"Hey, hey, have you heard? The underground casino on West Street that was about to close down was saved by an old man.”
"What? What are you talking about? That casino is about to collapse. How can anyone save it…"
"What I said is true. That old man is very generous. He is very generous every time, but he only wins the first round. After that, he keeps losing. It's as if the casino is cheating.”
"Yes, yes, I heard that too. That old man is very interesting. He keeps gambling when he loses and doesn't know how to stop his losses in time. He seems to have lost more than a million Bailey. Haha, I think he's old and muddle-headed. More than a million Bailey is enough for a family of three to live comfortably for several years.”
On the way back to the tavern, Lin Mo heard some gossip.
He didn't need to ask to know that these people were talking about Raley.
He wasn't sure if it was true that he could revive the dying casino by himself, but it was definitely something that he could do.
Fortunately, that guy had taken out more than half of his money to the tavern owner before going to the casino. Otherwise, he would have lost everything.
Lin Mo continued walking forward.
When they turned a corner in an alley, they coincidentally bumped into Raley, who was walking toward them with a smile on his face.
"Yo, Lin Mo." Riley smiled and waved at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo nodded expressionlessly as a response.
"Hahaha, my luck wasn't good today. When I saw someone else play the last round, I also placed a bet. Although I didn't have any money to bet, the result was really bigger than I thought. Sigh, what a pity. If I had money, I would definitely have earned it back.”As Riley spoke, he looked at Lin Mo and said," You should still have a lot of money, right? Lend me some."”
Lin Mo was speechless.
Good heavens, he had actually fallen to the point of borrowing money?
You're the Nether King, Riley…
"I'm not lending it to you," Lin Mo said speechlessly.
“欸？You really don't want to borrow it?" " If you lend it to me, I'll definitely win it back with interest," said Riley." I'll pay you back with 10% interest. How about that?"”
"Nothing much." Lin Mo suddenly thought of something and chuckled." I can lend you money. Then, I'll write off the wine I owe you."”
Riley looked at Lin Mo in shock, then laughed out loud."Hahaha... I didn't expect you to do such a thing just to escape a drink. In that case, I won't lend it to you.”
Lin Mo was speechless.
Therefore, in the end, money and gambling were not as good as drinking.
Lin Mo didn't understand why this guy insisted on him treating him to a drink.
Even if he was given a million Bailey and a bottle of wine to choose, he would still choose the wine…
"Hahaha, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to the tavern and continue drinking.”Riley laughed and patted Lin Mo's back. He had wanted to push him forward.
In the end, just as his hand was about to touch Lin Mo's back, Lin Mo took a step forward, causing him to miss.
It seemed like a coincidence, but Riley knew very well that Lin Mo had done it on purpose.
Retracting his hand, Riley said thoughtfully,""Looks like you really don't like others touching you.”
"I don't like people disturbing me. Can you be quiet?”Lin Mo replied speechlessly.
Riley couldn't help but laugh again."Hahaha, you're really an interesting kid.”
Lin Mo couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on him and sped up.
Riley followed behind him.
When they arrived at the entrance of the tavern.
Bartolomeo was squatting on the stone steps in front of the tavern.
Seeing Lin Mo, Bartolomeo immediately jumped up from the stone steps and said with a smile,""I asked the owner of this tavern. Your name is Lin Mo, right? My name is Bartolomeo. Can we be friends?”
Lin Mo was speechless.
"Oh? You're quite popular." Riley smiled.
Bartolomeo said excitedly," Lin Mo, you're really amazing. You look younger than me. Ahhh, I really want to be friends with you. Just promise me, okay?"”
"Not good!" Lin Mo rejected him decisively and walked past him directly into the tavern.
Bartolomeo was instantly petrified on the spot, his expression extremely painful."Ah, it's over. I'm hated…"
When Riley passed by him, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled."True friends can stand the test. If you can't even accept this, then give up as soon as possible. That kid, Lin Mo, can't be dealt with by ordinary methods.”
After saying that, Riley followed Lin Mo into the tavern.
Bartolomeo stared blankly at the old man and young man who walked into the tavern. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
His mood, which had been very disheartened just now, rose again.
"That's right!" Bartolomeo clenched his fists. If I can't even withstand this test, then I don't deserve to be Lin Mo's friend! Ahaha, I'll definitely get your approval, Lin Mo!”
Lin Mo had heard everything that Riley had said to Bartolomeo.
They entered the tavern.
When the tavern owner saw that the two of them had returned, he immediately served them drinks.
Lin Mo uncorked the bottle and took a sip. Then, he said speechlessly,""Why are you talking nonsense with that fellow…"
"It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, right?" That green-haired kid looked like a hooligan with a bad temper, but he was actually a very innocent child. Perhaps he couldn't help you now, but he might be able to help you a lot in the future.”
Lin Mo was speechless.
Hehe, no need!
No one knew the future of the cockscomb man better than Lin Mo.
He didn't need someone who would blindly worship an idol in the future. He should just let him worship Luffy.
"Cut the crap that has nothing to do with you.”Lin Mo continued drinking expressionlessly.
Riley smiled but didn't say anything.
The tavern owner wiped his cup and smiled." You're really amazing, Lin Mo. You dare to speak to Mr. Riley like this. Even if you're not the first, you're definitely the youngest."”
"It's fine, it's fine." Riley waved his hand nonchalantly." This kid is right. I was being a busybody. Hahaha."”
While Riley was still laughing and drinking.
A cold person appeared outside the tavern.
There was a loud bang.
The lock on the tavern's door was shattered.
A tall figure walked down the spiral stone stairs.
Before the tavern owner could exclaim.
Qing Zhi appeared outside the small wooden door of the tavern hall.
He bent down slightly and looked into the door. When Qing Zhi saw who was sitting with Lin Mo and drinking, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
"Ah? Was it Nether King Riley? He actually came to Roguetown for Roger's death anniversary?”Qing Zhi gently pushed open the small wooden door and walked in.
The tavern owner was frightened when he saw that Qing Zhi recognized Riley.
Riley continued to drink as if nothing had happened. He smiled and said,"I've already retired, but you navy people are still chasing me relentlessly.”
"Your bounty is still up. Even if you retire, you're still a pirate.”Qing Zhi sat down on the other side of Lin Mo and looked at the tavern owner. He raised his hand and said," Um, boss, please give me a glass of Sherry."”
