Chapter 1601 (1/2)
”My dream is to lie in a pile of banknotes and count them.”
On the ivory beach off the coast of Los Angeles, Roberts, lying on a beach chair, put down his champagne and said this leisurely.
”That's not what you used to dream about I remember it was as if I had Scarlett in my left hand and Megan Fox in my right hand, lying on Marissa Miller's lap eating peeled grapes Nick, wearing sunglasses, squinted at Roberts.
”That's just a phased goal. There will be many phased goals in one's life.” Roberts laughed.
”Now?”
”It was done last night.”
Not far away, a beautiful woman in a bikini is playing volleyball on the beach.
In the distance, the sound of the rusty waves is pushed by the white spray.
The sea breeze with coconut fragrance was blowing, and looking at the rough waves, Roberts could not help narrowing his eyes.
Somehow, he said.
”You know what? My friend, up to now, I still think that 11 tons of gold is the most successful investment in my life
”Isn't it the ticket?” Nick asked.
”No Roberts shook his head and chuckled triumphantly. ”Think about it carefully. When did my arms broker, who was first sunk in a sack by a Mexican drug cartel, and then chased around the world by” salesmen ”from the FBI and Lockheed Martin, just to make a little hard money, when did my fortune turn around?”
”It's like the moment you wash your hands.” Nick shrugged.
From that moment on, their lives were obviously much more colorful.
”No, no, no, man, you're wrong.” Roberts shook his head and said with a smile, ”there are too many people who wash their hands in the golden basin. For example, the Mexican who once took me into the business is now rubbing meatballs at the burrito shop on the street next to the avenue of stars. Every Saturday, I would take care of his business, even though the Mexican food is really terrible... ”
”So what you want to say is.”
”Experience on the card table. If you always lose money, you just need to find a lucky gambler and bet with him
“…… This is really a random experience. ” Nick said with a wry smile.
In Alaska, you'll lose by playing like this. You don't even have any pants left.
The leisurely time on the beach only lasts until evening, but the prone body lasts from dusk to late night.
From the private collection of the villa wine cellar, Roberts took out a bottle of vintage red wine, carrying two wine glasses, on the balcony.
Grinning, he sat down opposite Nick, dropped his glass on the table, removed the cork from the mouth of the red wine bottle, and filled it for both.
”Not with your new girlfriend.”
”New girlfriend?” Roberts laughs and shakes his head. ”You can't show that you are more anxious than she is to deal with these people. Nick, it's time for you to find a partner. It's not gossip that scares Hollywood, it's being forgotten. ”
”Already.”
”Yes?” Roberts looked at his old friend in surprise. ”When I mean, why didn't you tell me? ”
”I've told you a few times, but every time you seem to forget it.”
Roberts snickered, wiped his nose and leaned back on the chair.
”Let me see...”
”It's Ukrainian, in my hometown.”
”I remember, the last time you went back to sweep the grave Wait a minute. That was a few years ago? ”
”Six years ago, this year I was going to take her to Los Angeles, where she wanted to go to college.”
Roberts opened his mouth.
always felt that there were many places to make complaints about it. But because of too many slot points, he did not know where to start.
”Forget it, everyone's feelings are different,” Roberts finally ended the topic, shaking his head.
Two people chatted about some of the past, chatting, then chatting to the man.
Remembering the funeral he saw on TV yesterday, Nick asked after a moment of silence.
”Is he dead?”
”Do you think he's dead?” Roberts asked with a smile.
”I don't know But no one should survive that level of explosion. ” Nick said.
”That's what I think, but my friend, think about it from another angle. When we thought the bastard was dead, he miraculously survived.” Roberts poured himself another glass of red wine and grinned.
”But...”
