Enio's breathing quickened, and the steady flow of money on the gambling table made his throat itch and his tongue dry.
He had never seen so much money before!
His father was an Imperial man.., longing to rise above others and trying to mimic the Federation people. He only told his children to follow the Federation's laws instead of striving for happiness.
So, for the past twenty years, Enio's life hadn't been blissful; it was filled with poverty and hardship.
But in that moment, when so much money was before him, he instantly understood poverty, understood suffering, and understood the essence of all misfortunes—it was money!
Yes, more money meant more happiness, less money meant more pain; that was an irrefutable truth.
If his father had money, he wouldn't spend his days venting his emotions at home using domestic violence, and his mother wouldn't have left them.
