When he heard that the gamble was scheduled for 8 p.m. the day after the agreement was signed, Link understood why Tommy Cockline would agree to his terms so easily.

Perhaps Tommy Cockline thinks he's the one with the most certainty of winning, so he goes out of his way to get him to agree to the game before it even starts.

But it also made him have some doubts about whether the Cocklain family would regret it after the gamble.

He immediately called Benjamin, who was still on vacation: "Benjamin, how are you doing during the holidays?"

"Yes. We had a wonderful Christmas. Benjamin said with a smile on the phone. I can tell that he is really happy to have this holiday.

Link had to interrupt his vacation, as well as someone else's: "Benjamin, I have to regret informing you. Your vacation ended early. "He was supposed to give all the bodyguards five days off.

"I hope at least eight of you will be in Las Vegas by seven o'clock tomorrow night. You, Warren and Mike must come back. ”

As soon as Benjamin heard his request, he immediately said, "Okay, boss." We will arrive in Las Vegas before the time you requested. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”

In the afternoon of the next day, he went to AIG, the largest insurance company in the United States, to buy a $3 billion dividend full insurance policy. To do this, he has to pay more than $40 million in annual premiums.

He felt that with such an insurance, he should be safer.

AIG is one of the world's top 10 insurance groups, involved in insurance, finance and other industries. As a major enterprise of the consortium, there is no doubt about its strength.

With the agreement in hand, Tommy Cockein should not go back on this gamble, and at most force him to return his shares to them by other means. But as long as it doesn't endanger his life, he doesn't need to manage his money. But if he dies, he will have to pay three billion dollars in compensation, and if anyone wants to kill him, I'm afraid that AIG will be the most worried. To kill him is to offend the consortium behind this company. Tommy Cockline has to be careful if he wants to deal with him.

In the afternoon, Benjamin, Warren and other twelve bodyguards who had terminated their leave early arrived in Las Vegas one after another. At six o'clock, Tommy Cockline invited him to dinner.

But he refused. They have met four times in the past two days, and everything that needs to be said has already been said. Still, he went to the MGM Grand Hotel for dinner. He was joined by his bodyguards.

A group of thirteen people, walking on the road is a bit of a mighty meaning. The MGM Hotel arranged a luxury private room for him. He felt that there would be no danger for the time being, so he dined alone and asked the bodyguards to eat by himself first.

Halfway through his meal, Tommy Cockline arrived.

He swallowed a piece of fried salmon in his mouth and said with a smile, "Tommy, you're nervous!"

Tommy Coklein saw that there were enough dishes on the table to last five or six people, and many of them had already been eaten. Look at the amount of food that can feed at least two people.

He frowned and said, "I've heard that eating too much can make your brain sluggish. He said as he pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked the waiter to serve him a set of cutlery.

Link forked another large piece of lobster meat onto the plate in front of him and said, "This lobster tastes good." You taste it too. ”

Tommy Cockein held his knife and fork in both hands, forked some of the dishes in the middle to his own plate, and said, "I'm glad you can be confident." ”

Link put down his knife and fork, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and said, "Eating too much can indeed make the brain lack of blood supply and dull brain activity." But if you gamble for eight hours tonight, maybe your stomach will be exhausted at one o'clock in the morning. ”

"We always have high-calorie food for you. Tommy Cockline glanced at him. "So you don't have to worry about going hungry and playing against your opponents. ”

Link smiled and said, "Well, the truth is that I don't think the free dinner will be eaten for nothing. ”

"Waste is a shameful habit. ”

"I thought the waste was about pouring milk into the river. He finished and continued to eat. "Don't worry, I'll try to eat as much as I can. I'll stop before seven o'clock anyway. One hour was enough for my brain activity to return to normal. ”

Link kept his word, and at seven o'clock he finally crossed his knife and fork into the plate, which meant that he would not eat any more.

Then he snapped his fingers at the waiter.

The waiter immediately came over: "What does Mr. Hans command?"

"A bottle of dry red. To be the most expensive. ”

Although his well-fed and red-wine drinks exposed Link's nouveau riche temperament, Tommy Cockline has decided to refuse to say anything about his behavior.

After he had drunk half a bottle of red wine, he said, "I hope you're not drunk." ”

Link laughs, "That just makes my brain more excited." I'm going to take my opponent down in three hours. He blinked. "My house is curfew, and I have to be home by 12 o'clock. ”

"Hopefully your house's access control will give you better luck. "Tommy Cockline was about to ask the waiter to settle the bill, and he was going to sign the bill.

Link took out a credit card and said, "Let's swipe my card." I'm on an Amex card, and I've been coveting their Centurion card for a long time. But I spent more than 800 million, and they still ignored me. ”

Tommy seemed to be infected by his self-confidence at this time, and his expression relaxed a lot, and said, "You must have met the basic conditions for their black card invitation." But as far as I know, the vast majority of people who hold Centurion cards today are between the ages of 35 and 60 and who are CEOs or chairmen of major companies. They usually own multiple luxury residences, like to collect famous cars, like yachts, like airplanes, and like to enjoy. I think you may not be able to meet their conditions in this regard. Maybe you can live more like a rich man. ”

Link laughed and said, "It's a great idea." After buying a plane, you can kiss white-collar workers in New York during the day, and fly to Los Angeles at night to roll the sheets with female stars. ”

He also knows that the Centurion Card doesn't invite you just because you have enough money. This kind of card from Amex will only send invitations to the best 1% of customers. Maybe it's because there are so many customers like that, they can't keep busy. It is said that those customers sometimes make strange requests.

"That's how men should live, aren't they?" said Tommy Coklein, sipping his wine.

Link shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it, it is said that the last heir to the Kennedy family who may regain his family strength was killed in a plane crash." So I'd better swipe my card more, maybe they'll consider inviting me for the sake of this one. ”

"Maybe after tonight, they'll invite you. Those who own 4% of MGM Resorts are attractive enough to them. ”

Link laughed and said: "If I get that card, I will ask to go to the ** Liujing Hotel to invite Trump and Jin Sanpang to have dinner together to discuss nuclear safety issues." Maybe I can also try to form an alliance between the two countries. ”

"Maybe you'll get the Nobel Lifetime Achievement Prize for Peace for that. Tommy Cockline laughed.

He paused and said, "We have arranged a rest room for you." Maybe you can take a break there. ”

Link put away his smile and said, "Then let's go!"

The rest room arranged by the hotel for him is next to the gambling hall where the game will be played, which has a complete set of furniture, and stores high-end cigars and red wine for guests to take at will, which can be used to hold a salon with more than 30 people.

In fact, he didn't stay in it for long, he had only been sitting in it for less than twenty minutes, and Tommy Cockein pushed the door in and said, "Link, are you ready? ”

He smiled and said, "Of course." I think I should go and say hi to my opponent too. ”

The two walked out of the rest room and didn't take two steps before they arrived at the gambling hall that arranged the gambling game. At the door, before the waiter opened the door, Tommy Cockline whispered to him, "Good luck, Link!"

Link smiled back and said, "Good luck to us!"

Two waiters pushed the heavy log door open, one left and one right, and a whisper was in front of them. Link was at the door, and the first thing he saw was a large table in the middle of a red carpet. At the end of the door, facing the table, sat a man.

He was holding a glass of red wine to his lips, as if he was drinking.

The door opened, and it seemed as if it was a movie with the soundtrack cut off suddenly, and everyone turned to look at the door.

Tommy Cockline entered the gambling hall first, and Link followed the red-carpeted stairs to the surface. The gambling hall is so large that you can even host a drinking party here. In the middle is a table covered with green flannel. Three meters away from the table, there is a movable red silk railing that separates the dozen or so seats on each side from the table in the middle.

When they walked in, there was no sound in the gambling hall. The man sitting at the edge of the table put down his glass, stood up, and turned.

It was the man in the picture that Tommy Cockline showed Link. The real person looks younger than the photo, perhaps because the photo was taken secretly and there is no special makeup.

At this moment, a middle-aged white man with a gray beard and a short hair with a long head walked from outside the guardrail to the middle of the gambling hall.

Tommy Coklein nodded to Link, then thought of the forwarding man walking over and holding out his hand and saying, "Hello, Mr. Huls." Keeping you waiting. ”

"There is good wine, not afraid to wait. Hulse said with a smile. "This is your MGM player?"

Tommy Cockline glanced at Link, nodded and said, "Yes." This is our player, Link Hans. He hadn't even planned to introduce him to Link.

Link knew that he would have to be on his side, and when he heard this, he just nodded reservedly, his mouth pursed, and not a word came out.

And the dark-haired man who had just sat at the table had already walked over. Hulse also only introduced his name: "This is Nix Papadopols. ”

Tommy Coklein smiled and nodded to the opposing player, "I know him, the gambling king from Greece." I'm looking forward to him and our Las Vegas God of Gamblers giving us an unforgettable gamble." ”

"The God of Gamblers in Las Vegas?" Hulse said, smiling. "Quite an impressive title indeed. ”

Link didn't listen to the teasing meaning in his smile. Just looking at the six-character surname of the Nix who was going to bet on him, he could feel the provocation in the other party's eyes.

Regardless of whether the other party is arrogant or using psychological tactics, he doesn't want to analyze it. He's not really a gambler, so there's no need to think about those things. All he has to do is look at the cards, try his luck, open the cards, and win.
