Chapter 464: The Return of the Prophet (6)
Henry glared angrily at the "old friend" on the ground, for a veteran boss who was mixed up in Auston City, it was a very important thing to make friends with the powerful. "Once you've become a high-profile person, whether you're a slave or a royalty, you have to find your way back and be accepted into those groups very quickly. If you can, make some concessions, because that's the stage that a successful person has to go through. These are the words that Henry often said, and he not only instilled this "knowledge" in his own descendants, but also believed that these techniques were indeed effective. "You killed Devitt?"
Andy doesn't know the relationship between Henry and DeWitt, his childhood life has never left Muddy Waters, but the feud between the Hardbones and the Rotten Ship Bottom Gang has always played out in Alex's Tavern, and as for the Senate, it is impossible to appear in Muddy Waters. Andy was now just trying to use the Senate's death to cause chaos in Auston City, and he weighed it up with Duke in his torture chamber before deciding to act here in Muddy Water. The Hardbones are powerful, using their privileges beyond the law to oppress the poor and exterminate their rivals. "The only one who can attract the senate magicians to the past is Henry, and no one else has such abilities. "Duke conspired with the details of the operation.
"Are you the one at the bottom of the rotten ship?" asked Henry, angrily. His face was flushed, and the wire around his neck had dug deep into the flesh. "Okay, I'll agree to make the last bet, and if I win, you'll have to leave Muddy Alley with DeWitt's body at once. Henry finally relented.
Andy revoked Henry's magic, looked at the messy table and asked, "Should we change places?" Srimore nodded, to be honest, she was indeed very shocked to see Andy's white hair just now, but after the friction just now, she suddenly felt that her sweetheart was very stylish, at least the heroism between her eyebrows was still so attractive.
Henry nodded, his men were definitely more than that, but it was late at night, and these three "fools" were the weakest characters in the gang, and he needed to delay for some time. "We went upstairs and there was a private room. As soon as he finished speaking, Henry tore off the corner of his shirt and bandaged himself briefly, and he led Andy and Slimmore down the stairs to the second floor. "I worked here as a kid for a long time, but I never went up to the second floor. Srimore touched Andy with her arm, feeling that her husband's words were inappropriate, at least she didn't want Henry to suspect their identity.
The second floor was spacious, and Henry led Andy into one of the VIP rooms. "You may be seated, if you are not here to find fault, I will definitely bring out some of the best beers for you to taste. He sat down. Henry looked at the empty table and asked, "Now that you have the initiative, how to bet on the last hand, I will listen to you." Henry did give Andy the "initiative", but then Andy, who didn't know how to gamble at all, had to sit in the bank. "What do you think, my dear?" he tilted his head to ask for Srimore's opinion.
"Oh, in that case, let's do what Henry said. Srimore didn't understand what Andy meant, and the game began with awkward laughter. Andy sat in his chair, he didn't know how to start, time started to slow down, and they could hear each other's heartbeats. "So let's get started. Henry's face was full of confidence. According to the rules of Rebecca's casino, the dealer does not set the rules and does not bet, which is equivalent to admitting defeat.
Andy handed the Eye of Harris to Henry. "We're going to bet on that. Henry waved his hand to signal the other party to be calm, he had already seen that Andy would not gamble, he was using the rules to win, but the "dealer" had already started, and he had no reason to refuse. "What are we betting on? Is this necklace a bet or something?" said Henry, thinking that there was something to approve before the gamble could begin.
"Let's bet on this necklace, you can resist the temptation of the dark arts, even if I lose. "Andy is very confident. Not to be outdone, Henry needed to stall for time, the real war had not yet begun. Sremore was honest this time, sitting in her chair and waiting for the game to end. Henry looked at the ruby necklace and asked, "Have you started?" Andy nodded. Henry continued, "We should set a time limit, and this kind of game can't be without rules. ”
Andy nodded and said, "No problem, I have a time hourglass here that can be used to keep time." When Henry heard the "hourglass of time", his outstretched hand immediately stopped on the table, and he carefully looked at the "gadget" that Andy took out, which was a delicate hourglass, with a gold-encrusted base, and an hourglass made of transparent crystal.
"To be honest, I thought you really had an hourglass. Henry spoke his heart very unnaturally. Andian placed the hourglass and placed the Eye of Harris on the table, a red light shining directly on the ceiling. "No one can resist the power of the Eye of Harris. Andy muttered a strange incantation.
When Henry heard the "Eye of Harris" know about the scheme, he immediately stood up and ran away from the door. "You lost. Andy reminded as he looked at Henry's back. "I won't cooperate with you to death. After that, the gang boss, known for his "hard bones", jumped down the stairs, and he happened to step on the bar, and his already disabled right leg was completely broken. He clutched his deformed right leg and wailed in pain, his voice hoarse but ridiculous.
Andy leads Srimore downstairs, where he treats Henry with Emma's essence. "Why?" Henry asked. Andy smiled, pointing to the iconic chair and saying, "I used to live here, when I was young, I couldn't tell right from wrong, and I didn't know good from evil. ”
Henry's broken leg was gradually healed by Emma's essence, and even his old wounds from years ago were healed. Andy picked up the beer on the bar and took a sip, he shook his head and said, "It tastes bad." Henry gasped and moved to the ground, his eyes fixed on the ground, and suddenly he reached out his right hand to his injured neck. "You're definitely not from the Rotten Bottom Gang, who the hell are you?" he questioned his judgment. Andy heard that there was no hypocrisy in the other party's questioning, so he told his identity, and Henry was shocked when he heard it.
"Actually, I've talked to Duke about making you a scapegoat. At the time, we both agreed to blame the Hardbones for DeWitt's death, but I still couldn't convince myself to be ruthless. Andy looked very ashamed, and the wine glass in his hand was lifted again. Heng touched his right leg with his hand, and he already had an idea in his heart. "I agree to play the role you set for me. ”
Andy was happy to hear Henry's words, he thought that the conquest of Henry would require a big battle, but he didn't expect Emma's essence to play a decisive role. He smiled and asked, "What are the conditions?" Henry laughed out loud, picked up the pipe on the bar and put it in his mouth, and then replied cheerfully, "Unconditional obedience." Srimore looked at the two very "strange" people and whispered, "You better hurry, there seems to be someone outside." ”
