Chapter 29
"You don't even know where the Bounty Hunter Guild is, so don't try to fool me. I'll pay the deposit first, and then I'll pay the final payment after I go in and take a look." Xie Mu said vigilantly.
An Ge didn't care and told him to do as he pleased. She also needed to wait for Lin Yaoxin to come out anyway, so it didn't matter who she waited for.
After Xie Mu's interruption, Ango's nerves relaxed a little. Just as she was wondering if the look just now was her illusion, she felt a cold and soft hand patting her shoulder from behind.
Ango was stunned.
There was a dead end behind her, and she didn't seem to see anyone when she came here just now.
"Miss, would you like to do divination?"
Ango turned around and saw a woman in her thirties, dressed in a purple robe dotted with silver light. A large hood obscured her eyes, but just from the lower half of her face, one could tell she was exquisitely beautiful.
Looking at the mysterious fortune teller, Ango was silent for a moment and said directly, "I don't believe this. Go find someone else."
She doesn't believe in fate.
The woman's petal-like lips curled into a smile. "It's so rare to see you're destined to be together. This is a free opportunity. Will you really not consider it again?"
The woman's smile was a little mysterious, but Ango sensed hidden danger in it. She subconsciously wanted to take a step back and create some distance, but her body felt like it was filled with lead and she moved slowly.
"Doctor An! What a coincidence!" Tang Yu's delighted voice came from behind, "Did you buy anything?"
Ango suddenly woke up, as if the heaviness of his body just now was just an illusion.
"Who are you? A fortune teller?" Ace looked at the woman next to Ango curiously, then squeezed in between them. "What fun stuff do you have? Tell me something too!"
The woman shook her head. "I only test one person a day. Today I'm meeting Dr. An, so I'll test her for free."
So the two children pulled Dr. An and enthusiastically asked the fortune teller to see the results.
Ango knew they were just joking. Although she had no interest in divination, the series of strange experiences she had today made her suspicious of the fortune teller's true intentions, so she followed the others to the end of the alley.
There is a long wooden table here with a crystal ball in the center, a soft black velvet tablecloth underneath, and various crystals and aromatherapy surrounding it.
"Just put your hand on the crystal ball."
"What are you measuring?" Ango asked.
“For the foreseeable future.”
Upon hearing this, Ango glanced at the woman calmly and placed his hand on the crystal ball, but after more than ten seconds, there was no movement.
"Is this thing broken?" Ace's face showed doubt and he knocked on the crystal ball distrustfully.
Unexpectedly, the crystal ball began to emit light, and several images appeared in people's eyes one after another.
The first scene shows Ace running in the woods with a panicked look on his face, as if something is chasing him from behind.
The second scene shows Ango and Irene standing face to face. Irene is crying sadly, her blue pupils are filled with tears, and Ango's face is very gloomy.
The third scene shows a strange woman hiding in a laboratory, listening to something nervously.
These pictures seem to be related, but the connection is not so clear, leaving everyone confused.
Only Ango felt a jolt in his heart when he saw the last scene—that was the Interhead Corporation's laboratory, and the strange woman in the picture was none other than Ghost Commander's trusted lieutenant, the "Ice Beauty" Ceci. He was clearly doing a divination about his own future, so why was Ceci's image alone? They didn't interact much in their daily lives. Could it be that her fate was intertwined with this Ice Beauty's?
The first few scenes clearly foreshadowed that bad things were about to happen to Ace and Irene. Was all this related to her? Ango had a vague sense of foreboding.
However... when the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Since she is with the siblings, she will definitely find a way to resolve this matter.
Ace asked confusedly, "What does this mean? Why is my sister crying?"
The fortune teller was silent for a while and turned to Ango.
Ango waited for her to speak, but the fortune teller remained silent.
"Speak up." Ace was anxious. "What happened to my sister?"
Tang Yu patted Ace, signaling him to calm down: "The results of the divination can be changed, right? It can be changed by spending money, right?"
As soon as Tang Yu opened his mouth, the atmosphere immediately relaxed, as if this fortune teller was doing divination for free just to collect money to help people avoid disasters.
"It doesn't cost money... maybe it can be changed." The fortune teller smiled slightly and said, "Take good care of the important people around you."
Ango knew that the fortune teller was talking to her. Although she was confused, she nodded and said, "Of course."
Then, the fortune teller waved his sleeves, and the wooden table, crystal ball and other objects in front of him disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never appeared.
She walked slowly out of the alley, took one last look in the direction of the second-hand lattice shop, and turned back to Ango and said, "The person you're waiting for is here."
The three of them followed and saw that it was Lin Yaoxin. He looked at the fortune teller with a strange expression, then looked at An Ge, and watched the fortune teller go away suspiciously.
Ace complained to Lin Yaoxin in a bad mood that the fortune teller just now gave a bad result, but he didn't say anything. Lin Yaoxin seemed absent-minded, staring at the fortune teller's back.
Seeing this scene, Ango couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Lin Yaoxin knew that person?
"What did you do there?" Tang Yu's focus was different from Ace's. "Is there anything we want in there?"
"Ah, I didn't see it." Lin Yaoxin said carelessly, "Doctor An, I'm done."
This means that the items have been placed in the grid, and as long as there are buyers who purchase them, the money will be deposited into their accounts.
Ango nodded: "Well, wait a moment, someone still owes me money."
"Who is it?" Ace asked without hesitation.
"I didn't expect your information to be so accurate." A cheerful male voice came from the door. "Here, here's the remaining four thousand yuan. Please check it."
The three children were stunned.
"This... so much..." Tang Yu stuttered.
"Wow, why are there so many people here all of a sudden?" Xie Mu's smile was sunny and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Ango turned on his computer and checked his bank account, and he was immediately satisfied.
To sell quickly, she set a low price of just 10,000 each. Since the owner of the grid shop took a 30% cut, she would pocket 7,000 for each sale, totaling 70,000. On top of that… there was also the 5,000 yuan information fee Xie Miao gave her, for a total of 75,000!
Wait... 75,000? Does that mean all ten are sold?
Ango suddenly thought, could it be that Xie Miao bought them all at once? That person must be really rich!
"Not bad." Ango smiled at Xie Mu for the second time, this time with satisfaction, and his gaze towards Xie Mu was a little gentle. "Congratulations, you found what you wanted!"
Xie Mu was suddenly praised and scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. Just as he was about to say something, An Ge took out his laptop and said, "Let's exchange contact information. If you have anything else you want to know, you can continue to ask me."
No matter what, Ango didn't want to miss such a rich and straightforward client.
Since she is now planning to develop her own power, she must win over all the forces that can be won over and develop all the sales channels that can be developed, so that after she makes the products, she can quickly turn them into money.
Ango quickly added Xie Mu as his friend, said goodbye, and walked away with the three of them, chatting: "What do you want to buy? I'll check out."
"Really?" Tang Yu's eyes lit up and he started to chatter, "I just saw a lot of experimental equipment, but I can't afford it..."
"Don't worry now." Ango smiled slightly, "Just go ahead and pick it."
With money in his pocket, Ango can not only provide more help to Irene Ace's family, but also improve his own laboratory, prepare for future research and development, and make more self-protection things, so that he will have the confidence even if he runs away in the future.
In addition, she also added Xie Mu's contact information - she had a hunch that there would be more possibilities for transactions between her and this wealthy young man.
Thinking of this, Ango's mood improved a lot. He walked more briskly and talked more.
Just as the four of them were happily discussing the plan to build a laboratory, no one noticed that a black shadow quietly left Ango's feet.
Xi Sen hadn't said anything just now, but he was always nervous, observing the hooded fortune teller - Jiang Can, a rare S-level strongman in the world, and was wary of the possibility that the other party might suddenly attack and take Ango away by force.
After all, the result of their conversation last night was not pleasant. Jiang Can always emphasized that Ango should be kept under the control of MAA and be wary of the possibility that she would defect to another organization.
However... for some reason, Jiang Can did not take her away today. This may be related to the results of today's divination.
Xi Sen shuttled through the black area, frowning silently.
Soon, he met the hooded fortune teller at the entrance of the black market.
"What exactly did you see?" Xi Sen asked. "The Arc of Time... can both recreate the past and foresee the future. What kind of future is that?"
"Tsk." Jiang Can took off his hood, his tone somewhat ambiguous. "This puts me in a difficult position. If I take her away now, I'm afraid it will change the fate of those children... Let the little boy and his sister be careful."
"You mean Ace...and Erin?"
"Yes, their meeting was destined," Jiang Can affirmed. "But I won't let Sangria go either. Just as you said, I'll come back to take her away after the one-month deadline. But... you should be on Ibilene by then."
Xi Sen thought for a while before saying, "There are dangers on the island, but there are also opportunities. Perhaps you really need to take action."
"Of course, I'll wait for you on the island."
At the entrance of the black market, two important officials from MAA had just reached an agreement; at the entrance of the alley, the young and wealthy Xie Mu still had a feeling of unreality.
Ango and the three children quickly vanished from his sight, but he remained stunned for a long moment, feeling that everything that had happened today was a little strange. He wanted to buy a modification system, which wasn't common on the black market, but to come across ten of them, and to have someone point him in the right direction, seemed like a perfect coincidence.
But he didn't have time to think about it, because he had another goal in coming this time - to find a person with special abilities in the Bounty Hunter Guild to protect him. He had agreed on a time and place with the middleman in Sun Town, but the middleman was late in returning, and he was in a hurry to start his journey, so he found Ango who happened to be across the street.
"Sorry, sorry, the ceremony took a while." The middleman hurried over and apologized with a smile.
"Let's go." Xie Mu's face was gloomy, no longer as enthusiastic and cheerful as before - this was no wonder, after all, it was the middleman who broke the appointment and delayed his trip.
"What kind of person do you want to hire this time? What's your budget? Do you have any specific requirements for the level and category of ability?"
"Don't worry, the budget is definitely sufficient, and your introduction fee will not be small. I require at least A-level ability. As for the category... let's go and take a look."
"Okay. How long do you want to hire me for? Are there any special tasks or requirements?"
Xie Mu thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a two-month trial. You need to accompany me to Ibilene Island and protect my personal safety during that time. If you do a good job, I can consider hiring you long-term."
"Okay, okay. Excuse me, what are you doing on the island?"
Xie Mu tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Vacation."
