A Few Months Later.
In the Central Domain, Star Area, Gambling District.
Joel, a gambler, was strolling down the street.
Suddenly, a newly opened casino caught his attention.
"Shadow Casino? How grand!"
Unlike other casinos in the Star Area, aka the poor area, the Shadow Casino was luxurious, comparable to the top casinos in the central area.
Standing in the Star Area, it was like a phoenix among chickens.
"I still have so money; how about I gamble a little?" Joel muttered as he was tempted.
Entering, he was greeted by the staff.
"Hello, welco to the Shadow Casino. Please enjoy your stay!"
Proficient in gambling, he quickly went to the counter to exchange so chips.
However, just as he was about to pay in dinsional coins, the staff inford him that they only accepted origin coins.
"What? Origin Coins? Are you crazy?"
Although this was the Central Domain, they were in a poor area.
Most people here didn't have an organization and were just getting by.
Even if they had a skill or two that could earn Origin Coins, it was nowhere near enough to gamble.
"Sorry, sir, this is the casino policy," the staff apologized.
"I don't accept this! If you don't give an explanation, I will report you to the Dinsional Alliance Council!" Joel shouted.
"Sir, you may look at our prize catalog, and you will understand the situation," the staff patiently explained.
Many people had co complaining at the Shadow Casino once they saw the policy.
Only allowing origin coins to be used in a casino was insane, even in the Central Domain.
Even casinos in the central area were still allowing the use of dinsional coins, just restricting the places they could gamble.
"Fine, there better be good prizes, or else..." Joel threatened the smiling staff.
"Hmm? What is this? Origin Grade Potions?"
"Origin grade Elixirs?!"
"Even Rare Void Grade tal?!"
"This- This is unreal!" Joel muttered like a lunatic.
Looking at the various prizes he could exchange for, his eyes reddened with greed.
Most of these resources couldn't be bought even if one had money.
One needed the corresponding status to be eligible to buy them.
Looking at the treasures, he couldn't wait to empty his wallet.
Suddenly, he thought of sothing.
Turning to the staff, he asked, "Can I directly exchange for treasures here?"
After a few epochs of gambling, he still had a property of thousands of origin coins; buying a few treasures shouldn't be a problem.
"Unfortunately, you can't do that, sir."
"Only the money you have won can be used to exchange for these treasures."
"Can't I just add so money?"
"I'm sorry, sir, even if you add a hundred tis the amount required, it's not possible," the staff said in apology.
The staff of the Shadow Casino received strict training.
No matter what the custor demanded or did, they would still proceed according to the protocol.
Maximus recruited them from top agencies to ensure the casino ran smoothly without his supervision.
Maximus only had to worry about the account, ensuring he could launder money without any problems.
Knowing he couldn't get his way, Joel reluctantly exchanged so chips.
Having the chips, he entered the casino. Slling the familiar scent, Joel felt like he had returned ho.
Going to the dice area, he picked so easy gas.
Betting a chip worth about 0.1 origin coins, he wanted to test his luck.
As the roulette kept spinning, the dice fell onto the table.
"1, 3, 5, 1, 4."
"Damn, no way I won!" Joel shouted in surprise, seeing his money triple in amount.
"Do you want to place another bet, sir?" the dealer asked.
"Hahaha, of course!" Betting a chip worth 1 origin coin, Joel was more confident this ti.
Sure enough, as luck would have it, he matched 2 numbers, earning 50% of his bet!
"Damn, am I a god or what?!"
Joel felt like he had been blessed this ti.
A brainless ga of dice led him to win again and again.
If not for looking at the chips in his hand, he would have thought he was dreaming.
Feeling his luck, he beca bolder and bet more aggressively in the following gas.
Winning most of the ti, Joel felt his ti had co.
Maybe he could advance in his profession, being nad as a god of gambling!
Near the end of the day, he had won thousands of origin coins.
With unstoppable luck, he didn't want to cash out yet and played so more.
Unfortunately, as they say, if you consu your luck, what follows is a rain of bad luck.
In the end, holding himself back at the last minute, he still won hundreds of origin coins and happily exchanged them for rare treasures.
Exiting the casino, he couldn't help but clench his fist.
"Just wait, I will bankrupt you sooner or later."
....
A few months later.
Looking at the account, Maximus couldn't help but smile.
"I finally laundered a million origin coins," he mused.
After creating hype and letting most players win in the first few days, the Shadow Casino beca a hit.
With more and more people winning and losing, manipulating the account beca easier.
Furthermore, what he didn't expect was that the casino could still make so money.
Using the tricks he comprehended to transcendence mastery, the Shadow Casino could be said to be full of deceptions.
Even a battle-hardened gambler would be bankrupt if they weren't careful.
From psychological manipulation to chanics, the lights, sounds, and everything in the casino felt dreamy, making one indulge in it.
If unprepared, the Shadow Casino would strip anyone who entered bone dry.
Because of this, the Shadow Casino was also called the abyss of wealth by most who survived.
Fortunately, under the good publicity, the Shadow Casino was still running smoothly and prospering.
The casino exchange prizes even caught the attention of people in the central area, making them gamble in his casino.
Those big spenders who could part with millions of origin coins were his real custors.
This was also the reason he easily laundered a million origin coins in just a few months.
However, earning a million origin coins in just a few months was not without trouble.
Such a huge inco attracted the attention of so people in the Dinsional Alliance, leading to an investigation.
Although more inco equals more tax, for the Dinsional Alliance, keeping the Central Domain safe and secure was a priority.
Who knew if the Shadow Casino was a front for the Devourers to launder money?
This had happened before, damaging the Dinsional Alliance's reputation.
Although the virtual realm is a free land, the Central Domain is not.
If other virtual domains could still tolerate the existence of devourers, the Central Domain could never.
This is the main base of the Dinsional Alliance in the virtual realm, letting the enemy run rampant in their territory was a disgrace.
Fortunately, after a deep investigation, the Shadow Casino was cleared of suspicion.
All transactions were clear and logical without any flaws.
As for the rare prizes one could exchange for, they didn't care about their origin.
As long as it wasn't the Devourers operating the store, everything was fine.
After clearing his na, Maximus beca more cautious and only dared to launder tens of thousands of origin coins every month.
Although he calculated and faked everything to make it almost real, he could slip if he wasn't careful.
Anyway, his money should be enough.
The reason Maximus was in a hurry to launder money was to buy tier 10 slaves to protect the Etherium Realm in the upcoming war.
More importantly, he also needed to further reinforce the Etherium Realm.
If a fight occurred there, even if they won the war, the place could be destroyed.
There were only about 900 years before the official war started; if he didn't hurry, the Etherium Realm would be trashed.
Reinforcent was not an easy job, even with all the manpower, Maximus estimated that it would take hundreds of years to fully reinforce the Etherium Realm.
Having the money, Maximus quickly went shopping.
...
In the Void Domain.
Using his real identity, he walked to the largest slave shop in the domain.
Although slave trading is loathed and cursed, it is not entirely illegal.
However, for the good of many, the Montgory Family, the biggest slave trader in the Dinsional Alliance, moved their headquarters to the Void Domain.
The Void Domain is a land of freedom and the exiles; for most people in this place, slave trading is a re convenience of the strong.
They didn't loathe the business; instead, they praised it for being the arbiter of the strong.
Of course, most still loathed and cursed the Montgory family.
If not for their strength, so righteous hero would have already destroyed them.
Entering the building, Maximus was greeted by a warm scene.
If not for looking at the sign, one would even mistake it for a kind of expensive club.
