Chapter 125： Explosive new year start

This is Locke's win.

Since Locke has no idea to say, Gwen is not the kind of big mouth, there is no need to say it everywhere.

They are just boyfriend and girlfriend, not husband and wife.

Even if it is a husband and wife, Gwen will not say much.

Mother Helen said that she lived her own life, and she didn't need to care what others said. She and her relatives on Helen's side honestly felt that it was too small and too shabby to be squeezed into that apartment.

Helen and Gwen also said that if we want to compare with others, what kind of head is it? We don’t want to be good. It’s better to be richer and happier than the average person. Let them say what others say.

Helen had always thought the small apartment was fine.

Gwen thinks so too.

Smaller, has the taste of home.

Like the apartment in the Star Building that Locke bought.

Big is big.

But every time Gwen and Locke watched the video, watching Locke walking in the dark living room, I always felt that it was like watching a horror movie, and it didn't feel like home at all.

Cindy listened to Gwen's words and nodded: "Yes, I heard my dad say that every time he eats with their boss, he is under a lot of pressure. For the top rich, it is better to eat on the roadside when eating with them. burgers."

Gwen and Locke looked at each other and smiled.

There are burgers on top.

It was specially airlifted, and it is said to be from one of Tony Stark's favorite burger joints.

Locke looked around: "Hey, what about Robert?"

Kahn pointed upstairs: "It's up there."

Locke smiled: "Still at the poker table?"

Kahn nodded: "When Cindy and I came over, it was already there, and that, your friend, what is Dylan's name."

Locke raised an eyebrow.

Gwen also asked Cindy, "What about Jennifer and Christine?"

"Not yet."

Cindy turned her head to look and said, "When Kahn and I came over, we walked around and didn't find the two of them."

"Then leave them alone and eat first."

Locke said so, and looked at Gwen: "I've been sitting for almost a few hours, and I feel hungry."

Gwen laughed: "There's no free expensive drinks here."

Locke shrugged: "I can eat wagyu beef for thousands of dollars, and bourbon for fifty dollars. I can also drink it, but I won't pick it."

If you let him buy it, it must be so expensive.

But Locke is really not that particular about what he eats and drinks. He doesn't think that he should eat more than how much money he has just because of how much money he has.

after awhile.

Just when Locke helped Gwen and Cindy order a cup of hot cocoa, Jennifer, who had changed into a dress, and Christine also walked down the stairs on the second floor.

"Gwen."

"Cindy!"

Jennifer walked over here and invited Gwen and Cindy, "Christine and I are going to the ballroom. Are you going? I heard that there is a New Year's Eve event at the ballroom."

Cindy and Kahn glanced at each other, expressing interest.

"Gwen, are you going?"

"Wait a minute."

Gwen was still thinking about the hot cocoa that was served immediately, and said to Cindy, "You and Kahn go first, we will find you later."

And she plans to wait a while to listen to the captain's New Year's speech.

This is also a great learning opportunity.

Cindy nodded, said okay, and then said to Jennifer and Christine who initiated the invitation: "Then let's go first, the ballroom should be very lively."

Jennifer made an exaggerated expression: "There are too many people."

Cindy pulled Kahn to get up: "Gwen, let's go first, remember to come to us quickly, we have to count down together."

Gwen smiled.

but……

Before Gwen could say anything, the four people over there had already left with a bang and ran faster than a rabbit.

Gwen looked back, looked at the hot cocoa served, and pushed the hot cocoa originally for Cindy in front of Locke: "Will we go over later?"

Locke is very frank: "To be honest, I don't want to go."

The ballroom is too noisy.

It is a favorite assassination place for many killers, because the assassination in the dance hall, even if there is no silencer, it can well cover up the movement of the shooting.

His six senses were still slightly touched.

It reminded him that there seemed to be some kind of lurking threat.

but……

Locke has yet to find any kind of threat.

So at this time, try not to go to some risky places if you can.

Locke wasn't worried about himself, but he was worried about Gwen.

Gwen held the hot cocoa, warmed his hands, looked at Locke, and smiled: "Then we are here. I heard that there will be a speech from the captain later, and a former first-line singer will sing."

Locke nodded.

His original intention was to go back to the room and squat earlier, but here, that's fine too.

Locke's peripheral vision took in the pictures from all directions.

Then……

Locke looked curiously at Dylan who was hooking up with a beautiful woman at the entrance of the stairs.

And that beauty seems to be a widow.

reason?

That beauty has a son, and Dylan is not excluded, not a widow, that is the Queen of the Sea, there is no third possibility.

after awhile.

Locke looked at Dylan who had a smile on his face, grabbed the chips and walked down the stairs, and shouted.

Dylan saw this and came over.

Locke frowned at Dylan: "What's the situation."

Dylan's face turned serious: "I want to know, I heard that you went to Stark's poker game tonight, tell me how much you earned, and I'll tell you."

"fair enough."

Locke nodded: "You go first."

Dylan said, "Maggie, and her son, Connor!"

"married?"

"Divorced."

"As expected of you!"

"..."

Dylan twitched the corners of his mouth, ignoring Locke's compliment, and looked at Locke: "Okay, it's your turn."

Locke said with a smile: "Not much, I made a small profit of 55 million."

Dylan's eyes widened: "How much?"

The corner of Locke's mouth rose and looked at Dylan: "I told you that you can go with me, but you won't go by yourself."

Dylan scanned Locke up and down: "Something's wrong, you've taken nearly 60 million, and you can still come out alive?"

If this is inside the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas.

Not to mention sixty million.

Even 10 million will make you one of the countless missing persons after you walk out of the casino.

Locke laughed and shrugged: "Once again, I reminded you, how about you, how much you earn."

Dylan shook his head and looked at the chips in his hand: "Not much, two million."

Two million is fine.

Moreover, this must be the figure that Dylan said after figuring out the cost of the cruise.

Dylan looked into the distance at this time, his eyes lit up, got up, and left directly.

Locke followed Dylan's forward gaze and shook his head.

While in Las Vegas, Dylan showed an unusual passion for young women, especially divorced ones.

Those from the military have problems.

Gwen next to him was listening to the words of Locke and Dylan, and seemed to think of something, looking at Locke: "I used to think that money is very valuable, but during your conversation with Dylan, I suddenly discovered that money, a little It's worthless."

George's annual salary is only 100,000 a year.

Not to mention the fact that Locke just earned George's 600-year annual salary, Dylan just said his gains...

good guy.

That was George's annual salary for twenty years.

No wonder Dad said that when he grows up, he will know that money is easy to earn in the eyes of some people.

Gwen thought so in his heart, and then, suddenly, he felt distressed for George.

Locke smiled slightly, held Gwen's hands, and looked at Gwen: "I won't sign a prenuptial agreement."

Gwen opened his mouth and rolled his eyes: "I didn't promise to marry you."

Do you think you can cheat her out of not signing a prenuptial agreement?

It's not that easy.

at this time.

The restaurant gradually quieted down.

The dark-skinned captain also came to the stage to prepare a New Year's speech.

"The ocean has always been the cradle of life!"

"Since humans first emerged from this salty deep ocean, we've seen water as an opportunity to be reborn."

"Poseidon!"

"He is the **** of the sea!"

"He lived deep under the sea, in palaces made of coral and precious stones."

"so……"

The dark-skinned captain gestured with emotion, and his tone was very enthusiastic: "So, what other way can we celebrate the birth of the new year better than riding this old guy directly? ?"

Holding a wine glass.

The dark-skinned captain looked at the many distinguished guests at the banquet: "I wish you all the best in the new year, and keep it up, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Accompanied by the applause from all over the place, many VIPs sitting on the table raised the champagne in their hands, looked at each other and shouted toast.

Holding up the hot cocoa in his cup, Locke also looked at Gwen with a smile: "New Year's Eve, and what I just said was serious."

Gwen's eyes twinkled, looked at Locke with a smile, and clinked glasses with Locke: "I hope that in five years, you can still remember today's oath and honor those who keep the promise."

Five years later, she and Locke were also twenty-two.

that time……

can really be together.

Ding sound.

Two cups of hot cocoa collided with each other.

Accompanied by the sound of the countdown starting to get louder.

"Cheers, five years later!"

"Cheers, five years later!"

Locke and Gwen looked at each other and took a sip of the hot cocoa in the cup.

Then.

Locke looked at the hot cocoa on Gwen's lips, and his mind moved.

ten!

Nine!

Eight!

seven!

Locke stepped forward, hugged Gwen, and kissed the thin lips that felt different every time he tasted it.

Gwen also responded to Locke.

three!

two!

one!

Happy New Year.

Accompanied by the sound of various ready fireworks being released in the ballroom.

Time has officially entered the zero-five year.

Locke and Gwen release.

"Hello Seventeen-year-old Gwen."

"Hello, seventeen-year-old Locke!"

Locke and Gwen have a lot of fun and embrace each other, perfectly integrated into this happy New Year's carnival that is not carnival.
