Chapter 419 Last Question

"Why don't you read your own fortune? Will you be able to get this money?" Larry didn't bother to hide the hostile look in his gaze. The fortune teller was utterly horrified at this point—he could no longer conceal his true colors as a scammer. Linda, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help but laugh to herself. Is he trying to fake his role as a fortune teller when he can barely contain his own emotions? Hah! What a joke.
"I… I…" The fortune teller couldn't say anything at all—he stuttered for a century before scrunching his face and turning to Hanson. Finally, he had to force himself to speak in the face of Hanson's stern glare. "I was a part of the backstage crew in Master Gordon's troupe 20 years ago. There was this one time when I overheard Master Gordon saying that The Great Chemist went into the mountains for his practice. When I noticed how all the rich people tended to come over in search of The Great Chemist, I came up with this scheme of pretending to be a fortune teller."
Vania was still mildly surprised after hearing the man's explanation. While they were on the way to the fortune teller's place, the two assistants had already researched the fortune teller's background, and they knew that he was a scammer. However, she hadn't expected him to be able to lie and survive for so many years as a fortune teller just after overhearing a single rumor. Vania couldn’t believe that all of his past visitors had just blindly trusted him.
