“Actually, the reason I came today is that I need your help finding someone in one of the many casinos under your control” Madelyn spoke, mentioning Nathan’s name. “His name’s Nathan Lynch. After we find him. I might need you to come with me. Is that okay?”
Thinking this was a minor favor, Septimus agreed without hesitation. “No problem.”
He then summoned his subordinate. “Send a notice to all the casinos, see if anyone has seen this Nathan
“Understood” Septimus subordinate nodded in agreement before leaving to carry out the task. Madelyn took the opportunity to introduce Tristan to Septimus, catching up on old times while she was at it.
After a while, the subordinate from earlier came back to report, “Sir, we’ve found him. He’s gambling in one of our lower–tier casinos in the old city district.”
Everyone shared a silent glance before setting off to find Nathan.
At that time, there was a cacophony in the casino in the old city district.
Nathan, who had just lost a round of gambling, was disheartened. He couldn’t help but curse under his breath. “D*mn it! My luck is absolutely rotten tonight! Have these b*stards been cheating?”
Unwilling to give up, he decided to try his luck elsewhere.
Unexpectedly, his fortunes changed. He not only won but doubled his money.
Overjoyed. Nathan took his winnings and placed another bet. Once again, he won.
Nathan was so elated he felt like he was on cloud nine.
However, that was far from enough for him. With a gambler’s spirit, Nathan placed all his chips on one bet, doubling his winnings once again.
His luck seemed unstoppable as he continued to double his wins, Initially, the amounts he bet on were small, merely tens of thousands. But as time went on, Nathan’s ambitions grew. He began to bet half a million, then escalated to a million. The people around watched in astonishment.
As if fate had a soft spot for him, Nathan quickly accumulated five million in a short time. Words couldn’t

like he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Upon hearing this astronomical figure, Nathan was taken aback. Just how much that is? If I manage to get my hands on that, I can not only repay all my debts but also enjoy a life of luxury for the rest of my life!
The temptation was too much for Nathan to resist. He immediately nodded, “All right! I’ll do it!”
Madelyn, watching this unfold, shook her head with a sigh.
They had arrived quite some time ago and chose to remain hidden in the shadows, observing.
Witnessing that, Madelyn was left speechless. This kid’s hopelessly addicted to gambling. There’s no saving him
Tristan and Josiah, too, shook their heads.
Septimus, on the other hand, was intrigued. Having run casinos for so many years, he rarely saw such a daring gambler. I’d like to see how this young man’s luck plays out.
The moment of tension began.
The rules of this round were straightforward: roll the dice, bet on the outcome, and if Nathan won, his earnings would multiply. However, if he lost, he’d be out of pocket.
As the game commenced, Nathan, clutching his ten million chips, felt his nerves growing taut with each roll
of the dice.
Soon, the hand shaking the dice stopped.
The dealer, with a cheerful grin, looked around at everyone. “Go on, make your choices quickly. Once you’re done, we’ll get started,” he said.
After a moment of hesitation, everyone made their respective decisions. Subsequently, all eyes naturally turned toward Nathan.
“Nathan, hurry up and choose. Why are you spacing out?”
“Yeah, come on. Join me and go big. With your luck, we’re sure to make a killing!”
“Yeah, I think he should go big too. Maybe I should bet on big too.”
The other gamblers began to argue, each voicing their own opinion and disrupting Nathan’s judgment.
In the end, the majority opted for big, while a few chose small.
Nathan had completely lost his ability to make rational decisions. Maybe I should go with the majority
Following that, he placed all ten million chips on the big side, stating with determination. “I’m betting big!”
The dealer laughed. “Great. I’m going to reveal it now.”
Everyone held their breath.

The dealer swiftly uncovered the dice, declaring. “One, two, threel Small!”
“Wow“”
The gamblers erupted into chaos. Some were thrilled while some were crestfallen.
Nathan was completely flabbergasted.

He felt as if his soul had been sucked out of him, standing there in a daze. It’s all gone. Everything’s gone. That was ten million! But now it’s gone.
However, it wasn’t over.
The dealer, with a gleeful smile, announced, “Nathan, your bet was at five times the stake. Now that you’ve lost, not only is your ten million gone, but you also owe forty million.”
The other gamblers instantly burst into laughter. “Forty million? How on earth could this young lad afford that?”
“Yeah! How could he possibly have that much money? Hahaha!”
“This is what you call ‘you reap what you sow!”
Nathan almost broke down. They were the ones who egged me on! They were the ones who persuaded me to bet five times the amount! They were the ones who told me to bet on big! Now that I’ve lost, they’re gloating over my misfortune! They’re despicable!
Nathan was filled with rage, but before he could vent his frustrations, the casino’s ferocious debt collectors were already demanding payment. “Nathan, hurry up and repay the forty million you owe!”
“Pay back the money now!”
Nathan panicked as they approached him. I can’t even cough up ten thousand! Where can I get forty million?
Left without a choice, he sprinted toward the door.
