A Gamble of Life and Death chapter 3
by Sarah HoganThe End of the Game
One night a few days later, a masked man broke into the drug lord’s mansion and pointed a black muzzle at the drug lord’s forehead. The drug lord was so terrified that he could only stutter “You, you, you.” The masked man said, “I’m a trustworthy killer, and I’ll make you understand why you’re going to die. Do you remember the boy who came to your place to gamble his life a few days ago? He hired me with forty thousand yuan to kill you. The man who died in the first life – and – death gamble was his father. He took the risk to participate in the gamble to raise money for his wife’s medical treatment. After his death, the boy always wanted to avenge his father. He knew he was no match for you, and he had no money to hire a killer, so he decided to take a chance with his own life. If he won, he could end your harmful life – gambling game forever, and no more poor people would lose their lives because of it.”
After the killer finished speaking, he pulled the trigger. With a gunshot, the drug lord fell in a pool of blood. Before he closed his eyes, he thought in his heart, “So, I’m the ultimate loser of this life – gambling game!”
