”My business here is done” I said, ”I' some free time”
”Finished?” Jack was surprised, ”Aren't you just starting?”
”You wanna know the story?”
”Yeah, boss Tell me”
”Might as well!” I walked and talked, ”To deal with anyone, what's the ?”
”It's…”
”It is to understand him!” I said, ”His weaknesses”
”Yeah, that's why you sent Marfa for his intel, right?”
”Bingo, next we could make use of the intels to analyze thisand stubborn pride are his weaknesses, and he never admits those”
”So you deal with him with poker?”
”Playing cards is not the only way!” I said, ”But for us, it's the most simple way”
”So, boss, how do you know that he will keep playing?”
