Chapter 96 Rest Time (VIII)

Even a city with strict discipline like the Holy City of Trane cannot prevent the growth of dark places. In fact, they do not care about any actions other than their own canons and precepts.

The gangs are the supplement of the remaining order. They spread, breed, grow in the dark, and form their own industrial chain. Coexisting with the church that exists on the surface, the head of the parish does not care about these growing gray areas. If they do not touch the precepts, the parish will not use the catholic army to eliminate them.

They can tolerate the insignificant darkness because of the existence of the catholic army. These loyal warriors who adhere to the precepts will clear the obstacles for the church.

In the Holy City of Trane, gambling, an industry between legal and illegal, is not allowed to operate in the open, and if they hide in deep alleys, the church will not pay attention to these gray industries.

They carefully establish their own operating model in the holy city under the watchful eyes of the church.

Gambling is legal by default, and their huge profits must also be paid to the church as tithes.

"ALL IN."

This large casino located in the central parish welcomed a special guest today.

He wore square-framed glasses and exuded a quiet and elegant aura, just like a scholar who had just walked out of a church college, but his brown clothes immediately made everyone exclude him.

But everyone knew that it was impossible for a scholar to come to such a place that was full of filth in their eyes.

And he acted precisely and quickly.

ALLIN, all in.

Putting all the chips in his hand into the gambling game without leaving any way out for himself means that if the other party is not a crazy gambler, he has already grasped the victory in his hands.

Xu Shan gently pushed all the chips in front of him forward, and several chips slid down from the top. In order to pursue the truth and to stimulate gamblers, the chips used in this casino are all made of gold.

The ups and downs of the gold pile reflected the dazzling luster and attracted people's attention.

Where his sight went, the dealers looked nervous, and the old dealer who presided over the gambling game for them was still calm.

This game concerns the dignity and future of their entire casino.

The man who is the dealer holds the cards tightly in his hand. The cards made of fine paper are folded with thick lines by his hands. Beads of sweat slide down the edge of the surface and drip onto the dark green table, leaving darker flannel.

His eyes are filled with urgent bloodshot, and the beast-like mentality is eroding his reason.

"The time is now nine o'clock. I set a time for myself to end today's gambling before ten o'clock in the evening. I have to leave some time for your boss."

Xu Shan smiled and said.

"So, I'm all in. Let's end this gambling game quickly."

Not everyone is convinced.

There are always some people who want to use force to restore their dignity.

The man who was thrown on the ground like garbage over there is the best proof of overstepping the rules.

According to the rules of Tran, even if they want to get rid of these gamblers, they can't do it openly in the casino. If they want to hurt gamblers, no one will patronize this casino anymore.

This madman pointed out that he wanted to challenge the owner of this casino from the moment he stepped into the casino.

"I know your rules."

He only brought one thousand gold chips, which is a huge sum of money for an ordinary person, but it is nothing in their casino, and the waiter kindly reminded him that he needed at least five thousand gold chips to let the casino's opener sit opposite him.

After winning him, he can choose to take the gold away, or make his own request.

So he sat here.

Sitting in front of the largest gambling table in the center of the entire casino, with the great pressure of ten consecutive wins, he forced the ace gambler of the entire casino to come out and compete with him.

After winning him, the chips in his hand will soar to eight thousand gold.

Crossing the minimum value of the amount.

If he fails, he will have nothing.

As both sides showed their cards.

In the wide casino hall, soft piano music sounded, and the sound of chips hitting never appeared again. The air was filled with a slightly tipsy atmosphere, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two people who were concentrating on the game.

The other gambling games in this casino are no longer important. All the visitors have their eyes on the gambling table in the center, to see if this outsider can force the owner of this casino out.

A little bigger.

The cards in Xu Shan's hand are only slightly bigger than the cards of the gambler.

The ace gambler of the casino seemed to be deflated, and fell on the brown wood bench, and the piano sounded again after a slight pause.

The beautiful girls in fishtail skirts walked to the winner, refilled the water glass with boiled water for the third cup left in front of him, and lifted the ace gambler who was already lost and confused with their slender arms, and asked him to leave his seat.

The cheers swept the entire casino like waves.

The gamblers themselves are players, so they are naturally biased towards Xu Shan, the challenger. Everyone is terrified by his actions, and they share Xu Shan's joy because of their own positions.

"Pa-pa-pa-pa-"

The old dealer took off his black hat and gently applauded this wonderful gambling game with his white-gloved hands.

His eyes were like those of a hawk, as if he had returned to his prime.

"Outsider?"

It's not that he has never seen outsiders, but those outsiders have no ability and want to show themselves. The only difference is that they have more money to squander than others.

He was quite interested in these people.

It's a pity that no one can come to him.

The dean nodded slightly and sat in his seat to salute the boss behind the casino.

At this moment, it seems that he is the banker of this gamble.

"I'm a little curious, why is it ten o'clock?"

The dean of the college explained to the casino owner with a soft smile.

"Ten o'clock is the best time to sleep. I haven't rested before ten o'clock for a long time, so let's finish this bet as soon as possible so that I can complete the task given to me by my commander. I can have a very good time tomorrow. Good condition to explore the city. ”

The boss smiled, turned around, walked to his seat and sat down, dividing the Chu River and Han boundaries at both ends of the long table.

"Oh, then you should like Tran. This is a city with a long history. I'm really curious about your mission. Regardless of whether you win or lose the bet, I plan to buy you a drink."

They were chatting like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, toasting and exchanging glasses at the wine table.

"How can we entertain this distinguished guest with such inferior wine?"

He raised the glass of red wine and sniffed it, showing a dissatisfied expression, while the waitresses in fishtail skirts all trembled and told him that their hospitality was not good enough.

"Take out the wine from my wine cabinet to serve this guest."

"What are we betting on?"
