The most tantalizing aspect of this gambling contest was the mystery of the victor, which remained unknown until the final round concluded.
After a succession of ten rounds, the highest sum a player accrued approached the billions, leaving many to deplete their funds at this very table.
Some players had utilized this cash influx to amass wealth. Meanwhile, Hannah’s face, concealed behind her mask, betrayed no emotion.
To her, these affluent bettors were no longer individuals but rather the most fanatical of gamblers once they placed their stakes.
Henry assumed his position across the table, scanning the crowd of masked spectators, and challenged, “Who dares to bet against me?”
Seeing his confidence in his impending victory, not a soul in the vicinity wished to face him.
In other games, the stakes were modest, but in this game of dice, the losses could start at ten million, a mistake no one wanted to make.
But then, a figure took the seat across from him.
“Who’s that? She just sat down with such certainty.”
“It’s a woman!”
Women seldom engaged in gambling at this venue. The majority of affluent women preferred not to sully their reputation by wagering in a casino, opting instead to find someone to gamble within the comfort of their own homes.
Thus, the presence of the woman seated across the table drew curious glances.

His men mocked Hannah openty.

“New to the game, are we? Understand the rules, do you? It’s quite audacious for a novice to take a seat here.”
“Judging from the tone of your voice, you appear to be a disguised noblewoman, pretending to be wealthy. You might want to confirm with your household if you can afford such extravagances!”
Henry’s gaze upon Hannah was malevolent.
“Lacking chips, are we?
Hoping to win empty-handed?”
The dealer, stationed by Hannah’s side, also took note of her absence of chips and started to caution her, “It appears this may be your first visit. Without chips, I’m afraid…”
His warning trailed off as Hannah, with a graceful motion of her white-gloved hand, produced a platinum card.
“The funds on this card far exceed those of my counterpart across the table.”
