Section 25 Temptation
The dealer began to check the authenticity of the banknotes as they did before. This was not a difficult task, because the banknotes were so beautifully made that counterfeits were easily seen through. In fact, no one knew how the banknotes were printed so far. The only thing people know is that the banknotes also come from the south.
The dealer checked quickly a few times before. He just took a few random shots to check. But this time, the dealer checked very seriously. Not only did he carefully look through the banknotes Ash Rufate took out, but he also checked all the money he had lent before. His serious and obsessive attitude would be completely insulted if it was really investigated.
But in the end, he put the money back in dejection.
"No problem." The dealer announced. He looked at Ash Rufate's pocket—he had just stuffed the other bills back—and then looked at the white-eyed wolf-eyed man with a white face. The latter had already sat back with a pale face and a trembling body.
The two opponents looked at each other. The wolf-eyed man suddenly realized that he had been playing with by the other party. This incident was a conspiracy from head to toe! This Asu Ruffat had several thousand gold Oli hidden in him. He also played with him with this sinister and conservative attitude, which made him cheat him up his wounds again and again. Now he was completely finished!
"Do you still need to raise the bet?" Ashu Rufate asked, looking at the other person with a very naive expression.
The wolf-eyed man's eyes narrowed, revealing the gaze of the hungry wolf about to pounce on his prey. His hand quickly made an action in the air, which was a signal to his companion.
Ashu Rufate leaned back, and in an instant, he turned the man and the chair one hundred and eighty degrees, and was just in a row with the thugs who rushed up. His movements were so fast that it was hard to describe. In the blink of an eye, he had already grabbed the first thug, grabbed the other party's neckline with the power of an arm and lifted it up in the air. Then he threw it hard towards the wall in the distance. The man flew straight over like a leather bag, and collapsed on the ground with a dull impact.
The leader ended up like this, and the remaining few people were not only stunned. Then they saw Ashu Rufate looking at them with a cruel and cold expression.
It must be said that these thugs are very good because their first reaction is not to escape, but to reach out to grab a weapon.
However, it is not a good choice to get weapons in front of the enemy. Ash Rufat slashed a guy's neck fiercely, and the latter fell head-on. The third one just took out his dagger and fell fiercely on his chest and abdomen. The punch almost knocked out his internal organs - the thug arched his body like a shrimp, then his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground while vomiting in his mouth, unable to move any more.
These few times, the rabbits were extremely neat. Ashu Rufate turned his head and found that both the dealer and the wolf-eyed man were stunned. The audience around avoided it. Because he was moving too fast just now, the people around him were not affected at all.
"If you don't raise the bet, I'll add it." He reached out and took out some banknotes. "Add twenty gold orleys. Do you still raise it?"
This time, he could no longer see the confusion and innocence that had been disguised as before. The people present, especially the wolf-eyed man and the dealer who were closest to him, felt a suffocating momentum.
This did not come from Ash Rufate's expression. Because Ash Rufate's expression was very calm at this time, neither distorted by anger nor unable to control himself because of excitement. But it was this expression, in conjunction with his movements, that his eyes made him so terrifying in an instant. The dealer's body was stiff, because he saw an essence that was not human in the eyes of this man named Ash Rufate. The eyes ejected from his eyes were not that crazy, full of fanaticism, killing and blood, but a cold, cruel and creepy thing, which seemed to skip the rational part of his mind and hook him up.
The fear deep in human heart. It is like when a person is walking in the dark forest and sees a pair of glowing eyes that suddenly appear in the dark - at this time, humans do not need to see the body of the predator or its minions clearly. He does not need these direct evidence. He only relies on the instinct deep in his heart to understand that he is facing a danger that cannot be defeated by his own strength. Although the wolf-eyed man is a complete gangster and one of the most craziest criminals, human instinctive fear still overcomes everything. He faces Ash Rufate's gaze and shakes his head mechanically in extreme fear.
"Then I won, right?" Ashu Rufate turned toward the dealer. The feeling he had just now suddenly disappeared, and he returned to his original harmless appearance. Of course, the few thugs on the ground who could not move proved that this was a disguise.
"Yes, you won." The dealer actually felt a chill on his back. Fortunately, this matter had nothing to do with him, because he had no chance to deal and cheat, and no one could blame him. If the boss came back, he only needed to report the specific process in detail. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the wolf-eyed man. The latter's face had turned into a dead gray, and his eyes were staring ahead without any attention, just like the kind of dying man who had lost his will to live.
"Very good." Ashu Rufat hugged the gambling money on the gambling table toward him without hesitation. "Oh, by the way, please return my loan note to me, I will repay the money immediately. By the way, give me a big money bag."
Ashu Rufate looked back and found Grey in the crowd. The latter looked blue and stood in the crowd without moving. However, when he noticed Ashu Rufate looking at him, Grey secretly moved backwards and quickly disappeared.
The casino delayed the issue of getting the IOU for a long time. After a while, someone took the IOU that Ash Rufate had signed before and took the corresponding gold coins from his spoils. Even so, the remaining gold coins and silver coins were still stuffed with a large wallet full of money.
"Everyone." While Asus Ruffat was packing up the spoils, several people suddenly walked in outside. The leader was a middle-aged man with a slightly white hair, about fifty years old, and kind-hearted eyebrows.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, because there's something urgent, this casino has to be closed temporarily." The man announced loudly. "If it causes inconvenience to everyone, I feel deeply regretful. As compensation, I would like to invite everyone to have a free drink in the next tavern."
As the guests complained and left, Ashu Rufate also left. He walked past the man, but the latter just looked at him without any movement.
After the last guest left, the door of the room was closed. However, before the door was closed, Ashurufat clearly heard a sound leaking out of the crack of the door.
"I heard you misappropriated my vault." It was the voice of the middle-aged man, with a gentle and calm voice. But before Ashu Rufate walked out of the casino gate, he heard another voice sounding from the room.
It was a shrill scream.
...
Gray returned to his office step by step. The first thing he did when he sat down was to pour himself a large glass of water and drink it all.
Today's things are a turn of twists and turns, unexpected. Even Lyle didn't expect this situation. In fact, Lyle's idea sounds good - all bad ideas are like a good idea before they are proven to be a bad idea - that is, to find a way to make Ashu Rufate owe a considerable gambling debt. In this way, his marriage will be dangerous. With the personality of Countess Marianne, it is hard to imagine that she can accept such a prodigal niece and let him
Come to the door with a debt. What's even better is that this debt is an on-the-top temporary loan that will not incur additional expenses, but as long as the debtor cannot repay the money on the same day, the debt will immediately become a huge loan that is more profitable than usury. Soon it will expand into an astronomical figure that no one can repay. As long as Ashu Rufate hides it for a while - in the original plan, this will inevitably happen - then there will be no suspense about the following things immediately.
And this marriage was originally a temporary agreement. As long as the witness Countess Marianne opposes it, it is self-evident what will happen below.
But things seemed to be a little beyond control. Ashu Rufate was not a "poor and lowly" mercenary as Lyle said, but a rich man. Not to mention anything else, today he actually found at least two thousand gold Oli. Even the gentry and nobles of this level would be jealous.
No wonder Countess Marianne agreed to the marriage.
That Ashu Rufate... must have had an insight into the whole thing. Grey remembered the fact that Ashu Rufate defeated three people in one go. People from mercenaries were indeed cruel enough to fight. If he came to seek revenge on him...
Grey felt a little scared. He drank another glass of water, and after calming down, he remembered that he didn't need to be so scared. After all, this place was in the city and there was a sheriff in charge. Even if Ashu Rufate wanted to take revenge on him, it didn't matter, he just needed to be careful when going out. Besides, no matter what the final result was, he had offended Ashu Rufate. He had already figured out this point.
A knock on the door suddenly came from outside. Ge Rui subconsciously called "Come in".
Ashu Rufate walked in from outside. Because of guilt, Grey jumped up from his seat.
"You...you...why are you here?" He wanted to say, "I will call the patrol team to come soon", but this sentence only rolled in his throat and never came out. Now he realized that he actually didn't have much courage. Even if he had already realized this situation in advance, his knees were still a little weak.
Everyone knows that mercenaries are doing business of licking blood from the knife. No one knows what consequences will happen if they annoy such outlaws.
"Grey, why are you leaving alone?" Ashu Rufat said calmly. "I packed up my things and looked for you, but I couldn't find them."
"I..." Grey also calmed down. Decades of rolling in the mall allowed him to develop a good skill to observe his words and expressions. There is no doubt that Ashu Rufate had long understood that this matter was a conspiracy, but he took this opportunity to make a fortune.
But now Ashu Rufate looks ignorant, which shows that Ashu Rufate does not want to turn against him. This is a way to lie. Through this lie, Ashu Rufate tacitly expressed that he was willing to take a step back, not blame the past, and keep the relationship in the past unchanged. After all, Grey is just a clown who has been used for all.
"Sorry... there are too many people... I can't find you... I have to come back." Grey said.
