Start your adventure with American TV series

The time came unknowingly on the second night. At this time, the captain invited all the passengers in the VIP cabin to a banquet. The banquet was held in the lobby on the first floor.

Locke joined Ashley and the others and then came to the hall. The music was already playing. A thin captain with a wrinkled face first made a few warm-up speeches, and then Mr. Canton, as the protagonist, delivered a speech while holding champagne. speech.

“Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of myself and Captain Atherton, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you on the Argonaut’s maiden voyage.

All the staff on this cruise ship have only one goal, and that is to make your dream trip come true.

For myself, I have only one dream in my life, and that is to build the most advanced, luxurious and expensive luxury cruise ship in the world.

Just tonight, seeing everyone, so beautiful, so elegant, so rich... I realize that my dream has come true, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart to everyone for making my dream come true!

For the Argonauts, the good times last forever! "

Finally, Mr. Canton raised his wine glass and drank a drink with all the VIP passengers in the luxury suites, and the banquet officially began.

When the music started, the stage began to give way to the dancers responsible for the performance, and the waiters who had been prepared long ago served the passengers with exquisite meals and drinks.

They were talking and laughing while enjoying the cheerful atmosphere. During this period, Peggy even called and expressed her envy to Locke and others. After a few words, Hermione snatched the phone away and chatted about interesting things on the ship.

Looking at the joyful atmosphere on the field, Locke looked at the time and estimated that Mr. Canton would take action soon. He had no intention of stopping Lorraine's plan. He only planned to play the role of being 'kidnapped'. character of.

Of course, he also told Ashley and the others in advance that they should not leave him for a long time tonight. As long as they didn't run around, there would be no danger.

Not to mention that Lorraine was one of his own, even if there were hundreds of robbers, it was just a small scene for Locke, so he was still quite calm.

At this time, a well-known female singer invited by the captain came on stage to sing. Hermione finally ended her communication with Peggy, hung up the satellite phone, and handed it to Locke again.

At this time, a vague strange sound came, which made Locke frown, and then began to look around.

The hall was very noisy, with the clinking of cups and saucers, the sound of background music, and people talking one after another, but the sound just now seemed extremely weird.

Although it was still raining heavily outside, the open-air facilities on the deck had been temporarily closed, but this was obviously not caused by the rain.

Moreover, the sound seemed to come from below, which made Locke look at his feet. Most of the cabins below were filled with staff. Mr. Canton had already started to take action, but the main control computer of the cruise ship was not in the cabin below. !

I intuitively felt that something was wrong, but I used a mental scan to observe the entire cruise ship and found nothing special.

"Danger Detection." After thinking about it, Locke cast a magic, but found nothing. Danger Detection can detect the existence of things that threaten Locke, but after casting it, he still found nothing. No dangerous people or objects were found.

Just at this time, I saw Leonard running over, holding a stack of chips in his hand.

"Have you thought about how much you want to win today?" Locke joked directly.

"As a professional gambler, winning money is my goal, but it is not a good habit to start imagining things before they happen." Leonard laughed.

"In the circle of rich people, people who are familiar with me will not actively want to gamble with me. Now that I have met a fat sheep, I have to take good care of it. Just cooperate with me in a while. Your benefits are indispensable. ." Locke shrugged.

Since the danger detection did not find any special danger, it meant that even if there was any situation, the threat to Locke would not be great, so he did not hold on to the weird voice. No matter what it was, he would wait until it happened. .

Now, it was more important to slaughter the fat sheep first. After two hours, when the agreed time came and Lorraine's people started taking action, there would be no chance.

In front of the prepared gambling table, Locke saw Carlot Youying and two other gamblers. There were five players in total, but except for Leonard, the other players were accompanied by a female companion. At this time They all gathered in front of a coffee table nearby to drink tea and chat.

After pulling out the seat, Locke glanced at the chips in front of Carrot, Youying and the other three, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that I have the smallest chips."

"Don't worry, I can make a temporary change or write a check later," said an old man in his fifties sitting next to Carlot Youying.

"Then it depends on whether the next situation requires me to write a check on the spot in exchange for chips. Let's get started." Locke could recognize that the other party was Joel, a shareholder of the oil company. It seemed that he had something to do with this guy Carlot. Friendly.

He had no idea of ​​being polite. Facing these old foxes who eat people but don't spit out their bones, if you are too polite, they will only look down on you. This is also Locke's own experience.

On the other side, Ashley and the others also came to sit down with their female companions, and everyone introduced each other. In the past two years, she had worked as a personal assistant with Locke, and Ashley had been trained to be generous and responsive.

Caroline was also very familiar with such occasions, but Fleur and Hermione rarely encountered such scenes, but they were just not familiar with the rules and were not embarrassed at all. After all, in the fairy tale world, even real queens and princesses are not Seen it before.

…

"Mr. Joel, two pairs!"

"Mr. Locke, Shunzi!"

"Mr. Locke wins!"

After the last trump card was revealed, the dealer announced the winner and lost, and pushed all the chips in front of Locke, who said with a smile on his face:

"I would also like to thank Mr. Joel for your help. This way, I shouldn't have to exchange extra chips."

Some people glanced at Carlot Youying with pity. This guy's cards were too poor, so he gave up early. He basically didn't lose anything in this round.

Leonard on the side looked at Locke's gains and couldn't help but his eyes were a little warm. No wonder even those old gamblers who have made enough money to retire dream of encountering such a 'dream gambling game' Well, money really comes quickly.

Especially since he and Locke didn't even notice the rough cooperation, they were all here to pick up money.

After getting two pairs, I actually bet five hundred thousand directly. This is a high-quality big fat sheep.

In fact, five hundred thousand was really just a little pocket money to the people sitting in front of the gambling table. They didn't care about the bets. Because of Locke's teasing, they couldn't help but smile in a friendly way.

Even Joel, who lost money, laughed twice: "No way, there are not many opportunities to play cards with you, Locke. It wouldn't be good if you were eliminated all at once."

"Thank you very much for Mr. Joel's generosity." Locke smiled and looked at Carlot Youying: "How is Mr. Youying's luck this time? He shouldn't continue to fold directly, right?"

"Of course not this time." Carlot Youying said: "It's just that I think it would be better for you to exchange more chips now, one million."

With that said, Carlot Youying threw one million chips on the gambling table, and then looked at Locke: "What, do you want to fold?"

"Of course I'm not going to give up. I just lamented that Mr. You Ying is such a good person. Although his words are a bit ugly, he is rushing to give me money!"

"Are you so sure? I see you haven't looked at the trump card yet."

"I believe Lady Luck is always on my side." Locke shrugged and threw out a million chips.

"If you are too confident, it won't look good if you lose soon."

"Then you have to lose."

Locke smiled and looked at Carlot Youying: "Ever since I learned to play cards, Lady Luck has never left me."

"In that case..." Carlot Youying revealed his trump card.

"Mr. Youying, Sanjo!"

"Mr. Locke, Shunzi!"

"Mr. Locke wins."

Locke watched the dealer push the chips in front of him and said with a smile: "You see, Lady Luck is on my side."
