Foresight
Now that the skill of predicting fate has become so powerful, perhaps she can try it more boldly.
Her mood instantly became excited, and Elena immediately closed her eyes, thinking about Harun's face to deepen her impression.
Snap, the fingers snapped again.
The high-definition picture quickly unfolded, and Elena found that her perspective was in mid-air this time. She saw Harun below, who was talking to someone.
Elena controlled the perspective to descend and approach. This time the perspective changed very sensitively, and it could be said to move at will. It was no longer as difficult to control as before, and it would fly over her head if she was not careful.
"When you go out to purchase this time, you must buy as much food as possible, whether it is wheat or beans, as long as there is shipment, you should try to buy it." Harun said to another person.
The other person immediately replied, "Yes, sir, please rest assured. I will definitely purchase more food."
Harun continued, "Alas, the weather has been terrible these past few years. The harvest is getting smaller every year. If this continues, everyone will tighten their belts, and our business won't last much longer."
Another person chimed in, talking about the harvests in several counties and the news that several nobles were selling their land and estates.
As they talked, the two also talked about recent scandals and gossips and family disputes in the aristocratic circle.
Elena found it boring; this was not what she wanted to hear.
As the two were talking, a servant came over.
The servant bowed and held a tray with an envelope on it. "Master, the Second Prince has sent a letter."
Harun took the letter, opened it, and took a look at it twice before his face changed.
"Master, does the Second Prince have anything to tell you?" another person asked.
Harun handed him the letter: "The Second Prince wants to borrow money."
The man quickly read through it and said, "So many!"
Harun's face looked very unhappy.
Elena leaned over and took a look. She didn't look at the specific content of the letter, but only looked at the number on it. Wow, 1,000 gold coins!
"The Second Prince has been borrowing more and more money, and every time he borrows, he never pays it back..." The man paused, secretly observing Harun's expression, and asked, "Master, will you lend me money this time?"
Harun sighed, "I can't borrow so much. We don't have a mountain of gold at home."
"Is the Second Prince going to do something big? Why would he use so much money?" The man raised a new question.
Harlan: "The Second Prince seems to have been in contact with Miss Kate recently."
"Miss Kate? Wasn't there a rumor that she was dating Miss Ruth before?" the man said.
Harlan sighed again: "The prince has the right to be unfaithful."
"But a prince has no right to spend other people's money on infidelity." The man sighed, "Besides, does it take so much money to pursue women?"
The two of them were speechless.
The more Elena listened, the more bored she became. This time, she had really lost out. She had been listening to useless information for a long time, wasting her magic power in vain. Forget it, let's end it first...
"Master, do you want to borrow some money from the dessert shop first?"
Huh?! Elena perked up.
Elena stared at Harlan.
Harlan's expression was very hesitant: "Miss Viscount Field is not someone without a backer."
What does that mean? Elena immediately became alert.
Does he mean that if she has no one to rely on, he will just borrow money and not pay it back?
"We can win over Miss Viscount Field and ask her to support the Second Prince together. As long as she is willing to join, she can help share the Second Prince's financial needs." The man tried to persuade.
Elena got angry when she heard that.
Bullshit, who wants to give money to others for free?
"But," Harun still hesitated, "she already has a powerful backer, Lord Siye Liuxing. Does she still need the Second Prince's help?"
"Well, how long can a man's heart last? There are so many beauties in the world, can he really only look at one flower? Miss Viscount Field can't put all her eggs in one basket. One more backer means one more way out." The man continued to incite.
Elena didn't want to hear what was said next and angrily exited the predictive state.
Get out, she doesn't accept such a partner.
If she were to change people, she would still be involved with the second prince. She just wanted to make money and didn't want to get involved in political stances at all.
Moreover, they actually looked down on her, thinking that she was the kind of weakling who could only rely on men.
Bah, they are blind. I am a French double S, and I am their own backer!
Elena picked up the silver bell and rang it, and the crisp sound of the bell rang out.
Hearing the call, Pine walked into the office again. He noticed the anger on the lord's lady's face and immediately lowered his head.
"Pine, I'm going to see Todd now. I'll take you back with me." Elena said.
"yes."
Elena tore off a teleportation scroll, and with a flash of white light, she and Pine arrived at the office of Rainbow Dessert Shop.
"Okay, you go to work and I'll go see Todd." Elena instructed Pine.
Pine excused himself.
Elena went to the restaurant next door.
In the office on the second floor of the restaurant, Todd was facing the family's audit with a headache.
The master of the house sent an accounting staff to check the accounts and verify each asset and personnel expenditure of the restaurant one by one. Todd was confident that no public funds had been embezzled to cause accounting deficits, and all the accounts were honest and reliable, but there were a lot of losses, and if someone had to find fault, it was not impossible to find some.
Elena walked to the second floor and saw two strong guards standing at the door of the office.
Elena paused, took out the mage badge from the space ring, put it on her chest, and then walked towards the office.
The guard at the gate saw someone coming and his eyes fell on the badge on the visitor's chest, and his serious expression eased a little.
"I want to see Todd," Elena said.
Guard: "Master Mage, please wait a moment."
The guard knocked on the door and it opened, but it wasn't Todd who came out.
"What's the matter?" asked the person who opened the door.
The guard said, "This wizard wants to see Master Todd."
The man also saw Elena's badge and smiled faintly: "Respected Master Mage, is it you who wants to see Master Todd?"
Elena hummed.
Soon, Todd came out.
"Elena." Todd was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Elena raised her chin slightly: “I have something to talk to you about.”
"Oh," Todd replied, turning to the people in the office and saying, "This is Viscountess Field."
Several people in the office immediately came over to greet him.
After some social pleasantries, Elena and Todd finally sat down in a corner of the restaurant and started talking.
It's not meal time now, and there are no customers in the restaurant, so it seems very quiet.
Elena stirred the milk tea in front of her and looked up at Todd, who looked a little tired.
"You look tired," Elena said.
Todd took a sip of tea and said, "I slept too late last night and didn't get enough rest."
He still wanted to cover it up and didn't want others to know that he was in a bad situation.
Elena smiled: "I heard that you want to sell the shares of the dessert shop to someone else?"
Todd was stunned: "You knew it so quickly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he figured it out: "Pine and Rubin are your people, it's normal for you to know."
Elena didn’t say anything, but got straight to the point: “I came here this time to tell you that I don’t agree to change people.”
Todd was stunned again: "Why?"
"Because I hate trouble." Elena took a sip of milk tea. "You know, I'm a mage, and mages can tell fortunes. I know through divination that changing people is not a good thing, so I don't want to change."
Elena was too lazy to explain too much and just said it was divination.
The divination result is not good?
Todd was a little amused: "I can't refute this reason."
Only the wizard knows the result of divination. What the wizard says is what it is. What else can he say?
Elena also smiled and said, "You convey my meaning to the Marquis. I don't care what others think. In short, I don't agree. If you insist on replacing me, then I will close the store. I can still afford this small loss."
Todd looked at her, and as he looked at her, he laughed, and his laughter became louder and louder.
When the laughter died down, Todd restrained his expression and said seriously, "Thank you. I will always remember your help."
Elena hummed softly.
While the people sent by the head of the family were still there, Todd immediately went upstairs to call them over. He repeated Elena's meaning in front of Elena.
Those people didn't expect to be stopped by Miss Viscount Field.
Seeing Viscountess Field's mage badge, those people could only turn around and persuade Todd: "This is not good, how can we explain it to the head of the family? You should persuade Viscountess Field. It's beneficial to both parties, so why not refuse it?"
Elena was an intermediate-level mage with sharp ears and eyes. Even if they spoke in a low voice, she could hear it clearly.
She didn't want to embarrass Todd. She understood Todd's current situation. Not only did she understand it, but she also felt it deeply. Although he had the family surname and was respectfully called "master", he had no right to speak at all.
Whether he can speak or not, and whether anyone listens to what he says, depends only on the center of power, the Marquis at the top of the family, and whether he values him or cares about him. If the Marquis thinks he is a dispensable person, then even if he is a servant, he can be despised.
Elena stood up and said, "Everyone, my decision comes from my divination results. Please apologize to the Marquis on my behalf and forgive me for wanting to keep things as they are."
After Elena spoke and expressed her attitude, those people didn't dare to speak anymore.
Elena smiled at Todd.
Todd's eyes were filled with gratitude.
She was supporting him, and he understood how lucky he was to have a friend like her.
