All Chapters of Summer Waves: Chapter 11 - Chapter 16

Staring at the bottles of antidepressants he got on the courier last night, Sieghal could only calm himself with the thought that his decision to go to the sea was the right one. He had also called Vasco to request a few months' leave to sort out his personal, and look, how lucky he was when Vasco kindly granted him the time off.Sieghal didn't bring much clothing, just like when he first came to Shira. He carefully repacked the clothes in his small suitcase before heading to the dock where Helbert's cruise was moored. He also neatly arranged the bottles of antidepressants he got from the courier, making sure he had counted them correctly to last him throughout his time at sea.Sieghal wasn't sure if it would be enough, but the cruise would dock in Bahrain, where he might be able to get more medication, albeit in a different dosage than what he had.Besides preparing all his belongings, Sieghal also withdrew ten million dollars he got from the lawyer last night. After ensuring he hadn

Sieghal wasn't surprised by the object. He knew it was something he needed while working as a Dealer.It was a pair of special contact lenses with dual infrared, specifically designed for hidden takers. Essentially, these lenses were used by hidden takers to "save" the casino, often dubbed the "secret weapon" to manipulate players and control the game.However, not every dealer or hidden taker had the special authorization to use these lenses. When Sieghal worked at Vasco's casino, he often used them to handle players other hidden takers couldn't manage."Isn't this familiar?"

"Am I going to work alone all the time?""Someone will replace you after you've worked for twelve days and gotten used to being at sea."Helbert suddenly spoke up, not looking at Sieghal but rather at th

A few hours earlier, after Archie mentioned he'd found a replacement hidden taker named Erick Basvel, they called both in for a crucial job discussion. Now, Sieghal was faced with a tough choice, one that seemed impossible to refuse."You want us to do the dirty work?" Sieghal asked, his expression unreadable.Helbert lifted his head, giving Sieghal a cold, piercing stare as if they were enemies. Sieghal felt cornered, unable to refuse his orders.With that irritating look, Helbert said, "Isn't being a hidden taker using contact lenses already illegal?""Sir Dylan, I've told you that what I do here is work. If you don't want me to work according to my skills, then I'm willing to return everything stated in the contract. I don't mind if you agree to this," Sieghal replied.Sieghal felt this was unfair. Sure, he was getting paid a lot, maybe five or eight times more than Helbert paid others, but he didn't expect the high pay to come with huge risks, like a trap set by Helbert to keep hi
