Chapter 70-Self serving target

''Let's go lucky number thirteen.'' Aella put five chips on each worth a gold, on 13. After placing her bet the dealer lunched the ball and everyone's attention was drawn to it. The ball spun and jumped around, moving from pocket to pocket, the whole crowd was quiet waiting to see where the ball would land until finally it landed.

''Fourteen red.'' Unfortunately, Aella didn't win her straight-up bet but she still got ten chips from her even bet. It was time to bet again this time she took ten chips put them on red, and then put another five on a random number, but before she placed them completely down she took one chip off the corner pile, and raised it a little bit over her shoulder.

''I would love your blessing for good luck.'' Aella turned and looked at the rabbitkin that was standing right behind her. The rabbitkin was with one hand holding a tray with a drink in a tall glass and some grape-like fruit in a bowl, and her other hand resting on Aella's right shoulder. The blond woman smiled at Aella, before bending a little and giving a chip a kiss. Aella gave a smile in return and put the chip back on top of the pile.

Aella's had been in this casino for a while now, and she had gotten a nice big stack of chips, in front of her. Now the question is how she did that, and that was simply because she wasn't afraid of taking risks and she was somehow incredibly lucky. There were times when she got a nice pile before losing almost all of it, but with time she got it back, and now she had more than ever.

At one point they brought out a magic item to check if she wasn't cheating by using some kind of ability or skill, but after finding nothing they let her be. Now normally if someone wins too big they are asked to leave, at least that is what happened back on Earth, but here it was different. If a casino makes a guest leave without a reason, just because they are winning big they will lose their reputation and clients really fast.

So because of that Aella right now had a big stack of chips that she had lost track of the pile value, and two nice girls by her side. These servant girls could leave any moment and normally they wouldn't stick around one person, because they can get tips from clients, and the more gusts they meet and serve the higher tips they will get.

But if someone like Aella appears and starts practically throwing money around as if it's just metal to her, then of course they will stick around. Of course, Aella liked their company and the drinks and snacks they brought to her, so she didn't hesitate to tip them generously.

''Fifteen black.'' Unfortunately, Aella didn't win her red bet, losing her 10 chips, but she didn't care because she won her corner bet, so including the 5 that she put on it she got herself 40 chips back.

''Hahaha.'' Aella couldn't help but laugh, she had no idea where her luck was coming from but she was having fun. She took 20 chips from the pile she just got and gave each servant girl 10. Both girls happily accepted those chips and put them in their bosoms. Aella was convinced they were keeping a storage item in there because she had given them plenty of chips, and all of them shouldn't fit in there.

The catkin on Aella's left took some kind of berry in her mouth and held it between her lips. Then she leaned down intending to give Aella the berry. Seeing this Aella didn't hesitate and took the berry, there was a short exchange with thongs before they separated. Biting down on the berry Aella felt the sweet juice flow down her through as she enjoyed it. The catkin similar to rabbitkin had a tray in one hand but she had just a big bowl of berries.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

It was time for the next bet and Aella put down her bet, and then put her hands around the two woman waists. The two beastkin just giggled and leaned closer to Aella. The other people around the table made their bets too and the ball was launched.

Looking around the table Aella could see that she was the only one left from the original cast. People over time came and left the table, and now that it was getting late and busier it was happening more and more. She wouldn't be surprised if people saw her and her pile and thought that they could win big too, and some did but most didn't.

''Twenty-seven red.'' Aella again won some chips. Her pile was getting bigger and bigger, and she was enjoying it. While making the next bets a newcomer came to this table.

He was a young male with blond hair and blue eyes, he was good-looking and had a noble air to him. The young man was accompanied by two guards. The newcomer took some of his chips out of a pouch and put them on even. Aella took a quick glance at him but payed no further attention to him. After everyone put in their bets the ball was launched.

''Thirty-two red.'' The chips were taken and given as needed. Aella got a little thirsty and asked the rabbitkin to give her a drink. After satisfying her thirst Aella made her bets.

''Six black.'' The dealer announced the results.

''It looks like it's my lucky day.'' Aella looked over and saw that the one speaking was the newcomer, as he had won two bets in a row. Well, there are two ways this will go in Aella's eyes, either he will continue to win, or soon he will lose all his money. Either way, it will be interesting to watch.

''Hi, I'm Eric.'' The blond newcomer saw Aella looking at him and introduced himself, he even offered a hand for a handshake. But when he said his name Aella froze for a moment and suddenly remembered why she was here. She had too much fun in this casino and had forgotten her original objective.

''Aella.'' But it looked like she didn't have to worry as the target had come to her. Aella introduced herself, but didn't shake his hand, and just nodded with her head, and showed her hands were full, as they were wrapped around the two beastkin women.

Eric didn't say anything but Alla could see her got angry with her when she didn't accept the handshake. So Eric took his hand back and made his bet. While the ball was spinning for this round Aella could see how Eric glanced at her from time to time with annoyance in those blue eyes. On the other hand, Aella didn't pay heed to those glances and just smirked while enjoying her time here.

***

After a while, Aella could see Eric pull on his hair as he angrily glared at the ball. Over the time he had been here, he had lost more money than he had won. Aella was sure that he had zero money problems so losing money for him was practically nothing, but it looked like his ego couldn't take it. Seeing this Aella couldn't help but smirk.

''WHAT YOU BITCH, YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?!'' Eric had seen Aella's smirk and that was the last straw. His veins bulged and his eyes looked mad as he shouted at her. He got up and got basically in her face and pointed his finger at her. ''DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, I CAN BUY A WHORE LIKE YOU EASILY, YOU DON'T WANT TO CROSS ME...'' Aella could feel her breath, and she didn't like it. Eric yelled loud enough that almost the whole casino, heard it, and he yelled like that for a short while, until finally, his own guards started to pull him away.

''DON'T TOUCH ME!'' He freed himself from the guards with a sharp motion but still took his leave. The guards were probably there to protect him, but primarily to monitor him so that he wouldn't embarrass the family name. He gave another angry glare in Aella's direction as he left.

This confirmed that he was the right Eric, and Aella smiled as she picked up one of the hairs that he plucked out himself. She couldn't help but smile because the target had come to her, and given her what she needed and she didn't even need to lift a finger.

''One red.'' So now that she had everything she needed, Aella decided to fully enjoy herself and stayed in the casino, winning some gold and tipping some to her two beautiful ladies.
