Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 555

[Chapter 552 I, David, also have moral integrity]

KING Gourd; four QUEENs; straight flush.

David’s tablemates changed one after another, and the chips in front of him kept increasing.

Several women were very happy to see this, even Cheng Xiaoxi was so happy that her teeth were clenched, as if winning money had nothing to do with her.

Chen Xiaodao, who was standing next to him, finally realized that David was just playing around before, and now he showed his real skills.

However, Daozi didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, and felt that this game of cards had become interesting, and he met an interesting opponent.

It was not until the straight flush in his hand turned into a bad card that he realized that he didn’t meet an opponent, but kicked a brick.

“I didn’t expect to be wrong.” Chen Xiaodao wanted to compete with David, but Long Jiu patted his shoulder and shook his head at him.

Realizing that the person next to him seemed to be someone who could not be offended casually, and that he had things to do, Chen Xiaodao decided to stop.

Although he lost a few tens of thousands of yuan, the loss was not serious.

“Let’s compete again at the poker tournament in a few days. I’m leaving first.” After putting away the chips in front of him, Chen Xiaodao said hello to David and left the table decisively.

Then he took Long Jiu all the way to the bar, ordered a drink and asked in a low voice: “Who is that David?”

“The owner of the Wanshiwu, he has a good relationship with the police, and the detailed background is unclear.” Long Jiu had several guesses in his mind, but no matter which of these guesses, he couldn’t tell others casually.

It’s okay if he guessed wrong, but it would be troublesome if he guessed right.

“Wanshiwu?”

“It is said that it is a company that accepts any commissioned work, as long as it can make the other party interested, even if it is a job like finding a cat or a dog.”

“Does it mean that you can do anything for money?”

“He is not short of money.”

“That means he only takes it for fun.” Chen Xiaodao laughed: “He seems to be a very interesting guy.”

Ordinary people will never open a company just for fun. Even if they really open a company, they may not have the ability to handle all kinds of strange commissions.

So this person is not only not short of money, but also very capable. The fact that the other party can be on good terms with the police proves this point-just now, his trump card was changed, I don’t know if it was a trick or a special ability?

After learning the art of cheating from his master, Chen Xiaodao knew that the world was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There were countless strange people in the world, and many people had magical powers. His master reminded him more than once that when he met a strange opponent in the future, he must be careful and careful, and not to show all his cards before he knew the other party’s details.

“By the way, do you know why he appeared here?”

Since he was a person who did that kind of work, did he receive some kind of commission to board the Fugui Maru?

“A coincidence.”

Chen Xiaodao looked at Long Jiu, who was expressionless and maintained an icy face, and guessed that Long Jiu must know the inside story, but she was unwilling to tell him.

If she didn’t want to say it, then forget it. Chen Xiaodao’s mind turned and thought of another point: “If I want to hire him to help us deal with the guy who pretended to be me, do you think he would agree?”

Long Jiu really didn’t think about it. She knew that David came to Fugui Maru because the police investigated terrorists, and she also knew that David’s Yorozuya was willing to accept any commission.

But she never thought of hiring David for help.

Inertial thinking, she always thought that only she and her brother Long Wu knew the true identity of Chen Xiaodao, the gambling hero, and that only the political department knew about the investigation of the fake gambling hero who was raising money in the name of charity – now Cheng Xiaodong had to be added.

“I don’t know if he will agree. I just know that he wants to enjoy this trip and doesn’t want to be disturbed.”

“Is that so… Never mind, let’s try it first.”

Chen Xiaodao drank the drinks he had just ordered, and walked to the card table with Long Jiu, only to find that David had left. After

walking around the casino, no one was seen.

“Oh, I don’t know where he went.”

Although the Fugui Maru cruise ship was not very big as complained by Sophia, it was still difficult to find someone without knowing which room he was staying in.

It was Long Jiu who told Chen Xiaodao that he could ask David’s room number, and Chen Xiaodao was not so depressed.

At this time, David was having dinner with Sophia, Cheng Le’er, and the three sisters of the Cheng family.

While eating, Cheng Xiaoxi was vividly describing the scene of David killing and killing at the card table with her two sisters.

“David won three hundred thousand dollars with one thousand dollars.”

This is because he played for a short time and the stakes were not high. If David had played for a while longer, he might have won three million dollars in one go and qualified to participate in the charity poker tournament;

of course, it is also possible that no one would be willing to play with David.

“So amazing?” Cheng Xiaonan has never been interested in gambling, and she doesn’t appreciate people who like gambling, but she also feels amazing sitting at the same table with a person who can win hundreds of thousands of dollars with a thousand dollars at the poker table. She

looked at David curiously. Although it was not the first time she saw him, she sighed in her heart again, “He is so handsome!”

However, she did not have any good feelings for Playboys, so she was simply admiring David’s appearance and did not want to have more contact with this man.

Even she and her eldest sister, together, privately reminded the third sister Cheng Xiaoxi not to let appearances affect her judgment.

Although he is so handsome, Xiaoxi, you must control yourself and must not be deceived by beauty. You will not have a good end!

Compared with Cheng Xiaonan, Cheng Xiaodong guessed that David should have cheated. After all, she had witnessed David’s weird methods with her own eyes. Such a big person could be directly turned into nothing, and changing a poker card should be a piece of cake.

“It’s a pity that no matter how much you win, you can’t take it away. All the money will be used for charity.”

Although David won a lot of money, there was no way to exchange it for real money.

After recording David’s “chip amount”, the waiter gave David a voucher to ensure that he could continue to use these chips when he went again.

Including the final charity poker tournament, after all the contestants’ entrance fees were exchanged for chips, plus all the proceeds from the casino on the ship, they would be used for charity activities – that’s what the publicity said.

David knew that Haishan should have taken all the money away, but he didn’t know whether he would run away with the money after arriving in Japan, or wait until he returned to Hong Kong again?

Judging from the date of the charity poker tournament, it is likely that he ran away from Japan.

“So the casino on the ship is a charity casino?”

Cheng Xiaonan didn’t know about this until then. As a social worker, Cheng Xiaonan is a very kind girl. After knowing that it was a charity casino, she immediately said that she could also give some money and asked David to exchange it for chips, as if she had contributed to charity.

“Although it’s not much, it’s also a token of my appreciation.”

Seeing the 10,000 yuan handed over by Cheng Xiaonan, David didn’t hesitate to take it and put it in his pocket. He casually said, “Xiaonan, you and Xiaoxi can come and see how I maximize the value of this money.”

He just invited Cheng Xiaonan to supervise the use of the donation. He didn’t expect that almost everyone at the table would look at him as soon as he finished speaking.

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.” Sophia answered first, and looked at Cheng Xiaonan curiously. Because she didn’t hide it, Cheng Xiaonan felt weird.

Cheng Le’er, who was beside him, just glanced at David and stretched out her hand to secretly twist David’s flesh. As a result, after searching for a long time, she couldn’t find a place to start. She stepped on David with the heel of her high heels in frustration.

David didn’t react at all, so Cheng Le’er became even more depressed.

Cheng Xiaodong and Cheng Xiaoxi stared at David with sharp and warning eyes. Cheng Xiaodong looked as if he was going to empty the magazine the next moment.

Cheng Xiaoxi was much better, but she kept using vicious eyes to warn David not to hit on her second sister.

Seeing the reactions of the crowd, David rolled his eyes speechlessly, not bothering to explain anything, and continued to eat.

After dinner, the original appointment to go to the theater to watch a performance eventually became David, Sophia, and Cheng Le’er to watch, and the three sisters of the Cheng family were together.

Because there were only her own people around, Sophia was no longer restrained when chatting, and asked David in front of Cheng Le’er: “Are you interested in Cheng Xiaonan?”

“…”

Cheng Le’er became Cheng Bule again. Knowing the situation is knowing the situation. She can regard the situation of David and Sophia as coming from different places with different living customs, so the concept is different from her own. She can understand some of Sophia’s behavior, but it doesn’t mean she will be happy.

Fortunately, David’s answer made her less depressed.

“I’m not Teddy, I want to take down anyone I see.”

“Oh, it seems that you are really not interested in Xiaonan.” Sophia knows David’s character. After hearing David say this, she is sure that he is really not interested in Cheng Xiaonan.

Just when they were about to ask David if he had any thoughts about the eldest sister of the Cheng family, Jack appeared in front of them with a girl and greeted them.

“This is Kiyoko Imamura. I was asked by an old friend to come and take her home.”

Jack boarded the Fugui Maru just because of this girl. It took him some time to find this girl on the ship. Even now, he has not convinced this girl to go home with him.

However, being on the cruise ship, Kiyoko Imamura could not escape, so she reluctantly went with Jack.

Unexpectedly, Jack actually knew such a super handsome guy!

Kiyoko Imamura’s eyes were shining, but after Sophia took a quick look at her, she gave this girl a cross in her heart: she was not tall, her legs were not long, and she had no flesh. She perfectly avoided all of David’s habits, and it was estimated that she would not succeed if she took the initiative to pay for her.

Sure enough, David’s eyes only swept across Kiyoko Imamura, and the time he stayed on Jack’s nose was not as long as it was.
