Chapter 191: Gambling

"I only gamble with my life, not with my money. O'Connor said.

In return for Evelyn's life, he fulfilled his promise to take her to the Tower of Hamna to face this dangerous place once again, even though he did not want to return there. Therefore, in the period before arriving, it is better to be vigilant and prepared for the various accidents that may occur in the future, rather than relaxing yourself with entertainment.

"Never?"

A card player dressed in dark clothes, looking up in disbelief, in this crazy era to survive, there are a lot of people who play with their lives, gambling money? For those who gamble on their lives, this is the best pastime to relax their tense nerves in addition to smoking and drinking. There has never been a man who said that he gambled his life and said that he did not gamble money. He believed that the person in front of him was no exception.

He continued: "Bet five hundred dollars and we will go to the Hamna Tower before you." ”

This was his real purpose, otherwise, he would not bother to talk to O'Connor. Obviously, he has full confidence in this bet and believes that he can win. Otherwise, he would not have offered to make such a bet, nor would he have made such a big bet at once.

However, the moment the dark-clad player said "Hamnata", O'Connor was alarmed.

Not many people escaped from that battle, not to mention that when he fled from Hamnata, he had seen a third party dressed in black watching him from afar. If you think about it, there may be fewer people who escaped from there and survived in the end than you imagined, or even maybe only you survived.

Under normal circumstances, no one should know about the actual location of the Hamna Tower, except for himself. How did this man who was in the same boat as him know how to get to Hamnata when he said "Hamnata Tower?" and most importantly, how did he know that he was going to Hamnata too?

"You're looking for Hamnata?"

O'Connor didn't immediately make a bet, but tried to see if he could come up with some useful information. As he spoke, he glanced at the three people who were playing cards with Jonathan, in addition to the one in dark clothes, there was also a blonde one and one with glasses. He secretly wrote down the appearance of these three people.

"That's right. The blonde man glanced at the man in deep clothes and smirked.

Realizing that the guy next to him was trying to slaughter a fat sheep before the treasure hunt and earn some extra money for his brothers, when O'Connor asked, he also got involved in the topic, covering up for the man in deep clothes, only giving a simple "yes", and a smile was hidden in his smugness.

"Who said we were going?"

O'Connor didn't give up easily, and he asked another question—how did the gang know that they, like them, were on their way to Hamnatar?

As soon as the words fell, the man in deep clothes and the man with eyes reached out to Jonathan at the same time. Rubbing the poker in his hand, the blonde man, who couldn't spare his hand for the time being, also raised his head and looked at Jonathan symbolically.

He said it. The three of them spoke in unison.

Casually, they easily threw out the bewildered Jonathan, the stupid guy who had been tempted by them intentionally or unintentionally, to reveal to them that his party was going to Hamnata as a shield.

"Hey, hey. Jonathan was slightly stunned, then he realized that something was wrong, he smiled, turned his head to look behind him and frowned, and was looking at his O'Connor with hidden annoyance, "How is it?"

He encouraged O'Connor and, like the other three at the table, he was confident that his side would win. Unlike the cautious O'Connor, he is obsessed with money, he doesn't care about it at all, and easily exposes the purpose of his group's treasure hunt, and is likely to cause trouble on the road.

"To bet or not?" said the man in deep clothes, his eyes full of anticipation, and he waited for the moment when O'Connor should make a bet.

Hearing this, the man with glasses couldn't help but raise his head and look at O'Connor, concerned about the latter's response. It's a windfall that comes easily, and he's a little enthusiastic.

"Bet on it. ”

O'Connor gradually showed a confident smile, and in the blink of an eye, he pulled himself out of his anger, now that the matter has been exposed, he should not do anything, he should make an appointment with this bet, anyway, he knows the way to Hamnata. For him, he should make this bet and not suffer at all. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be able to make some extra money. After all, he is also a keen adventurer, otherwise he would not have accompanied the troops to the legendary and ethereal treasure of Hamnata.

At the same time, the man in the dark coat who made the bet also showed a smug smile, thinking that he had taken the bait, and he should have begun to imagine the scene of O'Connor reluctantly delivering the money to him.

"Why are you so sure?"

Talking was a man in a small red square hat at the table next to him, holding an ancient Egyptian reference book in his left hand and an Arabic hookah cigarette holder in his right hand. It was clear that he was in the same league as the three people at the table.

"Why are you?"

Seeing the little square hat glaring at him, O'Connor glared back, not to be outdone. He didn't answer the rhetorical question, but took the opportunity to raise the doubts in his heart again. This time, seeing that he had already made a bet, there should be no need for them to hide it anymore, how did they know the way to Hamna Tower, he thought.

"We had people who had been there to lead the way. ”

The blonde man smiled smugly and explained the truth in a simple sentence. In his opinion, even if O'Connor knew that it was useless now, the bet he should make could not be reversed, and the five hundred yuan was considered stable. There was no need for him to hide it, so he casually said it.

"What a coincidence, because of the European ......"

Jonathan followed closely as he spoke, and he was about to stop confessing to himself, when O'Connor immediately made a seemingly unintentional throw, hitting him in the head, interrupting him in the middle of his speech. O'Connor cleared his throat slightly, and at the same time took the opportunity to carry the bag in his hand on his back, everything was done without leakage, without any deliberate traces.

Sure enough, the others didn't realize his actual intentions, and continued to focus on what was in front of them, either looking at the cards or the books. At the same time, Jonathan finally came back to his senses and immediately changed the subject, not mentioning what he had just said.

"Whose turn? Is it my turn?" Jonathan disguised.

"Guys, that's it. O'Connor glanced at the table one last time, and before leaving, he put a hand on Jonathan's shoulder, "Good night, Jonathan." He gritted his teeth and pronounced the name.

As he spoke, he squeezed his hand slightly, making a gurgling sound, which made Jonathan grin for a while, and then had to pretend to be calm. He was using this to hint at his dissatisfaction and warning. Tell someone that your group is going to Hamna Tower, and then tell others that your group knows the true location of the treasure land as well as they do, it would be fatal.

You must know that for the same pile of treasures, if others take a little more, you will have a little less. Even if he accepted Evelyn's request to take her to Hamnata not for the treasure, but to repay Evelyn for saving her life. However, others will not think so, but if you learn on the road that someone else will share the treasure with your side, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not have bad intentions halfway.

After many years of military life, O'Connor has seen a lot of extreme environments, and he has also seen more of the changes in people's hearts catalyzed by the environment. He knows human nature well and never easily vouches for the character of others. Hamnata is a dangerous place, and if there is anything more to do on the road, he will really be busy.

O'Connor's obvious move only slightly woke up Jonathan. He forced a smile and waved his hand at O'Connor's departing back.

"Good night. He pretended to shout.

The play has to be played in a full set, and he has to endure the pain, even if he is bitter in his heart, he must put on a peaceful face, and he can't let others see the strangeness.

In the distance, the young man shook his head with a smile, and there was no smoke on the card table, which made him secretly arrogant. However, his attention soon turned to the bottom of the boat, where a small boat had already been attached. At this time, the group of people at the table in front of them, who didn't know that they were about to come to a catastrophe, were still secretly exchanging how to pry a way out of the young man's mouth. Seeing the young man looking up at him with a smile, they also smirked for a while.

Ignoring the group, the young man turned his head to look at the other side of the ship, and his infrared vision passed through the cabin in the middle of the hull that only blocked the ordinary view, and easily saw a table on the side deck of the opposite ship. There, a beautiful woman named Evelyn, wearing a pair of glasses, was reading intently at a book.

"Bang!"

A large piece of heavy leather bag suddenly fell on the table, causing Evelyn to shudder and scream. On the side, O'Connor, who had just thrown down his leather bag, saw Evelyn looking at him in shock, he raised his eyebrows and twitched his chin, showing an embarrassed look, and his smile was sincere from the heart.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. As he spoke, he took off his coat, revealing the cowhide strap on his shirt and the holster on his belt.

"The only thing that scares me is your politeness. ”

She scrambled around and complained about O'Connor about the rude kiss she had earlier, and glanced up and down at his figure without a trace, and a little love and hate began to appear in her heart.

"Still angry that I kissed you?"

O'Connor smiled a little awkwardly as he rested his coat on the vacant chair across from Evelyn.

"How can that count as a kiss?"

Evelyn complained again, but it didn't mean much. O'Connor realized, but did not recklessly reveal the little girl's thoughts. He only smiled, turned to a serious face, reached out and pushed, spread out his purse, and sat down in the chair with his coat on it. Evelyn looked surprised and removed her glasses, closed her book, and looked at her spread bag. It was full of guns and ammunition.

"Am I mistaken?" she said hesitantly, "and we...... Are you going to war?"
