The two new cards I was dealt might prove that the gamble was right, because I always have an ivory thumb in this game of gambling. Evenly matched, very lucky, and inextricably squeezed out a slight advantage through the sting of smoke. I can only hope that my good old poker partners, who all have a full house and a straight, think I'm trying to scare off my opponents with big bets.

In order to stop the absurd behavior of the impostor, Philip set out for Israel. In the process of tracking the impostor, he encountered various people and things, which led to critical thinking about his own superiority and justice.
