Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 465

Chapter 465: This is the Devil’s Game

Withers looked at Xu Cheng, his eyes looking like a pair from a lost soul. His lips trembled nonstop as he exclaimed in disbelief, “No, impossible! I don’t believe it, I’m an atheist materialist!”

If you want to seriously defeat someone, then break their faith first!

For this reason, Xu Cheng had to pretend to be a celestial being for this once.

“Then can you explain what I just did? You think I can bribe all the staff inside the casino and get them to work for me? Then how did I bribe everyone in the casino? Including the gamblers. How did I know what card was gonna be given to the gambler next? The dealer can’t even be certain which card is next, how did I know? How do you want to explain these things?”

Withers stared blankly at the glass table.

Xu Cheng faintly smiled. “In fact, you can’t solve this case, got it? Because this isn’t a crime to begin with, it’s just a low-key way for me to win money. I don’t want to be high-profiled, but that doesn’t mean I’m committing a crime. I just found some people to gamble for me, and you can search them yourself to see if they have any devices on them to help them cheat. There’s no regulation in the casino that says I can’t bring my phone. As long as phones are allowed and the signals are strong, I can let them place bets for me, and strictly speaking, this isn’t a crime. I can keep on doing this. But, do you think they will ban phones?”

No!

Everyone has the right to carry their phones around freely, after all, this is a legal business occasion.

Withers obviously knew about this too.

But, he had two things he didn’t want to face. First of all, how could someone be able to do such a supernatural thing?

Just how was Xu Cheng able to do it?

Secondly, when he was desperately trying to solve this case, he was shown the fact that there weren’t actual criminal activities going on, and it just put on a veil of mystery and made him feel so powerless.

“You are not committing a crime, but I will disclose to the public the kind of ability you possess!” Withers said, “I definitely won’t allow you to keep on existing in the M Nation!”

“I’m afraid that things won’t go as you wish.” Xu Cheng faintly smiled.

Then, he got up and left.

Withers obviously wasn’t willing to let him go. He took out the handcuffs and wanted to handcuff Xu Cheng first without an arrest warrant first, and then sort everything out and report it to his higher-up.

But, just when he was about to go after Xu Cheng, members of the mafia immediately ran out from all corners and blocked his way as they warned, “Don’t play with fire!”

Withers gritted his teeth. He couldn’t win the fight against these burly guys.

He took out his phone and called his partner, but when the call connected, an unfamiliar voice answered, “Sergeant Withers, your partner is under arrest, and now it’s best for you to surrender yourself.”

Withers was dumbfounded.

“What?”

“We are suing you in connection with the recent case of casino sniping and disrupting the health of the market.”

Withers’ pupils narrowed slightly. Actually, at the second the call connected, his location was already reported.

Indeed, within just a minute, a few police cars rushed over.

At this time, those mafia guys pretended to be on the same side as Withers and they immediately turned to the officers that were coming after them as they shouted, “Mr. Withers, you go first. We will cover you!”

Withers was dumbfounded.

As a result, the officers directly arrested the mafia members and Withers.

– FBI HQ –

The team leader looked at Withers and said, “What do you have to say for yourself?”

“What can I say? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous for you guys to arrest me?” Withers said angrily.

“Yesterday, you and your team were already notified to not touch this case anymore. But today, I caught your subordinate coming into the casino. The people at the casino said that someone who claimed to be with the FBI came to warn them but also went to gamble. Then, he won 8 times in a row! From 10 thousand, he turned it to 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1.28 million, 2.56 million! Every round, he was very swift and decisive with what to bet, and he also went all-in every time! This behavior was the same as the group that was plundering the casinos’ money earlier, and your subordinate was on a call for the whole time when he was gambling, and that number on call belongs to yours! That means the one that was giving him orders was in fact you! Come on, tell me, how did you know the outcomes for each round?!”

Withers: “I don’t know! Someone also told me!”

The team leader: “Who told you? Withers, I don’t care if you were told by someone else or not, what you did already made you an accomplice to the criminal group’s operation. You were committing a crime!”

Withers: “I didn’t!”

Then, he suddenly got closer and said in a low voice, “I had been following a guy, he’s the real mastermind behind this whole thing. Today, I was trying to see if I could follow his orders and actually get all the bets right, and I did! I don’t know how he really did it, it was really unfathomable to me! He didn’t need a phone, nor binoculars or whatever technology, yet he was able to know about everything that went on in that casino!”

The team leader: “You can keep on making stuff up. Do you think I’m stupid? Then, how are you going to explain why you were with the guys from the mafia at the time we arrested you? We investigated them, they are all people with records and were involved in the previous operations at the casino. Why were you with them today? Looks like the casino execs were right with their accusations of you. You really are the mole.”

Withers: “How could I be the mole?”

The team leader: “You used your identity as the FBI to make them cooperate with you to investigate, but in fact, you just got them to give you all the green light so you could win more money. Every day, money is being lost, yet you make no progress. You are really a thief in the disguise of a guard!”

Withers slammed the table and shouted angrily, “I’m not!”

The team leader: “Those mafia members already admitted that they know you, and their confessions on you were the same.”

Withers: “They clearly set me up!”

The team lead: “Alright, since you said you are only investigating the case, then why did your subordinate run away with that 2.56 million?”

Withers’s eyes stared wide open. “Impossible!”

The team lead lifted his eyebrow and said, “He did. After changing the 2.56 million into cash, he turned off his phone and ran. When we went to his home, his passport and ID were all gone.”

Withers fell back down into his chair.

“Impossible! Then how did you guys track down me from his phone? Since he ran, his phone wouldn’t have been left behind.”

The team lead: “Indeed we didn’t get his phone. But, the new team captain that was in charge of this case got a call from the casino, claiming that there would be action, and we arrived early and checked the surveillance, and your subordinate appeared later. Then, we eavesdropped on his phone, and we noticed that it was you that was calling him! During this whole time, you were telling him what to bet on, and every time you were right!”

Withers shouted furiously, “Then where did I find out about the answer?”

The team lead: “So you told your subordinate to use his identity as an FBI agent to make the execs at the casino swap out the dealers. In fact, the new ones that were swapped in were your guys!”

Withers suddenly laughed. It was an inexplicably sad and bitter laugh.

It was a trap!

In fact, his subordinate didn’t run, but he was dead!

His passport and ID card was found and destroyed by the mafia to create the illusion that he escaped.

“You guys will never solve this case, trust me!” Withers looked at the team lead with mockery and said, “This is the devil’s game!”
