A dazzling crystal chandelier hangs low in the center of the hall.

A glittering light was sprinkled on DeWitt, who seemed to be smiling, and at the collar of the black jacket, the emblem symbolizing the Moken family shone brightly, showing off to the fullest.

As the pillar industry of Modo City, the person in charge behind Jinli Casino is not surprisingly an important member of the Moken family.

This kind of business is something that outsiders can't interfere with at all.

Even if due to the particularity of Modo City's geographical location, the alliance turns a blind eye and acquiesces or even secretly supports the existence of this gray industry, but the Moken family has been operating in Modo City for so many years, and they will not let the people of the alliance manage a place like a casino.

And as the night manager of Jinli Casino, DeWitt is definitely the right-hand man of the boss behind the scenes.

Therefore, his status as a member of the Moken family is also a matter of course.

Caressing the delicate family emblem on the collar, DeWitt looked at Meng Lei with a hint of playfulness in his eyes and put forward a condition.

If you want to take someone away, you can, no problem.

Then before that, Meng Lei must settle all the bad debts owed by Serge and take people away by ransom.

Otherwise, Serge would not have been able to take half a step out of this room.

This is the condition put forward by De Witt, and his attitude is resolute, and it seems that there is no possibility of bargaining.

In fact, the reason why in the process of forcing Serge to repay the money, let Meng Lei and his party come over, DeWitt also hit Meng Lei and them with his idea early on.

He knows the details of Serge very well, even if he turns out this guy's old bottom, it is impossible to find a penny in the account.

In the end, he could only use the fixed assets left by his father to mortgage to repay his debts.

Behind the Jinli Casino stands the Moken family, the head snake of Modo City, and even replaced the official of the alliance, the ownership of all assets in the city, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of one sentence, and it is easy to collect a house.

However, Serge is also a regular customer of Jinli Casino after all, and his usual income is quite stable.

Although it is not a big customer, it is also a young cash cow after all, and it can make money continuously, and it is impossible for DeWitt to really take away Serge's house.

In comparison, the long-term income of the casino is undoubtedly higher if he has been hanging with arrears.

The reason why DeWitt made the threat just now was actually just to scare and scare Seqi and put some pressure on him, and he didn't really want to use his real estate to pay off his debts.

But what DeWitt didn't expect was that someone actually sent it to the door at this time, and it was still a customer of Serge.

As a professional loan shark, if you don't squeeze some oil and water out of this wronged boss, it is really a bit too much, and I am sorry for my identity and reputation!

Therefore, after learning that someone was visiting, DeWitt readily agreed.

and prescribed the right medicine, and saw that Meng Lei was in a hurry to find Serge, so he proposed the conditions just now to Meng Lei.

In DeWitt's view, whether the other party will eventually agree or not, he will have nothing to lose anyway.

Hearing this, looking at the blonde DeWitt's leisurely and playful expression, Meng Lei smiled silently.

Before entering the door, after hearing the conversation in the house, he knew that the casino would definitely not let people go easily.

If you want to take Serge away, you can't do it without some blood.

For this, Meng Lei has long been mentally prepared.

However, it's okay to pay for it, but there has to be a limit, and if you want him to pay off all the arrears, it's not negotiable.

Meng Lei's bottom line is very clear,

At present, the cost of a guide in Modo City is 3,000 marks, and this price will fluctuate with the current situation in the nearby seas, and generally speaking, the difference will not exceed 2,000 marks.

Sometimes, when the resources of guides in the city are tight, several ships team up to hire a guide, which may cost a little more, but it will not be too different.

Based on the current situation in Modo City, combined with his own current situation, Meng Lei's psychological price is 8,000 marks, and it will never be higher.

If DeWitt asks him to pay for ransom, then Meng Lei will only pay this price at most.

If you can do it, go back and deduct it directly from the guide fee, and rescue Serge first.

If he really can't do it, he won't be this big wrongdoer, and forcibly come out for a stranger, not only does the gain outweigh the loss, but there is really no need for that.

In the entire city of Modo, there is not only one guide for Serge, but it is a big deal to change someone.

"It's not impossible to redeem people......

After a while, Meng Lei took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, gently exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at De Witt with a smile on his face.

As soon as these words came out, De Witt's eyes flickered, and there was a trace of fluctuation in his eyes, and a flash of surprise flashed.

He didn't seem to expect that Meng Lei would be so happy and directly agreed to his conditions, which made him a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what Meng Lei meant.

It's just a business partner, and Serge has no value at all other than the role of a pilot.

Why would the other party pay such a big price and insist on ransom Serge?

Could it be, what's so greasy in this?

On the other hand, Serge would be completely stupid, and with his brain, he was also a little confused at the moment.

"What's the situation? He agreed? He actually agreed?! ”

Serge was full of doubts, staring at several large question marks in his head, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

He was completely sure that the young captain in front of him, who was much younger than him, had never dealt with him before, and had not even seen him.

But the other party not only visited late at night, but even found the casino, and now he is willing to pay out of his own pocket to help him settle the account.

It's like a fantasy, and it makes Serge feel unreal, and he can't figure out why.

Even if there is an urgent matter to find him to go to sea, he will not do this, right?

Besides, now that Modo City is completely closed, the other party is willing to spend money to help him redeem himself, but he can't set sail?

What the hell is going on?

Just when the two of them were confused, completely confused, and secretly figured out Meng Lei's true intentions.

Meng Lei changed his words, and then said:

"But ......"

"But what?"

Devit looked at Meng Lei with a puzzled expression, the playfulness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a deep curiosity.

Serge also looked up in Meng Lei's direction at the same time, with a complicated expression, waiting for the following.

"But before that, Mr. DeWitt, I want to know how much Serge owes you a lot? Also, how much money do I have to pay to ransom him? ”

Meng Lei asked knowingly, mainly to test the other party's attitude.

Hearing this, DeWitt smiled slightly, opened his mouth and said:

"Serge owes a total of 50,000 marks to us with interest, and it has been delayed for more than a month, and if you want to redeem someone, you will naturally have to pay off the money for him."

"That's ......"

Meng Lei lengthened his tone and nodded thoughtfully, his expression did not change much, he still looked light, it seemed that the price of 50,000 marks was nothing at all.

However, he was a little guilty in his heart.

The other party really wanted him to pay the full amount, and there was no intention of negotiating, so in this case, I am afraid that he would not be able to take Serge away smoothly today.

To be honest, 50,000 marks is indeed not much in Meng Lei's opinion.

Every expense he has incurred in the near future is often hundreds of thousands, and in order to arm the fleet, he even threw away nearly a million in one go before going to sea this time!

It's only 50,000, it's like saying that it's gone.

But the point is, it's not worth the money!

Moreover, it is true that he can't even take out 50,000 marks in his current account, and the money for repairing the ship is not enough, how can he spend so much to ransom people?

At this time, Huo Ye seemed to feel that DeWitt's conditions were a little too much, and sneered:

"Is this guy worth fifty thousand? We paid a tenth of the price, and we didn't know how many guides were squeezed to board the ship, so why spend so much money to ransom him? ”

Meng Lei didn't say anything when he heard this, and looked at De Witt with a calm face, the meaning was obvious, Huo Ye's words represented his thoughts.

"Hehe, if you don't have 50,000 yuan, then we don't have to talk, please go back."

DeWitt played with the cards in his hand, stepped forward, and made a gesture of please.

Before, he thought that Meng Lei would pay the money happily, but he was puzzled for a while, but he didn't expect that he guessed wrong.

The other party may indeed have the intention of ransom, but apparently did not intend to pay the full amount.

It's just a matter of collecting some small profits, and Devitt feels that there is no need to waste time here.

At this time, looking at De Witt who was getting closer and closer, Meng Lei's gaze inadvertently fell on the cards played in the other party's hand.

At first, he didn't have much thought, but in the next second, his eyes lit up.

A line of golden text slowly emerged, twisted and wriggled in the void, slowly transforming into shape.

(An ordinary playing card, often used in gambling entertainment, has the number '3'.) ）

The upgraded Goldfinger can give hints to almost any item, even cards.

And the most surprising thing for Meng Lei was that he didn't see the card, but the gold finger took the initiative to expose the numbers on the card.

This discovery made Meng Lei's heart happy, and his breathing became a little short.

In a place like a casino, Goldfinger is simply invincible, even if the other party is out of the blue, he can see through it at a glance, and there is nothing to hide from any little tricks.

With this ability, he can realize the possibility of becoming rich overnight!

What is the purpose of wasting so much energy before, and even experiencing nine deaths and a lifetime, sailing thousands of kilometers in the infinite darkness of the deep sea?

Isn't it just to make money and fund the expansion and development of the fleet?

There is a golden finger, how can you use so much trouble, go to the major casinos and go around the world, you will have everything, directly achieve financial freedom, and sell what worm eggs!

Gambling, that's the right thing to use for goldfingers!

As soon as he thought of this, Meng Lei's heart couldn't stop beating wildly, his whole body was hot and excited.

But he still calmly kept his sanity, his expression was immobile on the surface, and the waves in his heart were surging.

A bold thought took shape in his mind, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked upward, and it seemed that he would not go home empty-handed tonight.

"Lord DeWitt, don't be in such a hurry."

Meng Lei held a cigarette and looked at the blonde man in front of him with a smile, his hands in his pockets, looking calm and calm.

"What, changed your mind?"

Devit also looked playful, looked at Meng Lei with a smile, and said:

"If you want to bargain, then please excuse yourself, the ransom of 50,000 marks, not a single child is missing, this matter is not negotiable.

Either pay the money with one hand and hand it over with the other, or please leave here.

Of course, if you want to go to the second floor to consume, I will naturally warmly welcome you. ”

Meng Lei shook his head again and again, smiled and waved his hand:

"Your Excellency DeWitt, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to bargain."

"And what else do you do?"

DeWitt's face gradually became gloomy, and he lost his patience a little, and he didn't want to fight with the person in front of him anymore, it was meaningless.

Meng Lei took a puff of cigarette, inhaled it deeply, and came out of his nostrils.

Under the smoke, the delicate face was obscured, and the expression on the face could not be seen clearly, only the clear voice sounded again.

"Your Excellency DeWitt, since you are here to open a casino, how about we gamble?"

Hearing this, DeWitt's eyes lit up.

Looking through the smoke that gradually drifted away, he looked at Meng Lei with a touch of curiosity in surprise and asked:

"How do you want to bet? What is the stake? ”

Meng Lei smiled slightly and said:

"The bet is simple, if I win, the arrears between Serge and the casino will be written off, and I will take the people away, and we will both settle them."

"And what if you lose?"

The black-on-gold-rimmed cards swirled around his fingertips, and DeWitt stared at it with interest, expecting to hear an answer that would pique his interest.

"If I lose......"

Meng Lei stretched out his tone, deliberately causing suspense, and after muttering for two seconds, he continued:

"If I lose, I will not only settle Serge's arrears, but then take out another 50,000 as a bet and pay a total of 100,000 marks to the casino in one lump sum."

Hearing this, Devit immediately became interested, looked at Meng Lei with bright eyes, and said suspiciously:

"Are you sure?! For the sake of Serge, you have to make such a big bet?! ”

Meng Lei smiled and nodded, and said seriously:

"Sure!"

At this time, without waiting for Devit to speak, Huo Ye and Hans were suddenly shocked.

They never expected that Meng Lei would play so big, and he hadn't mentioned it to them before, so the two of them didn't even have a psychological preparation.

"Commander, don't go up?! 100,000 marks is not a decimal number, if we really lose, we don't even have the money to repair the ship! ”

"Yes, Captain, don't be impulsive, Serge is not the only guide in the city, we can find it again tomorrow, there is no need to take this risk!"

The two sang and harmonized, and tried their best to dissuade them.

However, Meng Lei waved his hand disapprovingly, as if he was determined to bet on this, looked directly at DeWitt who was full of expectation, and said in a deep voice:

"What do you think, Lord DeWitt?"
