Chapter 198 Deck Stars



As he spoke, Boss Bock took a deck of fifty-three cards from the counter and handed it to Cassandra with great pride.

Cassandra took the cards in her hand and examined them carefully. She found that Boss Bock's skills were indeed good. Not only was each card made according to her requirements, but on the back of each card, Boss Bock also engraved exquisite starry sky patterns. After counting carefully, there were exactly fifty-three stars.

While Cassandra was checking each card, Bos Bock was excitedly explaining to Cassandra all the functions of the deck. He even danced with joy uncontrollably when he got excited.

After Boss Bock finished his story, Cassandra asked casually, "How many people have seen this deck of cards? Have you shown this deck of cards to anyone else?"

Hearing Cassandra's words, Bos Bock did not think much about it. He just showed a shy expression on his face and answered:

"I was just about to discuss this with you. I want to ask Miss Cassandra, do you want to use this deck of cards right away? If not, can you let me display it here for a week to enhance the reputation of my shop?"

"But don't worry, Miss Cassandra. Before this, I have never shown this deck of cards to anyone without your permission. I still have some professional ethics!"

After hearing Boss Bock's answer, Cassandra heaved a sigh of relief, then put away the playing cards in her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Boss Bock, I need this deck of cards urgently, so I can't lend it to you to show you!"

After hearing Cassandra's answer, Bos Bock looked at Cassandra reluctantly as she put away her hard work, but still waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's your right, Miss Cassandra! It's the opportunity you gave me that allowed me to create this great work, and I'm very grateful!"

Cassandra smiled indifferently, but spoke again to confirm:

"Mr. Boss Bok, you really didn't show this set of playing cards to anyone else? And you didn't tell anyone that I asked you to make this set of playing cards?"

Bos Bock replied with certainty: "Don't worry, Miss Cassandra. I haven't even told my wife about this. In fact, I didn't have time to tell anyone else. I have been eating and sleeping in the store for the past few days."

"While making this card, I became more and more excited, and wanted to make it perfect. So it took me longer than I expected. I didn't finish it until late last night!"

After hearing Boss Bock's answer, Cassandra finally felt relieved and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Boss Bock. Please don't think I'm being long-winded. This deck of cards is too important and cannot be sloppy. I need to keep it absolutely confidential. That's why I wore a black veil when I first walked into your store."

After hearing Cassandra's explanation, Bos Bock waved his hands indifferently and said:

"Of course, Miss Cassandra, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will keep this secret and will not reveal it to anyone else. No one will know that you asked me to make this set of playing cards!"

Hearing Boss Bock's promise, Cassandra just smiled faintly and said:

"Bos Bok, do you know who can keep a complete secret?"

Hearing Cassandra's question suddenly, Boss Bock was stunned, and then made a thoughtful expression.

But unfortunately, Cassandra, who was well prepared, was much faster than Boss Bork. Before Boss Bork had fully pulled out his wand, Cassandra's wand had already been aimed at Boss Bork.

"Expelliarmus!"

A disarming spell instantly knocked Bosch Burke's wand away. Looking at the wand that was pointing at him, Bosch Burke stood still and said bitterly, "Miss Cassandra, you don't have to do this. Really, I won't tell anyone about this! I swear on my last name!"

Cassandra remained unmoved and said:

"What's your last name? I remember that Mr. Boss Burke said that the Burke family had already removed you from the family tree. Also, you were really too slow in taking out your wand."

Long before today arrived, Cassandra had already made up her mind to completely silence Boss Bock, the only person outside the secret party who knew about this deck of cards and also the maker of this deck of cards!

First, it was to keep it secret. More importantly, Cassandra was worried that the other party would leave some hidden tricks on the poker cards that she didn't know about! Therefore, Cassandra did not return to Hogwarts this week, under the pretext of taking care of her father. Cassandra only did one thing this week - learning spells.

But the name of that spell is Avada Kedavra!

Facing Cassandra's ridicule, Boss Burke could only smile bitterly and responded: "I haven't used my wand in battle for a long time since I graduated from Hogwarts..."

Hearing Boss Bock's answer, Cassandra said with a smile on her face: "So, the wizards in the magical world have been living in peace for too long, and it's too boring. We need to add something new!"

Bos Bock naturally didn't know what Cassandra meant. He just moved his finger slightly, pointed to the room behind him, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Cassandra, before you do anything, can I make one last small request?"

Hearing this, Cassandra was stunned, but before Cassandra could answer, Bos Bock continued:

"There are still some gold Galleons left in the drawer in the back room. If you want to take them, I can't refuse. But considering that I worked so hard to make this set of magic playing cards for you, can you leave some for me and pass them on to my wife?"

"My wife just gave birth to a son for me, and he's only one month old. Now my wife can't go out to work and has no income. They need this money to survive!"

After hearing what Boss Bock said, Cassandra couldn't help but remain silent. After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the front part of Cassandra's wand shone brightly!
