After seeing the Poker King raising his eyebrows at her, the female dealer ignored him and instead asked Richard and another gambler whether they wanted to continue the game.
It was obvious that the female dealer was not the kind of girl who would be easily fooled by the greasy smile of the card king.
Richard nodded, signaling the game to continue.
Another gambler did the same and chose to continue the game.
After discovering that Richard and the female dealer didn't give him much face, the King of Cards threw out his chips and joined the game.
Just like the previous game, Richard did not use his super powers.
Although he didn't know whether the King of Cards used his superpowers, he had no intention of using his superpowers to cheat in such an insignificant game of cards.
Time passes little by little.
Less than twenty minutes had passed.
Another gambler lost all his chips, leaving only Richard and the King of Cards betting against each other.
When only himself and Richard were left at the table, the King of Cards suddenly asked Richard, "You also received an invitation?"
invite?
Could it be an invitation from the Hellfire Club?
After hearing the invitation mentioned by the King of Cards, Richard's first reaction was the invitation from the Hellfire Club.
He would immediately suspect the Hellfire Club, partly because the task just released by the system mentioned the Hellfire Club.
On the other hand, he remembered that the Hellfire Club in the movie had a secret base in Las Vegas.
If the King of Cards didn't have the ability to isolate his mind, he would definitely use telepathy on the King of Cards.
But unfortunately, the King of Cards happens to have telepathy.
Although he couldn't confirm what the invitation was, he didn't show any surprise or curiosity, and replied calmly:
"I don't think I need to tell you."
After hearing Richard's answer, the King of Cards' tone became displeased.
"Boy, I haven't offended you, right? Don't be so arrogant at such a young age!"
"Are you still called a young man if you are not angry?"
Richard glanced at the King of Cards and threw the cards in front of him to the female dealer, indicating that he would not follow this time.
The Card King suppressed his dissatisfaction and continued, "If you are really that brave, why not take off your hat and sunglasses?"
On the surface, it seems that the King of Cards is using provocation.
But Richard knew that the King of Cards was not trying to provoke him, but recognized him.
Although the King of Cards cannot have telepathy and can only isolate himself from the world, this does not mean that the King of Cards cannot recognize him.
"You're not qualified enough to ask me to take off my hat and sunglasses."
Richard said to the King of Cards.
"Let's not talk about whether I'm qualified or not. I just know that if I tell you a name, I can get you in big trouble."
The King of Cards replied quickly.
"If you want to say it, just say it."
"By the way, I also know one thing, that is, after you finish speaking, the person who will be in big trouble will definitely not be me, but you."
"If you don't believe it, you can try it?"
Richard picked up a chip in front of him and threw it into the center of the table.
If his strength allowed, the King of Cards really wanted to teach Richard a lesson and let him know what it meant to respect the elderly and love the young.
But unfortunately, he doesn't have such strength.
He was quite confident in his own abilities, but he was not arrogant enough to think he could handle Richard.
Before coming to the casino, he saw reports of the fight between Richard and Hulk and videos uploaded by onlookers on the Internet.
Although he was not at the scene, after seeing those videos, especially after seeing Richard summon a meteorite to hit Hulk, he knew that he would never be Richard's opponent.
In his opinion, Richard could easily destroy an entire city just by summoning meteorites.
He didn't think of himself as weak, but he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could beat Richard.
Looking at the stubborn Richard, the Card King picked up a round chip and let it roll between the fingers of his right hand.
After a few seconds of silence, he said:
"It seems that today is not a good day for a big bet. Just take your time."
After saying that, the Card King picked up the chips in front of him, stood up and left the gambling table.
Richard didn't care whether the King of Cards was going to go to another gambling table or just leave the casino.
When the King of Cards left, he sat in a chair and waited for a few minutes.
After finding out that no one was willing to come and gamble with him, he sighed helplessly, picked up the chips and went to the exchange window to exchange the chips for cash.
Afterwards, he left the casino with more than 100,000 yuan in cash.
Caesars Palace Hotel.
After leaving the casino, Richard went straight to the famous Caesars Palace Hotel and checked in at the hotel.
Although he was now an S-class wanted criminal in the Department of Mutant Affairs and had no way of providing legal identification to the front desk staff, it was not a big deal.
He just used his telepathy a little bit and the blonde receptionist, who was wearing a tight black dress that showed off her graceful curves, used her ID to help him check in.
Not only that, when the good-looking receptionist handed him the room card, she also handed him a business card.
"I get off work at 6 o'clock, and I can take leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
The receptionist spoke softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Although the receptionist was pretty, scoring about 10 out of 7, Richard had no intention of having an in-depth conversation with her.
This is the Marvel Universe!
Even if you want to have an in-depth conversation with the opposite sex about the origin of life, at least you should have an in-depth conversation with those well-known female heroes and villains.
At the very least, you should be like Tony Stark and be with female stars, supermodels, famous female reporters, magazine cover girls, etc., instead of with the receptionist who is not stunningly beautiful and does not have the bonus of status.
Richard came to the newly opened business suite with the room card, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and thought about rescuing Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
Although the system issued a mission to rescue them, it did not provide detailed intelligence.
He now only knew two pieces of information.
One is that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are being held captive by the Hellfire Club.
Another possibility is that the invitation mentioned by the King of Cards might be an invitation from the Hellfire Club.
……
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 51 "Black King" Sebastian Shaw
Although the current information is not much, Richard already knows where to start.
He didn't think that the system would issue the mission to rescue Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver for no reason, nor did he think that his meeting the King of Cards in the casino was a coincidence.
Not only that, his intuition also told him that the invitation that the King of Cards mentioned was, if nothing unexpected happened, an invitation from the Hellfire Club.
The King of Cards has the superpower of mind isolation, so he can't use telepathy on the King of Cards.
But there are definitely more mutants invited than just Gambit.
More importantly, other mutants would not have the superpower of mind isolation.
This means that he only needs to use telepathy to find the other mutants in Las Vegas to find out whether the invitation that King of Cards mentioned is related to the Hellfire Club.
If all goes well, he can also find members of the Hellfire Club through telepathy.
After a brief thought, he immediately used telepathy without any hesitation.
Without much effort, he sensed two to three hundred mutants in downtown Las Vegas.
He ignored the Ipsilon and Delta-class mutants and focused on sensing the Beta and Alpha-class mutants.
Although it is not yet certain whether the invitation mentioned by the King of Cards is related to the Hellfire Club.
But it goes without saying that mutants who are too weak will most likely not receive an invitation.
Compared to the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men, the Hellfire Club is less famous and is not as world-famous as the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men.
Although not as famous as the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men, the Hellfire Club is not much weaker than them.
Apart from anything else, those who can become official members of the Hellfire Club are, without exception, well-known figures in the Marvel Universe.
I won’t mention the four characters who appeared in the movie: "Black King" Sebastian Shaw, "White Queen" Emma, "Red Devil" Azazel, and "Torrent" Janos Quess.
In the comics, Magneto, Dark Phoenix, "Captain Britain" Brian, "Son of Mephisto" Blackheart, "Son of Satan" Hellstorm, "Son of Apocalypse" Carnage, Madame Hydra, "Red Queen", the clone of Phoenix Jean, and so on, were all members of the Hellfire Club at some point in time.
If we say that the Brotherhood of Mutants accepts everyone, anyone can join as long as they agree with the idea of using force to gain power.
The Hellfire Club is an absolute mutant organization that only recruits elite mutants.
Therefore, the mutants invited by the Hellfire Club are definitely not ordinary mutants of the Ipsilon and Delta levels.
Unless they have very special super powers.
After excluding the Ipsilon-class and Delta-class mutants, the number of mutants that Richard needed to further confirm suddenly dropped to less than fifty.
Without wasting any time, he immediately began to conduct more in-depth telepathy on the remaining mutants, reading their memories without making any noise.
Among the remaining mutants, more than half are mutant agents of the Department of Mutant Affairs.
After excluding the mutant agents, there are only 15 mutants left.
Among these 15 mutants, only 8 received the invitation.
Just as Richard guessed, the one who invited them was indeed the Hellfire Club.
However, they didn't know why the Hellfire Club invited them.
The invitation they received only contained the time and address, but no specific content.
The day after tomorrow at 8pm, Atomic Nightclub.
In addition to figuring out the time and place, Richard also figured out who the current leader of the Hellfire Club is.
Although this is not the X-Men movie universe, the leader of the Hellfire Club is still "Dark King" Sebastian Shaw.
In addition, "White Queen" Emma, "Red Devil" Azazel, and "Torrent" Janos Quess are now members of the Hellfire Club, exactly the same as in the movie.
After discovering that the current leader of the Hellfire Club was Black King Xiao, Richard immediately made a decision.
Hei Wang Xiao's X-gene superpower "energy absorption" is determined!
Black King Shaw is not an Omega-level mutant, but the energy absorption he possesses is stronger than many of the same type.
General energy absorption can only absorb single or several forms of energy.
Black King Xiao's energy absorption allows him to absorb all energy except spiritual energy, including but not limited to kinetic energy, thermal energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, etc.
More importantly, his energy absorption can directly absorb the energy from the enemy's attack.
Whether you attack him with fists, fire bullets and shells at him, or attack him with lightning and shock waves, the energy contained in the attack will be absorbed by him.
In addition, the energy absorbed and stored in his body can not only be released again, but also used to strengthen his own physical attributes.
Although his energy absorption is stronger than many mutants of the same type, he still has weaknesses.
Whether it is absorbing energy or storing energy in the body, there is a limit.
To put it simply, he cannot absorb infinitely and store permanently.
Once the upper limit is exceeded, it will cause serious harm to him.
If he could absorb and store energy infinitely, he would become a true Omega-level mutant.
When there is no energy stored in his body, Hei Wang Xiao can only be regarded as an ordinary person with a relatively strong body.
Whenever a fight broke out, he could quickly raise his physical attributes to superhuman levels.
