Chapter 190 Bloody Neo is keen on this kind of wanton behavior, and life is doubly fun because of it. There was a reader betting agent in Los Angeles, and Neo was reluctant to give him a $70,000 bet on a football game. The man held a gun to Neo's head, and Neo said, "Fuck you! So he took out $10,000 as compensation. The man took it.

Neo's wealth, his physical strength, his heights, and his shameless heart made him not unsuccessful in what he did. His belief that all people in this world could not withstand corruption added to his naivety, which brought him benefits not only in women's beds, but also in the courtroom. His great zest for life also adds to his charm. He's a liar who lets people peek at the cards he holds.

In this way, Neo naturally does not suspect that there is anything strange about Tommy #Mitnick's date with him tonight. This person is very similar to him, a guy who makes money without a conscience, and he has a way to deal with him, that is, he makes tempting promises in advance, and when he fulfills them, he will be greatly discounted.

As for Thayer, who goes by the pseudonym Sean #Valentine, Neo sniffs an unprecedented opportunity, a long-term plan to cheat. He saw with his own eyes that the guy threw at least half a million dollars in the casino in a day. This means that he can owe unlimited chips in the casino, and there must be a way to earn huge amounts of money in the underworld. It couldn't have been better for him to cheat in the Super Cup. He can offer large bets and can be trusted by the broker who registers the bet. After all, those guys are not willing to accept a huge bet from an idle person.

Neo fantasizes about his next trip to Las Vegas. I can finally live in the villa. He was thinking about who he should invite to come with. Business partner or playmate? Who will be the victim of being fooled by him? Or is it all a female companion? Finally, when it was time to leave for dinner with Tommy and Sean #Valentine, Neo called and chatted with his ex-wife and two children before heading out.

The place to eat is a small fish restaurant located near the Los Angeles pier. There was no waiter in front of the restaurant, so Neo drove the car to the parking lot.

In the restaurant, a skinny restaurant manager greets Neo, who takes one look at him and leads him to a table where Tommy #Mitnick is already sitting and waiting.

Neo is very good at playing on the spot, and he hugs Tommy with his arms outstretched. "Where's Valentine? Did he dry me like a fish fillet, I don't have time to play this kind of trick. ”

Tommy suddenly looked enthusiastic. He patted Neo on the shoulder and said, "Then what am I, minced liver?" Tommy asked, "Sit down and try the best seafood in the world." After eating, we went to meet Valentine. ”

The steward came to them and asked them to order, and Tommy said, "Bring your best dishes." My friend is very good at eating, and if he is still not full after eating, I will settle the account with Fixio. ”

The steward had a confident smile on his face. He understands the strength of his own kitchen. His restaurant is part of the Fixio #Eastwood dining empire. If the police investigate Neo's whereabouts, the clues will be cut off here.

They ate clams, mussels, river prawns, and lobsters one after the other. Neo eats three servings and Tommy eats one portion. Tommy finished eating before Neo. He said to Neo, "That guy is my friend, and I can tell you a little bit about it, he's a big drug lord. If he scares you, tell me as soon as possible. ”

"If this big lobster can scare me, so can he." Neo waved the giant lobster's huge, segmented pincers in front of Tom's eyes and continued, "Anything else? ”。

"He's got to launder a lot," Tommy said, "and you have to include that in your dealings with him." ”

Neo ate with relish, and the smell of all kinds of seafood filled his nostrils. "Well, I know that," said Neo, "but where is he hiding?" ”。

"He's on his yacht." Tommy said, "He doesn't want anyone to see you with him. This is for your sake. He was cautious in his work. ”

"I don't care who the fuck sees me with him," Neo said, "I want to see me with him." ”

Neo finally finished eating. The last dessert he asked for was fruit, plus a cup of espresso. Tommy expertly peels a pear for him. Neo asked for another cup of espresso. "I've got to keep myself awake," he said, "and the third big lobster almost killed me." ”

No one sent the bill. Tommy leaves a twenty-dollar bill on the table and leaves the restaurant with Neo, whose performance at the table causes the restaurant manager to applaud in his heart.

Tommy leads Neo to a rented car, and Neo struggles to get inside. "Dude, can't you afford to rent a bigger car?" Neo asked.

"It's not far from here." Tommy said in a reassuring tone. In fact, the car only drove for five minutes. By this time, it was already completely dark, except for a small yacht moored at the pier.

The springboard was lowered, and a man was guarded next to him, as big as Neo. There was a man standing on the deck at the other end. Tommy and Neo walked across the gangplank and onto the deck. Thayer then appeared on the deck and walked up to shake their hands. He wears a western cowboy-like hat and dodges in a friendly way to prevent Neo from snatching it. But his shorts fit the yacht well.

Thayer led them down the deck and into a cabin that was set up as a dining room. The three of them sat around a table, the chairs comfortable and fixed to the floor.

On the table was a row of wine bottles, a bucket of ice cubes, and a plate of wine glasses. Tommy poured a glass of brandy for each of the three.

That's when the machine started and the yacht began to leave the dock. Neo asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Thayer replied sleekly, "Take a ride and get some fresh air." As soon as we entered the open sea, we went up to the deck to cool off. ”

Neo wasn't unsuspecting, but he was confident and felt he could handle whatever could come his way. He did not dispute Thayer's words.

Thayer said, "Neo, I think you want to do business with me. ”

"No, I want you to partner with me," Neo said smugly, "I'll decide." You can launder money without having to pay a fee. There will also be additional income. I build a mall outside Fresno, and you can invest five million or ten million dollars in a stake. I have a number of other businesses on hand. ”

"Sounds great." Tommy said.

Neo glared at Tommy coldly. "What kind of character are you? I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"He's my partner." Thayer said, "My advisor. I have money, and he has wisdom. He paused and said sincerely, "He has said many good things about you in front of me, Neo, and that's why we have met today." ”

The yacht is speeding at sea, and the glass is a little shaky. Neo wondered if he should involve this guy in cheating in the Super Cup. Immediately, he had a hunch that could never go wrong. He leaned back in his chair, took a sip of brandy, and glanced at Tommy and Valentine with a serious questioning look. He often looked at people with this kind of gaze, and in fact he practiced it many times in private. Men use this gaze before they show trust. It's a kind of trust in your best friend.

"I'm going to tell you a secret," said Neo, "but first, will we do business together?" Would you like to invest in that mall? ”。

"Of course I do." "Tomorrow our lawyers will meet for consultations, and I will pay a sum of money to show my sincerity," Thayer said. ”

Neo drank the brandy from his glass and leaned forward. "I can do it in the Super Cup." He said.

He made an exaggerated gesture and motioned for Tommy to pour him a full bottle of wine. Seeing the two of them stunned, Neo was even more proud. "You think I'm, don't you?" He asked.

Thayer took off his western cowboy hat and stared at it thoughtfully. "I think you're peeing in my hat!" Thayer said, a shallow smile on his face, as if thoughtful: "A lot of people have tried. But Tommy is an expert at it. Tommy? ”。

"This can't be done!" Tommy said: "There's eight months left until the Super Bowl and you can't even know who's going to play. ”

"What the hell is you!" Neo said, "If you don't do anything that is sure of you, I don't have anything." But I tell you, I can do it. If you don't want to be involved, then let's run the mall in partnership. Turn the bow of the boat over and don't waste my time. ”

"It's a little thing, you can't be so angry!" Tommy said, "Tell me how you do it." ”

Neo swallowed a mouthful of brandy and said apologetically, "Forgive me for not being able to tell you. But I can assure you. You bet 10 million dollars. We receive a half dividend. If something goes wrong, I'll pay you back 10 million. What do you think? ”。

Thayer and Tommy looked at each other and couldn't help but grin. Thayer jerked his head down, wearing the hat like a clever squirrel. "You're paying me back the cash, aren't you?" Thayer asked.

"Not exactly!" Neo said, "I'll pay you back on other deals." The asking price is reduced by 10 million. ”

"Did you pay bribes to those players too?" Thayer asked.

"That can't be!" Tommy said: "The salaries of the players are frighteningly high. Definitely bribing officials. ”

Neo's conversation sparked. "I can't tell you, but it's foolproof. Don't worry about the money. Just think about what a glorious thing it is. This will be the biggest bribery scandal in the history of sports. ”

"It's true, people are in prison toasting us." Thayer said.

"It's my virtue not to let you know," Thayer said, "and I'm the one who goes to jail, and you won't." My lawyer is very competent and I have a lot of connections. ”

For the first time, Thayer tampered with Tommy's written lines. He asked, "We've driven far enough, haven't we?" ”。

Tommy said, "Yes, but I think if we talk a little longer, Neo will tell you the truth." ”

"Damn Neo!" Thayer said with a pleasant face, "Do you hear that, Mr. Ghost Hand?" Now I want to hear about the specific means of bribery, and stop talking nonsense. He spoke in a tone of disdain, and Neo blushed.

"You little scoundrel!" Neo said, "You think you can scare me? Do you think you're better than the FBI's Internal Revenue Agency or the West Coast Sherlock? I'm going to pull in your torn pants. ”

Thayer leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and slammed the bulkhead. A few seconds later, two burly, hideous-looking men opened the hatch and stood guard at the door. Neo stood up and swept away the contents of the table with a wave of his big arm. Wine bottles, ice cubes, and glasses all fell to the floor and shattered.

"Don't do that, Neo, listen to me!" Tommy shouted. He wanted to make the man suffer as little as possible. In addition, he was reluctant to act as a shooter, which was not part of the original plan. But Neo rushed to the door, ready for a hand-to-hand fight.

Suddenly, Thayer reached into Neo's arms crossed across his chest. The two men then parted, and Neo fell to his knees and collapsed to the ground. It's a terrifying sight. His shirt had been cut in half by a knife, and there was a huge wound on his hairy right chest, and blood gushed out, staining half of the table.

Thayer held a dagger in his hand, the wide-rimmed blade and the entire handle stained with scarlet blood.

"Move him to a chair." Thayer said to his men, then pulled down the tablecloth and plugged Neo's wounds. Neo was so frightened that he was almost delirious.

Tommy said, "You could have waited a little longer. ”

"No way!" Thayer said: "This guy is very good. I'm going to see how good he is. ”

"I'll go to the deck and get things ready." Tommy said. He didn't want to watch from the sidelines. He never tortures people. Neo didn't really have an extraordinary secret, so there was no need to abuse him like this. Killing people is nothing more than getting him out of this world and no longer posing a danger to himself.

Tommy goes up to the deck to find the two men ready to stop. The iron cage hung on the iron hook, and the iron bar baffle was tightly closed. The deck was covered with a layer of plastic film.

Tommy let the salty sea breeze blow across his cheeks, and the sea was calm and purple in the middle of the night. The yacht slowed down and stopped.

Tommy's eyes were staring at the sea, and fifteen minutes later, the two men who had been guarding the door dragged Neo's body up. The sight was so devastating to Tommy that he couldn't bear to see it.

The four men put Neo's body in an iron cage and slowly lowered it into the sea. One of them adjusted the partition slightly, so that the animals of the deep sea could slip over the iron bars and have a good meal. Then the hook was released, and the cage sank to the bottom of the sea.

Before the sun comes out, nothing but the remains of Neo are left in the iron cage at the bottom of the sea, floating endlessly in the cage.

Thayer went up to the deck. He had apparently showered and changed his clothes. The western cowboy's hat pressed against his wet, slippery hair. There was not a trace of blood.

"He's gone!" Thayer said, "You should wait for me to come up." ”

Tommy asked, "Did he say anything?" ”。

"Oh, yes!" Thayer said: "The inside story couldn't be simpler. But he's probably talking nonsense from beginning to end. ”

The next day, Tommy flew to San Bernardino to give Don and Alfred a detailed account of the operation.

"Neo is crazy!" "He bribed the service staff who were responsible for providing meals to the Super Bowl teams," he said. They are ready to drug their food and weaken the team they bet on to lose. Even if the fans don't notice it, it can't escape the eyes of the coaches and players, as well as the FBI. You're right, Don! This scandal threatens to put our plans to naught. ”

"Is he an idiot?" Alfred asked.

"I think he wants to be famous," Tommy said, "and money is not enough. ”

"What about the people who conspired with Neo?" Don asked.

"If they don't hear 'Neo', they'll be scared away." Tommy replied.

Alfred said, "That's right. ”

"Good!" Don said, "What about my grandson? He's not bad, is he? ”。

Don's question seemed to be very casual, but Tommy knew Don very well, and he understood that Don's question was very serious, so he tried to answer as cautiously as possible, but there was obviously something in the words.

"I told him not to wear those pants when he was operating in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. He still wore it, and he didn't go according to plan. We could have had more conversations to get the message, but he wanted blood, so he chopped the guy to pieces and cut off his penis, testicles, and nipples. This is completely unnecessary. He likes to do that, but it's bad for the family. Somebody has to talk to him. ”

"Daddy! You'll have to get out of the way! Alfred said to Don, "He doesn't listen to me. ”

Don #Eastwood chanted for a long time. "He's still young, he's going to mature."

Tommy understands what Don is reluctant to do. He described Thayer's rash behavior with the movie star the night before the operation. He noticed Don shrink a little, and Alfred frowned in disgust. A long silence followed. Tommy couldn't help but wonder if he was going too far.

Finally, Don shook his head and said, "Tommy, your planning is always excellent, and this time is the same, but you can rest assured." You don't have to work with Thayer anymore. But you have to understand that Thayer is the only child of my daughter. Alfred and I had to help him as much as we could. He's going to be smarter. ”

At the Grand Mansion, Franos sat on the balcony of his penthouse suite, gauging the dangers of his actions. He is condescending and has a panoramic view of the entire shopping street. Luxury casino hotels line the streets, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians. He also saw that on the golf course of the Grand Tower, gamblers were trying to make a hole-in-one, superstitiously believing that they would be guaranteed to win at the table.
