Chapter 357 Youâre a Liar Gerald was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and asked, âDid she ask you to do that?â
Claude blushed slightly and said, âShe said so. But I also want to take her with us...â
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 didnât explain much. He looked at Claude and said, âMan, you are young. After so many years, as a Watchman, you have experienced a lot. Why donât you experience love?â
âClaude curled his lips and said, âToo busy. I have no time to do that.â
At that point, Claude said with widely opened eyes, âDamn, how can you blame me? You speak as if you have been in love.â
Gerald pouted and said, âIâve been married before. It experienced more than love.â
Gerald seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said, âDamn. I forgot something just now.â
âWhat?â Claude asked.
âI forgot to ask Belinda for money,â Gerald said regretfully.
Claude frowned and said, âWhy donât we go back and ask her for some money?â
Gerald shook his head and said, âForget it, itâs 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 Theoâs income from Malcolm should be good.â
Gerald had never had any concept of money. He felt it would be good if he had money to spend.
He wouldnât stop working in the bar. After all, he could gather a lot of information there.
Claude nodded and said, âAll right. Shall we continue working tonight?â
Gerald nodded and said, âYes.â
They ran towards Rogerâs house. After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at Rogerâs house. When they were about to enter the house, Gerald suddenly turned his eyes to the opposite side of Rogerâs 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 fortuneâteller.
His clothes were tattered, and he looked somewhat similar to the tramp from yesterday.
Of course, Geraldâs 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, âGuys. Do you want to know your fortune?â
Gerald and Claude looked at each other.
Something was wrong. In the slums of Sin City, such a beautiful girl couldnât 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 girlâs appearance was very topânotch, 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, âHow much is it?â
The old man with sunglasses smiled, âYou live opposite?â
Gerald nodded and said, âYes.â
âThe people living opposite have won us a peaceful street for the poor. Although we donât know how long the peace will last, if the people from the opposite side come to know their fortunes, I wonât charge them,â the old man said with a smile.
Claude pouted and said, âFortunes... Is it accurate?â
âWhether it is accurate or not depends on you,â the old man smiled. âDo you want to try it?â
Anyway, it was free. Gerald also wanted to know more about this person. He smiled, âYes. What do you need me to do?â
âDonât do anything,â the old man said. âI am best at touching the bones.â
Then he stood up, walked to Geraldâs side, and touched Geraldâs head back and forth.
âWhat?â 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, âYoung man. You will have a bloody disaster recently.â
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, âI wonder if there is a way to resolve it?â
. The old man smiled, âIt is not difficult to resolve it.â
As he said that, he stretched out 5 fingers and said, â500 lucs. I think it should be worth it to save your life.â
Gerald pouted. As expected, it wasnât free. Yes, the old man said it was free. But he would use the soâcalled bloody calamity to make his customers pay. It was a trick of an old swindler.
âCome on. You should improve your tricks,â Claude said with disdain.
âWell. If you believe it, it will happen. If you donât believe it, then forget about it. When you really have a bloody calamity, it will be too late to find a way. Itâs worth paying 500 lucs to know how to protect yourself. Iâm not fooling you,â the old man said smilingly.
âBut if you promise me a request, I can tell you for free.â
Gerald asked with interest, âWhat request?â
âYou marry my granddaughter,â 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, âGrandpa. Iâm only 17 years old.â
âWhatâs wrong with age? When your grandmother was young, she had already given birth to your father,â the old fortuneâteller said.
Gerald waved his hand and said, âForget it then. Sheâs still underage. When she grows up, I can consider it. Fine. Iâm going home.â
âYoung man. Whenever you think it through, you can come and find me,â the fortuneâteller continued. â500 lucs for your life. And you can spend the same money buying information about Sin City. I will not fool you. And I think youâll need it.â
Gerald didnât believe it at all. He stood up and returned to the house with Claude.
While seeing the twoâs backs, the fortuneâteller narrowed his eyes slightly and put a pair of sunglasses on his eyes.
Beside him, the girl gritted her teeth and said, âGrandpa, when I saw you touching his head, your hands were trembling. Is there anything wrong with that person?â
âYes, badly wrong,â the old man exhaled and said. âItâs 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.â
The girl said helplessly, âGrandpa, itâs enough for you to deceive others. Why are you still lying to me? Donât lie too much. Do you really think you are a fortuneâteller?â
The old man coughed and said, âIâm not lying. Itâs because I know who he is.â
âWho is he?â the girl asked.
âI canât say it. I canât.â The old man raised his head again and looked in Geraldâs direction. He murmured, âHow much is his information worth if I sell it to someone? It wonât be enough to buy his information with 500 lucs. It can be sold for at least 1,000 lucs.â
