More than one simple theft happened in the alley. The owner chased forward for a short distance, and then suddenly found himself surrounded by five or six strangers.

The little thief who was still running away just now turned around and his face was full of malicious smiles. The little thief was indeed bare-handed, but the people lying here were all holding weapons.

"You...what do you want to do..." After understanding that he fell into the trap, the owner's face turned pale. He chased him too far and went deep into the alley. Now even if he shouted, it was too late. These people could stab him a few times before someone came and then leave calmly. No one even came over.

"We didn't want to do anything!" The leading gangster made a hint to his companion, so the little thief who had just led his prey into a trap threw the wallet he had just stolen to the leader and ran out to serve as a warning. "Actually, the brothers just want to make a living, so I hope the boss will appreciate his face."

It can be seen from the situation that these people are lying here in ambushing them, because their wallets have already fallen into their hands.

"We heard that the adults have been very glorious in the casino recently. They have won a lot of money in continuous bets." When the leader spoke, he weighed the wallet in his hand. It was obvious that the weight of the wallet was not in line with his wishes, so he didn't even have the interest to open it. "I think it would be a bit troublesome to spend so much money by one person. Why not just give the brothers a fraction of the money?"

The unlucky owner took a few steps back and leaned his back against the wall. His three aspects were surrounded by the other party, and he had nowhere to escape even if he wanted to.

"I...I..."

"That's the little you have on you, I know." The leader shook his wallet. "There is no oil in your inn, and my brothers have visited it. So, I think you may have saved your money in a certain chamber of commerce. We have many branches of chamber of commerce here."

"I..." The unlucky guy who fell into the trap looked around desperately, trying to find a way to escape. He had already understood that the other party might have been hired by the casino - this kind of thing is not common, but it is never rare - and had already figured out his situation clearly.

There were six people around, each of whom was a big, thick, full of flesh on his face, and you could tell that it was very fierce at first glance. Except for the leader's empty hand, the other five were holding sharp weapons such as knives and axes.

"You have found the wrong person... I don't have money..." The unlucky guy was making his final efforts. But to be honest, with his expression at the moment, as long as someone with a normal mind can tell that he is lying.

"What a joke!" The leader's expression changed suddenly. The laughter just now disappeared, replaced by extreme violence. "Do you treat me as a fool? I know you won at least one hundred gold coins there yesterday! Hello." His last word was shouting to his companion, and at the same time made a gesture of "destroying a few parts of him."

A scream came from the alley.

The six robbers looked at the source of the sound in surprise. On their side, the little thief who had visited the wind before was thrown to the ground. The scream just now was exactly what the little thief called out.

Next to the thief, there was a stranger standing. This stranger was dressed in a common traveler, that is, wearing a leather long-sleeved top and trousers of the same texture, linen underwear, a cloak with a long sword on his waist. Except for the cloak that looked smooth and neat, the others were all very ordinary goods from the roadside shop. At this moment, the stranger looked at them with a cold expression, but did not take the initiative to speak.

The leader immediately took action. He made several quick gestures to his companions. The three companions continued to look at the prey, and the other two followed the leader and faced Cheng Yaojin who was fighting out halfway.

"What do you want to do?" Because the stranger didn't seem to be planning to speak on his own initiative, the leader spoke first.

"It's okay to steal someone else's stuff, but if you want to hurt someone," the stranger finally spoke. "It's too much."

"Do you know, these days, even the chivalrous and righteous people can't live long."

"What a pity, although I am not a knight, I am also a person who does not believe in evil."

Although the other party was so calm, it felt a bit inappropriate, but the leader was already on the string at this time. He pulled out a close-fitting dagger from behind and rushed forward with his two subordinates.

The other four people watched the battle. Rather than saying it was a show. The stranger pinched the leader's wrist with a dazzling speed, twisting his wrist directly with powerful force. The leader staggered back and his dagger had been taken away by a stranger. Another robber with an iron-headed wooden stick rushed up from the side, but before his iron-headed wooden stick was swung out, the stranger directly pierced his arm with a dagger. Then the stranger snatched the iron-headed wooden stick he had taken off his hand and knocked the third one to the ground with one blow.

In about ten seconds, the three robbers completely lost their combat power. The stranger threw down the iron-headed wooden stick as if nothing had happened, and looked at the remaining three stunned robbers, as well as the robber leader holding his broken arm and trembling with pain and fear.

"If you want to continue, I welcome you."

"Let's go!" The leader finally made the right choice. They took their injured and unconscious companions and hurriedly evacuated from the other side of the alley. Even the wallet was thrown on the ground and not taken away.

Ashu Rufat watched them go away until he was completely out of sight before turning around and trying to leave.

"Wait a minute, sir!" The unlucky guy caught up from behind, and a thank-you speech that was so enthusiastic that he had already blurted out.

"You don't have to thank you so much, I just..." Ashu Rufate wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't get into the conversation at all. This man spoke very quickly, and had rich vocabulary and varied. In fact, Ashu Rufate stood there for a long time (almost before he was exhausted) before finally waiting for the other party to finish his thanks. If he had known that the other party was such a long-term person, maybe he wouldn't have been involved in the kick.

"Sir, although I do not express my gratitude to you (Ashu Rufat smiled bitterly when he said this word), if the adults don't dislike me, I have a good thing to tell you."

"Good thing?"

"That's it..." The unlucky guy (or can now be changed to Lucky) looked at the ordinary and uncharacteristic clothes on Ash Rufat and suggested, "If the adults are willing to work with me, we can make a lot of money."

"Master, I suggest you listen to him carefully." Carrie suddenly said in his mind. "Your money... if it is travel expenses, it is very sufficient, but if it is activity expenses, it is probably not worth mentioning. If we approach the vampire as much as possible and as not to pay attention, you will need activity expenses."

Almost all of Ashrufate's money came from his belt - the belt that Thomas gave him, which Thomas gave him in the name of "Amulet" - was cleverly embedded with hundreds of gold coins. Although he spent very little, he still used up a considerable portion. Only the four certificates of deposit left to him by Thomas, and he had three left. But to be honest, the amount of the certificate of deposit was too large, and unless it was forced, it would be better not to take it out and exchange it.

"Don't call me Lord, my name is Ashu Rufate. Just call me Ashu Rufate." Ashu Rufate replied. "Tell me."

"My name is Cosbody." The man immediately turned a frown when he saw Ashu Rufat interested. "Maybe you haven't heard of me. In our business, I am called 'murdered Cosbody'."

Soon, Ashu Rufat finally understood that this man named Cosbody was a professional gambler, or more specifically, a gambling expert who wandered around, lingered in casinos everywhere, and was engaged in gambling. He encountered this unlucky thing today because he really won a game in the casino two days ago. He was so vigilant that he won too much, and he became very conspicuous, and finally brought about the danger today. For gamblers, there is not only the danger of losing gambling, but also the danger of winning gambling - too many eyes are watching you win money, and gold coins can always inspire people's greed.

The "good opportunity" Cosbody just mentioned is a large casino nearby. In fact, in the professional gambler industry, there are some public taboos, even if the gambling skills are high, they cannot be easily offended. For example, one of them is that you cannot win too much in a casino. Because in this case, the casino will definitely take revenge.

But Cosbody is an exception. Because he has no relatives and no reason, and is from another place, he is prepared for this. He especially leaves the largest casino and does not go there, just to make a fortune before leaving and then fly away.

This is how the abacus is, but Cosbody also has concerns. After all, he only has one person. If the other party loses and turns against him on the spot, he may be beaten up in a mess, and may even become the unclaimed corpse on the street.

Now with the help of Ashu Rufate, his confidence is five points higher.

Casino... There were also records about casinos in Thomas' diary. According to Thomas himself, he lost in the casino, but he had a lot of insights, especially the "unpredictable hearts". From then on, he strived for stability in his life, whether in officialdom or battlefield, and never took risks easily. But in this way, every time he took risks, he could do something unexpected and caught the enemy off guard.

"Is the so-called gambling technique the so-called cheating?" Asu Ruffatt asked unintentionally as he walked out of the alley with Cosbody.

"As long as it is related to a large amount of money, of course, you must cheat when you can." Cosbody said without blushing. "However, there are many gambling methods in the world that cannot be cheated. At this time, it will be a real test of your ability."

They walked out of the alley, and Mimilu and Nightmare Horse were waiting there. When they saw their master appear, the Nightmare Horse even sneezes, which was exactly the same as a live horse.

“I live in the ‘Prince’ Hotel, the best hotel in the city.” Cosbody advised enthusiastically. “As partners, we’d better live together and take care of each other.”
