Chapter 358: Gambling
As it got dark, Barrett sat in the bar, drinking and watching the casino below.
They didn't rush to the end, they looked at the situation first, and by the way, they saw what it was good to bet on.
The middle table is betting on Blackjack, which seems to be a more popular item, and there are four gamblers on the table.
The table on the right is to bet on the size, eleven cards, the rules are very simple, one person is dealt one, whoever is bigger wins, but there is an exception, the smallest A can eat the largest J.
After a few looks, Barrett basically understood the rules of gambling, but he was a little curious as to why the table on the left had never been opened.
"That table is used for heads-up, only betting on the front and back, and it is generally used by the guy who has lost his life to gamble." Nightblade and Jason are veterans of the casino, and they casually solve the doubts in his heart.
"Which of the two is that?" Barrett looked left and right, and thought it would work.
"If you're sure, I think I'm betting on Blackjack." Jason said, in fact, he was afraid that the money would lose too quickly, and the reason why there were not many people betting on the size was because the decision was too fast, and a card took less than ten seconds.
I was about to stand up, but I saw the bar door being pushed open.
It was none other than Mark who came in.
Naturally, he saw Barrett too, and said hello from afar, but he didn't come to the bar, and walked straight to the table.
"Again, how's it going? Playing two? The dealer laughed and said Mark was a regular at the casino.
Oni especially likes to work with him, as he sends money back to the casino every time.
Mark didn't say a word, and threw the two gold coins in his hand on the table.
He was the only one, and the dealer didn't wait for anyone else and started dealing cards directly.
Flip the cards directly, because Mark only has two gold coins, and the process of what hidden cards are added to the price has been skipped, and the dealer seems to be always greeting him, without much nonsense.
Mark's card is not too big, a 6 of spades.
The dealer's card is just a little smaller than him, a square 5.
Mark's two gold coins became four.
The four gold coins were thrown out as they were, and Mark still didn't say anything, but the meaning was clear, come again.
It's still one card per person, and when he gets the card, Mark turns it over.
This card is very good, 10 of hearts, second only to the big card with jack!
There was no suspense in the result, and the dealer's club-8 was of no use.
The gold in Mark's hand became eight.
It stands to reason that this is the time to stop.
Eight coins is not a decimal, and the probability of winning three in a row is very small.
It's a pity that he still made a move and pushed the gold coin out again.
The dealer frowned a little, and he reminded: "You have nothing left if you lose this time." ”
Mark taps his index finger on the table and motions for the dealer to deal the cards.
The cards were dealt again, and Mark's card was pitiful, with only a 4, but the dealer's card was even worse, and it turned out to be the smallest ace!
Sixteen gold coins! Truth be told, many people have never seen so much money.
Swap it for silver coins, which would have to have a whole bag.
The dealer's face was already sweating, and he hesitated, but found that Mark still casually pushed out all the gold coins.
Sixteen gold coins, if you lose again............
"Brother, take it when you see it." The spectators next to him all persuaded.
It's just that Mark didn't speak, just sat there with his head bored and waited for the cards to be dealt.
Since the gambling game is going to continue, then it can only be dealt hard.
As soon as the cards opened, everyone exclaimed!
When the time comes, nothing can stop it, and Mark gets another 10!
"Oh my God! Thirty-two gold coins!! "Some people can't sit still anymore, and it's just exciting.
The dealer's face was ugly, and his hand was pressed on the card, but he refused to turn it over.
The people around him began to heckle: "Open! What are you waiting for? ”
After a while, the dealer turned over the cards.
A 6!
As if possessed by Lady Luck, Mark won four in a row.
Thirty-two gold coins!
There were gasps all around, and even a few of them began to be cheeky enough to beg for a prize.
However, Mark still made a move and pushed all the gold coins in his hand out.
At this time, all the customers in the bar stopped their movements and paid attention to the victory and defeat at the table.
Soon, the table was full of people, and Jason got inside, taking a good seat to watch the decisive gamble.
The cards are dealt.
Still without hesitation, Mark turned over the cards, and this time everyone was even more dumbfounded, it was J!
Almost a must-win hand!
"Fuck, sixty-four gold coins!!"
"If Lao Tzu had so much money, he wouldn't have to do anything!"
"Stupid, it's almost the same thing that you lose so much, do you have this luck?"
"Seriously, I've never seen such good luck."
The onlookers talked, their eyes turned to the dealer's cards, waiting for him to be opened.
Just then, Oni came down from the second floor.
"Hahahaha! Such good luck? I'll see which good friend it is? Oni laughed as he went downstairs.
For a while, most people turned their attention to Oni, after all, he was the boss here, and he still had to give some face.
Only two people remained indifferent, Barrett and Mark.
Barrett naturally didn't want to be a fat man.
Mark didn't look back.
Oni's expression moved, his hand slapped Mark's shoulder, and said loudly, "Good boy, good luck!" ”
Sure enough, for this sake, Mark had to look back at Oni.
At this moment, Barrett's expression became subtle.
Ace noticed the change in Barrett's expression, and she asked softly, "What do you see?" ”
Barrett smiled slightly, but did not speak.
After two pats on Mark's shoulder, Oni smiled, "Let's see the final result!" If you win, I'll double the bill, and if you lose, it's okay! The principal is for you to take away! ”
Double your bill? There was an uproar around, it was a full one hundred and twenty-eight gold coins!
What is the concept of 128 gold coins? It can buy a hundred slaves, buy three hundred guns, hire the best hunters, and buy the deadliest assassins.
Now that the boss has spoken, the dealer can only carefully turn over the cards, and as the cards are turned over little by little, the people around them are holding their breath.
The board is ............ A!!
A sound of chagrin sounded, and the gamblers began to sigh......
"Fucking exactly A! I still want to see what a hundred gold coins look like......"
"This kid's luck has come to an end, it's pitiful."
It's just that Mark's face didn't show any unhappiness, and even if he opened such an unbelievable card, he only had his eyelids twitching.
Spreading his hands, Mark stood up and walked out the door.
He had barely taken two steps when he was stopped.
"Boy, this is your capital, take it." With a ding, two gold coins were bounced towards Mark by Oni.
Mark didn't answer, he sneered, turned and left the bar.
The surrounding drinkers immediately began to scramble, two gold coins? At least one night of drinking is no problem.
It took a while for the casino to calm down.
Jason walked back to Barrett and sat down, and he asked, "How's it going?" Thinking about which one to bet on? As you can see, the bet size is just too fast and easy to get started. ”
"He just doesn't want the money." Barrett shook his head, he knew what Mark thought, this was the money of the living, and he earned it unscrupulously.
Quite a kid with personality, but I'm afraid I'll offend Oni this time.
Turning his head to look at Jason, he noticed that the two gold coins in his hand were shining.
"You picked it up?" Barrett was a little ridiculous, this thing is really greedy for money.
"Nonsense, whoever gets the ownerless thing is the one who gets it." Jason wasn't embarrassed, he just had to spend the money.
Patting his pants and standing up, Barrett walked to the casino.
"Yes, it's a good way to play, I like it." Sitting down at the big and small tables, Barrett said with a smile.
"That young man just now was really lucky, and I was itching to see it." Looking at the dealer with a smile, Barrett threw the ten gold coins in his hand into the gambling pool............
An hour later.
Nightblade was pale as he packed his things, and Jason was giving him a look.
"Damn, I never thought I'd be kicked out of the casino."
"Hurry up, I see the fat pig's face, it's as black as the soles of his shoes." Jason muttered, "I don't know if Barrett found that kid, can't we run away on our own?" ”
"Your brain is all cotton? Without that kid's car, we can outrun those guys? Reaching out to pick up his luggage, Nightblade looked at the tent speechless.
"Alright, don't be reluctant, just buy it in the next town!" At this time, Jason was not a little angry, and he ran fast with his luggage.
No sooner had he run over the earthen wall outside the town than he saw Barrett leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette waiting for the two of them.
Ace squatted on the top of the slope not far away, checking the movement on the other side of the casino.
"How much did you win?" Nightblade asked.
“? You didn't look at it when I played? Barrett thought it was funny, they weren't unconscious.
"I didn't even dare to look at it in the end, and the last bet I saw was a thousand." Jason said.
"I won four thousand, but unfortunately the fat man didn't pay the last bill, I grabbed more than a thousand points, and I don't know who took the rest of the mess." Barrett laughed.
He also knew that the casino had a ceiling, but he still admired Oni's ability to calm down, and he couldn't afford to play until two thousand gold coins.
He remembered the story Nightblade had told him, and Whitebeard seemed to be about to win four hundred gold.
"Let's talk as we go, anyway, if you don't leave the city, Oni won't dare to touch us." Barrett stretched and tossed the cigarette butt at his feet to extinguish it.
Don't look at it as just a 100cc engine, but it's surprisingly powerful.
Barrett and Nightblade stood on top of the frame of the car, while Jason and Ace crouched inside the bucket.
The broken car abruptly walked east.
Fearing that Oni would send men after them, they did not take the main road, but galloped across the wilderness.
"How many have you won?" Nightblade was a little confused, and at six hundred and four, he didn't dare to look at it.
"I counted, ten, twenty, forty, eighty, one hundred and sixteen, three hundred and two, six hundred and four, one thousand, two thousand, four thousand. A total of nine. Barrett said.
".................." The other four people were silent for a while, how could this be......
"Why?" Mark didn't say anything else, just asked why.
Barrett knew what he was asking, explaining: "They will make a thousand from the fourth hand, so the small ones can't win much, and when you win a lot, you are doomed to lose." ”
"Then how did you win? And won so much in a row? Jason looked confused, but soon became happy: "Damn, I have a share of this money, right?" Lao Tzu wants to find five women to be so cool! ”
"You're going to run to the next town!" Nightblade saw the fire across the dunes, and his heart tightened.
Sure enough, it still came.
Barrett reached out and pulled his dick out from behind and laughed, "Okay, let's say goodbye to our best friends and ............"
"Spend all your time!" Except for Ace, the remaining four people shouted loudly......
The morning sun was harsh.
Nightblade leaned against the rock, and Ace was bandaging his wounds.
He was shot in the waist.
Jason crouched to the side and watched Barrett and Mark fix the car.
Last night's battle broke the broken car and blew one of the wheels.
"You even have a guy who repairs cars, it looks like you're spending a lot of money, right?" Barrett asked.
"On the other hand, because I have a guy who repairs cars, I only have a car." Mark replied as he experimented with air leaks in the bucket.
After confirming that there were no air leaks, he began to install the tires.
"I'm a mechanic, and I originally worked in a glass factory in Venice."
"It's a pity that you know that now there is a shortage of everything, there is no shortage of useless things like glass, and the factory has collapsed."
"I didn't have the money to pay my salary, so I took my tools and used them as wages for two years of work."
"And then you know, I went all the way south, and then east, and all the way."
"Here we are."
Finally, the broken car was repaired.
"And where did this car come from?" Jason asked.
".................." Mark didn't want to say, he took off his hat and walked towards the shade.
"After all, it wasn't just by cheating." Taking the cigarette from Barrett, Mark sat down.
Jason's eyes were rolling, and he clearly didn't give up.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly jumped up and ran to the middle of the luggage.
Nightblade's face was depressed, and he scolded: "You stupid, Lao Tzu doesn't have the strength to clean up the mess for you!" ”
Jason ignored him as well, and he found what he was looking for.
Handing a piece of silver iron to Mark, he said, "Come, tell me how the car came about, this is yours." ”
Seeing what Jason was holding, Mark's eyes straightened.
"Ratchet wrench?? Where did you get it?? "Such a delicate tool is not the shoddy imitation of today, this is a really good thing that can save time.
"Don't ask, I'll tell you later." Looking at his expression, Jason knew he was in the trap.
"............" hesitated for a moment, and Mark surrendered.
"I bought this car in exchange. With someone else's life. Mark looked at the sky and said, "I'm a mechanic, so naturally I'm looking for a job in this area." ”
"My job is to follow the convoy from Istanbul to Ankara."
"The convoy is transporting ............ Slave ............" When the word slave was spoken, Mark resisted, and he struggled for a moment before saying it.
"The plot later was quite old-fashioned, there was a slave who asked me to let her go, and then ............"
"I denounced her."
"............" Barrett was silent for a while, and no one would accuse him because it was his job.
If he doesn't do it, he may lose not only his wages, but possibly even his life.
"They rewarded me with this engine, hehe, in exchange for someone else's life." Mark looked at his broken car and sneered.
"It's normal, we've all done this before." Jason didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and he said with a big grin.
"Have you done it all?" Ace asked a little uncomfortably.
"Oh, in this world, we have also worked as human trafficker guards, and even captured escaped slaves for the big boss, for money." As he spoke, Jason pointed his chin at Nightblade.
"Begging for a living, we were still rookies at that time, and we didn't even know where to eat every day without fame." Nightblade was a little embarrassed, and to be honest, it wasn't a glorious thing.
"I don't think so." Barrett made a decision on the matter.
"I think there were a few slaves around me back then, but I don't know what happened to them now." As she said this, Barrett was thinking about the golden master, what was she doing now?
At the same time, Leffy, who was far away in Crune, sneezed twice, her body would not catch a cold easily, someone must have been talking about her.
"This dead guy is really not dead, I will strangle you when you come back!" Throwing a tantrum at the sky, Nini next to her covered her forehead with her hand a little worried.
"I don't have a fever." I tried it again on my snow-white forehead, and there was indeed no fever.
"You're saying you're in touch with him?" Nini was so smart that she immediately asked, her little face full of joy.
"That's not it, but this guy is definitely not dead, and you're going to help me pinch him when the time comes." Lyphy's face was full of hatred, so she waited for this guy to come back, and then cleaned him up fiercely.
It's a pity that the villain can't hear what she says for a long time, and is directly immersed in the fantasy of reunion.
The scene shifts back to the vast wasteland.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all wondered, "Aren't you a soldier?" Where did the slaves come from? ”
"Well, at that time, the captives we captured in the war were your slaves." Half-truths and half-truths fooled Barrett.
