(Celestia Star System- Qren Sector)
(Planet Hydroposlis – Royal Casino)
The heavy stench of smoke hung in the air.
Thousands of gamblers pushed and shoved against one another as they all rushed towards the booths placed at the back of the hall.
Many were unshaven and unwashed. Their clothes were filthy and stained with dirt, grime, and other rubbish.
The lower level of the Royal Casino was for the commoners to gamble. Nobles and those with wealth would play on the higher floors.
One could win a fortune at the Royal Casino but for every winner… there were thousands who were led to ruin and despair.
The house always won in the end.
On the second floor a woman dressed in an elegant red dress looked down at the chaos below with a sneer on her face.
She was surrounded by young handsome men who wore skimpy bathing trunks that did little to cover up their muscular bodies.
