The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 238 Beautiful Women Playing Landlord (Seeking Subscriptions at the Beginning of the Month)

Moriarty's eyes lit up.

His fiery gaze swept over the women.

He glanced at the women's figures while counting how many layers of clothing they were wearing.

Diana wore a long dress and transparent high heels, while Hibiscus wore a Lolita dress and white.

Tonks was dressed in sportswear, while Penelope and Gemma were probably wearing five or six different outfits.

Mrs. Malfoy wore the most clothes and had the most voluptuous figure.

It would be best to let Mrs. Malfoy lose a few more rounds.

Moriarty thought to himself with a smile.

"You naughty junior~ What are you looking at like that for!"

Moriarty suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right hand. He turned his head and looked down to see Tonks playfully scolding him, her half-length fingernails already deeply embedded in Moriarty's arm.

"You naughty junior, we're going to play poker, get out!" Tonks said fiercely.

"Nymph, let's talk this out." Moriarty kneaded Tonks' right hand with his left hand, speaking in a rare tone of compromise.

So that I wouldn't feel ashamed to see all the naked women.

"No, you have to go now, okay?"

Tonks blushed quickly as Moriarty held her little hand, and she reluctantly agreed to Moriarty's request.

Lady Malfoy immediately shouted, "Moriarty, you wish! Get out of here!"

Then, turning to Tonks, he said in a tone that was half instructive and half admonitory, "The more eloquent a man is, the less you should let him take advantage of you."

Lady Malfoy is now also starting to be wary of Moriarty.

Whether they are men or boys, there is no one who is not lustful.

Tonks nodded blankly, seeing her mother's shadow in Mrs. Malfoy.

"Auntie's right, Moriarty..." Tonks brandished his fist. "You! Get out now, immediately! And close the door! Don't you dare peek!"

Moriarty raised an eyebrow.

Now you realize that Mrs. Malfoy was your aunt?

But Furong and the other girls shouted.

"right!"

"Get out of here right now!"

"Lock the door!"

Moriarty touched his nose; this was the first time he had ever heard so many dissenting voices.

"Um... there are many poker games, which one do you want to play?"

"Yeah, which one should we play?" Tonks belatedly exclaimed, "Most poker games don't have a six-player version!"

Moriarty chuckled, "I do know a six-player version; I can be the referee..."

"Stop talking, we're not listening. Are you trying to be the referee? Even the teacher is too embarrassed to call you out on it."

Diana gave Moriarty a charmingly disdainful look, then turned to Penelope.

"Since playing poker was Penelope's suggestion, you must have already figured out how to play!"

All the women turned to look at Penelope. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, Moriarty reached out and pinched Diana's shapely buttocks as if in revenge.

Diana felt a sudden shiver run through her body, and she longed to pounce on Moriarty and have a good fight with him.

Penelope then said, "Let's play six-player Dou Dizhu."

The women exclaimed in unison, "Six people playing Dou Dizhu?"

"Yes, I recently made a pen pal from the East. She taught me, and in exchange, I taught her Wizard Chess."

Penelope smiled serenely, but her smile was drowned out by the chatter of the other women.

"pen pal?"

"Or is it the mysterious East?"

"Could he be from Japan?"

What is Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)?

Penelope quickly answered all of their questions.

Moriarty was also taken aback.

The original novel doesn't mention Penelope having an Eastern pen pal.

And she's a female pen pal.

What nationality?

How old are you?

How tall is it?

Does she have a boyfriend?

Is she pretty?

Is she hot?

Ahem, the question has gone a bit off track.

Moriarty shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat unable to resist the advances of the girls.

Fortunately, Penelope gave a brief explanation of the basics of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), including how to play the six-player version.

The women understood.

"Six-player Dou Dizhu - three against three. It requires three decks of cards, a total of 162 cards, 27 cards per player, and no bottom cards," Diana said, conjuring up three decks of cards.

The back of the playing card featured a dynamic landscape of Avalon. Penelope picked it up and looked at it with a longing expression.

Tonks took the cards from Penelope and began shuffling them.

"A non-King card is randomly selected as the face-up card, and the person who gets the face-up card becomes the landlord, right?"

"Yes, and there were two landlords in the open, and two in secret."

"If the other two cards, which have the same rank, suit, and face-up card, are obtained by different players, then those two players are the hidden landlords." Lady Malfoy smiled slightly, indicating that she understood.

"Madam learns very quickly," Penelope complimented, then smiled and said, "Next, I'll explain the card combinations and their rankings."

Moriarty laughed, and then accurately stated all the hand types and their rankings!

The women were astonished and looked at Moriarty with adoration.

"I also have an Eastern pen pal who is a master of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)," Moriarty said, trying to sound mysterious.

The Tonks and the other girls, however, were convinced, having grown accustomed to Moriarty's extensive network of connections.

Even if Moriarty said he knew Merlin, they wouldn't doubt it.

But believe it or not, Moriarty really did know Merlin!

Mrs. Malfoy was somewhat skeptical, but Diana remained unmoved.

"Don't try anything funny. Once we take our clothes off, you'll get a real treat, won't you?"

Moriarty declared righteously, "No, I absolutely did not have such intentions."

"quibble!"

"satyr!"

"You big bad guy!"

"Bad junior~"

The women started shouting and pushing Moriarty until they pushed him out of the bedroom.

Diana blinked and blew Moriarty a kiss before slamming the door shut.

"Bang!"

The wind that blew as the door closed ruffled Moriarty's hair, and he smiled wistfully.

In fact, there were no rifts or sordidness among the women.

Each girl treated others with little malice.

They were all exceptionally beautiful women; any one of them could be a school beauty queen in any school.

Not to mention, there was also the noble Elf Queen Diana.

And Narcissus, the famous Narcissus Lady from the pure-blood family.

However, these top beauties, gathered together because of Moriarty, inevitably felt a little embarrassed.

Let them compete and see who wins, and the three-on-three game mode will inevitably increase the teamwork between teammates.

However, Moriarty also understood that in this kind of game, it's not just about losing clothes, but more about losing face.

Even though they were all women, it was still extremely embarrassing to strip naked in front of the other five people.

Oh dear, they're not going to fight, are they?!

Moriarty quickly leaned against the door.

In the bedroom, the six women sat in a circle.

Clockwise order: Tonks, Mrs. Malfoy, Gemma, Penelope, Diana, Fleur.

Penelope mixed one face-up card into the three decks of cards and stacked them on the bed.

The drawing of cards begins.

Six fair and delicate hands stretched out and retracted, quickly drawing all the cards. Each person had 27 cards, too many to hold in both hands.

"I am a landlord in the Ming Dynasty."

Diana smiled and waved the face-up card in her hand; it was the Ace of Diamonds.

Gemma glanced at it longingly, "What a big hand!" Her hand was relatively small.

Furong frowned; she too had drawn the Ace of Diamonds.

She was also a landowner, and she and Diana were teammates!

Merlin!

Why should I team up with a bad teacher who seduces his own students?

Furong thought indignantly.

Penelope caught her expression.

Thinking back to the bickering between Fleur and Diana, the intelligent and perceptive Penelope immediately understood the key point.

She smiled inwardly, then continued to observe.

There's another hidden landlord.

At this point, Diana played her card.

"One against five".

When it was Furong's turn: "Two 7s."

"A pair of 10s." Thanks to Taylor Tonks, Tonks is also a good card player.

Knowing that Mrs. Malfoy wasn't very good at the game, she deliberately played a low card.

But Mrs. Malfoy did not play by the rules.

"Four fours!"

Tonks' eyes widened: "I played a pair of tens, and you're going to bomb me?"

The women immediately began to suspect Mrs. Malfoy.

Was she a landlord or a peasant?

Penelope, however, was wary. Was Mrs. Malfoy simply clueless, or was she feigning ignorance?

She decided to observe a little longer, when Mrs. Malfoy said to Tonks, "Is it not allowed? Is there a rule against blowing up a pair with a bomb?"

"Okay, okay," Tonks said, pursing his lips.

"That settles it then." Mrs. Malfoy looked around at the women with a haughty air, like a little girl: "Are you all leaving?"

The women shook their heads; apart from novices, no one would dare to pressure Mrs. Malfoy at this moment.

So it was Mrs. Malfoy's turn to play her card.

She glanced quickly at Diana and played a single card: "9".

"Q." Gemma played her card.

"K." Penelope continued down the path.

"Bomb!" Diana's expression turned serious. "Three 8s."
