Chapter 20 Interstellar Thief
At first glance, Luther failed to recognize who the man in front of him was, but as soon as he heard the man speak, Luther remembered—it was the masked host of Huangli Casino.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Ludwig stepped forward with a wide smile and shook hands with him.
The white gloves on the host's hands are extremely soft and comfortable, and you can tell they are high-grade fabrics when you touch them.Luther lowered his eyes calmly, stroking the back of the host's hand with his fingers, thinking that the casino's treatment and wages seem to be good, and the details are not bad.Presumably, the appearance fee for the casino to invite him to play today is not bad, at least it can be the same as the 100 million star coin family dinner fee held by the Gremi family, and it can even be raised.
The host felt itchy when Luther rubbed the back of his hand. He withdrew his hand in embarrassment, coughing dryly with flustered eyes.
Luther turned his face sideways, raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile, "Is there anything you can do for me?"
The host bravely met Luther's gaze, and instead of doing Tai Chi with Ludwig, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Ludwig, I am here today because I have something urgent to ask for your help."
Luther walked to the bar and asked the host to sit down with him.Jin Yun'er was standing beside Luther, seeing that the casino sent this person to be a big deal, and this time she generously ordered a drink for each of them.
While Ludwig was surprised that Jin Yuner was bleeding profusely, he quickly raised his head and smiled at Jin Yuner, "Two cups of coffee, thank you."
Jin Yuner flicked her finger when ordering food on the light screen. The price of coffee on the price list was twice as expensive as that of VC effervescent water. Jin Yuner turned her face and said to Luther with a smile: "Okay~"
Luther trembled from Jin Yaner's delicate trembling voice.
Two cups of black coffee were quickly sent to the seat where Ludwig and the host were sitting. The host politely said "Thank you", and Jin Yuner didn't intend to avoid it, so she stood behind Luther and squeezed Luther's shoulders. Listen to the two talking with a smile.
Luther only felt that the pressure on his shoulders was enormous, and he guessed that Jin Yuner probably counted the money for the two free cups of coffee into the big ticket bill of Huangli Casino, and put it on his shoulders.
Luther coughed, picked up the black coffee in front of him and brought it to his mouth, pressed his thin lips against the rim of the cup, stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick the rich black coffee in the cup, and suddenly a bitter taste spread from the tip of his tongue to his whole body, finally gathering Between his eyebrows, he could not help but frown.
The host said sincerely to Ludwig: "Mr. Ludwig, on behalf of Huangli Casino, I sincerely invite you to play an important game for the casino tonight. The current situation is more urgent. I hope you will agree to play tonight. As for the appearance fee, the casino is willing to pay you a deposit of 100 million star coins, and if you win the game, an additional 100 million will be added for each game you win."
Luther: "This..."
Jin Yun'er put her finger on Luther's shoulder secretly hard, interrupting Luther's blurt, she lightly raised her red lips, narrowed her charming fox eyes slightly, and asked the host with a smile: "What is the important match today? The match is coming up tonight, and you guys are only now looking for my Weixi, it's too...too rushed, right?"
Looking for a substitute player at a high price sounds like looking for a fat sheep to take the blame.
Luther was pressed against the back of his neck by Jin Yuner's thumb, and was forced to nod in agreement.
The host gave a wry smile and explained: "We also know that it happened suddenly, but the other party won't leave us any time to prepare."
Huangli Casino had no choice but to come to Ludwig for help today. It was purely treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.The reason is that a group of people came to the casino today, and that group of people are interstellar thieves traveling through the interstellar world, and their cruiser docked at the planet Lausanne today.
Since Lausanne is a small planet abandoned by the alliance, there are almost no alliance troops stationed on the planet. As the old saying goes, "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings." Fortunately, the interstellar thieves are only robbing treasures, and they are not mad enough to kill ordinary people. .And as long as the interstellar thieves don't burn, kill and loot recklessly, the interstellar alliance will not be disturbed.
"Competing with thieves???"
Jin Yuner raised her voice halfway through hearing it, widened her eyes, and interrupted excitedly.
The host bit the bullet and should be.
Without further ado, Jin Yan'er prepared to see off the guests, "Sir, we don't want to offend anyone, we quit this job, please go back."
The host smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Ludwig, please think again..." The coffee on the host's table hadn't even touched a sip before Jin Yuner ordered to evict the guest.
Jin Yuner's "stay away from trouble" is actually the first reaction of normal people, but Ludwig's reaction is even more strange. He grabbed Jin Yuner, squinted and smiled and asked the host: "Who is the thief leader?"
Jin Yan'er turned her head and stared at him: "You don't care who he is!"
The host also wondered why Luther would ask this question, and replied dully: "...Victor."
Victor is one of the eight leaders of the current Interstellar Thieves Alliance and the youngest leader of the Thieves.He is young, arrogant, high-spirited, and unscrupulous. He is undoubtedly an extremely dazzling new star in the vast interstellar world—all the brilliant achievements he has were terminated by Ludwig in his previous life.
Luther rubbed the smooth and round rim with his fingers holding the coffee cup, and repeated softly with a smile on his face, "Victor."
The host nodded and said, "Mr. Luther, do you know Victor?"
Jin Yun'er hurriedly interjected: "Wei Xi stays in his room every day and doesn't see anyone, he doesn't know anyone!"
Ludwig tilted his head with a bright smile and said, "I know, the behavior of those people is not very good."
Jin Yuner stiffened her neck and turned her head stiffly to stare at Ludwig.
Ludwig asked the host again: "He is playing in your casino today? What is the bet?"
The host smiled wryly, "He asked for 100 million star coins to bet on our boss' goddaughter."
Betting 100 million star coins on the daughter of the casino owner sounds like an unreasonable and ridiculous joke. What's even more ridiculous is that they didn't have the guts to directly reject Victor.
Luther held his chin and asked, "Is your boss's goddaughter beautiful?"
The host nodded: "Pretty."
Ludwig smiled again and said, "Okay, I'll help you get rid of Victor and let your boss marry the young lady to me."
"Di!"
A message popped up on Luther's wristband communicator. After checking it, he found that it was a string of ellipses sent by Luther: "..."
Luther thought to himself, "I forgot to turn off the communication when I slept," and calmly sent a message to comfort Lua: "Honey, I'm just joking, I don't want to marry, I'm just waiting to marry you."
Jin Yuner: "..."
host:"……"
Lure played another string of ellipses longer than before: "..."
Ludwig raised his head and smiled at the host as if nothing had happened, and asked, "What are the rules of the game?"
When the host heard that Luther wanted to participate in the competition, and was afraid that the game rules set by Victor would scare off Luther's good intentions to save the field, he replied vaguely: "Because Victor and the others came suddenly, the competition was also arranged temporarily. The rules of the competition have not yet been determined, but the competition is a battle mech, which can be determined."
Ludwig nodded in agreement, picked up the coffee and said, "Okay, you pay the bill first, and I will go to the casino with you now."
Pay the bill? ? ?
Host: "...OK."
Jin Yun'er grabbed Ludwig's neck, leaned over and whispered against his face, gritted her teeth and said, "Are you crazy?! You actually agreed to compete with Interstellar Thieves?"
Ludwig patted the back of Jin Yuner's hand clasping his neck, and comforted him: "Miss Boss, think about 200 million star coins, 200 million, do you feel calmer? Are you afraid?"
Jin Yan'er slapped Lude on the face, "Calm down! You don't want money!"
Those who should be scolded have been scolded, but in the end Jin Yuner still couldn't hold back Luther.Luther froze and forced himself to finish the cup of black coffee, and then went to the casino with the host.
The evening sky was covered by a large red sunset glow, which soaked the entire sky like ink dye, until it disappeared into the horizon.
