3:00 in the afternoon.

Fred woke up and found himself locked in a dark empty room, touching his head and hands, they were still there.

"Bang", the door opened, and two security guards led Fred back to the gambling hall.

After entering the door, he found that the cards on the table had been completely cleaned up, and the dealer was about to leave, when Victor saw him coming in, he smiled knowingly.

Looking at Vincent again, with a cigarette dangling from his red lips, he was sitting on a chair with an air of vigor, with a smile still on his face.

He was confused for a moment, wondering if the game was over, or was it a break?

At this moment, Victor spoke: "Mr. Valentine, your dog didn't eat my friend's hand, isn't it very hungry now?"

Vincent shook the ash, and gracefully exhaled a smoke ring: "Mr. Sheard, my dog ​​must have the same opinion as you, thinking that human flesh is too sour."

Victor smiled slightly and said, "Maybe it thinks your hands taste better! Can we fulfill our bet?"

Thus, the scene at the beginning of this article happened.

……

While wiping tears for Henry, Vincent said to the security guard, "Tell Dr. Colin to come in!"

"Victor, what's going on?" Fred asked anxiously, still in shock.

Victor looked at Fred with meaningful eyes: "Mr. Valentine is going to fulfill the bet and cut off his left hand. Mr. Randy, the manager, is unwilling. He wants to tear up the bet and kill us both. Mr. Valentine Stop him. Mr. Randy is very sad, Mr. Valentine keeps comforting him, saying that he has no hands, Mr. Randy can't speak, the two are more compatible, they can withdraw from the disputes in the world, and live an ordinary life together. "

"Really?" Fred listened, and looked at the two people facing each other tenderly, feeling a little moved for no reason.

After hearing Victor's words, Vincent turned around in surprise: "Do you understand dumb language?"

Victor replied lightly: "Understand a little bit!"

Vincent suddenly understood: just now, in order to confirm whether Victor was delirious due to drug addiction, when he pushed Fred out to chop off his hand, he said to Henry, the deaf-mute supervisor in sign language: "Just put on a show." Obviously, this sentence was understood by Victor.

It turned out that he fell into a well-designed scam. Victor released a smoke screen of drug use in the newspaper three months in advance, and hid it from his friends perfectly. Finally, he relaxed his vigilance during the lore.

Obviously, the opponent's purpose is not to gamble, but to deliberately deal with him!Victor is the younger brother of MI[-] Chief Brighton Sheard. Most people don't know about it, but Vincent mainly contacts high-level people in the casino. He has a lot of sources, so of course he knows.Therefore, my enemy is actually MI[-]!

However, Victor's performance was only to relax his vigilance after pretending to take drugs, but the gambling skills that have been stalemate for most of the day require real skills, which cannot be acted out.After accepting Victor's challenge of "gambling with broken hands", I studied all the poker games Victor participated in day and night, and I can say that I know his gambling routines well. It is true that Victor's gambling skills are superior There are many ordinary people, but there is still a clear gap compared with myself.This time, he gambled too extraordinaryly!

Could it be that someone leaked his cards?

A dark cloud rose in Vincent's heart, and only Henry was beside him...

Looking up and seeing Henry's eyes that were red and swollen from crying, Vincent instantly felt relieved. If he didn't stop him, Henry would have shot Victor to death, and it was impossible for the two to collude.

He gently pulled his left hand out of Henry's hand, and said to the security guard next to him, "Take the manager to the side to rest." Then, he gestured for Henry and the security guard to leave.

Henry said he would be here with him.

Vincent smiled faintly at him and shook his head.

Henry suddenly hugged Vincent, and the two security guards dragged him away, half helping and half pulling him out.

Henry staggered and turned his head while walking, looking at Vincent with tears in his eyes, the sadness in his eyes made Vincent suffocate, he couldn't bear to look any more, and turned his head back.

Colin, the full-time doctor of the casino, came in with a surgical kit. After some preparations, he injected Vincent with anesthesia.

"We won't stay here to observe your severed hand. Goodbye, Mr. Valentine!" Victor said, getting up.

"Seeing off the guests!" Vincent said to the security guard, and then turned to the two of them: "Go slowly, you two, I won't see you off!"

"Will Vincent really cut off his own hand?" Fred asked in the elevator.

"of course."

"why?"

"The casino is run by the four major consortium families in Europe. It mainly meets the gambling needs of the European power class. The rules are very strict. If you don't regret the agreement, don't pay a thousand, you must fulfill the contract. Vincent is just a casino manager, so he also You must abide by the rules of the casino. Over the years, Vincent has operated the casino, gambled, and laundered money. He has also relied on the casino's personal connections to solicit business for several famous killers. These projects are worthless, so every year his personal There are 2-3 million in income, and the amount of money laundered by him is so huge that it has affected the economy of the United Kingdom and even Europe. Recently, the subprime mortgage crisis occurred in the United States and spread to Europe. It is imperative to attack him. "

They stepped out of the elevator, retrieved their belongings, got into the car, and drove out of the estate.

"Operating a casino, killing intermediaries, and money laundering are all charges. Why not sue him directly in court?" Fred asked curiously.

"To prosecute a person, there must be evidence. The casino is registered and operated as a club, the entertainment facilities and guns are legally registered, and the apparent business income is normally taxed. Vincent has a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard and uses the club as its headquarters in Europe. Dozens of chain companies have been opened in various countries, using the financial regulatory loopholes of various countries to launder money, which is playing around the edge of the law. As for the murder intermediary, the killers he contacted are all people with extremely high IQs, not like in the movie Hide in a corner and shoot the victim's head off, they charge extremely high fees, prepare extremely carefully, each case is a seamless accident, even I can't find the loopholes. There are four other With the backing of the invincible lawyer team of the big family, and some upper-level figures who have deals with him are also his protection//protection//umbrella, the law really has nothing to do with him." Victor replied.

"So your brother came up with an idea to use the rules of the casino to defeat him? The gambling king lost a hand, so he can only resign. Losing his position means losing all protection, and he will be in big trouble in the future. Unfortunately, Such a beautiful woman, er, a man, still has a hand..." Fred shook his head regretfully.

"You sympathize with him?" Victor looked at Fred with strange eyes.

"No way! I can't sympathize with such a conscienceless person if he loses a thousand hands." Fred said insincerely.

"Fred, human nature is complicated!" Victor sighed, "In one aspect, Vincent is unscrupulous and unscrupulous, but he has another side. He is an American, born and raised by his parents." Abandoned and orphaned, his adoptive father is dumb, so he has special sympathy for orphans and disabled people. The high school he attended was the worst public middle school in the local area. The students came from the lowest families in society. He took drugs and fought at school, and stole early pregnancy , the school spirit was chaotic, and no students ever went to college. After he entered the school, he initiated a public welfare association among his classmates to take care of orphaned and disabled children. Disabled children service, this association has been passed down to the present. He has changed the traditional school ethos of that school with his actions. Now, the school has students applying for university every year, and parents and classmates have seen hope. He himself, because of his excellent academic performance, Excellent social activities and highly recommended by the principal and charitable organizations, he was admitted to Harvard University with a full scholarship. He has never stopped caring for orphaned and disabled children, and donates a large sum of money to them anonymously every year. No matter how busy he is at work, he He also spares time every month to take care of the children in the orphanage. Fred, can such a person be defined as devoid of conscience?"

"Uh...Really? From this point of view, human nature is really complicated." Fred breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably: "The deaf-mute boy loves him very much, and it can be regarded as adding another color to his life." Bar."

"Love is something you don't care about!" Victor snorted disdainfully.

"Victor, you are really 'bitten by a snake once, afraid of well ropes for ten years', forget Helen! Your next love will definitely be waiting for you at the corner of the street." Fred said, but he didn't seem to believe it. In his own words, he frowned.

"Fred, have you ever found love by changing girlfriends?" Victor asked sarcastically.

Fred shook his head: "Victor, don't talk about it. After today is over, I have a psychological shadow! Tell me, are those tall and beautiful women on the street, like Vincent, actually men? ?”

"Then you have to go up and take a look." Victor replied solemnly.
