34. The Four Horsemen (Part 2)

Also in Las Vegas, on the other end of this famous casino, it is a small casino with a large scale but good passenger flow.
Rimi Leber was washing the playing cards in his hand.
This man with handsome appearance, brown hair and a sense of decadence. He can't see clearly that he always has a temperament that can attract young ladies.
He sat obliquely on the chair in a slightly swaying posture, and a stack of playing cards flew in his hands, as if they were given life, wandering between his fingers.
That extraordinary shuffle technique is like the flower-making that stage magicians can play.
But the few gamblers who could sit on this table were all old gamblers with vicious eyes. They could easily tell the difference between flower jobs and real skills.
In this world, betting on this thing is the source of all evil.
Ordinary people will end up dead and dead, but in the hands of some guys with special abilities, evil things can indeed be played into an art.
"I really don't understand..."
The shuffled man moved his shoulders, placed the shuffled cards on the table, gently touched his fingers, and the 54 cards were arranged in an absolutely precise manner, like a blooming flower.
He turned his head away, and the bunny girl standing behind him immediately obediently gave the man a silk card cigarette and lit it with a lighter with a skeleton-inserted sound quality.
In the smoke, the decadent man said to several other gamblers who came from afar in a hoarse voice:
"Why do you always have to line up to give me money? Is it like a nonsense that the money of you rich people is blowing from the strong wind?"
"That won't be."
A Mediterranean uncle with a gentle smile moved his hands and said with a smile:
"We just heard that there is a real 'master' in this place. For money, this thing is not for pleasure or to see the strange people and things in this world. Isn't that just a bunch of useless numbers?"
"Tsk tsk, the life of rich people is indeed boring."
The young man responded with amazement.
He flicked his fingers and quickly distributed the cards in his hand to four people on the table except him. At this moment, the gambling game began, and the originally noisy gamblers next to him also turned their attention here.
Even though the table was in the corner, it was unobtrusive.
Although the few people sitting on the table are not the kind of people with the protagonist's aura, those who often hang out here know that every Friday, at this fixed time, there will always be a card game there.
In the past five years, this tradition has never been cut off, and the qualification to join that gambling table is simple and crude... The minimum gambling fee is 1 million, and it will not be capped.
Not much sounds, especially for this crazy place in Las Vegas.
But the bets who have been gambled often increase their stakes after losing, so the final bet on the mysterious game of Friday will always become an astronomical number.
Of course, what is even more legendary about this urban legend is that, as the only owner of the old gambling table, Rimi Leber, who is called the "King of Cards", this mysterious, ageless man has been from the day the gambling game started to now...
Never lost once!
Logically speaking, after winning so many games, his net worth has long been astronomical, but as you can see, the man who has won for a full five years and has been in a down-and-out manner for nearly 300 cards.
The old windbreaker hanging on one side, the cane with fake crystal heads placed at hand, and the Sika cigarettes that have not been replaced for thousands of years all proved that his living standards were no higher than the homeless man on the street.
How did he spend so much money that is enough to easily crush an ordinary person?
This is a mystery.
Moreover, many thug guys who try to "ask" the whereabouts of gambling money in a less friendly way will always mysteriously disappear from this city after the encounter of blocking the Card King.
Over time, everyone knows that this guy is someone they can't afford to offend.
"Let's get started."
The Lord of Card King held a cigarette in his mouth and casually picked up the cards in his hand. In fact, this legendary gambling game itself is actually nothing to say, it is the most common way to play 5-player poker.
But gamblers who are immersed in this way know that the simplest thing is often the most difficult to master.
The onlookers held their breath and watched the cards fall. They actually didn't care about the process. They only cared about the scene when the mysterious card king won another victory.
After five years of winning streak, confidence in Rimi Leber has become a blind obedience. Even in the gambling game that mainly focuses on this bet every Thursday, there are a lot of people who will bet the King's victory.
Although the yield of gambling is so low.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the Bunny Girl standing behind Rimi Leber, who was also the one who was his bedmate in Las Vegas, had become chaotic due to tension in recent years.
Her expression seemed to expose the badness of the card King's hand, which made the other four people on the table look at each other subconsciously.
Ah, this is a "hunting".
4 to 1...
No matter how powerful the legendary card king is, he will definitely lose.
"Bang"
Just as the bet was at the last moment, the expressionless card king's ears suddenly moved, and the faint explosion from afar made his face slightly change.
He reached out and grabbed the cane at his hand, stood up, stuffed the two cards in his hand into the unknown bunny girl's hand, and when he picked up the coat, he patted her plump buttocks.
The King of Cards turned around and said to the other four people:
"She played the last two cards for me, and I'm a little anxious. Everyone, I'm sorry, I've played with you very happily. Although your card skills are so bad... I still hope that we will continue playing next time."
After saying that, Rimi quickly opened the window and jumped down from the second floor, as quick as a running cheetah.
This sudden accident caused an uproar in the casino.
But the bunny girl sitting on the chair shrugged. She showed the cards in her hand openly, and then grabbed the gambling bag placed on the table with difficulty.
No suspense anymore.
What the Card King left for her were two aces that would never be turned over in the current situation.
As the mysterious man said, in fact, at the beginning of this bet, he was already sure to win. For these four gamblers, gambling may be a hobby or a fanaticism.
But for the King of Cards, it is life, destiny, and every breath.
It is simply incomparable.
"Bang"
While the windbreaker was swaying, the card king holding the cane was running in the dark alley like a ghost. It took him just 2 minutes to get from where he was, and to where the spirit butterfly was attacked.
This fast Mercedes-Benz made his breathing slightly disordered. The moment he landed on the ground, he happened to see the scene where the samurai sword in Lingdie's hand was smashed by Tianqi's fingers.
The mercenary's mouth was bleeding, and he was beaten back by the finger, hitting the wall across the street, and knocking out a human-shaped depression.
The King of Cards had no hesitation at all.
While both being mutants, living in this city, and both serving the same organization, rescuing the spirit butterfly is no longer just about friendship.
Rimi Leb's first half of his life was a bad one. He was a very talented mutant and encountered troubles that only geniuses could encounter. The superpowers in his body grew too fast. When he was a teenager, he exceeded the limit that the card king could bear at that time.
He had a serious migraine and even had hemiplegia, which became a vegetative crisis.
In order to find his life, he left his hometown in New Orleans and prepared to go to the famous Xavier Mutant Academy, but when he arrived in New York, he met someone who could change his life.
Not Merlin.
But the Black Light Investor, Damon Hell Storm, who was busy pretending to be a big shot on Wall Street and using money to harvest souls.
The half-demon cured the Card King's disease and helped him perfectly control his superpowers.
Of course he was not so kind. At the cost, Rimi Leber became a senior business consultant at Black Light Investment Company. His most important job on weekdays was to stay in Las Vegas and make money for Dimon.
Therefore, every penny in a special account of the sons of Hell is clean, and the brand king won with technology.
This mysterious gambler alone supported the operation of a branch under Heiguang Investment Company. From this point of view, the King of Cards is indeed a genius in gambling.
He was betting on his life, and he couldn't help but worry.
"Crash"
The card king raised his finger and waved his left hand with black gloves, more than a dozen playing cards shining with purple light shot towards the apocalypse floating in the air like a flying knife.
The mutant tyrant didn't even look at this sneak attack.
When the cards filled with energy approached him 20 meters, they were all detonated in the air by invisible forces, but the purple arc did not drift away, but instead wrapped around the apocalypse like smoke bombs.
The explosion energy controlled by the card king is accompanied by the power of spiritual isolation, which is almost a supernatural version of the smoke seal, surrounding the entire street tightly.
This special ability made the purple smoke-wrapped Apocalypse smile very interested. He waved his hand and a strong wind that was comparable to the storm girl appeared, blowing the purple mist away.
But in front of him, there was no sign of the card king and the seriously injured spirit butterfly, and the unconscious Domino.
Apocalypse chuckled, and he looked at the empty dark alley on his left with admiring eyes, and he whispered:
"The world 200 years later is indeed full of surprises. I thought I would only gain one knight, but now I gain two... It's so lucky."
"Dou,Dou"
Just as Apocalypse became serious and was about to end this hide-and-seek cat and mouse game, the bracelet communicator on his wrist suddenly rang out, and Mr. Omen's voice emerged from it.
"Dignified Master of Apocalypse, I have obtained a locker in Utopia that stores all the current mutant gene fragments, but I have encountered a little problem..."
"There are troublesome opponents blocking me. I'm sorry I disappointed you, but I'm really not their opponent."
"them?"
Apocalypse blinked, and the mutant tyrant said calmly:
"Then procrastinate, it will take me a few minutes."
"Buzz"
The tyrant's figure disappeared from the spot. When it appeared again, it took a step out of the unbreakable space, as if it appeared from the mirror in the dark alley.
Apocalypse waved his arm and carried the card king who escaped with the spirit butterfly and Domino as if he was hit by an invisible warhammer.
The powerful mutant flipped in the air for several times before landing on the ground in a mess. He tried to stand up, but the next second, Apocalypse's left hand, which moved like a ghost, pressed on the forehead of the card king.
A phoenix fragment was injected into the body of the King of Cards in a crushed manner.
Another fragment was thrown by Apocalypse in the center of the Spirit Butterfly and Domino. The familiar white light lit up and wrapped the two ladies in it.
"I call you 'fate'!"
Apocalypse said to the white light, then turned his head and looked at the card king who was half kneeling in front of him, and he said:
"As for you, you just call it 'game'."
"There is the last knight, well, maybe I should find a more religious symbol. People always numb themselves with faith, and probably, they are willing to sacrifice themselves for faith."
——————————
On Utopia Island, Mr. Evil Zhao is hiding in the scientific research laboratory of this mutant base camp. He found the equipment to store all mutant gene samples, and there were indeed a bunch of tricky guys searching for him outside.
But with his ability, he can take the device away from the utopia without being discovered.
He has his own plan.
Calling the Apocalypse to come, let the difficult guys face the Apocalypse, and then taking the opportunity to do something else by himself... If he remembers correctly, the small cable he regarded as the ultimate hope should be still on Utopia Island.
The early awakening of Apocalypse is a big bad thing, but as long as you are prepared and have the opportunity, it will become a thing that is beneficial to you.
"Clang"
A loud noise rang out in the center of Utopia. Mr. Evil Omen heard the noisy shouts from outside the laboratory, and the heavy pressure that the apocalypse would bring to him when the apocalypse was there.
This made Mr. Ejaculation happy.
This cunning guy knew that the apocalypse had arrived, and that was great.
He looked around and reached out to put his hand on the huge genetic sample storage device behind him. Just like magic, the huge silver-white cabinet immediately disappeared into the air.
After all this, Mr. Evil Zhao reached out to tidy up his sexy collar with white lace edges. He pushed open the laboratory door, looked left and right, and then walked towards the area where Miss Madeleine and the small cable were.
His plan will not fail!
On the other side, in the center of Utopia Island, this beautiful home city of mutants has been destroyed by the Heavenly Enlightenment Energy Ball. The tyrant of this mutant held his arms and slung in the sky with expressionless face.
Under him, the Knight of Destiny, composed of folded spirit butterflies and Domino, was holding his crimson samurai sword. The cheeks looked like the butterflies' cheeks, but also had the signature scars on Domino's face, was cold and cruel murderous intent.
Beside her, the game knight stands.
The appearance of the former King of Cards is no different from before, but his eyes, which are as gentle as lovers, have turned dark red, and they are wearing black denim suits, windbreakers, and black denim hats.
He was playing with a pair of poker shining with purple light in his hand, his face was also cold as ice.
In front of this extremely evil trio, the magic weapon folded by Wolverine and Stranger, the iron power folded by Tony and Shazan, the atomic spotlight folded by Inhuman and Green Lantern.
There are also unaffected X-Men.
The strongman, the phantom cat, the ice man, the angel, and the people who can still fight in the entire Utopia came here, and the leader was Batman standing on the top of a ruin, closing his arms, and flying in the cloak.
When we needed it most, support from outside the world finally came back.
Chapter completed!
