On the card table.
The atmosphere of the battle is gradually approaching its peak.
Tony Stark glanced at the cards in his hand, threw away one hundred thousand chips, and looked at Baker sitting across the card table: "Baker Morton!"
Baker followed with one hundred thousand expressionlessly, and then added another two hundred thousand and threw it on the card table: "Tony Stark."
The other four players in the game had already folded.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is no longer playing cards, this is resolving personal grudges. The consequences of not opening your eyes at this time are very serious.
Tony Stark, the owner who can buy your company and bank with just a word of disagreement.
Baker Morton graduated from New York University with the highest honors in the Department of Finance. As soon as he graduated, he shorted several companies with several beautiful operations and won the respect of other investors on Wall Street.
Although a few people don't know much about the grudge between these two people, if you don't know, just pretend to be dumb, and no one will treat you as a fool.
Richard had left the table and was drinking whiskey at the bar.
Ms. Molly Bloom is there too.
Banker Jeremy Stancalf was chatting with his fellow bankers outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Not long after.
The chips on the poker table are approaching two million.
Jasmine looked a little weird and said to Richard in a low voice: "Mr. Castle, do you know what is going on?"
Richard shrugged: "You know a little, it's okay."
Jasmine became even more curious when she heard this. Frankly speaking, when the card game was first organized, Jasmine heard that Tony Stark was going to participate and was not going to agree.
but……
At that time, she had just moved from Los Angeles to New York, and Tony Stark was undoubtedly an opportunity for her to make a splash.
But Jasmine also knows the importance.
Therefore, when a new guest introduced by Richard planned to enter the game today, Jasmine specifically asked Tony Stark for his opinion.
At that time, Tony Stark's tone sounded normal, and there was nothing weird about it.
This made Jasmine extremely curious.
curious.
It is poison for women.
soon.
The cards are opened on the card table.
There is no doubt that Baker once again managed to get the chips on the poker table just like in Las Vegas.
Tony Stark was expressionless.
Baker didn't make too many exaggerated expressions. Everyone was a person of identity. He just gathered his chips and looked at Tony: "Are you coming again?"
Tony didn't waste any words: "Come on!"
Baker said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
This night.
Baker used a reconnaissance guard that refreshed every month to win another 3.75 million from Tony Stark.
The game is over.
Tony didn't talk too much and just said: "Continue next Tuesday."
Baker's smile remained unchanged. He had sniped me so many times on Wall Street, so of course he had to continue: "Okay, see you there or see you."
Tony hugged the two cover girls and left.
Before leaving, Baker wrote a check for one hundred thousand dollars and placed it on the card table.
Nothing else.
When he arrived, Richard told him that there was something very interesting about this Jasmine card game.
Jasmine does not take a commission from the card games, she only earns tips. Moreover, in the past six months, her reputation has been very good among the wealthy people on Wall Street.
Because Jasmine knows the rules very well, and she doesn’t have a relationship with any customer.
There is a bottom line.
Baker commented that these days, women, especially beautiful women, hang out on Wall Street. How can I put it, if you have an average net worth, then there are fewer and fewer women who stick to the bottom line.
Out of the apartment.
Richard teased Baker on the way home, "What, you're attracted to him?"
Baker smiled and said, "You said it yourself, she never has feelings for clients."
Richard smiled and said: "On Wall Street, there is an organization that hosts card games every night. If it were another company, you would not be her client."
Baker laughed loudly: "It's more troublesome to change to another one. If that's the case, I'll change it. Guess whether Stark will follow me there? Didn't you see that Stark lost a hundred thousand check if he didn't win today? ?”
Richard said directly: "If it happens in the future, do you still want her to be the queen of cards?"
Baker shook his head: "So, just appreciate it. I still hope to wait for my rightful daughter."
"Then just wait slowly. When you find her, remember to treat me to a wedding banquet."
"I will."
Back home, Baker took a shower, put on his pajamas, and then walked to the terrace, sipping his glass of bourbon while watching the night.
Jingle Bell!
Baker took out the phone, looked at the call, and answered it.
It's Barbara's.
"Hero, where are you?"
"you guess!"
"The things in the Selivia church were not taken from you."
"What do you think."
"I think so, if it weren't for that, you wouldn't have gone directly to Seville, but I'm just curious."
"Tell me."
"You arrived in Seville on August 10th. You could obviously just grab your things and leave. Why did you have to wait until the 20th?"
"I wanted to, but you know, I was delayed by the Albanians."
Perfect explanation.
I'm so witty!
After Baker finished saying this, he couldn't help but give himself a silent thumbs up.
"Do you think I will believe it?"
"If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Where are you now?"
"Why, haven't you tracked my cell phone signal yet?"
"...I'm reminding you that we are the only one who can protect you now. You are already in trouble."
"Yeah?"
"The Assassin's League and the Templars already know that you have something in your hand. We also already know what you are holding. Let's make a deal and set a price."
"goodbye!"
Baker directly pressed down the phone, stood up, threw the phone into the microwave, beeped for five seconds, chopped it into eight pieces, threw it into the kitchen debris grinder and flushed it into the sewer.
quite a while.
Baker, who returned to the terrace, took out a new mobile phone. After sending the phone number to several important people in the industry, including Jane Fox, he placed the mobile phone on the glass table and continued to watch. night.
So what if you know?
He has never cared about whether his identity will be exposed, as long as the identity of Baker Morton is clean and a good and law-abiding person.
Baker had already been prepared for this matter. After all, it was not an ordinary apple, but a golden apple with the magical power to rule the world.
There are so many people trying to get his attention.
Such as now.
Baker felt the signal from the reconnaissance guard at Heiro's apartment and opened the guard map to look at it.
A pair of people quietly got out of a black van under the cover of night, then cracked the electronic lock on the apartment door in a few steps and headed towards Heiro's apartment on the fifth floor. approaching.
They took the stairs.
soon.
The corners of Baker's mouth curved up slightly.
The next second.
Boom!
Boom!
Just after the two soldiers at the front stepped on the invisible mushroom under their feet, two huge explosions accompanied by six-colored smoke instantly resounded in the sky.
Thirty seconds later.
The New York Police Department police car whined and whimpered as it approached.
