Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Acht gazed around secretly as he walked away from the slot machine. He was searching for the cameras inside the casino that watched the people play and make sure no one was cheating or using illegal méthodes to win money.

Those kinds of people are what make the casinos lose a lot of money so they make sure to keep an eye on everyone and Acht was sure that if he stayed in that slot machine for long he would've been a target. Luckily, he was wearing a hat he had in his spatial ring that covered his features and reduced the trouble that he will face in case anyone sees his annoyingly handsome face.

He then went to a table that was playing roulette. It seemed to be slightly empty as there were only 2 people there playing.

Acht stopped by and took a look at the worker who was responsible for organizing the game. Acht didn't even need to look at him for more than a few seconds to know that he was doing something.

His sharp eyes could see what many normal humans or even weaker awakeners couldn't see. So, he was able to perceive how the man clad in a black suit was cheating and deliberately making the players lose.

'This place is indeed rigged as I thought.' He thought as he intended to walk away.

However, he suddenly stopped and turned around to walk back to the game.

"Can I join in?" Acht asked.

The worker gazed at him with his cold look and then nodded his head respectfully.

"Please do." He responded.

In normal cases, kids shouldn't be accepted at casinos since it was adult-only entertainment so he should've been kicked out of the casino the moment he entered. However, this city is Evernight, the city of sins.

Any human who comes here has the right to do whatever he wants as long as it wasn't illegal. So, kids are accepted in such places and even in brothels. Hell, Acht could see many teenagers and kids who are playing inside the casino as if it was nothing.

It was weird but he couldn't care less since it made him blend in easily.

So, he sat down next to the two nervous men that lost a lot of money and started playing. He chose a random number and the other two also chose a random number since there was no way they had a strategy to know where the ball would land.

The worker started spinning the roulette and Acht threw the ball along with the other two men.

The balls moved across the roulette at a rapid pace. The four people eyed the game as it came closer and closer to the end.

Then, it stopped and the two men gulped their salivas with difficulty. The ball that belonged to Acht had landed on the exact number he chose, making him win the round.

He heard a notification on his phone and he saw that he won a whopping 700 points in less than 30 seconds pushing his score to 1300 points.

"Dammit! Even a kid beat us, Dave!" One of them cursed as he looked at his friend.

"Beat me! It's your shitty luck that jinxed the both of us. How the fuck am I gonna tell my wife that I lost almost 100 gold coins playing roulette?!" The other answered.

"Our only choice is to continue playing and try to regain all the money that we lost. I know the goddess of luck will be benevolent enough to give us one win." The other responded with an almost crazed look.

"I guess you are…right." The man named Dave responded after some thought.

Acht watched this interaction and could only sigh inwardly. They were clearly addicted to gambling considering the fact that such a flawed logic was something they considered normal.

'They will probably lose money even if I didn't come here. Sigh, such a city is a curse indeed.' He thought.

Evernight was indeed a hell for people, a place that will pull anyone into a pit of addiction and lust that will never spit him out. It was a sinful city filled with all kinds of bad things but that was what made it beautiful. It was simply a paradise of hell.

The game continued and Acht threw the ball again after choosing. He didn't even think twice about the number he would choose since it didn't matter at all, he would win anyway.

And indeed, the next round was another win for him.

He had won 5 times in a row in two different games without even spending as much as 15 gold coins. His revenue, if he wanted to exchange that for gold coins, would be a whopping 80 gold coins which is almost 700% of revenue.

The two men's faces grew paler and paler along with the worker who seemed to grow suspicious of Acht. He was sure that Acht was doing something but he couldn't wrap his head around it.

So, with a small glance, he made a gesture to one of the cameras to concentrate on Acht. It was already a thing that he won twice so they should find his trick before he wins anymore.

Acht was aware of that and he even knew what the worker was thinking but he had a plan in mind for this to not make himself face any kind of problems.

'They won't be able to know what I did anyway. Let's drain this shithole of as much money as I can before I take the bow.' He thought.

The game continued with the third and fourth rounds being another two wins for Acht.

"250 c-coins! We lost 250 gold coins!" Dave shouted crazedly.

He couldn't believe how much money he lost. It was a fortune that he and his wife made through years and years of work and he threw that money as if it was nothing.

"You fucker!! You made me play again and lose more money! Goddess of luck my ass. She could go suck my dick." The man shouted at his friend as he grabbed him by the collar and punched him hard in the face.
