Karl stared at the empty space in front of him, and silence filled his mind.
He had come to double his money — but had ended up losing it all.
How did he get so engrossed that he didn't even realize it?
He turned and glared at Pier.
Pier instantly understood his gaze. With a helpless expression, he quickly said, "I tried to stop you, Brother Karl. You didn't listen to me." He avoided his eyes and looked away. "I didn't know how else to stop you."
Karl closed his eyes.
Maybe now, he had no choice but to accept his fate and face the consequences in the most brutal form.
Surviving would be difficult, but he hoped his brothers would show him at least some mercy.
Pushing the chair back sharply, he stood up.
"We are done," he said, clearly signaling the end of the game.
He then turned slightly, reaching for Eira.
But just then —
A voice made him pause.
"Young Master, you can still choose to play more. Maybe you can reverse it."
