A Card Shark’s World - C25
The sudden appearance of the bespectacled man caused the heart that I had just put into my stomach to rise once again into my throat.
Before Mouse and I could react, the glasses man spoke up.
“Ma Liu, right?”
Never would I have thought that this bespectacled man would even know my name.
“You are an idiot. A thousand techniques isn’t bad. I wonder who your master is? ” The bespectacled man continued, “At such a young age, he already has such an accomplishment. It looks like your master is not someone to be trifled with. ”
After the bespectacled man finished speaking, waves of shock surged through my heart.
Elder Wang is my master, and my master wasn’t that great in my world. But now, when I walk out, I realize that if my master were to linger around here, he would be completely carefree.
My cloudy sleeves can only hide a pack of poker cards, just won so much money. And my master began to be able to hide, several sets of poker cards. Perhaps his thousand techniques wouldn’t even be able to catch him.
I was just a bit off. I thought that the bespectacled man did not see through my Thousand Arts Technique, but now it seems that the bespectacled man already knew everything. I even know my name. Maybe he’s already investigated me.
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, the bespectacled man laughed. I squinted at the bespectacled man, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, I asked the bespectacled man what he meant.
How could I not be considered old? However, what I have experienced is something that ordinary people cannot experience. I’m also sure that this bespectacled man must be like Hu-ge, asking me for something. Otherwise, why did he not say I was an idiot?
It seems like he was intentionally trying to intimidate me in the game room. I finally understand why he did that in the game room. This was called knocking on the side, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
The bespectacled man waved his hand after I finished speaking. I knew what he meant. This wasn’t the place to talk. He turned around and left. After thinking for a moment, Mouse and I followed closely behind.
In that era, there were very few private clubs. Even if there was one, it would only be entered by extremely powerful people.
I really didn’t expect that there would be such a place in our county. This was something I hadn’t thought of before.
He had originally thought that the county city was backward, but in the past few days, it seemed that he was not. Many things were things that ordinary people could not access.
Therefore, it made me more determined to become a gentleman.
After hearing the reason for the bespectacled man’s visit, I was silent for a long time. The bespectacled man handed me a few cigarettes, one after another, and I was quite confused.
The bespectacled man’s purpose in coming was truly terrifying. The bespectacled man let me destroy Hu-ge. Not only that, but the bespectacled man also brought me important news. That is, the people who chased after Mouse and I were indeed Brother Hu’s men. Brother Hu wanted me to leave the county like a stray dog.
Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, I came back. As for why Hu-ge’s scene disappeared, the glasses man told me too. The bespectacled man said that was because Hu-ge and Leopard had teamed up.
The two of them were going to combine their connections.
Of course, this so-called leopard brother. He was also the boss of the game room. Below the game room, it was the same size as Brother Hu’s underground casino. It seemed that his previous conjecture was correct. He really didn’t expect that the county city would be so powerful. If these two underground casinos were connected, the scale would be unimaginable.
The bespectacled man was probably a confidant of Baozi’s. Although, he had never seen this Brother Bao Zi, but his scheming was not ordinary. To think that I could get the bespectacled man to study me so thoroughly. Besides, it was obvious that Panther had wanted to get rid of Tiger brother.
The muddy water in the county was really too deep. If I had known earlier, I would have left as soon as possible. But now, it seems, I can’t leave. I won the money from someone else’s game room, and that’s for nothing. They were all in his hands.
Of course, more importantly, I offended Brother Hu without knowing it. Hu-ge wanted to recruit me from the beginning. But I didn’t listen to him. I thought he would let me off, but now it seems that he’s really ruthless.
The whole thing was set up to get me out of town. Could it be that I am really a threat to him?
Although the bespectacled man didn’t say it, Hu-ge didn’t look for trouble with Mouse and me, partly because of Bao Zi Ge. However, I also know that if these two families don’t work together, Brother Hu will definitely spare some of his energy to deal with me. It seemed that he didn’t know about it, and owed the bespectacled man a favor.
However, he had said it back. The bespectacled man wants me to destroy Hu-ge. How can I do that? Working at Brother Hu’s place?
Hu-ge probably won’t use me again. When I told my thoughts to the bespectacled man, he continued to wave his hand. He said that I didn’t need to worry about that and would arrange it when the time came.
Then he made me wait, and after a while he came back to me. Just like this, for some baffling reason, I became Brother Panther’s man, an undercover spy. I was also a bit drunk on this. But this is good. Hu-ge, I think he’s been in a bad mood for a long time.
The first time they met, he had been holding back his anger. If I didn’t really have some ability and intelligence, I would have caught that thousand-year-old dealer of his. Maybe what’s waiting for me now, I don’t know what it will be like.
For the rest of the day, Mouse and I ate and drank, enjoying ourselves.
Since he had decided not to leave the county, he naturally had to live a happy life. Moreover, I also know that what I’m going to do next will definitely be risky. However, after taking the risk, the rewards would be able to make his life better.
At that time, I was indeed a fool. I even fantasized about getting a leopard’s favour after getting rid of Hu-ge. He didn’t know that he had been kept in the dark by the bespectacled man. Of course, this was all a story for the future.
There will always be a person in life who will unintentionally meet you.
When they met again, it was in a rather high-end restaurant.
Mouse and I ate in the dining room that day. During dinner, Mouse went to the toilet, and when he came back, Mouse said, “I met a colleague.”
At the time, I listened to Mouse and didn’t care. Back then, thieves were a profession everywhere. But what left me speechless was that Mouse had made a black eat.
Mouse took out a wallet from his pocket. Then he directly took out all the money in his wallet. Another thousand or so.
Looking at Mouse’s expression, I started to get a little angry. I told Mouse about it before, when Mouse was caught and released. Don’t do such a sneaky thing in the future. Mouse also agreed.
But now, the rat’s hands began to itch again. When he met his peers, he would meet them. When his peers stole their wallets, he stole their wallets, but there was no one left.
Before I could lose my temper, Mouse suddenly took out a photo from his wallet. Surprised by the photo in his hand, he shouted, “Sixth Brother, what’s going on? “Why is the person on top you?”
Hearing Mouse’s words, I was a little confused. Then, I took the photo. When I looked at it, I was stunned. The person in the photo was indeed me. It was just a side view, and I was still in my school uniform, with a basketball in my hand.
I began to remember when. He suddenly remembered that this could have been in high school. I didn’t study well at that time, but I played basketball well. He was a captain.
But who took this picture? And, at the time, cameras were a rarity.
He was completely confused and did not know what was going on. Who would have thought that at this moment, a scream from a woman rang out.
“You bitch, how dare you seduce my man.” Of course, it was a woman’s roar.
Everyone in the restaurant looked at the source. And Mouse and I were no exception.
But when I saw the scene in front of me, I couldn’t help but clench my fists.
