Chapter 430: Sudden explosion, new card game, losing hand?

 Monte Carlo Casino.

 A card game in which the pot could accumulate to 152 million was not a common occurrence even in the Monte Carlo Casino in 2005.

 When the news of this card game spread to the first and second floors of the casino, everyone was aroused with great curiosity and wanted to know who had won such a big card game.

 Among them, the better informed ones learned that Winning was a subordinate of a woman with a delicate face and a good figure, but with scars on her shoulders. The ones who were more alert suddenly had various thoughts.

But to everyone's disappointment, Caroline and Luo An didn't go downstairs at all after winning the card game. After people exchanged the chips, the two asked for a temporary rest room and walked in.

 Caroline sat on the sofa, her eyes brightening as she looked at the more than 100 million euros in the newly opened bank account.

Luo An closed the curtains, stood in front of the window, gently opened the gap in the curtains, carefully observed the situation downstairs, and took out his mobile phone to call Mona:

“Mona, the original plan has been temporarily cancelled. I will notify you of the follow-up situation.”

 “What?”

In a car outside the casino, Mona was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She wanted to ask why, but she was used to trusting Luo An and suppressed her questions and nodded in agreement.

Roan smiled softly when he saw this. He knew that Mona had questions, so he briefly talked about the situation of Perna, Vincent, and the onlookers in the casino, and explained:

"When we were playing cards just now, almost two-thirds of the people in the room were going to Bonykov. We don't need to compete with them for the time being."

"…All right."

Mona was speechless when she heard this. Caroline, who knew Chinese on the sofa, also wanted to understand what Luo An meant by the mantis and cicada.

Caroline thought for a while. She still had a question. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a deafening explosion!

Boom—

The explosion resounded through the sky so suddenly that the entire casino building seemed to shake.

All the players in the casino were startled. Many people subconsciously got under the card table. When others reacted, they immediately screamed and ran wildly outside the casino.

The whole casino suddenly became extremely chaotic. Some people ran away, some called to inquire about the situation, and some took advantage of the chaos to steal the chips that no one wanted, especially the big ones.

Luo An, who was in front of the window, did not expect the explosion. Seeing the sky-high flames and the subsequent black and gray smoke rising from the direction of the parking lot outside the casino, Luo An quickly picked up the phone and asked:

 “Mona, are you okay?”

 “I’m fine.”

On the roadside not too far from the parking lot, Mona, who was also startled, looked at the burning cars in the parking lot dozens of meters away and frowned:

“Roan, if I’m not mistaken, the car that exploded belonged to Bonykov!”

In the room, Caroline, who was trembling with fright from the explosion just now, quickly came to Roan's side. When she heard Mona's voice on the phone, Caroline covered her mouth in surprise:

“Is this silencing or what? Who did it? MI6 or CIA?”

“The only person who dares to act so unscrupulously in other countries is the CIA.”

Mona on the other end of the phone thought for a while and suddenly frowned:

"But did Mrs. Hanover also come against Bonykov? She couldn't have done it, right?"

 “No, not them.”

After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An suddenly took Caroline's hand and walked out of the door, saying as he walked:

“I’m afraid it’s Burnykov’s own fault.

 No one in this group of people is simple, and they all have their own thoughts. "

Mona and Caroline were stunned when they heard this. The situation was urgent. Luo An did not give them a detailed explanation. He quickly told Mona on his mobile phone to resume the original plan. Then he lowered his head and whispered in Caroline's ear. After a few words, he and Caroline finally walked to the room on the other side of the third floor.

 At the door of a dark red room, Luo An knocked on the door, and a few seconds later, a strong white man in a black suit walked out.

Caroline stood behind with an expressionless face. Luo An looked at the strong man and said with a smile:

 “Miss Yevdoki (pseudonym of Caroline, Chapter 245) asked to meet with Mr. Bonykov.”

The strong white man glanced at Luo An and replied expressionlessly:

 “I’m sorry, Mr. Bonykov is not here, he has left.”

“Miss Yevdoki previously sent a secretary to contact Mr. Bonykov through letters, but he was rejected by Mr. Bonykov.”

Luo An chuckled and continued nonchalantly:

"We have a way to solve the problem faced by Mr. Burnekov, but only if Mr. Burnekov is willing to pay us another 150 million euros." Luo An's words are to explain to Burnekov that we have contacted you before. I want to cooperate with you, but you won't meet with us, so I came to the casino to win your money.

 The second is to reveal one's identity and show that they are not in the same group as certain people.

The strong white man's expression did not change when he heard this, and he still said that Bonykov was not here.

Caroline turned around and left without expression. Luo An smiled at the strong white man and quickly turned around to follow.

Walking quickly back to the room where the two of them were just now, Caroline asked in a low voice as she walked:

 “Are you sure this will work?”

 “Not sure. But if it doesn’t work, I have other ways.”

Luo An chuckled, and Caroline frowned slightly when she heard this, because until the two of them opened the door and walked into the room, the strong white man did not catch up to them and stop them.

 After closing the door to the room, Caroline turned to look at Luo An and spread her hands:

 “So, it’s a failure this time? What’s your next plan?”

 “No hurry, wait another 60 seconds.”

Luo An shook his head, then looked down at Caroline's slender thighs and asked with a smile:

 “Are all the things still there?”

 Caroline rolled her eyes at Luo An:

“Of course I am, but I feel a little uncomfortable.”

 “It’s the same for the first time, just get used to it.”

　　　…”

　　咚! Boom! Boom!

Caroline’s mouth moved slightly, and just when she was about to complain, there was a knock on the door next to the two of them.

Giving Caroline a look, Luo An walked over and opened the door. Outside was a beautiful woman in a silver dress. She smiled at Luo An and said:

 “My boss wants to meet you, please come with me.”

Luo An was not in a hurry to agree, but asked:

 “Is your boss ready for the 150 million euros that Miss Yevdoki wants?”

The woman in the silver dress stiffened slightly when she heard this, but quickly returned to normal and replied with a smile:

 “This depends on Miss Yevdoki’s ability.”

Luo An looked at the woman in the silver dress for a few seconds, then turned to look at Caroline, perfectly portraying the image that a subordinate should have.

 Caroline stood up and left the sofa, glanced at the woman in silver dress, and said softly:

 “Lead the way.”

The woman in the silver dress smiled slightly and quickly stretched out her hand to the left to guide Caroline and Luo An.

 Soon, the two were taken to a room on the fourth floor of the casino. The woman in silver dress pushed open the door and greeted Roan and Caroline not Bonykov, but several strong men in black.

The other party stretched out his hand to stop Luo An, indicating that he wanted to search Luo An for weapons.

 Luo An opened his arms indifferently and allowed the other party to search him. There was nothing on him, and the search ended quickly.

 But when the woman in the silver dress examined Caroline, she found a pocket pistol and a folding dagger on the inner side of Caroline's thigh.

Facing the distrustful eyes of the woman in silver dress, Caroline followed Luo An’s previous teachings and said softly:

“I’m a woman and I carry a pistol and a knife in my thigh, which makes sense.”

The woman in the silver dress was silent for a few seconds. She accepted the answer and continued to lead the two of them into the depths of the room.

 Pushing open a door, Roan and Caroline finally saw Bernekov.

Burnikov, who had light blue eyes, laughed when he saw the two of them, pointed to the card table in front of him, and said:

“Good evening, Miss Yevdoki. Mr. Brian, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon. The card game just now was not fun enough. How about we play another game?

But the bets are changed this time. We don’t bet money. Whoever loses will have one hand cut off. "

Hearing the word "cut off hand", Caroline's eyes moved slightly, recalling Jawali's severed hand.
