Chapter 870
870 Meeting
On the first day of the law firm’s establishment, although there wasn’t much business, the name of the law firm quickly spread around Lakeside Street. All of this was thanks to Xia Pingan’s good neighbor, Mrs. Margaret.
After finding out that Xia Pingan knew divination, Mrs. Margaret started to talk about her shopping in the market in the morning, trying on clothes at the tailor shop, and having afternoon tea at her friends ‘houses in the afternoon. All the housewives on the street nearby and Mrs. Margaret’s circle of friends basically knew about it.
However, everyone still had a lot of doubts about Xia Pingan’s divination abilities. Everyone was still observing, especially when they found out about Xia Pingan’s age and the cost of one divination from Mrs. Margaret. Many people’s reactions were to widen their eyes and then have all kinds of unfriendly speculations.
is that Xia Pingan crazy? or is he a liar? ”
who knows? maybe that young man is really capable, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a young fortune-teller. I wonder if any of you would like to give it a try. Mara, haven’t you always wanted to find someone to divine for you? ” Mrs. Margaret, who was having her afternoon tea, spoke to the woman beside her in a noble tone.
forget it. Compared to these new fortune-tellers, I trust a master like ansofer more. I’ve already joined his Spirit Club. The next time he comes to Koland, I’ll be able to personally look for him for a divination. Besides, Xia Pingan’s fees don’t seem like a newbie’s at all. In this line of work, isn’t it true that the older the fortune-teller, the more experience they have? ”
Margaret, what does that young fortune-teller look like? ” In the teahouse, another tall, voluptuous, and beautiful woman spoke with interest. She looked at Mara and raised her eyebrows provocatively. A hint of a smile appeared on her sexy lips. I’m the opposite of Mara. As long as it’s young, I’m interested. I like young fortune-tellers more. I don’t have such a friend around me. If he’s capable, I can consider letting him become my personal fortune-teller, Jiejie.
The woman who spoke was Caitlin, a beautiful woman in a low-cut dress with a dazzling diamond necklace around her neck. She had three husbands-a businessman, a banker, and a mine owner. Unfortunately, her three husbands all passed away early after they married, and they didn’t have any children with her. So, she inherited the wealth of her husbands before she was in her thirties, and became the richest and most beautiful widow in Corland. In such afternoon tea parties, he often unconsciously became the core of the group.
Mrs. Margaret covered her mouth with her fan and laughed. yes, that Xia Pingan is a very energetic young man. He should be less than 20 years old. He has a very good body, and he has a tall and straight figure. His black eyes and black hair are as deep and charming as the night sky. I feel that he is very different from ordinary young people. At first glance, he may not be considered a handsome man, but if you look at him again, you can feel that he is an attractive gentleman!
I can’t help but want to see him after hearing what you said, Chenchen. Caitlin smiled and took a sip of tea.
Caitlyn, you really should find a husband and get married. The business manager from last time is actually not bad, Yingluo, ” a woman next to her said.
Kathrin sighed and shook her head. I don’t think so. Being a rich and beautiful widow is much more interesting than being someone’s wife. If I get married, I can only have one husband, but now, I can change my boyfriend at any time. Besides, the whole of corand knows that I’m a Black Widow. I know what my reputation is like. Those men who dare to take the risk to marry me probably don’t like me, but my wealth. Instead of fighting with those people … Why don’t I have more freedom by myself?”
……
Xia Pingan’s divination fee this time, the standard he set, was 100 Thales for one divination.
100 Thales might not be a big deal for the rich, but it was not a small amount for the ordinary working class. For example, when Xia Pingan was working as a hotel security guard, he only made a little more than 100 Thales a year.
This price was something that ordinary people would never be able to accept.
Of course, Xia Pingan did not plan to earn the living expenses of ordinary people. The reason why he opened the law firm was to earn money to buy realm beads and obtain cultivation resources. Therefore, the position of this law firm was to take the high-end route from the beginning and serve the rich. Xia Pingan also knew that such a law firm would not have good business at the beginning. However, once it made a name for itself and had a fixed number of customers and reputation, it would be easy to make money.
He only hoped that this time, the law firm would not be like the Zhou Gong building last time, being forced to close down before it was even open for business.
Although the firm had already been listed, Xia Pingan still felt a little uneasy and worried. This was because he didn’t know if the killing order from the ruling Demon God was still effective in the heavenly realm, or if there was still a group of terrifying Summoners looking for him all over the world. Moreover, his name was still Xia Pingan. He didn’t know if this was a coincidence or fate, but it was too conspicuous.
If the killing order from the demon God still existed, then he did not know when danger would come. Therefore, no matter what, there was only one path in front of Xia Pingan now, which was to obtain the realm Pearl as soon as possible to improve his strength at all costs. Only strength was what he could rely on to survive.
On the day of the law firm’s inauguration, Xia Pingan went to get a haircut. Then, he went to a well-known tailor shop to order a few sets of expensive clothes for himself. He also went to a hat shop to order a top hat and leather shoes. Since he was going to cut leeks for the rich, he had to make sure that his appearance and outfit did not make the rich think that it was cheap. The things he wore could not be cheaper than 100 Thales.
……
Early in the morning on the second day of the law firm’s opening, the weather was good. Xia Pingan dressed up neatly and walked out of 169 Binhu Street. After hanging a ” out on Business ” sign outside the door, he took out the ” brandy daily ” from the mailbox. Then, he went out on the road, called a rental carriage, and got in.
Today was the day that Mr. Coin would meet. He would also welcome his first mission as a night watchman. Xia Pingan attached great importance to this mission. Only when he did a good job as a night watchman could he talk about treatment with Mr. Coin.
looks like I’ll have to get a servant as soon as possible no matter if I hire one or summon one with my divine power. Otherwise, it won’t work if there’s no one to guard the office. Right, I should also buy a carriage to travel more conveniently. A fortune-teller who charges 100 Thales for one divination doesn’t have a private carriage when traveling. If I want a carriage, I’ll have to hire or summon a coachman. Aiya, this is really a bit of a headache, ” Xia Pingan said as he sat in the rental carriage and rubbed his temples. Looking at the scenery outside the window of the carriage, he felt that everything was complicated. Now, he really had to start from the beginning.
……
Less than 20 minutes after Xia Pingan left 169 Lakeside Street, a gorgeous white carriage pulled by two white horses stopped in front of 169.
The coachman was not tall, but he was as strong as a bear. He had a thick beard and a faint scar on his left cheek. The coachman stopped the carriage, went up the steps, and came to the door. He then noticed the ” out for business ” sign hanging on the door. Then the coachman came to the side of the carriage and gently knocked on the door. Madam, there’s no one in this office. There’s a sign on the door that says ” out for business “, ” he said.
The curtains of the car window were pulled open a little, revealing lady Caitlyn’s carefully decorated face. She glanced at the door and looked a little disappointed. forget it. Let’s go to the temple of the Lord, Yingluo.
“Yes, Madam!”
The coachman got back on the carriage, shook the reins, and the White carriage headed toward the temple of the Lord.
……
Forty minutes later, Xia Pingan’s rental carriage stopped, and the coachman opened the door for Xia Pingan. After paying the fare, Xia Pingan looked at the most ancient and grandest building in kiland-the temple of the Lord.
In front of the temple was a square. From the square to the entrance of the temple, there were 99 steps. On the steps, a row of huge pillars supported a magnificent and historical building.
On the highest point of the gate of the building, there was a relief of a six-wing King Roc, who was standing with its huge wings open and overlooking all the people entering the Hieron.
Seeing the statue of the six-winged ROC King, Xia Pingan couldn’t help but have a special feeling in his heart.
The heavenly realm was a world where multiple religions were allowed to exist. Take the redron Republic as an example, there were various temples in this country. However, among all the temples and religions in this world, the temple of domination was definitely the most important religion in the ruling position.
Many people were going in and out of the temple. Many of them were travel-worn, and it was obvious that they had come from a long way. For many devout believers, they began to prostrate themselves in worship outside the temple, and then entered the temple from the steps.
Xia Pingan followed the worshipping crowd up the 99 steps and finally entered the huge temple.
In the hieron’s Hall, there was a tall Joss of a God. What was most impressive was that the Joss was holding a small tree in one hand. According to the saying in the Devata realm, the small tree in the hand of the Joss symbolized the cause and effect law of the entire universe, stars and all the living beings. Everything was under the control of the Supreme God.
There were joss sticks and candles placed at the entrance of the temple. Xia Pingan and the other devout believers lit the joss sticks and walked inside.
Xia ping ‘an did not attend the worship ceremony. Instead, he walked towards a row of confession rooms in the temple. There were more than 30 confession rooms, and many people were waiting outside to enter and repent. Xia ping arranged the teams, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, the door of the confession room in front of him opened. An old woman who was confessing inside walked out with red eyes. Xia ping’ an then entered the confession room and closed the door.
The confessionary was less than one square meter in size. There was a stool inside that was just big enough for a person to sit on. It was like a small dark room. The room was specially constructed with the aura of divine power and arrays, which isolated all sounds and probes from the inside and outside. As soon as one entered the confessionary room, one would feel that everything around them had quieted down, as if they had come to a dark wilderness without anyone. It made one calm down at once and open up their heart.
There was only a palm-sized small window with a gauze in the confessionary room, through which people could hear the words of the priests in the hieron on the other side of the confessionary room. This was the place of absolute privacy.
A few seconds after Xia ping ‘an entered the confessional and sat down, he felt that another person had entered from the other side of the confessional. He seemed to be wearing a priest’s robe and was sitting opposite the small window, but he could not see his face clearly.
“Azheluo, have you come?” A gentle and familiar voice finally came from the other side of the small window.
It was Mr. Coin! Xia ping ‘an took a deep breath. Mr. Coin was really resourceful. He could come and go freely in the temple of domination. She didn’t know if he had a specific position here or if he just used the facilities here.
yes, I’m here. What’s the mission? ” Xia Pingan said calmly. He didn’t ask about Mr. Coin’s identity because it was unnecessary and against the rules.
“You know sieges kaneer?” Mr. Coin suddenly asked.
“I don’t know him. Who is this person?” Xia Pingan said without changing his expression. He wasn’t sure if this question was a test or if Mr. Coin knew something.
this man is a killer. According to the information we just received, he was hired to kill you on your way to Fort Andris, ” Mr. Coin’s voice was still calm.
“Oh, so that person is siegerskaner!” Xia Pingan looked relieved. I encountered an assassination on the train to andis Castle, but I killed the killer!
hehe, hehe. Mr. Coin chuckled. where’s the killer’s body? ”
“We were in a train carriage, and the body was not easy to deal with. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I threw the body into the deep valley outside the carriage!” Xia Pingan was speaking the truth, so she was exceptionally calm.
“Not bad, it seems that the night watchers didn’t choose the wrong person. You’re really outstanding to be able to kill such a seasoned killer like Higgs Kanell before entering the Andrea Castle for training!”
“Can you tell me how the investigation Bureau got this information? I’ve been investigating this matter these days, trying to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. According to the killer’s confession before he died, someone hired him to assassinate me!”
“Who do you think would want to hire a killer to kill you?” The coin asked.
among all the people I’ve offended, only one person has such strength. That person is called brother Petrek. He’s a very rich guest I offended when I was working as a security guard in a hotel. The process of my awakening as a God’s chosen one may also be related to this person, ” Xia Pingan said.
