What! Our family is actually the descendant of the evil god?.
Chapter 509 The calm before the storm
Seeing this, Eros smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed 3 pence of the 56 shillings and 56 pence he had just won in front of Vivian.
Vivian didn't hesitate and happily took the penny that Eros pushed over to her.
Then he counted them one by one in front of himself, looking like a little money-grubber.
Because the curse was lifted, she no longer had to worry about accidentally losing the money she had.
If we could forget about the huge debt, life would be so wonderful now.
After taking a glance at the cute and contrasting Vivian, Eros turned his gaze to the pile of waste cards on the table, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
Under David's nervous gaze, all the cards originally in David's hand were found out one by one.
As an Eros who was not related to the matter, how could David's little action just now be hidden from him...Barbara in his mind.
After the last card was found and placed in front of David, David smiled awkwardly.
When Peter saw David's expression, he knew there was nothing wrong with the cards Conan found.
So, he took a look at the cards on the table, casually turned over his own cards on the table, and said in a quiet voice:
"Give me money!"
Seeing Peter like this, Eros also turned his cards over on the table and smiled at David:
"Don't forget mine!"
Knowing that he couldn't fool people anymore, David had to reluctantly give up all the money he had won, including part of the original capital in his pocket.
He reached out and took the 2 shillings and 10 pence that David handed over reluctantly, and then Eros gave the 10 pence change to Vivian beside him.
Vivian took the 10 pence with joy, and then praised happily:
"You are such a good man!"
Hearing this, Eros paused for a moment while cutting the cards, then chuckled and said:
"Thank you Ms. Vivian for the compliment."
You know what, when I was sharing the money with Vivian while playing cards, I really felt like I was feeding a little pet.
Vivian at this time is completely different from the cold and ruthless queen during the battle.
It's really an extreme contrast.
The next few people played cards for a while. Eros, who could directly see the size of the opponent's cards, naturally returned with a full load.
In addition to him, Vivian, who had been getting some money, also had a happy look on her face.
Only Peter and David, the two losers, looked sad.
Half a day's salary was gone just like that.
"No, no, let's stop here for today." Peter threw the cards in his hand on the table and muttered.
David on the other side saw this and quickly threw away his cards, then echoed:
"We have to go out on patrol, so let's stop here for tonight."
As they spoke, the two of them hurriedly got up, put on their raincoats and ran out of the office.
Seeing them like this, Vivian leaned forward and dug the edge of the table into her soft chest, then she reached out and turned over the cards that Peter and David had thrown on the table.
After seeing the two decks of cards with extremely small values, she curled her lips and said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone:
"These two guys are playing dirty. I guess they know they're going to lose, so they're just making up excuses on purpose."
If they ran away, she would lose a share of the dividends. How could Vivian be willing to accept this?
The big winner Eros smiled slightly and said calmly in a gentle tone:
"It doesn't matter, we've won enough."
Hearing Eros' words, Vivian praised sincerely:
"You're really good at playing cards!"
Eros smiled modestly: "Luck, luck, this is all the favor of God."
In the soul space, Barbara curled her lips, and a hint of disgust appeared in her beautiful eyes.
He clearly asked me to cooperate with him in cheating, but he still said it was luck. Bah! Men are really pigs.
Eros unnoticeably withdrew his gaze from Vivian's chest, which was deformed by the edge of the table, and reached out to put away the cards on the table.
Then he stood up and said to Vivian beside him with a smile:
"It's time for us to go on night patrol too."
Vivian nodded slightly, the expression on her face instantly restrained, and in the blink of an eye she turned into the cold and beautiful combat nun.
If Eros had not clearly remembered Vivian's expression just now, which was like that of a little pet, he would probably have thought that he was dazzled and had an illusion.
After chuckling and shaking his head, Eros took out his raincoat and put it on, then walked out into the sticky, wet rain.
Haidaram was noisy that night, as there were many ordinary people holding tools on every street.
Some of them were clearing the drains on the streets, while others were cleaning up the water that had overflowed into their yards.
But without exception, everyone was complaining about the bad weather.
The heavy rain that lasted for several days has had too many impacts.
Some factories stopped production and workers were forced to rest at home.
Once those workers lose their source of income, they can only use their meager savings to buy food.
At this moment, the price of rye bread has not increased much, only the prices of some fish and vegetables have increased significantly.
Fortunately, this doesn’t affect them because they can’t afford to eat those things normally.
But if the rain continues for a while, the rye bread stock will be almost consumed.
Due to the increased difficulty of transportation and the increase in labor costs, the price of rye bread will inevitably rise sharply.
Therefore, no one wanted the rain to continue.
Ordinary people feel bad about their already meager savings, while factory owners feel bad about the losses they will suffer from one more day of shutdown.
During the patrol tonight, Eros had heard more than once that ordinary people, with their trembling voices, devoutly prayed to the gods who looked down on the world.
In Eros's vision, the power of faith generated tonight was exceptionally pure and bright.
At five o'clock in the morning, Eros returned to the Special Operations Department office on time.
"Did Conan find anything last night?" Peter, who was taking off his raincoat in the office, asked casually when he saw Eros come in.
Eros shook his head and answered without hiding anything: "No, what about you?"
Peter and David also shook their heads. Seeing this, Peter sighed and said:
"If it weren't for Vivian's spiritual warning that something big was going to happen, I would have really thought that there were no cultists left in Haidaram now."
"Ever since the incident with the Mist Cult that night, Haidaram has been too quiet and too normal."
Eros thought for a moment, organized his words, and then chuckled:
"It's like... the calm before the storm."
After hearing Eros' words, Peter was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands fiercely and said:
"Yes! That's the feeling."
"Ever since I knew something big was going to happen, I've always felt like the current normal is just the calm before the storm."
"If I catch those damn cultists, I'm going to shove my boots up their asses."
