When they entered the gambling hall, Le Siever, as the initiator of the game, came up to William with a smile and said, "Welcome, Mr. Devonshire. If I knew you were so interested in poker, I would have sent you an invitation.
Now you have to go through the National Bank to join this game. This is my fault. I apologize. If there is another game like this, I will send you an invitation. "
William shook hands with Le Siever and heard his confidence. He laughed in his heart. "Next time? You'd better get through today first."
He was not interested in talking to this guy now. He smiled and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Le Siever. I hope there will be another time."
Le Siever knew that the people who came today were all rich people. These rich people were usually well-informed, so he knew what William was talking about. But he was still very confident in his game.
He said confidently, "Of course, Mr. Devonshire. We will definitely have another chance to learn from each other. I am very confident."
"Good luck," William said to Le Siever.
"Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. Excuse me. I have to greet the new guest." Le Siever nodded to William and went to find Bond, who had just come in.
Le Siever held out his hand to Bond in a strange way. "You must be Mr Piggy, who has replaced Mr Bruce. Welcome, Mr Piggy, or rather, Mr Bond," he said.
But Bond did not shake hands with Le Siever. He said directly, "I don't think you want to welcome me, Mr. Siever."
Bond went straight to the bar. He looked at William and nodded to Mr. Church, who was standing by the bar, with a look that said, "We are in the same group."
William looked at Mr. Church, who was not supposed to be here. In the original movie, it was a black friend named Felix Leiter.
Mr. Church took a glass of wine and sat down beside William. He whispered, "Mr. Devonshire, I hope the next time Mr. W comes to our country, he will not bring an AWP."
William pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What? What are you talking about, sir? Do we know each other? "
"William Devenhill, I know who you are and what you've done. I just hope that the next time you do something, please let us know. Also, don't get in the way of our work," Church said with a mocking smile.
After saying that, he raised his glass and made a toast to William. "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Devonshire."
Damn, William knew that this guy was here on behalf of Felix Reiter and nothing good would come out of it. As expected, this guy was here for Le Siever and was also here to warn William not to cause trouble in America.
"Well, I was protecting the common interests of your country and England that day. You don't have to thank me. I don't like to leave a name for doing good deeds.
Also, I don't like it when some fellows come knocking on my door, not thanking me, but blaming me.
I don't like it when people investigate me, Mr. Church. You may know too little about me. By the way, what's your wife's husband's surname again? Oh, I remember, it's Willis, right, Mr. Willis? "
Church looked at William in surprise. He did not expect William to be able to casually say his real surname on their first meeting. Was this guy's information gathering ability that good? Or had England's Military Intelligence infiltrated their ranks?
One had to know that he was a senior special agent at the level of a supervisor. His information was highly confidential.
"You're right. It seems that we need to get to know each other better, Mr. William Devonshire. Maybe we can find a place to sit down and have a cup of coffee and have a good chat."
William looked into Church's eyes with a grin and said, "If you want to talk to me, you can go to Gallice Mallory. If he agrees, then I'm fine with it."
He did not believe that Gallice Mallory would hand him over to the Special Task Force for interrogation. Even if he felt that there was something wrong with William, Gallice Mallory would only interrogate him himself.
Church certainly knew who Gallice Mallory was. He did not think that he would be authorized by England to interrogate a family member who had served England for hundreds of years, especially one who had just made a great contribution to England.
At this time, the voice of the hall manager came from the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. As you know, we're going to play Texas Hold 'em with no limit. Five public cards and two bottom cards. Mr. Mendel is representing the Bassel Bank in Switzerland to keep everyone's bets. We welcome Mr. Mendel, please." The hotel's casino manager introduced everyone.
Mendel from the Bassel Bank in Switzerland stepped forward and said, "As you all know, each of you has deposited ten million dollars in our bank. You can wire another ten million dollars. The bets will be kept by our bank until I return.
The winner of the game enters the password into this encryption machine. After the game is over, the money can be wired to any bank account in the world. Mr. Bond, you go first. We'll be sorting by last name alphabetically. Your last name is B Bighead. You enter the password first, then Mr. Devonshire. "
When it was William's turn, he thought for a moment and entered his last name, Chen Mo.
After everyone entered the password, everyone sat down at the table and the game began.
When the game began, William sat in the first position, Le Siever in the seventh position, Church in the ninth position, and Bond in the eleventh position. After everyone was seated, the casino manager and notary said, "Today's game is Texas Hold 'em with no limit. We'll decide the order of dealing."
After the dealer dealt the cards, the notary said, "Mr. Gadora will be the dealer. Mr. Kamilov will be the small blind, 5,000 dollars. Mr. Fukuda will be the big blind, 10,000 dollars."
After the two of them placed the big blind, the notary said, "Okay, the game officially begins. Everyone, have fun."
After the dealer dealt the two public cards to everyone, Fukuda, who had placed the big blind, began to speak.
"Raise."
"Raise."
"Raise." The first few players didn't have good cards, so they had to raise first and wait for the others to speak.
When it was Le Siever's turn, he looked at his bottom card. After thinking for a few seconds, he picked up two chips and placed 50,000 dollars.
Le Siever also folded. Church glanced at Bond with a smile, curled his lips and looked at his own cards before folding as well.
Bond stared at Le Siever without moving his eyes. Le Siever felt uncomfortable and turned his head to look at the public cards.
Bond smiled. He felt that Le Siever was trying to steal the chicken. Because the three players in front of Le Siever spoke first, they could give up their cards. But their cards were definitely not good. The other two players had bad cards, but after Le Siever placed his bet, they couldn't give up their cards and could only fold.
Bond's cards were a pair of three. The public cards were 589, and Bond had raised 50,000 dollars.
Now it was William's turn to speak. "Raise, 100,000." His cards were 9 and 2. He could now get a pair of 9, so of course he raised.
After William raised the stakes, the others folded their cards.
