“We’ve been married for eight years. We’ve always wanted a child, but we just couldn’t get one,” he said.“We’ve been to every major hospital in Wolsing and Mordu, but we couldn’t find anything…”“A relative told us that it might be because of our lack of energy.”“We need a geomancy expert to help us!”“We heard that Fortune Hall is the oldest place in Golden Sands.”“The owner here is also an impressive geomancy expert.”“Please! Help us take a look!”“We really need a child! Please!”His beautiful wife finally spoke up.“Don’t worry, honey.”“I heard that Fortune Hall’s been passed down to nine different generations. There used to be a prince who couldn’t make a baby during the Whip Dynasty, but he immediately dealt with the problem after consulting with Fortune Hall!”“They can handle everything!”“They won’t disappoint us!”Harvey frowned. Even though the couple spoke highly of Fortune Hall, they were actually planning to put all the blame on the place.Other than de
The customers all looked at each other. They were only here because they were told about Fortune Hall’s impressive feats.They didn’t think that Harvey would actually be this impatient.It was bad enough that he couldn’t solve the problem, but he even told the customers to leave without hesitation.People started to gossip, looking at Harvey with distrust and disdain.Castiel was confused as well.“What are you doing, Master York? Even if we can’t help, we shouldn’t just chase the customers out.”Harvey glared at Castiel. “You’re a little too inexperienced. Today, you need to copy everything from the Centennial Book ten times.”He then took a sip of tea to quench his thirst.“Are you sure you don’t want to leave now?”“It’ll be bad for you if we stay on topic.”The husband glared coldly at Harvey after hearing those words.“What’s the meaning of this?”“Who in the right mind would do business like this?!”“Customers are always right!”“I’ll report you to the housing depar
‘A man?’‘Unable to reproduce?’The crowd froze, then stopped dialing.The couple were stunned. They looked at Harvey with puzzled expressions.“How dare you slander us, you b*stard?!”The husband came to his senses soon after.“My wife’s such a beautiful woman, but you’re calling her a man?”“This is a huge offense!”“I’ll destroy your entire store right now!”“Will you now?”Harvey smiled and slapped the couple to the ground again.“You gave me all the information of a man, then you ask me why he’s unable to give birth?”“And then you demand me to solve the problem?”“Do you think the Centennial Book is just for show?”“Do you think I couldn’t tell?”“You should’ve just said you could give birth instead! I’ll even look for a good date for you!”Harvey kicked the so-called woman to the ground before pulling her scarf away.An Adam’s apple could be seen on him. There was simply no need for an explanation.The crowd went completely speechless.“He is a man! That b*s
Castiel revealed a look of realization.“I see…”“Are we just going to let this slide?”“They came here to cause us trouble! Won’t we seem like easy targets if we just let them be?”“There’s no need,” Harvey replied.“We should give them a chance. After all, it’s only proper to hold back a little.”“Besides, their broken arms must cost a lot of money to fix.”“If they know what’s best for them, they won’t cause us any more trouble after this.”“Of course, if they still have a death wish, I wouldn’t mind playing along either.”“I see!”Castiel nodded. He learned quite a lot just by knowing how Harvey worked.Harvey sipped his tea; he guessed that the couple probably came to test him on Evermore’s behalf. Thus, he didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention.The next few days were smooth sailing for Fortune Hall. The only difference was the increase in customers.A lot of people came all the way here after seeing the news.Harvey didn’t hold anything back when solving the
Harvey quickly drew a talisman with some cinnabar, and lit it up. Then, he dunked it in a bowl of water.He handed the bowl to Aston with a smile.“Here. You might get diarrhea after drinking this, but this should be enough to cleanse your evil energy.”“Drink more water and get some rest. You should be back to normal tomorrow.”“Of course. Thank you, Master York. I’ll…”Aston’s body shivered, and blood started coming out of his eyes. He held his stomach tightly, pointing at Harvey as he trembled.He then slammed to the ground soon after.“W-What did you feed me, you b*stard?”White foam escaped around his mouth, and he stopped breathing. He was no different than a corpse.“Aaah!”The other customers gasped, stumbling back in fear.The women were screaming, frightened. They couldn’t believe their eyes—a man who was still alive a few minutes ago suddenly died!“What’s going on here?”“Is he really dead?!”As soon as someone spoke up, Fortune Hall immediately went dead si
The customers who had come to Fortune Hall quickly stepped back in horror.Cliff, Luca, and the rest came after getting word of the situation. They immediately frowned after seeing the dead Aston.It’d be easy to deal with the situation: just compensate with money.It wouldn’t be tough for Harvey to get out of the situation unscathed, either.However, Fortune Hall’s reputation would be ruined forever.After hearing the news, Leona was on the verge of tears.She wasn’t worried about Fortune Hall. Rather, she was afraid that Harvey would have no choice but to stop being a geomancy expert and leave the place.Castiel regained his calm and approached Harvey.“I can’t feel a pulse, Master York…”“What do we do now?”Castiel shivered after saying those words. He didn’t know what to do, since it was his first time dealing with such a situation.“I got this.”Harvey stepped out and squinted at Aston’s forehead. He looked amused.“This is pretty troublesome, Sir York,” the doctor s
Harvey didn’t care about the ruckus, nor did he pay attention to the screaming crowd. He calmly sent a text before finally speaking up.“You’re an interesting bunch.”“You didn’t even bat an eye at Aston and you’re already screaming at me, claiming that he’s already dead.”“Shouldn’t you be calling an ambulance instead?”“Besides, he’s only been dead for five minutes. Nobody has contacted anyone yet, and you people are already here with steel bats?”“You must’ve known he was going to die, right?”Castiel’s phone vibrated. After seeing the text on his screen, he left without making a sound.“Bullsh*t!”The middle-aged woman had no intention to speak reason with Harvey. She looked furious.“You killed him, and now you’re putting the blame on us?!”“Are you still human?”The others revealed righteous expressions and started screaming as well.“That’s right! Everyone saw him dying after you fed him something!”“How dare you push the blame after all that?”“More importantly, h
The middle-aged woman raised her head and looked around her arrogantly.Harvey kept smiling.“I don’t like the conditions, though.”“How about this? I’ll resurrect your dad right now.”The woman froze when she heard those words.“What do you mean by that?”The other customers were stunned as well.Castiel pinched his nose, a bowl in hand. A rancid smell wafted in the air as soon as he walked inside the hall.The woman’s face turned ugly. “What are you doing?”“Your dad’s dead. I have a concoction that I made myself for resurrections.”Harvey pinched his nose as he spoke.“I swear in my name…”“That once he drinks this, he’ll revive faster than the speed of light!”“If not, I’ll shut this place down and give you your money—no, 1.5 million just isn’t enough! I’ll pay you fifteen million!”Harvey took a few steps back.“Feed him, Castiel.”Castiel was speechless. He grit his teeth and he took off the lid from the bowl.A foul smell filled in the air.Nobody knew where
