Chương 322: Fights - Gains and Losses

I quickly tried to compose myself from what had happened and I took note of everyone that had the same reaction as us. A third of the audience seemed to be newcomers like us though we can't always say for sure. The next fight quickly followed and it's between two guys betting three cartons of cigarettes for a .38 Special revolver. I was expecting a high-level fight but it was a mud-fight right from the get go. I slightly lost interest then I saw Ilya approaching me with a smile.

"Here, I scored myself something really easy." Ilya said after handing my Tavor back while still in the same getup. However, the Remington 700 and the two boxes of ammo are not in his person. Not only that, ten rounds of 5.56 is missing from one of the magazines.

"Must be the house's cut." I thought to myself.

I looked at him briefly to check if I'm right by lifting the magazine and he nodded.

"Yeah, they receive a small cut from the winnings. I think it's how they stay afloat." he added.
