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
“Blargh!”Right as the medicine entered Aston’s mouth, his body shook. He opened his eyes in panic, struggling to spit everything out of his mouth.“What?!”The people around him screamed in fear and stumbled back. They all looked as if they had seen a ghost.None of them thought that a dead person could actually be revived this way.Cliff and the others looked puzzled. “This is life-saving stuff here, old man! You need to drink it all up to prevent yourself from getting cursed again,” Harvey said. He pressed his foot on Anton, stopping Anton from struggling. He watched as the foul medicine went right into Anton’s mouth.The people were disgusted. They wanted to scream, but they couldn’t. Even the middle-aged woman and her men couldn’t do anything about the situation.Soon, Anton swallowed all the medicine. Harvey moved his leg away.“Go wash up now, Castiel,” he said. “You’re disgusting.”“Get Maren to clean up here too.”“Don’t forget, this costs fifteen dollars.”Cast
Aston and the others’ expressions were horrible.They were in disbelief; they didn’t think Harvey could tell they were using a talisman to fake Aston’s death.The best way to counter that talisman was something filthy. Pig swill was naturally the best medicine.Cliff and the others waved their hands, smirking coldly. Many workers rushed forward, clutching steel bats.Before, they felt guilty because they thought they had killed someone. Now that they had regained their moral high ground, they wanted to retaliate.The rest of the customers finally understood the situation.Aston and his relatives were here to make trouble!Not only did Harvey see through their geomancy arts, but he humiliated them in public as well. After realizing they had been completely fooled by these shameless people, the customers stood on the benches with a righteous look.“You think you can just cause trouble in the Fortune Hall, you b*stards?”“You scared the sh*t out of me! Do you think you can leav
“Look into this. See if Aston visited Volton Hall before. If he did, find a way to bail him out,” Harvey said.Cliff appeared again when Harvey finished his third pot of tea.“Sir York, he did go to Volton Hall before coming to our place. When he came out of there, he seemed to have become a different person.”“I bought off one of the workers there, and I’ve confirmed that the actors were all from the same place.”“The Volton Hall is involved!”“After they failed to cause us trouble last time, they embarrassed themselves and ran out of business. They had no choice but to rely on free services to attract customers.”“They were hoping to shut down Fortune Hall for good this time.”“What a shame. You’ve outmatched them! Volton Hall will definitely suffer.”Castiel bit into an apple, his face filled with admiration.“We shouldn’t have gone easy on them last time, Master York!”“Who’s the owner of Volton Hall?” Harvey asked. “A man from the underworld. His name is Waylon Sacket,
