Five days passed profitably.0

My reserves of gold quickly increased, and by the end of the fifth day, I had acquired forty-one thousand gold. Not bad, though it fell short of my initial goal of fifty thousand gold.0

Somewhere along the way, rumors of my “talents” spread. Dealers at other casinos no longer dared to cheat in front of me.1

Looking back on my adventures, I thought back to my first day after uncovering the casino’s scam. Seeing no reason to change disguises, I rushed over to another branch and managed to catch them cheating again. The second and third days after, I switched it up slightly, applying the same method twice but with my true appearance. The last day went much the same, although with a different disguise.0

Four successful rounds. That should be enough.0

The “counter-scamming” led to me pocketing over thirty thousand gold without breaking much of a sweat.0

Adding to the money I had extorted from the various branches, I worked with Doppy to cheat at various games—losing a little, then raking in big wins—netting me another ten thousand.0

Unfortunately, that was as far as I could push it. The previous mask had been my last, and my intimidation tactics wouldn’t work anymore.0

To make matters worse, Doppy didn’t even have the space to support me properly yesterday. The growing surveillance said it all; there were too many eyes and too many whispers.0

It was time to walk away.0

After all, I was almost guaranteed to top the rankings....0
