Entering the gambling hall, Le Sifu, the initiator of this poker game, smiled and said to William, "Welcome, Mr. Devonshire. If I had known you were so interested in Texas Hold'em, I would have sent you an invitation.
Now you have to go through the National Bank to join this game. This is my mistake. I apologize to you. Next time there is such a game, I will definitely send you an invitation letter."
After William shook hands with Le Sive, he laughed in his heart when he heard Le Sive so confident. "Next time? You'd better get through this today first."
He was not interested in talking to this guy anymore, so he replied with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Le Sive. I hope we can meet again next time."
Le Siver knew that those who could come today were all wealthy people, and these rich people were generally well-informed, so he knew what William was talking about, but he was still very confident in his card skills.
He said confidently, "Of course, Mr. Devonshire, we will have another chance to continue our card-playing competition. I am very confident about this."
"Then I wish you good luck," William said to Le Sive
"Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. Excuse me, I still have to greet the new guests." Le Sive nodded to William and went to find Bond who had just come in.
Le Sive stretched out his hand to Bond in a sarcastic tone and said: "This must be Mr. Bitch who replaced Mr. Bruce. Welcome, Mr. Bitch or Mr. Bond."
But Bond didn't shake Le Sive's hand and said directly: "I don't think you have the intention of welcoming me, Mr. Sive."
Bond walked straight to the bar, glanced at William, nodded at Church who was standing by the bar, and gave a look that said we are in the same group.
William looked at the church gentleman who shouldn't have appeared. In the original movie, the man who came was a black friend named Phillis Wright.
Mr. Church walked over to William with a glass of wine and sat down and whispered, "Mr. Devonshire, I hope that next time you, Mr. W, come to our country, you will not bring AWP with you."
William pretended to be puzzled and asked: "What, sir, what are you talking about? Do we know each other?"
Church held the wine glass, with a sarcastic expression on his lips, and said: "William Devonshire, I know who you are and what you have done. I just hope that next time you take any action, you can please notify us, and don't interfere with our work."
After that, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with William, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Devonshire."
Damn it, William knew that this guy coming here on behalf of that Felix Rhett guy was up to no good. Sure enough, this guy came here for Le Siver, and also came to warn himself not to cause trouble in America.
"Well, what we protected that day was the common interests of your country and England. Don't thank me. I don't like to leave a name for good deeds.
And I also don't like it when some guys who got an advantage come to me on their own and not only don't thank me but also blame me.
I don't like people checking me out, Mr. Church, you may know too little about me. By the way, what is your wife's last name? Oh, I think it's Willis, right, Mr. Willis?"
The church looked at William in surprise. He didn't expect
William was able to blurt out his real name on their first meeting. Is this guy's source of information so powerful? Or has the British Military Intelligence Agency infiltrated them?
You have to know that he is a senior agent at the supervisor level, and his information is highly confidential.
"You're right. It seems we need to get to know each other better, Mr. William Devonshire. Perhaps we can find a place to sit down and have a cup of coffee and have a good chat."
William looked into the church's eyes with a smile and said, "If you want to talk to me, go find Gareth Mallory. If he agrees, then I have no problem."
He didn't believe that Gareth Mallory would hand him over to the Secret Service for interrogation. Even if he thought there was something wrong with William, Gareth Mallory would only interrogate him himself.
Of course the church knew who Gareth Mallory was, but he didn't think he could get England's authorization to interrogate a member of a family that had served England for hundreds of years and had just made great contributions to England.
At this time, the voice of the lobby manager came from the lobby.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. As you know, we are going to play No-Limit Texas Hold'em, 5 public cards and 2 hole cards. Mr. Mendel is the custodian of your bets on behalf of the Swiss Bank of Basel. We welcome Mr. Mendel, please," the casino manager of the hotel introduced to everyone today.
Mendel of the Swiss Basel Bank stepped forward and said, "As everyone knows, each of you has already deposited 10 million in our bank. You can wire another 10 million. The bet will be kept by this bank until I return.
The winner of the bet enters the password into this encryption machine. After the bet is over, the funds can be wired to any bank account in the world. Mr. Bond, you go first. We are sorted alphabetically by last name. Your last name is B Datou. You enter the password first, followed by Mr. Devonshire.
When it was William's turn, he thought for a moment and then typed in the initials of his previous life name, Chen Mo.
After everyone entered the password, everyone sat at the gambling table and the game began.
The game began, with William sitting at seat 1, Le Sive at seat 7, Church at seat 9, and Bond at seat 11. After everyone settled in, the casino manager and notary announced, "Today's No-Limit Texas Hold'em. We'll use a deck to determine the order of dealing."
After the dealer finished his hand, the notary said, "Mr. Gadola will be the banker. Mr. Kamilov will post the small blind for $5,000. Mr. Fukuda will post the big blind for $10,000."
After the two players have placed their big and small blinds, the notary says, "OK, the game officially begins. Have fun everyone."
After the dealer dealt two community cards to no one, Fukuda, who had placed the big blind, began to speak.
"Give up"
"Give up"
When "giving up cards", the first few players should not return their cards and can only give up their cards first and wait for others to speak.
When he got to Le Sive, he looked at his cards, thought for a few seconds, picked up two chips and bet 50,000.
Le Sive's next player folded his cards. Church looked at Bond with a smile, then curled his lips, looked at his own cards and folded them as well.
Bond stared at Le Sive without moving his eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He turned his head and looked at the public sign.
Bond smiled slightly. He felt a little relieved. He thought Le Sive was trying to steal the cards because the three people before Le Sive spoke first, so they could pass the cards, but their cards were definitely not good. The cards of the last two players were not good, but after Le Sive made the bet, they could not pass the cards and could only fold.
Bond now has a pair of three cards in his hand, and the public cards are 589. Bond calls with 50,000 chips.
Now it was William's turn to speak, "Raise, 100,000." He had 9 and 2 in his hand, so he could now make a pair of 9s, so of course he called.
After William raised, the others folded directly.
