202 episodes. should i say this?
After meeting with Robert Bardock,
Chris and Madduck immediately left for Kentucky, where Darkstar was training to prepare for the Arc de Triomphe.
It would be nice to spend a few days together in LA, but the Arc de Triomphe will be held in early October.
There are only two months left.
Since the Breeders Cup, which was being prepared in advance, was in November, he said that he was running out of time to build his body according to the changed schedule.
“Then we should be ready.”
I grabbed my cell phone and dialed the other side of the world.
Because of the time difference, it’s 4 am over there.
Usually it’s like a nuisance, but it doesn’t matter.
-hello?
“Carlson, are you training?”
The wake-up time of the rider is fast.
This is because they start managing their horses in the morning, such as exercising them.
If you are not diligent, you cannot be a racehorse partner who sleeps three hours a day.
– No, what are you doing?
“I wanted to inform you that the next tournament Dark Star will participate in has changed.”
– Are you changing? Didn’t you say you were going to the Breeders’ Cup to achieve the Grand Slam?
“Yeah, but something happened.”
I told you about what happened with Robert Bardock.
-Hmm, then the Hellmaster must also apply for the Arc de Triomphe.
“Are you qualified enough?”
-Yes, Hong Kong’s best racehorse has to be ineligible.
“There are only two months left, so prepare well.”
-Do not worry. But is Dark Star going to the Breeders’ Cup after the Arc de Triomphe?
“That’s right. Chris Marlowe says they’re both going to win.”
-You’re a monster, too, Darkstar.
“Let’s give the Breeders Cup to the Dark Star. He’ll have the stamina to win the Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders Cup in a row, but the Hellmaster is too much.”
– It doesn’t matter. Our goal is Hellmaster’s lust. Even the Arc de Triomphe is enough as a stage.
Hellmaster began his career there after New Year’s in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is a country with a high level of horse racing that is also classified as Part 1.
Moreover, since it is mainly operated as a sprinter, it can be said that it is most suitable for a Hellmaster.
As a result, Hellmaster won the most prestigious competitions, the Hong Kong International Race and the Elizabeth Cup, and became the third-generation champion.
So, the next goal is to prepare for the battle against the Dark Star, the only target that gave us a loss.
“Oh, but how is Grandpa doing now?”
-Yes, it was difficult to adjust to life in Hong Kong at first, but you are fine now.
Carlson’s grandfather, the legendary rider, Franz Connelly.
Upon learning that his grandson was left abroad, he quit the Daily Ranch and flew to Hong Kong.
And he became Hellmaster’s exclusive assistant.
“Yeah, let me know if you need anything.”
-Haha, I’m already receiving full support from Maju, what more do I need? It’s just a sincere support.
Cheering is not natural.
I must have wiped out Dark Star’s stake too, so I can fully support Hellmaster.
“Then see you in France.”

My visit to the US was so short.
But before returning to Australia, there was one more thing left to do.
It was to retrieve Stanley Wu’s chips.
He had promised at the time that he would be willing to pay the chip if Gary Parker really wanted Jayden Parker fired.
So I visited him with a handwritten signature left by Gary Parker.
“Hmm, is this what it is?”
Stanley glanced at the signature and looked at me and asked.
“Yes. Can’t you read it?”
“How can you read such an earthworm crawling handwriting. There is no such bad handwriting, either.”
Well, I don’t know if it’s a text or a picture.
“If you’re not sure, ask Henry.”
“I don’t want to contact him. That’s right, you’re lying to me to do something wrong.”
Oh yes.
Who dares to lie to the emperor of Macau?
-Ting.
With the sound of a coin bouncing, gold chips fly in an arc.
Grabbing it with his right hand, Stanley asked with a smile.
“How many chips did you collect?”
“This is the last one. I got Robert Bardock’s chips before coming here.”
“It’s Robert Bardock. It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. How about meeting you?”
“I’m tired of dealing with you. I have to be careful because every word I say seems to confuse me.”
“Heh heh, Gary felt the same way. So he said he always sent Henry to face-to-face.”
The country seems to have
There’s no one better than Henry to deal with Robert Bardock.
‘By the way, President Stanley doesn’t like Henry very much either. Shall I ask you why?’
I don’t think it’s because he doesn’t like him just because he rejected the brother-in-law’s offer.
It’s too childish to say that the three of us couldn’t make a decision.
“But why does the president hate Henry so much?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“I’m just curious. You like Gary, but you don’t really like Henry…”
“Heh heh, if you really hated it, would you have offered him a brother-in-law?
“Then you don’t like the offer because you turned it down?”
“There is nothing like that…”
Huh, is that really the reason?
It’s not some kind of secondary disease.
They say that you become a child when you get older. Is it true?
“But above all, Henry doesn’t show himself when dealing with people. I don’t like that. If it had been on the agenda, I would have fixed all those bad habits. Hahaha.”
“I do. Henry has that side.”
I smiled bitterly and nodded my head.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“No, what’s going on. Nothing’s going on.”
“Then why is your face that shape?”
“What’s wrong with my face?”
When asked, stroking his cheek, Stanley pointed a finger between his eyebrows.
“The forehead is narrow and the water is deep. That’s why it shouldn’t be happening.”
“Haha, do you see the contemplation?”
“To see people, you have to look at contemplation to a certain extent. However, attitude is more important than contemplation. If you have a dark face like now, you don’t look confident and luck doesn’t follow.”
“……”
Did I hurt my face like that?
I tossed and turned in bed for a few days because of my worries about Henry.
“Are you worried about the Royal Crown?”
“yes?”
“Isn’t that right. With a 38% stake in Chip, you can’t do anything about Jayden, and no matter how much you have Henry, you don’t know if the major shareholders will support you.”
“Henry would be able to convince them.”
“I don’t know. The major shareholders of the Royal Crown would be wary of him.”
“Are you on alert? Why?”
Henry was also told that he showed excellent management skills in relation to the casino business of the Royal Crown.
This would be welcomed by shareholders.
“When Henry left the Royal Crown, he didn’t just give up his stake. All those who lined up for Henry along with the stake shook. The same goes for institutions. That’s it.”
“Is that true?”
“Am I going to tell you something about farmland at this age?”
“But how do you know so much about the work of an Australian casino company that is not Macau?”
“I figured it out on my own. I was offended by what you said then, so I tried to help if it was true that Gary wanted Jayden fired.”
“That’s what I found out along the way.”
“That’s right. I’m called the emperor of Macau, but I’m not the godfather of the world’s casino industry.
That’s right.
The scale of the Macau casino industry has surpassed that of Las Vegas, so it is not wrong to say that he is the godfather.
“Actually, I told someone to secretly purchase the Royal Crown’s stake.”
Stanley said that the person was Lana, the CEO of CS Bank.
It is said that he made contact with one of the major shareholders through his personal network, paid a large sum of money and secured a 3% stake.
‘Lana is sure to work. I didn’t even talk about the stock purchase.’
I have more confidence again.
If she had given me a hint, my trust in her would have been broken at this point.
“Wouldn’t other shareholders also be able to buy it if they paid a huge sum?”
“Heh heh, I heard you got your feet in the mining industry, but it looks like you’ve got some money.”
“Compared to the president, he earns moderately.”
“Money is good, but it’s hard to convince the rest of them with money alone. That’s what the guy who sold the stake said so.”
“Then 3% of the secured stock is starch?”
“Heh, I don’t know. I told him to keep securing shares, but you’ll have to ask yourself how much you raked in.”
There are not many outstanding shares in the Royal Crown.
At best, about 30% of the total is called out of stock in the market.
Therefore, it is difficult to buy stocks that have been released on the market.
“Thank you for even 3%. That would be a big help.”
“I’m not giving it to you. It’s hard to misunderstand.”
“Okay, hahaha.”
can’t you give me some
A man with a lot of money.

Upon returning to Australia, he proudly pulled out five chips.
Henry nodded his head as he saw that.
“That’s great. I wouldn’t have been a good person.”
“It really is. It was the first time I’ve ever felt tired of being in the same room.”
“Heh heh, he’s such a person. But how did you get it?”
I told him about England, looking at him with curious eyes.
And the fact that I exchanged the shares of the Dark Star that I had.
“Hmm, it’s the horse’s share…”
“He looked quite upset.”
“That’s right. He’s also a self-made person, so he wouldn’t like the noble family, a symbol of the established power. Still, it’s a bit strange.”
Seeing Henry tilting his head, he couldn’t help but ask.
“What?”
“Do you think the scales are balanced?”
“Isn’t that just right?”
“Hmm, you might think so if you don’t know Robert Bardock, but I don’t think so.”
“……?”
“If you say that you trampled on the word Shipid, then what would be any real benefit to Robert Bardock? The remorse of flattening the nose of the nobles? Is it really worth the exchange for this chip?”
Was it because of what happened with the Triad in Macau in the past?
If you think about it deeply, even then, even if you were winning one horse, there was a real benefit of fighting inside the Triad.
But what does Robert Bardock gain by winning over that horse?
Wouldn’t it be more likely to be disadvantaged?
“I don’t think there’s much benefit other than relieving emotions, as Henry said.”
“Some people value the resolution of those feelings. Maybe the more money you have, the more you value it. But not Robert Bardock. He’s a thoroughly calculating person.”
“So, does that mean there’s another plan?”
Whoa, how many serpents are there in Robert Bardock or Henry?
“Well, I wasn’t there, so I can’t say for sure.”
“But isn’t it strange that Dark Star has a 20% stake and there are other motives for it?”
“It’s not like that either.”
Henry fiddled with his beard and continued.
“Did Robert Bardock say anything else?”
“Any other word?”
“I’m sure he’s got something to say other than anything that has to do with chips.”
Well, there was.
