"Casino," I briefly replied. "Don't worry, we are near," I added.
"Isn't it a house for gambling?" Leo asked.
"You're right," I replied.
"What are you going to do their?" he asked.
"Make troubles," my silly answer.
"Are you going to gamble money too?" Leo asked. I can't see his emotions because he is in my back and I'm driving.
"Yeah. I just missed it besides, I need more money right now," I honestly replied. I've spent a lot of money in helping other people and buying devices and weapons for Jack and Danny. I'm also paying the 5 guards and servants. I have unexpected financial needs sometimes especially when doing our missions. I need to pay those hired spy and other assets too. You know what, I can help people even I'm alone but I don't want do it this way. I don't want to be always in news and people will think of me like a hero. I don't want people to know that super power truly exist and exposed my identity. I don't want to ruin the balance of the world which most believes that only humans stayed here.
If mortals know that superpower and magic truly exists, they will desire to have it too. More and more troubles will come. Bigger war will happen and more powerful weapons will be made just for evil mortals to fight against us who have superpowers. Once it happened, instead of helping this World to become a better one, I will only start the great war. My dreams will happen and this world will fall into chaoses. I will never let my nightmares come true, no way.
"We are here. Just follow me," I said to Leo.
"Leave your weapons," the guard said.
"I don't have any weapons," I said and looked at the guards face.
"We have to make sure of it. Let me check your body," the other guard said and he rolled his hands all over my body.
"Clear," the guard said and opened the door for me. "Ahhh!" he screamed when I kicked his a*s.
"We are fair now," I said and went inside. Leo is just following me without any words. He is familiarizing everything here in the casino. As usual, I play cards.
"One hundred thousand," I put all the money I brought in the table. We are about to play lucky 9 and the banker smiled on me.
"You're new here, right?" he asked.
"Yeah!" I answered. "Why?" I lift my left eyebrow while looking at the banker.
"Lady, we are starting the bet from five hundred thousand in this table. But, because you look so pretty I will let you in. You will surely lose and go home for just a minute," he said. "HAHAHA!" he boastfully laughed.
"Don't be so sure, we are also your enemy here. This time, I won't lose against you," One of the player said.
"Shall we play or not?" I seriously asked.
A few moments later.
"You're a cheater. How can you straightly win and always have the highest card among us," the banker angrily said. "Men, send her out," he shouted and three guys come closer to me.
"I didn't cheat. It's you who gave me the cards and everyone can see it. You see it too," I said.
"You are hiding some cards elsewhere," he said.
"Just admit that you were defeated. Don't worry, I will go out but I will bring all the money I've won," I said and put all the money inside the bag.
"If you can still go out. You know, we are fighting even against a woman like you when it talks about money," one of the players said.
"Give my money back, cheater," another player said and he stamp his hand on the table. I just wear the back pack and smiled to them. I put on my hood and face mask.
I tried to walk and one of the men hold my right shoulder. I immediately get his hands off my shoulder and fractured his elbow. Then, I kicked him causing him to bumped on the table where we used to play lately. Everyone looked so shocked and some already ran away. The casino become so messy now and I immediately went out too.
Leo is following me and we immediately left the area. Just an hour, I've earned 23,000,000 pesos. Isn't it amazing? I have a lot of expenses and there's no payback from it. I'm sponsoring a lot of charities and organization to help needy people. Well, this is how money goes in and out from me.
"Are we going home now?" Leo asked.
"It's too early," I replied. "Are you sleepy now?" I asked.
"No!" Leo replied.
"Then, let's have a joy ride first," I said and drive the motorbike very fast.
"Hey, don't drive like this," Leo immediately said.
"Don't be a fool. You're an angel," I replied. "HAHAHA!" I laughed at him. He hold on my waist as I drives very fast.
"Still. This is a feeble human body and I don't want to lose it before my mission will be completed," Leo replied.
"Tss. Kill joy. You're already here for a year, are you not yet finished with your mission?" I asked.
"Not yet. I guess it will take a long time before I can finish it," Leo said.
"Why don't you just tell me what is it so that I can help you?" I asked while still driving.
"It's my mission and I have to do it myself," Leo replied.
"Sometimes, it's alright to ask for others help," I insisted my offer besides, I'm really curious what's the mission that he is doing here on earth.
"Thanks for the willingness to help but don't worry, I can do it. It's my job and you don't have to mingle with it. You just have be careful with everything you are doing and keep yourself safe. You already does a lot of things, my mission must not be your concern too," Leo said.
"You just don't want me to know what it is. You don't trust me," I murmured.
"I heard it," Leo said. "I trust you, it's just I can't tell it to you right now," he added.
"Then, when are you going to tell me?" I asked.
