A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

Why do people want to gamble?

No one can give a clear explanation for this problem so far.

For most people, they just need some entertainment with a little bit of a win, playing a few games of cards, and winning or losing is nothing more than a meal, a little money, or a harmless truth or dare.To put it bluntly, it’s just Tu Yile.

For some, this is their source of income.They are either unlucky, have extraordinary brains, or have outstanding skills. In short, their purpose is to win.

For others, this is their fate.Putting money, power, and fame in a game that has nothing to do with it, you can experience heaven and hell in an instant. It is a stronger stimulus than alcohol, drugs, and men/women, which makes these people do whatever it takes. , crazy about it, sinking.

Some people love gambling, so naturally there are people who organize gambling games, and the work unit of these people is the casino.

Opening a casino is almost a business where you can only make money but not lose money.But this business can’t be done anywhere.

In places like Las Vegas, Macau, and Monte Carlo where gambling is legal, gambling is regarded as a normal necessity for survival like eating and sleeping.

Casinos in these places, like hotels and restaurants, are located in every corner of the city, using different levels of services and experiences to meet the various needs of guests with different spending power.

The purpose of these casinos is to make guests willingly throw in large amounts of money.

But in other places where gambling is illegal, there are still casinos.What's even more amazing is that these people who dare to take huge risks to open underground casinos naturally don't mind taking more risks and doing something else.

Because, for many high-rollers, simply gambling can no longer satisfy them.

Things that can satisfy them are basically written in the "Criminal Laws" of various countries.

Sometimes, they play too far ahead, and the criminal law practitioners in various countries can only follow behind and try to catch up, which is miserable.

In some places, the law has given up catching up because the people who made it were having fun in the casinos.

Belle came to Busan just to go to such a place.

11:30 pm, a night market.

Helen held T'Challa's arm, and Belle put her arm around Agent Ross' shoulder. The four of them were dressed up and strolling on the street.

T'Challa wore a traditional African dress with exquisite gold embroidery that made the vendors on the roadside whisper and point.However, with their eyesight, they still cannot see the true value of this dress - the fabric of this dress is mixed with vibranium and woven.

Helen had been addicted to alcohol and was decadent for more than half a year. Even though her parents took good care of her, she had lost some weight. Now, the evening dress she wore last year no longer fits her well.However, it is better to be thin than to be fat. In addition, with her good looks, full aura, and the blessing of magical makeup, she is qualified to be next to the world's richest man.

It's just that this combination of a black man and an Asian woman will inevitably be ridiculed as "easy girl".

However, this situation is nothing to the people walking on this street. They have long been used to it.

The people and vendors on this street are all under the guise of the casino, and the people shopping are all better-dressed gamblers. These people have seen all kinds of new gadgets.

But the pair of Belle and Rose walking behind still attracted them.

Agent Ross has seen big scenes, and he likes to go to Las Vegas to try his luck in his spare time.But he didn't expect that when he came to South Korea to perform a mission, he would have to go to a casino, so he was naturally ill-prepared.The tuxedo he wore was temporarily rented.

Clothes, especially men's clothing, if they don't have a height base and don't fit well enough, people will complain about the straight male aesthetic in daily life.It would be really interesting if you were dressed like this, walking behind T'Challa and Helen, with a mixed-race supermodel hanging next to you.

The fruit seller asked the coffee seller: "What do you think the relationship between these two people is? It can't be a pretty boy kept by a rich woman, right?"

McCafé's aunt shook her head, "You see, his appearance is ordinary, and he is much older than that woman. Why are you keeping him? Could it be because..."

Aunt Fruit immediately understood and let out a series of barbell-like laughter. After laughing for a while, she said: "Can't she find someone who is outstanding in appearance and outstanding in that aspect? I guess she must have some special hobby."

While the two aunts used their poisonous tongues to deepen the people's stereotypes against this group, they did not forget to complete their work and secretly sent a message to remind people inside that a pair of slightly abnormal guests had arrived.

As soon as the news from their side was sent out, Belle and her party immediately received a prompt from T'Challa's powerful logistics team in their earphones:

Through information verification, the casino's communication frequency band has been found and is being monitored. If necessary, the channel can be taken over at any time.

"It's really good." Belle said with a smile. She didn't know whether she was praising the amazing performance of the logistics team or the night view of Busan.

"That's not as good as your makeup skills, right?" Agent Ross said, "Helen looks like a different person."

Belle said: "Don't make trouble, I don't have that ability, I just try to look as good as possible. Anyway, all the beautiful women in Korea look similar, even the artificial intelligence may not be able to tell."

Artificial intelligence can naturally recognize Helen, but since the Ultron incident, artificial intelligence has almost become a forbidden language in South Korea, and even the IT industry has suffered a major blow.Naturally, this underground casino does not want to use facial recognition. Anyway, in theory, places like casinos should accept all comers.

A few people wandered to the entrance of a stall that had been investigated for a long time, and a Korean aunt with a smile on her face warmly greeted them.

"What do you guys want to order?"

Although the customers on this street all come to the casino, they can’t get in just by coming, especially if they don’t have an acquaintance to guide them. If they casually answer “Four servings of radish kimchi mixed with cold noodles”, they will only be able to get in. I'm afraid it will be cool.

If they dare to come here, T'Challa and Cia have naturally figured out the routine long ago. As long as they can match the code in Korean, they can enter the door. This task naturally falls on Belle.Although Helen's Korean is more slippery, it's better not to let her get ahead of her if nothing happens.

But Belle didn't care about the code. She simply said: "Let us go in."

……

This is a top casino.

The purpose here is: we have what other top casinos have, and we have what other top casinos don’t have.

T'Challa symbolically exchanged "a little" chips and wanted to give half to Ross, but the latter shook the suitcase in his hand (full of diamonds) and declined T'Challa's kindness with a smile.

The gamblers who come here don’t actually use their chips very much.There are many casinos around the world that use chips.The reason why people take risks and gamble here is because, here, everything is a bargaining chip.

In other words, as long as you have it, you can gamble on everything, money, diamonds, antiques, famous paintings, organs, limbs, and even people - regardless of age or gender.

With the way T'Challa is dressed, except for some who are particularly unimpressive, they would think that he is a wealthy African gambler.

But for someone like Agent Ross, if he didn't have some chips in his hand, he might be used as an extra in a gambling game.Losing one's own subordinates to others happens every day here.

But Belle and Helen, even if they have chips in their hands, there are still many people who dare to take advantage of them.

Women, especially young and beautiful women, are hard currency in most parts of the world.In this regard, beautiful men are the same.

Not even 10 minutes had passed since the four people entered the door, but they had witnessed with their own eyes a scene that would be appalling elsewhere, but was indeed an everyday sight here:

An Eastern European beauty with extraordinary appearance and well-dressed clothes was dragged away by two casino bodyguards.

They all say they are willing to admit defeat, but this beauty was exported by the Russians next to her.

The Russian is about 1.8 meters tall and about 50 years old. It can be seen that he was quite strong when he was young, but time is not forgiving. The six-pack abs he had back then have now become a slightly prominent beer belly.

He has a well-oiled hair, a well-tailored three-piece dark brown suit made of fine materials, and his polished leather shoes of the same color.Just from his dress, you can't tell how much this outfit is worth, but this kind of dress that shows no origin but exudes exquisiteness is what it looks like to be truly rich: these things are all specially customized for him. .

People who can afford to wear such clothes naturally have extraordinary magnanimity.Even though the beautiful women around him kept begging and even screaming like crazy, he still had a reserved smile on his face.

But in this smile, if you look carefully, there is a little bit of cruelty and determination.

He said to another gambler: "I'm so sorry, I didn't discipline myself well and made you laugh."

The person who won this beauty was a Middle Eastern tycoon. He laughed, patted the Russian's arm with a hand full of gemstone rings, and said: "It doesn't matter, my friend, women are a little wilder. That’s interesting.”

"Since you like wilder women, she must be interested in you." The Russian said, "But letting her cause trouble here will make me lose face."

The Russian waved casually, and a man who looked like a casino manager immediately came next to him, holding a tray with a black leather box on it.

The Russian opened the box and took out a glass syringe, which was already filled with some kind of colorless and transparent liquid.

Upon seeing this, the casino bodyguard immediately pushed the Eastern European beauty to the ground. The Russian saw the opportunity and plunged a needle directly into the woman's neck.

In less than ten seconds, the beauty stopped struggling. Instead, her eyes were empty and her expression was dull. She was helped up by the bodyguards, followed them obediently, and left the casino through a side door.

Everyone in the entire casino was not surprised by this.

Only Helen was stunned. If Belle hadn't pulled her and used telepathy to calm her emotions, her screams would have been louder than the Eastern European woman who was used as a bargaining chip to lose.

She whispered to Belle: "There is such a place in Korea!"

Belle said: "It's not just Korea, there are places like this everywhere. Gentlemen, don't you think so?"

Ross was silent, but T'Challa said without hesitation: "There is absolutely no such thing in Wakanda."

"That's too much to say," Belle said, "unless all the money in Wakanda belongs to you alone?"

If T'Challa wasn't black, he would be livid right now.

"I decided to play a few games for a while, and then use you as a bargaining chip to export."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. T'Challa's joke was really heard by the people next to him.

"Sir, are you serious? Do you want to take a gamble with me?"
