Chapter 72: The Beacon in Hand, the World at My Feet
Kyoho Casino, the largest gambling venue in all of Dragonfly City, was nothing short of magnificent. How big, you ask? It practically occupied half a street! The decor was opulent and luxurious, the service attentive and meticulous, and the attitude fair and honest—treating all customers equally.
In short, as long as you didn't cheat, you could enjoy the finest service and the ultimate gambling experience.
After all, casinos were never afraid of you winning; they only feared you wouldn't show up. Furthermore, the owner behind Kyoho Casino was none other than the renowned wealthiest man in the Land of Wind and the president of its merchant guild, Kōzaburō Hirai. It was said that his home was a literal mountain of gold and silver, and even the Daimyō of the Land of Wind would tremble if he so much as stomped his foot.
At this moment, a crowd had gathered around a dice table. The one gambling was none other than Tsunade, with her assistant, the Wind Shadow Secretary Pakura, sitting behind her, holding a bag. The dealer at the table was a young, handsome man with a constant smile on his face.
Tsunade grabbed the bottle of sake beside her and took a long swig. After a moment, she shook the bottle.
"Out of sake."
"No problem, I'll arrange it immediately."
The dealer snapped his fingers, and a server promptly brought over a fresh bottle of sake, taking the empty one away in the process.
"You... done shaking?"
Tsunade looked at the dealer with her slightly drunken eyes.
"All set. Just waiting for your bet."
