A Con-Man

Butler Sheng and the rest decided to watch silently, trying to see what was going on or what information would get exchanged.

Soon, Minato and Yangbo stood right before their booth nervously.

Dorian smiled at them: "What can I do for you two?"

The duo looked at each other before taking large gulps of saliva down nervously.

"Ex...Excuse me... but you offer divinations, correct?"

"Yes. That's right."

"So... your services are real  not... you know... fake?"

~Pff~

Hayden and the rest standing behind Minato tried their best to hold their laughter in.

Hahahahahaha!

This was just too hilarious.

They thought these cowards wanted to purchase something. 

But who would've known that they would stop for divinations?

"Hey, Morons! This guy is definitely a Con-Man. Don't you know that such things don't exist?"

"That's right. If people could really predict the future or see things, then wouldn't they have already taken over this world by now?"

"What a bunch of good-for-nothings! If you want to be cheated, then hurry it up! We don't have much time to waste here!"

The trio at the back taunted Minato and Yangbo, calling them idiots.

And even those nearby also joined in to laugh at them too.

It was just too ridiculous!

But the duo who were being laughed at just looked at Dorian desperately, waiting for his answer.

It was now that Butler Sheng, Bewoh, and Haru noticed something wrong.

These two were frightened of something.

They had a deep sense of fear within them, and it didn't seem to be about the trio behind them.

.

While everyone was still laughing, Dorian's best words froze even the trio at the back.

"The 5 of you are involved in a high stake game for money. And so far, it's been going very well. You've all entertained your audience, capturing their hearts and earning big. But now, this is your very last game. Today, you all plan to play big. But there's a divide amongst you all. 3 of you plan to continue, while you 2 want to call it quits but don't have the courage to. And now, you're here to find out if it's a bad or good idea to carry out the last dare in Wuphil Mountain, correct?"

"Hah.... eh?"

--Silence--

Everyone stared at Dorian in shock.

How... How did he know?

(°0°)

Seeing their expressions, Butler Sheng, Bewoh and Haru were taken aback in wonder.

Could it be that he truly a Divination Master?

No! No! No! No!

Divination didn't exist, right?

Hayden, Lulu and Terzo had completely different thoughts.

They had been very tight-lipped about it, not revealing it to anyone, apart from themselves.

Even Hayden's gang only thought that they were standing guard around the perimeter for an operation.

So how did this guy know?

Could it be that he accidentally heard it from somewhere and was here to scam them?

Yes!... wasn't that what most scam artists do?

They stalk the people they want to scam and gather information on them.

Thinking like this, they didn't believe in Dorian's so-called Divination ability.

But unlike them, Minato and Yangbo were so shocked that their lips began to quiver in shock.

.

"Master... Yes. That's exactly why we came to you."

"Oh great Master. Please tell us...should we go ahead or not?"

"Hmmm... Typically, I would've advised you to stay as far away as possible from the mountain because only danger would meet you there. But... I can also see even if you don't go up there, wherever you 2 go, things won't end up well. So the answer you're looking for, to go or not to go... will depend on yourselves."

What???!!!

The duo looked at each other and trembled even more.

Their eyes grew panicked as countless waves of worry quickly formed on their foreheads.

Instinctively, they slammed their hands on the stall and leaned forward in fear.

~Bam!

"Master, what do you mean by that? So starting from today, our lives will always be in danger whether we go up the mountain or not?"

"Master, surely, you must have a way to stop all this and save us, right? We don't want to be stalked, only to have our organs taken out!"

"I knew it! I knew those people were traffickers! No. We have to call the police. Only they can stop this whole madness?"

"Police, they are probably working in line with those rich bastards. So wouldn't we just be turning ourselves in for death?"

...

The duo gripped their hair in panic and disbelief.

They were so young, so why did they have to die now?

Hayden and the rest didn't think that Dorian's words were targeting the rich men.

No. Those words were clearly warning these idiots to be wary of them.

That's right.

Even if they played the game and took the money, they would go all out to kill these 2 after today.

And if the 2 didn't want to go to the mountain, making everyone lose 50 million, of course they would torture them and even sell their organs to make up the money.

The way they looked at it, whether the duo went up the mountain or decided to turn back home, they were dead either way.

But what baffled them was how Dorian knew of their plans.

Could it be that he belonged to one of the rival gangs or something?

Up till this very moment, they still didn't believe it was divination.

Please! That was like saying a train could fly, or human beings could chew molten lava and be okay.

That was just too ridiculous, alright?

Everyone assumed that the enemy was human, but sadly... they were so far from the truth.

...

Watching Hayden and the rest drag the dazed duo... Butler Sheng, Bewoh, and Haru looked at their disappearing silhouettes grimly.

They had heard a lot and were shocked by the turn of events.

Now, the most important thing was what the young master wanted to do.

Dorian suddenly stood up and looked at them sternly.

"Tonight will be your first introductory lesson into the new world I'm about to bring you all into. Stay by my side, and try not to die!!"
