The casino hall was filled with numerous superhumans.

The moment Loren walked into the hall, he could sense several subtle gazes directed at him from all around.

These were the gazes of superhumans with relatively keen perception.

The dangerous aura emanating from Loren’s body had clearly stimulated their senses.

“Wow, this is quite a surprising place. The number of superhumans is unexpectedly high…”

Loren half-closed his eyes and murmured to himself with a smile.

The density of superhumans gathered among the crowd here was almost comparable to the Interstellar Hunter Association.

In response to these subtle yet tense gazes, Loren chose to smile back, then slowly turned his head.

His eyes also unflinchingly looked toward the directions from which those subtle gazes came.

Hoping someone would make eye contact with him.

Unfortunately, upon realizing Loren had noticed their gazes, most of these subtle looks vanished.

Staring at a superhuman for an extended period inherently carried a provocative meaning.

Finding no one willing to meet his gaze, Loren couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed inside.

These people are so boring…

Having found no amusement, Loren casually walked toward a gambling table in the hall, ready to begin his gambling.

This casino called “Labey Street Casino City” also had roulette, but considering the raven’s wish for him to keep a low profile.

Loren did not plan to choose such a flashy method to earn Spirit Stones tonight.

Instead, he intended to use a more ordinary gambling method, one less likely to draw attention.

Loren walked alone to a gambling table and stopped nearby.

Several gamblers were already gambling at this table.

In fact, because of the large number of chips on the table, the area around it was packed with spectators.

Loren quietly blended into the crowd, silently observing this gambling method, just like an ordinary onlooker.

After Loren approached, two bodyguards standing behind one of the gamblers deliberately sized him up, using their eyes to warn Loren.

The meaning in their eyes was quite clear, hoping Loren wouldn’t do anything unnecessary.

They were clearly performing their protective duties to a perfect standard.

Loren, feeling somewhat discriminated against, showed no outward reaction. He merely looked back at the two bodyguards, smiling to indicate he was just a spectator.

Then, Loren secretly activated his ability.

These were, after entering the casino hall, two of the very few people willing to make eye contact with Loren.

Loren cherished their gaze immensely and gifted these two dutiful bodyguards a special “present.”

He looked forward in his heart to what the outcome would be when these two opened this “gift.”

“The Misfortune attached to them will be triggered during their next battle.”

After doing all that, Loren chose not to do anything more.

He positioned himself as an ordinary spectator, just there to watch an exciting game of chance.

Loren began earnestly learning the card game being played on the table.

At that moment, the raven’s voice sounded in Loren’s mind.

“Master, you’re very naughty.”

“Shut up, don’t disturb my learning.”

Loren responded to the raven in his mind, then focused again on watching the card game on the table.

Seeing Loren make no unnecessary moves and just quietly watch the gambling on the table.

The two bodyguards also relaxed their vigilance, only keeping an occasional eye on Loren from the corner of their vision.

After studying for a while, Loren turned and left the crowd.

“This gambling method isn’t suitable for me, time to change…” Loren thought silently to himself.

“Why isn’t it suitable, Master?” the raven’s puzzled voice came through.

“Experts can guess whether my hand is good or bad from my bets. And if I keep getting good hands, no one will be willing to match my heavy bets.”

Loren answered the raven somewhat regretfully in his mind.

Loren, having moved to watch a different table, also left after a few minutes.

“Still not suitable…”

After observing several tables in a row, Loren finally found a method that was less flashy and relatively suitable for him.

This was a poker gambling method passed down from the Federation’s old era, enduring through time.

At the start, the gambler and the dealer are each dealt two cards.

The two cards are added together, and the one with the higher total wins, but it must not exceed 21 points. Anyone exceeding 21 points automatically loses.

If the points are the same, the dealer wins.

If a player feels their point total is too low, they can ask the dealer for more cards.

Loren, having finally found a gambling method suited to him, was in a rather good mood.

Finding a table that wasn’t fully occupied by gamblers, Loren directly sat down.

At this table, including the newly arrived Loren, there were five gamblers total, plus the dealer who was always the banker.

“Everyone is here, esteemed guests. May we begin dealing the cards?” the dealer asked the five gamblers, including Loren.

Loren and another young man wearing a leather jacket both nodded silently in agreement.

The other three responded verbally to the dealer.

“I’ve been waiting forever, hurry up and start,” replied a portly, obese man who seemed to have waited the longest.

Most notably, he was followed by four bodyguards.

“Okay,” a sexy lady in a black dress also spoke up. She only had two bodyguards behind her.

“Of course,” the final middle-aged man in a black suit also agreed. However, after speaking, he gave the newly seated Loren a once-over.

When Loren turned to look, the man merely nodded at Loren without making eye contact.

Loren keenly sensed that when he entered the hall, this middle-aged man had been one of those subtle gazes.

Randomly choosing a table, I didn’t expect it to be this interesting… Loren mused to himself.

Soon, the game began.

Loren silently took out ten of the smallest chips from his pocket and placed them on the table.

This action drew the quiet attention of the other four gamblers.

The other four gamblers each had a pile of chips in front of them, and the smallest chip among any of their piles was marked with a “20.”

And Loren finally noticed this fact…

Clearly, he had accidentally walked into a high-stakes game.

The casino was currently at its peak hour.

In such a large casino, the number of tables not fully occupied could be counted on one hand.

As for why this table with these four gathered wasn’t full, the reason was obvious…

Clearly, the piles of chips in front of these four had scared off many people.

And Loren, completely immersed in the gambling method he had just learned, hadn’t paid any attention to this…

As is well known, the novice period is always marked by impatience due to the eagerness to try things out.

He just wanted to gamble quickly. So, seeing an empty seat at this table, he simply sat down.

And these four people, none of them spoke up to stop Loren’s action.

When the dealer asked, “May we begin dealing the cards?”

He wasn’t actually asking the last arrival, Loren, but the other four.
