Chapter 372 Lady Luck Has Never Left Me
Unknowingly, the time came to the second night. At this time, the captain invited all the passengers in the VIP cabin to a dinner. The address of the dinner was the lobby on the first floor.

Locke joined Ashley and the others and came to the hall. The music was already playing. The captain, who was a little thin and wrinkled, first made a few opening speeches, and then Mr. Canton, who was the protagonist, made a speech with champagne. speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of myself and Captain Atherton, I extend a warm welcome to you on the maiden voyage of the Argonaut.

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, which is to build the most advanced, most extravagant and most expensive luxury cruise ship in the world.

Just tonight, seeing all of you, so beautiful, so graceful, so rich... I realized my dream has come true and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dream come true!
For the sake of the Argonaut, the good times will last forever! "

Finally, Mr. Canton raised his wine glass, and after drinking with all the VIP passengers in the luxurious cabins, the banquet officially began.

When the music started, the stage was given over to the dancers who were in charge of the performance, and the waiters who had prepared long ago served the passengers with exquisite meals and drinks.

Talking and laughing, enjoying the cheerful atmosphere, Peggy also called during the period, expressing her envy to Locke and others. After a few words, Hermione snatched the phone and chatted about interesting things on the boat.

Looking at the joyful atmosphere on the field, Locke looked at the time, guessing that Mr. Canton will start his action soon. He has no intention of stopping Lorraine's plan, but only intends to play the role of being "kidnapped". character of.

Of course, he also explained to Ashley and the others in advance, telling them not to leave his side for a long time tonight, as long as they don't run around, there is no danger.

Not to mention that Lorraine is his own, even if there are really hundreds of robbers, it is just a small scene for Locke, so he is quite calm.

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

At this moment, there was an indistinct sound, which made Locke frowned, and then began to look around.

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

If it is still raining outside, the outdoor facilities on the deck have been temporarily closed, but this is obviously not the sound caused by the rain.

And the sound seemed to be coming from below, which made Locke look down. Most of the cabins below are staff, or Mr. Canton has already started to act, but the main control computer of the cruise ship is not in the cabin below. !
Intuition felt that something was wrong, but he observed the entire cruise ship with a mental scan, and found nothing special.

"Danger detection." After thinking for a while, Locke cast a spell, but found nothing. Danger detection can detect the existence of things that threaten Locke, but after casting it, there is still nothing, and no dangerous people or things are found.

Just at this time, I saw Leonard running over with 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's not a good habit to start imagining things before they happen." Leonard laughed.

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

Since the danger detection did not find any special danger, it means that even if there is any situation, the threat to Locke is not great, so he did not hold on to that weird voice all the time, no matter what it is, wait until it appears .

Now, it is more important to slaughter the fat sheep first. After waiting for two hours, the agreed time is up, and the people in Lorraine start to act, so there is no chance.

In front of the prepared gaming table, Locke saw Carlot Youying and two other gamblers. It was a five-player game, but except for Leonard, the others were accompanied by a female companion. At this time They all drank tea and chatted in front of a coffee table next to them.

Pulling out the seat, Locke glanced at the chips in front of Carlot Youying and the three of them, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that I have the least chips."

"Don't worry, there is still time to change or write a check later," said an old man in his 50s sitting next to Carlot Youying.

"It depends on whether the next situation requires me to write a check for chips on the spot. Let's start." Locke could recognize the other party as Joel, a shareholder of the oil company, and it seemed that he had something to do with Carlot. Friendship.

He didn't have any polite thoughts. Facing these old foxes who eat people and don't spit out their bones, if they are too polite, they will only make them look down on them. 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. After working with Locke as a personal assistant for the past two years, Ashley, who has been trained through training, is generous and easy to deal with.

Caroline is also very familiar with such occasions, but Fleur and Hermione seldom come into contact with such scenes, but they are just not familiar with the rules here, and there is no embarrassment at all. After all, in the fairy tale world, even real queens and princesses are seen.

……

"Mr. Joel, two pairs!"

"Mr. Locke, Shunzi!"

"Mr. Locke wins!"

After the last hole card was revealed, the croupier announced the win or loss, and pushed all the chips in front of Locke, while Locke said with a smile on his face:

"I would also like to thank Mr. Joel for his help. In this way, I should not have to change extra chips."

It was a pity to take a look at Carlot Youying. This guy's cards were too bad, so he gave up earlier, and he basically didn't lose anything in this hand.

Leonard on the side looked at Locke's harvest, and couldn't help but feel a little hot. No wonder even those old gamblers who have earned enough money to retire dream of encountering such a "dream game" Well, money really comes quickly.

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

After getting two pairs, he actually bet 50 directly. This is definitely a high-quality big fat sheep.

In fact, 50 is really just a little pocket money for the few people sitting in front of the gaming table. They didn't care about the bets, and because of Locke's teasing, they couldn't help but smile amicably.

Even Joel, who lost money, laughed twice: "No way, there are not many opportunities to play cards with Locke, and it would not be good if you are out of the game all at once."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Joel for your generosity." Locke smiled and looked at Carlot Youying: "How is Mr. Youying's luck this time, shouldn't he continue to fold directly?"

"Of course not this time." Carlot Youying said, "It's just that I think you might as well exchange a little more chips now, 100 million."

With that said, Carlot Youying threw 100 million chips on the gaming table, and then looked at Locke: "Why, do you want to fold?"

"Of course I'm not going to fold. I just lament that Mr. You Ying is such a good man. Although his words are a bit harsh, he is rushing to give me money!"

"Are you so sure? I saw that you haven't looked at the cards yet."

"I believe that the goddess of luck has always been on my side." Locke shrugged, and then threw out 100 million chips.

"If you're too confident, it won't look good if you lose in a while."

"Then you have to lose."

Locke looked at Carlot Youying with a smile: "Ever since I learned how to play cards, Lady Luck has never left me."

"In that case..." Carlot Youying lifted his hole card.

"Mr. You Ying, three things!"

"Mr. Locke, Shunzi!"

"Mr. Locke wins."

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