Chapter 49: I will be able to understand your deepest desires
The woman known as the "Master" laid the card on the table, staring straight into the face of the client. After a moment, she spoke slowly, "There will be some difficulties in the middle, but as long as you follow the method I tell you, this deal can be successfully concluded."
"Great, thank you Master for guiding me!" The ecstatic client stood up, took several bundles of US dollars from his briefcase, and put them on the table. "Master, this is your reward. Please accept it!" said the client.
The woman nodded slightly without speaking. With a light flick of her hand, the bundles of dollars on the table disappeared.
This magical skill caused the onlookers to gasp in astonishment.
"Master, help me see my love life!"
"I was here first! I want to test my financial luck! I’m about to buy some stocks..."
"Everybody move aside, let me go first!"
The situation was somewhat chaotic, with the onlookers scrambling to have their fortunes told. At this time, a stunningly voluptuous woman in the VIP section on the second floor of the bar was watching the frenzied crowd in the dance floor below expressionlessly.
A man in a suit and tie stood next to her, whispering, "Boss, since this so-called Master appeared, the purpose of our customers coming to our bar has changed... Not for drinking, but for divination of the future... Isn’t this not so good for our bar?"
The woman glanced at the man next to her. Her eyes, lined with eyeliner, were particularly captivating. Even the man who had worked for her for many years couldn’t help swallowing.
What a natural beauty...
The woman’s red lips parted slightly, and in a magnetic voice she said, "Seventy percent of this Master’s daily income is ours. Otherwise, why do you think I would keep her here?"
"Seventy percent? Such a high percentage, and the Master is willing to..." The man was startled.
"Yes, she agreed quite readily, so much so that it made me regret asking for too little," the woman smiled seductively.
"Well... how much is seventy percent of her daily income?" asked the man.
"It depends on her mood. Sometimes she can tell fortunes for dozens of people in a day, but sometimes she only helps a few... However, the reason I keep her here is naturally because the income is substantial.
She’s been in our bar for less than ten days and has already brought us over five million dollars in revenue. This is pure income, without any costs," the woman laughed.
"Five million dollars in pure income... that’s impressive," the man exclaimed in surprise.
"That’s because this Master’s predictions are accurate," the woman said.
"Boss... you also had her predict for you?" the man asked.
"Yes, but don’t ask about the content. I can only tell you that the result was very precise," the woman said, raising a glass filled with premium alcohol and taking a small sip.
At the same time as their conversation, the fortune-telling Master in the center of the dance floor was looking at the people around her, her brows slightly furrowed, her face seemingly a little impatient.
Apart from a psychic she met half an hour ago, all the people surrounding her were ordinary people, which made her somewhat annoyed. The real purpose of her fortune-telling was not to make money.
No matter how much money these ordinary people gave her, she had no interest.
The previous customer who had come here for divination walked past Alexander, still so immersed in his joy that he hopped as he moved along.
"Hold on, don’t go just yet. Tell me your name," Alexander halted the man in his path.
"Who are you? You dare to block Tony’s way. Are you asking for a beating?"
"Oh, so you’re Tony." Alexander slapped him on the shoulder, then asked, "Which company are you from? Why do I find you somewhat unfamiliar?"
"You’re so ignorant. You don’t even recognize me. Have you heard of the Giacomo Company? I own 19% of the shares!" Tony declared proudly.
In comparison to Alexander, Tony was clearly more interested in the woman by his side, Laura. He had never seen such a beautiful woman. She was his dream girl!
"Beautiful lady, might I have the pleasure of having dinner with you?" Tony asked, his face full of smiles.
"Absolutely not," Laura directly rejected.
"You dare reject my invitation? Do you know I am a shareholder of the Giacomo Company and will soon be partnering with the Mandela Company? By then, my status in the company will be even higher and I will own countless wealth!" Tony raised his voice, completely unbothered by the odd stares from others.
"I rejected you. So what are you going to do about it?" Laura looked at Tony as if he were an idiot.
"I will have a lot of money. I will become a world-class tycoon like Alexander. I will make you regret!" Tony roared.
"You are annoying. Why would the Mandela Company collaborate with a client like you? That’s ridiculous." While Alexander said this, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Listen, put the Giacomo Company on the blacklist starting from now. No one from their company is allowed to enter our company’s door, not even a dog from their company. Understand?"
"Understood, boss!"
After putting his phone back in his pocket, Alexander and Laura both ignored this guy.
However, Tony was unyielding and angrily cursed, "You jerk, who do you think you are, acting like a tycoon here. You should look in the mirror..."
At this moment, Tony’s phone rang. He answered the call, and his face turned pale instantly!
"What did you say? The Mandela Company wants to terminate its partnership with us? Why? Did they give a reason?"
"What? No reason at all, and they even put our company on a blacklist!"
Tony’s face became uglier, his features contorted. He grabbed Alexander’s clothes and roared, "It’s all your curse. You ruined my good thing. I’ll kill you!"
After that, Tony reached into his briefcase, where a glimpse of a gun could be seen.
"Damn it, I hate it when someone shoots me!" Alexander slapped Tony, who was sent flying backwards, knocking over several tables.
At this point, the fortune-telling woman felt something was off and her face changed slightly.
Her gaze was fixed straight ahead, pointedly towards Alexander, who was beyond the crowd of onlookers.
Though many people separated her from Alexander, their gazes met in mid-air.
"This is a powerful Psychic..."
A glint sparked in her eyes.
She extended her hand and gently tapped on the table. The noisy customers immediately fell silent.
"Could you please make some room?"
She gestured for the crowd of customers in front of her to disperse to the sides.
At the master’s request, the group of customers dared not delay and promptly cleared a path.
Now, she could see Alexander, who stood in the distance.
"Sir, I can sense that you have many questions. Would you like me to divine for you? It’s free." She said with a smile.
Upon hearing her words, the surrounding customers turned to look at Alexander in unison.
Having the master actively extend a divination invitation, and for free! This man was something else.
Alexander looked at the woman, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After a moment’s thought, he stood up and walked towards her.
As for so-called divinations of the future, he naturally did not believe in them. As his actions just now demonstrated, Tony’s divination had clearly been wrong.
However, Alexander was curious as to why this woman would ignore the many affluent customers around her and instead offer to divine for him for free.
Alexander walked to the woman’s table and sat down.
After Alexander took a seat, the woman picked up the deck of cards in front of her and began to shuffle them.
Moments later, she drew three cards in succession and placed them in front of Alexander.
"Please choose one card." She said.
"Don’t you need to ask me what I want divined?" Alexander raised an eyebrow, asking.
"No need, you just need to pick a card at random, and I will be able to understand your deepest desires." The woman said calmly.
