What! Our family is actually the descendant of the evil god?
Chapter 518 The Calm Before the Storm
Seeing this, Eros smiled and stretched out his hand to push 56 pence of the 3 shillings and 56 pence he had just won in front of Vivian.
Vivian was not polite and happily took the pennies pushed by Eros.
Then she counted them one by one in front of her, looking like a little money-grubber.
Because the curse was lifted, she no longer had to worry about accidentally losing the money in her hands.
If she forgot about the huge debt, how wonderful life would be now.
Glancing at Vivian, who was a little cute in contrast, Eros turned his eyes to the pile of waste cards on the table, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Under David's nervous gaze, he found all the cards in David's hand one by one.
As an unrelated Eros, how could David's little action just now be hidden from him... Barbara in his mind.
After finding the last card and putting it in front of David, David smiled embarrassedly a few times.
As soon as Peter saw David's expression, he knew that there was nothing wrong with the cards Conan had found.
So, he took a look at the cards on the table, casually turned his own cards over on the table, and said in a faint tone:
"Give me the money!"
Seeing Peter like this, Eros also turned his cards over on the table, and smiled at David and said:
"Don't forget mine!"
Knowing that he couldn't fool him anymore, David had to painfully spit out all the money he won, along with part of the principal in his pocket.
Reaching out to take the 2 shillings and 10 pence that David handed over with reluctance, Eros then gave the 10 pence change to Vivian beside him.
Vivian took the 10 pence with a happy face, and then praised happily:
"You are such a good person!"
Hearing this, Eros paused for a moment while cutting the cards, and then chuckled:
"Thank you, Ms. Vivian, for your compliment."
You really don't say it, when I was playing cards and dividing the money with Vivian, I really felt like I was feeding a small pet.
Vivian at this time was completely different from the cold and ruthless queen during the battle.
It was really an extreme contrast.
The next few people played cards for a while, and Eros, who could directly see the size of the other party's cards, naturally returned with a full load.
In addition to him, Vivian, who had always received money, was also full of joy.
Only Peter and David, the two losers, were full of sorrow.
Their half-day salary was gone just like that.
"No, no, let's stop here today." Peter threw the cards in his hand on the table and muttered.
Seeing this, David on the other side also threw away his cards and agreed:
"We have to go out for night patrol, so let's stop here tonight."
As they said that, the two of them hurriedly got up, put on the raincoat beside them, and ran out of the office.
Seeing them like this, Vivian leaned forward, embedded the edge of the table into her soft chest, and then she reached out to turn over the cards that Peter and David threw 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 tricks, probably because they know they are going to lose, so they deliberately find excuses."
If they run away, she will lose a share of the dividends, how can Vivian be willing to accept this.
The big winner Eros smiled slightly, and said calmly in a gentle tone:
"It doesn't matter, we have won enough."
Hearing Eros' words, Vivian praised sincerely:
"You are really good at playing cards!"
Eros smiled modestly: "Luck, luck, this is all the favor of the Lord."
In the soul space, Barbara curled her lips, and a little disgust appeared in her beautiful eyes.
It was obvious that she was asked to cooperate with him to cheat, but she still talked about luck, bah! Men are really pigs.
Withdrawing his eyes from Vivian's chest that was deformed by the edge of the table without leaving a trace, Eros reached out and put away the cards on the table.
Then he stood up and smiled at Vivian beside him and said:
"It's time for us to go on night patrol."
Vivian nodded slightly, and the expression on her face instantly converged, and in the blink of an eye she turned into the cold and beautiful fighting nun.
If Eros hadn't clearly remembered Vivian's pet-like expression just now, he would probably have thought that he was dazzled and had an illusion.
After laughing and shaking his head, Eros took out his raincoat and put it on, and walked into the sticky, wet rain outside the door.
That night, Haidaram was noisy, because there were many ordinary people holding tools on every street.
Some of them were dredging the drains on the streets, and some were cleaning the water that overflowed into their yards.
But without exception, they were all complaining about the bad weather.
This heavy rain that lasted for several days affected too many things.
Some factories stopped working and workers were forced to rest at home.
And once those workers lost their source of income, they could only use their meager savings to buy food.
At present, the time is still short, and the price of rye bread has not risen much, only the prices of some fish and vegetables have risen more.
Fortunately, this does not 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 wants the rain to continue.
Ordinary people feel sorry for their already small savings. Factory owners feel sorry for the losses caused by one more day of suspension of work.
During the inspection tonight, Eros has heard more than once that ordinary people, with their shivering voices, prayed devoutly to the gods who looked down on the world.
In Eros's vision, the power of faith generated tonight is particularly 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 coming 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 would happen next, I would really think that there were no cultists in Haidaram now."
"Since the incident with the Mist Cult that night, Haidaram has been too quiet and too normal."
Eros thought about it, organized his words, and then chuckled:
"It's like... the calm before the storm."
After hearing Eros's words, Peter was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands fiercely and said:
"Yes! That's the feeling."
"Ever since I knew that something big would happen next, I always feel that the normality now is actually the calm before the storm."
"If I catch those damn cultists, I will have to stuff my leather boots into their asses."
