Chapter 296 You've Seen Blood
When William and the others arrived, there was a young couple in front of the fortune teller's stall getting their horoscopes read. However, getting a horoscope reading required money, one hundred dollars per session. It felt a bit like a scam.
As they got closer, William overheard the fortune teller saying to a young woman who was getting her horoscope read, "Your destiny shows that you won't have children in this lifetime. It seems unlikely that you will become a mother. However, there is a way to resolve this if you're interested."
The young woman asked eagerly, "How can I resolve it then?" Her husband, standing beside her, also had a hopeful expression on his face.
"To know the solution, you'll need to pay an additional one thousand dollars," the fortune teller replied, stroking his beard. He seemed like a swindler, but he also appeared to possess some mysterious abilities, making it hard to decipher.
The young couple exchanged glances, seemingly very concerned about having children. They had been to many hospitals, went through various examinations, and were told that there was no problem with either of them, but they still couldn't conceive. This made them somewhat inclined to believe the fortune teller's words.
Without hesitation, the husband took out one thousand dollars from his wallet and handed it over to the fortune teller. "Please, help us."
The fortune teller immediately accepted the money and said, "You may first adopt a child who has siblings. Once you adopt the child, you will be able to conceive naturally, and the child you give birth to will be the adopted child's sibling."
"Where can we adopt such a child?" The young couple asked eagerly.
"Head southeast. There is a sandwich shop where you will encounter the opportunity. However, remember this, after having your own biological child, do not abandon or send back the adopted child. Otherwise, your own child will lose their life." After saying this, the fortune-teller remained silent, appearing profound.
"Thank you so much!" The young couple expressed their gratitude and left quickly.
The fortune-teller's words sounded dubious, causing William to smirk involuntarily.
After the young couple left, Kylie eagerly took a seat.
"Can you help my niece? She has been having a streak of bad luck lately. Please see when she will turn the fortune around," Kylie spoke while placing a hundred dollars on the table and pulling Sophia to sit down.
"Tell me your zodiac sign and birthdate!" The fortune-teller glanced at Sophia, who was wearing a mask.
Sophia hesitated for a moment and then revealed her personal information.
The fortune-teller concentrated and flipped over tarot cards, while William stood by the side, curious about how the fortune-teller would fabricate lies.
Kylie and Fiona wore expressions filled with anticipation.
"You, miss, have a destined rich life, but you have been lonely since childhood. There will be bloodshed soon, but it can be resolved." The fortune-teller stopped there, intentionally leaving people itching for more.
"How can it be resolved?" This time, it was Sophia asking. Although the fortune-teller only spoke a sentence to her, it captured her true thoughts accurately.
Indeed, she had never lacked anything growing up, but she felt lonely inside. She didn't even have a close friend. Since childhood, she had been instilled with the notion that she was born to marry a fiancé whom she had never met.
"It's simple to resolve if you want to." The fortune-teller had not finished speaking when Kylie placed a thousand dollars directly on the table. She had witnessed what happened with the young couple, so she knew what to do.
"The person who can resolve it is right before your eyes." After collecting the money, the fortune-teller said calmly.
"Right before our eyes?" Sophia was confused, and even Kylie and Fiona didn't understand.
"Where? Be clear about it!" Kylie spoke again, taking out ten thousand dollars from her bag and slamming it on the table.
"Right before your eyes, right in front of you." This time, the fortune-teller didn't accept Kylie's ten thousand dollars but repeated the same sentence.
Everyone was puzzled by his words, but William had some understanding.
The fortune-teller's words referred to someone right in front of their eyes.
He could be the one, but there was no guarantee. He also felt that the fortune teller had a stable aura, indicating that he was highly skilled.
Such a skilled person should be able to discern the abilities of William, Sharon, and Baca.
"Can you help me with a horoscope reading?" William sat down.
Saying that, he took out a hundred dollars and placed it on the table, expressing his confidence.
After taking the money, the fortune teller examined it seriously. After a while, he suddenly frowned and muttered, "The first half of your life was impoverished, but the second half will make you as wealthy as a country!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Kylie even sneered, saying, "This poor guy will be wealthy in the second half of his life? It's truly laughable! I think you're here to cheat us!"
"I think he's a fraud too. I wanted to have a reading, but now I'll pass!" Fiona also mocked the fortune teller when he said William would be incredibly wealthy in the future.
However, William was shocked. It seemed that this fortune teller had some real ability!
Before, he was raised in poverty by his parents, so he was always destitute. But after his parents told him the truth, he discovered that he was actually a rich heir and would inherit the family's fortune. Wouldn't he become as wealthy as a country? The fortune teller was right on the money.
Although William didn't believe in fortune-telling, he thought that it had its value. While he was thinking about it, the fortune teller spoke again.
"But young man, let me warn you. There will be bloodshed soon."
William took out a thousand dollars from his wallet and placed it in front of him. He wanted to see what the fortune teller would come up with.
"Someone wants to kill you. I advise you to stay indoors," the fortune teller remarked after taking the money.
Indeed, there were many people who wanted to kill him, but he believed that with his current strength, it would be difficult for ordinary people to succeed. So he didn't take it too seriously.
"How can I resolve it then?" William asked casually.
"I have a pill here that can save your life when the time comes," The fortune teller said mysteriously as he took out a dark brown pill and handed it to William.
William looked at the dark brown pill and frowned. He couldn't determine if the fortune teller was fooling him or not.
