In the car, Sophia turned on the stereo and listened to the metallic rock music. Her slender body swayed along with the music. She seemed to be an experienced music fan.
Xiao Zheng wound down the car window, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly. From time to time, he would glance at Sofia, who had a calm and composed expression. His expression was erratic.
"If you want to ask, then ask." Sophia turned off the music, and a relaxed smile appeared on her exquisite and elegant face.
"Do you want me to fall out with Itō?" Xiao Zheng blinked and asked casually.
This woman's reaction today was too unusual. It could be said to be strange.
Even if she wanted to use him to deal with Itō, there was no need to make it so obvious, right?
"I only hope that you can help me get rid of Itō. After all, he is currently the representative from Asia who poses the greatest threat to me. "Sophia did not hide her true thoughts.
"You overestimate me." Xiao Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and smiled bitterly. "I don't have the ability to do that."
"This is my plan. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. "Sophia smiled. "Don't you think that even if I failed to provoke you, you are not disappointed at all?"
"Then why did you do it?" Xiao Zheng was puzzled. "To have a good time?"
Sophia shook her head and said with an unfathomable expression, "I want to know who else is hiding in Asia other than Itō."
"Did you find out?" Xiao Zheng asked casually.
He was not a member of the Fox Hunting Organization and did not care much about the internal conflicts. He came to Tokyo purely to promote Phantom. Now that he had succeeded, he could return with glory.
"Yes." Sophia nodded and said with narrowed eyes. "From the looks of it, Itō is not the only representative from Asia."
"In that case, although Fox Hunting Asia is low-key, its strength is no less than North America and Europe?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise.
"I have always regarded Asia as the most powerful opponent." Sophia said matter-of-factly. "It's just that some fools think that Fox Hunting Asia is not competitive."
Xiao Zheng nodded. He then asked in a good mood, "Itō is already the most powerful person in Tokyo. Then where do you think the other representatives are located? "
Sophia explained patiently, "Actually, no matter if it's in North America, Europe, or Africa, there's only one person in charge. However, that might not be the case in Asia. On one hand, Itō's attitude was rather ambiguous. It seemed that he didn't want to fight me one-on-one. On the other hand, the list of Asian representatives had yet to be submitted. Perhaps it wasn't that Itō wanted to keep his identity a secret, but that the representative behind the scenes didn't want to reveal his identity. Even if the Fox Hunting Association itself keeps it strictly confidential for the representatives of each district. "
"Are you saying that the representative behind the scenes might be even more powerful than Itō?" Xiao Zheng was surprised.
"That might not be the case," Sofia shook her head and explained. "Maybe he just doesn't want to reveal his identity. He might not be stronger than Itō. Of course, to be able to ask Itō to keep his identity a secret, I'm afraid his strength is not any weaker than Itō. "
Xiao Zheng lit up a cigarette and said in amazement, "It sounds like the Asian district is the most developed district for the Fox Hunting Association."
Sofia smiled and said, "If you want to join the Asian district, I can be your recommendation."
"Not interested," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "You guys are obviously super rich, but for the sake of greater benefits, you guys cheat each other, fight, and kill each other. I really don't understand."
Sofia retorted, "In this world, how many people can truly be satisfied?"
Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned and was speechless.
That's right. In this world, who would be satisfied with the status quo?
Xiao Zheng originally wanted to go back to the hotel to pack his luggage, have dinner with the staff in the office, and then fly back to Mingzhu early the next day. However, Sofia invited him, "You've only been in Tokyo for a week. You don't have to rush back, right?"
"I'm not used to the food here." Xiao Zheng smiled. "And I don't have any friends or acquaintances. It's not comfortable to stay in the hotel every day. "
"I'm not your friend, right?" Sofia said with a hidden bitterness. "In your eyes, I'm just a woman who solves her physical needs?"
"You're saying it the other way around," Xiao Zheng said righteously. "It seems like you're treating me as a man who solves his physical needs."
"It doesn't matter." Sofia shrugged nonchalantly. She smiled. "Accompany me to the casino. I haven't been to the gambling table for a long time. "
"Gambling?" Xiao Zheng looked at Sofia in surprise. "You have this hobby?"
"I learned it from my father." Sofia smiled.
"Didn't your father always want to make you a noble woman? Why would he teach you to gamble? "Xiao Zheng asked in disbelief.
These were really two extreme ways of education. On one hand, he taught his daughter royal etiquette, and on the other hand, he taught her lowly things. Wasn't he afraid of teaching his daughter to be neither?
"Even a saint can't avoid the bad habits of human beings, right? Not to mention a noble. "Sofia smiled and went straight to the biggest casino in Japan. "Eighty percent of the royals I know have a hobby of gambling. Why can't I, a fake noble, do it? "
Japan didn't legalize gambling like Las Vegas or Macau. Although the highest officials of the government had been pushing for this bill in recent years, it had never received absolute support. But because of the signals revealed by the top officials, in Tokyo and many other major cities in Japan, casinos, hidden or open, popped up like mushrooms after the rain. It became the third largest gambling center in the world.
The casino that Sofia was going to was the most famous in Tokyo and had the most traffic. It was called Lisboa. It was said that there were not only business tycoons supporting it, but also political tycoons supporting it. It was safe and assured that no one would dare to come looking for trouble. So, when the gamblers were having fun, business was booming.
As soon as the two got out of the car, two young men in uniforms opened the door politely. They bowed and welcomed the two in. Sofia looked like an experienced gambler. When she entered the first floor of the casino, she summoned a clerk and exchanged a million USD worth of chips. Seeing that Sofia was so generous, the employee was very enthusiastic. Not only did he give her a bottle of Lafite, but he also provided an introducer to explain some of the rules of the casino to Sofia.
Sofia held a glass of red wine and gave half of the chips to Xiao Zheng. But the latter only took ten chips worth 100 USD. He smiled and said, "This is enough."
"Enough?" Sofia smiled meaningfully. "Are you an expert in this field?"
Xiao Zheng smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng did not say anything, Sofia did not ask further. She just waved away the introducer who wanted to explain to her and slowly walked to the blackjack table.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng also picked up an expensive Lafite and leisurely followed them.
Compared to slot machines or Russian roulette, blackjack was considered a more technical game.
