Seeing Kapua, Liu Wei first noticed the pair of bright eyes, as if they could see through others at a glance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This old man with white hair and white beard, well-dressed and well-mannered, who has a few look-alikes with British actor Sean Connery, must be a ruthless character.

He is not British, but Italian.

You can tell it from the name. Capua was a city during the Roman Empire, located about twenty-five kilometers north of Naples. The city's history is linked to the slave revolt that changed the fate of the Roman Empire in 72 BC, and it was here that Spartacus led the revolting slaves into the mountains. Many Italians come to the United States and switch to their home names.

Kapua didn't notice Liu Wei, but regarded Mobei Wolf as a big man.

Because he had already figured out the surname of Mobei Wolf, after being polite, the old guy explained his intention: invite Mobei Wolf to participate in the upcoming "North American Gambling King Competition".

When it comes to gambling, Liu Wei really doesn't have much interest.

If he hadn't had to stay in Las Vegas for a few days and wait until Li Zhenye left before he could start his operation, Liu Wei would have left this bizarre city a long time ago.

It's just that in addition to gambling, some other things aroused Liu Wei's interest.

"I can provide a place for the entry, as well as the funding for the participation. If you lose, it's mine, and if you win, it's yours. If I can reach the finals and win the title of 'North American Gambling King', I will pay an additional fee. ”

"Mr. Capua, we're just here to have fun, and we don't want to participate in any 'gambling king tournament'."

This guy is still putting on a show.

"Of course, the 'Tournament' starts in a week, and you have time to play." Kapua knew that Mobei Wolf had deliberately said this in order to raise the asking price. "I've got a room on one floor for you here, and some of the expenses during this time are free, and I'll pay for the rest as long as you don't leave Nevada. You can think about it, even if you refuse my request after a week, it's okay. ”

This condition is indeed very tempting, because the hotel where Li Zhenye lives is indeed too low-grade.

"Mr. Capua, can you elaborate?" Liu Wei spoke.

Capua glanced at him, as if not believing that the young man was qualified to speak.

"He is my senior brother, and it is up to him to decide whether to participate in the 'Championship'." Mobei Wolf smiled and gave Liu Wei a lot of face.

"Your Excellency is ......" Kapua's face immediately changed, but he was still a little surprised.

"The contemptible surname is Liu."

"Mr. Liu is also a casino master?"

Liu Wei smiled and didn't say anything.

Let's say it's a master, he doesn't even know a lot of the rules of gambling. Say it's not a master, it's definitely no worse than the Mobei wolf.

"This is ......," Capua looked at Zhou Yulong again. Since Liu Wei is very powerful, he doesn't dare to underestimate the other person.

"He is my junior brother, surnamed Zhou." Mobei Wolf made an introduction for Zhou Yulong.

Zhou Yulong rolled his eyes, when did he become the junior brother of Mobei Wolf? According to Liu Wei's original arrangement, he is the senior brother of Mobei Wolf.

"In that case, all three of you are eligible to participate in the 'Tournament'."

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Kapua, we really don't have much interest in this. It's just that we're going to be in the U.S. for a while, and we're looking for something to do. Mr. Capua could also elaborate so that we can decide whether or not to accept the invitation. ”

Capua nodded, took out a very delicate sandalwood cigarette case, and took out a Havana cohiba cigar.

Mobei Wolf was not polite, and reached out to ask for one. Liu Wei and Zhou Yulong don't have that much of a craving, and neither of them likes the pungent taste of cigars.

The North American Championship is part of the World Championship of Gamblers.

The "World Gambling Championship Series" is the world's largest gambling tournament, with a history of more than 100 years, and was held once a year before the 90s of the last century. With the increase in the number of participants, it will be held every two years, divided into 12 regions, including North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, North Africa, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Australia, and each region will send two people to participate in the finals.

The "North American Gambling Championship Competition" is the regional preliminary round, and the two winners will participate in the "World Gambling Championship Championship" to be held in Monte Carlo, Monaco in March next year.

"The 'Tournament' will be held in Atlantic City, and it will still be a bet on Texas Hold'em."

"Atlantic City?"

"New Jersey on the East Coast, the second largest casino in the United States."

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully. He knew where New Jersey was and where Atlantic City came from, but he didn't know how the two casinos were related.

Capua was in a hurry to find someone to participate in the "Tournament", and there must be a reason for that.

After thinking about it, Liu Wei didn't ask, after all, he didn't want to make trouble.

It's just that not everyone has this idea.

"Mr. Capua, not everyone should be able to participate in the 'Tournament', right?" Mobei Wolf asked, and seemed very interested.

"That's for sure, if all gamblers are eligible to participate, two years of the 'Championship' is not too short." Capuya smiled and said, "Except for the eight people who made it to the finals last time and finished in the rankings, everyone else has to have $20 million in cash to get enough points in the 'Gambling Tour' in North America." In addition, you can only get a wild card to participate in the competition and be nominated as a member of the 'North American Gaming Industry Association'. ”

"Are you a member of the industry?"

Capuya nodded and said, "It's not me, it's the 'Pyramid Palace', but we only have two places. ”

Mobei Wolf frowned and said, "In this way, only two of the three of us can participate in the competition at most. ”

"This ......," Capua hesitated for a moment, "and there is only one spot left, and the other ......"

"Mr. Capua, you should know that this senior brother of mine must be better than me." Mobei Wolf glanced at Liu Wei, "If there is only one place, you have to let him nod and agree." ”

Capuya looked at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei rolled his eyes, he really didn't have much interest.

"Well, arrange one for us. Don't gamble money, bet on that spot. If we lose, ask Mr. Capua to find another talent. If we win......"

"Of course, as long as you can win, both places will be given to you." Capua immediately understood what Mobei Wolf meant.

Mobei Wolf smiled, he also meant this.

"If you don't object, ...... tomorrow night"

"Mr. Capua, you're not just inviting us to win this game, right?" Liu Wei spoke in time and stopped Kapuya's words. Although he didn't know what Mobei Wolf was thinking for the time being, Liu Wei felt that he shouldn't be in a hurry. "I don't want to know too much, I just think that since Mr. Capua invited us to compete, he must want to surprise his opponent. That being the case, the later you delay, the better. ”

"But the tournament will start in a week, and we have to submit the list of participants 24 hours in advance."

"How about arranging it for the evening in six days?"

Capua gritted her teeth and didn't immediately agree. Liu Wei's request is a bit excessive, because it means that if they are not real casino masters, Capua will not have time to find a replacement.

"Wouldn't it be better if Mr. Capua had found a more suitable person in the meantime?"

As soon as Liu Wei said this, Kapua nodded and said, "That's fine, when the time comes, let's learn together and decide who will participate in the 'Championship'." ”

At this point, the casino manager sent the five million dollars won by Mobei Wolves.

Obviously, there was no shortage of cash in the casino, but Capua found an excuse to let Liu Wei and them stay.

Because Kapuya arranged a room for Liu Wei and them in the "Pyramid Palace", Liu Wei asked Zhou Yulong to return to the hotel and took all the others over.

Li Zhenye's face was indeed thick enough, and he followed.

Arranged for Liu Wei is a presidential private room, in addition to a living room of more than 100 square meters, there are five bedrooms, but they still have to let Takeuchi Kotone and them squeeze into one bedroom. Anyway, it's okay if they don't sleep, and if they want to sleep, they can sleep on the floor, and they don't take up much space.

Zhou Yulong and Mobei Wolf were also assigned to a presidential suite, but neither of them went back.

After Zhou Yulong searched the entire room and confirmed that there was no problem, Liu Wei came over with a few wine glasses.

"Old wolf, what the hell do you want to do?"

"Find a big tree, so that you can enjoy the shade, what else can you do?" Mobei Wolf took the wine glass and pulled out a Cohiba cigar that he had tricked from Capua. "Do you know where this guy came from?"

Liu Wei shook his head and sat down.

Mobei Wolf touched his body for a while, but he didn't find the scissors to cut the cigar, so he simply bit off one by one. "This guy must be a big tree. Ever read The Godfather by Mario Puzo? The main character in the book, Victor Corioni, is Capua's great-grandfather. In its early days, the Capua family operated in the East Coast in the fields of gambling, transportation, olive oil trading and moonshine trafficking. After World War II, his uncle and grandfather moved westward, giving up their East Coast properties and going all-in on Las Vegas, becoming the city's first gambling tycoon. Although the Capua family has been in decline for more than 40 years under his father's care, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Capua family is still one of the most powerful families in Las Vegas. This tavern is the best proof of this. ”

"How powerful?" Zhou Yulong took out a Cohiba cigar from the sandalwood box.

"It's strong, and it's the best in the United States. It's just that the Capuya family is more conservative, believing that good relations with politicians, police, and judges are more important than making money, and they give up a lot of money-making business. In addition, in the past two decades, black gangs and Latin American gangs have expanded rapidly, and there has been the infiltration of Eastern forces represented by Chinese and Chinese people, and the influence of the Capuya family in the political and legal circles is much less than before. ”

"What does it have to do with us?"

"Whatever we plan to do in the United States, it's best to have good relations with local forces." Mobei Wolf smiled, "Instead of spending effort to find it, it's better to go with the flow." ”

Liu Wei sighed, Mobei Wolf was right, but it was too sudden.

"Find Dian Bin to investigate, and if it's okay, cooperate with him." Zhou Yulong glanced at Liu Wei and said, "If it's not proper, it's too late to regret it now." ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it, you go and contact Dian Bin." ”

At first, he didn't agree, but asked Capua to arrange the gambling match six days later, and Liu Wei just wanted to let Dian Bin investigate Capua's background.
