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,
“Master York?”“Repay the favor?”The middle-aged man squinted at Harvey, smirking coldly. “You’re not even old enough, and you’re here to challenge our master?”“Who gave you the courage?”Harvey sized up the man, and saw something black on his forehead.“Interesting,” he said curiously. “What kind of business do you people do here? Why is a graverobber like you serving customers?”The man’s expression changed instantly; he was scared witless after hearing those words.“Wh…What do you mean by that?”“I’m warning you, kid! You better not spout nonsense!”“I’ll sue you if you do!”The man talked big, but he looked awful. Naturally, Harvey managed to touch a nerve.“If I’m guessing correctly, you found a huge tomb of a landlord from the Whip Dynasty. You planned to dig everything up and sell them for money.”“But evil energy filled the air as soon as you did. You got scared and ran out of the place.”“Your luck has been very bad recently. You tried to solve it yourself, bu
“August 16th is a blessed date, suitable for marriages,” she continued. “This…”Her expression changed, and she quickly made a few calls.Then, she looked admiringly at Harvey. “You’re the true geomancy expert here, Master York!”“I asked a few other people. They all said the same thing you did!”Her son’s wedding was very important to her. At first, she planned to ask a few geomancy experts about it.Yet, she was recommended such a horrible date on her first meeting.Hearing those words, the customers glared disdainfully at the young man.‘This guy’s just a con man…’‘Doesn’t he know that experienced people will question the dates?’“Thank you, Master York! I didn’t bring a lot of money, but please take this.”The woman was clearly wealthy. She quickly pulled out two fat stacks of cash and handed it to Harvey before kicking the young man to the ground.The young man didn’t have the courage to crawl up or scream in pain; he wanted to hide himself in a hole so badly.“How
The customers nodded after hearing Harvey’s words. It was impressive how he pointed out the geomancy expert’s problems with just a single glance.“It’d be easy for Waylon to deal with your problem,” Harvey said.“But do you know why he didn’t tell you?”“He’s waiting for you to enter a forbidden relationship with him.”Everyone burst out laughing when they heard that. Harvey was probably right.Waylon’s actions made it clear that he was a heinous man.The geomancy expert thought of something, and shivered.“Can I really fix my problem after I deal with my mole, Master York?” she asked after a moment’s hesitation.“Not just that, you’ll find your true love the next time,” Harvey replied calmly.The geomancy expert bowed gratefully. Then, she threw her robe to the ground and walked out of Volton Hall. She was finally reborn.The disciples of Volton Hall exchanged glances.‘This was disrespectful!’‘This was insane!’Not only did Harvey casually defeat the disciples, but he
Waylon’s eyes were red; he gritted his teeth furiously, as if he wanted to bite Harvey to death.Harvey looked at Waylon, not wanting to waste his time.“Fine. I’ll oblige.”“I respect my elders, so you can decide how we fight.”The customers were excited.Geomancy experts were usually secretive people.In the past, ordinary people couldn’t even come close to their sacred teachings.Waylon grinned. Upon hearing Harvey’s words, he was sure he already had the upper hand.“Since we’re talking about a challenge, we’ll have to make it quick!” he said, staring smugly at Harvey. “Fundamentals are boring to watch. It’d be meaningless to compete that way.”“We’ll compete with Curse Talismans!”“There are two wolfhounds in the backyard. We’ll each choose one, then curse the other!”“Whoever kills the other’s dog wins! Do you dare?”Waylon glared proudly at Harvey, as if he had already won.He knew Harvey was skilled in geomancy. Usually, geomancy arts were based on saving people
Nobody tried to stop the battle; they wanted to experience it for themselves.Castiel’s face lost all color.“Master York…” he said instinctively.Harvey glanced at him, signaling for him to stay calm. Then, Harvey looked back at Waylon.“What?” he taunted.“Are you scared?”Waylon’s eyes twitched frantically. He was confident he could take out Harvey, but he still hesitated since his life was in Harvey’s hands as well.“If you are, just say that,” Harvey said.“I can make it easier for you.”“If you admit defeat, I’ll remove the curse for you.”“I don’t need you to remove mine, though. If I die, then consider me unlucky.”“Will you agree now?”Waylon’s expression was horrible. If he declined the challenge, his reputation as Golden Sands’ geomancy expert would be tarnished.Waylon gritted his teeth, then slammed the table with his fists.“Fine! If that’s what you want, then so be it!”“I’ll draw up my talismans in front of everyone here. Everyone will know that I’m Golde
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew in the hall.The entire place immediately felt colder.Many shivered in fear, and looked at Waylon.‘As expected from a geomancy expert!’Harvey remained calm, crossing his arms in a relaxed way despite being the target of the evil curse. “Interesting,” he said curiously, taking a step closer to Waylon. “Techniques from Country H, the Island Nations, and the South Sea. I didn’t think you’d be able to combine all of these so flawlessly.”“Though, you’re going a little too overboard.”“Not only are you trying to take my life, but you’re also trying to bind my heavenly soul to serve you for all eternity.”“Huh?”The people around were confused to hear Harvey’s words.None of them had experienced such a thing, but there had been few TV series that would talk about it.Such techniques were utterly heinous…And yet, Waylon used it all on a young man.“He’s ruthless!”“He’s actually trying to kill Master York!”“Master York’s an impressiv
