Chapter 417 Christmas bells, casino, unexpected tracking

 Boston, Brookline area, a villa.

 On the second floor of the villa, Mona opened the Santa hat and found a wooden box inside.

 Open the box and there is a small box inside.

　　　…”

Mona was a little speechless and continued to open the small box. Inside...this time it was not a small box, but two air tickets to Las Vegas and a hotel suite order.

　Some time ago, when Mona and Luo An were watching a movie together in the cinema, they once said that they wanted to go to Las Vegas to see the local customs and customs.

It happened that Luo An didn’t know what Christmas gift to give Mona, and he also wanted to visit Las Vegas to test one of his conjectures, so he booked these two air tickets.

"ah-"

Mona also remembered this incident, and suddenly exclaimed with a smile on her face, and shouted towards the outside of the room:

 “Luo An! Thank you for your gift! I like it very much!”

Hearing Mona's shout, Luo An, who was sitting on the sofa on the first floor of the villa, chuckled, lowered his head and opened the Santa hat that Mona gave him.

There are a lot of things in this Christmas hat, including a long pink rope with a bell, a foldable antler headdress, and a pack of ***.

　　　…”

 Looking at these three items, Luo An's eyes suddenly flashed with light. He still didn't understand what Mona meant. He got up and left the sofa, picked up these three items, and went straight to the second floor of the villa with a cane.

 At this time, one of the classic Christmas tunes is playing in the villa: Jingle Bells.

The jingling of horse bells makes people happy. We are so happy skiing tonight, singing skiing songs...

Las Vegas, also known as the gambling city and the entertainment capital of the world, is the largest city in the federal state of Nevada and one of the four major gambling cities in the world. It is a world-renowned resort city for tourism, shopping and vacation centered on the gambling industry. It has It is known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World" and the "Wedding Capital".

 Among the tourists who come to Las Vegas every year, the majority come to shop and enjoy delicious food, while only a minority come specifically to gamble.

Luo An and Mona were no exception. The two of them flew here on the second week after Christmas. After a short rest in the hotel for a night, they went straight to the Las Vegas Strip and walked straight along this avenue. Go shopping, play, eat and drink from place to place.

But when you came to Las Vegas, how could you not go to the casino? Plus Luo An wanted to test some of his ideas, so he suggested to Mona that they go to the casino for a while.

 “No.”

Mona rejected Luo An’s proposal with a serious face and said in a serious voice:

"Luo An, I know you have made a lot of money during this period, but that money is nothing at the gambling table. Gambling can be addictive, but gamblers will not end well."

 “Thank you, Mona, I know.”

Seeing the worry written in Mona's eyes, Luo An, who knew that she cared about him, stood up and kissed Mona for a moment, and then said seriously:

 “Trust in my control, Mona, I will never get the upper hand.”

Mona shook her head after hearing this, and just as she was about to continue speaking, Luo An came up with an idea:

“Well, I’ll only take a little money this time, and if we lose it all, we’ll leave the casino and never go back again, okay?”

ˆ “…OK.”

Mona frowned and pondered for a few seconds, nodded, and then said:

 “That’s $1,000.”

　　　…”

Luo An was speechless and suggested:

 “One hundred thousand dollars.”

 “No!”

Mona loudly refused:

 “10,000 US dollars, no more!”

Seeing Mona staring at him fiercely, Luo An sighed and nodded in agreement:

“Okay, just $10,000.”

Caesar Palace in Las Vegas, one of the well-known hotels and casinos.

 Luo An exchanged 10,000 US dollars for a pile of chips ranging from 1 US dollars to 500 US dollars, and walked into the depths of the casino with Mona, found a table where they were playing Texas Hold'em poker, and sat down.

Picking up a $1 chip and looking at it, Luo An felt as if he had been embarrassed by his seniors who went to the casino and easily took out millions. Mona casually asked a waiter to exchange chips for a glass of wine, then stood behind Luo An and watched without saying anything.

There are five players on this gambling table including Luo An, two men and women dressed as tourists, a white uncle who looks to be in his forties with a sad face, and a white young man who looks from left to right with a strange look on his face.

The chips of the four of them were between 5,000 and 10,000 US dollars. After playing a few simple games, Luo An didn't notice anyone pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. After thinking about it, it was normal. After all, the ante at this table was too low. How could anyone with his skills come to play at this kind of card table.

 Because he didn’t particularly understand the rules of Texas hold’em poker at the beginning, Luo An lost more than 6,000 US dollars in just a few games.

 Mona’s expression behind him remained unchanged. She knew this would be the result and had already begun to think about where to eat after the gambling.

At this time, a wave of people had changed at the card table. The two tourists and the uncle each won a little money and left the card table immediately.

The white young man with a novel face lost worse than Luo An. He originally had 10,000 US dollars in chips, but now only has 2,000 dollars left. His whole face is no longer full of novelty. Now he is breathing very quickly, his eyes are red, and he keeps urging Luo An. Ann and the other three newcomers opened the cards.

Luo An put his chin in his hand and did not open the cards immediately. Instead, he turned back and patted Mona:

 “Give me a sip of wine.”

 “Hmm? Oh, here you go.”

Mona was stunned for a moment, and then handed the wine glass to Luo An. Luo An took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He changed his position and started to turn over his cards, which were two jacks of clubs, one jack of hearts, one king of hearts and a king of spades

This card is called "Full House" in Texas Hold'em. It is not the biggest card, but it is bigger than all the cards of other people on the gambling table, so Luo An successfully won back three thousand US dollars in this wave.

 “Fu-k!”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　∣

The white young man's cards happened to be slightly lower than Luo An's. This time he completely lost the remaining two thousand US dollars. After slamming the table, he glared at Luo An and turned around to leave the table.

Several other people who had lost their cards also glanced at Luo An and turned around to leave. Luo An smiled nonchalantly. He had roughly confirmed his guess, so he threw a fifty-dollar chip to the dealer. He also got up and left the card table.

Mona followed closely, looking at the more than 6,000 US dollars in chips in Luo An's hand, she smiled and asked:

 “Is it over? Let’s go eat!”

 “No, wait for me a little longer.”

 Luo An smiled and shook his head, and before Mona could get angry, he asked:

“By the way, which restaurant do you want to go to? How much does it cost?”

Mona was stunned for a moment and replied:

“Well...it’s the seafood barbecue buffet next to it. Five hundred dollars is enough for the two of us.”

 “OK, let’s go when we win $10,500.”

Luo An smiled and nodded, pulling Mona to another card table not far away.

 “What?”

Before Mona could come to her senses, Luo An had already sat at another Texas Hold'em poker table. Mona was very angry when she realized it. But seeing that Luo An had already started a new round of poker, she suppressed her anger. Prepare to discuss this matter with Luo An after he loses everything.

But what Mona didn’t expect was that after several rounds of poker, Luo An lost first and then won, and actually got back his original capital of 10,000 US dollars, and won more than 2,000 US dollars more.

 Leaving the card table and walking out, Luo An threw the chips to Mona and said with a smile:

“We’re not going to eat at the buffet tonight, we’re going to eat something more expensive!”

Mona, who took the chips, looked shocked and asked in a low voice:

"how did you do that?"

Luo An smiled and pointed at his brain without saying anything.

　　It’s not that Luo An can see through other people’s cards, but because he has been exercising and using the “emotional perception” in his mind for a long time, he discovered a new function after the last case.

Mona thought that Luo An pointed at his head to praise his good memory. Just as he was about to speak, Luo An suddenly pulled Mona and quickly walked into a slot machine next to him, and whispered:

 “Someone is following us.”

Mona’s face changed slightly:

 “A gambler who just lost money? Or someone from the casino?”

Luo An frowned slightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and said:

"It's not the people you mentioned. The other person is a woman, and...I don't know if I saw it wrong, but her face looks a bit like yours."

Mona: “?!”

   Sorry, I have temporarily modified the driving content...The review is getting stricter...
