American comics: From the old Uncle Wolf, he becomes omniscient and omnipotent

Chapter 13 013: Reunion of old friends

People call him Uncle Wolf Logan Howlett, but in fact James Howlett was the original name. It was also an unbearable past. I am afraid that only a few people know this name.

The time was pulled back more than 100 years ago. In a manor, a boy accidentally killed the gardener. He used not a gun or a blade, but the bone claws released by his hands. The sharp bone claws pierced the gardener's abdomen. Everyone realized that the boy in front of them was a freak, a devil.

Just when the boy looked up to the sky and roared like a wolf, the boy who also witnessed all this took the boy away before the manor guards arrived, and the two of them fled in the woods together. That was when the boy said to the boy, "James, from now on We can only rely on ourselves."

Years later, boys and teenagers gradually grew up and joined the army to fight on the battlefield. It was as if the accidental killing in the night created the boy's bloodthirsty. Only endless killing can calm the mania in the heart and suppress the animality flowing in the blood. After many years of getting along, the boy and the boy have become close and know each other well. They have been inseparable for hundreds of years.
"Victor, you are still alive"

Logan Howlett approached the poster, staring at the portrait on it, his eyes red, "You are still alive."

How many years have passed, since that separation in the laboratory 30 or [-] years ago, they have not seen each other again. So many things have happened since then, and he thought that time was a farewell.

"Uncle Wolf, do you want to go to the casino?"

Luojo saw that Uncle Wolf actually recognized the man in the portrait.

Victor Creed, codenamed Saber-toothed Tiger, if there is anyone in this world who is Uncle Wolf’s last relative, there is no doubt that that person must be Victor, the saber-toothed tiger.

Even if they fell in love and killed each other for a certain period of time, they finally got back together. Sabre-toothed Tiger will always be the elder in Uncle Wolf's heart, playing the role of older brother.

Unexpectedly, the two would meet in Nevada after being separated for many years.

Luo Huo understood Uncle Wolf's mood at this moment, especially when people reach their twilight years, they always yearn for family affection, and no one wants to die alone.

"Well, we still have some time, let's go to this casino to check it out."

Logan Howlett nodded and looked at the address on the poster. It was not far away, so he had time to go there.

Even if he doesn't have time, he will go. If he misses this time, he may never be able to meet again. He is not sure how long his body can last.

The two quickly went to the casino on the poster. It was a medium-sized casino located in the Third Ring Road. Since the establishment of casinos in California, large and small casinos have appeared in the city. Even after so many years of legalization of gambling, there are still some. Many businessmen have come in to invest one after another, which has also created the current economic prosperity.

In Nevada, the popularity of the casino city of Las Vegas can be said to overshadow all other cities. When people mention this state, the first thing that comes to mind is the casino city, and it is difficult to even think of other cities.

After all, this is a business territory that even Godfather Corleone values ​​greatly.

After entering the casino, Rojo used the little cash he had to buy chips and gave some to Uncle Wolf.

He bought fewer chips because he knew that Uncle Lang's real purpose was not to play, but to meet old friends. However, the casino was very strict inside. Uncle Lang tried to inquire several times, but could not get it out of the dealer and guards. Victor's message.

Rojo was not surprised. The crime rate in Las Vegas is not as good as Santa Fe, but gangs are also prevalent, and it is impossible to meet the boss of every casino easily.

However, as long as you attract the attention of the casino, you will soon be able to meet the boss behind the scenes.

"Are you planning to take action directly?"

Logan Howlett looked around and found that there were at least twenty security personnel in the hall, each equipped with a gun, and they would suffer big losses if they took action.

"Uncle Wolf, this is a new era. We must be civilized people and not be so barbaric."

Rojo pointed to the Texas Hold'em poker table, "I want to win 700 million with twenty dollars."

"Madman, I'd better go to the second floor and take a look."

Logan Howlett was speechless.

"Wait."

Rojo didn't say much. He was bragging if he won 700 million at 100, but he had [-] US dollars, so he had no problem winning [-] million.

Texas Hold'em Poker originated in Texas and became popular more than 100 years ago. It was originally a time-killing entertainment and has gradually become one of the essential ways to play on today's gambling tables.

To play this thing, luck and mental quality are essential.

Rojo's mental quality has always been as stable as an old dog's. His many years on the run have allowed him to keep a clear mind in the face of life and death. And coincidentally, he was quite lucky tonight.

In addition, Rojo has some achievements in psychic abilities, and he can control every emotional fluctuation of the four people at the gambling table.

As long as he feels that someone is confident of winning, Rojo will fold directly. If he feels nervous and scared, or unsure, he will follow the bet. If someone is extremely nervous, he will place a small bet in the first round. Stud directly in the second or third round and let others fold directly.

He tried this trick countless times and never lost a round. Rojo soon made several people at the gambling table lose and became gloomy. After a few more rounds, some people were already bankrupt and out of the game. They even suspected that Rojo was cheating. The number of cards in their hands could be guessed every time, but several checks on Rojo found no problem.

As a result, Rojo's bet quickly increased from the original five thousand dollars to half a million dollars, and the dealer and security personnel next to him also had strange expressions.

Rojo naturally noticed their expressions, so after finishing the round, he decisively chose to leave the table, which directly angered the gambler who had lost a lot of money. He asked him to sit down quickly and vowed to win back all the money.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry. I'm a little tired. I'll continue when I have the chance."

Rojo chose to leave directly and asked the dealer to help carry the chips, planning to go to the front desk to exchange them.

"Lost it all?"

Logan Howlett came down from the second floor and felt a little distressed to see Rojo coming back so early. That was five thousand dollars!

He lost all his money so quickly!
"We won, but not 500 million, only 50."

Luo Huo took a plate of chips with a face value of [-] and put it into the hands of Uncle Lang, who looked astonished. "Uncle Wolf, fifty-fifty, I used your chips."

"It seems I'm crazy."

Logan Howlett was carrying a plate of chips with a face value of [-]. Each chip was more than he earned in a month!
"You two, our boss wants to see you."

At this time, three security guards in black suits strode over and surrounded Rojo and Logan.

"No time, we are just going to enjoy life."

Luo Huo touched the chips and was not surprised that someone from the casino came to him. If someone wins in the casino and has never lost, no matter what the reason, the person in charge of the casino will choose to see you.

"Don't worry, we don't have any ill intentions, the boss is just interested in your poker skills."

The security personnel made way to the elevator and said, "Let's go, put the chips here for safekeeping."

"Ah."

Logan Howlett put down the plate, nodded to Rojo, and the two followed the security personnel to take the elevator to the top floor and arrived at a luxurious office.

The two were arranged to sit on the sofa in the living room, and a plump servant poured coffee.

"Victor is your boss?"

Logan Howlett took the coffee, feeling uncomfortable all over. The luxurious facilities here made him seem out of place.

"Yes, he will come to see you later."

The plump servant poured the coffee, answered politely and left the office.

"You said he looks 17? God, if that's true, we might have met a genius. It reminds me of the story about MIT's attack on the casino."

There was a conversation outside the door, and the man's tone was bold, confident, and also revealing excitement. "There is also an old guy who came with him. He looks quite old, and he has been sneaking around the casino. I'm worried that he was sent by those guys to cause trouble."

Someone was talking to the man.

"old man?"

Click!

The ajar door of the office was pushed open, and a man wearing an expensive suit, a delicate beard, and a bold manner of conversation walked in.

After coming in, the first thing he saw was Rojo and Logan Howlett on the sofa. Finally, his eyes fell on Logan Howlett, an old guy who looked like he had a slightly silver beard.

"Victor, long time no see."

Logan Howlett stood up, took a deep breath, and raised a heartfelt smile on his lips.

"Logan? James?"

Victor was in disbelief and waved his subordinates away.

He strode to Logan, then opened his arms and hugged him, "Jimmy, it's really you! You're still alive!"

"Have you forgotten? I am immortal."

Logan Howlett reunited with his friend, his face showing the joy he hadn't seen in a long time.

"It's just... you're old. You look too old."

Victor Creed didn't know what to say. He glanced up and down at his old friend. He looked too haggard and old, making it difficult for people to associate him with the invincible Wolverine.

"Things and people have changed, but you don't seem to have changed at all."

Logan Howlett smiled helplessly. Compared to Victor, he was really down and out.

Victor looked the same as before. He was still young, still high-spirited, and still showed the energy of a saber-toothed tiger.

"This is your son?"

Victor Creed looked at Rojo and asked.

"Mr. Victor, I am Uncle Wolf's friend, Rojo Fernandez."

Rojo stretched out his hand politely.

"Even your names are so similar, I almost thought you were father and son."

Victor sat on the sofa opposite and said, "Logan, since the incident with the X-Men, they all said that all the X-Men were killed in that accident. I thought I would never see you again."

"That accident really dealt a big blow to the X-Men."

Logan Howlett sighed, changed the subject and asked, "Why are you here, opening a casino?"

Victor understood the meaning of his words, "It's a long story. After I separated from you, I have been wandering around, participating in Black Fist and other mercenary groups, and making a lot of money. A few years ago, I was tired of that kind of life. , coupled with the problems between mutants and humans, gave me the idea of ​​settling down, so I bought a casino in Las Vegas that was on the verge of bankruptcy."

"how did you do that?"

Logan asked.

What he wanted to ask was, how could those people allow a mutant to open a casino in Las Vegas, and also in such a densely populated area.

Victor obviously understood what he meant, "This."

"Boss, the deputy mayor's people are here."

At this time, his subordinate opened the door and walked in, whispering a reminder beside him.

Rojo said nothing and glanced at Uncle Wolf next to him. They all knew the reason why Victor was safe and sound.

"Ah."

After Victor let his subordinates go out, he looked at the two of them and said, "I have been very cautious these years. Some people are interested in my ability and I can bring them benefits, so everything is safe and sound."

"You sacrificed your life for them."

Logan was not surprised. He knew his brother very well. He had been working hard for others, but there was nothing wrong with that. This was life.
Victor chose this life, and Logan chose another life, but his life was worse.

"I have no choice. Unless they hide in the Antarctic continent, they can always find the saber-toothed tiger."

Victor was helpless and added: "But you can also choose to join, and Deputy Mayor Garson will become the real mayor next year."

As he said that, he looked at Rojo and said, "Besides, Rojo is quite talented in casinos. He can help a lot."

"Victor, have you ever thought about what they will do when they no longer need you?"

Logan Howlett did not answer, but asked instead.

Luo Home remained silent and just watched. This was a conversation between the two brothers, but he knew clearly in his heart why Uncle Wolf asked.

Because Uncle Wolf has experienced being abandoned, the X-Men were once a tool of the government, and Professor The policeman listed him as a wanted person.

For Uncle Wolf and the mutants, that would be a shameless betrayal.

"That will happen in the future. Besides, betrayal is too common for us, isn't it?"

Victor said: "Logan, you can choose to stay."

"Sorry, I have my own plan, and you should know that the government has been secretly wanting me."

Logan Howlett refused the invitation. He knew that he could not be exposed to the sun for a long time. Sooner or later, those hounds would smell the scent and come to the door, which would incriminate Victor.

Victor Creed did not force it anymore. Once his younger brother made a decision, he would not change it easily.

Due to time issues, Rojo and Uncle Wolf did not stay any longer. They declined Victor's invitation to have dinner, left their contact numbers, and then left the casino. Before leaving, Uncle Wolf still gave Victor a big hug. , with tears in his eyes when he turned around, maybe Uncle Wolf thought that this was the last time we met. In such an environment, unexpected accidents may happen at any time, and a farewell may be an eternal farewell.

After leaving the casino and walking towards the warehouse, a call came in from Rojo's mobile phone, which showed the caller "Guide Jeril".

"Jeril, please don't tell me that you lost money in the casino and asked us to redeem it."

"Rojo, although I lost money, I don't have time to joke now. Someone is making trouble in the warehouse! The target should be our truck!"

"Damn! I knew there was going to be trouble!"
