Chapter 1816 Calculating Destiny (1/2)

”What bet?” Yisha asked expressionlessly.

”I will pick someone whose life is comparable to an ant, and if you can make him challenge his fate by gaining independence from you and becoming a duke, then I lose. I will find the person that you want me to find. How does that sound?” the man said seriously.

”What if I accomplish the task and you fail to find the man that I want?” Yisha said with confidence.

”If I cannot deliver this man to you directly, then my head is yours to remove. If you want it, you can just tell me. You don't have to get your hands dirty if you don't want to.” The man looked serious, and it didn't look as if he was joking.

”Okay. Who said an ant's fate is fixed? Even if he is just a dumb guy with geno armor, I'll make him a Duke in three years,” Yisha agreed.

She really hated Dollar. She wanted to kill him, but she had been unable to find him, so using this fortune-teller might be her best option. Raising a Duke was not difficult. She did not think it would be a trying task, and she didn't believe in fate.

”Not many people are truly talented. Most of them are ants by default. So, just go ahead and pick anyone.” The man randomly pointed. ”What about him? If you don't think he is suitable, pick another. They are all ants.”

”No, it's fine. I'll choose him then. Just in case you would later find fault with my selection.” Yisha looked at the person the man pointed at as she spoke coldly.

”I am quite famous and known by many races. There is no chance of escaping this bet You, however, are trying to challenge your own fate. I must warn you to be careful.” The man smiled.

”In three years, I will come looking for you. If you are unable to find him, don't blame me for what happens.” Yisha walked up to the person that had been pointed out to her.

The person on the street had no clue what was going on. But he was suddenly pulled in by a weird power, and then he disappeared completely.

Yisha took the man and left. Her power vanished with her, and when the fortune-teller appeared again, the Kate behind him almost walked into him.

When he saw Yisha disappear, he smiled strangely. He continued walking, carrying his small banner. If Han Sen had seen the banner, he would have understood the words. They read, Calculating Destiny in the human language.

The man disappeared into the crowds. He did not look strange. He was a drop of water in the midst of the throng of people. ***

Han Sen walked down a street filled with people, thinking about how he might get to Seven Mirrors.

Planet Kate had almost fallen completely, and when it did, the Taurus would rule it Han Sen couldn't live there much longer, and he knew he would have to leave soon. But he couldn't get on the ship as there were already too many people trying to get off the planet. If he showed he was a Noble, he could probably board a ship immediately, without the need to queue.

But Han Sen wouldn't do that. If he did, Yisha might find him. And if she did, that would be bad. After leaving Demon Grave, Han Sen knew he didn't stand a chance against a deified elite. They could kill him with the greatest of ease.
