Harvey bowed respectfully, but Reece didn’t even bat an eye at him. The man showed no emotion whatsoever.“I’m not asking for a different price. A hundred and fifty million, take it or leave it.”“Well? Do you want it or not?!”Harvey’s eyes turned cold after hearing Reece’s harsh tone. Reece was probably making it harder for him on purpose.Kairi’s beautiful eyes narrowed for a split second. Then, she smiled. “We’re businessmen, Master Foley. We uphold our promises.”“Honesty wins all, after all.”“But if I remember correctly, the price we agreed upon before was fifteen million.”“Why has it increased tenfold?”“Besides, I know you’ve invited an expert to estimate the price of this place.”“At most, it only costs 12.1 million dollars. It’d also be hard for you to sell it to the right person.”“I already gave you enough respect when I agreed with fifteen million.”“Aren’t you being a little unreasonable for raising the price after we’ve sealed the deal?”Naturally, Kairi
“He’s afraid I’d turn out to be a con man who’ll use Fortune Hall’s name to scam people.”“That’s why he’s trying to scare me with that price.”“If I give him the money, it’ll mean I have no need to scam people since I’m already rich. He’ll be rest assured.”“If I can’t, but I can save his granddaughter, then that’ll mean my geomancy arts are decent. He wouldn’t worry about me using Fortune Hall’s name to do whatever I want.”“In any case, Master Foley’s just being considerate. We should understand him.”“After all, people like him have a bottom line. He wouldn’t do all this just for the sake of money.”Harvey smiled at Reece.The customers there revealed looks of realization upon hearing Harvey’s words.‘No wonder Master Foley changed his attitude all of a sudden. So that’s why!’Kairi nodded, then smiled.Naturally, she was willing to trust Reece’s character.“You’re good at reading minds, kid. That said, you still need to show me real geomancy arts.”“If you’re only good
Reece frowned after hearing Harvey’s words. He wanted to hear what else Harvey had to say.Harvey smiled at the woman.“You should be careful of what you’re wearing next time.”“You’ll have a difficult time if you wear your shirt backwards. It’ll make it harder for you to breathe! You won’t have a good time sleeping at night, either.”“If you keep that in mind, maybe you won’t need forty-nine days to get better sleep.”“Of course, you still need to eat eggs every day.”Everyone froze, then looked at the woman. They all broke into amused smiles soon after.As Harvey had pointed out, the woman’s shirt was worn backwards. It was only natural she’d find it hard to breathe and sleep.Reece became a lot more curious about Harvey. After handing the talisman to the woman, the second customer walked in.This time, it was an eighty-year-old man with messy hair and a gloomy expression. A foul stench could be smelled on him. All who got close to him were completely disgusted.Reece frown
As Harvey went on talking, the customers’ problems were constantly getting solved.Everyone quickly surrounded him, hoping that they would get their turn.Reece, who they completely trusted, was cast aside.Harvey was very fast. Right after listening to the customers’ troubles, he would immediately point out the root causes and ways to fix them.After having their problems dealt with, every single one of the customers left with shocked expressions. More importantly, Harvey would occasionally scribble all sorts of talismans for the customers during the process.People quickly sent word, saying that there was a genius at Fortune Hall.Many elderly women whose daughters weren’t able to get married for many years came for Harvey’s help.Even if there were problems Harvey couldn’t deal with on the spot, he could still give suggestions for the customers to try and use to fix their problems themselves.This was the appearance of a true geomancy expert.All the while, Reece had been
Fortune Hall’s front yard and backyard were connected by a long corridor.Beautiful ponds with fish and flowers could be seen on both sides.The place seemed quite old, but it gave great aesthetic pleasure. Rivers, bridges, gazebos, and artificial mountains filled the entire place.The hot air around seemed to have become a lot more refreshing when the wind blew past. It was quite a comfortable feeling.And in the centermost gazebo, a woman without makeup was sitting there in a white dress and a casual ponytail.She pressed a compass in her hands every once in a while, as if she was calculating something.Many bamboo slips were placed around her. They were all hand-carved, so she could feel the words written on them.Even without eyesight and body strength, her graceful aura could still be felt.Harvey couldn’t help but find her impressive.There had been many beautiful women who were into plastic surgery recently, since it was quite popular…As such, women with poetic charm
“He’s buying this place without money?”Leona froze; she was completely stunned.“What are you saying, Grandfather?”Reece then told Leona everything that had happened.Leona was a smart woman, but she still had her doubts about Harvey.She couldn’t see Harvey’s face, but she could tell that he was a young man judging from his voice and aura.‘A young man like him is better than my grandfather at geomancy?’‘What a joke!’That said, Leona knew Reece wouldn’t acknowledge Harvey if he wasn’t actually capable of anything.A doubtful expression settled on her face.Harvey reached out to her with a small smile. “Hello. I’m Harvey.”Leona politely returned his greeting.“Pleased to meet you, Harvey. Thank you for coming here for me.”“That said, please don’t feel pressured at all. I’m fully prepared.”“I was the one who leaked God’s plans. I deserve this.”Naturally, Leona understood her condition well.“Is that what you think?”Harvey chuckled.“Don’t worry. This is noth
Kairi and the others looked over as well, and saw a group of people walk in from the corridor.Harvey saw a man in a robe leading them. The man was a little skinny; he had quite a handsome face, but he looked arrogant and conceited.At a closer glance, he looked similar to Rodney.The young man nodded after seeing Reece.“Hello, Master Foley.”Even when he was greeting Reece respectfully, the arrogant look on his face remained.“Did you get someone from Aeon Hall here?”Reece narrowed his eyes and studied the young man before him.“Are you Master Foster’s grandchild, Castiel?”Castiel smiled.“You have a good memory, sir. I didn’t think you’d remember me after we met only once many years ago.”Harley smiled.“Castiel’s a good friend of mine, Uncle.”“In Golden Sands, his geomancy arts are second to none!”“More importantly, his studies have skyrocketed recently.”“I put a great deal of effort into getting him to come here!”Harley turned to Leona. “You should let Yo
Harvey couldn’t be bothered to deal with Harley after seeing her shifting all the blame to him.Harley didn’t give up, though; she was dead set on chasing Harvey out of the front door.Reece quickly stepped in front of her.“Calm down, Harley! Don’t do anything stupid!”Leona smiled.“I’ll be fine, Harley.”“You think?!”“If I didn’t get here in time, you would’ve been dead by now!”Harley screamed in anger and broke free from Reece before rushing toward Harvey, prepared to slap him in the face.“I’m not done with you after last time, you b*stard!”“You ruined my brother’s business, and now, you’re here to hurt my cousin?!”“I want you dead!”Slap!Before Harvey could take action, Kairi suddenly took a step forward and swung the back of her palm across Harley’s face.“Do you want to die? How dare you disrespect Sir York like that?!”Harley froze after seeing and hearing Kairi’s attitude and tone.Naturally, she knew who Kairi was.Her attention had been completely on H
