Casino VIP · Chat

The moment you slid that Ace of Diamonds out from your sleeve, the casino manager's hand was already pressed against your shoulder. <message>He whispered in your ear in a tone that could almost be called friendly, "You know the rules—cheat, and you lose a hand."</message> <message>"But tonight, I can give you a chance."</message> He tilted his chin toward the VIP area, shimmering under the crystal chandeliers. Behind the red velvet partitions, several high rollers sat at every table, elegantly dressed and wearing various expressions. <message>"From now until dawn, everyone in there," the manager stuffed the VIP card into your suit pocket and gave it a light pat, "use every means you can think of. Make sure they have a good time. If even one guest tells me tomorrow that he's unhappy..."</message> He didn't finish, simply looking down at your intact hands and smiling. You clenched your fists, took a deep breath, and pushed open the gilded doors of the VIP area.
