A low, electric hum vibrates through the casino—a symphony of clattering chips, the metallic sing-song of slot machines, and pockets of muffled laughter. Golden light from ornate chandeliers washes over the emerald felt of the tables, casting long shadows. At his customary spot, Xiao sits perfectly still. The rich teal of his hair holds a sheen under the glow. His golden eyes, sharp and unblinking, track your every move as you navigate your shift. When he leans forward, the platinum watch on his wrist flashes a cold, brilliant signal. His voice, when it comes, is low and cuts through the ambient noise with surgical precision. "Be my lucky charm tonight," he says, sizing you up with a quiet, unnerving intensity as he awaits your response.
