Benedict carried an air of elegance, a gentle smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "My mentor excelled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so I grew up learning all of them."

Lindsay nodded in understanding. "That explains it."

"Your rank as a mystic must be quite high. From your appearance, I can’t discern anything, which suggests your abilities are likely stronger than mine."

Though her words were partly meant to probe, much of it was also the truth.

His appearance seemed unguarded, yet she couldn’t read him at all. She could only make out the most basic of details, while the crucial aspects remained hidden from her. This led her to believe that his abilities might surpass her own.

What she could discern was that Benedict had no familial ties with Olivia or the others, meaning he wasn’t related to them.

Lindsay had a vague sense that he had possibly reached the highest level of divination mastery—transcendence, where one's abilities merge with the universe itself. His

    Lindsay smiled and said, "I never expected us to have this kind of connection.""That seal... it wasn’t a gift from my mentor to you, was it?"Benedict's eyes gleamed with amusement. "You’re as sharp as ever, Lindsay. I’ve met with your mentor three times in total. During our last meeting, he handed me the seal, but when I reached for it, it slipped from my hand and fell to the ground, a sign that it wasn’t meant for me."So, I returned it to him, but he didn’t take it back. Instead, he told me to hold onto it and give it to the person it was destined for."He continued, "Three years ago, I left it at that shop, never imagining it would make its way to you. It seems fate really had a hand in this."Lindsay chuckled. "Is that so? Quite the coincidence, then."Her smile deepened. "Though I have to wonder if you left the seal there knowing I was the one destined to find it."Benedict paused briefly, then laughed softly. "If you want to think of it that way, you’re welcome to."Changing th

    Benedict noticed the frustration in Alex and Justin’s expressions, his eyebrows raising slightly. His gaze shifted to Lindsay, who was walking ahead, chatting and laughing with Elric. He couldn’t help but observe how different she seemed with Elric—there was a certain glow of joy around her. Then he glanced at Elric, whose gaze was fixed on Lindsay as if he couldn’t stand to be anywhere else. It was obvious—he was completely taken with her, practically clinging to her like he wanted to be a permanent fixture at her side. It was clear Elric’s feelings for Lindsay went far beyond simple friendship.After they entered the private room, Elric excused himself to go back and finish cleaning. Outside, Brandon looked irritated, clearly annoyed that neither Lindsay nor Alex had acknowledged him when they walked in. Lindsay, already unimpressed with him, said nothing, but Alex ignoring him stung a little more. Olivia, meanwhile, silently wiped down a table, her frustration evident in her e

    Lindsay asked again, "Is there anything around here where we can make some money? Like a competition or something?"Since Benedict knew Goodwill City well, he answered without hesitation, "The day after tomorrow, there’s a polo match that tourists can join. The top three teams win silver.""In Goodwill City, silver and gold are accepted as currency along with cash. Silver can be used at any shop, or if it’s more convenient, it can be exchanged for cash at the local bank."He added, "In fact, many tourists exchange their cash for silver, saying it makes them feel more connected to the city’s atmosphere. Personally, I prefer using gold and silver over cash."Lindsay smiled. "That’s interesting.""Do any of you know how to play? Maybe we could form a team and give it a shot?" Polo was a sport where players on horseback used mallets to hit a ball. She had enjoyed the game in the past and had been quite skilled at it.Benedict replied, "I know how to play. The teams here are made up of six

    Tracy knew how to play polo. However, Joshua, Leslie, and George didn’t. But the three of them eagerly expressed that they would cheer for the team.Benedict smiled and said, “Perfect, we have six people, so we can form a team. If we push for first place, based on the exchange rate from the bank, we could win a prize of six thousand dollars. That way, our three groups would each get two thousand dollars.”Lindsay smiled and said, “Then let’s work hard for first place.”Though playing on the same team as Olivia and Brandon was a bit awkward, it was a great opportunity to test things out. She also had a feeling they were being led by Benedict. To uncover his intentions, sometimes it was necessary to take risks.Everyone ordered a dish. As they ate, they chatted about the interesting things they saw in the ancient city that day. Lindsay shared some stories she overheard while doing makeup for others about fun things in the city.As she spoke, she kept an eye on Benedict. She noticed t

    Benedict moved quickly, beating Justin to the seat on Lindsay's right.Alex and Justin exchanged a glance and thought, “These two jerks."With no other option, they were about to take the two empty seats next to Benedict. Neither wanted to sit with Elric. Just as they were about to move, Olivia quickly slipped in beside Benedict. Brandon, as usual, sat next to her.Now, Alex and Justin wanted to distance themselves from those two even more. Reluctantly, they sat in the empty seats next to Elric, only to be met with a disdainful look from him.Alex couldn't hold back and asked, "Shouldn’t you be sitting with your own group?"Elric raised an eyebrow and replied bluntly, "This is none of your business. I just want to sit next to Lindsay. Got a problem with that?"Alex was at a loss for words. "Yeah, I do. I think we should all sit with our own groups."If he could sit next to Lindsay, he might be able to copy Elric’s flattering moves, like pouring her tea or something.Elric scoffed. "Doe

    Alex and Justin were so frustrated by Brandon’s mocking that they didn’t even want to respond anymore. Alex quickly changed the topic.Suddenly remembering something, he asked, “Mr. Scott, our mystic here, is taking us to the night market later. What if we see something we want to buy?”Their phones had been taken away, meaning they had no money to make purchases. The others chimed in, “Yeah, what do we do if we want to buy something?”Everyone turned their gaze to Charles, who was sitting in the corner. After a moment of thought, Charles suggested, “Here’s an idea—I’ll take my assistant with us, and if you find something you like, the show will cover it for now. After the show ends, you can pay us back.”Giving their phones back wasn’t an option. Lindsay smiled. “That works. Thank you in advance, Charles.”Charles waved it off. “No trouble at all.”He was curious about the night market too. After Benedict had mentioned it earlier, he'd had his assistant investigate. The findings r

    Benedict nodded. "That’s always been my starting price for readings."Brandon hesitated for a moment. "And if I wanted you to fix it, how much would that cost?"Benedict replied, "Depends on what it is, but it won’t be less than one million."Anything under one million dollars wasn’t worth his time. At his level, money had long since lost its appeal. Many wealthy people came to him with bags of cash, but it all depended on his mood—most of the time, he turned them down. The only reason he was entertaining this now was because of the show, and since Brandon had asked, he figured he’d play along.Hearing the price, Brandon thought it was steep but became more convinced that Benedict had real talent. After all, Lindsay had sold charms to his brother Oliver for one million dollars each. The funny thing was, even when he tried to buy one for the same price, she wouldn’t sell it to him...So, he said to Benedict, "No problem. I’ll pay you after the show. Help me take a look."Benedict's g

    Olivia knew she had to step in and explain herself. If she didn’t, the others might start fearing her, worried she’d "borrow" their luck as well. She also didn’t want Brandon to realize she’d known all along that by borrowing his luck, he would suffer misfortune. More importantly, she didn’t want Elric or Benedict to misunderstand her.Alex, watching Olivia’s surprised act, thought to himself, “She’s really good at this. No wonder she’s trying to break into the entertainment industry. It’s a shame to waste talent like that. But who knows if anyone else believes her? I sure don’t. No way she didn’t know Brandon would get unlucky after lending her his luck.”Elric, clearly unconvinced, said, "Your explanation just makes it sound like you're trying to cover up. You’re feeling guilty, which is why you’re rushing to explain yourself."Lindsay, who had been about to say something, stayed silent. Elric had already voiced what she was thinking.Olivia was speechless.“Why is it always Elric

    In the vibrant district of the historic town, the streets were lined with vintage boutiques and various artisan stalls. Lindsay's group visited the town’s administration office and rented a temporary booth.Alex and Justin eagerly borrowed a table and chairs, setting up the booth. Following Lindsay's instructions, they also bought a piece of white fabric and worked together to create a simple sign. The production team provided markers and other supplies.Lindsay glanced over at Benedict and said, "Benedict, I’ll let you handle writing the banner."She was eager to observe his writing and the energy he gave off while doing it.Benedict sighed inwardly—this girl was constantly trying to test him. After a moment’s thought, he nodded. "Alright, I’ll write it."He grabbed a marker, uncapped it, and wrote in bold letters across the white fabric: “Fortune Telling, Divination, and Tarot Readings.”Lindsay watched him closely, noticing the fluidity of his movements as he wrote, his posture exud

    Justin added, "My mom’s been trying to get me to help Olivia and distance myself from Lindsay. She’s also said plenty of nasty things about Lindsay. This time, not only did I ignore her, but I even pushed back. It probably pissed her off, and now she’s taking it out on Lindsay."Alex, clearly upset, said, "You should talk to her and tell her to stop fixating on Lindsay. Lindsay hasn’t done anything to provoke her. It’s ridiculous."He was frustrated that Justin’s mom had been stirring up trouble, making Grace even more difficult to deal with.Justin nodded. "Alright, after the show is over, I’ll have a talk with her."He also felt his mom was acting out of line. Back when he liked Lindsay, her disapproval at least made sense. But now that Lindsay had kicked him to the curb, his mom’s continued obsession was baffling.Although they were speaking softly, Lindsay and Benedict, walking ahead, heard every word.Lindsay found the situation with Abby baffling as well. A woman who fawned over

    After Lindsay left, the other guests quickly followed, leaving only Alex standing there awkwardly. He spoke briefly to the production staff, and they soon shifted the cameras away from that area. Alex then walked over to Grace, saying, "Mom, since Lindsay won’t lend it, let’s just drop it."Grace shot him a cold glare, her expression dark. "How can you be so heartless? The one lying in bed is your fourth brother. Are you hanging around Lindsay all the time just to learn how to be cold and ruthless?"Unable to contain her frustration toward Lindsay, Grace directed it at Alex instead.Alex sighed in exasperation. "Even if we need help, it has to be something she’s willing to do! We’ve wronged Lindsay enough as it is, so why do you keep trying to guilt-trip her? Brandon’s situation isn’t Lindsay’s fault. Why don’t you go find Olivia? She’s the one who caused all this, maybe she can fix it. After all, whoever’s behind her is no easy target."Right now, all Alex felt toward Lindsay was gui

    Grace held back her anger and said, "It'll only take a few minutes. I have something important to discuss with you."Lindsay sat back down in her seat. "Fine, go ahead."The livestream was on, and Lindsay was fully aware of it—she was doing this on purpose.Grace was about to speak when her assistant whispered something in her ear. Her expression changed, and she subtly shifted her body to turn away from the camera.Then she looked at Lindsay. "Can we talk outside?"In her rush to find Lindsay, she had almost forgotten that this was a live-streamed variety show. She didn’t want to be on camera, much less discuss such personal matters in front of an audience.Lindsay, however, refused. "If it's important, say it here. If not, then don’t say anything."Grace’s expression darkened. "It’s because it’s important that we need to talk privately."She emphasized, "It’s not appropriate in front of the camera."Lindsay just smiled. "Unless it's something shady, what’s wrong with saying it on cam

    Lindsay thought about it for a while and figured that if Grace was coming to find her, it was probably for Brandon. The only thing she could want would be the artifact in her possession.Alex saw her reply and couldn’t help but smile wryly. His sister was indeed sharp and saw right through it.He sent a voice message, repeating what the head of the Divination Association had told them. "Mom just wants to borrow the artifact from you to suppress Brandon’s condition."Lindsay replied, "Tell her not to waste her energy."Seeing that message, Alex knew right away that she wouldn’t lend it out. It didn’t surprise him—his sister could be ruthless when she wanted to be."We can’t convince her otherwise, not even Dad can stop her... sigh," Alex added. When their mom’s temper flared, she wouldn’t listen to anyone.Lindsay didn’t seem to care. "Then let her come. I’m not going to do her any favors."Alex recalled the conversation between their parents at the hospital and decided to warn her, "M

    Recently, Grace had been spending more time with Abby, often meeting up for outings. Over time, Richard noticed that Grace's anger towards their biological daughter had deepened. Abby had always disliked Lindsay and showed more favoritism towards Olivia. She must have been stirring up trouble and egging Grace on whenever they met. With time, Grace was bound to be influenced.Grace, clearly annoyed, said, "You even want to control who I make friends with? Aren't you going too far? What's wrong with me getting along with Mrs. Ford and spending more time with her?"Richard felt cornered. "I just think there's something off about her. Her intentions in getting close to you don't seem good. That's why I'm trying to give you a heads-up."Grace didn't believe him at all. "I think you're overthinking it. We’ve always had a decent relationship. We’re just closer now, that’s all.""What do you men know about women’s matters? Don't interfere." She now had plenty to talk about with Abby. Jenny wa

    Richard glanced at Grace with clear disapproval. “This whole mess was caused by Olivia and Brandon. What does any of it have to do with Lindsay?”He could tell that recent events, and the embarrassment caused by their sons, had left his wife feeling bitter. It seemed she had begun to project that frustration onto Lindsay, despite the situation having little to do with her.Grace crossed her arms defensively. “If it wasn’t for her ongoing fight with Olivia, Brandon wouldn’t have gotten involved. He’s her brother. Doesn’t she owe him some consideration now that he’s in this condition?”Richard frowned. “What exactly are you trying to say?”Valarie, who had been quietly listening, finally spoke up, her displeasure clear. “I see it differently. It’s Olivia and your son who started the trouble, and all Lindsay did was defend herself. Are you really looking to embarrass yourselves even more?”Grace shifted uncomfortably, feeling the sting of her mother-in-law’s words. “I’m just thinking abou

    Given the Harper family's persistence, there was no way the Divination Association could avoid a thorough investigation. Seeing that Randolph wouldn’t back down, the official left, courteously escorted out by Randolph, who, for the moment, had ceased his protests.Valarie carefully placed the multicolored stone inside a small protective pouch before securing it around Brandon's neck. Though he felt a slight relief after putting it on, the bad luck continued. As the official had warned, his misfortune was too severe for one artifact to fully contain.Randolph tried every connection he had, attempting to borrow a second artifact, but came up empty-handed. Time slipped by, and evening approached before they could find any further solutions.By the time Richard and Grace arrived at the hospital, they were met with the weary faces of their parents. Feeling guilty for everything his father had gone through, Richard bowed his head. "Dad, Mom, I'm so sorry you had to go through this today."

    Hearing their words, the hope that had briefly flickered in Brandon’s eyes quickly faded, leaving him more devastated than before. "Grandfather, I know I was wrong," he muttered, finally realizing the truth. His foster sister had been nothing but trouble—far from trustworthy, she had been a constant source of harm. Meanwhile, his real sister, though harsh and distant, had proven to be far more reliable. Regret gnawed at him deeply.Randolph sighed, his voice heavy with disappointment. “Knowing you’re wrong doesn’t change anything. It’s too late now.”Turning back to the two mystics, Randolph asked, “If you can’t break the curse directly, could you at least help suppress his misfortune? Maybe with a protective charm or some kind of mystical object?”Despite his frustration with his grandson’s foolishness, he couldn’t just leave him to suffer.Both mystics exchanged uneasy glances. “We don’t have the ability to suppress his bad luck with charms.”“For something like that, you’d need t
