Chapter 22 - 022 Alkmaar

Through the narration, Donning learned about the past of this tragic beggar. The original Barak was not like this. He had a farm on the outskirts of Blot. He also had a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter. His petty bourgeois life was very happy. He lived a happy life in Blot. At that time, he was respectfully called Mr. Barak. But all this changed after he became addicted to gambling. Several people who tried every means to get close to him took him to the casino. At first, Barak refused. "I have to take care of my wife and daughter." But he couldn't resist the persuasion of those people. "Look, Mr. Barak, playing occasionally won't affect your life. This is just entertainment." In the end, Barak gambled bigger and bigger. At first, he won some, which made him complacent and fell in love with gambling. He got deeper and deeper until later he began to lose. The more he lost, the more he wanted to win back. "Watch, everything I lose today, I will win back tomorrow." But contrary to expectations, he lost more and more. Until he began to borrow money from the casino without telling his wife and owed a lot of money. For this reason, he mortgaged his farm to the bank to repay those huge sums. At this time, if he turned back, it would still be in time. But Barak chose to continue. Until later, he lost everything. Even the money borrowed from his former friends was lost to the casino. But Barak was not reconciled. He was so red-eyed from losing that he finally sold his wife and daughter. But this didn't help him turn the tables. He had nothing left and was living on the streets. Those people who had persuaded him before had long disappeared without a trace. Barak harmed himself and also his wife and daughter. He already regretted it, but it was too late. He went to the casino to redeem his wife and daughter, but this was of no avail. Instead, he was beaten and ridiculed. The scars on his face were left at that time. "Mr. Barak, your behavior is indeed not worthy of sympathy. But what I am more interested in is how you know those things about the Alckmar family? Is that distant nephew of Mr. Alckmar real?" Donning explored further. This is what he wants to know the most. He is not interested in listening to a person who has committed a heinous crime confess. Barak suddenly gave a bitter smile. "Well, so you are interested in these things. I can tell you that the distant nephew of Mr. Alckmar is real. He is one of the gamblers." With a pleasant surprise, Donning asked further. "You mean that one of the people who gambled with you at that time was Alckmar's distant nephew?" Barak corrected. "One of the gamblers. He always smokes expensive cigars and gambles heavily in the casino. He loses a lot of money every day, but it seems that his money is inexhaustible." "Do you still remember that casino?" "Of course I remember. That casino still exists and has become very large. I once secretly went to take a look at the door. That is a sinful place and has harmed many people." Their conversation became deeper and deeper. Donning felt that this was a breakthrough. This information was enough. Open a gap from Alckmar's distant nephew. After paying a gold Caesar, Donning said goodbye to the tavern. And Barak was driven out of the bar. His fate did not change because of this. The casino is located in a back alley in Blot City. If you don't look carefully, you can't find the entrance of that casino. The sign at the door says "Come in and gamble. Maybe you are the winner." What an inspiring sentence. As long as people who are slightly侥幸 will be persuaded by this sentence and then fall into the abyss. Entering the casino, the scale inside the casino is very inconsistent with the entrance. A larger doorway should be replaced because there are dozens of gambling tables in this casino. Gamblers come and go in an endless stream. Those who win show victorious smiles and look at those losers who regret losing money. On the left side of the casino is the bar. There is a sexy and beautiful waitress. Her chest is almost exposed. She throws a wink at Donning. "Hi, sir, have a glass of lucky wine." Donning didn't refuse. Holding a glass, he exchanged chips. "Good girl, I take your good words." Sitting at the gambling table, Donning was splashing banknotes. In an hour, he had already lost thousands of Caesars. God will punish people who are absent-minded. Donning's attention was all on observing everyone in the casino, hoping to find his target. But to his disappointment, that face didn't appear. Back at the bar. "Good girl, don't mind chatting with me, do you?" He threw out a few chips as tips. The girl at the bar refilled a glass of wine and came out. Her short skirt could almost not cover a certain secret place. Her hand stroked Donning's chest. "No one will refuse a gentleman like you." Sitting in the rest area prepared for guests, the girl sat on Donning's lap without hesitation. She put her chest button in front of Donning and put her arms around the gentleman's neck. "Gentleman, I'm sorry for making you lose money. I think this is the time when you should show your masculinity in bed and regain your confidence." Her red lips were rubbing against Donning's ear, and her voice was very low. "Usually I charge ten Caesars, but you only need three. It's only a discount for gentlemen." Donning pushed away the girl and talked in a very familiar tone. "Do you say that to other guests too?" The girl sat opposite Donning, shrugged, and showed a somewhat displeased expression after being rejected. "Some people doubt my sincerity. It's really disappointing. Are you trying to cover up the fact that you can't do it?" Donning seemed to be激怒. He got up and picked up the girl and walked towards the prepared rooms. These rooms are prepared for the gamblers here. Closing the door, Donning threw the girl on the bed. The girl didn't resist and showed her professional side. "Hurry up, gentleman. I can't wait to see your masculinity and your wild side." But Donning was not interested. He sat on a chair beside him, took out a stack of Caesars, and took out a few and threw them up. "I think I should tell you the purpose of my coming here." He made up a story. A friend lost all his family property in this casino. He had to do something for that friend. For example, find the gentleman who won his money and win back what was lost. But in today's casino, he didn't see that gentleman. Donning seemed very angry. The girl believed it. She picked up those Caesars. "Well, gentleman, your friend should be very happy to have a warm-hearted friend like you. For your generosity, I can't deceive you. That gentleman won't play a game with a strange gambler. You need to become a regular customer of this casino and prove that you have enough strength. Three months... As long as you play in this casino for three months, someone will naturally notify you." Three months. Donning didn't want to waste three months here. Maybe in these three months, he could find an easier opportunity to get close to the Alckmar family. But he didn't want to give up this opportunity. He had to think of a way. "Then is there any way to quickly attract his attention?" The girl put the Caesars in the position of her chest. "Unless you can buy this casino, you can see that gentleman soon. But that requires a lot of money." Leaving the casino with disappointment, the girl sent Donning to the door. "Gentleman, from now on, I can give you one time for free. Don't keep me waiting too long." Donning walked on the street. Things were a bit tricky and not as smooth as imagined. Alckmar's distant nephew only gambles with familiar people. Familiar people... This word reminded him of someone.
