C122 Gambling
C122 Gambling
In Las Vegas, there was a bet every day, but it was different in size. Small gambles happened every day, but big gambles were rare. Cochran did not need to look to know that this was going to be a big gamble.
He opened the invitation card and saw clearly that it said ten billion. In other words, the chips for this gamble was over ten billion. Those who couldn't exchange for ten billion wouldn't be able to participate.
Liu Yi definitely had the right to participate, but his primary purpose for coming to Las Vegas was not to win money, but to take revenge on the families of the Bosse Foundation. In other words, although winning money was not Liu Yi's primary goal.
Besides, Liu Yi swept through the casino. He could still win money, so there was no need for him to participate in any gambling events. Liu Yi finally agreed, because underneath the invitation, there was a clear message: "Inviter." It was Kennedy.
As everyone knew, the names of the countries of Europe and America were different from those of China. They put their surnames at the bottom, with the first name, Kennedy. This meant that the person who had invited them was the Kennedy family.
Alright, since it was just the Kennedy family, Liu Yi didn't have to worry about it. However, after looking at the following invitees, Liu Yi decided to participate.
Lowell, Laurence, Adams, and Loki!
Other than the Kennedy family, the invitees also had these four families. Liu Yi was very familiar with these families; they were members of the Boston consortium.
The five members of the Boston Consortium were all invitees, so they could understand what Liu Yi meant just by thinking about it. The gambling house they set up was completely for their own sake, so they wanted to know what other reasons Liu Yi had for refusing to participate.
For each of the five families, the representative sent out by the family would at least take 10 billion chips. If he won all five of them, that would be 50 billion yuan, which was much better than Liu Yi sweeping across several gambling tables.
Don't doubt that Liu Yi was 100% sure that he could win against the representatives sent by the five families. Even if they invited a Gambling Master, Liu Yi was still able to do it.
"Alright, I'll participate!" Liu Yi lightly said, but he did not stop there. He paused for a moment and looked at Ke Ke Ke? There was a smile on Cochran's face as he replied. "However, to increase this chip, one person needs 20 billion."
50 billion isn't a small amount. After sharing it, a family would only have 10 billion. Even if they lose in the end, it wouldn't hurt. According to the rules, Liu Yi cannot continue.
This was not worth it. What Liu Yi wanted was to make the five families in the Boston consortium suffer losses. Then, this bargaining chip must be increased, for example, by doubling it and turning 10 billion into 20 billion yuan.
20 billion! Even though the five families of the Boston consortium were very wealthy, they still lost 20 billion in one go. Including the 15 billion that Liu Yi and the others had swept the casino twice.
Twenty three billion was enough to hurt a family. Even if they couldn't shake their foundation, it was enough. Liu Yi could still vent his anger.
"Mister Burning Heaven …" Kirk? "It seems like it will be a bit difficult for him to continue on. However, the moment he said those words, Liu Yi's sharp eyes met with his. He nodded and said, not daring to continue any further." I will carry your message with me. "
"Tell them that if they don't give me an answer by three in the afternoon, then my men and I will continue to sweep the area and see if they can take it." Liu Yi said coldly.
Liu Yi was clearly threatening them, but what could they do? They were no match for Liu Yi right now.
Kirk? Cochran didn't say anything. He nodded and left.
"..."
Kirk? Cochran, uh... It was more appropriate to say that the five families of the Boston consortium did not disappoint Liu Yi. They did not wait until three in the afternoon. Cochran hasn't been gone for half an hour, Kirk? Cochrane sent back word that they had agreed to raise the chips to twenty billion.
The number of chips was set to be 8: 00 that night, according to Liu Yi's plan. They would bet until either side ran out of money, in other words, either Liu Yi lost 20 billion, or all five representatives of the Boston consortium lost.
This was a situation where one side would not rest until one side died, which was exactly what Liu Yi wanted to see happen. Therefore, even if there was a bit less time, Liu Yi did not mind.
Liu Yi didn't mind, but the five families of the Boston consortium did. They received the news that Fen Tian suddenly came to Las Vegas, and then swept their family's gambling tables. In just a day and a half, he took away 15 billion yuan.
Thus, they rushed to Las Vegas. On the plane, they discussed how to deal with this situation. It was a gamble, a gamble, and it would be decided by Kirk. Cochrane came out to invite Liu Yi.
But, Kirk? Cochrane had added 20 billion to the chips, which infuriated the five families of the Boston consortium.
The Boston Consortium was one of the top ten consortia in the M nation. It was ranked below the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium. There had been a slight trend in recent years to surpass the Rockefeller Consortium.
"Ugh …" No, among the five families of the Boston Consortium, they were now second only to the Morgan Consortium. To put it bluntly, they had a lot of influence in countries like M, and they had a lot of influence around the world.
With such influence, why would they be afraid of a single Burning Heaven Mercenary Group? It was enough to kill them all, but after thinking about it for a few days, half of the Kennedy Family's strength and another half of the Longtons had been wiped out in just a few hours. Furthermore, the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group had only dispatched twelve members.
How powerful was this? If they were to fight the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group head on, their Boston consortium had no chance of winning at all, and would end up being massacred.
At this time, all they could do was endure. The five heads of families of the Boston Consortium had no choice but to agree, because they had no other choice.
Wasn't this letting Kirk? After Cochran replied to Liu Yi, the heads of the five families did not leave, but sat together. Look at me, look at you, no one spoke first.
After a while, the patriarch finally broke the silence and spoke up.
"..."
"Everyone, I feel that this is nothing. Let's switch seats and think for a moment. If the situation is on our side, then we will similarly make unreasonable demands of Fen Tian." "The head of the Kennedy family spoke calmly." This is when the situation is better than the person, and we are at a disadvantage and have no bargaining chips. "
"There is no need, after a short pause, the head of the Kennedy family has not forgotten to share the benefits." Regardless of the outcome, I still believe that Fen Tian is a person who follows the rules. If we win the bet, then he will definitely leave M Country, and this can be considered as over.
The Kennedy family was well aware of how powerful the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group was. They had thought that their family would be able to kill off Fen Tian and the others without any problem by sending so many S ranked genetic warriors and a SS ranked adepts.
The result, however, was that their men were slaughtered, along with the members of the Dolontes family. The Kennedy family did not know what had happened, but from the fact that they had not returned, they knew that the Burning Heaven Mercenaries were terrifying.
Well, the Burning Heaven Mercenaries were very scary, but what was even more unacceptable was the fact that against so many strong people, dozens of S ranked genetic warriors, the eleven people that Burning Heaven brought were still completely unharmed. This could not be described as terrifying.
Devil!
Yes, this phrase was most appropriate to describe the Burning Heaven Mercenary Company, and only the devil had such a powerful skill.
The members of the Kennedy family had an instinctive fear of the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group. In order to prevent their family from getting caught up in another fight, the patriarch of the family had chosen to accept it silently instead of provoking the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group.
The Boston Consortium was a whole, and they were strong because they were a whole. If something happened to this whole, they would no longer be strong. For example, now that they, the Kennedy family, had lost half of their power, not only the Kennedy family would lose their power, but the entire Boston Consortium would lose its power as a whole.
It could be said that the Boston Consortium was prosperous and powerful. They would suffer great losses regardless of whether it was you or me.
Moreover, since the Kennedy family was in such a state, and the power of the entire Boston consortium had been reduced, the rest of the business would remain as it was and would not be taken advantage of by the other families.
They belonged to the same race on the surface, but they were not kind people. Once they got their chance, the Boston consortium might be finished.
After realizing the change in the situation, the head of the Kennedy family assumed the role of a hero who wanted to extinguish his own prestige.
"However, the head of the Kennedy family did not finish his sentence." If Fen Tian wins in the end, then I think he will abide by the rules and leave the country. "
"If we win, then everyone will be happy, but, if Fen Tian wins, that would be over a hundred billion, not a small number." The head of the Luo Qi clan said with a serious expression.
As the head of the Loki Family had said, 100 billion was not a small number. If he won, then he would be happy. But if he lost, then what? The price paid was not small.
To them, 100 billion is just 20 billion, money can be earned again, but we cannot ignore that. To earn 20 billion is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.
"We can't keep our eyes open. We have to think about it in the long run." The head of the Kennedy family said helplessly. "We can't be stingy, as long as we still have the Boston consortium, we can earn more money."
"I'm petty?" "The patriarch of Luo Qi Clan is obviously angry," the patriarch said. "His anger is very high." More than 20 billion yuan? Does this have anything to do with being petty? "
"Then, Master Loki, what do you want to do?" The patriarch of the Kennedy family was obviously angered as well. He glared at the patriarch of the Luo Qi family and spoke coldly. Could it be that you want to let Fen Tian sweep the area together, and give him a few more days of time. "Do you know how much more is?
"Fuck... Could it be that Patriarch Luo Qi wants Burning Heaven to charge into the headquarters of your Luo Qi Clan and slaughter all of the powers that you think you are strong enough to do? " "The head of the Kennedy family did not show any mercy." I can guarantee that at that time, your Loki clan won't be far off from destruction … "Also, let me tell you, this is the choice of the Kennedy Family. As for your choice, it's up to you. But let me warn you, if that happens, don't say that the Kennedy Family doesn't want to help us."
With that, the head of the Kennedy family stood up and left. He didn't want to see the other four heads of the family to be like this anymore.
It was the Kennedy family's idea to target the Burning Heaven Mercenaries. However, the other four families had agreed as well, pushing the Kennedy family to be the main force. Everything was done by the Kennedy family, and the other four families had not done anything.
Watching from the sidelines was nothing, but the problem was if the Burning Heaven Mercenary Group had been seized, then the other four clans would have jumped out immediately and split the benefits, without even the slightest bit of embarrassment.
This was the face of the other four clans. On the surface, they appeared to be very united, but who knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
If this was a normal situation, then it would have been fine. But now, they were facing a huge enemy, and their hearts were actually aching for more than 20 billion yuan. This caused them to feel speechless and deeply angered.
The Patriarchs of the four Families looked at each other, but did not say a word.
The Kennedy family had lost half of their strength. It was true that their overall strength had declined, but their family status would not change. They were still the top of the five families.
The heads of the four families were very clear on this. They were very confident in their own abilities, but they also knew their weakness. That was, they didn't have a good view of the overall situation.
It could be said that if the Kennedy Family left the consortium, then the consortium would be reduced to ashes in an instant. Their families' businesses would be attacked by the enemy and eventually swallowed up.
In other words, without the presence of the Kennedy family, the other four families would end up in a miserable state.
Therefore, no one dared to make a sound in the face of the Chief of the Kennedy Family's wrath. This would only add fuel to the fire, and perhaps the Kennedy Family would announce that they would withdraw from the alliance and survive independently.
Helplessness!
The patriarchs of the four families could do nothing but shake their heads and sigh helplessly. Then, they all stood up and left.
