The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 239 Intense Battle (Please Subscribe at the Beginning of the Month)

The order of play is: Tonks, Madame Malfoy, Gemma, Penelope, Diana, Fleur.

It's Furong's turn.

She shook her head: "I won't go."

Tonks decisively played: "Four Jacks".

A knowing look flashed across the women's eyes.

Tonks is a farmer, that's for sure!

At this moment, whoever hits her is the mastermind behind the scenes!

Furong's grip on the cards tightened and loosened; generally speaking, the hidden landlord wouldn't choose to make a move at this time.

however--

"4 Ks!"

Mrs. Malfoy slammed the four Kings onto the playing deck.

"Do you even know how to play?"

Tonks's lips curled into a sneer as he looked at Mrs. Malfoy with displeasure.

"I won't," Mrs. Malfoy shrugged indifferently.

"Fine, very well." Tonks sneered, turning his body away, too lazy to talk to Mrs. Malfoy.

What aunt?

What family ties?

What Black family woman?

The women had a plan in mind: Gemma must be a farmer.

"I'm not going out," Penelope shook her head.

Diana and Fleur both shook their heads.

"Alright, I'll continue." Mrs. Malfoy considered for a moment, then said, "3."

Why are you only playing single cards?

Diana frowned, clutching a pair of coins, unable to leave.

"I'm not leaving," Diana said expressionlessly.

Mrs. Malfoy should be able to tell, right?

If I don't play single cards, it means I definitely want to play pairs or straights!

But Mrs. Malfoy was oblivious and continued to play single cards after one round.

Diana shook her head in annoyance. Lady Malfoy was such a stupid rookie!

After several rounds, the battle gradually entered a heated phase, and everyone became more cautious in their card play, except for Mrs. Malfoy, who was still playing cards haphazardly.

"Four fours!"

Tonks slammed the cards on the bed; she couldn't stand Mrs. Malfoy anymore.

Who will pay?

"Do you have it?"

"Hurry up!"

Tonks gave Mrs. Malfoy a smug look, then swept his gaze over the other women.

Furong snorted, "Seven nines, I'll bet!"

Penelope immediately realized what was happening.

First, Furong is the secret landlord.

Second, there are only 3 cards left out of 9.

"Fine, you can go." Tonks said indifferently, "Anyway, it's in order, after you leave it'll be my turn."

Furong blinked, only then realizing the problem.

This is card game skill.

Generally speaking, you attack the player below you, not the player above you.

Hibiscus picked up pairs and continued playing cards, and Diana's expression improved somewhat as she followed suit.

"Correct 4."

"Correct 5."

"Correct 9."

"Correct 10."

After one round, Diana played four cards.

So Penelope and Tonks started beating Diana.

After another round, Diana and Fleur both played the Ace of Diamonds. Diana also played two straights, and her hand was almost empty.

Tonks and Penelope exchanged an anxious glance.

According to the rules, if Diana runs out of cards first, the game will end in a draw even if the other two run out of cards right after her.

The situation began to tilt in favor of the "landlords".

The "farmers" all looked at Mrs. Malfoy, wondering when her Ace of Diamonds would come out.

Mrs. Malfoy played her cards calmly and seemingly without any worry.

When it was Diana's turn to play, she proudly drew two cards: "Ace! Who goes?"

The women stared wide-eyed, but no one left.

"She only has one card left!"

Penelope bit her lower lip. Diana had hidden the two kings at the very back. As expected of our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, she knew how to hide them.

"If you don't leave, I'm leaving!" Diana's smiling eyes fell on the three "farmers": "Get ready to take off your clothes!"

Diana raised her last card, and just as she was about to drop it, Lady Malfoy raised her voice: "Wait, I'm leaving."

"You?" Diana said speechlessly, "Why are you leaving? After I play this card, we can remain undefeated!"

"Us?" Mrs. Malfoy chuckled. "I'm afraid you haven't figured out who's in a group with whom."

She picked up six cards and threw them down with a "thud," exclaiming, "Six twos!"

"Damn it!" Diana snapped. "You're a peasant!"

Mrs. Malfoy covered her face with the cards, squinted, and smiled, "What do you think?"

"We all thought you were the last secret landlord!" Tonks said excitedly.

"I've never played the Ace of Diamonds!" Mrs. Malfoy haughtily gathered her cards into her hand, staring at Diana with a satisfied gleam in her eyes.

"Now you only have one card left in your hand, are you going to play?"

Diana's face turned ashen as she said in a low voice, "You did this on purpose! You deliberately pressured Tonks, deliberately played reckless moves, all to make us lower our guard."

All the women could see that Mrs. Malfoy was not a novice at all, but an expert!

Penelope sighed and shook her head slightly. She sensed something was wrong, but couldn't stick to her own thoughts.

Tonks looked at Mrs. Malfoy with newfound respect.

Despite the many gazes directed at her, Madame Malfoy remained composed, except when she glanced down at Diana, her expression condescending.

"I can only say that your skills are not as good as mine. The card table is like a battlefield."

"Okay, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, after all, you're just an elf."

This time, Diana was so angry that she trembled all over. Her face was as cold as ice as she stood up.

The Elf Queen was menacing, so Penelope quickly said, "We agreed beforehand that we wouldn't fight, regardless of who wins or loses."

Mrs. Malfoy sneered, "You only have one card left! It's only a matter of time before you lose the game. You can still fold now."

Diana suddenly revealed a dangerous smile.

"Why should I forfeit? I have another teammate!" Diana sat back down, looking at Gemma expectantly.

The women suddenly realized that if Mrs. Malfoy was the last peasant, then Gemma must be the last secret landlord.

But Gemma sighed slightly, forced a bitter smile, and said, "I won't go out, you can leave."

Diana and Fleur were anxious; they had placed their hopes on Gemma.

Gemma just shook her head.

"Let me speak for her," Mrs. Malfoy said cheerfully. "Gemma said from the beginning that she had a weaker hand, so she couldn't beat mine."

As for you, Diana, from the moment you drew your cards, you fell into my trap!

I know exactly what the value of your last card was.

However, due to the rules, I cannot say it aloud.

Penelope thought about it carefully after hearing this.

So far, 11 9s have been played.

Therefore, Diana's last card should be a 9.

"You planned this from the very beginning!" Fleur looked at Mrs. Malfoy with apprehension.

The latter neither admitted nor denied it, and said with great interest, "Gemma is wearing more clothes, but Fleur and Professor Diana are only wearing two skirts."

"Keep fighting, we will never admit defeat!" Furong said through gritted teeth.

The game continues.

However, as Diana lost control of the game, Lady Malfoy took over and quickly played all her cards.

In addition, Gemma had bad luck, and Fleur was left to fend for herself, while Penelope had also run out of cards.

Tonks was the last to successfully play all his cards, while Diana never managed to get rid of her 9 until the end of the game.

Thus, the peasants won a great victory, and the landlords were completely wiped out!

"Well then..." Lady Malfoy crossed her arms, scrutinizing Diana and the other two women with a critical gaze, and said in a commanding tone, "As we agreed, you may undress!"

Diana stood up, spun around, and her hot figure made several young girls envious.

"Okay, I'll take it off."

Diana smiled slightly, crossed her legs, reached out and took off her transparent crystal high heels, then casually tossed them onto the floor.

A pair of fair and delicate feet were revealed, but Diana didn't feel embarrassed and sat back down in her original seat with ease.

Furong and Gemma followed suit and took off their shoes.

Tonks immediately objected when he saw this.

Hibiscus had white stockings on her feet, and Gemma had yellow socks on her feet.

Tonks was utterly disappointed: "What? Taking off your shoes doesn't count!"

"Why doesn't it count!" Hibiscus wrinkled her little nose. "Hmph, aren't shoes clothes too?"

"But I'm wearing slippers. Don't I know I need to change my shoes before going inside?"

"Is it my fault?"

"Alright! Let's start the next round."

Diana gave a shout, grabbed three decks of cards, and hurriedly shuffled them.

Lady Malfoy smiled demurely. "You want revenge? Fine, come on then."

But the second game took Mrs. Malfoy by surprise.

As if blaming Mrs. Malfoy for hiding her true intentions too well, the women coordinated perfectly to target Mrs. Malfoy from the very beginning of the game!
