Yes, you have figured out that Bodyguard Gonzales is trying to rile you up too, but he didn’t take into consideration the possibility that you have a pretty good hand. One you’re well acquainted with: <span class="mu-s">A pair of Kings</span>. How can you not play a little bit risky with your new favorite hand? Everyone's a little right, being lucky pays off sometimes.
“Hey Johnny, listen to me for a sec.” Billy’s head appears right next to you out of nowhere. “Be careful with the baldy there. Shines like the moon, but it’s all deceit. He’s ruthless. Trust me on this one, baby.”
“Don’t worry, I have this under control.” You whisper back, then you raise your voice. “Are you sure you want to call me out, Mr. Gonzales?” You match the bet as you continue talking.
“Kid, I got my job by being the showstopper.” Gonzales smiles from ear to ear.
“Oh? Storytime?” Mr. Cahill is interested in Gonzales’ background.
“Betting was my boss’ ticket to earn his first millions. He went all around the globe, busting casinos left and right until he got banned from every single one; always a little too late, the house never won with him around. His legendary undefeated streak? I put a stop to it.” Gonzales matches your bet as he talks.
“And how did you do it?” Mr. Cahill is dying to know.
“I kicked him out before his ass got a seat! Saved the casino millions. Didn’t see a dime myself though.” Gonzales burst into laughter. “Can’t win if you don’t bet. And now that I say it…” He raises the bet. “I wanna win today.”
“That doesn’t explain how you got hired.” You feel like something is missing here.
“Weeks passed by, Boss came back, bought the entire place, and promoted me. He said I was the only guard doing his job.” Gonzales has fond memories of this encounter. “I’m sure he bribed the other guys, but I was new. First day. His luck had to run out.”
“<span class="mu-i">Ohohoho!</span> You haven’t seen the extent of it!” Gerard sensibly chuckles.
“A bad omen. Pass.” Victor folds.
The game continues. Your kings proved their might by winning this hand. Who would’ve thought that by talking about lucky streaks your own began? And best of all, you rode this bad girl until she couldn’t go any longer! It’s like she ate the most legendary cake recipe ever created! But you digress. You went Second Gear while at it, and it went so well, that it feels like you got second AND Third Gear smashed together! The point is, you’re doing scarily well, and the main victim of all of this? Victor! Why? Who knows…
