Moon Warriors novel Chapter 56

The second day witnessed an activity hosted by the Turner family.

The Turner family once again booked the whole F.K. International Hotel for cooperation with the Bates family in River Capital. After losing face in the Martin family last time, Isaac was bound to redeem his reputation.

The Bates family in River Capital was a family firm, the assets of which could compete against Ray.

Thus, this was a grand activity, bigger than that of last time.

A number of the participants commended the Turner family for being so competent to forge a cooperation with such an influential family. Normally, such an influential family in River Capital would never take a small family in K City into account。

However, the Turner family made it.

The activity had not started when Andrew and Emily arrived.

Not far from the gate of F.K. International Hotel, there was an old-aged male street vendor, who had attracted many attentions of people on the street.

When Andrew and Emily were walking on the street, they heard some discussion.

“This blind old man is really impressive. Just with a touch, he can tell my husband’s family background.”

“If I was not married, I would not buy it. But I have already been married. So, it’s really impressive that he can actually tell it correctly”

“I will take my daughter to him some other day to foresee my future son-in-law.

Women’s curiosity was ten times stronger than that of men. On hearing of this, Emily was suddenly curious about it.

“Andrew, let’s go and take a look”

Andrew never rejected Emily’s request, so he just nodded and said “okay”.

After a while, they came to a place crowded with people. In the center of the crowd stood a blind old man wearing worn-out yet clean antique cambric shirt. He had long grey hair and mustache, looking like an immortal in a way.

In front of him laid a number of colorful stones. These colors were rare to see, but people in this bustling city preferred only jewelry and jade. No one showed any interest in what laid in front of him.

Near the stones, there was a board saying “fortune-teller based on physiognomy for women only”

The board was much given to speculation. If he’s not an old man, people would speculate that he aimed to flirt with women by reading their faces.

There used to be a person who could tell fortune by touching the breasts and only the breasts of women. The fortune-teller was then reported by someone and arrested.

When they approached, many people were talking about the remarkable stories of the old man.

“It’s very accurate, even more accurate than what others were told based on their date of birth.”

“Just a slight touch, he can tell the name of her husband, it’s incredible.”

“I think the old man is an immortal descending to the earth for a patrol.”

At this time, a woman was squatting in front of the old man. He was touching the woman’s palm, from fingertip to arm and from little finger to thumb. Whenever he was touching the joints, he would stop and meditate for a while.

Three minutes later, he laid the woman’s hand down and said, “Madam, you are from an ordinary family and both of your parents are ordinary workers. However, you are married to a good man, who, if I didn’t make it wrong, is home to a hotel, a big hotel.”

The woman covered her mouth surprisingly and said, “You’re very right. You’re a remarkable immortal.”

The old man smiled and dropped into silence.

Emily had a look at Andrew and whispered, “I want to see if he really knows everything.”

Then she squatted in front of the old man, reached her hand out to the man and said, “how about my fortune?”

The old man refused nobody and said with a smile, “Okay!”

He then raised his hand and started touching the hand of Emily, from thumb to little finger. After that, the old man’s expression suddenly changed and he seemed quite surprising.

He touched her hand again from little finger to thumb, for several times. Then he stood up out of the blue. He made a 90-degree bow to Emily with great respect.

This act confused Emily. She immediately held out her hands to steady him and said, “Why you bow to me?”

The old man said seriously, “Miss, I don't dare to say anything with respect to your bone structure”

Being stunned, Emily turned to Andrew and said in a smile, “just tell me, don’t be afraid”

The old man said respectfully, “Madam, if I didn’t make it wrong, your husband is a general. He is on the battlefield all the year round guarding a place. And he earned his reputation and leadership while he is very young.”

His words confused Emily when everyone on the spot began to point at and discuss about Emily.

“Who’s she? Why she has such a capable husband?”

“Something is wrong. War has not been heard for years in this era.”

“…”

Emily glanced at Andrew and said, “Mr., are you sure? My husband is indeed a soldier, but he has already discharged from the army. How come he is a general?”

The old man laughed out loud and said with a smile, “I have told the fortune of many people and I’m pretty sure about what I said!”

Andrew raised his hand, held Emily’s hand and said, “Let’s go. He is talking nonsense.”

Emily nodded and followed Andrew out of the crowd.

Andrew was Emily’s husband, but how came he was a general?

“It’s so strange that he can tell the fortune of others correctly, but when it comes to me, why he can’t make it right?” Emily felt helpless. She then sighed and said, “Is he talking about my next husband?”

Hearing her words, Andrew’s expression changed slightly and then said with a smile, “Maybe you are right.”

Though he said so, Andrew’s heart did experience some ups and downs.

This old man was definitely not an average person.

The crowd didn’t stop discussing even after Andrew and Emily left. People wouldn’t stop asking just because he told someone’s fortune wrong. Driven by curiosity, people continued.

Emily turned her head to the old man, looked at him and pouted, “Hey! It’s so confusing that he tells other people’s fortune correctly. But why he said my husband is a general. Oh, Andrew, do you think there is general in this era?”

Andrew dropped into silence, nodded his head slightly and said, “Maybe!”

“Let’s go. The activity is about to start!”

Pointing at the hotel, Andrew said. At this time, a lot of people had already been entering into the hotel in an endless stream.

Emily nodded her head and walked into F.K. International Hotel with Andrew. As soon as they got in, Jason and Cayden came into their eyes. With each holding one lady in arm, Jason and Cayden were both in full-dress, which looked as if they were well dressed for this ball.

At sight of Emily and Andrew together, they remembered last time in Investment Conference hosted by Ray, the richest person in southwest region, when Andrew was kicked out.

They exchanged eye contact and then harboring malicious intentions, walked towards Emily and Andrew.
