"Of course it's nothing compared to those young Belarusian girls in Christmas costumes. That woman was definitely of legal age, but certainly under twenty-five," Chu Tianjiao said, reminiscing. "Still, she had the most smoking figure on the entire ship, I'm certain of it. She wore a slip dress even more revealing and sexy than a standard casino dealer's, with the slit hiked up to her waist and most of her ass completely exposed."
"That's also a standard distraction tactic used in casinos," Chu Zihang said. "Dealers are usually young, sexy, and attractive women because such girls can lower a guest's guard. When the guests' attention is hooked by the girls' beauty, it becomes much easier for them to use trained sleight-of-hand to tamper slightly with the deal."
"Right, whether it's a massive casino or a small-time den, that's an unspoken standard practice," Chu Tianjiao nodded. "The perfume that dealer wore was even stronger; if you smelled it, it was blended from the exact same ingredients as the perfume those two girls in Christmas costumes had on, probably dialed up in dosage. My guess is that Vincent and the girls weren't affected by that scent because they'd either taken an antidote beforehand or consumed food that could mitigate hallucinogenic effects. After entering the room, that woman very cunningly circled around me a few times—whether to scatter my focus or to leave more of that hallucinogenic scent lingering near me, I couldn't say."
