Chapter 34: Las Vegas
If you keep the string too tight, the bow will break quickly.
With only half an hour to go before Las Vegas, Leus stopped the painful training, but also reaped the remarkable results that took nearly three days of training.
When Legsay landed at the international airport, it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was clear, with white clouds in the blue sky, and the scenery was quite good.
Leus took everyone in a taxi, first booked a room at an international hotel, and then turned around and went to the local police station, although the hunters were directly subordinate to the Ministry of Mutant Affairs, but under Hank's maneuvering, they had some power to mobilize the help of the police station system.
"Welcome, I wonder if you need any help?"
The chief of police here is a fat black man of large tonnage, but he has long since given up the pride of his African ancestors, and he greets Leus with a false smile on his fat face.
"Yes, I want all the information of this man, he is in this city."
Leus took out a copy from Anna's bag next to her, which was Jean Jacques's personal information.
The black fat chief gave things to his subordinates, and then welcomed them to the living room, although he is considered a soil emperor here, but in the face of the people above, he still has to be respected.
During the waiting time, Leus was not idle, and in the casual conversation with the black director, he quickly listened to the basic forces and information of this place.
Until the lean white guy came over, he said: "I found out, this person is the owner behind the Renrenle casino at MGM Plaza, and his life is very regular, from Monday to Friday, every day from afternoon to evening will be in his casino, but Saturday and Sunday will definitely not stay in Las Vegas." ”
"Looks like you're lucky." The black chief bared a mouthful of white teeth, and today was Friday.
"Then we're going to hurry up." Simon was eager to try, and the feeling of doing private work with his back to the state was very exciting for him.
But Leus shook his head, he had his own plan: "No, you, Anna, and the Phantom Cat stay here, and I will contact you at will through the guò communicator." ”
"Why?"
Not only Simon, but also Phantom Cat didn't quite understand, she felt that she was much better than the two mutants around her.
"The water here is very deep, and before we figure out the situation, I will go with Kert to find out the situation, and sometimes fewer people are an advantage." Leus drank a glass of boiled water.
Simon and the others were a little disappointed, but the black chief looked at Leus's face and praised it, and he agreed: "Actually, your captain is right, gambling is always associated with violence, sex, and money. What's more, there are many of them like you. ”
The black chief looked at the Blue Devil and Simon meaningfully, although the latter was wearing a cloak, he had already taken off his hood indoors, and his blue skin was very dazzling.
"Cotter, let's go."
Leus put on his jacket and greeted the Blue Devil.
"Lee, stay safe."
Anna couldn't help but give him a hug, she didn't want anyone to get hurt because of this.
……
"Are you and her a couple?"
In the taxi, the Blue Devil asked Leus.
"No, just friends."
Leus denied it and asked, "What about you, where do you plan to live in the future?" ”
"You might find a circus to join, or you might be wandering all the time."
"Then why did you leave X Academy?"
“…… I do not know. Kert hesitated for a moment before replying.
A smile appeared on the corner of Lius's mouth: "No, you know, it's just that you don't want to face it." ”
The Blue Devil felt that a soft place in his heart had been poked, and like a frightened rabbit, he glared at Leus fiercely, not meaning anything else, just pure surprise.
But Leus didn't say any more, he needed more patient guidance for this sensitive, child-like mutant.
After a few dozen minutes of silence, the taxi stopped, and Lius looked out the window, although it was only afternoon, the signboard lights of a large casino next to it were all turned on.
"Let's get out of the car and let's see the casinos in Las Vegas."
"Would you consider gambling a sin?"
"Everyone's definition of sin is different and changes over time and experience, so I can't answer that question."
Leus avoided the Blue Devil's question, believing that there was never a clear line between right and wrong, good and evil, and that what separated them was simply the same preferences that belonged to the majority.
"How are we going to find him?" The Blue Devil changed the question.
"Why should you look for him, you should let him come to us."
Leus said, turning all the hunter's $3,000 for this month's activities into red chips.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Win, keep winning."
A smile appeared on the corner of Leus's mouth, using his superpowers to gamble and cheat, which was something he had always wanted to do!
Stud, Texas Hold'em, Blackjack ...... Leus excitedly changed to one game after another, and the chips in his hand became more and more, and he played bigger and bigger.
But the games he plays have one thing in common, that is, he never plays with the machine, he only chooses to play directly with others.
Three hours later, it was getting dark.
From the initial $3,000 in chips, Leus now has nearly three million chips in his hands, and in just three hours, his assets have multiplied a thousandfold.
Such a move had already attracted the attention of the casino's officials, and four or five tall young men in suits were already standing behind Leus in the same direction.
Now Leus is in the biggest gamble yet, playing the simplest of swindles, against seven people, including four multimillionaires, two millionaires, and one billionaire.
"Abstain."
"Damn, bad luck! I also abstained. ”
By the end of the round, the chips at the table had reached almost five million, and the two millionaires, who were still somewhat sane, were the first to withdraw under pressure.
"Crazy! You're all crazy, haha, but I like it, I'm with you! ”
"I'll follow and see who can play better."
Another round passed, and the stacks of chips were getting closer to 10 million, and two more multimillionaires shook their heads and chose to quit, and the cards in his hand made him not have the confidence to follow.
At this time, the crowd of onlookers had reached nearly 100 people, and as the youngest at the poker table, Li Wusi, who was only seventeen years old, had a calm face like water.
