16 episodes. Ah, what a hell ship!

“He’s my best friend. Thanks to him, I found out that the ability of Clairvoyant actually exists.”

it’s past tense

Then they are no longer friends, or they are no longer alive.

In terms of atmosphere, it’s probably the latter.

I asked carefully.

“It looks like he’s dead.”

“Yeah, it’s been about 5 years. Gary was once called the world’s 3rd greatest gambler along with Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and the King of Brunei.”

weaponry? King of Brunei?

It sounds like you have a lot of money just for a job.

People who spend money like water.

It’s terrifying to be called by such people.

“At first, my eyes were drawn to the fact that he could easily make money. At that time, there was no system for prohibiting access to casinos, and there was no system to share information about outstanding gamblers. It was after I decided not to use my abilities that I became one of the top gamblers in the world.”

“Why?”

“It was so overwhelming that it wasn’t fun to watch. After a few years of undefeated streak, when the friend appeared, the local casinos heard the news and were busy proposing a closure.”

Wow, a live shutdown.

“It’s not fun to watch from the side, and it’s not fun to play games on your own, so you can’t help but lose your pulse. So that friend has been in business since then.”

Yes, men tend to run a business when they have money left over.

The capital will not dry up, so what can I do?

“Business was also booming. He also had a business temperament, but he said it was more fun to have a formidable rival.”

“Is that rival you?”

“No. I was just the friend’s assistant. Have you ever heard of Robert Bardock?”

“I think I’ve heard of it, but I don’t know.”

“Anyway, all you need to know is that he is one of the world’s leading media tycoons. His rival was my friend.”

Is it friendliness?

Anyway, when talking about the past, it seems that it is common to all countries that the eyes of elderly people become dazzling.

Did I say that the older you get, the more memories you eat?

“You have a great friend. So, have you been looking for someone with the same abilities as him?”

“Don’t stop talking to the old man, listen more.”

Oh yes.

“Anyway, that friend had no choice but to succeed in life. But after some success, he stopped using Clairvoyant’s powers. Why would that be?”

“It must be because it was successful. Since it was successful in business, money would have made money, so there is no need to gamble with obvious results in a casino.”

“That’s right. It’s boring. Being successful as a gambler and as a businessman is no fun. From then on, I started gambles without using my abilities.”

After taking a sip of the wine, Henry continued.

“It took a few trials and errors, but maybe it was because of the experience that he had, he eventually became one of the best gamblers in the world.

“Why?”

“He was a bastard. Now, he has devoured his father’s media group and has only one casino group left. Gary thought his son was the way he was because he had spent his life in the casino.”

If it weren’t for that, I think I would have been a nerd.

It’s up to you to think

But I guess he’s a huge conglomerate.

The media ‘group’ was rolled up, but the casino ‘group’ remains.

A group that is neither a company nor a group.

Have you ever regretted your past life? OMG.

“If I hadn’t jumped into the casino, if I had taken care of my family rather than my business, I would have regretted that.

Well, it’s a pattern I’ve heard of somewhere.

After success, look back on your own life and live your life helping others.

Is it to fill the emotions that I don’t know well but are not satisfied with material success?

I don’t know because I haven’t tried it with success, but the fact that there are many such cases means there must be a reason.

“And it was only then that I found out. How stupid I was.”

“Did you say it was stupid?”

“Yeah. Clairvoyant. Even if it wasn’t for gamble, depending on how you use it, you could have used it for a good amount of time, but you spent the first half of your life gambling, and you didn’t spend it in the second half.”

Henry said as he put down his wine glass and brought his upper body closer to me.

“I wanted to see the life of a person who uses Clairvoyant’s abilities in a different way than that friend. I’m too old to see you for long, but if I watch your life while I’m still alive and die, go to another world and see that friend. I think I have a lot to tell you.”

“……”

It’s different than gambling…

Right now, I can only think of medicine like Natasha Demkina.

What more can you do with clairvoyance?

I also want to make money… I want to be rich…

“Mr. Jean. You’re still small. That’s why you’re only being swayed by your abilities. The proof that you put a little bit of pressure on the input was wrong.”

“……”

“Raise a bowl and put your powers in it. If you don’t waver, your powers won’t.”

“You mean no more gamble…?”

Ah, I hate to ask such a question in this atmosphere.

By the way… By the way, I made 1.5 billion won today.

I made that kind of money in one day, can’t I just say “don’t do it?”

Just looking at the casino sign makes me shake.

Oh my gosh, the bowl is definitely small.

“Hahahaha. When did I tell you not to do it? I mean, don’t invest your whole life like Gary’s friend. Think of gamble as just insurance to enjoy life.”

“insurance……”

“Um… no, isn’t it too hard? How about this? A wallet that can fill my pocket at any time?”

Oh my, wallet.

Yeah, you’re saying don’t bet your life on your wallet.

“Live a life worth living. Don’t waste your abilities. You have gained special abilities, so live a special life.”

***

I left The Stars and walked blindly.

It was well past midnight, but it was not a step to return to the backpack.

Tonight, the casino provides a hotel deluxe room, so I’m going to sleep.

Then why are you doing this late at night?

Because thinking is complicated.

‘Because you have acquired a special ability, live a special life…’

Henry’s words resonated greatly in my heart.

Actually, the word itself doesn’t make much of a difference, right?

Growing up, it was a phrase I often heard on TV shows and lectures.

– You are special in your own way. Hundreds of millions of sperm were born into the world by meeting an egg through a great competition!

It warms the heart with the background music that starts with ‘You were born to be loved’.

But only then.

I found out as I grew up.

I know there’s nothing special about it.

Especially when I came out in society, I knew more deeply, that I was just an accessory.

But if you add the word ‘because you have acquired a special ability’ in front of it, it changes.

It’s like when I first saw a lecture about you being special.

No, I’m not the immature rapper back then, so I have to express it more intensely.

sparkle.

The chip in my hand shone beautifully because it reflected the moonlight.

It was a ten-billion-dollar chip for winning the last round.

Henry gave it to me and informed me that I would be treated as a VVIP at any casino in Australia.

Of course, he said he could exchange it for money if he wanted to.

And he told me that my life is not just ten million dollars, so if you think it’s worth more than ten million dollars, you should spend it.

Along with the saying that it is also a way to grow a bowl.

‘A life worth living…’

Have you read it in a book or heard it in a lecture?

It’s the first time I’ve heard such a thing from anyone in person.

Mentor in life? teacher? I used these words lightly, but never felt as heavy as this time.

My teacher’s grace is just one of the lyrics in the long and long Korean regular education process, where is the mentor?

I was young because I was sick, so I learned to crash and break while charging with bare body.

Some say that’s the fastest way to learn.

shit shit

Henry, on the other hand, had a brief meeting of less than an hour, but left a stronger impact than the one spent in Korea.

The impact of being a teacher or a mentor.

Of course, there was something like self-satisfaction mixed with friendship rather than pure favor, but it was just that I got the impression that it was the first time I was born that way and ‘learned a few things’.

Yeah, that’s what’s important.

As I walked aimlessly, I came to a space like a square.

It is a place facing the sea.

station? marina?

I looked at the sign and it said Circular Key.

I go right in front of the sea,

‘Wow! Opera House.’

I could see the Sydney Opera House shining white and soft in the night light.

On the other side was the orange-clad Harbor Bridge.

Unintentionally seeing the landmark reminded me that I was in Australia again.

Is this the beauty of travel again?

I leaned against the iron railing and stared blankly at the Opera House.

about a minute?

After a while, I thought it was just that.

Oh, you’re talking about the Opera House.

‘I didn’t bring my camera. Well, today is not the only day.’

I think that’s why there is a saying that all that’s left is a picture.

I fell asleep while breathing in the sea breeze.

Of course, these are the words Henry gave me. And before coming to Australia, it’s something I thought about as if I had promised myself.

how to live

What I like, what I am good at. Whatever it is, let’s not live like it used to be.

Obviously I thought so and left Korea.

‘By the way, your eyes are turned over by money.’

I ate Vietnamese rice noodles at a casino restaurant and thought that money was the best.

It’s a job I like, it’s shit, and capitalism is money.

I thought that maybe Henry wanted to correct the way I was.

If you’ve been watching me from the second floor.

‘Money is already enough.’

If you add the gold chips, it’s 11.5 billion.

If you go back to Korea like this, you won’t have to worry about money until you die.

We will be able to pay off the remaining debts in our house and become the owner of a building that is above the creator and live comfortably for the rest of our lives while receiving monthly rent.

Hehe, I’m thinking about this again.

Also, the bowl is small.

The old man’s eyes are tired.

– I heard you came on a working holiday visa. What about thinking about immigration?

Henry was the last to throw those words to me.

It seems like you want to watch my progress for a while.

It’s been less than a week since I came to Australia, but I’m getting immigration advice from a wealthy man.

What is this? After coming here, I keep filming and filming dramas.

The reason I was shaken by that word was because of the next words that followed.

The old man speaks very well.

-You cannot choose the country you were born in, but you can choose the country you will live in.

Abandon Korea…

Ah, what a hell ship!
