At nightfall, the Rose was not peaceful, but more lively and chaotic than during the day. Many people took advantage of the night to do business. All kinds of things were brought on board this train, including weapons, stolen goods, drugs, and some unimaginable things, all being traded secretly on the train.
Therefore, Victor and his friends usually don't lie down to rest at night. Playing cards is also a way of alerting them.
This time, Victor's three-member team went to the Snow Country because they received a mission from the other party.
The person who issued the task was a wealthy man from the Snow Country. He said that his family heirloom painting was lost and stolen. The wealthy man had some clues and hoped that Victor and others could follow the clues he provided. Once the painting was found, he would give them a huge reward.
This mission was much safer than any Victor had done before, so the three of them agreed without hesitation. After all, as long as they agreed to the mission, 20% of the fee would be deposited into their accounts in the early stages. This money alone was enough to cover their expenses during this period.
Hawke, wearing a jacket, came over with two companions and stood around the people playing cards. "Count us in!"
When Victor's companions saw that it was these guys, they immediately waved them away and said, "Go play somewhere else. We have enough people here!"
Victor and Hawke are both leaders in their field. They have had many disputes over missions, so their attitudes towards each other are naturally not friendly.
Hawke smiled sinisterly, pulled out a thick stack of bills from his pocket and placed them on the table, "I have money here, don't you want to make some?"
When the people who were playing cards saw so much cash, their eyes lit up immediately. They squeezed together and made some space for Hawke and his friends to sit down.
Victor instinctively felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, not long after they started playing, his two companions started losing money one after another. They wanted to win the money from Hawk, but instead, the other party laundered all their cash.
"No more playing, no more playing, no more money to sleep!" Victor's companion was not stupid either. When he saw this situation, he understood that the other party was well prepared and he was most likely tricked. Unfortunately, he was so shortsighted that he didn't see how the other party made the move.
Hawke was not in a hurry. "If you don't have money, you can always mortgage something else. Don't you have a pretty little companion, huh?"
The two people following Hawke also laughed obscenely, "I heard it was quite interesting. He kicked Hawke hard, and now Hawke wants revenge!"
“So that’s it!” The card players suddenly understood what had happened and burst into laughter.
Victor's companion said regretfully, "No, Victor won't let us touch him. You saw it too. If you have the ability to challenge him, you can snatch him away from him!"
It is not impossible to snatch people from Victor, because no matter how powerful he is, he is only one person. However, it is not worth it to offend such a powerful and dangerous person for a pretty boy, or a plaything!
The people playing cards figured out the interests involved in this matter in a short period of time, and they all fell silent.
Hawke saw that these men were afraid of Victor and that his attempt to instigate them had failed, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Just as he was thinking of saying a few more words to add fuel to the fire, the train suddenly stopped.
The brakes were applied hard and fast, a real emergency brake. Many people were caught off guard and fell to the side. Even Chu Ying was awakened by the violent vibration.
