129 episodes. Is it that great?
“Long time no see, David.”
“Ah! Why are you so formal, our company… Khhh! What’s going on here?”
David turned around with a tingling sensation.
Not surprisingly, Lana was staring at her with sharp eyes.
“I came here because I saw you passing by. We don’t even know each other.”
“You said you saw me on the second floor? Anyway, this guy’s charm, he shines even when he’s still.”
“I can’t believe it! I saw it right there from the cafe over there!”
“By the way, who’s that friend in the back? Is that your boyfriend?”
David raised his sunglasses over his head and looked at me.
“No! You are our representative.”
“Representative? Are you serving someone other than Henry, Lucy?”
“That’s it.”
“Hmm, nice to meet you. David Wolf.”
I said as I took his outstretched hand.
“This is Edward Jean.”
“Excuse me, can you tell me what’s going on with Henry?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“Lucy, that’s because Henry isn’t a close friend.”
“I’m just in charge of one Bearfax subsidiary.”
“Hmm, somehow I feel hostility towards me. Do you know me?”
Your eyes are a ghost
I was hiding my heart, but was it revealed in the dark?
“I don’t know, but it’s not like we’re not very connected.”
“Have you ever met me at a casino?”
“It’s not a casino, it’s Switzerland.”
“Huh? Switzerland?”
David rolled his eyes as he turned to Lana.
Then he clapped his palms.
“Ah! That money! Are you the one who asked Henry for it?”
“you’re right.”
“Hahaha, then I came here to say thank you. There’s no need to thank you. It wasn’t too difficult and I met half of my life thanks to you. I have to repay you…”
I asked, cutting off his words of reciprocation.
“Why?”
“yes?”
“Why did you leave $53?”
“Are you saying that I spent less than 53 dollars?”
Ugh, how could that be!
“53! It means thank you! You’re asking why you made the crumbs by scraping.”
“……”
David frowned, avoiding my eyes.
“Do you know how frustrating it was? Tell me the reason, why did you do that?”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think that even if the money was left, it would be an embarrassment for you because the information about the withdrawer is protected.”
“Then you left it as a joke?”
Oh, that’s annoying.
It was fortunate that I passed without any problems with Koh Sang-moon. If I had tried to hold onto the pods, they would have continued to torment me.
But is it because the withdrawer’s information is protected?
“It’s because of me.”
The woman sitting across from David opened her mouth.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Lana Linderman. I am the GM of CS Bank.”
CS Bank is where the money was kept.
Why are you with the general manager there?
“What do you mean by you?”
“Because I left 53 bucks to win my favor.”
Lana told me that David was trying to seduce her and that was what happened in the process.
As it is usually a window used for slush funds, it was natural to withdraw the full amount, but he said that he burst into laughter involuntarily when he saw David who left a word of thanks for $53.
It is said that this became a trigger and the two are now dating.
“Then you’re saying you left that behind just to seduce a girl!?”
What are all these people
“Sorry, Mr. Jean. I apologize like this. From my point of view, I wanted to win Lana’s heart at all costs.”
“That’s your position, what would you do if you harmed me?”
“What can I do? Tell me anything. I’ll listen to everything.”
what? listen to everything
For a moment, without realizing it, I remembered the compass in my jacket pocket.
It was precisely the chip inside it.
“Do you have a chip to commemorate the founding of the Royal Casino?
“Huh? How do you know that? Henry told me?”
“Yes. If you give me that, I will do something that never happened.”
“I can’t do that. It’s pretty precious to me.”
Oh, are you listening to everything?
I thought the collection was going to increase.
“I don’t need anything other than that…”
At that time of regret, a woman named Lana Linderman spoke to me.
“Didn’t you say you’re the representative of a Bearfax subsidiary?”
“yes.”
“Here is my business card. If you do business with Chairman Bearfax, it wouldn’t be a small company. If you need help, please contact me anytime. It’s also because of me, so I will repay you more than Mr. Jean suffered from that.”
I looked at her business card.
All they had was a matte black batting, a gold logo called CS, and a number that looked like a contact number.
‘Swiss Private Bank…’
What, do you want to treat me like a VIP when hiding my slush fund?
“Chief, please accept it.”
Lucy grabbed my arm and whispered softly.
Judging by her reaction, was it a great place?
“Okay. I don’t know if there will ever be a need for your help, but I’ll take it for now.”
I put the business card in my arms and asked David what Lucy was just curious about.
“David, I heard you’re going to be in Switzerland for a while, so why are you here?”
“I got an invitation. I’m here to play with Lana.”
At the word of invitation, Lucy made eye contact with me.
It was obvious that he was going to the competition.
“Are you going to a poker tournament hosted by SWM?”
“Huh? How did you know that? Did you get an invitation too?”
“yes.”
“Hmm, it’s not just VVIPs, but only people with gamble skills above a certain level, so Henry is coming?”
“No, our representative will leave.”
David looked at me with curious eyes and grinned.
“If I ever meet you in the final, I’ll let you win, to pay off the debt.”
“Are you saying you’re intentionally giving up?”
“The prize money is twenty-five million dollars, but that’s enough to pay off the debt.”
twenty-five million dollars.
That’s US dollars, so it’s about 30 billion Korean won.
But even with my skills, I can eat as much as I want!
“If you want to pay off your debt, you do your best.”
“……?”
“Then I’ll make the mistakes that were never made before.”
“Really? Didn’t Henry tell you anything about me?”
“I heard you’re touching some cards.”
“Hahahaha, touch me a little… It’s fun. I don’t know how long it’s been to receive such ambitious provocations. I’ll look forward to it, Mr. Jin.”
laugh out loud
You won’t be able to laugh later.
“But can I ask you one more thing?”
“Tell me.”
“Mr. Wolf, are you personally participating, or are you going out on behalf of someone?”
“Huh? Why are you asking that?”
Isn’t it?
Judging from Liaoxin’s reaction, it’s not strange to be the representative of the Macao faction.
Or are you hiding it?
“If not, that’s fine. Do what you didn’t hear.”
David tilted his head.
“I don’t think it’s not. What is it?”
“No. Don’t mind it, it’s nothing.”
It seems like you don’t really know about the Triad.
I went back to the cafe with Lucy along the way.
As soon as we got back, Liao Xin couldn’t stand it and opened his mouth.
“What happened? Is David Wolf going to the competition?”
“It’s coming out.”
“Oh my god! It’s over, it’s over.”
“But he doesn’t know about the rivalry between the Hong Kong and Macau factions. It’s probably a gambler who was invited to raise the level of the tournament.”
“No, as long as he came out, the Macao representative would be right. Raising the level is by inviting a well-known gambler, but there is no way to bring in such a world-class player.
“You don’t know?”
“Bang Won-ryang probably didn’t tell you. I don’t know, but he’s an overwhelming talent who can easily win the tournament.”
Is it that great?
Seeing my expression, Liao Xin sighed and added more words.
“Mr. Jindo is a gambler, so do you know about the world’s top 3 gamblers?”
“I’ve never heard of it.”
“One of them is David Wolff, who is said to be the disciple of Gary Parker.”
“A disciple of Gary Parker!?”
“Wow, now you’re a little surprised.”
“Is that true?”
“Actually, it’s called that. I don’t know if they were taught exactly, but it is known that both of them gambled often because they were mainly active in Australia. You can learn anything by playing a game for the same price as Gary Parker, so the young David Wolf must have learned a lot. That’s how I came up with it.”
Gary Parker’s disciple.
Does he know about clairvoyance like Henry did?
‘No, I don’t know. Because he said he didn’t use clairvoyance in the second half of his life as a gambler.’
In fact, what do you do if you know?
I can’t stop it even if I know it, so it’s a cheat.
“It must be fun. What will happen if I beat him?”
Liaoxin shook his head at my words.

“What do you mean by that? Any guesses?”
At Lana’s words, David silently put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it.
“Tell me something.”
“I’m thinking about it too. Looking at the conversations and tone of the previous conversation, it seems like there’s definitely something there.”
“That’s right, I felt the same way. Judging from the question, it seems like you’re doing it to check if you’re going out as someone’s representative.”
“It’s not unusual to go out as a proxy in a casino competition. Well, I never play as a proxy.”
“So. Maybe that’s it? Why sports betting or something like that?”
“If that’s the case, when I said I was going to lose, I would have said it was right and received it. But on the contrary, I told you to do your best.”
David narrowed his brow and flicked the cigarette ashes.
“Then ask that girl named Lucy. It seems like they were quite close in the past.”
“Yeah, it was a deep relationship…!”
She hurriedly closed her mouth, but Lana was already exuding cold air.
“Also.”
“No! It’s not that deep of a relationship, but what kind of friendship, yes, a friendship between a man and a woman.”
“Where is the friendship between a man and a woman? There are friendship games that are used as an excuse when we see the liver and gossip.”
“Why are our Lana so tight? No, why is there no friendship between a man and a woman!?”
“It’s not in my dictionary.”
“Heh heh heh, I heard that Europeans are open-minded, but I guess it’s different for each person. I’m so culture shock, right now.”
“I’m just asking because it’s okay. Have you met one or two girls on your way here? It’s not surprising anymore, chi.”
David rolled his lips and shoved his cigarette into the ashtray.
Then he quietly dialed the phone number.
“Hello? Lucy, it’s me.”
-yes.
“You know that before. What did the CEO do? There’s something about that, isn’t it?”
– Our representative said it was nothing. I have nothing more to say.
“Hey, don’t do that, tell me.”
-I’m sorry. I’m busy, so I’ll stop. See you on the day of the competition.
Tututu.
David shrugged and said proudly.
“Did you see this? Is this a conversation between people you’ve been close to? Let’s be cool.”
“All the women I’ve met so far were cold, didn’t you?”
“Is that so? Haha.”
David got up pretending not to know and grabbed his bag.
“Would you like to get up?”
“There seems to be something, but it can’t be like this. I’ll have to go find out.”
“How are you going to find out?”
“I’ll have to meet the person who invited me and ask.”
“Are you going to meet the triad boss?”
“If you ask me to meet as an excuse to say thank you for inviting me, I will meet you.”
“What if I say I don’t know?”
“At that time, you have to check the reaction slowly. If I’m the representative of your team and I gamble at the edge, I’ll be trembling.”
Lana shook her head and stood up.
“Let’s go.”
