"You've actually been paying attention? I'm surprised, I figured you were just going to set up some shitty illegal smuggling or some gambling thing and settle in.

Victor's being a bit smug here. He's covering for the fact he has no actual clue what's going on. Betting on Huey is a safe bet but he's not the only one out there that Victor knows about who has their fingers in things. Maybe it's someone else. Maybe it's something left behind by the late Szilard.
