Chapter 1394 Blood Moon (Thirty-three)
Oh oh oh!
Accompanied by short whistle sounds and thick black smoke spewing out of the tall chimney, the huge passenger ship slowly left the dock.
Countless passengers leaned on the deck railings and waved goodbye to the people who were seeing them off.
Many people shed tears.
At this moment, Ronan was sitting on the small balcony of the first-class cabin, tasting the bitter coffee while stroking the little Hei in his arms, his heart calm.
Soon, the Blue Star passenger ship left Rand City far behind and sailed into the vast ocean.
This huge ship, carrying more than 3,000 passengers, will travel thousands of kilometers north along the coastline, passing through several port cities, including the capital of the Kingdom of Invia, Ceres.
For Ronan, taking a boat ride is not a new experience.
But this huge ocean liner from the steam age still brought him a sense of freshness.
The Blue Star can be said to be the highest-tech experience in the Kingdom of Invia. This passenger ship is not only huge in tonnage, but also has an opera house, casino, restaurant, bar and other places inside, so that passengers will not feel lonely during the journey.
Ronan had no interest in musicals and didn't like hanging out in bars.
But he soon found his own fun on this cruise ship.
In the luxuriously decorated room, well-dressed gentlemen sat around a gaming table covered with purple velvet, holding Hessian cards in their hands and exchanging silent glances with each other.
Trying to use this method to spy on the opponent's background.
This was a gambling game with a total stake of more than five hundred gold pounds. Several participants had beads of sweat on their foreheads, revealing the level of pressure they were under.
Ronan glanced at his opponents on his left and right, then played five consecutive cards of the same suit.
There was a sudden groan in the room, and several opponents threw away the cards in their hands in pain and helplessness, choosing to admit defeat.
In this card game with seven participants, four were eliminated by Ronan's one hand of cards.
He only had two opponents left.
"Raise."
Ronan put his last chip on the line without hesitation: "I'm going to show my cards!"
Showing your cards means all in, where everyone must show all their cards to bet on the big or small prize - the winner takes all.
His two opponents looked at each other, both showing hesitation.
Because the game has been played to this point, if the two choose to retreat, they can surely make a small profit.
But if he loses the game against Ronan, not only will he have to give up all his profits, but he will also have to lose his original capital.
The risks are undoubtedly considerable.
One of them thought for a moment, then covered his cards and chose not to follow.
But another young noble said harshly: "I don't believe your luck will always be so good, let's bet!"
He chose to follow the lead and fight to the death with Ronan!
But the next moment, the young noble was dumbfounded.
Ronan revealed his trump card, which turned out to be a deck of trump cards.
The trump card is the biggest and unrivaled!
"Gan!"
The young nobleman was furious. He slammed the Hessen cards in his hand on the gambling table and cursed at Ronan: "You beast, you must have cheated!"
He was also very anxious after losing today. He had lost more than 700 gold pounds against Ronan so far.
In the previous deck of cards, the card he held in his hand was the Duke, which gave him a great chance of winning.
I never expected that Ronan's trump card turned out to be the ace!
Facing the young noble's curses and scolding, Ronan immediately frowned: "Baron Bradley, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What evidence do you have to prove that I cheated?"
"And as for your insult..."
He stood up and looked directly at the other man: "Let's duel!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ronan stretched out his hand and grabbed a white glove from a distance of several meters, then smashed it on the other person's face!
The room suddenly fell silent.
Baron Bradley should have been extremely furious, but the young nobleman's face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, but he remained silent.
The reason is simple, Ronan is actually a superhuman!
"Baron Bradley, please apologize to Mr. Ronan."
At this time, a middle-aged businessman quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Mr. Ronan, please forgive Baron Bradley for his impulsiveness and recklessness. We don't need to resort to a duel to solve the problem."
"Yeah yeah!"
The other gamblers present followed suit and tried to persuade them to stop.
They didn't expect Ronan to be a superhuman being. At the same time, they saw Baron Bradley's timidity and cowardice, so they tried to persuade him to reconcile because they didn't want to make things too serious.
Ronan looked at Baron Bradley and sneered without saying anything.
The young noble lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ronan. I apologize for my inappropriate words and am willing to compensate you for your loss of reputation."
He pulled a cash check from his pocket and pushed it in front of Ronan along with his chips.
If Ronan was an ordinary person, or even an ordinary minor noble, Baron Bradley would have nothing to fear.
Let him be scolded, let him be questioned, he has no need to be afraid.
But the telekinetic ability that Ronan had just demonstrated caused the young nobleman to instinctively feel awe and fear.
He mistook Ronan for a spellcaster.
And the spellcaster has plenty of ways to make a person die unclearly!
"I accept your apology."
Ronan took the other party's chips and apology and said calmly: "This will not happen again."
Although he had both the substance and the appearance, he didn't feel very happy in his heart.
Because after this, who would play cards with Ronan in the future?
He will never have the wonderful life of making a fortune again!
Although the extraordinary people do not have the ability to see through their opponents' cards, no ordinary person is willing to gamble with them.
In fact, Ronan also relied on cheating to win each game.
Forget it, let’s quit while we’re ahead!
He left the room angrily and returned to his cabin.
There are two casinos on the Blue Star. The upper deck is reserved for first-class and VIP passengers to play cards and gamble. Ronan joined the gambling on the third day after boarding the ship.
At the beginning, he patiently laid the nest with some wins and some losses, and only let go when he saw the time was right.
As a result, just a few days of happiness were interrupted by Baron Bradley.
To be honest, Ronan wants to kill someone.
Is it easy for him to earn some "living expenses"?
After returning to the cabin, Ronan took stock of what he had gained during this period.
In total, he won more than 3,700 gold pounds!
This is a huge income. As long as you don't squander it, you can live comfortably for a long time in any city, including the capital, Celis.
However, having seen the extravagance of the extraordinary people, Ronan did not think that this amount of gold pounds was that high.
We have to find a way to make more money!
Thinking about his trip to Ceres, in addition to studying at the Royal Police Academy, he also had to study alchemy. Ronan felt that he had to re-plan his plan to make money.
Woo~
While he was thinking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the cabin!
