Also late April, North America, Las Vegas.

The city is like a hipster girl in an underwhelming business, who always wakes up at night, and people tend to date her for a weekend and then leave in a hurry, perhaps never to see each other again.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, it has been a place inseparable from the word "gambling", and the "impression" of the casino and the various imprints tied to gambling have been deeply implanted in this land; The air here seems to be filled with alcohol, all the light here seems to be neon, and what you see, hear, and feel here...... More or less, it will have a bit of an unpredictable taste.

That night, two men walked into the door of the largest casino in Las Vegas, "Takamagahara".

One of them is Sakaki Mumi, who is known as "Woe Sakaki" in the gambling world, and the other is "Veteran", Sollid Wilson.

In Las Vegas, no one would make a fuss even if you were dressed up as Elvis on the street, so the more modest dressed duo didn't attract anyone's attention at first.

However, twenty minutes after they finished changing chips, someone noticed them in the casino's monitoring room.

"Mr. Bossidy, you'd better come and take a look at this." An experienced casino monitor in his forties said as he skilfully switched the real-time footage from a camera to the main screen of the surveillance room.

The man named Bossidy, after hearing his words, quickly put down the chocolate in his hand, got up from the sofa behind him, and stepped forward.

Bossidi is the on-site head of "Takamagahara" and the actual operator of this casino; Nearly fifty years old, he looks fat and mediocre, and his round face is quite intimate after looking at it for a long time. However...... Beneath his deliberately piled up fat armor was actually full of lean muscles, and he himself was an extremely experienced person in combat, and those who were taken lightly by his appearance had to pay a price.

"Is that the kid playing with dice?" Bossidy stared at the frame for only two seconds, and then locked onto Sakaki among the others.

"Craps, about 20 minutes, continuous 'fool's bet', never off the stage (that is, he has not rolled the 'drop point', and he has not actively abstained), and the person next to him who looks like a bodyguard is also all pressed like him." In the next second, the monitor didn't say a word of nonsense, and reported some information that the boss might need very skillfully and efficiently.

"Do you have any feedback from the boxman (the host of the dice game, who monitors the dealer and the game as a whole) and the stickman (who holds a soft stick and is responsible for collecting and distributing the dice, and checking the dice for damage, replacement, or marking)?" Bossidy then asked.

"Nope." The monitor shook his head slightly, "I can't see where there are thousands, but they just keep winning." ”

"Have you checked the blacklist?" Bossidy said again.

"Searched, those two are not on the list." The monitor replied, "All the people at the same table with them, I also did facial recognition comparisons through cameras from all angles, and there was no problem." ”

As soon as these words came out, Bossidi raised his head slightly and took a deep breath.

"......" After exhaling that breath, he turned and walked towards the door, leaving a sentence before going out, "I'll go." ”

…………

Ten minutes later, the casino was underground, in a certain room.

Just now, Bossidi himself came to the lobby and politely "invited" Sakaki and Solid away from the table and brought them here.

Almost all large casinos will have several "dark rooms" like this, and similarly, almost all large casinos will have a "director" like Bossidi.

Bossidy's job was to identify the "bad gamblers" from the crowd and then "invite" them to the dark room, beating them until they confessed to the thousand, returned the money, and promised never to come to the casino again.

It's the rule of trade, and no one cares, and neither does federal law enforcement; Even if someone is crippled or even beaten to death in this room, things can be settled, just a little trouble.

No matter how the giants of the gambling industry use their capital to launder and promote their own industry, the essence of gambling will not change, and the darkness that accompanies it will never be washed away.

Of course, Bossidi is not the kind of unprincipled, indiscriminate murder of innocent sadists, they also have their own rules, only when they really see through the tricks of the old people, can they use force, not to say that whoever wins the casino money will kill whom......

In fact, the "rules" in this gambling world are sometimes more binding than the law.

Squeak - squeak.

The darkroom has a metallic, rather thick, traditional hinged door than an electronic door; When Bosidi closed it, the old doorway made a scalp-tingling sound.

After closing the door, Bossidy turned to look at Sakaki and Solid, and said in a deep voice, "I don't think I need to explain the reason why you are here?"...... ”

"You better explain, we're idle anyway." Sakaki shrugged back.

At this time, Sakaki put on his "ruffian appearance" again, which is also his usual trick.

Bossidy licked his lips, showed a helpless expression, and took out a piece of chocolate from his suit pocket in a motion that seemed to be about to pull out a gun, and peeled off the wrapper and took a bite: "To be honest, I admire you very much......" He paused, swallowed the contents of his mouth, and said, "I have been in this industry for many years, and apart from the 'Star County Gambling King' Hopkins, you are the first person who can do a thousand things in front of me without showing any horses." ”

"Eh~ pay attention to the words." Sakaki raised his right hand and waved his index finger, "Since you can't see the horse's feet, then there is no 'Izuchi', you can only think that I am lucky, or admit that I am a fool." ”

"Personally, I can admit that I am not as good as others." Unprovoked, Bossidi responded calmly, "But I also have my duties, so ...... Why don't you all take a step back...... "He didn't intend to spend too much time with them, so he simply made a condition, "You have won as much as you have so far, you can take the money and leave, I won't embarrass you, but you don't want to come back in the future." ”

"Oh?" Sakaki smiled, "Huh...... What is this? Why didn't I know there were such 'rules'? ”

Of course he knows the rules, he knows it very well.

Indeed, according to the "rules", as long as the losing side can't see through the other party's tricks, then it can only be willing to gamble and lose; If you use force to coerce the other party to give in and spread the word, it will be ridiculed by your peers, and no one in this industry will recognize you or talk to you about the rules anymore.

But this is only "in general", in fact, there are people who break the rules; "Reversing black and white", "killing people and destroying mouths"...... This is a common occurrence in the world of gambling, so it is important to "make sure that you have the ability to take your gambling money alive".

Right now, Sakaki has Sollid as the backing of the force, and he is not afraid of the other party's black game, and it will definitely be beneficial for him to bite the rules.

"Young man, you have to be forgiving and forgiving...... "Bosidi understood that the other side was also an expert, so he did not act rashly, and behaved patiently, "In the end, everyone is seeking money, there is no deep hatred, how much do you want...... Make a price. ”

Bossidi is a very clear person, the core of bargaining is to test the needs and bottom line of the other party, since the other party comes to the casino to make trouble, it is nothing more than asking for money, this price, can be negotiated...... If it is within the acceptable range (for a person like him, 100 million RMB is also within the acceptable range), he, as the person in charge of the site, has full authority to give the money and settle the matter without asking anyone.

Even if Bosidi really spent 100 million today to invite these two plague gods away, the owner of the casino will definitely not hold him accountable afterwards, because "employing people without suspicion" is also the basic principle of this industry, otherwise you will suspect the dealer for a while and the monitor for a while...... If everyone looks like Neiying, then this casino can't be opened.

"We're going to meet with your boss and have a talk." Unexpectedly, immediately afterward, Sakaki made a request that had nothing to do with money.

As soon as he heard this, the corners of Bosidy's eyes jumped, and his heart tightened; To calm himself down and buy him a few seconds to think, he took another bite of chocolate to suppress his shock.

"Did you misunderstand something?" After another bite of chocolate, Bossidy replied, "Mr. Nakamura owns many properties all over the world, and this casino is just one of them, and he himself has not been here for a long time, and he rarely asks about the work here; If you want to see him, call the 'Izumo Group' business cooperation number first, and then make an appointment to find a ......."

"This kind of nonsense will stop here." At this time, Solid, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected and interrupted Bosidi, "You know in your heart...... We're not going to meet the puppet in name, but your 'real boss'. ”

As those five words landed, Bosidi's expression gradually turned cold.

This time, he didn't think much of it, just silently took a few steps back and looked up at the surveillance probe in the corner of the ceiling.

In just five seconds, the door of the dark room was opened again, and immediately more than a dozen burly men in suits rushed in, and spread out in a fan-shaped queue, faintly surrounding Sakaki and Solid.

"I'll just ask once......" When the men in the suit were in place, Bossidy spoke again and said to Sakaki, "...... Who are you? Who asked you to come? What the hell are you going to do? ”

Seeing this, Sakaki retreated to the wall in three steps and two steps, while Sollid stepped forward, unfolded his posture of response, and said coldly: "Reverse Cross, I have something to discuss with your 'princess'." ”
