Between life and death [unlimited]

When Jiang Ke and James entered the manor just now, the sun almost rose to the highest position in the sky.

This golden round of the central celestial body of the solar system, which looks like a fire wheel, is also like this elegant middle-aged man described in an ancient idiom who is "as high as the sun", and seems to be full of infinite charm and energy—whether it is the sun in the sky It was still the middle-aged man standing in front of James and the others. They were all in the best period of their own time trajectories.

Mr. Felton, who was in his prime of life, saw the driver driving the car into the manor. He took off his fedora, bent down and showed a humble and polite smile to Jiang Ke, who is a lady. Indicates that he is about to leave here: "My car has arrived, I am very happy to be able to talk with you.".

But after getting in the car, he specially rolled down the window, mainly to say to James: "Well, I hope you can get along with my old friends from country D by then, James gentlemen."

"Of course, it is a certain thing, my dear Mr. Felton."

Then James and Jiang Ke watched the owner of this luxurious manor leave here.After the solid black car drove out of their sight and disappeared completely,

"What a gentleman." James looked at his captain and said, "What do you think of Mr. Felton, captain?"

Jiang Ke, however, kept staring at the direction the car was leaving, and did not answer for a long time.

With such a large family property, she didn't think that Mr. Felton would be as harmless as he appeared on the surface.

……

Because country Q is a landform with many mountains and hills, those unexplored small roads in the countryside have a much worse driving experience than the spacious asphalt roads in the city-but this car The Cadillac, a popular model of the century, is very stable on this trail. Even though its tires sometimes run over the rough and bumpy stones, the car itself basically does not shake.

This must be inseparable from the outstanding driver of this car. The skilled and superior driving skills can make the owners sitting behind the car have a feeling of "walking on the ground" at a constant speed.

However, if you take a closer look at this seemingly ordinary all-black car, you will be surprised to find that the car in front of you is definitely not a simple Cadillac as it looks.

First of all, its body has obviously been artificially modified. The high-strength steel body has been replaced with advanced bulletproof materials, and a layer of thickening has been carried out-this protection method can effectively allow the vehicle Can withstand attacks from standard rifles or small bombs for a short period of time;

And the front and rear windows of this Cadillac are also covered by a layer of dark brown shading film-of course, these films are not the ordinary shading films that are common in our lives-but a kind of shading film even in an accident. When the window glass is completely shattered, it can also firmly stick to the debris, which can protect people in the car from being hurt by splashing around when the glass bursts.

This bulletproof modified Cadillac, which cannot be purchased on the market, is the generous friend of Mr. Felton, Wilfried Blades, the head of the Blades family. A gift given to him years ago - at that time, Mr. Felton and his wife had just come to country Q, and it was at the beginning of the business here, and he was also very lucky to help the Blades family complete A "can't be man-made" mystery - so it can also be said that this Cadillac is a testimony of the friendship between Mr. Felton and Blades.

And now, Mr. Felton is sitting in this "witness gift" and is on his way to meet his friend.

A long time ago, when he had not come to country Q or even made a fortune earlier, Mr. Felton was just an ordinary young man who grew up in country D (he was still a Chinese race who was discriminated against by the locals ), he has also ridden in many different types of vehicles - such as Chevrolet, Buick under the same brand as Cadillac, and old Fords, as well as Volkswagen Skoda, Fabia - but those four-wheeled cars that now seem very simple The driving car can't be compared with the one in front of me, and it's still not comparable at all.

The interior of this "gift" was also obviously modified by members of the Blades family - soft and comfortable all-inclusive leather cushions, the most advanced stereo surround sound, easy-to-control automatic air-conditioning, and even the entire interior of the car. The person was covered with a low-key and luxurious dark red cushion.

The scorching and dazzling sunlight outside could not fully shine into the interior of the moving modified vehicle through the film of the window, so the light inside the vehicle looked a little dim. Against this slightly quiet background, the whole vehicle seemed to be It is full of venous blood that flows slowly in the human body.

The driver who is driving ahead has been working for Mr. Felton for more than ten years. This good driver with superb driving skills also has good qualities that other professional drivers should have-such as being taciturn and never complaining to his own. The employer asks questions; and when driving for Mr. Felton and his friends, his ears will also be selectively "deaf"-but he doesn't know why, although he has been with Mr. Felton for a long time, But he still feels inexplicable fear of this small Asian man in Tang suit at work.

So the driver subconsciously glanced at his Chinese employer in the rearview mirror - Mr. Felton's figure is not tall among Asians, and he looks even thinner compared with those naturally burly Europeans (probably His son Si Yufeng also inherited this characteristic, both of them were naturally thin) ——and Mr. Felton was sitting in the large shadow behind the vehicle at the moment, his whole body seemed to be covered by a layer of Shrouded in translucent darkness.

The smile on the corners of the mouth of this humble and polite middle-aged man has disappeared at this time. He silently listened to the dull roar of the car engine with his ears. expression.

James, who had a strong figure and a traditional appearance of a country D, whom he met in the manor just now, made this Chinese gentleman who hadn't experienced ups and downs for a long time recall the past, the time he had spent in country D.

In fact, it was not a passing time full of good memories that people would often miss—and on the contrary, the young Mr. Felton living in country D did not achieve what he is today—in dozens of years Years ago, all the wealth of his parents plus the previous ancestral relics (not to mention nothing valuable, just some talisman papers and a bronze mirror), at most he could satisfy his children with basic food and clothing. If we want more than one point, there is no point.

You must know that the ancestors of Mr. Felton came to this strange land of country D in the same way as other people from country C, such as taking a ferry (but most of them were smuggled immigrants).These industrious Asians intend to rely on their hands in this land full of money and freedom to create more and greater wealth than they have obtained at home.

But just like the idiom "fish leaps over the dragon's gate", only a very small number of these hardworking Asians finally made money from the people of country D and became the millionaires they dreamed of. The living here—although the salary here is as much as the propaganda said, but no one told them that the expenses here are as huge—it is a pity that Mr. Felton's ancestors belonged to the ordinary majority.

And these ancestors may not be as good as those who can only do physical labor. They were born in Taoism and had dreams. They originally thought that they could carry forward traditional oriental culture in this strange continent, but the reality gave them a heavy blow.

Because the ancestors did not accumulate a solid family background for their offspring, Mr. Felton had to think twice and weigh carefully even if he wanted to pursue the girl he liked. After all, dating girls in the early stage and getting married in the later stage The expenses are definitely quite a lot, anyway, this amount is definitely not what Mr. Felton, who was still doing odd jobs while studying at the time, could afford.

When he was young, Mr. Felton worked as a waiter in a restaurant, a publicist in a department store, as well as a croupier and a dealer in a casino. In fact, he knew that the casino was not a good place, and he should not be so obedient. The place where most Chinese children should go, but the salary there is the highest and it is like a steady stream of treasures. Every day there is full of different adventures-because he made his first life friend there, And it was also where he earned the first pot of gold in his life.

Cesare Tornatore.

An interesting name borrowed from the surname of a famous emperor in history, which also made Caesar Tonatore the most impressive existence in the casino - of course, this reason is also related to Caesar's own bold personality and his safe The way of doing things is inextricably linked.

The young Mr. Felton heard about this "big star" in the casino on the first day he entered to work here-a man who looked similar to James but had a handsome Prussian hairstyle, light blond hair and fair skin, A handsome man who smiles but is not as domineering as his own name—at the same time, he also knows that he is one of the future casino deputy candidates with a bright future.

Although Felton had heard of Caesar's name early on, it was still too early for the two to really become friends.

I have to say that it may really be in response to the Italian proverb "Money is a friend of money (like attracts like)", and the scene where the two met later was very coincidental.At that time, Felton was just about to change shifts, and he accidentally ran into the "big star" in their casino in the corridor, and it happened to be the moment when Caesar's career encountered a huge crisis.

Caesar, who has always done things neatly and brought a lot of income to the casino every day, just happened to encounter a somewhat tricky thing that might not be able to be solved within the scope of human beings.

During that time, there were a few oriental guests in the casino, and they still had the kind of popular appearance that Westerners couldn’t quickly identify—this should have been a happy thing for Caesar, because there are many hidden rich people in the ancient and mysterious East , and they are willing to spend as much money here as possible to have a good time—but just contrary to this characteristic, the gambling skills of these oriental guests are definitely not as ordinary as they look.

To put it in a more gentle way, maybe their body and appearance are not excellent (it can even be said to be very bad, the sharp-billed monkey is short and short, and looks like an ape that has not yet evolved), but all their luck should be It was put on the matter of gambling by God.

Since these people entered the casino, no matter what they played—whether it was blackjack, stud or baccarat, even the slot machines with artificially adjusted ratios—their winning rate was above 21%. Obviously, this is definitely not normal what guests can do.

At the beginning, after our casino "star" Caesar had won two days in a row with these oriental guests, he asked his subordinates to intensify the search of these people. He felt that this group of suspicious Asians must be hiding something. s things.

It's just a pity that Caesar and the others couldn't find any tools to cheat. This group of guests was as clean as newborn babies, and they carried nothing on their bodies except clothes.

But Caesar also knew that there could be no real "Alan Bell" in this world like in Greek mythology (the collective name of Alando, the god of luck, and Berti, the angel of happiness). Clear trick secrets.

So Caesar began to send his men to follow them.He asked a group of powerful subordinates to go to the residence of this group of guests, intending to find the tools they used to cheat, and if conditions permit, kill the lives of these damned guests for him.

However, a few days later, something terrifying happened to Caesar—it was the first time that the "big star" in this casino encountered such an evil thing.

None of the subordinates he sent out a few days ago returned to the casino, as if they had suddenly disappeared from the world.

If there were only a few people, it could barely explain that they were in trouble and couldn't return, but after he had sent out no less than ten people and many of them were retired special forces, those mysterious guests with good luck were still at his place The scenery inside wins money.

The only ones who disappeared were the subordinates that Caesar kept sending out.

As a dealer, Felton naturally knew a little bit about this matter.So when he changed shifts with his companions and met the angry Caesar in the corridor of the casino, our quick-thinking and good at seizing opportunities, Mr. Felton knew that the loving God of the world had not abandoned him .

The opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

"Mr. Tonatore, I'm sorry to interrupt you." The yellow-skinned, black-haired young man obviously noticed the anger in Caesar's eyes—he knew that Caesar must be very hostile to Asian faces like him—but Phil Don was not affected in any way, and continued to talk to the "big star", "I heard about those oriental guests. Or, can you let me try?"

"what?"

Caesar really didn't take the words of this Asian employee to heart at first, and he subconsciously felt a headache when he saw this yellow-skinned face as Felton thought: "The mercenaries are all sent by me. Now, it's up to you—" He looked at Felton's thin body unceremoniously: "What can you do for me?"

But when Caesar was planning to find someone to fire the Chinese employee who blocked his eyesight, he heard this thin oriental boy with courage that didn't match his figure say again.

"This matter is not a 'strength work' that can be solved by mercenaries, Mr. Tonatore, if you leave it to me, I promise to solve this matter perfectly for you. I will let those casinos export the money (These were matted by Caesars himself for the casino), back in your pocket again."

Cesar Tornatore didn't know what was wrong with him, probably only God knows why he really agreed to the proposal of this ordinary-looking Asian boy in the end-maybe in his opinion, even if things didn't work out in the end, at most they would It's just to send another person to die, and this person still took the initiative to send him to death.

However, the final development of things was far beyond Caesar's expectations.

Within a few days, this matter was perfectly resolved as Felton said.Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of coins that were stolen from his pocket by those damned "thieves" guests were safely returned to Caesar's account.

"How did you solve it?" Cather once asked Felton this question afterward.

After all, he once sent out a well-equipped mercenary team to deal with those troublesome guests, but the headlines in country D newspapers the next day were still calm, just like everyone he sent out before, this mercenary team also Completely disappeared.

Felton remembered smiling at Caesar more or less humbly than he did now (it was his character, at least on the surface).

He said: "I am very honored to be able to help you, Mr. Tonatore. Because these guests happened to use a kind of ancient oriental magic - this is that they don't have any cheating tools, but they can continue to make money from you - and it just so happens that my ancestors were experts in the sorcery of 'curing' (a literal translation of Cure). So it is really a coincidence, Mr. Tornatore, that I work for you and you were Just met me."

So after hearing this reasonable and unimaginable answer, the future "new star" Caesar in the casino has since remembered this young Chinese dealer named "Felton"—and From his point of view, Felton is definitely capable and has the potential to flourish like the "dragon" in oriental legends sooner or later-so, Caesar also began to give this young man a lot of career opportunities. help.

Later, it was exactly as Caesar had imagined. He watched with his own eyes the young man of Chinese descent who started as an ordinary dealer and slowly rose step by step to the position of the casino manager he was in when the two met.

So, Caesar also stretched out his hands again, and referred Felton—this young man with brains and knowledge of oriental mystic arts—to the position of his deputy.Afterwards, the two even joined forces to integrate all the gambling and entertainment industries in that small city in country D under their names.

Felton really looked like a "dragon" that existed in oriental legends.From the ground with no foundation, he rose to prosperity with the help of Dongfeng Qingyun.

And to this day, it has never fallen.

When recalling here, Mr. Felton has almost arrived at his destination this time.

When he got out of the small bulletproof car, he saw his best friend at a glance - cloth with all the hair neatly combed back and meticulous facial details. Mr Ryders.

"Felton, you're finally here." Blades quickly walked towards his friend, and then held Felton's right hand affectionately.

But after he noticed the smile on his friend's face—this is not easy for Westerners who can easily distinguish between Eastern faces—Blades asked: "Felton, what happened just now?" Is there anything interesting? Why are you smiling so happily?"

"Oh, not really. In fact, it's nothing." Felton restrained his smile and replied, "I just met a young man from country D. You know, I came from there when I was young. , so it feels very cordial.”

"Is this the only thing?" It is obvious that Mr. Blades knows his friend very well, and he knows that Felton must not only smile because of this trivial matter: "Tell me, what happened just now?" What happened to make you laugh so hard? My friend."

Mr. Felton still shook his head and replied with a smile: "Well, Blades, you did guess right." Then he said: "You remember the Caesar Toner I mentioned to you?" Torrey? It's the friend I met in country D."

"Of course I remember." Blades was impressed by this man with the same name as the historical emperor: "What's wrong?"

Felton continued: "Just now I met a guest who looks like Caesar in my manor, so I recalled the things we used to interact on the way here-we used to acquire many things together. Small local gambling workshops, integrated gaming industry in our area - oh, what a nostalgic past!"

"So that's the case." Bradeston immediately understood the reason for the smile on Felton's face: "No wonder you've been smiling since you got out of the car, but the things you created are really impressive. I feel admiration."

But not long after the two moved forward, he asked again: "Felton, but I remember, didn't you tell me that Caesar had passed away?"

"Yes, it's a pity that he passed away unexpectedly because of something. At that time, I just left country D and came here." Felton sighed as expected: "God made me lose a best friend, but after I Actively found and adopted his son."

"When I found that poor little guy, he was bullied like a sickly puppy and he was starved to death in the orphanage. So, in memory of my friend Caesar, I adopted Diack Tonatore, and I treat him like my own, and he plays really well with my son."

However, Blades, who was familiar with his friend's personality, stared at Felton, and suddenly asked another question that might sound offensive.

"Is it really an accident?" Blades acted very naturally.

He who was still leading the way for his friend seemed to ask casually, but there was a knowing smile on that meticulous face, as if he had already mastered some internal information.

But when Mr. Felton heard this, he said in a sincere tone: "Oh, Blades, I assure you that I had absolutely nothing to do with Caesar's death. I swear to God—"

He immediately raised his right hand, like the oriental people used to swear: "His death was definitely an accident. No one would like to see a casino tycoon fall like that, it is really too pitiful."

"Okay." Blades seemed to be just joking with his friend, but before the two entered the room, he leaned over to Felton and whispered the last sentence.

"But Felton, my dear friend, you've never been a believer in God, have you?"

The author has something to say: The reason why Jiang Ke wanted to kill Jiang Shang in the last chapter:

1. He betrayed Jiang Ke

2. He is no longer useful to Jiang Ke (it could be used to contain Feb before, which is why Jiang Ke took the initiative to ask Jiang Shui to join the Divine Blessed Knights)
