Chapter 57: Farewell
After the middle-aged man watched the video several times, he still didn't see anything, so he took out the phone and dialed a number to go out. The phone rang for a long time before a woman's lazy voice came: "Hey, Jason, what's the matter? What time is it? It's almost twelve o'clock, isn't it rude to call a lady so late? I don't know that women have to sleep beautifully?"
Hearing the complaint on the phone, Jason ignored the woman's complaints, and said respectfully: "Boss, there is a young man in the casino today, I suspect that he is a good man, but I have watched a few games and I don't see what tricks he used, we can't show evidence and we can't arrest people in person, so we can only let him win." ”
The woman interjected, "How much did he win today? Did we lose a lot?"
Jason hesitated and said, "Today he won more than $260,000, and we lost nearly $1 million in total." ”
The woman said a little unhappily: "I only lost less than $1 million in total, is it enough to disturb my sleep so late for this little thing?"
Jason explained, "I'm bothering you because we had to cheat to get him to stop. ”
When the woman heard this, she immediately changed her lazy voice just now, and said, "What's the matter, make things clear." ”
Jason then recounted the whole process, and finally said: "Just because of his interference, other gamblers also bet with him, otherwise we would not have used cheating." ”
Women also know that Jason only used cheating methods as a last resort, in fact, casinos are not willing to use cheating methods often, when you use it, it will definitely be discovered by someone with a heart, once it is publicized, it will directly affect the reputation of the casino. At that time, casinos are about to face a huge survival test, so most casinos will not easily use cheating methods to earn gamblers' money, unless it is absolutely necessary.
The woman pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they gone?"
"I left, exchanged cash and left, I shouldn't be back today, but I don't know if I'll come tomorrow. Now I wonder if it was a couple of other casinos in the South City that had found someone to smash the field. ”
"I'm not sure of anything now, let's do this for today, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
"That's all there is to it, so what if they don't come tomorrow?"
"Wouldn't it be better not to come, but I think they will come, because their purpose doesn't seem to have been achieved. Hehehehe" The woman let out a sneer without a smile.
When Leo returned home, he didn't alarm the others, and he and Alex had already lost half of the money they had won on the way. At first, Alex said that he didn't want the $130,000, but Leo said to him: "You can take all this money, don't think it's all your own, you use the money you win today, and the money we win in a few days to develop your career and that of your brothers, you can't be a thug for the rest of your life." You've all graduated, you're not going to college, you have to have something to do, and the money is your start-up money. As for what happens in the future, it's up to you. ”
Alex was moved to tears by Leo's words, choked up for a long time and only said a word of thanks, he had long been glad to meet Leo and Anna in his heart, and today he got such a big gift from Leo, he could only secretly swear that he would repay Leo and Anna if he made his career bigger in the future.
Leo lay on the bed, thinking about the scene in the casino today, he hadn't figured out the bottom line of the casino today, but this didn't affect him much, as long as he knew that the casino wouldn't trouble him because of the hundreds of thousands of dollars he won, and the next time he went, he wouldn't let anyone else call, just make a fortune himself.
The next day, the first thing Leo did when he got up was to pay back the money to Emma. Emma took the money and asked him in surprise: "Why didn't you give it to others, didn't you say that your friend was in urgent need?"
Leo said: "Originally, he wanted to borrow from me, but when he came yesterday, he said that he had already borrowed money, and he used a lot of money, so the three thousand could not help him, so there was no need to borrow from me."
Emma didn't ask much, they still have to go to school today, they are going to college soon, and they have to behave well in school, if the school doesn't recommend them to Harvard, they will be in vain. So several people also went out to school together, but as soon as they went out, they saw two cars parked in front of the door, and the cars didn't look very new, one of which was Alex's.
At this time, Alex and one of his brothers got out of the car, and Alex preemptively said, "Leo is early, Anna is early!" We are here to pick you up from school, and my car can't sit down, so let my brother come with me, get in the car." ”
Several people also knew Alex, although it was not far from the school, but it was not easy to help Alex's kindness, so everyone was not polite and got into the car one after another. After getting in the car, Anna asked Alex, "What kind of wind did you smoke today, and how did you remember to pick us up to school?" Is there something you want me and Leo to help with? ”
Alex smiled and replied, "Then what do you want to help with, the surrounding places have been controlled by us since the last incident, and now it's okay." No, we don't have to go to school, and we don't have anything to do all day. It's our job to pick you up from school and after school. ”
Anna still didn't understand what the hell Alex was doing, she looked at Leo who was sitting in the passenger seat with a wicked smile on his face, and thought: "Alex will behave like this, it must have something to do with this guy, I have time to ask what is going on!", women's intuition is always accurate.
Alex drove them to school and drove away, saying that he would pick them up at the end of the evening. Anna couldn't help but pull Leo and asked, "What's the matter with Alex, is it your ghost, is it you who threatened him?" ”
Leo raised his hands and shouted: "I didn't threaten him, he did it voluntarily, what can I do." ”
Anna didn't believe him, and said, "It's strange to believe you, it's not you who threatened him, it must have something to do with you, to be honest!"
Leo was pinched and inhaled, and he couldn't bear to open Anna's hand, so he could only shout: "I said, I said, let go, the meat will be pinched off by you." ”
Anna glared at him and feigned anger: "It's good to know that it's powerful, and tell me what's going on." ”
Leo had no choice but to say: "Last night he came to me to go out to play billiards, and I told him that we were leaving Miami, and he said that he hadn't repaid us yet, so why was he leaving." I said I didn't have to repay us, just pick us up and down from school every day until we left Miami. Originally, I was just joking, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously and come to pick us up from school this morning. After speaking, he showed an innocent expression.
Leo didn't dare to tell Anna the truth, telling her was tantamount to telling Xiaolan, and Xiaolan would definitely not let him gamble if she knew, so ah, it was better to delay it. Tell them when you've earned enough money to buy a house and tuition.
Anna didn't doubt Leo's words either, and Leo was relieved to see that he had fooled the aunt over. It's nothing special to be in school all day, Leo just mixes time at school every day, in fact, now they have already mastered the basic courses in high school and college, and the reason why they still come to school every day is mainly to not attract attention and hide people's eyes.
When Alex and his companions drove to pick them up after school in the evening, they were just about to get into the car, Leo stopped the others and said, "I'll go out with Alex in the evening, and we won't go home for dinner in the evening, so you all get into another car." Everyone heard that they had no opinion, and they all got into another car and went home.
Alex drove Leo to the pizzeria to eat something, and Leo asked, "Did you bring the money, how much did you bring?"
Alex replied, "I heard you say don't let me bring too much, I brought $20,000, is that enough?"
"That's enough, you just bring $2,000, and we can win hundreds of thousands. I just don't know if that casino will still cheat against us today. After saying that, he smiled evilly.
Alex, having seen Leo's skills last night, was convinced of what he said that seemed to be boasting. But he had always been a little curious about Leo's ability, so he asked: "Boss, how do you know the number of dice, I don't think you have anything with you, let alone a thousand dollars." Can your eyes really see through?"
Leo smiled: "I think you've watched too many science fiction movies, if I can see through, why don't you have to watch it for more than two hours before placing a bet." Actually, I wanted to win some money by calculating the probability of the size of the dice, but I didn't expect to discover the secret of the dice by chance. ”
Alex was still puzzled and asked: "What's the secret of dice, isn't it that each dice has six sides, and the points on each side are different." ”
Leo explained: "You're right, because the number of points on each face, that is, the depression on the surface, is different, so they make different sounds when they roll in the air, and they also produce different subtle sounds when they land, and I can judge the number of dice based on these different sounds. ”
Alex opened his mouth wide and looked at Leo in surprise, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and say, "Isn't it, is it, that you can hear it based on those voices? Are you really human?"
Leo touched his nose and sneered: "How can it be as powerful as you say, my hearing is indeed a little stronger than ordinary people, but it is only a little stronger, and the reason why I can tell the difference is because I can hear the difference in sound." Although he said this, he thought to himself, "I don't even know if I'm a human anymore, I should be a human mutant? ”
Alex was still shocked by this explanation, he originally wanted to learn from Leo how to judge the number of dice, and he also wanted to use it to make money, but after knowing the results, he had already dismissed most of the idea of learning. Why is it half and not completely dispelled, because he thought to himself, try it himself tonight, maybe he can hear it.
Leo saw that Alex was still shocked to move there, so he pushed him and said, "One more thing, I want to tell you, I'm leaving Miami with Anna and the rest of my family." We're going to Cambridge to settle down, and we don't know how long we'll be back. ”
Hearing this was no less than knowing Leo's abilities, which surprised Alex even more, and he exclaimed, "What? You are leaving, and you are going to such a far place." Are you never going to come back?"
Leo nodded and said, "It's possible, if it weren't for something special, I think it would be difficult to come back, so I want to help you during this time, after all, we've been together for almost three years." ”
Alex looked at Leo with mixed emotions and was speechless for a long time. He couldn't say anything to save him, and he had no reason to say it. In the end, he could only pat Leo on the shoulder with red eyes and say, "I can only say thank you and Anna for taking care of us now." I know that you are all capable people, and you will definitely become those who stand at the top of the pyramid in the future. At that time, I could only look up to you, but now I feel lucky to be standing by your side. You and Anna have changed us a lot. Hey, I really don't want you to leave. ”
Leo saw that Alex was showing his true feelings, and there was no falsehood in it, so he put his arms around Alex's shoulders and said, "Actually, Anna and I are also very happy to know you, we both treat you as brothers, not subordinates." After we leave, we also hope that you can live a better life, let's work together, who can say in the future, maybe you will also stand at the top of the pyramid and look down on me. ”
Alex also nodded and said: "I will definitely work hard, we will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future, and I will definitely be a help to you instead of a burden." ”
Leo laughed and said, "Okay, it's a word." Let's go win some money at that casino today, hahaha. ”
