Chapter 347 - Agatha (45) <2-in-1> (1/2)

The medium was just a couple of steps away, her hand reaching for his head.

Alarm bells were ringing inside to warn him of the oncoming danger. Yet his eyes were still speaking to Margarette.

Jiang Li wondered. When did the medium's weight in Margarette's heart become greater than his? His wife was standing by that woman's side!

Was there something going on behind the scenes that he just didn't know?

Everything had been odd in his eyes. Only a few hours ago, he was with the girl and they were okay. Then all of a sudden, she began acting so not like her which led to this situation. Why couldn't she just continue lying at home? Did she know her actions disturb many people's sleep and caused him so much trouble?

'Your husband is in danger.' Before the fortune-teller reached him, he gave the girl one last look of pleading. 'Go to me, alright?' his gaze said.

He was ready to forget all this madness and treat it as her being manipulated by the medium, as long as she heeds his eyes. In his imagination, already playing was her figure repenting for the hesitation she showed earlier by immediately going to his side. Once that happened, he would then use whatever means in his disposal, the system if needed, to leave that space.

However, what he was hoping in his mind did not happen. Margarette stayed where she was. ”Teacher, I'm sorry for troubling you to rouse his memories.”

Laughter rang. ”It is no trouble if it's for my dearest student. After all, I am the older one here and it's my job to understand a young woman's longing for a chivalrous and manly knight. In a moment, he will be the honorable man you wanted to see in him, a general, and not the homeless fake messenger who loves to deceive people.”

That simple exchange made Jiang Li silent. He was shaken. He didn't know what to say after discovering that his wife's incarnation in this world was only fierce in commerce and black arts, and extremely stupid outside of that.

However, when he determined that Margarette really had no whatsoever plan to move, he knew there was nothing more to consider. His face fell. The world instantly became monochrome in his sight and he suddenly wanted to become crazy.

'Host.' The mechanical voice rang when Jiang Li was throwing the fortune-teller a death stare.

The guy jolted out of his thoughts and his eyesight regained clarity. Right. He was betrayed. So he was still in danger. He was in a bitter situation where nobody would save him.

'Yeah, I can only count on myself now.' He laughed, telling himself too that there was no way he would allow another being to tamper with his brain.

A second after that, all urges and emotions disappeared from his eyes. The youth seemed to have sobered up.

At that moment, Jiang Li had come up with a decision and his aura suddenly shot up, it became very suffocating for those around.

A flash of surprise crossed the fortune-teller's eyes. ”A takeover?”

She was referring to Jiang Li's abrupt change that made him seem like a different person, a person possessed by a higher being.

The fortune-teller's hand that was only a couple of inches away hurriedly withdrew. She retreated a few more steps and then gave her previous spot a dumbfounded look.

”Margarette don't come near. It has become dangerous!” In a grave tone, the woman said.

Margarette's body shook. She watched with wide eyes as Jiang Li suddenly escape from the chair where he was supposed to, bound with some invisible power. When he reappeared several meters back, only a few steps away from the exit, he was no longer looking at her.

”General?” Like a foolish girl, she called out upon seeing the unnerving change in him.

However, the man did not reply to her. He did not even look at her.

Jiang Li, whose eyes and hair turned white, locked gazes with the violet-dressed woman.

”I hope the Heavens punish you with death, Fortune-Teller,” he said to her, his rage barely concealed by his icy voice.

The fortune-teller replied after recovering her calm. ”I'm afraid that wouldn't happen. I violated no law as I know about it more than you. When you asked me where Margarette is, I later showed you that she is here.”

She looked at Margarette and signaled for her to step back again.

”Is that so?” he asked emotionlessly. He let out a satirical laugh, ”How shameless. What do you call your ridiculous deeds towards Margarette and the others? And just now, was that what you meant for saying you came for me in this world apart from Dong Lan?” He referred to the attempt to mess with his memories.

Seeing the ice that was spreading throughout the room starting from the side nearest to him, the woman also repeatedly backed away.

The ice was unforgiving, devouring living and non-living things on its way before shattering them into ice powder. It perfectly showed its creator's mood.

Jiang Li had prepared for this situation ever since he inferred the other's presence in this place so he had inquired from the system what he could do to increase his strength to the limit. This was the result. An answer that of course began to burn his points faster than ever. While Jiang Li did not protest, he felt a searing pain in his heart, both for the depletion rate of his points, and the reason why he had to burn those points.

The uncontrollable rage and pain manifested into something no mortal could achieve.
