Soon, a veteran soldier stood out and spoke on behalf of all the comrades, "Your performance can’t just be a sham, it has to be approved by all of us!"
Flossie Wright shrugged her shoulders, nonchalantly agreeing.
"Can you actually do it?"
Becca Reyes climbed onto her shoulder right after she agreed, asking with particular caution.
These people were obviously serious when it came to Flossie’s turn; others might get through by just pretending, but it probably wouldn’t be that simple with Flossie.
If she couldn’t satisfy them, who knows what they might ask Flossie to do.
"Why can’t I?"
Flossie raised an eyebrow at her.
Becca Reyes looked at her with a perplexed expression.
Just look at that confidence, that attitude...
What’s the use of her worrying?
"Alright, let’s go."
Austin Shepherd waved, signaling Flossie to come in for the "performance".
Flossie walked over without any hint of fear.
Quickly, everyone returned to their previous positions, forming a circle in the middle.
Most people were focused on Flossie’s actions.
Especially Rowdy Brightwill.
His gaze was fixed tightly on Flossie.
At some point, Becca Reyes ended up sitting next to Belinda Nichols. As they watched Flossie, Becca couldn’t help but feel nervous and unconsciously grabbed Belinda’s hand.
Belinda gave her a warning look, but seeing that she didn’t even notice, she just slightly furrowed her brow without any other action.
As for the others, they were mostly just onlookers.
They were there for a bit of fun—laugh a little if they see something interesting, or munch on some snacks if they’re bored; it would only be a short while anyway.
"What’s the act?"
As the impromptu host, Austin Shepherd dutifully asked.
After pondering with a frown, Flossie raised her eyes to look at the people around her and slowly said, "Sleight of hand."
Austin Shepherd raised his eyebrows.
Not just him, but the others were also inevitably surprised.
Sleight of hand?
Performing that?
They had all braced for the worst, thinking they might just have to listen to Flossie play a nursery rhyme on the erhu. At least that would count as having tricked Flossie.
Uh, what’s this?
How will the performance play out?
Smiling with her eyes narrowed, Flossie extended her hand towards Austin Shepherd. Her palm slid down from his shoulder, and as she lifted her hand again, several playing cards slid out from between her fingertips.
Watching her warily, Austin Shepherd instinctively took a step back.
Her sleight of hand was too quick.
"I need a partner."
Flossie played with the cards in her hand, looking at the others.
No sooner had her words fallen when someone shouted—
"Rowdy Brightwill!"
Following the voices supporting Rowdy Brightwill, several more people raised their hands.
One by one, they all showed anticipation for Flossie’s "magic" and were eager to try.
It wasn’t that they particularly wanted to support Flossie; they were just curious to see if they could spot her slip-ups.
Magic, eh? That sounds fun!
"Who can dance the tango?"
Flossie raised her eyebrows and asked the crowd.
Becca Reyes was the first to raise her hand.
"Becca Reyes won’t do; what if you become her accomplice?" The first to express doubt was Nancy Phillips.
She looked intently at Flossie and Becca Reyes with careful scrutiny.
