Chapter 22 Trap

"Treat..." As Ashu Rufate considered the word, he began to doubt that Grey meant to drink. Can gambling treats? Or, this businessman named Grey is really rich enough to treat guests? Besides, he invited not a close-know friend, but an ordinary friend who had only met once or twice.

"I'll treat you!" Grey slapped his chest. "Let's go!"

Although Grey may be new and cannot open up commercial situations for the time being, it seems that he is already very familiar with the city's entertainment venues. After making a few turns, he took Ashu Rufate to the entrance of a gambling hall. After entering, Ashu Rufate realized that there was no bargaining chip here.

"Small place, not that trouble." Grey noticed Ashrufate's doubts. "No need for chips here, just use coins."

"So...what is this counter doing?"

"It's for loan." Grey walked to the counter, "I want to borrow two hundred silver coins, Big Silver Oli."

The other party took out a draft IOU, then Ge Rui signed the letter, and a purse was taken out from the counter and fell into Ge Rui's hand.

"How is it, is it convenient?" Grey boasted with a smile, "No interest will be charged within a day." He turned to the counter again and said. "Give me this friend two hundred silver coins."

The waiter at the counter handed out an IOU, signaling Ashrufate to sign.

No, didn’t Grey say to treat him just now?... Why... Ashu Rufate was thinking about it. Grey had already taken the IOU first and wrote his name on it. Ashu Rufate noticed that he signed it in the "Guarantor" column.

"Don't worry," Grey handed him the IOU. "I'll be the guarantor, so you can feel at ease."

"The guarantor, that is, if I lose money..."

"If you can't pay, I will pay." Grey laughed. "I said I'd treat you."

It turned out to be this way to treat you.

This casino is not very big. There are dice, roulette and other classic gambling methods outside. But what is rare is that the people here all look like "high-quality people". They dress up well and do not make any special noise. However, Grey, who led the way, seemed to have no intention of joining these games at all. He just walked straight through these gambling tables.

"Ashrufat, I never play these lucky things." Grey pointed to the people who were concentrating on the side of the roulette. "If the outcome of a game depends entirely on luck, I think it is very unfair. For example, this roulette is simply betting on black and white or numbers. The result has nothing to do with the participants. As a player, you cannot control the result - in fact, the player is just a bystander and can only entrust everything to fate and the gods."

"Isn't this the norm on earth?" Ashu Rufate asked with a smile.

"But in this way, personal efforts are completely meaningless. So I still prefer playing cards." He continued to move forward.

"But the quality of the card depends entirely on luck. If it is a bad hand, it is absolutely impossible to play a good card."

"You can't see this way. If you are playing cards, the effect of luck will be greatly reduced." Gray replied. "You know, although playing cards also requires some luck - I don't deny this - but the outcome depends on the player's courage and judgment. Because the outcome of playing cards is not just about winning more times, but the total amount of winning or losing. I saw a master playing cards at the sky level. That day, his luck was very bad, which was incredibly different. In one afternoon, he almost touched all the bad cards. He won three games in the general attack, but in these three games, he won more money than the other dozens of games. Do you think he won or lost?"

"It makes sense to say that," Ash Rufate replied.

"That's it. This is the truth of the human world: Although luck is important, personal ability is the key. People with good luck can gain power in a short period of time - but a real strong man will definitely have more than luck. Am I right?"

While they were talking, they entered the room. As Grey introduced, there was a card table, and several people were sitting next to the table and playing cards. Although that was the case, the gambling money placed on the table was much more than outside. The eyes were full of yellow and white.

It can be seen that these people who are playing cards are not the casino staff. The real staff are on the side and are dealing cards for several people.

This was just a very normal scene. However, Ashu Rufate suddenly felt his mind shock, and a familiar but vague memory emerged from his mind. This feeling was much stronger than the flash of inspiration before... It seemed that a long time ago, he had also stood in a similar place, watching another group of similar people at the gambling table...

At that time, there seemed to be a man standing beside him, whispering to him about the various tricks in the casino.

"Ash Rufate, Ash Rufate? What's wrong with you?"

"No... nothing." Ashu Rufa decided to calm down. "It's just distracted."

His eyes looked at the gamblers who were playing cards again. Suddenly, he realized that one of them was not a gambler, but a person from the casino. Although he dressed like a foreign guest and spoke obviously without a local accent, he had a pair of green eyes, and he looked at the other people with cold eyes from time to time. The hungry and cunning eyes were like a hungry wolf watching the rabbit enter the ambush range. A gambler who aims to enter the entertainment industry would never have such a look.

Of course, the gambling money in front of him is also the highest at the moment.

Ashu Rufate continued to observe, and then he found more flaws. Some ordinary people were difficult to pay attention to, but there were flaws. Ashu Rufate vaguely had a vague impression that a long time ago, a man was by his side, whispering and in detail to him various skills in observing other people's details in the casino. However, after a brief trance, he found that he could not remember who that person was at all.

Sure enough... no matter what kind of casino, will you play this kind of cheating trick?

At this time, it was the last time the dealer dealer dealer had dealt. The slightly fat dealer was very quick, with his two fingers jumping on the pile like magic, and cards were sent out one by one, as fast as cards flying by themselves. Although it seemed like everything was normal, Ash Rufate suddenly found that the dealer sent the wrong order of cards when dealing - he sent the cheater a card that should not belong to him.

Didn’t anyone else notice such an obvious cheating move? Is it because I was overly keen, or did anyone else care?

The result of the game was soon revealed. The highest stack of bets and gold added some heights, while the other three losers stood up with frustration and sighing, announcing the end of the game with practical actions. There were several other bystanders around, but as the winner was full of luck, they did not fear death and continued to try.

"Let's go and try?" Grey suggested to Ashu Rufate enthusiastically.

"But..." Ashu Rufate actually felt that this was just giving money to the tiger's mouth. Isn't this a public cheating? Such an unfair gambling has no chance to win at all. But as many people looked at it, he couldn't tell the other party about cheating. After all, the dealer was very quick just now, but now he said that he was dead without evidence.

"Oh, sir, are you afraid?" The man with hungry wolf eyes suddenly said to Ashu Rufate. He looked at Ashu Rufate with a contemptuous look, with a naked provocative attitude in his eyes. To be honest, Ashu Rufate clearly felt the other party's deliberately artificial attitude, which was a deliberate teasing of him. He turned his head and looked at Grey beside him.

Grey seemed to be completely distracted, and turned a blind eye to the stranger's impolite provocative attitude, and just kept encouraging Ashrufate to go up and participate in gambling. This was very abnormal.

It turns out...is it a trap?

Ashu Rufate became interested. He wanted to go to the table to lose the two hundred silver coins, then pat his butt and leave. Anyway, the guarantor on the IOU said that Grey was written. But the attitude of the strange cheating gambler made him feel very uncomfortable. Ashu Rufate felt that he was either a noble person (this seems unlikely) or a person who had always longed for a noble person because he found that he could not tolerate the other person's arrogance at this moment.

Although it was a kind of arrogance deliberately disguised.

"Okay, come and try." He stepped forward two steps and sat down at the edge of the table. Grey sat down as well. But they waited for a while and never waited for another participant. There were quite a few people watching around. I don't know if they were afraid of losing here, but at least it seemed that none of them had the intention to sit down.

"Sir, I'm afraid I can't start without a fourth person." The dealer said politely. He seemed to be just keeping a professional smile, but Ashu Rufate still saw a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Then I'll quit, so I can play the two-man match." Grey stood up hurriedly.

Asu Ruffat actually wanted to ask Gri directly, what are the benefits of tricking him into here? But he still watched Gri leave the table with a smile.

"Can you start with the two?" The man with wolf eyes was talking. He seemed a little impatient. "But you should put your bet book first."

As he said, Ash Rufat put the purse of two hundred silver coins on the table. When he saw the silver coins, the other party burst into laughter.

"You're here to bet on such a little money...you're going to bet on such a little money?" The fake guy smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, and couldn't breathe.

Ashu Rufate became more and more sure that this matter was a trap at all. A gambler, especially a rich gambler, had to show a little gentlemanly demeanor. It was obvious that a arrogant guy like this was obviously abnormal.

"It depends on how much money it costs?"

"The rules here are like this." The dealer next to him said with a professional smile. "Guest, if you don't have enough funds, you may suffer a big loss. Because there are no upper limits for the cards here. In other words, if you get a good hand, I mean you have a sure win card, and you can choose to increase your bet with wise choices."
