Chapter 1: The Dawn of Strength (1)

A desolate Nevada desert with rattlesnakes, cacti, scorpions, a scorching climate, and a dreamy city.

Get out of Los Angeles and take Highway 15 to Las Vegas, the world's largest gambling city, in just three and a half hours.

The highway from Los Angeles to Las Vegas is bustling with traffic, and on weekends, the two-way eight-lane highway is jammed with traffic. Every day, dozens of "fortune buses" carrying 50 or 60 passengers run on Highway 15, which are filled with gold diggers who dream of making a fortune in the casino.

At this moment, a "fortune bus" full of passengers is speeding towards the casino, most of whom are regular casino customers, nearly half of whom are Chinese. The passengers seemed to be familiar with each other and greeted each other on the bus:

"Lao Li, are you going to pay taxes to the casino again?"

"Alas, there is no way, for this hobby, of course we gamblers have to pay regular taxes to the casino. ”

"Take it easy, don't pay too much, the casino is a bottomless pit. ”

"Look, this time I'll ask them to give me some tax refunds and spit out all the fucking money I paid before!"

In the uproar of the crowd, a handsome and dashing young man sat silently by the car window, his calm expression was incompatible with the lively scene around him, his eyes kept looking at the scenery flashing outside the car window, and what was surprising was the deck of pokers he kept fiddling with in his hand, and the brand-new playing cards quickly spread out like a paper fan. Together, they split into two stacks for a while, flying up and down alternately, as dazzling as if by magic, while his eyes kept looking out the car window, not looking at the poker in his hand at all, as if it were not him who was playing the cards.

This young man is Jiang Wuwei, a young man in his early twenties who has not yet graduated from college, and the day after he set foot in the United States, he went straight to the casino.

Like countless young people who came to the United States with dreams, Jiang Wuwei also realized his ideals, but his ideals were different from others, and he came here for only one purpose: to become the world gambling king.

The people on the bus were carrying a large amount of cash, checks, and credit cards, and Jiang Wuwei was almost penniless at this time, with less than ten dollars left in his pocket, as well as a ticket for the "fortune bus" bought for $15 at the agency, and $32 for the ticket when he arrived in Las Vegas. However, these few small coins that no one picked up on the streets in the casino are not enough to drink cold water in Las Vegas, let alone gamble.

If others come to Las Vegas to fly a kite that gets rich overnight, then Jiang Wuwei is to daydream.

The car drove for more than an hour, and there was a sudden commotion in the quiet car, and Wu Wei withdrew his gaze from the window to look forward. I saw two people standing at the front of the car, with stockings on their heads and Colt 9mm caliber pistols in their hands. One of them put a gun to the driver's head and yelled, "Robbery!"

Another man held a pocket in one hand and brandished a pistol in the other, and shouted to the passengers: "Don't move, hand over all your money and jewelry." ”

Seeing this scene, Wuwei was taken aback, the robbery had only been seen in the movie before, but I didn't expect it to be encountered. But soon he calmed down, and wanted to see how things were going before he said that he had no money anyway, and he was not afraid of being robbed, if it was really only these two robbers, he really didn't take them seriously.

From the clothes of the two robbers, Wu Wei recognized the two as passengers on the bus, because when he got on the bus, he found that these two people were similar to his own age, and the others were much older than him, and most of the guests who took the "fortune bus" to the casino were retired old people, so these two people were very conspicuous, and they were standard Asians, Wu Wei looked at them twice when he got on the bus, and from the thin and short stature of the two people, he judged that they might be people from Southeast Asia.

At this time, the driver's voice came from the loudspeaker in the car, and it turned out that the driver was afraid that the passengers would be in danger, so he hurriedly said to the guest with a loudspeaker: "Please cooperate with them, hand over all the cash you bring to the robbers, and after arriving at the casino, the company will compensate you according to the amount of the passengers who have been robbed." ”

When he heard this, he didn't believe what the driver said, thinking that the driver couldn't be with the robbers, right? He had never heard of such a thing, and the passengers obviously doubted the driver's words, but in the face of the black hole of the gun, they had to take out all the cash. Young people with pockets began to collect cash from travelers, as well as gold watches, jewelry, and other valuable valuables. It's not like a robbery, it's as convenient as picking things up in your own home.

The guns in the robbers' hands kept shaking, shouting in English: "Hurry up, put all the money in your pocket, hurry up!

The guy who collected money from the passengers was getting closer and closer to Wuwei, only three or four meters away, and Wuwei was quickly thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him in his brain. At this time, an old white man said to the robbers, "This is my pension, why can't young people come and rob us?" Wu Wei handed the playing cards from his right hand to his left hand, took it and flipped a few flowers in his left hand.

Wuwei, who grew up under the training of scouts, is subconsciously full of a sense of justice, and he can't see this kind of banditry the most, and now Wuwei is worried that the robbers will hurt other passengers, and the robbers are two people, and the robbers in front of the car are more than ten meters away from Wuwei, and it is difficult for him to subdue two people at the same time. Time ran out of time, and he decided to subdue the robbers in front of him first.

The guy with the pocket to collect money stood in the aisle in the middle of the bus, his body kept turning back and forth to both sides, and the side was collecting money from the passengers, just when he was about to turn around to face the passengers on the other side, Wuwei waved his right hand, and the playing card in his hand shot out like a white lightning bolt, and pierced into his wrist holding the gun, and the robber screamed "ah", and the pistol fell at his feet.

At the same time, the second poker flew out again, like a sharp throwing knife, and suddenly cut open the stockings on his face, and a deep wound was cut on his face, and blood flowed down instantly.

At this time, the robber had not yet seen what weapon had injured him, and covered his face with a scream. The passengers sitting in front of them looked back when they heard the screams.

At this time, Wuwei jumped up, rushed to the robber's side in one step, grabbed his neck with one hand, and then hooked the pistol that fell on the floor with his foot, and gently picked it up, the pistol flew up, and was accurately grasped by Wuwei in his hand. A series of movements was carried out in one go, and before the passengers could understand it, he had already subdued a robber.
