Chapter 43: Fernando

With the help of the system, Brunei proved his strength perfectly in the gamble against Fernando, and thus proved that he did not go out of the thousand. Although it is strange to say, the system's "special skill system" is indeed a cheating method that is completely undetectable, including the legendary Kriegli who is rumored to be sensitive to magic fluctuations, so at least for them, the system's help is part of his personal gambling skills.

In short, the game was over, with Fernando winning six out of ten games and Brunei winning four, while in terms of chips, Brunei won a net of nearly 20,000 standard units. Although Brunei has undoubtedly lost the game in the small game, in fact, gamblers can also see that it is mainly because Brunei has always been unlucky in these ten games, and the situation that the loose hand is still very small has repeatedly occurred.

When he left the table, the four strong men who had been staring behind him all threw him very different eyes from before, and the onlookers next to him let out a monstrous cheer from the bottom of their hearts, and even a few guys who had lost badly under Brunei Darussalam before shouted proudly for some reason, with a proud expression.

Scully was a little rusty at the beginning of the deal, and at the beginning of the third game, she accidentally showed Fernando's hole cards, and had to start over, but by the last two rounds, her posture was the same as that of the real dealer. It wasn't until the end of the game that she bowed to Fernando, Brunei and the crowd before she smiled contentedly.

Looking closely, at this time, her face had turned into a flush of excitement, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the top of her head, which was a look she had never shown before, but it reminded Brunei of the time when she was 12 years old when she played with Su and others.

Fernando, on the other hand, instead of recovering his losses as planned, lost an additional 20,000 standard units, resulting in Brunei Darussalam's chips approaching 90,000, which is not a small amount even for him. From the previous situation when he bet that he thought he could win back later, 10,000 would also make him flesh pain, but now, I don't see any special reaction from his loss of another 20,000. In fact, if you just look at his expression, you can't figure out who actually won the gamble. The smile that remained the same did not waver in the slightest, but the eyes of Brunei became more and more strange.

[Yes, you kid. A man with a charm value of 80 NTR charm value close to 90, a rich girl with an extraordinary family background, has gained the fiery gaze of a rich second-generation domineering president suspected of having an underworld background, it is simply a perfect combination of all the advantages of Tanmei and female dick silk counterattack romance novels, and it may become popular if it is sent to the female frequency. 】

Brunei ignored all the incomprehensible nonsense in the system's speech, and almost completely subconsciously distilled the true meaning of the system's words, and then responded casually in his heart: "Phew, you guy is getting more and more disgusting." ”

Then, Fernando invited Brunei and Scully to the "private room" to discuss the matter in detail. Only then did Brunei realize that there was a wooden staircase on the other side, which was not hidden, but also magnificent, and the handrails of the staircase shimmered golden under the illumination of the indoor lights, which was quite conspicuous, but he had not noticed it at all before.

The second floor is a little more extravagant than the first floor. After a period of hanging out with William and Scarly, Brunei's understanding of luxury goods has grown by leaps and bounds, although he has not paid much attention to it. At first glance, the pale red carpet on the floor looks much more dull and plain than the bright red on the first floor, but judging by the detailed pattern, the price should be ridiculously high for Brunei – at least, for Brunei, which used to earn 20 standard units a month.

The beautiful orange-red wooden door is not overly decorated, and when you push it open, it is a color of green and blue supplemented by it, and there are no too complicated decorations, but even Brunei, who has no special feelings about this kind of thing, somehow feels comfortable when he sees the layout of the room. Look at Scarly, she looks like she is normal.

In the private room, there were originally two women standing, their makeup and figure were seven points similar to the previous dealer named Lorraine, but they were not so revealing, and the lower half of their bodies were also mid-length skirts, and only half of their calves were exposed. After seeing the three of them come in and bow down to greet them in a standard and terrible posture, they didn't see what Fernando was gesturing, so they consciously dragged out their chairs, waited for Brunei and Scarly to sit down, and then bowed again, pushed them out, and closed the door.

Fernando watched the two of them walk out, walked to the door, locked it, and listened contrivedly on the door for a while before nodding at the two of them with his usual smile, walked to the table opposite them, and sat down.

Before Fernando could sit down, Scarly couldn't wait to speak, perhaps because she was feeling a little impatient, but Brunei felt that it was more likely that she hadn't withdrawn from the excitement she had just had. She pressed her left leg against her right leg, and when she saw Fernando sit down, she leaned forward sharply, her right arm resting on the table, and her left hand hanging down: "What are you doing there?

During this time, Brunei's impression of Scari has been constantly changing, but now the change caused by Scarly's movements and tone is still quite a huge one. Now in Brunei's mind, the image of the cold, polite, and somewhat noble rich girl he first encountered in the "Gerald Magic Supply Shop" was gone. However, the image of a 12-year-old girl with a lively personality and the pursuit of freedom is not not bad.

Fernando chuckled a few times: "My dear Scarlett, you are cuter now than before. Of course not, even if I did do the stupid thing of inviting you to the second floor in front of everyone, I wouldn't do anything to Scarlett, wouldn't I? ”

Scarly pursed her lips in disgust, and Brunei nodded with a smile.

Fernando then showed a slightly embarrassed expression, his face tilted slightly to the side, and his eyes flickered for a moment: "However, Scarlett is right about one thing. Ninety thousand standard units is really not a small number. It's not that the 'gold coin' can't be taken out, it's just that if you take out such a sum of money all at once, if something happens and the turnover is not working, I'm afraid this 'gold coin' won't be able to be opened. ”

"So, what do you mean?" Brunei responded to Fernando before Scarry, who pouted a little unhappily, rolled her eyes at Brunei, stuck out her tongue, turned her face away, put her arms around her chest, and snorted.

Brunei and Fernando looked at each other and smiled when they saw Scully's movements, and Fernando shrugged his shoulders very chicly: "Of course, Brunei, you are my friend, and I will not let you suffer." Don't worry that I will rely on the 90,000 standard units, but I hope to discuss with you if you can not pay it in one lump sum. ”

"......" Brunei thought carefully for a while, glanced over to Scarly, and saw that she was still looking at the other side in anger, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Fellβ€”Mr. Thrace." To you, 90,000 standard units is just a reluctant number, but to me, it's a huge amount of money that I couldn't even imagine before - it means that my life will change forever. So, I'm going to look a little bit, well, overly calculating, would you mind?"

Fernando's strange smile and eyes were revealed again, and Brunei was furious: "You mean, are you willing to accept a proposal that I don't pay all at once?"

Brunei coughed dryly, and said as calmly as possible: "Yes, it's just, in concrete-"

"Great!" Fernando suddenly slammed the table with excitement on his face, making Brunei shiver all over, and before Brunei could continue, he said excitedly, "Brunei, my friend, I really didn't misunderstand you! Interest is very troublesome to calculate, and it is not good for us, as the debtor, to ask too much of you, so even if we owe you 100,000 standard units. ”

Brunei's eyes widened, and before he could speak, Fernando continued, without giving him a chance to interject: "And then, at any time, you take this badge I signed, in every 'gold coin'...... and all other properties owned by the Fernando family, which can be accounted for by us. With cash within 10,000 standard units, I believe that there will be no big problem with our family's property. There is a week of fundraising, and 100,000 yuan is not impossible to come up. ”

Brunei looked at Fernando with a dull expression, and Fernando continued to stare at Brunei with that eagerly incredulous look, and the two looked at each other in silence for a long time, until Scarly, who kept turning her head and glancing at her with her spare eyes, finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled Brunei's ear, lowered her voice and said, "It's okay! After all, you are just a commoner, and he came up with such conditionsβ€”although I still hate him very much, I have to say that he has done his best this time." What else do you want?"

Brunei shuddered suddenly, smiled a little awkwardly, and looked at Fernando's hand stretched out on the table, the palm of his hand was a black thing, faintly reflecting white light, as if it was an iron product, the shape was very special, as if it contained some special meaning, in terms of charm, it was similar to the kind of iron piece used to hold "wages" that Brunei was familiar with, but it was much more delicate: "Sorry, your conditions are too generous, I, I didn't react at once." It'sβ€”"

"The family coat of arms of the Fernando family. Thrace Fernando straightened his waist suddenly, and his face revealed a look of pride, but he soon regained his usual easy-going smile, "The members of our family, all of our magic emblems, are based on this. So, don't worry that someone won't recognize you. Also, friend, you can probably see that, right, it has an enchantment effect on it, so there is no possibility of it being copied. ”

"Thrace S. D.H. Fernando. He continued, "This is my full name. Take this badge and tell people my name, and I'm sure no one will refuse to pay you a debt. ”

Fernand said as he casually threw the incomparably valuable badge in his mouth to Brunei's side, and Bruneith subconsciously saw that it looked like a flower with a lit candle in the middle, but perhaps because it was all carved from black iron, it did not look beautiful and elegant, but had a chilling and dangerous atmosphere.

β€œ...... Thank you very much for your generosity. Brunei thought about it and put the badge away.

Seeing his action, Fernando seemed to be very satisfied, nodded, and then waved his hand and said, "You're welcome." We're friends now. So, if we're done talking about gambling arrears, let's talk about something else. If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have mentioned earlier that you're Scarlett's, uh, 'makeshift guard'?"

Brunei opened his mouth and saw Scarly on the side, leaning back. Scarly looked a little satisfied, hugged her chest, and raised her head: "Huh? yes, what's wrong?"

Fernando laughed again: "Nothing. It's just that, Brunei, my friend, are you interested in helping me after you're done with Scarlett's bodyguard? What do you think, Brunei?"

Before Brunei could answer, Scarly suddenly slammed the table and stood up, Brunei glanced at her, only to be grabbed by her arm: "Say something nonsense, will I treat him badly! Let's go!"

"No, Miss, this-" To be honest, Fernando's attitude and words were quite impressed by Brunei's thoughts, and if he hadn't just been startled and distracted by Scarly, he might have said yes.

Feeling the rebellious meaning in Brunei's tone and movements, Scarly turned her head viciously and stomped her foot hard: "You are still my guard now!

The first rule is that the master's orders are absolutely not allowed to be violated. 】

β€œ...... You shut up. Brunei cursed in his heart, and honestly let Scarry out the door.

Fernando, on the other hand, still seemed to be smiling happily, and raised his hand to wave: "Scarlett is still as cute as ever." But, Brunei, my friend, my words are valid at any time, and how about thinking about it?"

After a commotion, silence returned to the private room. The smile on Fernando's face did not disappear because he was alone, he raised his right foot on his left leg, folded his hands and placed them on his thighs, and lay back on his back, lost in thought.

β€œ...... Gentleman. In the shadows, a long-bearded man with gray hair came out of nowhere, dressed in an overly wide light gray cloth robe, and his skin hung on his thin body like his ill-fitting robe, the layers of wrinkles and hunchback made him look much older than he really was, and his voice was very appropriate for the age of the image.

Fernando still maintained his original movements, completely unaffected by the appearance of this person who might be an old man, but his lips opened and closed slightly, and he said softly: "Sir." You should know those two guys, Skali Miltrov, and the other one, the guy I mentioned to you earlier, who won 70,000 standard units in a few hours of gold. ”

"Yes, I thought of it. The man known as Mr. replied, silent for a while, "You seem to like him very much." ”

"Yes. "Fernando doesn't move at all, he looks like a statue," he is good, isn't he? If he looked so immature, he would probably only be sixteen years old. He's good, and he's got a lot of room to grow. ”

"Yes, you were right. I've learned a little bit about it before, and he's really good. The gentleman seemed to be silent for a while every time he finished speaking, "For his age, even, he is too good, just like ......"

"It's like Phoenix. Fernando took over and was silent for a while before continuing as if there was nothing, "You don't have to shy away from anything. Anyway, Phoenix is my brother too, and I don't hate him or hate him, so you don't have to be so cautious about mentioning him. ”

The gentleman's back hunched deeper until he couldn't see his head: "Yes, I see." ”

Fernando closed his eyes lightly and let out a long sigh: "As for you saying that he is like Phoenix - maybe you are right, it is because of this that I like him so much." I hope to be able to recruit him and make him work for me. ”

The gentleman lifted himself up again: "...... Yes, I see. ”

The figure of the gentleman disappeared again into the shadows of the darkness, leaving Thrace Fernando alone, leaning back in his chair, pondering for a long time, and finally whispering to himself: "Brunei, I really like you. So, although you are very much like my brother, don't be too much like him...... Or maybe ......"
