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.

The Years I Was The Gambling God

The following evening, Aeliana had not messaged me. However, Eldric did ring me up. 


As soon as the call connected, Eldric lowered his voice and quietly asked, "Boss, where are you? Is it convenient for you to come over?" 


Earlier, Eldric had mentioned that today was the fiftieth birthday celebration of their gang leader. He wanted me to publicly expose the leader’s cheating during the festivities, hoping to use this as leverage to ascend as the new gang leader of Harbei City. 


"I have the time. Send me the address; I’ll head over now!" 


"Great, it's Longbin Mountain Resort. I’ll be waiting for you at the intersection!" 


After hanging up, curiosity piqued within me. Longbin Mountain Resort held a modest reputation in Harbei City, being quite upscale. I was baffled that a gang of beggars would celebrate a birthday at such a place. I could hardly imagine the sight of a group of beggars gorging on food and drink in this picturesque setting.
