Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Solomon: I feel so too. Otherwise, Merlin would not be so cocky.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: This great me does not believe I can’t find a suitable method by spending a few tens of thousands of points. I’ll deal with Merlin today. Merlin, just you wait. I’m going to the association’s store to find something to summon you now.

Magus of Flowers: …

I Have a Strong Presence: She got angry.

Queen of Ice and Snow: She did get angry.

Iron Fist Teacher: Merlin is in trouble this time.

Umaru-chan: Is this how a powerhouse thinks? Spending tens of thousands of points on a whim?

Queen of Ice and Snow: Everyone is different. I earned 30,000 points in a day while in a fit of rage.

Iron Fist Teacher: In reality, earning a few tens of thousands of points is just a day’s effort for powerhouses if they choose the right missions. This is why powerhouses have plenty to spare.

“Hey! Fortuneteller! You told that person not to go downtown in the next few days, right?” Swire successfully latched on to the important information that Chen Heng leaked earlier.

“Did I say that? You must have heard wrong. I can guarantee it on the reputation of my stall.”

“Does your fortunetelling stall have any reputation to speak of?” Ch’en had seen how Chen Heng toyed with the youth in the palm of his hand, so she did not trust Chen Heng when he guaranteed it on the reputation of his stall.

“Of course not.”

“…”

“You don’t look like someone who lacks money. Why do you need so much LMD?”

“Miss Swire, this is where you are wrong. Although you think I look rich, I do not have much LMD. However, I urgently need them, so I can only search for a gullible prodigal.”

“So, you were waiting for me to appear?” When the bad-tempered Ch’en heard the words “gullible prodigal,” she immediately placed her right hand on her sword’s hilt.

I am always the one treating Swire as a gullible prodigal. No one can treat me as a gullible prodigal.

“Hey! Madam Ch’en, please calm down. I did not call you a gullible prodigal. I was only thinking that I would meet someone rich after setting up a stall here for a few days, definitely not referring to you. Furthermore, didn’t I provide some intel to you? Intel concerning the future?”

Chen Heng did not worry about Ch’en not paying up, only that Ch’en would not have that much money. However, now that she had pulled Swire in, he felt confident.

As a qualified researcher, Chen Heng did not doubt the wealth of Swire, the filthy rich lady of Lungmen.

“Furthermore, I have to make this clear first. Even if you give me 1,800,000 LMD, I will not tell you everything, just prod you in the right direction and tell you how to solve it. Leaking the heavenly secrets is a very severe matter—the more important an issue, the more severe the backlash when divined. Minor issues like the ones earlier would not affect me. However, this is different. This affects more than half of Lungmen’s population.”

“Tell me, then. This great me does not lack money.” The filthy rich Swire indicated that this bit of money was just like tossing water out to her.

“Alright, pay up first. I’m going to say this first: I only take cash.”

“How am I going to get 1,800,000 LMD in cash?” While the rich Swire thought little 1,800,000 LMD, no one would have that much cash on hand.

“I don’t care. I don’t take credit cards. I can’t receive the money even if you want to transfer it to me. It’s fine. I can wait.”

“Damn! Wait here. I’ll call someone to bring the money over.” With Chen Heng holding the initiative, Swire could only call someone to deliver the money.

Ten minutes later, another sports car drove into the park. As it was already dark, there were few pedestrians, so the car quickly arrived before Chen Heng’s stall.

“Fortuneteller, here is 1,800,000 LMD in cash. Now that you have the money, you can tell us about the matter that will affect more than half of Lungmen’s population, right?”

“Of course.” Chen Heng did not bother counting the money before sliding the two suitcases filled with LMD under the table.

This caused Ch’en to glance below the table again.

“Alright, alright, stop looking. Let’s move on to proper business. First is the event. The problem originates from Talulah. You know about the recent Reunion Movement attack on Chernobog, right?”

“I do.”

“Good that you do. Actually, Talulah’s sudden attack on Chernobog has something to do with Lungmen. I won’t explain the connection. However, Talulah is planning to attack Lungmen. You will know her purpose after some time. You all, especially Ch’en, should understand Talulah’s deep feelings for Lungmen, right?”

“…Deep feelings, is it? How sarcastic.”

“Anyway, it will happen after about a week. Talulah will bring many Reunion members to attack Lungmen. Don’t look at me as though you are looking at a fool. They are truly gathering Infected and will attack Lungmen. Furthermore, they will succeed. You still don’t believe me?”

“I believe. I believe.”

“Your attitude is just as half-hearted as when I divine fate for others. Never mind. Taking the money of others means they owe me nothing. Anyway, that’s all I can say about the Reunion Movement’s attack.”

“Wait, that’s all? I spent 1,800,000 LMD just to hear this little?” Swire was extremely upset, feeling Chen Heng had duped her.

“Of course not. Next, I’m going to tell you the solution. Do you know Rhodes Island? The pharmaceutical company that does everything but make medicine?”

“I’ve heard of it.”

“I heard of it when we were taking records of our interrogation today. Furthermore, why do you keep emphasizing it’s a pharmaceutical company that does everything but make medicine?”

“Wait, wait. What’s up with taking records? Fortuneteller, you were brought to the Lungmen Guard Department today? Furthermore, by mentioning Rhodes Island now, you’re not telling me Rhodes Island can solve this problem, are you? If so, I suspect you are here to trick Lungmen into working with Rhodes Island.”

“Indeed, I just came out of the Lungmen Guard Department in the afternoon. I got brought there because of a fight. However, I did nothing at all. Why else do you think I searched for a gullible prodigal near the Lungmen Guard Department?”

“That is to say, you came here to set up a stall because you were brought to the Lungmen Guard Department this afternoon?” Ch’en now suspected Chen Heng was taking revenge on the Lungmen Guard Department.

“That is one reason. The other reason is this park’s popularity with couples. There is a greater chance to break up couples here.”
