The time unconsciously came to the next evening, and at this time, the captain invited all the passengers of the VIP cabin to a banquet, and the address of the dinner was the lobby on the first floor.

Locke had joined Ashley and the others as they came to the hall, the music had already begun, and some of the thin, wrinkled captains had made a few warm-up speeches, and then Mr. Canton, the main character, had spoken with champagne.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of myself, and for the captain of the ship, Mr. Atherton, I warmly welcome you to the inaugural voyage of the Argo.

All the staff on this cruise ship have one goal in mind, and that is to make your dream trip come true.

For myself, I have only one dream in this life, and that is to build a superlative, extravagant, and expensive luxury cruise ship in the world.

Just tonight, I saw everyone, so beautiful, so elegant, so rich...... I realized that my dream had come true and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart to everyone for making my dream come true!

For the Argo, good times live forever! ”

Finally, Mr. Canton raised his glass and had a drink with all the VIP passengers of the luxury suite, and the banquet officially began.

As the music began, the stage began to give way to the dancers who were in charge of the performances, and the waiters, who had already been prepared, served the passengers with exquisite meals and drinks.

There were people who talked and laughed and enjoyed the cheerful atmosphere, during which Peggy also called, expressing envy for Locke and the others, and after a few words, Hermione snatched the phone and talked about the interesting things on the ship.

Looking at the joyful atmosphere on the field, Locke looked at the time, estimating that Mr. Canton would be about to start the operation soon, and he had no intention of stopping Lorraine's plan, only planning to play the role of being 'kidnapped'.

Of course, he also explained to Ashley and them in advance, asking them not to leave his side for a long time tonight, as long as they don't run blindly, there is no danger.

Not to mention that Lorraine is his own person, even if there are really hundreds of robbers, it is only a small scene for Locke, so he is quite calm.

At this time, a well-known female singer invited by the captain took the stage to sing, and Hermione finally ended her communication with Peggy, hung up the satellite phone, and handed it back to Locke.

It was at this moment that a strange noise came, causing Locke to frown, and then began to look around.

The sound of the hall was very noisy, the sound of various cups and saucers colliding, the sound of background music, and the sound of people talking one after another, but the sound just now seemed extremely strange.

It was still raining outside, and the open-air facilities on the deck had been temporarily closed, but it was clearly not a rain sound.

And the sound still seems to be coming from below, which makes Locke look at his feet, most of the cabins below are staff, or Mr. Canton has already started to act, but the cruise ship's main control computer is not in the cabin below!

Something was wrong with my gut feeling, but observing the entire cruise ship with a mind scan, there was nothing special to discover.

"Hazard Detection." After thinking about it, Locke cast a spell, but found nothing, and the danger detection could detect the existence of something threatening to Locke, but after casting it, he still found nothing, and no dangerous people or objects were found.

Just then, I saw Leonard running over with a stack of chips in his hand.

"Have you figured out how much you're going to win today?" Locke joked directly.

"As a professional gambler, winning money is my goal, but it's not a good habit to start imagining before it happens." Leonard laughed.

"In the rich circle, people who are familiar with me will not take the initiative to gamble with me, now that I have met a fat sheep, then I have to take care of it, and you will cooperate with me for a while, and your benefits are indispensable." Locke shrugged his shoulders.

Since the danger detection did not find any special danger, it means that even if there is any situation, the threat to Locke is not great, and he has not been holding on to that strange voice, no matter what it is, wait until it appears.

Now, it is more important to slaughter the fat sheep first, and after two hours, when the appointed time is up, the people of Lorraine will start to act, and there will be no chance.

In front of the prepared gaming table, Locke saw Carrot Youying and two other gamblers, a total of five people, but except for Leonard, the other people all had a female companion by their side, and they all gathered in front of a coffee table next to them to drink tea and chat.

Pulling out the seat, Locke's gaze swept over the chips in front of the three of them from Carrot Youying, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that I have the least chips." ”

"There's no hurry, it's too late to change or write a check in a while," said an old man in his fifties, sitting next to Carrot Youying.

"Then it depends on the next situation, whether I need to write a check on the spot to change chips, let's get started." Locke was able to recognize the other party as Joel, a shareholder of the oil company, and it seemed that he had a relationship with Carlot.

He doesn't have any polite thoughts, and in the face of these old foxes who eat people and don't spit out bones, if they are too polite, they will only make them look down on them, which is also Locke's own experience.

On the other side, Ashley and the others also came to sit down with their female companions, and everyone introduced each other, and Ashley, who had been trained as Locke's personal assistant in the past two years, was generous and dealt with fluently.

Caroline is also very familiar with such occasions, but Fleur and Hermione are rarely exposed to such scenes, but they are only not very familiar with the rules here, and they are not cramped at all, after all, even real queens and princesses have been seen in the fairy tale world.

……

"Mr. Joel, two pairs!"

"Mr. Locke, Junko!"

"Mr. Locke wins!"

After the final hole cards were opened, the dealer reported the win or loss, and pushed all the chips in front of Locke, who said with a smile on his face:

"Thanks to Mr. Joel for his help, so I shouldn't have to change my chips."

There are some pity to look at Carrot You Ying, this guy's hole cards are too bad, so he gave up early, and this one basically didn't lose anything.

Leonard on the side looked at Locke's gains, and couldn't help but have some heat in his eyes, no wonder even those old gamblers who have earned enough money to retire dream of encountering such a 'dream gamble', the money is really fast.

Especially when he and Locke cooperated so roughly, they didn't notice it at all, and they were all here to pick up money.

got two pairs, and actually directly bet 500,000, which is a high-quality big fat sheep.

In fact, 500,000 yuan is really just a little pocket money for these people sitting at the table, and they don't care about the bets, because of Locke's ridicule, they can't help but let out a friendly smile.

Even Joel, who lost money, laughed twice: "No way, there are not many opportunities to play cards with Locke, and it wouldn't be good if you were out all of a sudden." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Joel, for your generosity." Locke smiled and looked at Carrot You Ying: "How is Mr. You Ying's luck this time, he shouldn't continue to fold directly, right?" ”

"Of course not this time." "It's just that I think it's better for you to change a little more chips now, a million." ”

As he spoke, Carrot Youying threw a million chips on the table, and then looked at Locke: "What, do you want to fold?" ”

"Of course I'm not going to fold, I just sigh that Mr. You Ying is really a good person, although his mouth is a little ugly, but this is in a hurry to send me money!"

"Are you so sure? I see you haven't looked at your hole cards yet. ”

"I believe that Lady Luck has always been on my side." Locke shrugged his shoulders and threw out a million chips.

"If you're too confident, it won't look good if you lose for a while."

"Then you have to lose."

Locke smiled and looked at Carrot Youying, "Lady luck has never left me since I learned to play. ”

"In that case......" Carlott Youying opened his hole cards.

"Mr. You Ying, three of a kind!"

"Mr. Locke, Junko!"

"Mr. Locke wins."

Locke watched the dealer push the chips in front of him and said with a smile, "You see, Lady Luck is on my side." ”
