Chapter 81 The Penguin, but we still don't know what's going to happen.
Regardless of what Jaeger is planning, he's currently having a blast playing all-in at the poker table.
As the gamblers had said before, Jaeger took the $200 million Bruce gave him and went on a gambling spree. His gambling style was less aggressive and more like that of a mentally ill person having a fit, which made no one dare to follow him.
After all, no one would confidently go all in every round at a poker table in a place like the Iceberg Club.
Of course, no one dared to follow suit, so no one earned as much as him.
In a short period of time, Jaeger multiplied his chips several times over and went straight to the only table in the entire venue with a starting bet of tens of millions, which was also the most eye-catching place in the Iceberg Club.
As for how Jaeger did it...
Nonsense, could it be luck or skill? Of course it's thanks to the [Wizard].
Relying on his wizarding abilities, Jaeger played cards entirely with magic, which was no different from having X-ray vision. He naturally knew when to quit and when to gamble heavily.
However, if it were truly for money or for fun, Jaeger would certainly not gamble with others in such an unfair way... although the Iceberg Club isn't exactly clean in this regard either.
Jaeger's real purpose in betting here is twofold.
Firstly, it's to attract everyone's attention, the more the better.
The more people pay attention to him, the fewer people will notice his little tricks.
That is to use Burke.
As a very useful snake, Burks has already excelled in personal storage and healing, but let's not forget that among the abilities it initially presented to Jaeger was another one—
[Infiltration Investigation - $150]
Considering his other two abilities, Burks likely has his own unique strengths in intelligence gathering.
The Iceberg Club's environment, with its vast amount of complex and chaotic information, was perfect for Burke to fish in troubled waters and conduct his investigation.
However, a snake is still a bit too conspicuous, and it still takes Jaeger to attract attention... relying on the place with the highest traffic in the Iceberg Club, gambling in the most extreme style.
Otherwise, it would probably take a celebrity like Bruce Wayne to do a pole striptease in front of everyone to have the same level of attention-grabbing power as Jaeger has now.
Besides, gambling can also serve other purposes.
In just one hour, Jaeger discovered that the dealers at the Iceberg Club had tampered with the tables countless times, demonstrating that they were indeed not very clean.
However, since it's gambling, it's impossible to expect the house to be completely honest and not manipulate things; it's not like it's charity.
Besides, this is Gotham, where is there so much fairness?
Getting back to the main point, the owner of the Iceberg Club definitely wouldn't want to see Jaeger keep winning like this.
Until a certain critical point, someone will definitely come to stop me... I just don't know how.
But based on Jaeger's understanding of the Iceberg Club, the behind-the-scenes boss might be greedy, but he was also cunning and clever enough that he would not choose to end this gambling drama with violence, but would most likely send someone to see him.
In that case, there is a high probability that Jaeger will be able to meet or contact that boss.
Jaeger was quite interested in this boss who had been keeping a low profile, and he understood that the other party probably knew who the employer of the counterfeit goods was.
After all, they all started out selling intelligence, so it's impossible for the other party to be completely unaware of the transactions taking place on their territory.
And as long as he could meet them, Jaeger always found a way to extract information from them.
If all else fails, you can simply call Batman with one click to summon this interrogation expert—the imposter himself, the kind Hatcher would give a five-star rating to.
And just as Jaeger had predicted, when he won his gamble once again and took all the money from everyone at the table…
A waiter dressed in an elegant tailcoat quietly slipped out from the crowd and came to Jaeger's side.
"Sir," the waiter said politely, "our boss would like to see you."
