Kornacis, Money District, outside the Gambler's Den.
With a swinging pendulum necklace in hand, a bushy-bearded man in a top hat and tattered coat sat on the sidewalk.
The pedestrians were avoiding him like a plague, pressing onwards with nervous glances as they hurried past.
"Ahh~"
The bushy-bearded man turned his gaze to the Gambler's Den—it was a building with bright lights—and the sound of cheerful laughter spilled out from the open doors.
Every now and then, people left the Gambler's Den with either smiles or grimaces on their faces after losing a whole month's worth of pay.
In that moment, a brown-haired man stumbled out of the Gambler's Den, sweating furiously like a man on the run.
His right arm was dangling uselessly on the side. Covered in white sheets that were stained with blood.
"…"
The bushy-bearded man turned his gaze to the pendulum necklace, and while it was swinging, it followed Jake, pulling itself towards him.
"Degenerate gambler, who would've thought?"
