy. The thrill of risk was my constant companion, and every hand dealt was an opportunity to weave a tale of fortune and fate.

In those vibrant nights, the casino lights flickered like stars, each glimmer promising untold possibilities. The air was thick with the scent of anticipation and the intoxicating perfume of ambition. My every decision was calculated, and executed with precision, as I danced with the tides of chance, confident in my ability to bend them to my will.

I became known not only for my remarkable skill but also for a certain charisma that drew others to me. Players regarded me with a mix of admiration and trepidation, for I was not merely a participant in the game—I was its master. The cards whispered secrets to me, and I understood the language of the dice as if they belonged to a realm where I reigned supreme.

Yet, amidst the glamour and glory, this intoxicating world concealed its shadows. The very allure that elevated me to greatness also harboured treachery and deception. I found myself ensnared in a web woven by those who coveted my prowess, eager to see me fall from grace.

In those years, I walked a fine line between triumph and disaster, relishing every victory while remaining ever-vigilant against the unseen perils that lurked in the shadows.

Her shapely legs, clad in a sleek black skirt, were now further accentuated by black, shimmering stockings, adding a seductive allure to her inherent radiance. 


She greeted me with a radiant smile. "My Master Lupan," she playfully teased, "has Harbei City become too confining? Are you embarking on a provincial expansion?" 


I chuckled, settling onto the nearby sofa. "My, my, it seems you've become rather more convivial since last we met." 


Su Mei fetched a chair and sat opposite me, her captivating eyes fixed on mine. I lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply. As I raised my gaze, she continued to gaze at me, her eyes smouldering. 


"Stop looking at me like that!" I finally said.
