Whispering Poems

Chapter 577 Information Exchange
The final final game is played in a fairly traditional three-game two-win method, and in each game, 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. The first game to accumulate 10 points wins a game.

And, after each round, there will be a 10-minute break.However, players cannot leave the floor during the break to prevent cheating in other ways.

The first round went quickly, not only Shad, but even Tifa could see that Mr. Virgil Cameron was obviously absent-minded.The most obvious manifestation is that in the third round of the first round, after Mr. Cameron won the queen for his second card, he still asked for a card.After being reminded, although he was embarrassed to apologize, he still let the onlookers discuss in a low voice.

"If I didn't know that I was innocent, I would have wondered if I drugged him."

Xia De whispered in his heart, but it was very clear that the other party should be thinking about connecting with "Grey Eagle".

"I didn't contact him in advance, which caused him to be absent-minded in playing cards. I don't know if this is a kind of cheating outside of the game."

With Mr Cameron distracted, Shad won comfortably in the first round 10-4, and the method of victory did not give him much satisfaction.

Mr. Cameron didn't seem to care about winning or losing at all. As the referee, Chairman Stan announced the end of the first round. After a 10-minute break, he immediately stood up, and then explained to his female partner behind him in a voice of appropriate size. After going to the bathroom, he hurriedly left the auditorium of the competition.

Before leaving, he clearly glanced at Xia De, which undoubtedly meant to let Xia De follow him.

Xia De's initial thought was that he didn't want to get involved in the Grey-headed Eagle's affairs, but when he saw that special coin, he had already made up his mind.And although he didn't move, the maid behind him seemed to know how to read his mind, seeing that Xia De wanted to follow.

She leaned over again and whispered in Xia De's ear:

"I want to remind you that Mr. Cameron is hanging out with the current Grand Duke of the Principality of Sete."

"I know huh? Oh, don't worry, I only like women."

Xia De said casually, glanced at Tifa, and suddenly said jokingly:

"Especially a girl of your stature."

Tifa was not shy, but smiled:

"Then I don't worry. Although the lady likes the same sex herself, she will never allow you to do so. Then, do you have any other relationship with that Mr. Cameron?"

"Yes, I want to get a coin from him. Tifa, do you think it's worth the risk of getting involved in trouble for a coin that can play a big role?"

The black-haired girl thought for a while, then flicked the broken hair beside her ear:
"Does the 'troublesome thing' you mentioned have anything to do with people like us?"

After all, this is a public place, even if they are talking in private, the two of them are avoiding sensitive words.

"No, ordinary people's business."

"Then it's totally worth it."

said Tifa.

Xia De nodded and stood up, and said in a suitable volume:

"I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back, take care of Mia for me."

"Ok."

The orange cat Mia is not used to this kind of place where there are many people, so she has been lying by Xia De's hand just now.Now that Shad got up, it wanted to follow, but was picked up by Shad and handed to Tifa.

Although the cat is not very familiar with the maid, it is probably because it is comfortable to be held by her, so it just yelled at Xia De aggrievedly, and must follow Xia De if it is not struggling.

Afterwards, Xia De walked out of the auditorium on the third floor very naturally.After politely asking the staff at the door, I went to the public washroom at the corner of this floor.

Of course, Mr. Virgil Cameron was not the only one in the bathroom. When Shad entered the door, Mr. Cameron was drying his hands in front of the sink with the hot air from the steam pipe to remove moisture.

Seeing Xia De coming in, he deliberately took out the cigarette case to show Xia De, and Xia De nodded slightly to express his understanding.

I checked the note in the bathroom, it said—[Is that you? 】

Obviously, the other party was a little confused by Xia De's non-contact.

Shad used the bathroom normally. After leaving the bathroom, he didn't return to the main auditorium immediately, but walked to the smoking room on this floor.Like other formal clubs, the Prophet Association is non-smoking inside, but there are also special smoking rooms for smoking guests.

At the door of the smoking room, Xia De saw Mr. Cameron.

After the two shook hands, Mr. Cameron asked again in a low voice:

"is it you?"

"I think we have to hurry up."

Xia De said with a serious face. Mr. Cameron's eyes widened and he gasped for breath, as if he was about to be unable to breathe. I'm afraid he was really under tremendous pressure:
"is it you?"

he asked again.

"Don't inquire about my identity."

Xia De said with a cold face:
"You just have to do what you gotta do."

He stretched out his hand, and Mr. Cameron nodded quickly while wiping his sweat:

"Yes, you are still professional. I'm almost nervous. You really seem to be here to play cards. But, did you predict that we would all enter the finals? I tried to talk to you alone a few days ago , but always avoided by you."

"Don't inquire so much, it's also for your safety."

Shad issued a warning again, and Mr. Cameron nodded in agreement:
"I understand, I understand. I have seen it in novels, you may be theirs, but you may also be ours, but you may not even know who you are, and you may not be what I see It's you, I thought you were definitely not you. However, you are really powerful, the lady behind you is Grand Duke Galina's personal maid, right?"

While talking, he touched his belt, and then took out a slender pen from the side of his waist, Xia De took it with his eyes closed.

Brass color, about as long as Xia De's middle finger, but only one-third of the thickness:

"The information is inside the pen, but don't open it at will. There is a very thin metal wire inside, and once it is broken, it cannot be restored."

Mr Cameron warned this was supposed to prevent leaks in transit.

"I know."

Xia De replied with a cold face.

"Remember, according to my agreement with you, you cannot reveal my identity to anyone."

Mr. Cameron said what Shad wanted to say, and then he sighed with relief, patted Shad on the shoulder and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Xia De stopped him, and said with sharp eyes:

"We've been here alone for so long, in order not to arouse suspicion, there needs to be an excuse."

"What excuse?"

Mr. Cameron asked, and Shad pretended to think:
"I want to buy those two commemorative coins on your body."

"Huh? Oh, yes, that's a good excuse."

He reached out and handed the two coins in his pocket to Xia De, and when he wanted to leave briskly, Xia De stopped him again:

"I haven't paid the money yet. Our wallets have been checked just now. If it is really checked afterwards and the number of coins is wrong, it will be suspected. How much are these two coins worth?"

"It's really professional. These coins are worthless. A few days ago, I suspected that I was being secretly watched, so I wandered around the city casually. I bought them at the thrift store on the street."

It seems that this is a relic that somehow fell into the hands of ordinary people.

Shade then took out two one-shilling coins and handed them to the other party. Mr. Cameron took it with a smile:

"Thank you."

Virgil Cameron put two shillings in his wallet.

"You're welcome."

Shad Hamilton stuffed coins that could sell for at least double-digit gold pounds as relics, and stuffed them into his pocket together with the real commemorative coin.

"Please allow me to express my respect and gratitude to you again."

Mr. Cameron took Shade's hand and shook it lightly, and then he walked away lightly.If it weren't for the fact that it was a public occasion, he might still be humming a little tune.

Xia De stood still, watching his back disappear, and then looked down at the pen in his hand.
