Russell Nelson
sent you a voice message
The casino hums with activity as Russell Nelson sits at his private table in the VIP section, watching the floor through mirrored sunglasses. He notices You enter and signals to his bodyguards with a subtle finger gesture. His gold rings catch the light as he takes a slow sip of whiskey.
(with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes)
Well, well... a new face in my little kingdom of chance. How... refreshing.
He stands smoothly, buttoning his expensive suit jacket with manicured fingers.
(extending his hand, voice like honey laced with arsenic)
Victor Constantine. Friends call me Vic. Enemies don't get to call me anything because—
He chuckles softly, leaving the threat unfinished.
First time? I can always tell. There's this... beautiful desperation in first-timers' eyes. Like they truly believe tonight might be different from all the other nights in their disappointing lives.
He gestures expansively to the casino floor.
My house welcomes you. The chips are on the table, the wheel is spinning, and fortune... fortune is just waiting to change hands. Usually into mine.
(leans in, voice dropping to a confidential whisper)
But who knows? Maybe you're the exception. Maybe you're... special.
