Chapter 357 You’re a Liar
Gerald was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and asked, “Did she ask you to do that?”
Claude blushed slightly and said, “She said so. But I also want to take her with us…”
Gerald frowned slightly. The servant beside Cat Lady was obviously not an ordinary person.
She probably saw that Claude was relatively inexperienced in terms of dealing with women, so she
took advantage of this.
If that was the case, then Gerald had to be careful.
Gerald didn’t explain much. He looked at Claude and said, “Man, you are young. After so many years,
as a Watchman, you have experienced a lot. Why don’t you experience love?”
‘Claude curled his lips and said, “Too busy. I have no time to do that.”
At that point, Claude said with widely opened eyes, “Damn, how can you blame me? You speak as if
you have been in love.”
Gerald pouted and said, “I’ve been married before. It experienced more than love.”
Gerald seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said, “Damn. I forgot
something just now.”
“What?” Claude asked.
“I forgot to ask Belinda for money,” Gerald said regretfully.
Claude frowned and said, “Why don’t we go back and ask her for some money?”
Gerald shook his head and said, “Forget it, it’s troublesome. Whether we take her money or not, we
have to continue to work in her bar. Now we have some money with us, which is enough for the time
being. And Theo’s income from Malcolm should be good.”
Gerald had never had any concept of money. He felt it would be good if he had money to spend.
He wouldn’t stop working in the bar. After all, he could gather a lot of information there.
Claude nodded and said, “All right. Shall we continue working tonight?”
Gerald nodded and said, “Yes.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey ran towards Roger’s house. After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at Roger’s house.
When they were about to enter the house, Gerald suddenly turned his eyes to the opposite
side of Roger’s house.
There was originally an empty house there. No one had lived there before. In the slums, there were
many empty rooms. But when Gerald looked over, he found that there was another stall there.
An old man wearing sunglasses was sitting in front of the stall. There was a table in front of him, and
there were all kinds of things on the table.
He seemed to be a fortune–teller.
His clothes were tattered, and he looked somewhat similar to the tramp from yesterday.
Of course, Gerald’s attention was mainly on the girl beside the old man.
The girl looked to be around 18 years old while holding an ice stick in her hand. She smiled sweetly
as she sat beside the old man.
The girl was very beautiful and had delicate features. She wore a classic suit and looked like a classic
beauty. When she saw Gerald and Claude looking at her, she smiled sweetly at the two. Then, she
waved at Gerald and Claude and said, “Guys. Do you want to know your fortune?”
Gerald and Claude looked at each other.
Something was wrong. In the slums of Sin City, such a beautiful girl couldn’t appear. Moreover, when
such a beautiful girl appears, she should keep a low profile.
Logically speaking, a beautiful girl would be targeted by people from other forces. That was what
happened to Valery. When she went shopping, she was targeted by a large group of people.
This girl’s appearance was very top–notch, and she looked very active and young.
This street was free from protection fees. If other poor people knew about it, they would naturally rush
into this street. But an old man was setting up a stall here to tell fortunes with a beautiful girl. These two
people were probably not ordinary.
Gerald and Claude looked at each other. They were a little curious. Then, they walked over and sat
down opposite them. Gerald asked, “How much is it?”
The old man with sunglasses smiled, “You live opposite?”
Gerald nodded and said, “Yes.”
“The people living opposite have won us a peaceful street for the poor. Although we don’t know how
long the peace will last, if the people from the opposite side come to know their fortunes, I won’t charge
them,” the old man said with a smile.
Claude pouted and said, “Fortunes… Is it accurate?”
“Whether it is accurate or not depends on you,” the old man smiled. “Do you want to try it?”
Anyway, it was free. Gerald also wanted to know more about this person. He smiled, “Yes. What do you
need me to do?”
“Don’t do anything,” the old man said. “I am best at touching the bones.”
Then he stood up, walked to Gerald’s side, and touched Gerald’s head back and forth.
“What?” The old man suddenly made a light sound and then touched back and forth. His hands were
trembling slightly.
After a while, he swallowed his saliva and returned to his seat. Then, he took off his sunglasses, looked
at Gerald, and said, “Young man. You will have a bloody disaster recently.”
Gerald and Claude were speechless.
The moment the old man opened his mouth, Gerald and Claude knew that he was an old swindler.
Although Gerald felt disdain secretly, he asked with interest, “I wonder if there is a way to resolve it?”
. The old man smiled, “It is not difficult to resolve it.”
As he said that, he stretched out 5 fingers and said, “500 lucs. I think it should be worth it to save your
life.”
Gerald pouted. As expected, it wasn’t free. Yes, the old man said it was free. But he would use the
so–called bloody calamity to make his customers pay. It was a trick of an old swindler.
“Come on. You should improve your tricks,” Claude said with disdain.
“Well. If you believe it, it will happen. If you don’t believe it, then forget about it. When you really have a
bloody calamity, it will be too late to find a way. It’s worth paying 500 lucs to know how to protect
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyourself. I’m not fooling you,” the old man said smilingly. “But if you promise me a request, I can tell you
for free.”
Gerald asked with interest, “What request?”
“You marry my granddaughter,” the old man said joyfully.
Next to the old man, the girl was slightly stunned. And her face revealed a trace of shyness as she
said, “Grandpa. I’m only 17 years old.”
“What’s wrong with age? When your grandmother was young, she had already given birth to your
father,” the old fortune–teller said.
Gerald waved his hand and said, “Forget it then. She’s still underage. When she grows up, I can
consider it. Fine. I’m going home.”
“Young man. Whenever you think it through, you can come and find me,” the fortune–teller continued.
“500 lucs for your life. And you can spend the same money buying information about Sin City. I will not
fool you. And I think you’ll need it.”
Gerald didn’t believe it at all. He stood up and returned to the house with Claude.
While seeing the two’s backs, the fortune–teller narrowed his eyes slightly and put a pair of sunglasses
on his eyes.
Beside him, the girl gritted her teeth and said, “Grandpa, when I saw you touching his head, your hands
were trembling. Is there anything wrong with that person?”
“Yes, badly wrong,” the old man exhaled and said. “It’s Dragon Bone. My girl. If you want to leave this
city to see the outside world, maybe he can take you out. Of course, he indeed has a bloody disaster.”
The girl said helplessly, “Grandpa, it’s enough for you to deceive others. Why are you still lying to me?
Don’t lie too much. Do you really think you are a fortune–teller?”
The old man coughed and said, “I’m not lying. It’s because I know who he is.”
“Who is he?” the girl asked.
“I can’t say it. I can’t.” The old man raised his head again and looked in Gerald’s direction. He
murmured, “How much is his information worth if I sell it to someone? It won’t be enough to buy his
information with 500 lucs. It can be sold for at least 1,000 lucs.”
