Chapter 604: A Strange Gamble
I thought Old Jack would hesitate, but I didn't expect the other party to agree: "Mr. Wang, you may not know me." One of my biggest passions in life is gambling, and I really enjoy the thrill of winning and losing. For me, investing in you is a gamble. ”
I looked at the other party curiously: "If, you lose the bet." Not only will you not get anything, and you may be dragged to hell by me, but your family will also be dragged to hell with us. ”
Old Jack spread his hands and said, "Dear Mr. Wang, I'm afraid you don't know, my family and I have been in hell for a long time, and we don't mind going a little deeper into hell. ”
Old Jack lit a cigar and leaned back on the couch as he spoke, looking as if he was waiting for my decision.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, I reached out and said, "Happy cooperation!"
Old Jack put his hand in the air: "I believe in your high-five, it is said that as long as the people of the rivers and lakes in China give high-fives, they will never repent, and your oath will be witnessed by the gods." Although I am not a Chinese, and there are no Chinese gods in Britain, I believe in your credibility after high-five. ”
I raised my hand and exchanged three palms with each other before saying, "My target is the Scarlet Tulip Family, how can I touch them?"
Old Jack couldn't help frowning, I felt half cold when I saw the other party's expression, but unexpectedly, Old Jack said: "I can't touch the blood tulips, but there is a person who can, I can take you to meet him, but ......"
Old Jack said in a deep voice, "You have to keep me safe. I won't bring any bodyguards with me this time. If it comes to light, I will claim to be controlled by you. If you agree, I can take you to someone. ”
"No problem!" I said, giving Old Jack a thumbs up. With Old Jack's bearing alone, he is worthy of the king of the underground.
Old Jack quickly arranged everything and drove us to the city center: "Mr. Wang, do you know the Wyke Club?"
I nodded, "I've heard a little bit, you're going to take the guy I'm looking for in the club?"
I've only heard of the famous Wyke Club, which has a history of more than 250 years in Britain, which started as a hot chocolate drink, and has since grown to become one of the world's top private clubs.
The Wye Club is known for its bizarre gambling. The most famous of these is a bet of three thousand pounds on which of the two raindrops on the window pane will flow first.
There are some more interesting things about the Wyke Club, first of all, ladies are not allowed to enter. In addition, men who wish to join the club must be invited by one of the current members and approved by the other two members.
There are only a handful of people who can be invited by club members, and they are either rich or expensive. Wyke may only be a private club, but he has a significant role in Britain.
Old Jack said, "Of course, that person's name is Karen." However, he prefers to be called an old wolf. He claims to have the resilience and cunning of a wolf. The guy was very gambled. Only gambling can arouse his interest. ”
"His relationship with the Scarlet Tulip family is very delicate, but it can be said that it is an enemy, but it can also be said that it is a friend. If you can conquer the old wolf. He could have taken you into the Scarlet Tulips. ”
I looked back at Old Jack, "How can I conquer him?"
"By your Oriental Mysteries. Old Jack said, "I can bet with him, and the rest is up to you." As long as your Eastern Secret Technique can cause him to be shocked. The rest can be discussed with him alone. ”
Old Jack's voice paused: "As for how to impress the old wolf, you can think about it." Old Wolves aren't in the club every day. If you miss today, you don't know when the next time you see the old wolf. ”
After old Jack had finished speaking, I didn't speak again. It's not hard to cause a person to be shocked, but the hard thing is, how can I cause the other person to be shocked in just a few minutes when I don't know anything about him?
The review of the Wyke Club was extremely strict, even if there was Old Jack with us, we stood at the door for more than half an hour before we were allowed to enter, and the security check at the gate was comparable to that of the Fifth Research Institute.
The waiter who led us into the club led us into the club without giving us a chance to appreciate the luxury of the club, leading Ye Xun and me into a living room, and gesturing for us to wait there.
As soon as I picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip, it squirted on the ground with a pop. It's not because the black tea tastes bad, but I saw Li Kitten walking in through the door!
I almost went crazy: "How did you get in? You didn't go through security?"
Although Li Xiaomei was wearing a men's suit and his hair was tied into a proper ponytail, he didn't just wear a men's suit to go through the security check! Unless, he was a man.
I stiffened my neck and turned my head to look at Ye Xun, the meaning in my eyes was: This is your childhood sweetheart, two little guesses? This is a gentleman, okay? Did you two use the wrong word?
Ye Xun glared at me fiercely: "She's a woman!"
Li Xiaomei sat down indifferently, picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip: "Cats can shrink their bones." ”
I lowered my mouth and swallowed the words back in Ye Xun's murderous gaze.
I mean: cats can shrink their bones, yes. Just because it can shrink anywhere doesn't mean it's going to shrink anywhere. Besides, not only do you have to shrink, you also have to grow something to fool the bodyguards, how did Li Kitten do it?
Ye Xun knew what I wanted to say when he opened my mouth, his face was instantly covered with an iron blue, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Who did the examination for you?"
Li Kitten's eyes completed a crescent moon: "I got in, don't worry." ”
Ye Xun's face looked a lot better.
I muttered in a low voice: "Ye Xun, this thing belongs to a dog, he knows how to protect food! I had an accident last time, why didn't I see him protect food so much, it is obviously eccentric and has a bad conscience." ”
I say this, according to the Northeast dialect: called for the brothers "code card".
"Yard cards" on the mahjong table means: put a good card somewhere, deliberately send it to someone's hand, let him kill all sides. At the dinner table, especially at the dinner table where a buddy came out with his girlfriend, several brothers kept raising the person, praising him for being good, highlighting his advantages, and letting him establish a good image of him in the eyes of his girlfriend and the beauty of an adult.
I've been doing a lot of code card stuff before. This time, it's also looking for code cards for leaves.
Who knows, the thing kicked me in the ass and almost kicked me off the sofa: "When did I not want you to come, if it was you, I would be just as angry." ”
What's the matter, a good hand, let Ye Xun play a little smashed.
I almost let Ye Xun get angry. Li Xiaomei was still happily drinking black tea. It doesn't look like angry at all.
By now, I can be sure of at least one thing, that is, Li Kitten should have similar skills to Xia Qingqing, an opponent who can confuse.
I remembered that the most confusing monsters in myths and legends are foxes and cats.
I suddenly smiled ill-intentioned at Ye Xun.
When Ye Xun was about to stare again, the waiter outside had already knocked on the door and walked in, gesturing for us to go with him.
I immediately put away my smile and followed the waiter into the hall, where there were already many people gathered, and we became the center of attention as soon as we walked. My eyes fell on a middle-aged white man next to Old Jack, who did look a little like a napping old wolf.
The latter, when he saw me, stretched out a hand and said, "Gentlemen, let's see the magicians from the East?"
The waiter standing next to me immediately translated the other person's words in fluent Chinese.
The waiter spoke Chinese, and he kept gesturing with us, not even speaking English once. I looked into the other person's gaze and immediately showed a little anger.
The other person didn't seem to pay attention to my emotions, still staring straight ahead, waiting for someone to speak.
I said in a deep voice, "Sir, I would like to correct one thing first, I am not a magician, but a warlock. Oriental Warlock. ”
"No, no, no......," said a fat man beside the old wolf, shaking a finger and arrogantly, "my grandfather has been to the East, and he has seen the so-called warlocks, but they are nothing more than a bunch of greedy and humble liars. To say that they are magicians is to elevate their status. ”
Old Jack said displeasedly, "Excuse me, sir, how did your grandfather conclude that the warlocks of the East were liars?" ”
"With a musket!" said the fat man haughtily, "if, to be more specific, the Orientals used to call my grandfather a foreigner. ”
"Haha......" The fat man made a nondescript gesture, which immediately attracted a burst of laughter.
The old wolf waved his hand to me and said, "Sir, I thank you for bringing us a pleasant tea time, but the gentlemen here are obviously not very welcoming to you, so you should take care of it!"
I sneered and raised my hand to the fat man and said, "Within three minutes, you will be blinded in one eye by the glass shards of the wine glass." Of course, this is only the beginning of divine punishment. ”
The fat man deliberately feigned horror: "Oh-oh my God! Is this the curse of the Orientals? Is it the magic of the Orientals?"
I didn't bother to watch the other perform, and turned to leave the hall in a burst of laughter.
I calculated that at a normal pace, it would take us about a minute and a half to get from the hall to the door.
While I was pondering how to delay for a while, the waiter who led the way suddenly said, "Gentlemen, please stay." You will also need to be screened before you leave. ”
My face suddenly darkened: "What do you mean, are you afraid that I will steal?"
The waiter looked at me with a smirk: "As I said, that's what we're worried about. ”
