Chapter 8 Psychology and Micro-expressions
What Link didn't know was that Wilson and Alexandra were here for a big reason, because his actions in Hell's Kitchen gave them an opportunity.
They had intended to cooperate, but it was only a preliminary contact, but when the opportunity came, they naturally didn't want to let it go, so they quickened their pace.
It was not appropriate to talk in New York, so they came to Las Vegas and met secretly here.
As for Tony Stark and Justin Hammer, they were originally rivals. They confronted each other at a cocktail party in New York, and then came here.
It was not easy to set up a card game, especially when Stark wanted to have a master, so Link appeared here.
Link tried psychology again, and deliberately lost in the first few games to observe the four people.
Hammer was a fool, and it was easy to find out his thoughts, and Stark's desire to win was too strong, so it was not difficult to observe.
As for Wilson, it was more difficult. He was a person who mixed both black and white, but there were flaws because he was absent-minded, but Alexandra was difficult.
This was still an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, and it was not so easy to reveal his inner thoughts.
Stark was unhappy at this time. He looked at Link and asked, "Are you really a master? Not a drunkard?"
"Winning first doesn't count as winning!" Link smiled and poured himself another glass of bourbon. He drank half of the bottle of wine, but he was not drunk at all. "Next, I will start to exert my strength. Mr. Stark should be ready!"
Alexandra on the side suddenly spoke, "This Mr. Lin has been observing all of us. Mr. Lin is proficient in psychology?"
Link did not hide it and said, "Yes, I studied psychology in college, and now I am a policeman, working at the West Midtown Branch."
"I came here on vacation this time. I didn't expect to meet you all at the poker table. I have some impression of Mr. Wilson, but I have no impression of Mrs. Alexandra at all."
"I am usually in London." Alexandra said, "It seems that I have to be careful now. Mr. Lin has completed the observation."
Stark became interested and immediately urged to deal the cards. Sure enough, Link started to win.
The more than one million that was lost before was quickly won back, and then began to harvest the four of them. Only then did the four of them show their importance. Money is a small matter, but losing face is not good.
Especially Alexandra, she thought she did not reveal any flaws, and she didn't know whether the other party really saw through her.
Link found a flaw in Alexandra at this time. The other party was very vigilant. Link couldn't see through her before, but he was cheating, so he was naturally killing all around.
And now the other party actually revealed a flaw. The calmer this old guy was before, the more uncalm he was now after losing.
Winning or losing is secondary. The key is that she thinks Link sees through her, which is not a good thing for her.
Wilson was interested. This young police officer actually has such a high level of psychological attainments. This is a talent!
Before midnight, the four had lost all their money. Stark asked curiously, "Lin, have you really seen through us?"
Link said, "Mr. Hammer is the easiest to see through..."
Justin Hammer's face turned black, and Stark laughed.
Link continued, "Mr. Stark's desire to win is too strong. You don't care about money, but you care about winning or losing."
Stark nodded slightly, admitting this.
Link turned his head to look at Wilson Fisk, "Mr. Wilson is absent-minded. He is thinking about other things."
Wilson said, "Indeed, Mr. Lin is very accurate in this."
"And the only one I didn't see through is Ms. Alexandra. She is the most calm one, more calm than the three of you gentlemen." Link commented on the last person.
Alexandra asked curiously, "So I lost in the end!"
"Micro-expressions, I not only know psychology, but also observe micro-expressions. Human facial expressions are generally difficult to control." Link said, "Especially the eyes. No matter what you see, you will subconsciously react in your eyes at the first time."
"Then there are facial muscles, especially the corners of the mouth, nose, and ears. Unless you have undergone rigorous training, you can basically see something."
"And Ms. Alexandra is obviously used to controlling everything. In the end, there are flaws in your heart, with doubts."
"This is a psychological trap. Everyone knows that I know psychology, but they don't know that I can observe micro-expressions."
"Wonderful!" Wilson Fisk praised, "It's worth the trip today. I met a master."
Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "So we can't beat Mr. Lin?"
"No, it's easy to beat me. Just use money to hit it, and then rely on luck to see who has better luck." Link said.
Indeed, if he does this, he has a high probability of not winning, after all, there are five people!
Of course, he could choose not to follow and wait until he had the biggest hand before going all out.
But this would reveal a flaw, and people might not follow him at that time.
The game ended early, and no one was too excited to win. Everyone was not an ordinary person, and Link also "showed" his ability and found a source of funds.
He asked the hotel to issue him a certificate to prove the source of his funds.
During the following vacation, Link no longer went to the casino, but instead basked in the sun, ate big meals, and watched shows, thoroughly enjoying the vacation.
At the same time, this card game was publicized by the casino, letting people know that Link is such a master.
The casino didn't take a commission this time. After all, they had bullied Link before. Link was indeed so powerful, and they didn't want to offend him. What if Link killed everyone in the casino?
The casino did not send its own masters to avoid losing, which would not look good.
…
With three days left until the end of the vacation, Link packed his luggage, ordered a flight ticket, and prepared to go home directly.
After all, just playing is very tiring, and the hotel waived all his fees, but he hopes that Link can attend when there is a big poker game.
Link naturally did not refuse. This was to give him money, so he readily agreed.
But he won't come if he's too young. The minimum price is five million, otherwise it won't be worth his while.
Returning to his long-lost home, Link was about to start cleaning, but the doorbell suddenly rang.
Link was very surprised. He had been away for more than ten days, but why did someone come to his door just after he came back?
Could it be a gunman from the Irish gang?
