Trafford’s Trading Club

Mrs. Eve, who lives on the top floor of the west tower, has her own servant, a young and beautiful girl named Bella.

At this time, Mrs. Eve had just come back from outside, and the servant opened the door of the room for her. Mrs. Eve said casually: "Bella, I want to take a bath, go and prepare some rose petals for me. "

"Okay ma'am." Bella left respectfully.

The room was very luxuriously decorated, and Mrs. Eve slowly walked into the dressing table and sat down. With gentle movements, she took out a small, flat box from her bag and opened it.

It was the folded handkerchief.

Mrs. Eve slowly picked up the handkerchief, and the folded handkerchief suddenly opened up. The pure white handkerchief was stained with a little blood, like plum blossoms.

Mrs. Eve suddenly grabbed the handkerchief with both hands, brought it to her nose, and took a deep breath with a look of intoxication on her face.

After a long time, Mrs. Eve put down her hand, breathed out slowly, and then sighed again. Mrs. Eve folded the handkerchief again, put it back into the small box, and then put it in the drawer of the dressing table.

Mrs. Eve looked at herself in the mirror. She found that the ends of her hair seemed a little messy, and she arranged them carefully and even trimmed her eyebrows.

Soon after, Mrs. Eve stood up, walked to the window, and took out a 40-centimeter-sized, delicate box from the bedside cabinet.

She pressed the ring she was wearing into a groove in the box, and after turning it a little, she heard something seemed to be opening, and the lock on the box naturally unlocked.

Mrs. Eve opened the box, and inside was an equally exquisite crystal bottle... The bottle contained a dark red, almost black liquid... But the liquid only filled less than half of the crystal bottle.

Mrs. Eve put her hand on the stopper of the crystal bottle and held it like this, but did not pull out the stopper for a long time. She shook her head, then put the crystal bottle back into the delicate box and locked it again.

At this time, the maid Bella knocked on the door outside the room, "Madam, the petals are ready."

Mrs. Eve put away the box, stood up, swung her dress, and opened the door to the room.

Bella only saw a flash of purple appearing in front of her, and she looked a little dazed... Madam, Madam, no matter when she looked at her, she was so beautiful, as if there was no change from when she came to her five years ago.

Lady Eve is a legendary woman with many outstanding lovers in the British social circle.

"Bella, do I look good?"

"It's beautiful. Madam, you are the prettiest." Bella's eyes were intoxicated.

Mrs. Eve smiled and asked again: "Is she more beautiful than the woman holding the cat in the study?"

"Yes, she's also prettier than her." Bella's voice gradually became calmer, without any ups and downs.

At this time, Mrs. Eve stretched out her hand to touch Bella's cheek, touching Bella's youthful and compact skin, then slowly lowered her hand, and finally took Bella's hand and gently pulled her into the room, "Come, Please change my clothes."

The heavy wooden door was slowly closed at this time, and it seemed that only the clear and silvery bell-like laughter could be heard vaguely.

…

squeak!

The door hinge seemed to need some pine oil, Ouyang Jie thought, and then took Zhong Luoyue into the study room in the middle of the room, the study room of Tu Shenyi, the God of Gamblers.

Before Ouyang Jie and Zhong Luoyue came in, Tu Shenyi was already here and changed his clothes. Except for the strange appearance with the white half-mask, there is an air of elegance about him.

They had just returned from the grape fields outside.

Tu Shenyi directly called Ouyang Jie and Zhong Luoyue to sit down at the desk, "Tell me, you said you have something you want to discuss with me, what is it?"

Ouyang Jie said bluntly at this time: "Master, let me introduce something to you again. This Miss Zhong Luoyue Zhong is currently the boss of the Four Seasons Group and the owner of the Four Seasons Casino. This time, she wants to see you .”

Tu Shenyi then glanced at Zhong Luoyue.

Zhong Luoyue said seriously: "Mr. Tu, I wonder if you are willing to come back to the world?"

Tu Shenyi didn't seem too surprised by Zhong Luoyue's intention. After hearing this, he said calmly: "Well, it's good to go straight to the point without beating around the bush. But since you have successfully recruited Ajie, and he has already done it for you I won last year’s competition, why do you still come to invite me?”

Zhong Luoyue said calmly: "Because I don't want to see the day when I meet Mr. Tu at the gambling table. Mr. Tu, you should know that no one wants to lose, and there is even a possibility of losing."

"I have already washed my hands in a golden basin." Tu Shenyi shook his head: "Now is the world of young people. Ajie has learned all my skills, and I have also taught him all the gambling skills I know. I The era of Ajie has passed, but Ajie’s era has just begun. He is still young and will have the ability to create better skills than me in the future."

When Tu Shenyi said this, he smiled and said: "Miss Zhong has carved a world for her family in the gambling world at a young age. She should be a brave person who is not inferior to women. Why can't she figure this out?"

"It's a very simple question. I hope Mr. Tu can answer me." Zhong Luoyue suddenly asked at this time.

Tu Shenyi made a gesture of invitation.

Zhong Luoyue said: "If you had a bet with Ajie now, who would win?"

Ouyang Jie looked at Zhong Luoyue for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face... Obviously, he had never thought that Zhong Luoyue would directly ask such a pointed question.

Between the master and the disciple who has learned the skills of the master, who is better?

Ouyang Jie looked at his master Tu Shenyi again... Can I beat my master now? He even asked himself this question subconsciously.

Tu Shenyi shook his head: "I have already said that I have long since washed my hands and stopped interfering in the gambling industry. Even if it is Ajie, I will not gamble again. Miss Zhong, I know what you are worried about, but I can also promise you that there is no one like the God of Gamblers Tu Shenyi in this world, there is just a guy hiding in this small vineyard, drunk and dreaming."

After saying that, Tu Shenyi stood up directly, "It's getting late, I'm going to the wine cellar to prepare. If Miss Zhong is also interested in the wine I brew, she might as well come to our wine tasting party."

Tu Shenyi walked towards the door of the study.

At this moment, Zhong Luoyue suddenly said: "Mr. Tu, please stay... I wonder what Mr. Tu thinks of the wealth of my Zhong family?"

"The peak of the family is nothing more than this." Tu Shenyi said calmly.

"I can promise you anything." Zhong Luoyue stood up and said, "I promise you everything the Zhong family can do."

"Time." Tu Shenyi suddenly turned his head and glanced, "At least, you can't promise me time."

"time?"

"Or the lost time." Tu Shenyi nodded: "Even if you collect all the wealth in the world, you can't buy back a second that has passed."

Zhong Luoyue frowned, "Isn't there something that can impress Mr. Tu? Yes, we really can't fulfill your request, but I'm afraid no one in the world can do it... Mr. Tu , I hope you can think about it carefully, because I do come with utmost sincerity."

Ouyang Jie said quickly at this time: "Master, Miss Zhong did come here with sincerity. She came here in person and escaped a disaster before reaching the manor. Now her people are still lying in the hospital."

"Please do it." Tu Shenyi waved his hand, indifferent, and left directly.

…

Ouyang Jie sat down frustrated, but Zhong Luoyue did not sit down. He saw that there was no angry expression on the woman's face, but he didn't know what she was thinking.

Ouyang Jie thought for a while and then broke the silence and said: "Actually, this is fine. Master has even rejected me, so it is impossible to agree to others. At least, we can't get it, and no one else wants to get it...except for me. Master, I am confident that no one can win me."

Zhong Luoyue said coldly: "Didn't you lose to a layman not long ago?"

Ouyang Jie was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "What we bet on that time was luck, and there was no technical content at all. I lost. I can only say that my luck was not as good as his, and it was not a problem with my skills."

Zhong Luoyue was noncommittal and looked at an oil painting hanging on the wall of the study room.

In the oil painting, a woman is holding a white fluffy cat, sitting quietly on the edge of the window... Zhong Luoyue couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a beautiful woman, who is she?"

"Kalian." Ouyang Jie also looked at the oil painting, seeming to be lost in memories, and finally said: "Her name is Kallen. I don't know the specific name, because even this name was given by my master. What I heard from his mouth was the name he occasionally pronounced when he was drunk, and I only knew it."

"She...is your master's wife?" Zhong Luoyue said seriously.

Ouyang Jie shook his head: "My master has always been single, and everyone in the manor knows it. Even Mrs. Eve can only be said to be master's confidante. I feel that Mrs. Eve has a little interest in my master, but Or maybe it’s just because of Mrs. Eve’s romantic nature.”

"So, you have never seen this woman named Kallen." Zhong Luoyue nodded.

Ouyang Jie blinked his eyes and asked rather roguely: "I used to look at this oil painting every day, doesn't it count as seeing it before?"

But Zhong Luoyue didn't roll her eyes at him, which made Ouyang Jie a little disappointed. She just said: "Let's go."

Ouyang Jie was startled, and walked two fingers in front of Zhong Luoyue's eyes, "You mean, you're going back now?"

"No, it's a rare occasion. Although I haven't received your master's consent yet, it would be nice to at least experience the legendary 'Wangyou' series." Zhong Luoyue took out a crystal ball with embedded numbers from his pocket and looked at it. Said: "Didn't you say that a lucky person will be born?"

"Yes, you do like drinking red wine." Ouyang Jie smiled, then bent his arms, "Then let's go."

Zhong Luoyue finally rolled her eyes at him.

…

…

Perhaps for young talents, coming here will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even those young and beautiful girls are a rare platform.

But Luo Qiu doesn't like to socialize, except for his guests.

Therefore, he could not take the initiative to contact anyone in this most suitable place for communication.

Then, it seems that the only way to pass the time is to admire the various decorations in the manor castle or the oil paintings hanging on the walls.

For example, Luo Qiu stopped in front of an oil painting.

The oil painting hanging on the wall is very large. It depicts a male noble. Judging from the blur of the painting, it seems to have some history.

I don’t know why Master Qiu is so fascinated when looking at this painting... Gan Hong feels that such portrait paintings are very ordinary, more because she has learned various useful things that can bring her survival. Skills, appreciating oil paintings, this kind of thing is a complete waste of time for the children in the village.

"His name is Baron Fernandez."

A young man came slowly from behind. Luo Qiu turned around and took a look. This young man was very handsome, with his hands casually inserted into the pockets of his trousers, and a cynical smile on his face.

Blonde, with beautiful eyes.

"Baron Fernandez?" Luo Qiu repeated the name.

The handsome man walked into Luo Qiu's side, raised his head, looked at the portrait on the painting, nodded and said: "He is the original owner of this manor castle. Of course, I am talking about two hundred years ago. "

Luo Qiu nodded and looked at the self-portrait of Baron Fernandez again. The handsome young man suddenly said: "There is actually a legend about this Baron Fernandez."

As he said this, the handsome man suddenly looked towards Luo Qiu and said, "Legend has it that this Baron Fernandez is a monster who lives on blood."

"Living on blood." Luo Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, I tend to think of such people as vampires."

"Yes." The handsome man smiled charmingly, "People usually imagine this, but the rumors have not been confirmed. But one thing is true, and that is that Baron Fernandez cannot When the sun shines on his skin, he will feel pain. This is something everyone in Baron Fernandez's family knows. They keep this secret, but for some reason, this secret is eventually revealed. People outside know it. You know, people's fear of the unknown can sometimes destroy many things."

"What happened to Baron Fernandez?" Luo Qiu asked curiously.

The handsome man turned and looked out the window, then stretched out his finger and pointed at a tall tower in the castle outside the window, and said: "That is the tallest building in the east wing. Baron Fernandez was hung by the people of his territory at that time. Above it, exposed to direct sunlight. It is said that he moaned in pain for a whole day and finally died."

Luo Qiu took a look... That was the tallest tower on the east side, so opposite it was the tall tower on the west side, which seemed to be where Mrs. Eve once said she lived.

The handsome man walked in front of Luo Qiu at this time, slightly taller than Luo Qiu, "Why, don't you believe it?"

Luo Qiu couldn't deny it, but asked: "Do you believe it?"

The handsome man came closer and whispered: "I believe it, and I believe you will believe it too."

"Why?"

"Because I can't hear your heartbeat."
