Chapter 415


    "Why don''t you read your own fortune? Will you be able to get this money?" Larry didn''t bother to hide


    the hostile look in his gaze. The fortune teller was utterly horrified at this point—he could no longer


    conceal his true colors as a scammer. Linda, who was sitting by the side, couldn''t help butugh to


    herself. Is he trying to fake his role as a fortune teller when he can barely contain his own emotions?


    Hah! What a joke.


    "I… I…" The fortune teller couldn''t say anything at all—he stuttered for a century before scrunching his


    face and turning to Hanson. Finally, he had to force himself to speak in the face of Hanson''s stern


    re. "I was a part of the backstage crew in Master Gordon''s troupe 20 years ago. There was this one


    time when I overheard Master Gordon saying that The Great Chemist went into the mountains for his


    practice. When I noticed how all the rich people tended toe over in search of The Great Chemist, I


    came up with this scheme of pretending to be a fortune teller."


    Vania was still mildly surprised after hearing the man''s exnation. While they were on the way to the


    fortune teller''s ce, the two assistants had already researched the fortune teller''s background, and


    they knew that he was a scammer. However, she hadn''t expected him to be able to lie and survive for


    so many years as a fortune teller just after overhearing a single rumor. Vania couldn’t believe that all of


    his past visitors had just blindly trusted him.


    "So, did The Great Chemist really go into the mountains?" Larry felt the need to rify things with the


    fortune teller since he was a scammer. The scammer nodded hastily. "I heard Master Gordon say this


    —I''m not making it up."


    "Well, at least you''re being honest for once." Larry held the gold card up once more. "I want you to be


    honest when you answer my next question. If you give us an honest answer, this card will belong to


    you."


    The fortune teller was too afraid to tell another lie. "I''ll tell you whatever I know," he replied. Money no


    longer mattered at that point—he just wanted to walk away alive. "In what context did you overhear


    Master Gordon saying that The Great Chemist was going to enter the mountains?" Larry asked. The


    fortune teller panicked for a moment, and his gaze turned shifty as he tried his best to recall what


    happened in the past.


    "I want you to think about it properly before answering," Hanson uttered in an icy tone. The fortune


    teller was the most afraid of Hanson. Even though this was their first time meeting one another, the


    fortune teller could tell that Hanson had the power to decide the course of one''s life. "Yes. Yes. I


    remember now." The fortune teller gulped as he felt his throat dry under pressure before answering the


    question. "Back then, there was a woman who came and requested to meet Master Gordon. She


    wanted to ask about The Great Chemist''s whereabouts. Then, Master Gordon told her that she


    shouldn''t bother trying anymore. He told her that The Great Chemist had left into the mountains to


    practice his art and that no one would be able to find him anymore."


    Hanson narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. The fortune teller hastily rified himself. "I''m telling you


    the truth here. I don''t know what they said after that." So, it''s true that The Great Chemist is


    somewhere in the mountains. But why is it that Master Gordon used to agree to meet people, and why


    did he stop doing it? Was there something special about that woman? All sorts of thoughts shed


    across Vania and Hanson''s minds.

    When the fortune teller noticed the confused look on Vania''s face, he parted his lips to exin himself


    further. "There were tons of people who asked to meet Master Gordon in the past, but he only agreed


    to meet that one woman. No one knows why he did so." Even though the fortune teller couldn''t actually


    tell anyone''s fortune, he did have pretty good observation skills. He was eager to resolve all of the


    confusion in Hanson and Vania''s minds so that he could send them off and finally feel some relief. He


    didn''t even care about the money before him. Right then, he was worried that he wouldn''t be able to


    survive—what was the purpose of all that money if he couldn''t live to enjoy it?


    Nevertheless, Larry was a man who kept his word. He threw the card to the fortune teller. "This belongs


    to you now." The fortune teller stared at the card for a long time. Unfortunately, he couldn''t muster the


    courage to pick the card up. "Do you guys have any more questions? I''ll tell you everything that I


    know," he quivered as beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead due to the fear gripping his heart.


    Hanson merely got to his feet without saying anything else in response to the fortune teller''s terrified


    query.
