Chapter 536: The Ability to Predict the Future (Update 1)
Perhaps it was because the visitor's tone was too miserable, or perhaps it was because the incident of "being forced to sleep in the basement by his wife" was too funny, the tense atmosphere in the lounge disappeared in an instant.
Ruan Qi's mental strength that had accumulated to the peak was like a rainbow bubble, which burst out with a "pop".
Jiang Chunian's body also stiffened. He couldn't believe that at such a tense moment, someone would say that his wife would send him to sleep in the basement.
He and Ruan Qi turned their heads at the same time and looked at the visitor who slept in the basement.
The old gentleman, holding a walking stick and wearing a Windsor knot, smiled harmlessly, "Miss Qi Sha, am I disturbing you?"
Because Jiang Chunian was there, Ruan Qi didn't say anything, but just shook his head slowly.
The old gentleman's eyes immediately lit up. "Miss Qi Sha, I'm sorry I only learned your identity so late. I know it's very rude to come to the lounge to see you, but you must help me. My wife really wants to see her savior, and I really don't want to sleep in the basement."
Ruan Qi: “…”
Old man, can’t you see the room full of bodyguards and the guns in their hands?
With more than a dozen guns pointed at you, you're still thinking about sleeping in the basement?!
Ruan Qi's feelings were indescribable. She didn't want to hurt innocent people because of her feud with Jiang Chunian. This old gentleman was so old, it would be terrible if he got scared or became an innocent victim.
Ruan Qi thought about it and decided to let Simon's secretary send the old gentleman out.
But before she could say anything, Demonhawk suddenly said hesitantly: "Are you the old Duke Davis?"
Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment.
Davis? The Duke of that name...
Before Ruan Qi could figure it out, the old gentleman at the door let out a light exclamation.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Demonhawk, slightly surprised and said: "You know me?"
This rhetorical question is equivalent to acknowledging the old gentleman's identity.
Demonhawk's expression changed suddenly, and even Simon, who was usually cold and arrogant, showed a look of fear on his face.
Ruan Qi was a little confused by the reactions of these two people. She pulled Simon's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Simon, this old man is..."
Simon: "The previous head of the Davis family in Country Y."
Suddenly, Ruan Qi's expression changed slightly.
The Davis family is the oldest royal aristocracy currently existing in the upper class of Country Y.
Unlike other ordinary nobles, the Davis family never strove for power, nor did they rely on their blood ties to those in power to act arbitrarily. For hundreds of years, it had maintained a low profile, yet no one could ignore its supreme position in Country Y.
Because - the Davis family is a family that can predict the future.
Every head of the Davis family possesses the terrifying ability to predict the future.
Of course, this ability is not the supernatural power in those golden fingers, but a real skill learned from books, just like Chinese divination and fortune-telling.
The Davis family was a fortune-teller, and a book of prophecies had been passed down through the generations since their ancestors. This book also established the Davis family's status in the entire country of Y.
No one wants to offend a family with special abilities, including the royal family, who also choose to befriend the Davis family.
Therefore, the Davis family's status in high society is unimaginable to ordinary people. Everyone respects it, but also fears it. It is like a legend, never participating in power struggles, yet its presence is everywhere.
Ruan Qi never thought that the person he saved in the bathroom would actually save the Davis family.
She looked at the old gentleman in astonishment, finding it hard to connect this old man who was driven by his wife to sleep in the basement with the former head of the Davis family who had the final say.
Everyone else was also shocked.
The Davis family had always lived in seclusion, rarely appearing in public. If Demonhawk hadn't happened to have met the old gentleman once before, no one present would have recognized him.
Now that the old gentleman's true identity has been exposed, the atmosphere in the lounge has become more solemn instead of relaxed.
Everyone looked at the old gentleman with fear, especially the Hawke family. Ruan Qi even noticed that Demon Hawke and Jiang Chunian both took a step back.
The ability to predict the future may seem magical to onlookers, but those who experience it firsthand may feel repulsed and terrified.
No one wants their future to be seen through by a stranger, especially those who harbor ulterior motives. They would like to keep their thoughts locked up, so how can they let a stranger predict their inner thoughts?
Everyone, including the bodyguards present, became more or less wary and resistant to the old gentleman.
Only Ruan Qi was still standing there calmly, with his hands in his sweatshirt pockets and a leisurely posture.
The old gentleman had not expected that she would react in this way after knowing his identity, and he could not help but feel a little surprised.
"Miss Qisha, aren't you afraid of me?"
Ruan Qi tilted his head and shook it.
What’s the point of predicting the future?
In front of the divine artifact Bai Li, anyone with special abilities has to kneel down and call him daddy!
Moreover, when it comes to the ability to predict the future, she also has it. The Koi skill that Bai Li gave her is even more powerful than predicting the future!
The Davis family's ability to predict the future can only see the general direction of future events.
However, the Koi skill of the artifact Bai Li can see all the dangers that will happen in the next month.
The Davis family's special abilities can only be considered a 1.0 primitive version compared to the Koi skills.
Ruan Qi was not afraid of the old gentleman at all. On the contrary, she felt a certain familiarity towards this kind of person with special abilities.
Seeing that she was really not afraid at all, the old gentleman's smile became more genuine.
"Miss Qi Sha," he said with a gentle, gentlemanly bow. "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Andre Davis, the former head of the Davis family in Country Y. The beautiful woman you treated in the restroom that day is my beloved wife, Jennifer. Miss Qi Sha, I would very much like to make friends with you."
After hearing this, the faces of the Hawke family members present all changed.
Demonhawk, in particular, looked at Ruan Qi and old Duke Davis in shock, unable to believe that the two had such a connection.
That is the Davis family with special abilities, an existence that even the royal family of Kingdom Y has to fear.
If Solomon's Seven Killers gets this connection, will old Davis support her?
Jiang Chunian's rash attack on Simon just now had already completely offended Solomon. If Old Davis intervened in this matter for Ruan Qi's sake, then the R7 would definitely not be sold!
Demonhawk was very anxious. He glanced at Jiang Chunian, who was still looking at the old Duke Davis with fear and didn't notice his gaze at all.
