Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 557

[Chapter 554 Burn]

Da Jun was asked to leave. Although he regained consciousness quickly, he was too ashamed to sit back and continue the game.

Moreover, what happened just now made him realize one thing: the man named David was much stronger than him, and he was no match for this man.

Staying here would only make him more embarrassed, so he might as well leave quickly.

As for what Haishan asked him to do, it was obvious that he could not complete the task at all. Next, he could only rely on Haishan himself – he was not going to ask for compensation or anything else. He was just hoping that the cruise ship would dock as soon as possible so that he could get off the ship and leave quickly.

David watched Da Jun leave and waved goodbye to him.

Then he turned his head to look at Gundam. This time, Gundam was no longer smiling, but had a very serious expression as if he was going to the execution ground.

As a “famous person in the circle”, the prodigal Gundam was very afraid of masters of special abilities. He would try to avoid them when it was not necessary.

It would not end well to confront such people head-on.

I didn’t expect to meet two of them at the card table today.

Judging from the situation just now, the man named David beside him has very powerful special abilities, and he easily knocked the one-eyed dragon out of the game.

What if he used the same trick on himself?

Should he also jump and take off his clothes on the card table?

He is a playboy, but he is not so playful as to be in public. After thinking about it, Gaoda made a difficult decision.

“I give up!”

Pushing the chips piled in front of him, he chose to admit defeat directly, restored his smile, and made a “congratulations” gesture to David.

“In this case, I am the only one left at the table. Should I go to another table?”

With the help of the waiter, David took Cheng Le’er and the chips to the next table.

Compared with the light-speed ending on his side, the battle here is much more stalemate.

Although Haishan and Chen Xiaodao rely on high-tech cheating and sleight of hand to deal with various situations, they are still playing cards normally.

It was different on David’s side. He could easily make himself have good cards by changing and exchanging cards. He could also make the dealer give the target a bad hand. He

could even use some small illusions to influence people’s judgment, making them think they had an advantage, and then they would place heavy bets, follow bets, or even go all-in.

This made the game progress very quickly, and it was completely over after just a few rounds.

In the eyes of bystanders, the whole game was a bit inexplicable. Most people even suspected that the people at this table were just here to make fun of them and were not prepared to play cards seriously.

It was much more normal here. It seemed that these people were really playing cards.

But after David joined, the pace was instantly accelerated a lot. Although David did not use special abilities, small tricks such as changing and exchanging cards were not difficult for him.

After a few rounds, although the chips in front of David did not increase much, several pure extras and background boards had been successfully cleared out by him.

“…”

Haishan rubbed his ears and looked at the only two remaining opponents, his face became extremely serious.

He began to think, should he use some means to seriously deal with the two in front of him?

He would not regard David as an irrelevant passerby. A passerby who was just joining in the fun would not be able to get rid of the army and the prodigal Gundam so quickly.

Although he did not know that David and Chen Xiaodao had joined forces, he could also sense that it would not be good for him if the situation continued to stalemate.

Therefore, he was ready to resolve the battle quickly and then run away with the money he had collected – he had already arranged a ship to pick him up. If everything went well, the cash collected during this period was being loaded on the ship.

He would not wait until the cruise ship arrived in Japan before considering escaping, which was too passive. Moreover, after the game, the longer he stayed on the cruise ship, the more risk he would face.

So from the very beginning, he arranged a ship to pick him up for his escape.

Haishan, who felt that everything was under control, began to care less about the outcome of the game in front of him.

With this idea in mind, and David helping Chen Xiaodao cheat, Haishan quickly lost all the chips in his hand, without any suspense.

He wanted to show his grace and congratulate Chen Xiaodao for winning all his chips, and to provoke Chen Xiaodao and David to let them continue playing at the poker table for a while.

He could use the time between the two to escape.

When the two won the charity poker tournament, they found that the organizer and all the money used for charity were gone. What would their reaction be?

Thinking of the happy things, Haishan smiled brightly.

However, the next second, the headset came with not so happy news – the men who were carrying and loading the money were attacked.

His face changed drastically. Haishan couldn’t ask loudly what happened. He was just about to find a reason to leave and see what happened, but was stopped by David.

“Mr. Haishan, don’t leave in a hurry. Your ship won’t leave you early.”

Haishan’s eyes became sharp, staring at David: “I don’t quite understand what Mr. Glamorgan means.”

“You know.” David threw the cards in his hand and announced to the dealer that he had given up: “But now, Mr. Haishan, as the organizer, can you announce the final winner?”

“Of course, but please forgive me for going to the bathroom first.” After saying that, without waiting for David and Chen Xiaodao to “retain”, he winked at the security personnel behind him and prepared to leave directly.

Several of his men had just taken out their guns, but before they could shock the whole audience, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out, and these men fell to the ground one after another.

Looking at the marks on their foreheads and chests, it is hard to expect them to continue to stick to their posts and protect themselves.

The sudden gunshots caused some chaos, but Cheng Xiaodong held up his ID and shouted, “Hong Kong Royal Police.” to stabilize the situation.

Although the Fugui Maru is strictly a Japanese cruise ship, the Hong Kong police have no law enforcement power on board according to the principle of the place of registration when sailing on the high seas.

But the tourists on the ship are basically from Hong Kong. Even those who are not local to Hong Kong have lived in Hong Kong for a period of time and have a better understanding of the Hong Kong police.

When Cheng Xiaodong showed his identity as a policeman, the chaos stopped immediately. These people followed Cheng Xiaodong’s command and retreated to a safe distance, then stretched their necks to watch the excitement.

While Cheng Xiaodong was controlling the situation, Long Jiu also took out his pistol and shot several of Haishan’s men who were hiding around. Gundam, who was originally mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement, found that someone in the crowd pulled out a gun and wanted to attack, so he also helped a little and knocked down the opponent’s weapon with a playing card. Haishan’s men

deployed in the competition venue were quickly cleared out. Except for the one whose hand was injured by Gundam with a playing card, everyone else was shot dead.

Looking at this situation, Haishan could only raise his hands and declare surrender.

Soon, Flying Eagle Jack and Long Wu came over. When Jack saw Chen Xiaodao, he said directly: “It’s done. It’s done exactly as you asked. Remember to transfer the money as soon as possible!”

“No problem.”

Flying Eagle had been keeping an eye on the cash in the casino these days. He found the retreat that Haishan had arranged for him in advance, and then took the opportunity to create some chaos, creating an opportunity for Long Wu to quickly deal with this group of people.

His task was not difficult, so the reward was not high, but it was at least an income, and Flying Eagle made a small profit.

After seeing that Haishan was controlled and no one was injured, Long Wu briefly told Chen Xiaodao about the situation: “Some banknotes were damaged due to the crossfire, but the loss was not very serious.”

“Oh, this small loss, it doesn’t matter.”

Long Wu nodded. In fact, this loss was deliberately caused to facilitate the subsequent payment of David and Jack’s rewards.

The final finishing work will be the responsibility of Long Jiu.

It stands to reason that the Fugui Maru is about to arrive in Japan, and it is completely possible to control this group of people and hand them over to the Japanese police after arriving at the port.

But in that case, the Hong Kong Political Department would have worked in vain.

So the final solution was that the Fugui Maru stayed where it was, and the Hong Kong side came to take away all the people, evidence and other related items.

If they had not checked in advance that the Fugui Maru and the company behind it were not directly involved in the Haishan incident, but only some of the staff were bribed, they would have wanted to pack up the entire ship and return to Hong Kong.

Because of this incident, the Fugui Maru arrived in Japan later than expected.

At the same time, because of this incident, the Fugui Maru’s original round-trip voyage could not continue – there was a disguised fraud, a gunfight and death, and the tourists were no longer in the mood to continue playing on the Fugui Maru. The

travel company had a lot of things to deal with, and the first thing was to send the group of wealthy guests on the ship back to Hong Kong.

“The original voyage of nearly half a month was directly reduced by half.” Cheng Le’er didn’t feel it was a pity. The biggest purpose of this trip to the sea had been achieved, not to mention that a small profit was made.

As for the cost of the trip, the travel company has promised a full refund, and will gradually return the boat tickets and accommodation fees to all guests.

“It’s a pity that I asked for a half-month long vacation…” Cheng Xiaoxi felt a little bit regretful. She had specially asked for a long vacation, and now there were still many days left. She didn’t know what to do in the next few days to kill time during the vacation?

At this time, she suddenly remembered that could she go to the so-called Winter City before the vacation was over? After

exchanging a glance with Cheng Le’er, the good sister immediately understood that the other party had the same idea as herself.

However, when thinking about going to Winter City, Cheng Le’er suddenly felt a little nervous. She didn’t know what kind of place it would be?

Also, should she follow David to settle in Winter City? Can she adapt to life there? Questions popped up one after another, and the unknown future made her feel confused.
