Stark looked at Luke and crossed his legs leisurely. "You're very dedicated as a detective. You're willing to spend so much money on cases."
Luke smiled. "I love what I do. I can't be sloppy if I want to live a better life."
Propping his head on his hand, Stark thought for a moment, before he agreed. "That's right. You're smarter than a lot of adults. People without talent, if they don't work hard, they'll be fired even if they have to sweep the floor. "
Amused, Luke nodded in agreement. "You first, or should I?"
Stark raised his head slightly. "You first."
At that moment, all the gamblers at the table knew that it was going to be a game, and watched with great interest.
The power of the spectators was the same everywhere.
Luke didn't stand on ceremony. He grabbed the dice on the table and threw them out.
He used a little too much strength, and the three dice bounced on the table several times. They hit the edge of the table twice before finally stopping.
One, two, three, six.
"It seems that I'm not very lucky." Luke's expression was the same as ever. He had really thrown out the dice casually.
Tony Stark's expression was as casual as ever. He picked up the dice from Happy and threw them out.
Three, three, six, twelve.
Luke was behind 0: 1.
Luke didn't say anything. He simply picked up the dice from the table and threw them again.
This time, he threw them a little less forcefully, but the dice still rolled on the table before they stopped.
Four, five, six, fifteen.
Tony Stark raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. He simply caught the dice and threw them out.
One, three, six, ten.
The score was 1: 1.
Luke picked up the dice and threw them out again.
Three, three, four, ten.
This time, Tony threw three, four, five, twelve.
Tony was in the lead again.
At that moment, Luke's expression turned grave. He didn't throw the dice out immediately, but weighed them in his hand, as if he were praying.
In the end, he raised his hand and threw the dice.
The dice rolled. The first one stopped. Six.
The second one stopped. Six.
The third one stopped. Four.
Sixteen.
Luke seemed relieved, as if he were happy that he had thrown out a good number.
Tony pursed his lips. He found it funny when he saw the nervousness of the person in front of him, but he didn't want to show it.
When he got the dice in his hand, he threw them out.
The three dice rolled across the table, and the first one stopped — five.
The second one stopped next — six.
The surrounding audience held their breaths in anticipation.
This is interesting!
They actually needed the last die to decide the winner.
Luke's expression remained unchanged as he watched the die spin slower and slower. Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he clenched his fists.
Tony Stark sensed something and looked at him. He chuckled inwardly. He's still too young to be so nervous about half a million. Did he use up all the money from last time?
With a thought, the last die flipped over with great difficulty, changing from one to six.
Five, six, six, seven.
Tony Stark won with a score of 3: 1, and the game was over.
Luke heaved a long sigh. "Fine. It seems that I'm a little unlucky today."
Tony Stark's lips curled. "That's not what you said last time."
Luke nodded. "Life is full of ups and downs."
Tony Stark looked at him with great interest. "What if I say that I won't accept your bet?"
Luke thought for a moment. "Life is full of ups and downs. That's too exciting."
Tony Stark burst out laughing. "You're very funny. But it's not enough for me to give up on a small victory. You have a job anyway. You won't starve, right? "
Luke shrugged. "That's true. Alright, I won't waste any more of your time, Mr. Stark. "Saying that, he backed away from the table.
Tony Stark's gaze lingered on him for a brief moment before he looked away.
Ever since he was a kid, too many people had tried to attract his attention, and losing money to him was one of them.
He had long learned to ignore all kinds of strange people and things, or he would've lost half his hair in advance.
Luke was a stranger who had left some impression on him, but there were hundreds of such people in his memory.
That was why it had taken him a moment to recognize Luke.
Also, the first thing he recognized was the scene where Selina and Luke were together.
A police detective with a man and a woman. The woman was very handsome, and the man was very young. These characteristics reminded him of a memory that he had almost forgotten.
Now that he had won, Luke's frustration at not giving him a chance to even up the score last time was gone.
In Tony Stark's mind, Luke had become a regular passerby.
Luke didn't care what Tony thought of him.
He had already walked to one side. After accepting Happy's bank card, he began to talk to Stark's security guards.
Happy couldn't help but be more lenient toward someone who had lost all his credit cards.
He had already arranged for a team of security guards who had been involved in the attempted kidnapping to come over. He then gave Luke an address. "Two of the security guards were seriously injured and are in this hospital right now. As an agreement, you can visit them once. "
Luke thanked him with a smile and watched the head of security leave.
Forty minutes later, Luke and Selina left the hotel and drove to the hospital to check on the two injured security guards.
Selina finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you really lose half a million?"
She still didn't think that Luke was that generous.
She wasn't saying that Luke was stingy, but that he wasn't in the habit of gambling. He rarely participated in any gambling.
The only time he had ever gambled with a large sum of money was in Las Vegas, and the other party was … Tony Stark? That was too weird.
Luke nodded. "Of course. They checked my card, right?"
Selina opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
Dollar suddenly began to whine in the backseat.
Without turning around, Luke said, "Alright, there's no shortage of good food. We'll go to the supermarket after we get to the hospital."
As he spoke, he took out two lollipops. He peeled off the wrapper on one and tossed the other to Gold Nugget in the backseat.
Selina asked, "Where's mine?"
Luke said, "You're eating cake. It won't taste good if you eat candy."
Selina said, "I want it too. I can eat it later."
Luke smiled and gave her a lollipop.
An hour later, they left the hospital where the injured security guards were, and went home.
In the car, Selina thought about what the injured security guard had said and was a little confused. "Are the criminals stupid? They dared to kidnap Stark with just two people? And whether they succeeded or not, what would they do afterwards? Wait for death? "
Stark Industries was a major arms dealer, and was most familiar with the military.
