Chapter 1157 Gambling scam?
[A bizarre casino].
Inside the luxuriously decorated box on the second floor.
Hansel, dressed in an elegant suit, was the first to pull out a high-back chair for Fireball. After the young man sat down, he quickly walked to the other end of the round table and sat down silently.
Fireball withdrew his gaze from the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and looked at Hansel with a smile:
"The casino is developing very well. I can see that you put a lot of thought into it. You have worked so hard."
"No, no, this is what I should do." Hansel took off the mask of wealth on his face, smiled flatteringly and said:
"And the casino is what it is today, all thanks to your good planning, Boss Lu!"
"In the end, I'm just following your instructions. I don't even need to use my brain, let alone any credit. Haha..."
Upon hearing this, Huoqiuli seemed to be extremely satisfied and the smile on his face became even wider.
He leaned back slightly, leaning against the comfortable high-back chair.
When Hansel's laughter gradually died down, Huoqiuli suddenly stopped smiling and said with a slightly grim expression:
"Hansel, do you still remember the bet we made?"
"Bet?" Hansel was startled. He noticed the change in the young man's expression and couldn't help but become nervous.
"Uh, which one was it?"
"I monitor countless gambling games every day. I have forgotten some of the things that happened so long ago. Haha..."
"I made you lose the game at the casino." Huoqiuli reminded him calmly:
"You could forget this?"
"Uh." Hansel's eyes turned quickly and he smiled awkwardly:
"Oh, that, I remember. Of course I remember!"
"That's the game you chose, roll the dice, right?"
"Oh my, I have to say, you were really lucky back then..."
"Yeah, you still remember it, which means your memory is not bad." Huoqiuli also laughed, but his eyes were still cold.
Hansel laughed awkwardly and continued with a stammer:
"How could I possibly forget something like this? It's not like that sealed memory..."
"Really?" Huoqiuli raised his eyebrows, and his tone suddenly became relaxed and no longer so aggressive:
"So has the sealed memory been loosened?"
Hansel heard the question and answered as before:
"No, it's as solid as the daily flow of customers in the casino."
"Really?" Huoqiuli raised his eyebrows again, and moved away from the back of the chair, leaning forward slightly:
"But why do I feel like you are 'lying' to me?"
"Uh... How dare I lie to you? You are the owner of this casino..." Hansel's smile became a little difficult:
"No matter how capable I am, I am just a weirdo working for you."
"Working for a job and cheating the boss is like seeking death, thinking your life is too long..."
"But what if your 'authority' is related to 'lying'?" Huoqiuli interrupted, his emotions not changing:
"Power, authority?" Hansel frowned slightly.
This small movement caused the monocle clamped in front of his left eye to sink into the flesh, leaving two bloody marks.
"I don't know what you mean." Hansel said with a forced smile:
"But if the 'authority' you're referring to is the ownership of the casino that I lost in the past 'rolling dice' game, then it's appropriate to call it related to 'lying'."
"After all, nine out of ten gambling cases are scams..."
After listening to Hansel's explanation, Fireball Li Jing sneered and shook his head:
"No, the 'authority' I'm talking about is the authority held by God."
"The authority you hold should be related to 'lying'."
Hearing this, Hansel at the other end of the round table was silent for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter.
And it seemed like the laughter could not be stopped, making Hansel more and more excited, until finally, he couldn't control his coughing.
Fireball waited quietly without interrupting.
Wait until Hansel has laughed enough, then take the initiative to speak:
"Boss Lu, I am weird. No matter how powerful I am, I can't hold the authority that only gods can hold!"
"I don't even have the most basic qualifications to become a god, so how can I hold power?"
"Really?" Huoqiuli raised his eyebrows for the third time, with the same inquiring tone as before.
But Hansel clearly felt that there was a lot more mockery in this rhetorical question.
This subtle change in tone made Hansel shudder violently, and he couldn't help but recall the 'dice rolling' gambling game at that time.
The bet that cost him the ownership of the casino...
wrong,
He was so drunk at that time!
What you lose is not only the ownership of the casino!
And his life!
But Lu Li was generous and did not take it away.
Instead, he used his life to exchange for his loyalty.
This man chosen by the 'king' never seems to bluff.
Since you have already adopted such a determined attitude of questioning,
This proves that he probably already knows something.
Do you want to continue hiding it?
He will die...
Hansel couldn't help but weigh the risks and benefits in his mind.
But before he could open his mind, Huoqiuli's voice sounded again:
"Actually, old man, there is something I have never told you."
"In my job transfer secret realm, there is a completely white palace."
"And inside that palace, there is a wall with grooves and a large number of runes engraved on it."
"I copied down the above content and gave it to the expert group for translation. Recently, there has been a new breakthrough..."
Hearing this, Hansel's pupils trembled slightly.
And Huoqiuli paused for a moment and asked with a smile:
"guess what?"
"The runes engraved on the monument are actually a secret history. It says that Hansel is a fallen deity, the only loyal follower of fear and revenge, but a betrayer..."
"Enough!" Hansel yelled suddenly and slammed his hands on the table, forcibly interrupting Fireball's narration.
The round table formed by the power of rules exploded into pieces in an instant, but then was quickly pieced together again, and the cracks disappeared, as if it had never been broken.
"I beg you... don't mention the name of 'the king'..."
Hansel's trembling voice came out from between his teeth. As he spoke, his five fingers dug deeply into the round table, digging into the wood inside and making a creaking sound.
Fireball Li stopped talking in surprise, looked at the strange man opposite him who suddenly lost control of his emotions, and said softly:
“Are you that afraid of Him?”
"You didn't even dare to mention His name. How dare you instigate the gods to betray Him?"
Hansel opened his mouth to speak back, but Fireball raised his hand to stop him the next second.
The young man put his arms in front of him and supported his entire upper body on the edge of the round table.
His eyes are sharp, like a tiger playing with its prey.
"Wait, don't tell me yet, let me guess."
"'A loyal follower of fear and revenge'... Assuming that the words engraved on the stone wall are true, then you certainly did not betray for the sake of betrayal."
"Ah, let me think about it... you want to have another authority, so as to achieve the goal of holding dual authority and ascend from Asian God to True God, right?"
