THE LIFE OF A MAN

PART 276'S

Happy reading ....

***********

London, England..

“Remember when I said that I will introduce you with my bestfriend who is the owner of this place?”

“(Remember I said earlier that I would introduce you to my best friend who is the owner of this place?)”

Mickey Pitts spoke again to the Son who had been about to leave the Poker playground, where the Son's landslide victory was based on his ability to play such card games.

“Yes in remember.” Putra Sahut.

Where Putra stopped his steps and turned his head tilted while standing casually on Mickey who was already standing, but still on the side of his seat while playing Poker against Putra.

What Mickey Pitts thought, Son is just an amateur card player who was lucky to win while playing a card type game called Black Jack before he challenged the Son who introduced himself as Patrick to play the type of card game he mastered, which he played, because Mickey is a person who is able to read people's movements very carefully.

Well at least it's true, but that was before Mickey Pitts met Son. Who inevitably made the man remember the expression,

“Above the sky there is still sky.”

Or, or,

“Don’t judge a book from it’s cover (Do not judge a book by its cover)”

Which means, as great as anyone, there must be people whose prowess exceeds that of the great man himself.

Even if man is the greatest man on earth, there is still something greater on it.

The Creator, of course.

Don't judge someone from the outside.

Because what the eye sees, is not necessarily the reality.

That's the son Mickey Pitts saw as a man named Patrick who looked ordinary.

Just a regular Casino guest who happens to win huge amounts of money at the Casino belongs to Mickey's friend, whose Son and his flock refer to as ‘The Chicago’ guy.

Where the ‘Chicago’ man is a great ally of Jaeden who is being pursued by the Son, just as his allies who Putra considers as his greatest enemy because it has killed Rery and his wife, as well as trying to make Anthony's life drift with the cruel treatment of Jaeden who drowned Anthony in the waters in a dock in Ravenna.

However, Putra wants to play first with a side target while he plays also indirectly with his main target. Because whatever the ‘Chicago’ guy does in the UK, it will definitely be related to Jaeden. If the ‘Cicago’ man is losing, then Jaeden will automatically lose.

So that's what the Son is doing now, while waiting for Jaeden to return to England.

Let's say that the Son is disarming Jaeden without the man ever thinking. And just as the Son wanted - in addition to wanting to finish off Jaeden, the Son wanted to destroy his life first. Make Jaeden have no ‘apa-apa’ or ‘who-who’ his term after he returned to England.

And being inside the Casino belonging to Jaeden's biggest and strongest ally, is part of Putra's plan, having previously grounded the scorched three places associated with Jaeden's business, following Jaeden's other allies. One of them is related to the Damian family.

The casino where it is located today is the fourth place that Putra has targeted to be destroyed, following its owner.

But do not want the Son of the earth to be scorched, because a casino is a business that is quite said to be profitable.

And Putra has had his own plan on the Casino belonging to Jaeden's greatest and strongest ally.

So this is where the Son is now.

Enter undaunted to the opponent's cage, when the owner is even on the spot.

Although Putra has not met directly with the ‘Chicago Guy’ or ‘Man Chicago’ the owner of the Casino which currently has the title of the largest Casino in the UK.

Casino that just Putra ‘rabok’ in a subtle way, but it would be enough to make a shock because the results that Putra won from the game that Putra participated in, quite a lot.

Where it creates dissatisfaction in someone who is very trusted by the owner, to clean up the people who managed to get a big profit in the Casino.

Which, the person in question, tried to stop Putra from going off, with money that was previously a man named Mickey Pitts who believed would fall into his hands.

Somehow, Mickey Pitts must be able to reclaim the money the Son is carrying in two bags. His backup plan is to bring Son together with ‘The Chicago’ guy who is the one who gives Mickey confidence, while Mickey will find out more details about the Son he knows as Patrick, as well as looking for his weaknesses.

And it's possible, ‘The Chicago’ guy who said the boss of Mickey knew the Son aka Patrick.

Whatever it is, obviously Mickey Pitts will do a lot of ways to make himself survive the rampage of the Boss because he has lost a lot of money, where the money belongs to the ‘Man Chicago’-owner of the Casino where Mickey lives.

“Remember when I said that I will introduce you with my bestfriend who is the owner of this place?”

“(Remember I said earlier that I would introduce you to my best friend who is the owner of this place?)”

Mickey Pitts who again spoke again Son who had been about to leave the place to play Poker, where the Son's landslide victory got based on his ability to play card games of that type.

Where the Son tricked Mickey by making false gestures and gestures, to be read by the very confident Mickey Pitts, and to watch the Son carefully from the moment the game of Poker began. Although Mickey's face looks ordinary.

“Yes in remember.” Putra Sahut.

“Then I will take you to meet him now (I'll take you to see him now)”

Then Mickey Pitts spoke again, after he glanced at the watch on his wrist as he revealed his smile of hospitality to the Son afterwards.

“Ah about that (about it ).”

The son replied while slightly agitated.

“Maybe next time (Maybe next time).”

Then Putra gave his refusal at the invitation of Mickey Pitts who wanted to introduce him to the owner of the Casino.

Where the face of Mickey Pitts then spontaneously seemed unhappy, because the Son who seemed indifferent to the invitation.

“It will be very important to refused an invitation a person from the place that you’re visiting Mister Patrick (It would be very rude to refuse an invitation from someone on the place you visit Mr Patrick)”

However, Mickey quickly changed his facial expression and acted and spoke as before to Son.

The son smiled too thinly.

As the Son looked at Mickey Pitts.

“Well ----“ The next son speaks. “Forgive my manner, but I am (Excuse my attitude. But yes) ---“ said Putra. “I’m such an implicite man (I am indeed an impolite man).”.

The son grimaced, then he smiled meaningfully at Mickey Pitts whose jaw seemed to be hardened.

“But thank you for the invitation by the way (But anyway thank you for the invitation)”

The son showed his smile again.

“But I won’t take any risk if your bestfriend which is the owner of this place want take this money by another ‘match’ (But I don't want to take any chances if your best friend which one is the owner of this place want to take the money I have with another ‘match’)”

And the following gaze a meaningful smile, Son lay on Mickey Pitts.

Mickey's facial features changed, his forehead spontaneously frowning slightly.

“I know Mister Mickey.. I know exactly what kind of ways that almost all Casino’s own used to avoid the big winner of this place not get out of their place for not go just like that (I know Mr. Mickey.. I know exactly what ways almost all Casino owners use to prevent the big winners in their place from just leaving )”

***

“As I know how to read my opponent expression in the card table (I'd better know how to read my opponent's facial expression on the card table) ----“

Again, the Son smiled meaningfully at Mickey Pitts whose jaw seemed to harden again, and glared at the Son with his eyes in surprise and fury, especially as the Son continued his sentence.

“My advice for you Mister Mickey, never judge a book from it’s cover. and control your high confidence (My advice to you Mr. Mickey, don't judge a book by its cover.. and control that high confidence of yourselves).”

While the Son shakes his head briefly.

“Especially in front of me (Especially in front of me)”

Then the Son spoke again.

But this time there was no smile that the Son showed Mickey Pitts.

Then the Son re-aligned his body to step away from Mickey.

“I wonder who the real are you, Mister Patrick (I'm curious about who you really are, Mr. Patrick)”

Mickey Pitts speaks when Son has returned to his feet.

“And why you look like such in hiding (And why do you look so rushed)?”

Mickey spoke again, but Putra ignored him and continued walking.

“Seems that you know Mister Fisher and you avoiding to meet him. Is it you know each other (Looks like you know Mr. Fisher and avoided seeing him. Do you know each other maybe)?----“

Mickey Pitts is still talking and pursuing the steps of the Son who actually does not look hasty as well. Just ignore Mickey who's babbling.

“Or could be say.. you have, some kind of matter with him that’s why you hurry to go from here (Or can be said, something to do with it so you are in a hurry to get out of here immediately) ----“

The son stopped his steps again.

“I never have any kind of matter with him before (I've never had any business with him before)”

The son turned around again and looked at Mickey Pitts, whereupon the man smiled obliquely at the Son later. “Well, then I have to make sure about it (Then, then I have to make sure of it first).”

“Hem.” The son cleared his throat deeply, when he realized that two people dressed as bodyguards would approach him.

“Please be cooperative while I’m taking you to him (Please work together to bring you to meet him)--“ said Mickey Pitts, who began to perform subtle coercion on the Son.

Son tilted.

“How if I refuse to cooperate (What if I refuse to cooperate)?”

*****

Mickey Pitts was again surprised by the Son, because the man he knew as someone named Patrick was calm, just calm, although Mickey is sure very well if Putra has caught the motion – giggled two of his men who want to memepet Putra.

“Well, forgive me if I become impolite then have to push you (If so, then, I'm sorry if I was being disrespectful and had to force you)-“ Mickey replied while looking at Son meaningfully. “Now pl (Now si)-“

Just as Mickey Pitts coded two of his men for more men's memepet Putra, a noisy and boisterous sound was heard from the second floor, where many slot machine games lined up.

“What happen (What happened)?”-“ Attention Mickey Pitts is a little distracted.

While the Son grinned in his heart. “Seems that there’s another big winner tonne here (It looks like there's another big winner tonight)”

And Mickey Pitts's attention was turned back to Son when Son spoke just now.

“Sir, someone’s has win a jackpot in the slot machine (Master, someone has won the biggest prize in the slot machine) ---“

A Casino staff member came rushing in front of Mickey Pitts and the Casino manager who had also swung his feet to go to the floor where the noise and boisterousness were heard.

“WHAT (WHAT)?!”

Mickey Pitts and the same Casino manager – are as squealing as their visibly obvious faces of surprise.

While the Son has put on his smile.
