Chapter 38 Kaleidoscope

 Of course, Victor can turn bad luck into good fortune through fortune-telling.

However, the situation was urgent and Henry didn't understand what Victor had done. He just ran with him and was lucky enough to escape.

"Luck...just good luck..." Victor did not dare to expose himself in front of the surveillance bureau easily, so he decided to hide it temporarily until everything was clear.

"Okay! I've said everything I need to say. You can do whatever you want. I have to go preach to the citizens here." Father Sang stood up and pointed at Victor, "Remember, you're in for a treat!"

After saying that, he didn't give Victor a chance to speak. He turned around and walked towards the two gorgeous prostitutes beside the counter.

"Hi! Mr. Father, do you want to try Dandelion's specialties?" A prostitute kept ogling him.

"Ladies, I'm here to spread the grace of 'Glory' to you. I believe you can't wait!"

Watching the old man hugging him upstairs with a lewd smile on his face, Henry glanced at Victor strangely.

"Do you have money?"

"Of course not."

"Father Nathan..."

"He didn't give me a chance to explain!"

……

The two of them were speechless. At this moment, the butterfly spring door was pushed open, and another Detective Bureau agent came to the tavern. His standard uniform was very conspicuous.

The other party looked this way at a glance.

"Agent Henry, the chief inspector is calling his colleagues over at the dock. If you don't have a special mission, you have to rush over before the gambling game starts."

Gambling?

Henry stared at him in surprise. The other party obviously didn't come to see him, but just happened to meet him here.

"Yes, Mr. Thomas invited the chief inspector to his gambling boat. I have something to tell you. Where is Father Sang?"

This agent came to ask for Father Sang. Henry pointed to the upstairs: "He is up there, but... you'd better not disturb him now..."

……

Henry had no right to interfere with Father Sang's arrangements. He planned to go to the dock to meet the chief inspector first. Of course, Victor also decided to follow him in order to see Thomas.

Night had fallen, and when they came to the edge of the pier, Victor saw a middle-aged man in his forties, lying on the guardrail and smoking a cigar. There were several agents from the Intelligence Bureau standing beside him.

.

Henry tidied up his uniform, which was not very clean, and walked over solemnly, asking Victor to wait for him where he was.

That person may be the chief inspector of the Inspection Bureau, Henry's immediate boss.

Looking at the conversation between a few people over there, Victor looked at a brightly colored steam cruise ship docked at the port with great interest.

It was hung with lanterns, and there was singing and dancing in the cabin. Maybe it was Thomas's gambling boat.

When he was about to meet the other party, Victor hurriedly organized the words in his mind and thought about how to lobby with the other party to get back the Damon family's assets.

One after another, people were boarding the ship after passing the security inspection at the pier. There was a roar, and the two black straight exhaust holes were already in operation.

It seems that Thomas has invited many people to tonight's banquet.

"What are you looking at?" Henry quickly finished communicating with the chief inspector and came back.

"Which ship is Thomas on?" Victor pointed to the cruise ship.

Henry nodded: "Yes, that is the Kaleidoscope. It was converted from a steamship launched by Fulton ten years ago. It is now an asset in the name of Mr. Thomas Cornish. He will be on board with us tonight."

Meeting."

"Why does he want to see you?" Victor asked curiously.

"I don't know..." Henry answered simply.

"Didn't your boss tell you?"

"No, he just told me that because Mark died in the line of duty, he thought I could compete for the vacant investigator position."

Hearing this, Victor's eyes lit up: "That's great, can you be promoted?"

"I hope so..." Henry's eyes were a little complicated, but he didn't go into details.

"Mr. Thomas didn't invite you, but you can come on the boat with us. The chief inspector agreed." He patted Victor on the shoulder.

The latter frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

The Damon family had a contract with Thomas, but the other party actually ignored him so much after the Damon family was wiped out!

At this time, there was a noise on the dock, and Victor's immersed thoughts were disrupted. He looked up and saw that several people wearing chef's clothes had a conflict with the security of the gambling ship when they boarded the ship.

The leading chef was a fat man with a gentle smile on his face. Even if he had a conflict with security, he did not get angry at all. His clothes were slightly different from those of the other deputies. The collar of his white chef uniform was embedded with

Wearing a red ribbon.

That should be the chef of the gambling boat.

"The team of special chefs hired by Mr. Thomas from Fulton seems to have started preparing dinner."

A voice came from behind the two of them, it was the middle-aged man in his forties.

The other person had a cigar in his mouth, a mustache on his upper lip, and his expression looked very serious.

"You are Mr. Victor! Victor Damon." The man extended his hand to Victor, "I am Josh Renault, the general inspector in charge of this operation. I am deeply sorry for the accident that happened to the Damon family.



Victor shook hands with the other party naturally.

"Mr. Thomas is on the boat, I know you want to see him." Josh pointed out Victor's plan.

Victor smiled at the other party and thought the chief inspector was pretty good.

"Come with us!"

Later, a large group of policemen from the Inspection Bureau took Victor through the security of the gambling ship and boarded the luxurious gambling ship called Kaleidoscope.

……

Of course, the entertainment activities of this era are not as rich as those in Victor's previous life. In addition to wealthy men who like to dive into the breasts of all kinds of gorgeous prostitutes, gambling is also their spiritual carol.

Of course, even if you are poor, you still cannot escape this addictive trap.

Thomas Cornwall is the most powerful person in Missouri. To some extent, he has more power than the mayor of Dandelion. The latter is in that position because of companies such as Cornwall Energy Company.

The support of the chaebol is behind it.

The casino business opened by Cornwall Company can be said to be quite prosperous. The largest gambling hall is full of guys who want to get rich overnight. Playing cards and sieves are flying everywhere, and colorful chips are scattered on the ground from time to time.

Attracting other people to rob.

Minor conflicts occasionally occur, but the well-trained security guards in the casino will quickly extinguish the flames of fights at the initial stage.

Bullfighting, Texas Hold'em Poker, Texas Cowboys, Red and Black Wars, Stud...

Any game is very popular, but of course the Texas here is not the Texas in Victor's previous life, but Secred's "Demuch State".

After pushing a few people in the aisle, an older waiter came forward with a plate, wiped the hands of everyone in the Inspection Bureau, and said: "Chief Inspector Josh, Mr. Thomas is waiting in the office upstairs.

You."

After hearing this, Josh nodded and put out his cigar: "Others can move freely first, Henry, you come with me..."

After saying that, he put away the black gloves, wiped his wrists with the clean handkerchief sent by the waiter, and looked at Victor after putting them back.

"Mr. Victor, please wait for a moment. I will inform Mr. Thomas that you are here."

"No, Mr. Thomas already knows that Mr. Victor has arrived, and he asked you to go up with him." The waiter said to Victor politely.

Victor frowned and didn't say anything. He, Josh and Henry followed the waiter and walked up the central steps.

They went up the elevated iron stairs outside the cruise ship and arrived at the captain's office upstairs next to the bridge bridge. But now this room is provided to the owner of the cruise ship, Mr. Thomas Cornwall.

Victor was very unhappy when they first met this time, because he discovered that the cheap cousin named Pierce Dimon had already taken the lead in contacting Mr. Thomas, and was now standing next to the energy tycoon, looking at the door with malicious intent.

of Victor.

Moreover, Henry’s nemesis, Investigator Weeden, is also there!
