As the words fell everyone present froze before they scattered and started gambling
Eleri and the others looked at each other before they nodded and also spread out
Eleri arrived at a certain table and the dealer asked [Would you like to play?]
Eleri was hesitant but nodded as she put in 5 coins and the dealer took it as it said [Then let's wait for the other player to arrive]
'The other? Is there another player that has reserved this table?' Eleri thought and stared at the dealer
Suddenly a middle-aged man appeared and stood beside Eleri as he smirked seeing her coins and he put his as he said "I'll put in 10 coins"
Eleri was surprised but then ignored it as she thought 'Arrogant bastard'
Not long after three more players came and gave their bets to the dealer
The dealer nodded as he said [Now that there are two players in total i shall start the game] as he said that a deck of cards appeared at his hands as he shuffled it and gave everyone an even set of cards each
The dealer then explained and said [The game everyone will be playing is a the "Old Maid" card game]
[The rules for this game is simple, the player holding the old maid card at the end of the game loses]
[It's very simple isn't it?] The dealer asked with a chuckle
Neither of us nodded nor denied it but was only silent
The dealer was not satisfied and sighed as he said [Alright, if there's no further question I shall start the game]
The dealer then shuffled the cards as he handed over twelve cards each and separated four cards from the deck as he held it in his hands as he said [When there are no more pairs then both players will pick 2 cards each from this four and whoever is holding the joker which is the old maid in the end of the game loses understand?]
[If there's nothing more, start!]
Eleri looked at her hand and she first pulled out a pair of three's before she pulled out another pair which the middle-aged man also did
___
Not long after they ran out of pairs of cards and the dealer then held the four cards in his hands facing down as he said [Choose your cards]
The middle-aged man sneered as he said "Ladies goes first"
Eleri's lips twitched as she said "Don't mind if I do" then she chose one card which is on the right side as she thought 'There's a 50-50 percent chance that I could lose'
The middle-aged man was also hesitant at first before he chose the one on the left side
It was then Eleri's turn again and she took a deep breath before she remembered something and suddenly her lips curled up into a smile as she thought 'Bingo'
Picking a card on the right she placed it on her cards as the middle-aged man chose the last card
The dealer then spoke and said [Alright now please both players show their cards]
Eleri smiled as she handed over her cards and the dealer and the middle-aged man saw that she did not have the joker
The middle-aged man had a sweat on his forehead as his face turned pale and he said "It can't be" he then looked at his cards and saw the joker in his hand
Seeing this he gritted his teeth and yelled "It's not fair! You cheated!"
Eleri smiled as she said with one eyebrow raised "Oh? How so?"
The middle-aged man couldn't say anything and looked towards the dealer as he said "You know she cheated, right?!"
The dealer shook his head as he said [I did not saw any sign of cheating]
"What-!" The middle-aged man still wanted to refute but saw Eleri grabbing the coins he handed out and he gritted his teeth as he grabbed her wrist and said "I'm not done with you yet-" but before he could even finish his sentence he was thrown to the ground by Eleri
He was dumbfounded as he thought 'What kind of abnormal strength-!'
Eleri hummed as she grabbed the coins and walked away
The dealer stared at her back for a long time before he chuckled and moved on to the next players
"Hey that's not a bad way to cheat"
Kaylus who came out of nowhere said to Eleri as he took a bite at his still whole apple
Eleri smirked as she said "It's not considered cheating if not caught right?"
Kaylus laughed as he said "You have a point"
Eleri indeed did cheated and used Magnus ability which allows her to be able to see through any objects so in this case she was able to see which of the card was the joker
As Eleri and Kaylus were walking they suddenly heard a scream and turned their heads towards the sound to see a man and woman being thrown out from a certain room
Eleri widened her eyes as from the corner of her eyes she saw through the curtain a young man with orange hair and green sharp eyes as he had a fang and bloodlust eyes
The young man screamed as he said "Where's my money?!"
Eleri couldn't say anything but subconsciously thought 'That's the sin of greed…'
'...Mammon'
