Chapter 11 Professional Gambler
Link moved, the original house was handed over to the development company, and he moved into a new apartment.
The two neighbors next door haven't moved in yet. It seems that they are not in a hurry. However, Link moved his luggage in and placed it all in a proper place. Only then did he realize that he had really few things.
Especially the wardrobe, which consisted of jeans, jackets, and T-shirts. The only two suits were SHIELD work clothes. When he was about to go shopping, Coulson came to his door.
After coming in, he took Link to the dressing room of the master bedroom. I don't know when a small secret weapons depot was built here.
"Lin, you can put something here. It uses three security measures: password, fingerprint, and iris." Colson said.
"It's really amazing. When did you do it?" Link was very curious.
"At night, there is no construction here at night, so we completed it in one night." Colson said with a smile: "If you have time, go to the branch to pick up some weapons. Safety is the most important thing. We secretly changed the door here. Yes, it’s bulletproof and explosion-proof.”
"Okay, I understand." Link prepared to use X-vision to observe his new home again.
After sending Colson away, he set up three insurances and put some cash here, so he didn't need to buy a safe himself.
The areas in the cloakroom were clearly divided. Link looked at them and prepared to make a big purchase.
Such as hand-customized high-end suits, leather shoes, brand-name shirts, ties, cufflinks with various diamonds, gems, and jewelry, as well as high-priced watches, etc.
After all, as a professional gambler, your outfit must not be embarrassing and must be consistent with your status as a card game participant.
At the same time, the wine cabinet at home should have a variety of famous wines. Of course, the quantity does not need to be too much. If necessary, a card game can be held at home, but it is basically impossible.
The other is to buy some cigars. Suppliers in this area can be found in SHIELD's database. SHIELD's database is very large.
But now he needs a car!
When Link was choosing a car, he didn’t focus on those super sports cars, but bought a black fifth-generation Mustang Shelby GT500.
He considered that he could not be poor and get rich and pursue super sports cars when he had money. Instead, he bought muscle cars based on his personal preferences.
Especially the manual transmission design made Link very happy. Instead of pursuing fancy paint, he chose pure black with the Cobra logo on it in silver.
Link trained his driving skills at S.H.I.E.L.D. for several days, and was praised by the instructor for his absolute ability to operate this car.
With the car in hand, Link started making large purchases, going to various international brand stores to buy what he needed, and custom-made handmade suits.
He was in perfect shape and the tailor raved about it.
After a large purchase, his cloakroom was half filled, and he felt pretty good. After all, he couldn't wear more clothes.
When there was news about the first card game, Link dressed up and drove there happily.
…
Soon, Link became somewhat famous in the upper-class circles of New York, and his card-playing skills were praised by many people.
However, the circle that Link can integrate into is not that big. Of course, this is for New York as a whole. This is an international metropolis and one of the three major financial centers. There are too many rich people here.
There is a circle of friends, a card game organized between friends, but this Link still can't enter. There is also a circle of peers. These people are all in the same industry. Usually, gatherings are more about talking about things in the industry.
There is also the relationship circle, which is for this benefit chain, and Link’s identity cannot enter.
What he can enter is the money circle and the technical circle. Some people organize poker games for money, and most of them are gamblers. The technical circle is looking for masters and pursuing victory.
These two circles are the most suitable for Link to inquire about information. Gamblers should not think about their character. They are addicted to gambling. Of course, these people themselves also have other abilities to make money, otherwise they would not be able to play big games.
The technical circle is a group of elites who have good restraint, but they pursue victory here because of their hobbies.
Link reported what he had gained in the recent period to Coulson. Coulson said, "Yes, you already have the ability to collect basic intelligence. You may expand the scope in the future."
"Like the big poker games in Las Vegas, haven't they been looking for trouble recently?"
"No!" Link shook his head. "According to my understanding, there are not many situations where they need to find me. Of course, if necessary, I can participate in some international competitions."
"It's not necessary yet, people participating in the competition generally don't have the information we need." Coulson said with certainty, he probably has already done the investigation, and then he joked: "You have made a lot of money recently! "
"Haha~ Why do you want me to treat you?" Link asked with a smile.
"No, but now you need to pay attention to the situation in Hell's Kitchen." Colson said: "Wilson Fisk, who you met in Las Vegas last time, formed a joint construction company with others to prepare for development Hell’s Kitchen.”
"He was born there, and his father was once a gang member, but then disappeared, suspected to have died in a gang vendetta."
"And Wilson Fisk left there when he grew up, and then developed a gang and started a regular business, mixing both black and white."
"However, now he has come back strongly and conquered all the gangs in Hell's Kitchen. This is very strange. He should not have this strength."
"We only know that he is cooperating with others, but the specific partners of the cooperation are not yet clear. We only know that a large part of the funds come from island countries."
"You'd better get some information on this!"
Link nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know his recent schedule?"
"I know something. He has been going to a gallery a lot recently. You can try there and see if you can meet him." Colson did not give a specific itinerary. This man is now the boss of Hell's Kitchen. His itinerary is not Fixed.
Wilson Fisk has become Kingpin at this time, right?
Last time in Las Vegas, he probably talked about cooperation with Hand Hehui. Later, with the help of Handhe Hui, he conquered all the gangs in Hell's Kitchen.
At the same time, using the name of the United Construction Company to acquire the property rights of Hell's Kitchen, the plan looks very big and requires a large-scale renovation of Hell's Kitchen.
The purpose of the Hand Conference is to bury the dragon bones underground. Link knows this, but he must have a source of information.
