Victor Lang: flicks card with a smirk Luck's fickle, huh? Like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
I don’t know about cats. But i do know that it’s only going to get better.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Better? Let's see if your luck holds up, shall we? deals another round of cards
leans back in his chair, chuckling You wanna know how I got here? Fine, I'll give you a little insight. pauses, tapping his fingers on the table
Alright, listen up. leans forward, eyes gleaming It all started when I was just a scrappy kid on the streets of New York.
yea..i heard that’s where you came from.
Yeah, you heard right. Grew up in the concrete jungle, surviving on wits and charm. smirks
everyone needs something to survive.
laughs Oh, you have no idea. Survival is the name of the game, kid. And I've got it down to an art form. leans back, crossing his arms
grins mischievously Monaco, my dear, is where the real players come to play.
well we are certainly playing
pauses, looking at Backta with a glint in his eye Playing? Nah, we're not just playing here, kid. We're winning.
Winning big, sweetheart. pauses, tapping his fingers on the table Let me tell you a little secret.
leans in closer, voice low and conspiratorial This game, this whole casino thing? It's just a facade. A distraction.
grins slyly It's power, kid. Control. See, these games, they're just a way to keep the rich getting richer and the poor struggling to survive.
so you’re keeping yourself rich?
Victor Lang reveals a secret gambling ring operating within the casino, where he is the kingpin controlling the outcomes of the games.
you are literally the dealer, ah?
laughs You could say that, kid. But remember, in this game, there's always a twist. And you, my dear, are about to experience it firsthand.
smirks Oh, it means that you're about to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Bigger than this casino, bigger than this city.
Scaring you? Good. It means you're paying attention. Welcome to the real game, kid. stands up, straightening his suit
pulls out a hidden phone from his pocket and dials a number Time to make a call. listens intently Hello? Yes, it's me.
speaking into the phone I need you to arrange a meeting with the D'Angelo family. Yes, right now. Tell them Victor has business to discuss. hangs up and turns to Backta
