Chapter 744: If you want to be protected, you must first show your sincerity
Although he was confident in front of Evans Jr., Lucas couldn't help but get nervous while sitting in the reception room and waiting.
Although he said that he brought news that was very valuable to Mr. Owen, Lucas, who only knew that Mr. Owen had a lot of influence in Las Vegas, did not know whether the news he knew was useful to Owen.
It can be said that Lucas's visit to Owen this time was simply gambling. Bet on a chance, bet on a possibility, bet on the secrets you know about Jianguo** have what Mr. Owen needs.
So much so that in this state of tension, little Evans didn't even pay attention to the obviously a little more detached tone when he called himself to see Mr. Owen.
"Lucas, Mr. Owen has agreed to see you. β
Little Evans pushed open the door of the reception room very suddenly, and stood at the door and waved to Lucas, who was in a daze. After hearing the call, Lucas naturally put down the coffee cup in front of him, got up and walked in the direction of little Evans.
"To see Mr. Owen is to be searched, and if there is anything inconvenient, be sure to take it out in advance. Weapons, recording, pinhole cameras are not allowed. β
Little Anvens tried to calmly introduce Uncle Lucas to the rules of meeting his boss, but he seemed to be able to see his boss when he said every word. Both sides can see through people's hearts.
After a few checks, Lucas, uncomplaining, finally arrived at the door of Owen's office.
Little Evans took a deep breath and knocked on the door nervously.
"Mr. Owen, Mr. Lucas has arrived. β
After acting as a briefer, little Evans, who was already nervous, once again renewed the nerves in his body.
"Enter. β
Hearing the answer coming from the room, little Evans pushed his Uncle Lucas very decisively, relieved as if he had finally forgotten his task, and then consciously retreated to a place not far away to keep a certain distance from Lucas.
After Mr. Owen's warning. If he is still stupid and takes everything on himself, then he is really stupid and hopeless.
Although it is not ruled out that Uncle Lucas had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Owen, in any case, his current status is given by Mr. Owen. How can there be no indication of a point after just going through the warning?
Just when little Evans was feeling relieved that he had finally completed his mission, Lucas, who entered Mr. Owen's office, ushered in his biggest problem by sneaking out of the hotel.
"Good morning, Mr. Owen. Glad to meet you. I'm Xavier Lucas. I think William Jr. should have told you about me. β
Lucas struggled to put a false smile mask on his face and stood in front of Mr. Owen.
Although Lucas had greeted him very politely, Owen didn't mean to shake hands with him, but just sat in his boss's chair and seriously looked at this guy who was now in the center of the whirlpool and didn't know it.
Smart, treacherous, rebellious, self-righteous.
After looking at Lucas from head to toe, Owen had this conclusion in his mind. So the expression on his face and his hair became unfathomable.
It's not a blessing to have a guy like that, either as a subordinate or as a friend.
"I heard you have information to tell me?"
Mr. Owen adjusted his thoughts and crossed his legs in front of Lucas.
"Yes. About the latest policy of the Nation towards people like Mr. Owen. I wonder if Mr. Owen is interested?"
Lucas still smirked back, already in his heart
After looking at himself, he still didn't let himself sit down, and he felt a little resentful.
"Oh, can you elaborate a little more?"
Owen raised his eyebrows, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some surprise, and suddenly became interested in what the other party was going to say.
Although after being reminded by Andrew's way, he will definitely not interfere in the affairs of the person in front of him. But that doesn't mean you can't take the opportunity to get some useful information to make your business more secure, does it?
After all, Las Vegas is the Las Vegas of the country. Therefore, even if you have power here, no matter how big the business is, you will inevitably be subject to the checks and balances of Jianguo**.
I just don't know what kind of surprise this guy named Lucas will bring to himself.
"Tell me a little more detail, then I'd like to think about it...... Is it okay to have the truth about the death of Jordan, a bank shareholder who crashed more than a month ago?"
Lucas quietly looked at the boss in front of him, who was definitely not simple, and threw his first chip.
"You want to say that that guy's death was not an accident?, Mr. Lucas, I think you should have come up with some heavier and more sincere news to tell me, rather than the gossip of the younger second generation to seek a guarantee from me. β
Mr. Owen shook his head slowly, pretending to refuse Lucas's first information.
Although Mr. Owen did not know what the banker had died, the kind of financial man on the other side had little to do with his business.
So, curiosity is secondary. First of all, the death of the banker, who he had no business dealings with, has nothing to do with him at present.
"Mr. Owen, do you think these things have nothing to do with you? What if I say that this is just the beginning of a plan?"
Lucas, though a little frustrated, was that Mr. Owen did not notice the importance of what he had said. But if a person has to bow his head under the roof, even if he feels frustrated, it will not help, then it is better to find a way to arouse the other person's interest in the matter.
After hearing Lucas's words again, Owen's eyes shrank slightly. I was surprised by the news that came out of the opening remarks.
If only it were the beginning...... Is it because Lucas himself is on that list that has been processed?
By the way, how did a mercenary like Lucas hear about his reputation?
Or did the other person simply see their name on that list and remember themselves?
For a moment, Owen's mind was filled with a lot of thoughts, and this kind of conspiracy theory quickly squeezed his brain, making her want to stop and find out what else the other party knew.
It's just Andrew's warning......
Owen was frustrated that he couldn't hear everything. But as a well-informed and very intelligent guy, even if he knows that it is not easy to get the information that he relies on from the helpless guy in front of him, it is obviously not his style to give up without even trying.
"What do you want?"
Mr. Owen tapped his pen lightly on his desk, and a pair of light blue eyes looked very seriously at the guy in front of him who was still straightening his back in a desperate situation and wanted to survive on his own cleverness.
"I want Mr. Owen to keep me safe. β
Lucas breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes stared at the guy sitting alone in the boss's chair in front of him with extremely serious eyes, but his palms began to get wet from a lot of sweat.
In fact, not only the palms of his hands, but also the forehead and back covered by his hair, where Mr. Owen could not see, began to sweat profusely.
"Keeping you safe?"
Hearing Lucas's ridiculous request, which was obviously childish, Owen, who had always kept a serious face, couldn't help but laugh, as if he had heard a joke.
"Mr. Lucas really thinks highly of me! Do you think I can snatch people from the hands of that group of operatives in Huaxia, or can I keep the ** people with search warrants out of my own acres and thirds?"
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if I had the ability, helping you would undoubtedly put me on the opposite side of the guys you talked about in advance. In that case, why should I take on myself to take in a guy like you, who everyone feels like a bite?"
Although Owen was only stating the facts in the process of saying these words, he did not mock Lucas. But this sentence is so unbearable and embarrassing to Lucas's ears.
Owen's words didn't stop because of Lucas's embarrassment. Even better, it's hard to accept.
"So are you too naΓ―ve or am I too stupid?, Mr. Lucas, I think an elite mercenary like you should know the chips and conditions needed to ask for help. β
"If you're coming in good faith, then I think you should think about how you can improve your stacks, rather than using the news that doesn't do me any good. β
Owen continued. And as Lucas's face became more and more gloomy, Lucas finally made up his mind and said the most important news in his hand.
"If Mr. Owen thinks so, then I do have one more piece of key news. It's about the upcoming Night of the Gamblers, so I wonder if this is not attractive to Mr. Owen?"
