18 Chapter 18 - Inner Struggle, Prophecy Released!

Meanwhile, in the villa's dining room, a variety of delicacies had already been laid out on the table. Lin WanGe and Su MengMeng began to eat without waiting for Jiang Feng. They were also discussing how to approach him about the prophecy.

Before they could agree on a plan, Jiang Feng had finished washing up and arrived in the dining room. He paid no attention to the fact that they had started eating without him and did not inquire about what they were discussing. Instead, he loudly announced, "My esteemed guests, welcome. The banquet is ready."

"To have guests like you is a great honor," Lin WanGe replied.

Jiang Feng sat down, picked up a crab leg, and broke it in half before sucking out the meat. At the same time, he looked at Lin WanGe teasingly, waiting for her to continue.

"Your honor is too great," Lin WanGe replied, rolling her eyes at Jiang Feng.

Su MengMeng found the exchange amusing, but she did not join in. Instead, she stopped eating and addressed Jiang Feng seriously. "Jiang, you're a busy man. It's already a great honor for us to be able to meet you. We couldn't possibly ask for more."

Jiang Feng smiled but did not respond. He waited patiently for them to continue.

As he expected, Lin WanGe soon broached the topic of the prophecy. "Why did you ask me to investigate the prophecy last time?" she asked.

"It's a hot topic, isn't it? As a modern person, it's normal to keep up with the latest news," Jiang Feng replied casually.

Lin WanGe was not satisfied with his answer. "Are you the prophet?" she asked directly.

Jiang Feng was taken aback by her question, but before he could respond, their phones all buzzed with notifications. "Lin, the Prophet has released a new prophecy!" "Su, the Prophet's 'Thousand Crowds' has been updated!"

As Jiang Feng had anticipated, their attention was immediately diverted to the new prophecy. They opened the 'Thousand Crowds' app to read the latest prophecy, which read: "I am the Prophet, and I am now releasing my latest prophecy! In the semifinals of the Da Fu Cup on July 15th, 216 years into the New Star Calendar, the Da Xia Prefecture will defeat the Da Liao Prefecture 2-1. The game will go into overtime, and the Da Xia Prefecture will win due to an own goal."

Jiang Feng watched as they read the prophecy, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

...

After lunch, Lin Wange and Su Mengmeng said goodbye to Jiang Feng. On the way back to the villa in Nan City, the two of them had already recovered from the shock of the new prophecy.

They discussed their meeting with Jiang Feng again. "Wange, I can't help but feel that when you asked Jiang Feng if he was a prophet, he seemed very surprised," Su Mengmeng said after careful consideration.

"Maybe he just didn't want to answer. He probably thought the question was ridiculous," Lin Wange agreed, thinking the same.

"When the new prophecy came out, the three of us were sitting together. Jiang Feng didn't even have his phone with him," Lin Wange continued. "He was holding a crab leg at the time. Did he use a crab leg to make the prophecy?"

Su Mengmeng laughed at the absurdity of the idea but still had doubts. "It's possible that it was a diversion. The prophet is a master hacker, so these tricks are easy for him."

"How do you prove that?" Lin Wange was not convinced and didn't see any problem with Jiang Feng's behavior.

"I can't prove it, but don't you think Jiang Feng's reaction to the prophecy was too calm?" Su Mengmeng asked. "It's like..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly leaned forward.
