"Mr. Hamilton's fourth founding series Rhodes card finally appeared!"
Baron Lavender's face was flushed with excitement, and he almost half stood up to look at the cards in Shad's hand. Although he has seen this card in the Prophet Association, his emotions are still uncontrollable:
"If the total points of this card exceed 21 when drawing this card, choose one of the used cards and exchange it with this card. The special effect of the selected card is invalid."
He told the effect of this card, Xia De nodded, and opened the hole card:
"The hole card is the sun 2, so my first three cards are 18 points. Then, I swap the sun 6 in the first game with the flower 3 in the first game, and now it is 21 points."
"Wonderful!"
The Rwandan Baron behind Baron Lavender clapped his hands and said, and the noisy voice had almost transmitted the appearance of [Genesis·Death] to the ears of everyone present. After Xia De obtained [Founding · Death], of course he would not show off this card to everyone in the newspaper, so this is the first time that this card has officially appeared in people's eyes.
The [Original] series of Rhodes cards is the origin of all Rhodes cards in people's cognition, and the meaning it represents is priceless in the eyes of Rhodes players. And the emergence of [Genesis·Death] is more important than the Rhodes card game in Lakeview Manor. Xia De very much believes that at this time tomorrow, every Rhodes player in the city will probably know that he has another card of the [Founding] series in his hand.
"My luck is very good. I found this from an old book some time ago."
Xia De explained softly, and the noisy voice completely suppressed his voice. In this lively atmosphere, Viscount Glenn's eyes widened, and he looked at the cards in Shad's hand in surprise as if his eyeballs flew out, but his face quickly returned to normal:
"Mr. Hamilton, you really live up to your reputation."
"And what about your points?"
"My fourth card is a 3 of stars, and the last three cards are 16 points."
He arranged the three cards together, and then pressed his finger on his hole card.
"Has the card been changed?"
Xia De asked in his heart.
[Yes, when you pick up Vientiane Impermanence·Death and show it to people. 】
Xia De's expression remained unchanged, and then he looked at "Miss Werther". Just now he took a lot of trouble to draw [Initiation·Death], just to create a short moment of people's attention, so that Viscount Glenn, who cheated in the first round, would have time to cheat again.
He knew that the six-ring sorceress must have seen the opponent's tricks, and he was quite sure that with the character displayed by "Miss Pavo" on the rooftop on Saturday night, it was impossible not to do something.
Facts proved that Xia De guessed right. Before Viscount Glenn turned over the hole cards, the sorceress tapped a few times on the table with her fingers.
The imperceptible traces of thaumaturgy affected the table, Xia De still kept smiling and said nothing, and then saw Viscount Glenn flip over his cards:
"What a coincidence, I have 5 points, and the total is 21 points. Knight, although [Genesis·Death] is great, but we are a draw."
He picked up the flipped card and placed it next to his face. He licked his dry lips due to nervousness, and said to Xia De with a smile.
But Viscount Glenn was stunned again, and looked at the hole card in his hand again, with an incredible expression on his face:
"Sun 5?!"
"Sun 5?"
Baron Lavender frowned:
"Are there two Sun 5s in the same deck?"
Viscount Glenn had already drawn a Sun 5 in the first game.
The originally lively crowd also gradually lowered their voices. Cheating in the Rhodes card game is a very serious matter. If it is really judged as cheating by the Prophet Association, it is a trivial matter not to be allowed to participate in any official competitions for ten years. The most important thing is that the face and reputation will never be there again.
"I'm not......"
Before the viscount had time to argue, the card in his hand was judged, and Mr. Justin from the Prophet Association snatched it. The latter found another "Sun 5" from the cards that Viscount Glenn had already used on the table, and asked in a stern tone:
"Viscount, you need to explain."
"No, not me!"
The middle-aged man slapped the table and stood up. He didn't panic, but showed an angry expression:
"Who is it? Who is wronging me?"
What he was supposed to replace, was Moon 5.
Xia De immediately smoothed things over:
"Viscount, don't be so excited, we also want to believe that you didn't take the initiative to cheat."
Hearing the words "actively cheating", Tifa held back a smile and continued to watch this scene.
"Well, let me speak a word of justice. We cannot do wrong to any honest gentleman, gentlemen and ladies, please keep your voice down."
Xia De added some voices, and his status as the "1853 Champion of the Big City Player" was indeed very appealing, and people stopped discussing and looked at Xia De who stood up:
"I heard that the means of cheating is to hide replacement cards in the soles of shoes and hats. Why don't we check whether there are replacement Rhodes cards on Viscount Glenn."
"this is a good idea."
"Miss Witte", who was also a player, immediately spoke softly, while Baron Lavender, the last person at the table, asked:
"Mr. Hamilton, what should be checked?"
"Everyone is a decent person, so you don't have to check your shoes and hats."
Xia De said, looking at Viscount Glenn standing in the light:
"Viscount, how about taking off your coat and handing it to me?"
Viscount Glenn's face changed drastically:
"Playing cards with you is really disgraceful, yes, you are insulting me!"
"Viscount, where do you want to go?"
"My reputation has been insulted. I don't care if I don't participate in this kind of competition!"
He still wanted to break free while talking, but Xia De still pulled his sleeves, persuading him kindly:
"If you go now, your reputation is truly insulted."
"Knight, I command you to let me go!"
The middle-aged man scolded loudly, trying to cover up the panic in his heart with his voice. He wanted to forcefully break free from Xia De's hand, but he felt that the force holding him was stronger than a mountain.
"Viscount Glenn, take off your coat and this matter will be settled."
Xia De said again, and Baron Lavender stood up to stop him. The onlookers could see that something was wrong at this time, and the formed human wall completely blocked the way Viscount Glenn left.
The middle-aged man was startled and panicked, his free left hand wanted to open Xia De's right hand, but he couldn't.
"oh!"
In desperation, Viscount Glenn suddenly punched Xia De in the chest. Amid the exclamation of the people, Xia De's left hand held his fist accurately. As Shad turned his wrist, Viscount Glenn let out an astonishing cry:
"My wrist is about to break, let go."
"Did you forget, Viscount, my main occupation is a detective, do you think you are the first person to cheat at cards in front of me?"
Xia De said a little seriously, and Viscount Glenn looked at him in horror while taking a breath. The onlookers didn't feel that what Xia De did was wrong. Although this was an era of civilization, Xia De still won applause for his sharp self-defense skills.
Xia De continued to ask:
"Viscount, guess when I was in an underground casino, I saw how the people there dealt with cheaters?"
Viscount Glenn seemed to squeeze out a scream from his throat:
"Don't cut off my fingers!"
Xia De didn't know where Viscount Glenn heard this statement from. He shook his head and let go of Viscount Glenn's fist and hand. The viscount wanted to slip back, but the human wall still blocked his way.
Shad took off his coat and threw it to Tifa, and hooked Viscount Glenn:
"Everyone can see that you want to attack me. How about I give you a punch, and then you can leave? According to the regulations, the cheater's card deck must be handed over to his opponent. As long as you agree, I will You don't need your special card."
"I have no opinion!"
Baron Lavender said.
"I have no objection either."
"Miss Werther," said the same.
Viscount Glenn forced himself to be calm:
"I would not do such barbaric things."
There were boos from around, and the people retreated consciously, making room for the two of them under the grape arbor. While Lord's Card is fun, it's just as fun to watch two men boxing under a grape arbor.
"Glenn, you have already lost the honor once, don't lose it a second time!"
Some people even booed, and the Viscount verbally refused, but obviously he was not willing to part with his deck. He raised his arms and made a very professional blocking posture, obviously practiced.
"Please pay attention."
Xia De reminded, stepping forward with both feet. Viscount Glenn also shrank his neck and moved his body, his leather shoes stepping on the ground to create a rhythm.
Both of them were quite well-proportioned in size. Although Viscount Glenn was older, his figure did not look old at all. Instead, he had the vitality of a mature man.
Under the grape arbor, the two circled each other half a circle in the light of the gas lamp. As Shad stretched his head forward suddenly, Viscount Glenn immediately swung his right fist to his chest.
What Xia De was waiting for was this opportunity, he blocked with his left arm, took advantage of the gap in the opponent's defense, and punched out, his right fist hit Viscount Glenn's left eye firmly and accurately. Of course, he pulled back.
"oh!"
Viscount Glenn staggered and fell backwards, but fortunately he was supported so that he didn't really fall. He yelled and covered his left eye, and when he took his hand away, there was an obvious dark circle there.
"Viscount, you can find some ice cubes to compress."
Xia De kindly reminded that people finally gave way. Viscount Glenn's face turned red, and he left along the gap without saying a word. It was obvious that he would not appear again tonight.
He didn't even collect his own deck, so the gentleman who knew Viscount Glenn helped him put it away. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"What is the calculation now?"
The uproar ended, and Shad took his coat from Tifa with a smile and sat down again. He flexed his wrist and asked the referee, Mr. Justin shrugged:
"I will report the matter of Viscount Glenn to the association. As for the game, he is automatically out. Miss Witte, Baron Lavender, please show your points in the second game."
Miss Werther is still at 20, and Baron Lavender is at 17. But people no longer pay attention to the game itself. Some people openly cheated under the referee of the Prophet Association, and even beat people after being exposed. This is already big news. And Shade Hamilton's boxing win was even more surprising than his poker win.
It is common for Xia De to win cards, but two men punching each other at a noble banquet is something that can only be seen a few times a year.
Violence isn't right, but it's an engaging subject. In order to prove himself, Xia De will do many things that he was too lazy to do tonight. After all, for the sake of divinity, all of this is worth it.
He glanced at "Miss Werther" quietly. The conflict with the baron just now was also to tell the other party that he and the baron were equal opponents, so that the sorceress would not have doubts about him. Including showing your own strength, this is really killing two birds with one stone.
【Sun De, don't you really want to punish that guy who cheated? 】
"She" really understands Xia De.
