In a dimly lit and low room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Peeling and faded wallpaper, mold-stained corners, yellowed tablecloths, polished old tables and chairs, and stale cups on the tables are the standard in the cheap taverns of the lower town.

This place, which is usually used to entertain cooks, today welcomed two guests who were out of place.

Hawke walked to the window, held out two fingers, lifted the greasy floral curtains, and looked out at the harbor.

Bunting flutters on the crowded docks, crowded with curious civilians, and giant steel monsters moored silently in the harbor, waiting for the first voyage that will go down in history.

"Don't say the ship looks good." Rice, who had two mustaches, leaned over, with a hint of interest in his eyes, "It is said that the total length is a hundred feet longer than that of Maolitania, and it is more luxurious." ”

"Hmph." Hawke threw away the curtain in his hand, let out a nasal sound of displeasure, turned and walked to the table, and sat upright in the oily wooden chair, his cane pounding heavily on the floor.

For Hawke, it is absolutely intolerable to be robbed of orders by Wolf using despicable means to become the biggest winner, and the Titanic standing in the harbor at this time is the biggest mockery of him and a serious provocation to his dignity.

Realizing the gaffe, Rice grimaced at the dusty window, rubbed his hat in his hand, and walked to the table and sat down.

"What the hell is going on, didn't that guy get off the boat yesterday?" Hawke thought of the purpose of coming today, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned his head to look at Rice, "Why hasn't it appeared until now?" ”

Les frowned as if he had a toothache, revealing a helpless expression, "Hey, I was also deceived by this guy, he received the deposit yesterday and promised to do well, but I went to him today, and the person disappeared." ”

"That's the reliable person you're looking for?" Hawke's eyes widened and he glared at Rice.

Rice also secretly complained in his heart, he regretted that he was greedy for a while, and he was lazy to do this chore, neither Hawke nor Wolf could afford to offend, although the other party did not tell him the purpose of doing this, but he also vaguely knew that it was related to the first voyage of the Titanic, but the guy he found was slippery and ruthless, and he heard the news from nowhere, knowing that he could not shirk it now, so he simply fled, and now he is afraid that he has already taken the train back to London, even if he wants to chase it, he can't catch it back.

"The ship is going to leave early tomorrow morning, and you must find me one of these before then!" Hawke grabbed his cane and tapped the floor hard, strengthening his tone, his eyebrows raised high, "Otherwise, don't blame me for not keeping my promises." ”

After repeatedly promising that the matter would be settled by tonight, Les calmed the disgruntled Hawke and hurried out of the room back to the smoky tavern.

"A glass of whiskey with no ice." Les tugged at his neckline, pulled off his uncomfortable bow tie and stuffed it into his pocket, and waved to the bartender behind the bar.

The bartender, a middle-aged man who looked shrewd, put the wine glass in front of Les, and said rather gossipily, "I heard that guy you found ran away overnight?" ”

Les was slightly startled, and quickly glanced around vigilantly, leaned over and lowered his voice, "You know so?" ”

"That guy won a lot of money here yesterday, and we all heard it when we bragged to Jasmine." The bartender grabbed a rag and wiped his glass, looking like he was watching a good show, "No matter what you promise now, you shouldn't be able to find anyone willing to do it with you." ”

"This bastard." Les slammed his glass on the bar and cursed with a twisted face, no wonder this guy ran away overnight, and it was not easy for him to find a random scapegoat.

"Don't be discouraged." The bartender leaned elbows on the bar and leaned over to Rice, motioning for him to look at the table in the corner, "There's a new guy there, and he should be the best candidate." ”

Les turned his head to follow the bartender's line of sight, he was very familiar with Olaf and Sven, knowing the details of these two, his eyes fell on Liu Minghao's thin back, and he couldn't help but show a gloating smile, "This guy really doesn't have long eyes, and he has touched this pair of evil stars." ”

"Then you're wrong." The bartender blinked, pretending to lower his voice mysteriously, "You didn't see that Olaf's face was already blackened. This kid is not ordinary, he hasn't lost a game until now, I really don't know how he did it. At the end, the bartender couldn't help but smack his lips, it was the first time he had seen a guy at the table who could make Olaf and the two of them deflated.

Les's eyes immediately lit up, Olaf and Sven were famous thousands of visitors in the port, but they only chose outsiders as targets, never attacked the locals, and they were at peace with each other.

In this kind of place, as long as it is not involved in its own interests, no one will meddle in their own affairs, and naturally no one will sympathize with those fooled fools.

Rice has played a lot with these two people, and has some understanding of their card skills, and heard that Liu Minghao didn't lose a game, obviously either outstanding card skills or excellent skills, no matter which point, it just meets the requirements put forward by Hawke.

Liu Minghao's ability was limited, naturally he didn't notice the discussion between the two behind him, at this time the money in front of him had been piled up into a hill, looking at the faces of Olaf and Shi Wen Tieqing opposite, he was secretly amused in his heart, his face still looked very relaxed, he reached out and buckled his cards to the table, leaning over slightly, "How about it, the last moment to decide your fate, show your cards." ”

Sven held the cards in both hands, his shoulders trembled slightly, trying his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, Olaf almost wanted to break the cards in his hand in two, his temples beat violently, his gloomy eyes stared at Liu Minghao, and his cheeks twitched slightly.

No matter how hard he tries, he can't see the flaws of the person in front of him, and even now he can't be sure whether the other party is out of the old man, because of some special reason, they don't dare to make a big noise, if they are desperate to accuse the other party of a thousand, in the end there is no evidence, but the other party exposes the deception, it will only bring endless trouble to themselves.

Liu Minghao didn't seem to see the gloomy expressions of the two, his eyes swept over the two tickets on the table, showing a slight smile, and raised his chin to the beard on the right side that had never noticed anything unusual.

"Nope." The beard seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, threw the cards in his hand on the table, he was a half-hung novice, was temporarily asked to help by Olaf, watching Liu Minghao in front of the gambling funds continue to increase, at the same time, he was even more worried, for fear that his poor old book would lose a golden light, and he wished it would end early, so as to get out quickly.
