Natural enemies

Macau is one of the four major casinos in the world. In addition to its dedicated casinos, almost every high-end hotel has its own casino, and the business is also booming.

The Lotus Hotel is a newly opened high-end hotel in recent years. It has all kinds of facilities, and of course there is no shortage of casinos.Moreover, because it is opened inside the hotel, the confidentiality measures are excellent, and it has attracted many demanding guests.Especially after seven o'clock every night, hardly a table is vacant.

The casino is located on the top floor of the hotel. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs and various gambling methods.Amidst the noise, the Texas Hold'em tables are probably the quietest.And most of the people sitting next to these tables are well-dressed in suits and leather shoes, but their average looks seem to be higher than those of other tables.

However, there was a table that attracted everyone's attention tonight. The main reason was that there were actually two super handsome guys sitting on this table today, and they had very different styles.

One was dressed like a peacock, and his rose-red striped shirt was dazzling under the light. If it wasn't for his black hair and black eyes to suppress his coquettish vigor, he might have floated into the sky.Although he was sitting on a poker table, his shirt sleeves were rolled up high, revealing his strong forearm. The Van Cleef & Arpels watch on his wrist had a sapphire dial, which was also radiant under the light. It almost collided with the color of the shirt, causing sparks to fly everywhere, making others want to cover their eyes a little bit.

This man played cards as recklessly as his clothes. Tonight, he stole a lot more. The changes in the number of chips in front of him were like a roller coaster. They were either thrown out in piles or collected back in piles. Heartbroken.

In contrast, the other one is completely gentleman-like, with a simple beige shirt and blue-gray trousers, and even the sitting posture is elegant and indifferent. Except for a pair of blue diamond cufflinks, there is nothing else on his body. decorations.

What matched his clothes was his steady typhoon. For more than an hour after the opening of the cards, he always sat so steadily, the expression on his face did not change much, and the additional chips were always tepid.But now, on the entire table, he has the most chips in front of him, and it seems that all the luck tonight has gone to him.

Because the Texas Hold'em table is relatively quiet, and the cards don't take long to open, even if most people notice this table, they are mostly looking at the handsome guy, while few other gamblers, let alone the dealer.

The dealer is a young man in his early 30s, wearing the hotel's standard vest and white shirt, with a very standard smile on his face.However, if someone has been observing carefully since the opening of the card, he will find that his smile is quite stiff now. If it is not because of his well-trained, he may have been laughing out of shape by now.

Right across from him, there was a middle-aged man in a black suit. Although he didn't have a smile, his facial muscles were subtly similar to those of a croupier—stiffness.

This middle-aged man looked like an ordinary gambler, but of course the croupier knew very well that he was from the casino.This man is playing the role of bait.On the one hand, he gives gamblers a little sweetness by losing money appropriately, and then they will be unable to stop when they lose again, and some people will even lose their minds until they lose all their money and even become in debt.On the other hand, he can also leave the casino with a lot of winning money, and by showing his good luck, attract some gamblers who also count on good luck to come, and by the way, he can also show the "fairness" of the casino.

To be able to play such a role, of course he is a master, but tonight, I don't know whether it is his bad luck or what, the chips in front of him have already lost more than half.If you do the math, the value is already around 30.

Of course, his chips are all provided by the casino, and he lost 30 in one night, even if he is "one of his own", this situation is not acceptable.What's more, the boss of this casino is ruthless. Today is the last day of this month. If he loses this money, his income for this month will be negative. The boss will never let him have a good time!

However, this round of luck may be good...

The middle-aged man looked at the table. The community cards were only two threes and one ace, but he had three kings and a full house of three kings in his hand, which was not small.And he still has an ace, that is to say, the possibility of a full house with three aces in other people's hands is not very high...

The middle-aged man looked at his cards again, and then glanced to both sides.A gambler who looked like a housewife had already given up, but the handsome guy who looked like a peacock was smiling, and pushed out a pile of chips without hesitation, but when pushing the chips, his fingers seemed to tremble habitually , a stack of chips fell down with a clatter, making it quite lively.

He is stealing chicken!The middle-aged man instantly settled down.He began to observe the people at the table from the moment he sat down, especially the two most outstanding, he paid special attention to them.

As for this peacock, the card style is as wild as a wild horse, and it seems completely unpredictable, but he has been in the casino for nearly 30 years, and he has seen countless gamblers of all colors. Reflect the psychological changes of the parties.This flower peacock seems to have a plan in mind, throwing a lot of chips out, but it is actually deliberately creating an illusion and using noise to cover up its guilty conscience.

This point can be verified from the two previous poker games where he stole the chicken. Unfortunately, his own cards were too bad in those two times. With a large amount of chips flowing over, I didn't get any of it.

A full house of three kings, the middle-aged man looked at his cards calmly again, pushed out the few remaining chips in front of him, and called.

After he made a move, there was only one blue diamond cufflink left, and the rest of the gamblers gave up when the third card was dealt. Obviously, there was no big card.

The blue diamond cufflinks moved slightly under the light, reflecting a circle of beautiful fire. Its owner had called the bet and also pushed out a pile of chips.

The middle-aged man felt a little sweat on his back.A full house of three Kings is indeed big, but it is not the biggest card.He calculated the cards on the table again, and felt that a straight flush was no longer possible. In the current situation, if the Blue Diamond Cufflinks were to win, the most likely would be a full house of four threes and three aces.

The dealer dealt the last card, the two of clubs, which had nothing to do with the previous cards, and of course it was useless to the middle-aged man.

Peacock flicked another pile of chips out, but this time, the amount he put out was smaller than the last time he bet.

He is guilty.The middle-aged man thought silently.But now the question is, what card does Blue Diamond Cufflinks hold?You must know that he doesn't have many chips, and if he wants to call, he has to go all-in. Once he loses, he can't make up for the shortfall of 50.

However, there are already 80 in the pot. If he wins, not only can he get back the money he lost, but he can also earn a lot, which is related to his own commission.

The middle-aged people know that their mentality is not right, because most of the gamblers who lost their fortunes ended up with this kind of thinking.But helplessly, his bargaining chip is not his own, he cannot afford this responsibility, he must win it back!

"Sir—" the croupier urged in a hoarse voice.Being in charge of the same table, the interests of the two of them are one. If the middle-aged man loses everything, he will be no good.Even for a moment, he thought of cheating, but modern casinos are really not a good place to cheat, not to mention that the peacock man seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and kept staring at his hand.

But after he dealt the fifth card, the peacock man finally moved his eyes away and turned to the cards on the table.

He's looking at that A!The middle-aged man caught the peacock man's eyes in an instant - he may have an ace in his hand, it can't be two, because then he doesn't need to steal the chicken, but if he already has an ace, then the blue diamond cufflinks It will never be a full house with three aces, so the possibility of him getting four threes to win the game is very small.

Gambling is gambling after all.A full house of three K's can be gambled by anyone who gets it.The middle-aged man made a decision in an instant and pushed out all the chips in front of him.Afterwards, he stared closely at the face of the blue diamond cufflinks, and sure enough, he caught a trace of hesitation on his face.

He's not a particularly big card!The middle-aged man was almost cheering in his heart. According to the habit of the blue diamond cufflinks tonight, he should no longer call. Then the 80 in the pot would be - before the middle-aged man could finish thinking, the precious blue diamond The brilliance flashed and its owner called.

Middle-aged people feel that they are going to suffocate for more than ten seconds.In front of the blue diamond cufflinks, there were three A's lined up, which made his eyes hurt.After a full minute, he stood up in a little embarrassment, left the table, and walked to the back of the casino.

The croupier's expression was not very good either.It's normal for a middle-aged man to lose everything and leave, but how can he go to the back of the casino?If someone saw him, wouldn't it be immediately discovered that he was with the casino?If so, the reputation of "fairness" that their casino has painstakingly created will become a joke.

However, the middle-aged man can't care about anything now, he got into the small door at the back of the casino, took two steps along a corridor, and saw the person he was looking for: "Miss Shen!"

"Old Liang?" The mixed-race girl who came out of the room was still wearing the standard casino vest, and she couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw the middle-aged man, "Why did you come in?" It is not allowed to run back.

"Miss Shen!" Lao Liang grabbed the girl's hand, "Miss Shen, you have to help me! I, I lost 50 just now! Those two people are clearly in the same group! I can't lose, or the boss won't let me go Me, Miss Shen, help me!"

At this moment, he could only come to beg Shen Yi.This Shen Yi's gambling skills are far superior to his. It is regarded as the casino's secret weapon. Generally, without the boss's order, she will not easily make a move.But in the past, he helped Shen Yi, although it was not a great kindness, but now he can only bite the bullet and ask for help.Fortunately, the boss didn't come today. If he can get Shen Yi to win back the lost chips, he might still be able to get away with it.

"You lost?" Shen Yi frowned, "Old Liang, you shouldn't have followed in the last fight..." She has a quarter of South American blood, has a beautiful appearance, and an even more attractive figure. Everyone said that she was a waste of money to be a croupier.

"But I have lost a lot before, and the three K's gourd..." Lao Liang was a little incoherent, "Miss Shen, you have to help me, or I will be ruined! You see, I have helped you before For sake..."

"But I have something to do now, the boss asked me to—" Shen Yi said halfway, seeing Lao Liang's miserable face, she still sighed, "Okay, I promise you. Hurry up, don't let the supervisor see you coming in illegally Don't worry, I will take back all your chips, but if there are too many chips, I won't have any more. I have other things tonight."

"Okay, okay..." Lao Liang would be satisfied as long as he didn't lose money, so he wouldn't dare to ask for anything else.He really wanted to stay and watch Shen Yi win all the chips back with his own eyes, but he didn't dare to violate the rules, so he had to beg again, and then left anxiously.

Shen Yi sighed, walked into the casino, and soon found the two people mentioned by Lao Liang.Those two people are really eye-catching, especially the flower peacock, which seems to have a spotlight wherever it goes, so it's easy to find.

It really is a gang.Shen Yi looked at the two men walking side by side towards the entrance of the casino, muttered something in her heart, and walked over lightly: "You two gentlemen—are you going to exchange chips?"

As she spoke, she turned a small object in her hand.This thing looks like a tube of lipstick, but the bottom is actually a psychedelic drug made from special herbs, which emits a rose-like smell.At the same time, she raised her eyes, first smiled at the flower peacock, then turned her head and smiled at the man next to her: "Do you need my help?"

"Oh——" Hua Peacock's eyes were a little distracted, "Okay, please..."

Wow, a pile of chips landed on the service desk, Shen Yi signaled the staff to count and exchange them, she quietly backed away, turned around and found Lao Liang at the back door: "Here you are."

Holding a handful of chips, Lao Liang was both surprised and delighted: "Miss Shen, so fast?" Isn't this enough time for two hands of cards?

"Don't ask any more questions, just go." Shen Yi urged him, "Don't tell me what happened tonight." If it wasn't for the tight time, she would not have used this method.However, when life was at its worst, if Lao Liang hadn't lent her the money, my mother might not be alive today.Although her current ability should not be used casually, she made an exception for Lao Liang, as long as the boss didn't know about it.But she has to go to the boss right now, and she must not be late!Fortunately, the boss lived very close to the hotel, otherwise she really wouldn't have dared to take the time to help Lao Liang.

Shen Yi hurried out from the back door of the hotel, and a few minutes later, a car parked by the side of the road rolled down the window.If Shen Yi hadn't left in such a hurry, maybe she would have discovered that the two people in the car were exactly the gamblers who were bewildered by her and stole the chips just now, but the eyes of the two are clear now, and they don't have the slightest trance like just now. look.

Tang Ji looked out the car window, pouted, "I thought she would fly over on a broom..."

Gu Yi looked at him helplessly: "Jiang Yingjie's residence is very close to here, she can walk on foot. Besides, which witch can ride a broom now, isn't she afraid of being seen?"

"But I really want to see it..." Tang Ji fell back and leaned on him, "I've never seen a witch flying in the sky on a broomstick, and in this world, witches don't do this anymore ..."

Hearing his regretful tone, Gu Yi laughed, "That's all right. When I get back to Shanghai, I'll find someone to ride a broom." Lily would be very happy to have the opportunity to ride a broom.

"Really?" Tang Ji chuckled, "Well, I'll just wait and see."

Gu Yi slapped him casually, and pushed him away from his arms: "Hurry up and follow, the lunar eclipse has already begun, and it will soon be over."

Tang Ji pushed open the car door and glanced at the sky.The tall buildings cut the night sky into broken pieces. In a certain piece of the sky, there is a round moon embedded in it. However, the bright moon that was supposed to be silver has now started from the edge, and nearly half of it has turned into a round moon. dark red……
