136 episodes. No, really.
“You don’t know that? Didn’t you say Henry told you before?”
David asked with a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know about other people. That’s what Henry told me when he recommended you with the Swiss thing. He’s a person who doesn’t care about money and he’s the one who got the chip.”
“I see. But it’s kind of weird, isn’t it?”
“Yes? What?”
“Not two, but only one of Henry’s chips, and you’re greedy for other people’s chips? You didn’t even know what kind of chip it was?”
oh my, that’s hot
As a gambler, he is a very quick-witted person.
“I have a bit of a lust for collecting. I’m a little greedy because they say there are only 5 in Australia.”
“Yeah? You’re greedy, so why didn’t you ask Henry about the whereabouts of the rest of the chips?”
“What happened? And how are people’s hearts the same? At first, I was just curious, but after receiving that chip, my greed grew more.”
“So you plan to have the rest of the chips?”
“If possible?”
“Isn’t the Royal Crown coveted?”
Why are you squirming like this?
If you’ve come all the way here, of course you’ll be greedy.
“Before answering that question, let me ask you one thing. It’s bearer stock, but when you got the chips, you were a major shareholder of the Royal Crown. What do you think about Jayden’s management style?”
“What do you think, of course, it’s bullshit. If I had cracked the code and owned the stock, I would have immediately submitted a proposal to dismiss the CEO at the general shareholders’ meeting.”
“Is the owner of the other chips the same?”
“Well, I don’t think those people are interested. I did too, but with the chip alone, you can exercise your vote at the general shareholders’ meeting, but you can’t exercise your own power, such as raising an agenda. . If you don’t know the code, it’s like the cake in the picture. There’s also Uncle Gary’s request, but that’s the biggest reason I’m losing interest.”
There are other limitations with bearer stocks.
It seemed to be a precautionary measure prepared with great care to defend Jayden’s management rights.
“Then I can’t say that I covet the Royal Crown even if I have all the chips.”
“Should I just say that as a gambler, it comes down to? Somehow, Edward, you feel like you’re hiding a joker.”
It’s very ghostly, did you get some godsends?
“There is no such thing. And the reason I want to collect all the chips is because of the aforementioned Jayden Parker.”
“Why Jayden?”
“I was with Henry at the Melbourne Cup banquet hall and we met by chance.”
“It’s understandable. You must have had an argument, right?”
“Yeah, that was pretty rude to Henry.”
“He’s the one who will remain.”
I asked, fiddling with the chip in my hand.
“If I had all those chips, wouldn’t I be more polite in the future?”
“I might be lying flat on the floor.”
“That’s it. So tell me now. Who’s got the rest of the chips?”
David tapped the table with his finger.
“For now, one is the emperor of Macau here.”
“……!”
“Stanley Wu has one.”
“Is that true?”
“Yeah, I said earlier that the two of you were brother-in-law.”
They said there were only five in Australia, so I thought they were in Australia.
must have been abroad
“And who else has it?”
“Robert Bardock.”
“Yes? If it’s Robert Bardock, isn’t he the president of the Bardock Corporation?”
“That’s right, that person.”
“Weren’t you static and rival?”
That person is the president of a competitor, right?
“There is a saying in business that there are no permanent enemies and no permanent allies.”
“How can you make a competitor’s chairman a major shareholder?”
“Mr. Bardock doesn’t run a casino business. To be honest, his competitor is a P&B group.”
“Nevertheless.”
“No one knows exactly what he was thinking. All I know is that he took such a troublesome approach because he knew his son was incompetent. Does that mean he needed to do that?”
“……”
After listening to David’s words, I wondered if I could eat the Royal Crown again.
Thanks to getting his cornea, his life was turned upside down, but before he died, I was going to destroy what I wanted to protect?
I don’t think this is Kang-ho’s way.
Even if I get a chip, I thought I should only enjoy my rights as a major shareholder.
“Why don’t you ask about the last one?”
David asked me a question first to see if it was a long thought.
“Isn’t the rest Gary Parker’s own?”
that’s what i have
“not really.”
what? no?
So what was inside the compass?
“Then who has it?
“It’s gone.”
“Maybe it was stolen?”
“I heard that it wasn’t his wife Scarlett’s, but he died shortly after founding the casino group. So everyone thought his son, Jaden, would have gotten it. But later I found out that he didn’t even have one.”
“……!”
That’s why I kept carrying the compass with me throughout my life.
“Later, when Jaden found out about it, he went mad. He dug his mother’s grave and checked the coffin to find it.”
“Damn, after President Gary Parker passed away?”
“No, when he was in bed today and tomorrow. If he had given him a small amount of his stake, he begged me to give him that before he died, but he remained silent until the end and closed his eyes.”
I can only guess why the compass and chip came to me through Ben Logan.
Even though he was a son, maybe he didn’t want to give it to a bastard who was digging his mother’s grave because of the stake?
‘People say their hearts are reeds, should I eat again…’
It’s as if an angel and a devil were split between the blades and whispered in my ear.
An angel who told me not to touch what the benefactor who changed my life was trying to protect,
He gave his wife chips, but the devil whispered a message to him to take over the group instead of his son.
It was an internal conflict in which a decision could not be easily made.
“Thank you, David. I learned a lot thanks to you.”
“What. Even if it wasn’t me, I would have known if I had asked Lucy. If you’re really grateful, I’ll find Rana quickly.”
“I’ll do my best.”
“Yeah, and you said something earlier.”
“……?”
“Isn’t there a real Joker? Are you not lying?”
One look is scary
I can see why his nickname is wolf.
“No, really.”
I have to be careful when I play poker.

next day.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and opened them wide as soon as I woke up.
Because four women entered the room one after another.
They are three Lisboa girls, including Lily.
Last night, the luxuriously decorated girls came to me after spending the night at the choices of upper-class people.
“Mr. Jin, did you have a good dream?”
At Lily’s words, I nodded awkwardly.
I’ve been dreaming
Even though angels and demons fight all night saying I’m right.
“Are these three friends you talked about back then?”
“Yes, they are pretty, aren’t they?”
There were some dresses and precious metals that I spent money on, but it was definitely enough to nod my head.
“Shall we hear the story first?”
At my question, Lily began to explain the people who chose them last night.
They each had quite a bit of power and wealth in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, and Cambodia, and I thought that they were good enough to give me rounds of applause.
Although Cambodia is somewhat inferior, it is because they are all countries with a high proportion of natural resources in the economy.
However, there was a part that made me frown in Lily’s description of them.
“What did you just say? Korean?”
“Yeah, maybe it’s just a coincidence that we all saw two Koreans approaching them. After talking, it was the same person. Hoho.”
Her words reminded me of the two people that Kang Jun-ho had told me.
Deputy Minister Son Young-seok and Manager Jang Min-soo.
According to the description, it would be obvious that they were the same even as they were wearing impressions.
‘Hmm, are you trying to poke around all the countries with a lot of resources?’
Kang Jun-ho said they would have come to lobby.
In order to carry out the resource diplomacy project without any problems, it is necessary to establish a relationship with the powerful people of the country.
So, in a way, it’s similar to my purpose, so I didn’t know it was natural for them to be related like this.
‘I want to avoid bumping into each other as much as possible, but the lines overlap.
What? Would you like to just touch me?
Or should we look over there for a moment and move?
I didn’t mind and wanted to do whatever I wanted, but Henry’s advice caught me off guard.
Yeah, let’s not scrape it for nothing.
“For now, everyone is doing what they’ve been doing.”
“yes?”
“Now, if those people are okay with it, it’s up to you whether to win their hearts or find other powerful people.”
“Mr. Jean, weren’t you trying to use us as informants?”
“I meant to do that… Oh, it’s hard to explain, so I just do it. Don’t look at me for nothing. I’ll pay the money I promised you first.”
Lily looked at me with meaningful eyes and bowed her head briefly.
“Okay. We’re just doing what the sponsors tell us to do.”
“I hope you get what you want. Stop it.”
“Yes, Mr. Jean.”

After leaving Hotengbang, Lily turned to her friends.
“How are you? Are you okay?
“That’s right. There are no unreasonable demands, such as what you need to know, bring it. Be gentle and polite.”
“There’s a lot of barrels there, and we’ll pay the promised money even if we do whatever we want. We need to catch a guy like that, chit.”
“Ho-ho, are you doing this because of the female secretary?”
“Yeah, she keeps her eyes on and she’s staring.”
“What do you do with the subject of a secretary, do you have a relationship with that person by any chance?”
Lily shook her head vigorously.
“I don’t think it was. No, no. It’s obvious.”
“Then do a dash. Do whatever you want.”
“Hmm…”
A proposal to stab her again came to her worried.
“Don’t do that, I saw earlier that Mr. Jin seemed to care about those Koreans.”
“Huh? Yes, it was.”
“You’re approaching those people and digging up this and that information. And if you tell Mr. Jean, won’t your liking for you increase?”
“Is that so?”
“You know why. You don’t know when you see Mr. Jin sponsored us? I want to connect with powerful people, but those Koreans are annoying. “
Lily thought it was a very likely word.
“Yeah, I think you’re right.”
“I’m sure. Besides, you also have good merits, so you might be able to get the information Mr. Jin wants?”
“Is it a merit?”
“Uh huh, why is he so arrogant these days? You’re Korean-Chinese, so you understand Korean. Then you won’t be able to understand all the conversations they have in Korean when they’re together.”
“……!”
It’s about pretending to be Chinese.
Her proposal was not difficult.
It’s hard to tell the difference between a Chinese and a Korean-Chinese by appearance.
Mr. Jin was found out because he spoke Korean, but if he only spoke Chinese, there was no fear of being caught.
“If you do well, shoot me a chin.”
“Ugh, am I an idiot for following today?”
“That’s how much I like that guy. Good luck, this one.”
Lily shook her head briefly.
