Chapter Twenty-Five: If You Don't Accept, I'll Take It Myself!
Link is like trying to make an example.
Someone is shooting at him now, and if he is raised high and gently lowered, there is a possibility that someone will shoot at him tomorrow.
But the United States is a country that flaunts the rule of law, and it must not be caught until it has become an existence that can make American law concern. So he needs someone to help him
Go do something like that. The casinos in Las Vegas are perfect for doing just that. Of course, he first had to find evidence that the killer was related to a casino.
They are protected in Las Vegas by the government for violating the law, making one or two irrelevant people disappear, and the government of Nevada can resist.
However, if the killer has nothing to do with them, then he has to find another way. But as long as he knows who is behind the scenes, he doesn't intend to make the other party feel better.
He didn't know if the killer had given up the task of killing him after he was caught. If not, he could be attacked again at any time. So the killer's line, he had to find it.
"Can I find someone through my residency registration?"
"It's going to be a lot of work. "Douglas didn't say no, but the scope of the investigation was very wide. "Maybe we can check the civil aviation records. ”
Link's eyes lit up and he said, "Can you do it?"
"It should be fine. But if the man drove away. That's just useless work. ”
"Check the surveillance. Link said coldly. "All the monitoring of the outside of Las Vegas on the freeway. ”
"Okay. I'll have people check the airlines' records, as well as the footage of the public surveillance system. However, it would require a certain amount of work funding. ”
"Money is not an issue. You tell me how much you need. "It's about his life, how can money be a problem?
If the killer's upline wants to leave, he should do so by driving himself or by plane. If it's the latter, you can find out where it went by cracking the airline's system. If it's the former, it might be a bit more troublesome.
"The city can't relax either. ”
"We'll keep an eye on it. ”
Link nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Douglas finished speaking and left.
After Link's drip, he pressed the pinhole with a cotton swab and asked Benjamin, who was packing up the potion bottle, "Is there anything wrong with those casinos?"
"Nope. Benjamin shook his head.
Link nodded and said, "Keep watching." ”
Although he suspected that the killer was instigated by the Venetian Casino, he did not fully trust the other big casinos. After all, he did make those casinos lose face in the previous month, and he also had a motive to kill him.
Killing him can serve as a warning to others who want to make a fortune from the casino: beware of having money to spend.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this matter had to be cut through quickly, he wouldn't have found the Venetians directly. But now the other party has put the muzzle of the gun to his head. He can't afford to think about it calmly.
This time he escaped, but he was also wounded, and not lightly. Next time, he may be able to rely on his luck to escape, but he will inevitably get hurt, and maybe even affect others. If he hurts his family because of his relationship, he will never be able to forgive himself.
This time it was a pistol, and he saw it. Next time, it could be a long-range sniper. His good fortune may not be able to block a bullet every time.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Benjamin helped him change his medication. He was wounded, put on a casual suit, and said to the bodyguard in the room, "Warren, you take someone to stay in the room." ”
This is to avoid someone installing a bugging device in the room or something.
He said to Benjamin, "You and the others follow me." "The time has come for his ultimatum. He doesn't want to go toe-to-toe with these casinos, but, the words have already been said, and if he doesn't do it, he will only be disgraced.
He buttoned up his suit and looked at himself, but there was no sign of bandage. He took a big stride and walked out.
Five bodyguards, one in front and two in the back, one on the left and one on the left, protected him in the middle. The group of people is like the big brother of the underworld who wants to talk about numbers, so that the people on the road avoid it one after another.
They came to the door inside the hotel that led to the casino.
Two tall men in suits saw them approaching, as if they were facing a great enemy, one of them made a gesture to the door, and three men in black suits immediately walked out of the casino and blocked the door with them. Five tall men blocked the doorway.
The one in the middle said with a straight face, "Mr. Hans." It is not welcome to the casino, so please leave immediately. ”
Link smiled and said, "Reason!"
"This is our internal rules in the casino! ”
Link continued to walk forward.
Benjamin took a step forward and reached out to push the men, and the other three walked up.
The man who was pushed by Benjamin was not a vegetarian either, and he grabbed Benjamin's hand and was about to shake him off.
Link's uninjured right hand struck quickly, and a finger was stealthily poking his left rib. The man felt that half of his body was weak, and he was pushed away by Benjamin.
Link's two bodyguards were already blocking the gap, and Link took the opportunity to walk in. The five bodyguards also saw the opportunity to block the five men. The doorman could only watch Link walk in.
Benjamin and the others were behind Link, and Link had already entered the door, and the doorman did not dare to entangle forward.
They can put someone in the unwelcome category, they can block those people from entering the casino, and even if those people have already entered the casino, they can also "invite" people out. But Link doesn't belong to that kind of person. Among the gamblers, he was too famous, and he had enough money that the casino could not get even evidence that he had committed a foul, and there were several bodyguards. And the casino was worried that he would do even crazier things. For example, hiring dozens of bodyguards — Link has that ability — makes it impossible for the casino to stop him on its own. That would only make the casino more humiliating.
Things got bigger, and Link had enough money to fight the casino and buy off the media. The casino's reputation among gamblers is likely to become infamous as a result. I'm afraid no one wants to come to a company that doesn't accept winners.
When Link walked in, one of the two men who had been guarding the door, one of them winked at the next three, told them to follow in, and took out the walkie-talkie, saying, "He's in." We couldn't stop him. ”
The other end of the intercom answered, "Got it." "The tone is a bit gloomy.
Link walked unhurriedly, followed by five bodyguards, and this posture had already attracted the attention of gamblers in the casino.
"Who's that?" asked someone who hadn't seen Link before. "The Chinese with a big pie!"
"He's Link Hans. Las Vegas God of Gamblers. He is said to have won more than a billion dollars from casinos in just one month. ”
"WOO~ It's strange he's still alive! I mean, he's gambling again?
"Maybe we can follow him, I heard that he is very good at betting on the wheel of fortune. Hopefully he'll still bet on the big wheel tonight. ”
"If he goes to the VIP room, we don't seem to have enough chips. ”
Link couldn't hear the men in the casino's heavy metal music, and he was quickly stopped.
"Mr. Hans, I'm Chelsea Adelson. CEO of The Venetian Hotel. ”
There was only one person who stopped Link, and it was a woman. The woman was in her forties and had a serious face. If Link continues to break through, it will look like he is too tasteless. He could only stop.
Chelsea Adelson took office as president of the hotel only ten days ago, and the casino fell under her purview. It's just that she didn't expect to take office, and she met Link, a difficult person, who came to the door to find trouble.
Yesterday I heard the head of the casino side talk about Link's threat. She advocated an all-out investigation, but the group's top management was unwilling to admit defeat easily. So she made some preparations for Link's arrival.
"Hello!" Link said politely shaking her hand. "May I ask Ms. Adelson about me?"
They have already attracted onlookers from other gamblers. Chelsea Adelson smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Hans is coming, and our casino has arranged a game for you. ”
The corners of Link's mouth pulled at an arc and said, "A specially arranged gamble?" "But I want to play in the VIP lounge more today. ”
"Yes, Link, we all want you to play in the gambling room. "It turned out that some people had already gathered around at this time. Hearing him say that, someone shouted. "It's best to play in a regular casino. ”
Link smiled and nodded at the man who spoke, then turned back to Chelsea Adelson and said, "Look, Ms. Adelson!"
Chelsea Adelson smiled as if he hadn't heard the heckling, but his voice was a little louder: "We've invited Philippe Avery, Michael Mitzlahi and Daniel Negrenu to form an unlimited game especially for Mr. Hans. The buy-in amount for this hand was $500 million. It's the first hand ever, and I think Mr. Hans must be interested. ”
Link was about to speak, when onlookers were in an uproar at Chelsea Adelson's words.
The people she just mentioned were all among the top 10 highest-paid professionals in the world of Texas Hold'em last year. The Venetian Casino actually arranged for three Texas Hold'em masters to form a game against Link, and the buy-in amount was as high as 500 million. She said that it was the biggest gamble in history, and she was not exaggerating. This made some people in the know stare at Link to see if he would say yes or no.
Link pursed his lips, a few thoughts flashed through his heart, and finally nodded and said, "Lead the way!"
As soon as he said this, the onlookers suddenly applauded. Regardless of whether Link ends up losing or winning, Link's courage is something they respect. The casino has brought in three world champion-level poker masters, and they must have teamed up to deal with him alone. In the face of such an opponent, even the god of gambling may not dare to play.
Link may have a very different identity from these gamblers, but he has the same identity as these people: the opposite of the casino. Most of these people lose money to the casino. In their eyes, Link is challenging the casino on behalf of them, the gamblers.
Philip Avery, a poker prodigy a few years ago, got three bracelets at the age of twenty-three.
Jamie Golde was the World Champion in '06, when he won the highest prize in history at the time, $12 million. Although it has declined a bit now, it has always been a very famous Texas Hold'em poker professional player.
Daniel Negrenu was once an idol of young poker and he has always excelled, but his increasingly calm style has always made him one of the winners, and he was one of the top five in professional earning last year.
These three people are mythical in the eyes of gamblers. Although Link is known as the God of Gambling by gamblers, he is not a professional Texas Hold'em player, has never won any title other than winning, and has never heard of him a month ago.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he is still an ordinary person.
In the eyes of these gamblers: this is a contest between ordinary people and gods.
