Also in Las Vegas, at the other end of this famous casino, in a small casino that is not large, but has a decent footfall.Rimi.
Leber is washing the playing cards in his hand.This handsome man, with broken brown hair, with a hint of decadence, can't see his age clearly, and always has a temperament that can attract young sisters.He sat reclining in his chair in a slightly swinging position, a wad of playing cards flying in his hand, as if given life, swimming between his fingers.That extraordinary shuffling technique is like the tricks that stage magicians can play.But the few gamblers who can sit at this table are all old gamblers with vicious eyes, and they can easily distinguish the difference between flower work and real skills.In this world, gambling is the root of all evil.Ordinary people are doomed to death, but in the hands of some guys with special skills, evil things can indeed be played as an art."
I really don't understand..."
The shuffling man moved his shoulders, put the shuffled cards on the table, and with a flick of his fingers, the 54 cards were arranged in an absolutely precise way like open flowers.He turned his head away, and the bunny girl standing behind him immediately obediently offered the man a silk card cigarette and lit it for him with a lighter with a skull with sound quality.In the smoke, the decadent man, in a hoarse voice, said to several other gamblers who had come from afar: "Why do you always line up to send me money, is it like a nonsense rumor that you rich people have money blowing in the wind?"
”"That's not going to happen."
A Mediterranean-headed uncle with a gentle smile moved his hands and said with a smile: "We just heard that there is a real 'master' in this place, money, this thing is not used for pleasure, not for seeing strange things in this world, isn't it just a bunch of useless numbers?"
”"Tsk, the life of a rich person is really boring."
The young man replied in amazement.He flicked his fingers and quickly distributed the cards in his hand to the four people on the table except him, and the game began at this moment, and the originally noisy gamblers next to him also shifted their attention to this side.Even though the table was in the corner, it was unobtrusive.Even though the few people sitting at the table weren't the kind of people who had the aura of the protagonist themselves, anyone who hung out here knew that there was always a game of cards every Friday, at that fixed time.For the last 5 years, the tradition has never been broken, and the qualifications to join that table are crude and crude...
The minimum gambling limit is 1 million, and there is no upper limit.Doesn't sound like much, especially for this crazy place like Las Vegas.But the dogs who have gambled on the top tend to increase their stakes after losing, so the final bet of the mystery hand every Friday always turns into an astronomical amount.Of course, what is even more legendary about this urban legend is that as the sole owner of the old gaming table, Rimi, known as the "King of Cards".
Leber, this mysterious, ageless man, from the day the gamble opened to the present...
Haven't lost once!
It stands to reason that after winning so many games, his net worth has long been astronomical, but as you can see, the man who has won nearly 300 games for 5 years is still down.The old trench coat hanging on the side, the cane with a fake crystal head at hand, and the silk card cigarette that has not been changed for thousands of years, all prove that his standard of living is no higher than that of the homeless man on the street.So much money, enough to easily crush the money of ordinary people, how did he spend it?
It's a mystery.Moreover, many of the thug boys who try to "ask" the whereabouts of the gambling money in a less friendly way will always mysteriously disappear from the city after besieging the Emperor of Cards.Over time, everyone knew that this guy was someone they couldn't afford to mess with."
Let's get started."
His Excellency held a cigarette and casually picked up the cards in his hand, in fact, this legendary game itself, in fact, there is nothing to say, it is the most ordinary 5-player poker game.But gamblers who are immersed in this way know that the simplest things are often the most difficult to master.The onlookers held their breath and watched the cards fall one by one, they didn't really care about the process, they just cared about the scene when the mysterious card king won again.After a 5-year winning streak, for Rimi.
Leber's confidence has turned into a kind of blind obedience, and even in the betting that is dominated by this game every Thursday, there are a lot of people who will bet on the victory of the card.Despite the frighteningly low yields of that betting.Time passed minute by minute and stood in Rimi.
The bunny girl behind Leber, who is also his bed partner in Las Vegas for the past few years, has become disturbed by nervousness.Her expression seemed to reveal the awfulness of the Ace's hand, which made the other four people at the table subconsciously look at each other.Ah, this is a "hunt".4 vs. 1...
No matter how powerful the legendary card king is, he will lose."
Bang" At the last moment of the gambling game, the ears of the expressionless Pai Huang suddenly moved, and the faint explosion sound from a distance made his face change slightly.He reached out and grabbed the cane at hand, stood up, stuffed the two cards in his hand into the hand of the unknown bunny girl, and patted her plump buttocks as he picked up her coat.The King turned back to the other four and said, "She played the last two cards for me, I'm in a bit of a hurry, everyone, I'm sorry, I had a great time playing with you, even though your poker skills are terrible...
But I still hope that we will have the opportunity to continue playing next time. ”After saying that, Rimi quickly opened the window and jumped down from the second floor, agile like a running cheetah.This sudden accident caused an uproar in the casino.But the bunny girl sitting in the chair shrugged her shoulders, and she generously displayed the cards in her hand, and then grabbed the gambling bag on the table with great difficulty.No suspense anymore.What the king of cards left her were two trump cards that were absolutely impossible to be overturned in the current situation.As the mysterious man said, in fact, at the beginning of this gamble, he was already sure of victory, for these four gamblers, gambling may be a hobby, a fanatic.But for Pai Wang, it is life, fate, and every breath.It's not the same thing at all.Between the swing of the "bang" windbreaker, the Pai Huang who grabbed the cane galloped like a ghost in the dark alley, and it only took him 2 minutes to come from where he was to the place where the spirit butterfly was attacked.This kind of rapid galloping made his breathing slightly disordered, and the moment he landed, he happened to see the scene of the katana in Ling Die's hand being shattered by the Heavenly Wing's fingers.The mercenary spurted blood from the corner of her mouth, and was knocked upside down by the finger, hitting the wall across the street, knocking out a human-shaped depression.Pai King did not hesitate at all.With both mutants living in the same city, and both serving the same organization, rescuing the Butterflies is more than just about friendship.Rimi.
The first half of Leber's life was terrible, he was a very talented mutant, and he also encountered problems that only geniuses would encounter, and the abilities in his body grew too fast, and in his teens, he exceeded the limit of what the King of Cards could tolerate at that time.He suffered from severe migraines and even had a half-paralyzed body, and became in a vegetative state.In search of life, he leaves his hometown in New Orleans to head to the famous Xavier Mutant Academy, but when he arrives in New York, he meets someone who can change his life.Not Merlin.It was Merlin's good comrade-in-arms, who was still busy pretending to be a big man on Wall Street at the time, a black light investor who harvested his soul with money.
Hellstorm.The half-demon cured the Emperor of Cards and helped him control his abilities perfectly.Of course he was not so kind, and in return, Rimi.
Leber became a senior business consultant at Blacklight Investments, and his most important job on weekdays was to spend time in Las Vegas and make money for Dimon.Therefore, every penny in a special account of the famous Black Light Investment Company, the holding company of the children of hell in the world, is clean, and it is all won by the king of cards with technology.This mysterious gambler alone supported the operation of a branch of the Black Light Investment Company, and from this point of view, Pai Huang is indeed a genius of gambling.He was gambling for his life, and he couldn't help it.The "Bang La" card emperor raised his finger, and when his left hand with black gloves waved, more than a dozen playing cards shining with purple light shot like flying knives towards the apocalypse suspended in mid-air.The mutant tyrant didn't even look at this sneak attack.When the playing cards infused with energy were 20 meters away from him, they were all detonated in the air by an invisible force, but the purple arc light did not drift away, but wrapped around the apocalypse like smoke bombs.The explosive energy controlled by the Emperor of Cards is accompanied by the power of mental isolation, which is almost a strange version of the sealed smoke, and the entire street is tightly enclosed.This special ability made the purple smoke-wrapped Apocalypse smile with interest, and he waved his hand, and a gust of wind comparable to that of the Storm Girl appeared, blowing the purple mist away.But in front of his eyes, there was no trace of the Pai King, the seriously injured Spirit Butterfly, and the unconscious Domino.Apocalypse chuckled, he looked at the empty dark alley on his left with appreciative eyes, and he whispered, "The world in 200 years is really full of surprises.I thought I would only get one knight, but now, I've got two...
What a blessing. ”Just as Apocalypse was getting serious and about to end this game of hide and seek, the bracelet-shaped communicator on his wrist suddenly sounded, and Mr.
Omen's voice emerged from it."
Venerable Master of the Apocalypse, I've gotten the locker in Utopia that holds all the current mutant gene fragments, but I've had a minor problem...""
I'm sorry I let you down, but I'm not their opponent.""
Them?"
Apocalypse blinked, and the mutant tyrant said in a calm tone, "Then delay, I need a few minutes." ”The figure of the "Hum" Tyrant disappeared in place, and when it reappeared, it stepped out of the unbroken space, as if emerging from the mirror of the dark alley.Apocalypse waved his arms, and the Pai Emperor, who fled with the Spirit Butterfly and Domino, was like being hit by an invisible warhammer.The powerful mutant flipped several times in the air before falling to the ground in embarrassment, and he tried to stand up, but the next second, Apocalypse's left hand, which moved like a ghost, pressed against the forehead of the card.A fragment of a phoenix was crumpled and injected into Pai Wang's body.The other fragment was casually dropped by the Apocalypse in the center of the Spirit Butterfly and Domino, and the familiar white light lit up, enveloping the two ladies in it."
I call you 'Destiny'!"
Apocalypse said to the white light, turned his head to look at the card emperor who was half-kneeling in front of him, and said, "As for you, you can call it 'game'." ”"And the last knight, well, maybe I should find a symbol of more religious significance, mortals always numb themselves with faith, presumably, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the faith."—————————— Utopia Island, Mr.
Omen is hiding in the research lab of this mutant base camp, he has found the equipment to store all the mutant genetic samples, and there is indeed a group of tricky guys out there searching for him.But with his abilities, he can take the device away from utopia without being detected.He has his own plans.Call the apocalypse to come, let the difficult guys face the apocalypse, and then, take the opportunity to do something else...
If he's not mistaken, the little cable, which he sees as his ultimate hope, should still be on Utopia Island by now.The early awakening of the apocalypse is a big bad thing, but as long as there is preparation, as long as there is an opportunity, it can also become a good thing for oneself.A loud bang rang out in the middle of Utopia Island, and Mr.
Omen heard a cacophony of shouts coming from outside the lab, as well as the heavy pressure that the apocalypse would put on him.This made Mr.
Omen's face happy.It's great that this cunning guy knows that the apocalypse has come.He looked left and right, reached out and placed his hand on the huge genetic sample storage device behind him, and as if by magic, the huge silver-white cabinet immediately disappeared into thin air.After doing all this, Mr.
Omen reached out and straightened his furious, white lace-trimmed collar, pushed open the door to the laboratory, looked left and right, and then walked to the area where Miss Madeleine and the little cable were.His plan will not fail!
On the other side, in the middle of Utopia Island, the beautiful home city of the mutants, a third of which has been destroyed by the Heavenly Activation Energy Ball, the mutant tyrant holding his arms and floating in the sky with a blank face.Beneath him, the Knights of Destiny, composed of folded Spirit Butterfly and Domino, were holding their crimson katana, a face that looked like Spirit Butterfly's cheeks, but with the iconic scars on Domino's face, there was a cold and cruel killing intent.Beside her, stood the knight of the game.The appearance of the former Pai King is no different from before, but a pair of eyes as gentle as a lover have turned dark red, and he wears a black denim suit, a trench coat, and a black cowboy hat.He was playing a purple poker in his hand, and his face was equally cold.In front of the heinous trio, Wolverine and Strange fold into spell weapons, Tony and Shazam fold into steel powers, and hide in the air, Inhumans and Green Lantern fold into atomic spotlights.And the untouched X-Men.Colossus, Phantom Cats, Icemen, Angels, the entire Utopia that can still fight, and they are led by Batman standing on top of a ruin, arms folded and capes flying.When it was needed most, support from outside the world finally returned.The big war is about to break out.()
