Chapter 195: Getting the Grand Prize in the Game Competition
Elton's face was a little pale, and he said helplessly:
"Alas, I had bad luck today and ended up scoring only 36 points. ”
"What?!" Wayne looked at Elton in disbelief, "haven't you been bragging about your gambling skills? out of 100, you're not halfway there! ”
36 points, less than the middle 50 points...... This shows that Elton comes to this kind of place to give money to others!
At this time, Bonnie immediately raised her hand and said excitedly:
"Sister Wayne, don't worry, we're ...... No, it's Chris, he scored 86 points today. That adds up to 222 points, and we're definitely going to get the prize money. ”
After hearing Bonnie's voice, Wayne, Paul, and Elton all looked at Chris in surprise, and Elton exclaimed:
"Chris, I didn't expect you kid to hide it deeply, you are the gambling god in our team. ”
As if thinking of something, Elton patted Chris on the shoulder and said with a wink:
"When I have time in the future, my brother will take you to play together. ”
"Elton, don't you take your little brother Chris badly. Wayne glanced at Elton beside him, raised his eyebrows, and his expression changed from loss to surprise, "Chris can, I don't usually see that you are still proficient in this." It's not like someone, whose card skills stink so much, and he brags about himself every day. ”
In fact, "Chris" is completely capable of scoring full marks through extraordinary ability, but considering that the consequences of doing so will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the gambling house, this is only an occasional mistake.
That's it, Bonnie, who came to this kind of place for the first time, has been looking at herself with adoring eyes.
Therefore, Chris's face was slightly red at this time, and it was really difficult to talk about it now, after all, it was someone else's credit.
From the end of the game just now, he had regained the right to use this body.
looked at Bonnie, who had been following her, and there was nothing abnormal except for some infrared on her face. It doesn't appear that he has done anything else out of the ordinary.
But this is also normal, a place like a casino will inevitably make people's hearts beat faster, no wonder this kind of place in the previous life will artificially add oxygen.
After nearly half an hour of statistics and preparation, the host Carey walked to the stage, looked at the players with different expressions in the audience, and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the final results have come out, I will now report this game competition from the lowest score in turn, and the final total score of each squad's three games is ......"
After 10 minutes of reading, the host read the three groups that actually won the prize at the end.
"Third place is the group represented by Sophie Cook, congratulations on receiving a 50 pound reward from our 'Berta Entertainment Casino'!"
Hearing this, Wayne and the others couldn't help but get nervous, as long as they didn't read it next, then the biggest prize this time would be theirs.
"The second place is the group represented by Cooper Shelley, congratulations, you got a prize of 100 pounds! Finally, the first place in our game contest today, the group represented by Wayne Giles, congratulations, you have won our grand prize this time, a full 200 pounds!"
Chris who finally let go of the stone in his heart showed a happy look, a few days ago Wayne also said that he would take them to win the third prize, but he didn't expect that today's Chris gambling skills and luck exploded, and they actually helped them get such a high score.
After Wayne went to the backstage to verify his identity and successfully received the bonus, Chris and his party left the gambling house.
Their private carriage was parked in front of the door, but in the morning Wayne asked the old coachman Marjorie to go back first, so for the time being, Chris was still their coachman.
At this time, the streets of the South District are still full of pedestrians, in addition to various lively bars, gambling houses and theaters, some food and beverage restaurants are not closed.
"Sister Wayne, let's go eat at a nearby restaurant, where the sauce steak is good. Bonnie suggested.
Because he had just received a large fortune of 200 pounds, Wayne was very happy to lead everyone to the more mid-range restaurant.
By the time Chris had dinner, it was already 10 p.m.
So Chris took Wayne and Bonnie to the police station on Pruka Street, where they were on duty tonight, and then Chris took Elton and Paul back home.
And at this time, in the city lord's mansion of the northern district.
In a study on the second floor, Brandt, the Earl of Wellington's personal valet, walked in with a note and said respectfully:
"Master, the final results of the three gambling houses have come out. ”
Wellington, who was sitting in the chair, had already changed into a high-end dress, wearing relatively loose and comfortable clothes, took Brandt's note, read it for a few minutes, and said:
"You go and call Zach right now. ”
After about five minutes, Zack, the dark guard, walked in, while Brant stood guard outside the door of the study.
Although everyone in the City Lord's Mansion, including Lady Sally, did not dare to stay outside the Earl of Wellington's study at will, just in case, every time the Earl of Wellington made an appointment to talk in the study, Brant would stay outside the door.
"Zach, look at this note. Wellington handed the note to Zach.
After Zach took it with both hands, he quickly saw an extremely familiar name in the second line.
"If I'm not mistaken, the one in there, Chris Simon, is the boy you mentioned earlier. Wellington reached out and touched the two delicately trimmed mustaches on his lips, and said thoughtfully.
Just a few days ago, Zach reported that Sally was likely a member of the "Gates of Hades" and may have been involved in the tragedy twelve years ago.
Over the years, Wellington has asked Zach to investigate the person related to Sally, and naturally he has investigated the guard named Ryan.
The name Chris had been heard when Wellington first asked Zach to investigate Ryan, but at the time Zach reported that he was still a student at the University of Federenburg, who had been adopted by Ryan's father, Cole Simon, and had been a coachman in a private carriage since Cole's death.
Then the second time was that after Wellington visited the Archbishop of the Constant Sun, Zach mentioned a "punisher" named Chris Simon, as a person in power in the city, Wellington naturally easily saw that Zack was helping him implicitly, so he generously promised not to trouble him.
The third time I learned from Sally that Waldhouse, the "punisher" corps of the Church of the God of Machines and Intelligence, had come to visit with a teenager named Chris, because there was a wild extraordinary, and he was also a "witch" in the house.
Because Wellington didn't know Sally's true face at that time, he vigorously screened the guards and maids of the entire City Lord's Mansion in those days, and really found out a few suspicious people.
And today is the fourth time I have seen this name, and although I have never seen him in person, Wellington is no stranger to this name.
Seeing the name of the little friend on the note, Zach showed a wry smile on his face and replied:
"Yes, my lord, he is the adopted son of Ryan's father, and he is still a 'Punisher', and he is now 12 years old, and it seems that he has just joined the 'Punisher'. But he's a 'scholar', and he's also a 'scholar' path to Sequence 8 'Arcanist'. ”
After hearing Zach's answer, Wellington fell into deep thought, although 12 years old is a good age, but he is not an extraordinary person in the "gambler" pathway......
After a minute of silence, Wellington asked:
"I've heard people say that once an extraordinary person chooses a certain path, he can't change it halfway, and does this also apply to those who are born extraordinary?"
"I don't know much about this, but what is certain is that if the extraordinary person has the extraordinary properties of both pathways in his body, the final outcome will be crazy and out of control. Zach replied with a serious expression.
Although Wellington was not an extraordinary person, as the lord of Federenburg, born into a century-old aristocratic family, he naturally knew a lot about the extraordinary. What's more, his father was also an extraordinary person during his lifetime.
"If that's the case, it can't be him. Wellington stroked his mustache, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Since they weren't 'gamblers,' how did they win the final prize?"
Zach glanced at the name on the note, and after confirming that it was correct, he replied:
"There are several other 'punishers' in this, and Vayne seems to be a 'decryptor', so she should be relied on to get high scores. ”
Wellington nodded, it was only the first day of the game, and there were still two days left, and it seemed that the final result would only be known after the end of this game.
"You write down all the people who have won the rewards above, forget the few official extraordinaires, and investigate the information of the others to see if anyone may be a 'gambler'. ”
"Understood. Zach put the note back on the table, nodded to the Earl of Wellington, and turned away.
After Zach walked out of the room, Brant, who was guarding the door, walked up to Wellington and obeyed his master's instructions.
Wellington handed the note on the table to Brandt, and commanded:
"Write down the names and burn the note. ”
After saying that, Wellington went back to his bedroom by himself, ready to go to bed, after all, he accompanied Mr. Gabriel to the three gambling houses non-stop today, and he was already very tired as an ordinary person.
And then there are two more days, and if the Earl of Wellington still can't find a single "gambler" or clues related to "gamblers" after the three-day game, then it will be even more difficult for him to find his and Sofia's second son, Harry.
