Views:

Stark looked at Luke and crossed his legs leisurely. "You are a very dedicated detective. You are willing to spend so much money to investigate the case."

Luke smiled and said, "If you love what you do, you can't be careless about everything if you want to live a better life."

Stark supported his head with his hands, thought for a moment, and agreed: "Yes, you are smarter than many adults. People without talent will be fired even if they do a job of sweeping the floor if they don't work hard."

Luke smiled and nodded in agreement: "You go first, or should I go first?"

Stark raised his head slightly: "You first."

At this moment, all the gamblers at the table knew that what was about to happen was a bet, and they watched silently with great interest.

The power of the spectators is the same everywhere.

Luke didn't hesitate to grab the dice on the table and threw it out.

He used a little too much force, and the three dice bounced on the table several times in a row, and hit the edge of the table twice before finally stopping.

One, two, three, six o'clock.

"It seems that my luck is not very good." Luke looked calm. This was really the number he threw out casually.

Tony Stark's expression was still nonchalant. He took the dice handed to him by Happy, stood up and threw it casually.

Three three six, twelve o'clock.

Luke was trailing 0:1.

Luke didn't say anything, he just picked up the dice from the table and threw it again.

This time, he threw with slightly less force, but the dice still jumped and rolled on the table for several times before quietly stopping.

Four, five, six, fifteen.

Tony Stark raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He took the dice and threw it out.

One thirty six, ten o'clock.

The two sides tied 1:1.

Luke picked up the dice and threw it again.

Three three four, ten o'clock.

This time Tony threw three, four, five, twelve.

Tony leads again 2:1.

At this time, Luke's face became heavy. After getting the dice, he did not throw it away immediately. Instead, he weighed it twice in his hand, as if he was praying.

Finally, he raised his hand and threw the dice.

The dice rolled, and the first one stopped, a six.

The second one stopped at six o'clock.

The third one stopped at four o'clock.

Sixteen o'clock.

Luke seemed relieved, as if he was happy that he had thrown a good point.

Tony curled his lips and looked at the nervousness of the person opposite him. He felt a little amused, but he was too disdainful to show it.

When he got the dice in his hand, he threw them away casually.

Three dice rolled on the table, and the first one stopped at five.

The second one then stopped six.

The spectators waited with bated breath.

This is interesting!

It takes the last dice to decide the winner.

Luke's expression remained unchanged as he watched the dice spinning slower and slower. Suddenly beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his hands clenched slightly.

Tony Stark on the opposite side glanced at him as if he realized something, and laughed in his heart: You are still too young. You are so nervous about half a million. Could it be that he has spent all the money from last time

As the thought moved, the last dice turned over halfway with difficulty, changing from one to six.

Five, six, seventeen.

Tony Stark won the game 3:1, ahead of schedule, and declared the end of the game.

Luke let out a long breath: "Well, it seems that my luck is a little bit bad today."

Tony Stark raised the corner of his mouth: "That's not what you said last time."

Luke nodded: "Life has its ups and downs."

Tony Stark looked at him with interest: "What if I say I don't want to take your bet?"

Luke thought about it and said, “Life is full of ups and downs. It’s really exciting.”

Tony Stark laughed hard, "You're funny. But, not enough to make me give up the small gain of victory. Anyway, you have a job, so you won't starve to death, right?"

Luke shrugged, "That's true. Well, I won't waste any more of Mr. Stark's time." With that, he stepped back from the table.

Tony Stark's gaze only lingered on him for a moment before he looked away.

From childhood to adulthood, there are many people who have tried their best to attract his attention, and losing money to him is one of them.

He had long learned to ignore all kinds of strange people and things, otherwise he would have lost most of his hair prematurely.

Luke was a stranger who had left some impression on him, but in his memory, there were at least eight hundred such people.

This was also the reason why he took a moment to recognize Luke.

Moreover, the first image he recognized was the one of Selina and Luke together.

The detectives were a pair of men and women, the woman was very heroic and the man was very young. These characteristics made a certain memory fragment that he almost forgot appear.

He won this time, and the frustration that Luke had betrayed him last time and didn't give him a chance to equalize also dissipated.

In Tony Stark's mind at this moment, Luke has become an ordinary passerby.

Luke didn't care how Tony felt about him.

He had walked to the side, and after taking the bank card handed over by Happy, he began to ask Stark's security.

Happy couldn't help but be more tolerant towards the man who had lost all his credit card money.

He had arranged for a group of security guards who were involved in the kidnapping attempt to come over, and gave Luke an address: "Two security guards were seriously injured and are now in this hospital. As an agreement, you can go visit and question them once."

Luke thanked him with a smile and watched the security chief leave.

More than forty minutes later, Luke and his companion walked out of the hotel and drove to the hospital to see the two injured security guards.

Selina couldn't help it at this time: "Did you really lose half a million?"

She always felt that someone was not such a generous person.

She wasn't saying that Luke was stingy, but he didn't have the habit of spending a lot of money on gambling, and he basically didn't participate in any gambling.

The only time he ever gambled a large sum of money was in Las Vegas, and the person he bet on was... Tony Stark? That's weird.

Luke nodded: "Of course, they have verified the card."

Selina opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Meidao in the back seat suddenly started to cry.

Luke didn't even look back, and said, "Okay, there will be no shortage of delicious food. After we get to the hospital, we'll go to the supermarket to buy some food."

As he spoke, he casually took out two lollipops, peeled off the candy wrapper of one and ate it himself, and threw the other one back to Gold Nugget.

Selina: "What about mine?"

Luke: "You are eating the cake. It won't taste good if you eat the sugar."

Selina: "Then I want some too. I'll save it for later."

Luke smiled and stuffed a lollipop into his hand.

An hour later, the two men came out of the hospital where the injured security guard was and got in the car to go home.

Selina was in the car, thinking about what the injured security guard had just said, and she was a little confused: "Is this gangster stupid? Two people dare to kidnap Stark? And no matter whether they succeed or not, what will they do afterwards? Wait for death?"

The Stark Group is a major arms dealer and is most familiar with people in the military.
