In the transaction that was recently busted, Ludo was the only one whose gaze was directly on He Ao.

He also witnessed the entire process of He Ao shooting: raising the gun, pulling the trigger, the bullet piercing the vagrant's forehead. Everything was so smooth, like a painter sketching a perfect stroke on a canvas.

Everyone thought it was just a novice shooting under tension, but only Ludo caught that hint of extreme indifference. It was the composure of an experienced hunter facing an unsuspecting prey.

And at this moment, he was that unsuspecting prey.

A bone-chilling coldness covered his back, as if every single hair was trembling and standing on end.

He looked into He Ao's eyes, seeing the coldness in the deepest part of those pupils. He knew that He Ao would really shoot.

When a fierce hunter is unrestrained, they become the most terrifying presence in the dark night.

The arrogance and swagger from moments ago were now shattered by the cold muzzle. Ludo trembled, his legs involuntarily bending and shaking.

"So, can we go in now?"

He Ao's wrist didn't move at all, only the muzzle lowered slightly, aiming directly at Ludo's forehead.

"But..."

Ludo trembled and opened his mouth, but his words were interrupted by a voice that suddenly came from the darkness.

Clap—clap—clap—

A man over 1.8 meters tall, with a broad back and thick waist, and slicked-back hair, walked out from the shadows on one side.

He clapped his hands together, making a crisp sound.

"Ander... Investigator?" He smiled, looking at He Ao, and directly reached out to grab the back of Ludo's collar, pulling him behind him. "For the Federal Bureau of Investigation to produce a newcomer like you, Smith must be laughing in his dreams."

"Viktor, you're out of prison?"

Selina immediately stepped forward and stood in front of He Ao.

He Ao lowered his gun. Since the other party could naturally drag Ludo away under his muzzle, it proved that the other party was not afraid of him shooting at all. However, he did not put away his gun, but maintained a posture of vigilance.

"Not by chance, I just regained my freedom," Viktor smiled and nodded. "I didn't expect to encounter something so interesting right after getting out."

He looked at He Ao and extended his hand. "Little brother Ander, let me introduce myself. My name is Viktor, and I'm currently barely considered the manager of this casino."

He Ao hesitated for a moment, preparing to extend his hand.

"This is the boss of the Money Rat Gang. He's very dangerous, be careful."

Selina stepped aside by half a step, leaving space for He Ao to shake hands, and quietly warned him.

"Hello, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Ander."

He Ao nodded slightly and reached out to shake Viktor's hand.

Viktor didn't make any small movements, nor did he make any attempts to probe. He simply shook hands, then smiled and let go. "My useless subordinate just lost that round, but I'm out now, and it wouldn't be right to just let you in. How about this,"

He waved his hand, and immediately a subordinate moved a gambling table over.

"Casino matters are decided at the gambling table. Three rounds determine life and death. If you win, you can inspect the Crown Casino however you like today. If you lose, please go back home. If there really is a suspect mixed in the casino, I will catch him and personally deliver him to the front door of the Federal Bureau of Investigation."

Their current location was a corner at the entrance, and people coming and going wouldn't notice them unless they looked closely. Therefore, although the argument between He Ao and Ludo just now attracted some attention, it didn't draw a crowd.

But as soon as Viktor sat down at the gambling table, a crowd immediately gathered around.

For gamblers, there was nothing more exciting than gambling.

"What are we betting on?"

Selina asked in a low voice.

"Miss Selina, we wouldn't dare bet with you," Viktor looked at He Ao, "I wonder if little brother Ander is willing to participate in this gamble?"

Someone like Selina, with advanced prosthetics all over her body, would be asked to leave the casino or have many games restricted even if she entered. After all, it was too unfair to other gamblers.

After hearing Viktor's question, He Ao looked at Selina.

After all, Selina was his direct superior.

Selina looked at He Ao's calm face, thought for a moment, and nodded gently.

So He Ao looked at Viktor, "Okay."

Then he added, "What are we playing? I've never been to a casino before, I don't know the rules."

Selina, who was about to retreat behind He Ao, almost lost control of her body and stumbled. She had just looked at He Ao's calm and confident face and thought he was a hidden master.

"Then let's choose a simpler one, Blackjack," Viktor took two steps back and looked to the side. His subordinate immediately understood and handed him a deck of cards. As Viktor tore open the packaging of the cards, he explained,

"This game is very simple. First, remove the two jokers from the deck. Then the dealer deals two face-down cards to each player participating in the game. Players can freely choose to turn over one of them, and then they can choose to continue hitting or stand. When all players have stood,"

Viktor picked out the two jokers from the deck and threw them aside, "The game ends. Players turn over the remaining face-down card and add up all the points to compare. Face cards count as ten points. The side with the higher total wins. If the total is the same, it's a tie. But if the total points exceed twenty-one, boom~"

Viktor mouthed the word "explosion", "Then it's zeroed out directly, and you lose this gamble."

He placed the cards in the middle and stood in the middle of the side of the gambling table himself.

He Ao looked at him in confusion, "You're not gambling with me?"

"Of course, my skills aren't very good," Viktor smiled, looked at Ludo who was slowly getting up in the crowd, and then turned to look at He Ao, "You always have to give someone a chance."

Ludo didn't catch his boss's hint, but someone else did, so he was directly dragged to the gambling table, directly opposite He Ao.

He Ao didn't look at Ludo, but at Viktor, "I think if we're gambling with the casino, wouldn't it be more appropriate to find a less skilled dealer?"

The implication was that he didn't think Viktor was suitable to be the dealer.

"Then let Miss Selina be the dealer."

Viktor was stunned by He Ao's question, then smiled and looked at Selina, "After all, a beautiful lady as the dealer is much better than a big, rough man like me."

"Hahaha"

Laughter of agreement immediately came from the surrounding crowd.

The casino is actually a very pure place. It is simple and crude, bringing together the most essential human desires: greed, tyranny, lust. All desires are displayed without reservation in the shouting, the clinking of chips, the laughter, and the crying.

Selina hadn't quite reacted yet, but she knew this was advantageous to their side.

She couldn't cheat. The surrounding people were all old casino employees, and Viktor was there. It would be very easy for her to be discovered if she cheated. But this at least ensured that, as a dealer, she was fair.

If Viktor were dealing the cards, she might not be able to detect if he was cheating.

"Can I examine this deck of cards?"

Before Selina took the cards, He Ao suddenly said.
