Chapter 17 - Big Fish (2/2)

”Blackjack! Looks like my prayers were heard. Haha.” Cale laughed lightly while looking at the female dealer who looked liked she had swallowed crap.

His one million had become three million, what an easy money! However without the skills from 'The Black Market, as high as his guts might be, Cale would never have dared bet all-in.

”Sirs, please place your bets.” Said the beautiful female dealer while forcing a sweet smile.

The game continued for several rounds in thirty minutes. In eighteen rounds, Cale lost eleven times and won seven times. But whenever he lost, his bet was just five thousand chips, and when he won, his bet was at least one million.

The big pile of chips in front of Cale made the older men gape in shock and the beautiful female dealer broke out in sweat.

”Looks like my luck is not too good this time. To think that I lost eleven times.” Cale had a look of sorrow on his handsome face which made the people around him want to beat him senseless. He won more than ten million and he still dares say that his luck was bad? Then how about their crappy luck?

”Let's go exchange the chips. That would be enough for today. Thanks for the wonderful time gentlemen.” Cale stood up from his seat elegantly and gave the people at the table a bright smile.

They exchanged the chips for cash before they went out of the casino.

”Sir, I thought we were fishing for big clients, why did we leave the casino?” Asked Santharus.

Cale glanced at him and smiled ”We already hooked the bigger fish. It is not too good to remain there, the people inside the casino might investigate us after winning more than ten million from them.”

”The bigger fish?” Santharus muttered to himself.

Cale just smiled and ignored him as he led them towards the terrace outside.

Moments after, a benign old man walked towards them. Four men dressed in black tuxedo followed behind him. Each one of them was at least six foot tall and their eyes were as sharp as swords.

”Four former elite soldiers, this old man's background must be quite complicated.” Cale thought as he studied the group moving towards them.

”Sir, those guys are not simple. Each one of them is least as strong as us if not stronger. As for that young man, I can't read his strength level.” Said the former military corps commander beside the benign old man doubtfully.

'This guy, I can't read his strength. This only happened once when I met our military instructor. Is his strength level the same as him? Impossible! He might be just an ordinary man.' Thought the former military commander after studying Cale several times.

The group was at least 20 meters away from them, but Cale was able to hear their whispers like they were just right beside him.

”Oh, isn't this the gentleman from the blackjack table? Hello sir, I am Cale, it is a pleasure to meet you.” Cale smiled brightly as he stretched out his right arm towards the old man.

The old man shook his hand and smiled kindly. The wrinkles on his face became even more visible after giving that smile. ”Good lad, this old man's name is Fujitora Sekoujo. I am a japanese, but I grew up overseas.”

Cale smiled inwardly 'The big fish took the hook.'
