The Hell Merchant in American Comics
Chapter 5
In the United States, operating a casino is a legal business.
In the small town where Alec was located, a black casino was opened without a business license, so he kept his head above water and set up the casino in an alley.Comparing the two, the casinos in the city are much more domineering.This casino opened in the most prosperous city center of the small town. There was a pool built at the door, and a group of scantily clad girls solicited customers at the door.Next to the casino, luxury hotels, artificial beaches, banks, real estate companies, and tourism companies are all available, creating the best environment for gamblers coming and going.
The smallest chip in the casino is one hundred dollars, and Alec only has enough money to exchange for ten chips.
In a casino with many high-rollers, gamblers like Alec are not even small fish, at most they are just inconspicuous shrimps.But this shrimp is an open shrimp. In a casino where most people are ordinary people, a single extraordinary perception can make him invincible.
Alec still chose to gamble with the dice.
With the skill of extraordinary perception, he can directly sense the size of the dice. In other words, he can win the big or small bet with his eyes closed.
Ten minutes later, the weights in Alec's hand turned into a small pile again, which attracted the attention of many gamblers.Even though Alec has always maintained the strategy of winning three and losing one, over time, many people still started to follow him in betting.
Several waitresses came forward and very considerately exchanged the scattered chips into integers.
Alec counted and found that he already had more than 2 US dollars in his hand.
The game continues.
This time the dealer was very lucky, and he directly rolled out three 2 points.
This is a very frustrating situation because it means that the house takes all and the gambler will lose regardless of whether they bet high or low.But this is also the one with the highest odds among all bets. As long as the bet is successful, the odds will be 151 times.Alec has 300 US dollars in hand. If he bets all on the one-color dealer, the [-] US dollars will become a full [-] million.
But he also has some concerns. He has won too many times, and many gamblers are betting with him. The multiple of one color is too high. If someone really follows the bet in a big way, the casino will output tens of millions or even hundreds of millions at a time. US dollars
Anyone who runs a casino is not a good person. If you lose tens of millions, someone will definitely come to Alec to have a heart-to-heart talk.
To bet or not to bet
Alec glanced at Logan behind him. With the protection of Wolverine, he had the courage to take this money.
There is a skill in betting. Alec didn't want to offend the casino too much, so he first bet $[-] on the big one, then bet the scattered chips on the small one, and finally bet $[-] on the one color.This is a very conservative play, and it is also the most difficult play for gamblers to follow. Most gamblers will choose one of the big and small bets, and very few people will bet on the same color with him.
Soon, everyone placed their bets.
Alec looked at the chips on the table and quickly calculated that the casino would lose 800 million this time.
This number should be within the acceptance range of the casino.
It's just that the croupier who rolls the dice is probably going to be unlucky.
The answer to the mystery was revealed. Three two points appeared in front of everyone. There was a cry behind Alec. Most of the gamblers were very sensible. Only a few people dared to bet on one color. Unfortunately, only these few people made money in the end. .
In front of Alec was a golden square chip, representing a full 100 million US dollars.
The croupier who presided over the gambling game turned pale, said sorry, stood up and left the gambling table.The gamblers who had won money were all snickering. They all knew that the croupier was going to be unlucky.There are very few fools among gamblers, and those who come to gamble are all people who think they are smart. However, what is ironic is that these smart gamblers eventually gave away all their wealth to the casino.
Soon, a man in a black suit walked up to the gaming table, and with him was a middle-aged man dressed as a cowboy.This person is also a mutant named Gait.
Of course, he also has another name, King of Gambits.
Alec didn't recognize Gambit.
Although he is a loyal Marvel fan, due to the large number of mutants and the decades spent in Hell, many characters have been forgotten.
The middle-aged man walked up to the gaming table, bowed to everyone, and said: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The last croupier had to leave the gaming table temporarily due to physical discomfort. Next, I will host the gambling game for everyone. In Here, I want to apologize to everyone first, because I am not proficient in rolling dice, but good at poker, stud, Texas Hold'em, and blackjack. I don't know if you are interested."
The temporary change of gameplay dissatisfied many gamblers, and half of the crowd around the gaming table dispersed.
Alec was one of those who left.
He has earned enough, 150 million US dollars is a huge sum of money. With this money, he and Logan can live very comfortably and won't have to worry about money for a long time.
Gambler didn't know Alec, but he knew Logan. He whispered a few words to the middle-aged man, and then caught up with the two people who were exchanging chips.
"Hey Logan, long time no see."
"You are"
"Game King, we met before I mean, before you lost your memory."
Gambit King looked at Alec and said with a smile: "This is a very smart way for your new partner to make money in the casino."
Alec carefully looked at the Gambit King in front of him, and finally got some impression in his mind.
Gambit is different from Wolverine in that he does not have the ability to live forever, so he looks much older than in the movie.In X-Men: Wolverine Prequel, Gambit had a young face, but now, he has entered middle age and is far less handsome than he looks in the movie.Alec looked at Logan and then at Gambit, and an extremely interesting idea suddenly came to his mind.
As a hell merchant, he can borrow the power of the hell contract, and coupled with his identity as a hell merchant, theoretically, there is nothing he cannot sell.
The merchant of hell is an attribute that all devils dream of. Alec is able to become a high-level fire spirit in hell, which is a great contribution to his status.Of course, this identity brought not only benefits. He was hunted down and escaped from hell in embarrassment. It was also because of exposing this identity that he aroused the jealousy of a certain big shot in hell.
This is Alec's biggest trump card.
Alec chuckled mischievously. Gambit King has worked in casinos for decades, so he must be rich. If his plan succeeds, the assets that Gambit King has worked hard to accumulate for decades will be available to him and Logan.
"Hey Logan, I want to buy something from you."
Logan was confused: "What"
A strange smile appeared on Alec's face: "Lifespan."
Logan's eyebrows twitched, and the expression on his face was very exciting. He dug his ears and asked: "I didn't hear clearly just now, what are you talking about?"
Alec rolled his eyes and repeated again: "I want to buy some life from you."
Logan: ""
