The dealer, as he had done before, began to check the authenticity of the banknotes. This is not a difficult thing to do, because the banknotes are so beautifully made that the counterfeit ones can be easily seen through. In fact, it is not known exactly how these banknotes were printed. The only thing people know is that the banknotes also came from the South.

On the previous occasions, the dealer's inspection was swift. He just took a few random photos to look at. But this time, the dealer checked it very carefully, and he not only carefully looked through the bills that Ashrufat had taken out, but also checked all the money he had put on before. His serious and obsessive attitude would be insulting if it was really investigated.

But in the end, he put the money back in despair.

"No problem. The dealer announced. His eyes looked at Ashrufat's pocket—he had just shoved the other bills back—and then at the pale, wolf-eyed man. The latter had already sat back, his face was pale, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

The two opponents looked at each other. The wolf-eyed man suddenly realized that he had been being played with by the other party, and this matter was a conspiracy from head to toe! This Ashrufat had a few thousand gold Ollie hidden on him to gamble. And he also used this insidious conservative attitude to play with him, deceiving him to increase the wound again and again. Now he's completely finished!

"Do you want to raise?" Ashrufat asked, looking at the other with a very innocent expression.

The wolf-eyed man's eyes narrowed, revealing the gaze of a hungry wolf about to pounce on its prey. His hand made a swift movement in the air, a signal to his companion.

Ashrufat leaned back, and in an instant, he turned one hundred and eighty degrees with his chair, and just touched the thugs who rushed up. At this moment, his movements were indescribably swift, and in the blink of an eye, he had already grabbed the first thug, grabbing the opponent's neckline and lifting him in the air with the force of one arm. Then he threw it hard at the far wall. The man flew straight past like a leather bag, slumped to the ground with a dull thud.

The leader was so ended, and the remaining few people were not only stunned. Then they saw Ashruphat looking at them with a cruel and cold expression.

It must be said that these thugs are very good, because their first instinct is not to run away, but to reach for their weapons.

However, it was not a good choice to hold a weapon in front of the enemy, and Ashrufat slashed a knife into the neck of a fellow, and the latter fell headlong. The third had just pulled out his dagger when a ferocious blow landed on his chest and abdomen. The punch almost knocked out all his internal organs - only to see the thug arch his body like a shrimp, then his knees went limp, and he fell to his knees while vomiting in his mouth, unable to move again.

These rabbits rise and fall, and they are extremely neat. Ashrufat turned his head and found that both the dealer and the wolf-eyed man were stunned. And the surrounding audience avoided it. Because the movement was too fast just now, the people on the side were not affected at all.

"If you don't raise, I'll raise. He reached for some bills. "Plus twenty Kioli. Are you still raising?"

This time, he could no longer see the dazed and innocent disguised before. Those present, especially the wolf-eyed man and the dealer closest to him, all felt a suffocating momentum.

This is not derived from Ashrufat's expression. Because Ashrufat's expression was very calm at this time, neither distorted by anger nor uncontrollable by excitement. But it was this expression, combined with his movements, his gaze, that made him so terrifying in an instant. The dealer's body stiffened as he saw in the eyes of the man named Ashrufat an essence that did not belong to humanity. The gaze in his eyes was not a madness full of frenzy, killing, and gore, but something cold, cruel, and creepy, that seemed to skip the rational part of the mind and hook up the deep fears of humanity. It's like when a person walks in a dark mountain forest and sees a pair of glowing eyes that suddenly appear in the darkness - at this time, man does not need to see the body of a predator or its minions clearly, he does not need these direct evidence, he only relies on the instinct of the heart to understand that he is facing a danger that cannot be overcome by his own strength. Although the wolf-eyed man is a thorough ruffian, one of the most insane and debauched criminals, the instinctive fear of humanity prevails over all. He met Eshurufat's gaze and shook his head mechanically in extreme fear.

"Then I won, right?" said Ashrufat, turning his head toward the dealer. The feeling he had just felt suddenly disappeared, and he returned to his original harmless appearance. Of course, the immobile thugs on the ground proved that this was a disguise.

"That's right, you won. "The dealer actually felt chills in his back. Fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with him at all, because he was not given the opportunity to cheat at all, and no one can blame him. If the boss comes back, he only needs to report the specific process in detail. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the wolf-eyed man, whose face had turned to ashes, and his eyes were looking blankly ahead, like the kind of dying man who had lost the will to live.

"Good. Eshurufat unceremoniously scrambled the money on the table towards him. "Oh, by the way, please return my IOU, I'm going to pay it back immediately. By the way, give me a big money bag. ”

Ashrufat looked back and found Gray in the crowd. The latter, whose face turned blue, stood motionless in the crowd. However, when he noticed Ashrufat looking at him, Gray secretly moved backwards and quickly disappeared.

The matter of the casino procrastinating for a long time to take the IOU, and after a considerable period of time, someone took the IOU that Ashrufat had signed earlier, and took the corresponding gold coins from his booty. Rao was like this, and the remaining gold and silver coins were still stuffed into a large bag full of money.

"Everyone. "While Ashrufat was packing up his loot, a few people suddenly walked in from outside. The leader was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, about fifty years old, and kind eyebrows.

"Everyone, I'm sorry that the casino had to be temporarily closed due to some urgency. The man announced loudly. "I would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. As compensation, I'd like to ask everyone for a free drink at the tavern next door. ”

As the guests complained and left, Ashruphat followed suit. He passed by the man, but the man just looked at him and didn't move.

After the last guest left, the door to that room was shut. But before the door could close, Ashrufat heard a voice leaking through the crack in the door.

"I heard you've embezzled my coffers. It was the middle-aged man's voice, gentle and calm. But before Aehurufat could walk out of the casino door, he heard another voice ringing from the room.

It was a terrible scream.

......

Gray returned to his office in three steps. The first thing he did when he sat down was to pour himself a large glass of water and drink it all.

Today's events are unexpected. Even Lyle didn't expect this situation. In fact, Lyle's idea sounded good—all bad ideas seemed like a good idea until they turned out to be bad—and that was to find a way to make Ashrufat incur a good gambling debt. In that case, his marriage would be in jeopardy. With the personality of the Countess Marianne, it is difficult to imagine that she would be able to accept such a ruined niece and son-in-law and let him come to the door with a debt. Even better, the debt is ostensibly a temporary loan that can be repaid in one day without incurring additional costs, but as long as the debtor fails to repay the money on the same day, the debt will immediately become a windfall loan that is more usurious than the loan shark. Soon it will swell to an astronomical amount that no one can repay. As long as Ashrufat concealed it for a while, which was bound to happen in the original plan, then there was no suspense about what was going on.

And this marriage was originally a temporary agreement, and as long as the Witnesses, Countess Marianne, objected, then it was self-evident what was going to happen next.

But things seem to be a little out of control. Ashrufat was not a "poor, lowly" mercenary, as Lyle put it, but a rich man. Not to mention anything else, today he really found out at least 2,000 gold Oli. With this level of property, even the squires and nobles would be blushing.

No wonder the Countess Marianne would agree to the marriage.

That Ashrufat...... I must have seen the whole thing. Gray remembered how Ashruphat had knocked down three men at once. The mercenary-born man is really ruthless enough to fight. If he comes to himself for revenge......

Gray felt a little scared. He drank another glass of water, and after he had calmed down, he remembered that he didn't need to be so afraid. After all, this is a city, and there is a sheriff in charge. It didn't matter if Ashrufat wanted to get revenge on him, he just had to go out and be careful. Besides, in fact, no matter what the final result is, he would have offended Ashrufat in the first place. And he had already figured it out.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside. Gray subconsciously called "Come in".

Ashruphat walked in from outside. Because of his weak heart, Gray jumped up from his seat at once.

"You...... You...... What are you doing here?" he was tempted to say, "I'll call the patrol soon," but the phrase only rolled in his throat, never coming out. Now he realized that he didn't have much courage, and even if he had been aware of the situation beforehand, his knees were still a little weak.

Everyone knows that mercenaries are engaged in the business of licking blood with knives. No one knows what will happen if Lu Dao annoys this outlaw.

"Gray, why did you leave alone?" said Ashrufat calmly. "I packed my things and looked for you, but I didn't find them. ”

"I'm ......," Gray calmed down. Decades of rolling in shopping malls have allowed him to develop a good ability to observe words and colors. Needless to say, Ashrufat had already understood that this matter was a conspiracy, but he in turn took this opportunity to make a lot of money.

But now Ashruphat looks ignorant, which shows that Ashrufat doesn't want to turn his face with him. This is a form of lying, through which Ashruphat tacitly expresses his willingness to take a step back, not to blame the past, and to keep the past relationship intact. At the end of the day, Gray is just a clown to be used and used.

"Sorry...... Person...... There are too many people...... I can't find you...... I had to come back. Gray said.
