131 episodes. From now on, the bridesmaids are you.
Liao Xin smiled and answered.
“Not all of them became Lisboa girls due to debt or kidnapping. There are not many of them, but most of them applied voluntarily because they wanted to earn a lot of money. 14K receives only a certain fee from the flower shop or pays the fee according to information. Mr. Jin signed a freelance contract with more money than that.”
It was as he said.
To elaborate, Gary and Henry in the past also said that they had quite a bit of fun using the Lisboa Girl in this kind of competition.
“Then what did you save other women?”
“Like 14K, use those women to gather information…”
Liaoxin frowned and glanced at me.
Lucy closed her eyes and urged.
“What else?”
“As the woman said earlier, you can enjoy a threesome or offer sexual favors to someone for business purposes. Probably because the level is higher than that of a restaurant outside of Lisboa Girl. In addition, Mr. There will be none.”
“Really, sir?”
Lucy asked me with a face that she didn’t want to be disappointed.
“It’s not wrong.”
“……!”
“But there is a better way.”
At my words, her expression brightened and she asked.
“How?”
“What are we going to get from this competition?”
“It’s about winning the Macau-based representatives in poker tournaments and making connections with powerful people in Asian countries.”
“If we were to question the importance, it would be the latter, right?”
“yes.”
“What is the purpose of the Lisboa girls?”
“It’s about turning your life around in the eyes of wealthy people.”
I nodded.
“Lily, if you stop, you’re one of the pretty good Lisboa girls around. There’s a saying in Korea that they play with each other. So I thought that people with whom she’s friendly would be okay. Wouldn’t it be nice to dress up neatly in a dignified style and approach wealthy people?”
“Well······”
“There is no Henry here, unlike at the last Melbourne Cup banquet hall. So, as a representative of All Mining, I need someone in the middle to connect me in a more natural way to approach them.”
I can’t tell Lucy, but that’s not all.
In the past, Gary is said to have used his ability to peek through Lisboa girls.
To win someone’s heart, the more information you know about that person, the better.
However, this place is not a street and there is a security guard, so it was difficult to mark with an unnatural touch.
So, the marked item is delivered to someone through Lisboa Girl.
It’s easy for women to approach men, and it’s easy to have skinship with them.
Moreover, the men who have come here will know.
The Lisboa girls’ purpose is to win their favor.
Therefore, he is not very wary of such women, and as Liao-shin said, he opens his mouth easily even on the bed.
“So, don’t worry, because I have no intention of offering sexual favors as an object to satisfy your sexual desires like Lucy is worried about.”
I headed to the casino entrance with Lucy, Park Yu-hyeon, and Liao-shin.
***
The interior of Grand Lisboa Casino was not much different from other casinos.
The only odd thing was that there were 8 poker tables in the center.
Perhaps it was prepared in advance for this competition.
-hello. This is May Wong, who is in charge of hosting the SWM International Poker Tournament.
A Chinese man with a microphone caught people’s attention with his fluent English.
-First of all, I would like to thank all the distinguished guests who responded to our SWM invitation. The contest participants will be provided with a week’s free accommodation and a hotel restaurant voucher regardless of win or loss, and charter flights will be provided when returning to their home country. Also, a gold bar will be given to commemorate the participation, so please stay tuned until the last day.
May Wong gave an explanation and walked slowly to the poker table.
– There are a total of 48 participants in this competition. Those who have been specially selected and received invitations, or their representatives, poker players. The satellites (preliminaries) will be divided into groups 1 and 2, and the final 16 will advance to the finals. First, check each group on the electronic signboard and check the name and table number.
3 people per table.
Only one of them can qualify for the finals.
I belonged to group 1.
And David Wolfe is in group 2.
If he made it to the finals, he had to make it to the finals to face him.
Did you deliberately create a draw like this?
-Group 1 will play first, then there will be a 30-minute break, and group 2 will be the target. Group 1 participants, please go to the assigned table.
I straightened my clothes and prepared to go out.
“Chief, you must win.”
“CEO, I wish you to advance to the finals.”
“If it was Mr. Jin, of course he would win, so be gentle. Don’t overdo it.”
Say thank you to Lucy and Yoohyeon.
For Lyusin,
“Did you forget that it’s my specialty to turn around in a hurry?”
“Isn’t that right. Because of that blackjack back then, even now, I still play games just by looking at 2 hearts.”
That’s right, I made a blackjack at the end with Heart 2 and won.
I don’t know how it will be because it’s poker this time.
One dealer at the table.
And two players except me were already seated.
About them, Ryausin had informed them in advance.
Since most of them are VVIPs, I knew the approximate personal information.
‘Jo Roy, right-hand man of the Malaysian Prime Minister. And Myanmar’s second-generation tycoon Raong Shetaon.’
Joe Roy is a financier who manages the prime minister’s illegal funds.
Laon Shettaon said he was the heir to the real estate group.
Financial and real estate giants have been attached to me since the preliminary round.
Is this also a joke on the part of the organizers?
“Hello, this is Cassie in charge of the dealer.”
A beautiful woman with heavy makeup said hello and started explaining the game.
The rule of this tournament is Texas Hold’em, the most representative poker game.
Texas Hold’em is a type of poker used in the most prestigious poker tournament, the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
As it is classified as a community card game and there are 5 cards to be revealed, it can be said that it is a poker game full of urgency because the three factors of skill, luck, and psychology must match.
“First, we will pay the basic stack. Please take this into account as it will be collected after the game is over.”
Kathy distributed the starting chips to the players, including myself.
If calculated in Korean won, it was about 500 million won per person.
“Additional buy-ins allow you to build more stacks, and you’re a satellite, so you’re limited to one. So the game is Freeze-Out, until one player has all the chips.”
Joe Roy asked her what she said.
“Buy-in, can I do it now?”
“That’s right.”
“Is the limit unlimited?”
“It’s a qualifier, so you can get up to 10 million dollars.”
“Can’t you do more?”
“Please understand that the rules have already been set.”
“Isn’t it more possible in the finals?”
“That’s right.”
“Okay. Then buy-in ten million dollars.”
Joe Roy built a big stack by exchanging about 12 billion won for chips.
Seeing that, Laon Shettaon also exchanged the same amount.
In gambling, the more capital you have, the more advantageous it is.
Compared to the big stack, the small stack had smaller betting options and was easy to get into a corner psychologically.
“Are you okay with player number 3?”
Kathy asked me to exchange.
“Okay. I’ll use it later if I need it.”
I wish I had something to write about.
“It’s a friend I haven’t seen in Macau, but like who did you come out for your father?”
Joe Roy asked with a smile on his round face.
At those words, Raon Shetaon grunted as he cleaned up his chips.
“Are you telling me to listen now?”
“Well? Looks like there’s something stabbed. I see the reaction is intense.”
“After a silly psychological warfare. Anyway, that’s all the servants think about there.”
“It’s better than the beggar king who ate the bastard of the big house.”
Raon Shetaon shrugged when he compared himself to a beggar.
It was an insult that compared the economic level of Malaysia and Myanmar, but he didn’t care.
“At the level of the Malays. That’s a big deal. The people entrust their country’s treasury to a guy who uses the state treasury like his own wallet, and he leaves the key to the treasury to a casino or a gamer who moves around with country money.”
“Isn’t the Shetaon group the company that sucked up the people’s blood by colluding with the military?
When I saw the nerves between the two of them, I breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no shame in the fact that both of them are skipping blood tax.
Joe Roy seemed to regard the Malaysian treasury as a personal safe, and Raong Shwetaon showed his identity that Myanmar was Myanmar and that he was only the successor of the Shetaon group.
‘Yes, this must be their way of thinking.’
Once again, I think that Ko Sang-moon was still a yangban.
If the upper classes in Malaysia and Myanmar are like that, I can’t imagine how many underdeveloped countries really can’t afford.
And it seemed that it would not be easy to do the mining industry in such an environment.
‘Well, let’s think about it later.’
First, focus on the present.
I cut between the two of them, pushing a $10,000 chip forward.
“Come on, it’s a blind call. Stop wrestling and let’s play a gamble.”
From now on, the bridesmaids are you.
***
Is Kang Jun-ho safe thanks to the invitation letter saved by Ko Sang-moon? We were able to enter and exit the Grand Lisboa Hotel.
He is waiting at the entrance. After seeing the entrance of Vice Minister Son Young-seok and Manager Jang Min-soo, he secretly followed them.
They then filmed the people they came in contact with with a miniature camera disguised as a button on their jacket.
‘Hmm…’
Do not have long conversations with people you come in contact with at the casino entrance.
I could only say hello to people I knew, or I could see that they were looking at each other in this place, which was also a social gathering place.
‘Probably the latter.’
It is an act of promoting oneself and searching for people who need it for business at the same time.
No matter how much they did, they wouldn’t have been able to secure a list of people who attended today.
Son Young-seok and Jang Min-soo immediately headed to the casino business.
At the farm, the contest host’s remarks were just beginning.
And the match mark on the billboard.
Kang Jun-ho shook his head slightly.
‘James Son Table 8, Deputy Minister Son Young-seok is 1 trillion.’
He glanced at Son Young-seok and Jang Min-soo across the other side with a squint.
They were talking to each other looking at the billboard.
It was probably about the opponent who will sit at the same table.
‘Because it’s the end of the world. It’s nominal, but a high-ranking public official who is equivalent to a vice-minister appears in a poker tournament where the stakes are tens of millions of won.’
Blinds are 10,000 US dollars.
At the current exchange rate, that’s about 12 million won.
It was also the first time, and there is a rule that the blinds rise as time goes by, so it was clear that the billions would be ridiculous.
‘uh!?’
As the preliminaries of such a competition started and the group 1 participants moved, Kang Jun-ho’s eyes turned to one person.
‘Jin Yu-seong!? Why is that friend here?’
I quickly checked the billboard and checked the tables to find out.
‘Edward Jean? Are you using your English name now?
Kang Jun-ho paid attention to Jin Yu-seong’s table with curious eyes.
