LOL Infinity: Starting from Piltover Guard

Late at night, the sky is as dark as ink.

The most prosperous area of ​​Piltover is still brightly lit at this time.

On Karen Avenue, there is a high-end casino called "Golden Sea Glory".

The decoration inside is extremely high-profile and luxurious, and the carpet is made of whole pieces of shadow bear skin.

You know, Shadow Bears are one of the most ferocious wild creatures in Runeterra. Being able to peel off their skins and cover an entire hall with them is enough to show how wealthy the casino owner is.

"It's your turn to place your bet, sir."

In the hall, in front of the gambling table in the center, a polite gentleman spoke.

He has clean and tidy long black hair, his overall dress is spotless, and every move gives people a sense of elegance.

On the gambling table in front of the gentleman, chips of various colors have been piled up as high as a mountain.

On the other side of the gaming table sat what seemed to be the opposite of his personality.

The man was extremely sloppy, with a tangled beard that looked as if he had never trimmed it. His clothes were covered in oil stains, and his cuffs were shiny as if they were covered in starch. The edges of his tattered vest and cloak were also worn out.

He had a thumb-thick cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth, and when he curled his lips he exhaled a large cloud of white smoke.

"Damn it, I don't believe you can be so lucky every time, I'm going to cash in."

A fat and wealthy man standing next to him trembled a little on his face when he heard this.

"Oh my god, Malcolm, you still want to shuttle? Do you want to reconsider it?"

The fat man squinted his eyes and wiped the sweat from his temples.

Malcolm Graves bit his cigar and scolded incoherently:

"Jim, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but if you want to do big things, you have to have a vision to match them. Do you understand the vision? Trust me, this time I'll win for sure!"

The fat man called Jim cursed in his heart, "Bullshit! This is all my money. You don't feel sorry at all if you lose it."

However, considering that Graves had helped him win so much money before, Jim did not turn against him directly.

He said with a smile on his face:

"But I've already lost almost all my chips. I don't have any money left to play all in."

"If you don't have money, go get it. To do big things, you need his brew... what's that? Oh, yes, strike while the iron is hot and seize the opportunity to win. You are a businessman, do I need to teach you this principle?"

Graves glanced casually at the gentleman at the opposite table.

The other party immediately understood what he meant, and after taking a look at his cards, he smiled confidently and said:

"I think Mr. Jim has reached his limit. There is already a lot of bets on the table. How about we just open the cards and decide the winner?"

Jim's gaze fell directly on the person behind the other person. After seeing the person's obscure gestures, he felt relieved.

This person was a younger brother he specially arranged to report the other party behind the scenes. He was like Jim's other eye.

As long as the gentleman has looked at the cards, he will definitely not escape the other party's attention.

However, based on the information the other party just passed on, Jim still had some concerns. After all, the points on his cards were higher than his opponent's at this time, but it did not mean that the cards dealt would remain the same after raising the bet.

But if he were to unveil the card at this point, he would feel a little unwilling in his heart, just as Graves said, it would be a pity if he didn't press on and win more now that the points are high.

Gambler’s mentality: winning little is a hundred times more painful than losing everything.

After all, no one would be happy to win only 100 when they could win 50.

"It's not very meaningful to decide the winner by opening the cards. Just wait, I will arrange for someone to go to the Huangdao basement to get the money."

Jim waved his hand and called over a younger brother.

At this time, the gentleman did not know that his cards had been seen through. He seemed to still have considerable confidence in his cards, so he allowed Jim's move.

While waiting for Jim to add more money, the gentleman called the dealer to cover the cards, so that no one could secretly change the cards before the new funds arrived.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

The gentleman stood up calmly, bowed slightly, and then left the hall.

Since the chips were all on the table, Jim was not afraid that the other party would run away at the last minute, so he readily agreed.

Later, Graves also found an excuse to get away.

The two met in a secret corner outside the casino. As soon as they met, Graves cursed:

"Damn it, this old man actually has money in the vault. He is really a miser."

He cautiously stuck his head out to look outside, and after confirming that no one was following him, he smiled and said:

"No matter what kind of miser he is, his money will eventually go into our pockets."

This gentleman is none other than Graves’ old partner, Tobias Felix, the future famous card master Trist.

However, in this timeline, Graves has not been caught yet, and Tobias has not changed his name yet.

The two had been planning for this moment for a long time, and it took a long time just for Graves to gain Jim's trust.

It took so long to plan for today's finale.

According to the original plan, after Graves secured victory, he would encourage Jim to bet all his fortune on a final fight with Drizzt.

In the end, Drizzt narrowly won and took home the fortune. After the deal was done, he and Graves split the profits 50-50.

By the time Jim realized something was wrong, the two had already escaped to the ends of the earth and were living a happy life.

"Goddess of luck bless you, I hope nothing goes wrong in the end."

Drizzt took out the lucky dice from his jacket pocket, held it in his hand and muttered to himself.

Graves never believed in these supernatural things, and snorted disdainfully and said:

"What can go wrong? If that old bastard really finds out, we can just rob him of his brew. It's quick and easy."

Upon hearing this, Drizzt realized that his old problem had come back again, so he pointed to his temple and said earnestly:

"I'm telling you, can you please use your brain a little bit and not resort to violence every time something happens? The law enforcement officers here are not there to do nothing."

"I heard that they have recently been equipped with a type of weaponry called Hex. This thing allows ordinary people to easily control magic. If we provoke them, we will be in big trouble."

"Kurt, Brick and the others haven't arrived yet. Don't forget our main purpose for coming here. Taking all the money from that fat pig is just a side job. We need to prioritize and give up the money if necessary."

But Graves didn't hear a single punctuation mark in Trist's words.

He interrupted the other party rudely, grinning greedily:

"I know what you mean. You mean we'd better get another batch of Hextech equipment to sell?"

"But we have to squeeze every penny out of that fat pig before Brick and the others get here. I don't want to give away any more money, not even a penny."

What I mean is that I want you to be more restrained and be careful of those law enforcement officers who are armed with hextech weapons. When did you ever say that you robbed hextech weapons and sold them for money?

You silly bear, you can't see anything when you lose money, right?

Drizzt sighed. He couldn't persuade this guy, ever.

However, Graves's recklessness is not always a bad thing, because you never know when he might double everyone's money.

Of course, that was only a few cases. Most of the time, his recklessness would push his accomplices into the fire pit.

After discussing some follow-up details, the two returned to the casino one after another.

"Uncle, do you have enough money to gamble? If not, you can use my money first, without interest."

As soon as Graves returned to the luxurious hall, a man with shifty eyes came up to him and asked.

"you?"

Graves glanced at the other person's attire with disdain and sneered:

"How many coins do you have in your pocket? Are they enough for the bet I'm going to make?"

"Forget it, just give it all to me. Don't say I don't take care of you. If you win, I'll reward you with a thousand gold coins."

When the man heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately gave all his assets to the other party.

At the same time, he sent a message in his personal channel through the system.

[Jeff: Thanks to Mr. Norwin, I have established a relationship with Graves. I believe the side quest will be triggered soon.]

Seeing this scene, Trist, who was sitting at the card table, frowned.

He always keeps his distance from those whose background he doesn't know.

But Graves always likes to hook up with them, which often means huge risks.

Goddess of luck, I hope this idiot won’t do anything weird again.
