The third floor of the Jinli apartment.

Unlike the second floor, which is completely opened, it is like a regular apartment, with a large number of independent private rooms.

In the corridor, you can see many vicious security personnel standing guard.

Both the cleanliness of the environment and the security force look more regular than the second-floor casino.

Along the way, through the thick corridor walls and door panels, you can vaguely hear the noise in the private room from time to time, and there are excited or desperate roars of gamblers.

Obviously, these separate private rooms are also more secluded casinos, similar to the VIP rooms.

Following in the footsteps of the waiter, Meng Lei and the three of them walked straight towards the end of the corridor after going upstairs.

While walking, Meng Lei was still thinking, what kind of trouble did Serge encounter, it seemed that he was actually detained?

Otherwise, how can personal freedom be restricted, and even a meeting needs to be reported?

Just as they were thinking, the waiter stopped, and everyone came to a private room at the end of the corridor.

Before he could get closer, a rough voice came through the door panel.

"Serge, the matter has come to this, and there are only two options left for you, either to pay back the money immediately, including a lot of interest, a total of 50,000 marks, and then the account between us will be written off, and the door of the Jinli Casino will still be open to you.

If you can't come up with the money today, then your house in Glenfingory Laneway will no longer be yours in the future! ”

After a pause, another man in the room said:

"Man, the casino has the rules of the casino, although we are old friends, but the rules are the rules, there are so many pairs of eyes staring down, if you break the rules, it will be difficult for us to do it.

So, we won't give you any more buffer time, you have to think it through! ”

The two people who spoke were so loud that they could hear them clearly when they stood in the hallway.

Meng Lei paused, and immediately understood what trouble Serge had encountered.

It turned out that it was actually because of the problem of arrears, and it was deducted by the casino.

However, in the current situation, it is a bit strange that the casino would agree to let an outsider come and meet with Serge before the problem is completely solved.

At the same time, it also made Meng Lei a little vigilant, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

"Please, sir, give me some more time! I'll definitely get the money together! ”

At this time, a slightly crying man's voice came from the house again.

The voice was shrill and thin, as if someone had been choking the neck and squeezing it out of his throat, and it was full of despair and fear.

Judging from the content of the conversation, it is clear that the owner of this voice should be Serge.

"You also know that now that Modo City is completely closed, I can't go to sea to make money, and the only way to make money is cut off, it's really not that I deliberately default! You can rest assured, as soon as the dock is unsealed, I will go to sea immediately, and I will return the money as soon as I receive the deposit!

My lord, please give me another chance and give me some grace! ”

Serge's hoarse cry was almost tearful, and the feeling of sobbing could be faintly heard.

"We have given you enough time, this account is owed by you last month, during which you went to sea twice, and the commission earned could have paid off the interest, but who made you unbearable, and lost the money again, if it weren't for the past feelings, now you would have been swept out of the house and sleeping on the streets!"

The rough voice revealed a cold chill, and the tone was resolute, not giving Serge any room to negotiate at all.

At this moment, Serge was still trying to struggle, and kept pleading:

"It's my fault, sir, it's all my fault before, I will never again, please give me another chance!"

Speaking of this, Serge spoke very quickly, and added:

"This time the lockdown is very long, the business is better than before, I have contacted several old customers before, when to lift the lockdown and when to go to sea, they will pay me a deposit as soon as the lockdown is lifted!

As soon as I receive the deposit, I will definitely pay it back immediately, at least the interest.

Really, believe me, didn't someone else come to me just now, that is, my customer, discussing the matter of going to sea.

From this point, you can see that with my ability, I can make money very quickly, and I will never pay my debts!

But if you take my house away, then I'll be really homeless.

You don't want me to leave Modo City with a mess of bad debts, do you?

In that case, where are you going to find me? ”

"It's not easy to find you?"

Hearing this, the person who spoke first suddenly sneered and said contemptuously:

"Including the 66671 waterway, several nearby waterways and major gathering places have our eyeliner, and even pirates and bounty hunters are also watching our people, where else can you run?!"

Hearing this, Serge's heart suddenly became dead, and he continued to wail and beg for mercy.

At this time, Meng Lei and the others had already walked to the door of this private room.

In fact, after hearing the conversation inside the house, Meng Lei didn't particularly want to wade into this troubled water.

Serge, this guy is very smart.

Although the two parties have not yet met, they can easily judge through the current situation, time and environmental factors, and there is a high probability that the person who comes is their own customer.

Then, use this as a shield to fight for yourself the opportunity to postpone the repayment time.

I have to say that this trick is indeed very beautiful.

Because he can personally go to the casino to find his customers at this point in time, it must be urgent, as long as he relaxes a little, the two sides are likely to reach an agreement on the spot.

No matter how bad it is, it can also let the casino see its value, so as to relax the deadline and avoid the catastrophe in front of you.

Even if the person who came was not his client, then for Serge, no matter who he came, there would be no worse situation than now.

It was through this conversation just now that Meng Lei finally understood why the people in the casino would let him come over to meet Serge, and the reason was actually here.

For a while, Meng Lei was a little angry and funny, and he really wanted to turn around and leave like this, leaving Serge here alone.

However, the waiter had already walked to the door of the box at this moment, and knocked on the door.

In addition, it was not easy to find Serge, and Meng Lei did not want to miss it easily.

Although he didn't want to get too involved in the debt problem between Serge and the casino, so as not to burn himself.

But at the moment, there are more monks and less porridge, and Serge, as a guide, is more sought-after, and once he misses this opportunity, he is likely to pass by, find a new guide, and waste a lot of time.

Besides, if you don't hurt yourself, you can help Serge get through the current crisis.

Whether out of gratitude or other considerations, it is almost certain that he will discuss the matter of going to sea with Serge next.

Therefore, Meng Lei hesitated, but finally did not stop the waiter's move, and let him knock on the door.

He was going to go first to see if he could come up with a compromise plan.

If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to get out of it.

For an outsider like him, there will be no embarrassment in coming to the casino, after all, there is no entanglement of interests.

"Dongdong Dong~"

There was a knock on the door, and the conversation in the house suddenly stopped, and the two sides did not continue to argue.

A moment later, with a "clang", the closed metal door was opened.

In the midst of the smoke and the dense light, a sturdy figure was revealed in the room.

It was a bearded middle-aged man, with a pair of blue eyes, a face full of flesh, knotted muscles, a tall figure, and an extremely strong look, judging by the clothes on his body, he should be a casino thug.

"What's the matter?"

The man stared coldly at the waiter who bowed his head respectfully, and asked in an unkind tone.

"The person who reported to the chief just now has brought it to find Serge."

As he spoke, the waiter took a step back, turned sideways and let out Meng Lei and Huo Ye who were standing behind.

The bearded strong man stood motionless at the door, his gaze wandered, fell on Meng Lei's body, and looked around.

When he saw the harpoon in Meng Lei's hand and the machete pinned to Huo Ye's waist, the man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low tone:

"You can't bring guys here, and you can leave everything at the door."

When the words fell, he still looked at Meng Lei motionlessly, as if as long as Meng Lei did not drop the cold weapon in his hand, he would definitely not let him go.

Meng Lei looked back at the other party quietly, paused, showed a smile on his face, and nodded slightly:

"Okay."

Then, he casually leaned the harpoon against the corner of the wall, and then turned his head to Huo Ye and said:

"According to their rules, put the guy down, Jinli Casino is famous, it's safer here than outside."

Hearing this, Huo Ye and Hans finally nodded, and also dropped the cold weapon on their bodies.

Seeing that Meng Lei was so knowledgeable, he held the casino without a trace outside the words, although the middle-aged strong man was expressionless, but there was still a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Then, he took a step back, sideways out of the way, and raised his hand to signal:

"Alright, come in."

Meng Lei nodded, held his head high without humility or arrogance, and walked into the box.

The room was bright and spacious, and there was no other clutter, except for a table more than three meters long in the center of the hall, surrounded by a large number of chairs.

Looks like it's supposed to be a casino.

At this moment, there were only three or four figures in the room, except for the middle-aged strong man standing at the door, there were two other thugs standing on both sides of the hall, and the negative hand was standing in the corner.

In addition, there is a middle-aged man wearing a black leather jacket with hearty blonde hair, sitting on the edge of the gaming table, playing with a card in his hand, looking in the direction of the door with a smile.

And at the leg of the gaming table to the right of the blonde man, there was another person kneeling on the ground at this moment, with tears on his face and a look of pleading.

The first time he walked into the private room, Meng Lei swept his eyes, immediately judged the situation, and labeled everyone's identity in his heart.

Obviously, the blonde man sitting at the table with a playful face was undoubtedly the "manager" mentioned in the conversation just now.

And the guy who was kneeling on the ground with despair must be Serge.

Several people in the room have distinct personalities, and their demeanors and behaviors are very different, which is easy to judge.

"You're looking for Serge?"

After Meng Lei entered the house, the blonde man maintained his original lazy sitting posture and looked at Meng Lei with a smile.

"That's right, I don't know what your excellency calls it?"

Meng Lei smiled back and asked without being humble or arrogant.

"My name is Devitt, and I'm the night manager at the Ginley Casino." The blonde man introduced himself and asked, "What's your name, friend?" What's the matter with this guy Serge? ”

Meng Lei stepped forward, walked to the center of the brightly lit hall, and said with a smile:

"My name is Meng Lei, and I'm from Sil City."

After a pause, Meng Lei turned his gaze to Serge, who was stunned and kneeling motionless on the ground, and said:

"I'm here to find Serge, because the fleet needs a guide to the colony of Barona, Lord DeWitt, you also know Serge's ability, and other than that, he has no other value, and is worth my late night visit."

Meng Lei's tone was witty, and there was a hint of ridicule between his words.

It seems that he has a deep relationship with Serge, and he looks like an old friend.

Hearing this, the blonde man turned his head thoughtfully and glanced at Serge, and muttered with some surprise: "I didn't expect that your guy actually had a customer come to the door and found us, it's really surprising......"

At this time, in fact, Serge was completely confused, kneeling on the ground and looking at Meng Lei in a daze, his brain was blank.

He originally thought that the person who came to the casino late at night to find him might be a pirate group that he had cooperated with before, or a bounty fleet, who happened to be gambling at the Jinli Casino.

In fact, in the past two days, there have indeed been old customers who have contacted him and talked about this matter, but there is no conclusion between the two sides.

But what he never expected was that the young man in front of him wearing the captain's uniform would actually be a fresh face, but he showed a very familiar look.

He was suddenly puzzled, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

However, this guy's brain turned quite quickly, and he didn't poke it on the spot, but instead regarded Meng Lei as a life-saving straw, and echoed with tears:

"Boss, I'll just say that I didn't lie to you, it's really forced by the situation, it's not that I intend to repay the debt, I'm already trying to raise money, and when I finish this order, I'll send you the money immediately!"

In the face of Serge's plea, DeWitt was unmoved, just glanced at him vigorously, and then turned his gaze to Meng Lei, and said with a smile:

"Friend, you have seen the situation, Serge now owes us a lot of money in the casino, if you don't pay back the money, I'm afraid the cooperation between you will be in vain."

After a pause, he added:

"Unless, at your expense, ransom him ......"
