Chapter 43: Jaw-dropping (I)

"I throw in the towelβ€”β€”!"

At the moment when he saw the final result, the iron-faced little Yode admitted defeat without a moment's hesitation, and looked coldly at the black-haired wizard who didn't have half a wave on his face:

"Congratulations, Viscount Loren, you won this game!"

After saying that, he took the wine glass on the table and drank it down, and turned away without looking back.

It's not just that all the 10 million chips in hand have been lost, but that the general trend is gone...... If you don't admit defeat decisively, the next situation will only become more and more unfavorable.

If you continue to lose, you will not only lose your own capital, but also the dignity of the Yode Chamber of Commerce and the reputation of your own foundation with victories again and again!

The purpose of his trip is not just to gamble, but to completely conquer the large and small chambers of commerce in the imperial capital in this way, so that they can see the situation clearly and choose to cooperate with the Yode Chamber of Commerce, instead of going against themselves.

If you can't make them understand the financial resources of the Yod Chamber of Commerce, and you can't understand how you throw people who dare to oppose you into hell... And on what basis did he get their allegiance?

The banquet hall was still full of noise and exclamation, and many people's eyes were staring at the 10 million chips on the table... That's definitely not a "small number", even the presidents of many trade unions and chambers of commerce may not have this number in their net worth!

The full tax revenue of the Sackland Empire for half a year is only about 120 million silver coins, and the wizard advisor of His Highness Brandon in front of him won one-twenty-fourth of the empire's annual tax revenue in just the first round!

And the ugly-looking little Yode had already quietly slipped into the corner of the hall, arguing quietly with the people next to him while eating, and seeing that the clothes were all from the Yode Chamber of Commerce.

As for President Clermont, who was still waiting in the banquet hall with a smile on his face... The moment Loren won 10 million, he disappeared without a trace, and no one knows where he went.

"Viscount Loren, this, these are your winning chips and gold bonds... Do you need us to help you convert it all into cash, or do you have a money lender?"

The old dealer had completely lost his initial composure, weighing the same amount of chips and bonds as the hill, and his withered hands kept shaking.

"Not for the time being, His Excellency Yod Jr. must be very eager to win these back, I have to give him this chance. Loren's expression was indifferent, and he casually picked up a stack of gold bonds and handed it to the old dealer:

"These are your hard work for tonight, and you have to trouble you to clean up here, and please help me and Miss Lena prepare a room on the top floor, we will definitely not be able to leave tonight......"

"Thank you, Viscount, I'll go and prepare, and the Holy Cross will bless you."

The surprised old dealer took it in a panic, although it was not much compared to 10 million, but the credit of the Yode Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital was very good, and a full dozen gold bonds were worth more than 120,000 silver coins!

Driven by the enthusiasm of the "unexpected tip", the old dealer, who seemed to be old and frail, burst into an astonishing enthusiasm, quickly cleaned up the table, and shouted for a waiter to prepare a room for the black-haired wizard and Miss Lena.

Just as he left in a hurry, he didn't notice that the black-haired wizard, who was always smiling, "accidentally" let one of the dice fall into his coat pocket......

"You look proud, Your Highness the Prince's Wizard Advisor. ”

The expressionless "black-framed glasses" stood beside Loren, and there seemed to be a little unconvincing in his voice: "This is only the first game, but it's just a little luckier." ”

"Alas... Miss Lena came running over to remind me to be careful?" Loren hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slyly: "I'm so moved that I'm about to cry!"

"Don't be sentimental, I'm just keeping our previous agreement. Snorted, "black-rimmed glasses" raised an eyebrow: "Compared to Isaac Grantham, you are about the same as a big mouse in my eyes." ”

"I can't tell... You like Isaac so much?"

"If you compare like-mindedness to 'estrus,' I have reservations. ”

The girl remained unrelenting: "The vast majority of human beings have brains about the size of walnuts, and they can think of things that are extremely poor, stupid, and in estrus all the time of the year, and their expressions when they see women and possessions are like those of a donkey that has been drugged." ”

β€œ......”

"Unfortunately, the Great Holy Cross has made me a member of this stupid imbecile race, but fortunately its all-powerful power does not make me feel any affection for a group of mentally retarded and distracted beasts. ”

β€œ......”

"I don't know how you did it, but I know you must have cheated, and you did it in the first place. Lena pushed her black-rimmed glasses and looked at Loren with a dead face:

"I also know that the reason why you're putting it off to the last step is not only because of the bet, but also because of whether Yode Jr. is cheating as well – and in terms of the results, the answer is yes. ”

β€œ......”

"Alas... Why don't you speak?"

β€œ......”

The black-haired wizard, who was stunned for five minutes and finally recovered from the shock, let out a sigh of relief and picked up the box containing gold bonds on the table: "This is two million gold bonds, please be sure to put them away." ”

The girl frowned slightly, and had no intention of taking it at all: "This is not the condition we said was good, and the big gamble is not over yet." ”

"On the contrary, I'm giving you this money because it's not over yet. Loren's expression was extremely solemn: "From now on, I will no longer have any doubts about you, but sincerely regard you as my ally!"

This is the result of Loren's deliberation in five minutes... If this Miss Lena de Salion really lured herself into taking the bait and deliberately tricked herself, then whether she helped her pay off her debts or not, her every move was already under her control!

"You're... Aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and run away?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid... But there is no point in doing that. The black-haired wizard sighed, "But even if I wait until it's over and give you this money, what can I do with you?"

"Miss Lena, your surname is de Salion... Even if it's a side branch, the royals are not something that a little wizard advisor can touch, and if I really want to blackmail you, I'm afraid I will have to wait until you help me do that. ”

"But then I have one more concern... There are not many people who can come up with two million silver coins at once, but there are definitely a lot of them, and I have to take into account the possibility that you may be bribed by others, and there is absolutely no chance of winning against them in terms of financial resources. ”

"So why don't you help me pay off my debts first, and use this small gesture of goodwill to ensure the alliance between the two sides?"

The girl shrugged her shoulders and snorted lightly, obviously a little disdainful: "It's a pity, I still have some expectations for your intelligence." ”

β€œ...... I'm sorry to disappoint you. ”

The corners of Loren's mouth twitched, and the smile on his face was extremely stiff: "I don't know... What would you do if it were the other way?"

"Quite simply, I don't pin my fate and hopes on others, and everything starts with the worst. Lena glanced meaningfully at the black-haired wizard:

"Trying to control a person who thinks for himself... No matter how imbecile a creature or being, it is very stupid, and it is an extremely arrogant move!"

"You'd better figure out how to win back my two million debts, Lord Loren Torin... Although I never expected you to succeed. ”

"Then why did you bring me here?"

"Hmm... Anyway, it doesn't cost anything, just like you said my surname is de Salion, and they don't dare to do anything to me. ”

β€œ......”

This answer is truly invincible!

Rubbing his face desperately, the black-haired wizard who had recovered from the shock of being hit again and again by the "black-framed glasses" saw that little Yod had sat down opposite him again, and there was not much smile on Tie Qing's face.

"Ahem, ahem... Now that you're ready, are you ready to start the second round of the game?"

The trembling old dealer walked to the center of the table again, playing with a delicate deck of cards in his hand:

"According to the rules, the second round is a card game... After our unanimous discussion, the theme of this game is......

Blackjack!"
