my old life

Chapter 2480 Crossroads of Life

Mike and I never had a friendship of equals, he gave me too much to say no to him.

But all of these are my own choices, and I can't blame others for my own decisions, and I owe him the same.

If I had been alone in Midtown, it wouldn't necessarily have been a failure, because this time I wasn't alone... I had Mike as my back.

In fact, taking a step back, there is Mr. Cruz behind Mike, and I am not only representing myself.

This time I have unprecedented strength, because Mike and I have a common opponent, so we can naturally use their connections and relationships.

As the saying goes, leaning against a big tree can enjoy the shade, and with Mr. Cruz's face, Mr. Hou should not go too far. At least he should not look at the monk's face but also at the Buddha's face.

But if Mr. Hou had conspired with the whale shark long ago to turn his back on him, the first one delivered to his door would be cannon fodder!
In any case, there is no good fruit to be the first to go, so I have to avoid being the first now, this is my top priority!
I put out my cigarette and went out to find Mike. What should come will always come.
I have faced so many powerful opponents, I have cried, I have laughed, I have been crazy, I have been crazy, but I have never been frightened!

"Hawkeye, it looks like you're in good spirits." Jennifer teased, Jones and the others were ready to go.

"Of course, life is too short to enjoy yourself in time!"

Mike brought a group of people to the Atlantic Casino, which looked much better than yesterday's casino, no matter in terms of scale or popularity, it was not at the same level.

The casino is only a part of this huge entertainment city, and more is the popular performance and visual experience.

When you enter the casino, you don't see the gaming tables and gaming tables at a glance. Instead, there are exotic performances, some like Indian dances, and some like Persian dances...

After the scale of the casino reaches a level, not only relying on the casino to make money, but also various tourism and trade also play an important role.

Many tourists entered the casino and looked around. Their reactions were no different from those who came to the casino for the first time, their eyes glowing eagerly.

If only tourists come to gamble, the casino will close sooner or later, mobile gamblers only occupy a small part, and it will take a lot of effort to convert them into gamblers.

The most common way is to present meal coupons and discounted rooms. Attracting people to live in a hotel is the first step. The longer the stay, the greater the possibility of consumption.

In fact, not everyone in this world approves of gambling, nor is everyone willing to gamble... Many people's values ​​are against the vice of gambling.

Before a person's values ​​are not infected by gambling, he will never look down on other industries. Only gamblers who are deeply involved in it will despise normal labor income.

Because winning money at the gambling table is too fast, so fast that people cannot extricate themselves from addiction, and it is also a rate of return that cannot be given by any other industry.

A person may win money in a short period of time, but he will not have the last laugh. It will always be the casino and the banker who have the last laugh.

Behind the performance stage is the gambling table in the lobby. It seems that there are many people there. If you look closely, there are more people standing than sitting.

This is a characteristic of a typical running water field. There are more people watching than gambling. In fact, when a person is watching gambling, he is already close to gambling.

All gamblers have a step-by-step process, from curiosity to onlookers, from small gamblers to big gamblers, and no one gambles their entire net worth as soon as they come up.

The fall of the enemy is a long-term process. Don't do it when the good is small, and don't do it when the evil is small.

During the viewing process, some people will be eager to try their luck and try their luck with a generation of money. There is nothing wrong with this kind of people with an entertainment mentality, and the number of them is generally not too large.

Behind the Atlantic Casino are all kinds of shops, all luxury shops, ranging from watches to jewelry.

People who win money don't care about spending money to enjoy it, and people who lose money don't have the ability to spend. This place looks like a typical heaven and hell.

After passing through the casino lobby, you come to an entertainment private room. The decoration inside is not bad, but it is slightly inferior compared to other places.

A few foreign girls came in and started dancing, a bunch of colorful foreign wine was opened, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.

I don't know why at this moment, I am a little eager, longing for the stimulation brought by alcohol, longing for the short-term paralysis brought by alcohol.

Mike hooked his fingers at me, and I immediately moved to his side.

"Hawkeye, I'm going to let you lurk beside Mr. Hou, are you confident?"

"Can I do it?" I didn't agree directly, not knowing what Mike's plan was.

"Of course, they don't know who you are. You are the only one among us who is a stranger."

As soon as I heard this, I instantly understood that what he was referring to was not Mr. Hou but the whale shark!

"Is it a whale shark? Has he seen others?"

"That's right, he has never met you. This is a unique advantage...you know what I mean."

Now it seems that I am the most suitable person to lurk, because the whale shark does not know me and will not be exposed.

"I know, but they shouldn't trust me easily, let alone let me join."

I expressed my worries, but there was no reasonable way, and even if I went, people would be suspicious.

"Don't worry about this, they have a secret casino, and I will arrange for you to go in then."

When I heard this, I nodded. Mike's arrangement must have a plan. As for the plan, he never told anyone in advance.

If I want to lurk beside Third Master Hou, then I can only rely on Qianshu to enter the casino, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to sneak in.

The whale shark has never seen me, but he should be on guard against anyone, whether it is early or late, I will be full of suspicion...

Because the timing of my appearance was too coincidental, whoever appeared after the whale shark's betrayal, could he be unprepared?

In other words, if the whale shark has doubts, then Mr. Hou will definitely kill me immediately. After all, in the world of rivers and lakes, we never pay attention to evidence.

"Hawkeye, relax and experience the style of Atlantic City!" Jones teased from a distance, and I raised my glass to signal.

The world of feasting and feasting in front of me seems to be relaxing, and it also seems to be the last carnival of everyone, enjoying the stability and quiet of the last moment.

In comparison, Jones and the others have a better mentality, never considering any opponent, just obeying Mike's arrangements.

In fact, everything has two sides. If everything is arranged, you will naturally be comfortable, but you will also be the first person to be treated as cannon fodder.

Time flew by, and I didn't give up drinking until after three o'clock in the morning. I don't know how much I drank and I felt dizzy.

As the saying goes, if you use wine to pour your sorrows away, you will be more sorrowful, and if you cut off the water with a knife, the water will flow even more.

Going back to the room and falling asleep, only alcohol can give me a temporary relief, freeing me from the heavy burden in my heart...

In a way, alcohol really is a man's best friend.

When I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, so I packed my things and left early.

According to Mike's plan, they parted ways in Atlantic City, and they went directly to the third master Hou in Midtown, and I went to Xiaomengla for a circle.

Mike gave me a three-day rest period. In fact, I knew that this was a sign that he needed manpower. Although he didn't say it clearly, I could understand the meaning of these three days.

I said earlier that some friends needed to be hired by myself, which was an excuse, but after Mike gave me enough time, I couldn't go back empty-handed.

But Mike must have never imagined that this time I might not come back...

Before boarding the plane, I called in advance to inform the soldiers that I was going back, so that someone could pick me up at the airport...

The moment I got on the plane, I felt inexplicably relaxed, as if I got rid of all the shackles and shackles, and rushed to the blue sky freely!

Time flies by, and I don't feel any tiredness after more than ten hours of flying. This is the relaxation from the heart.

When I got off the plane, I felt that the air was full of heat. Xiaomengla seemed to have entered the summer, and she would feel sweaty wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

Walking out of the waiting hall and looking around, a sudden shout shocked me!
"Sanming!"

I turned my head and saw that it was Da Bing, Huben and the others, and even Xiao Ke and the others were coming, rushing towards me stupidly one by one!
