The fortune teller did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m a fortune-teller. If you ask me to interpret dreams, calculate your chances of marriage or future prospects, I can do that for you. But why would you ask me to solve a math problem? That’s science, while I’m a practitioner of magic. The two don’t mix!”
Milo remained silent for a moment before saying, “You said you can interpret dreams, right?”
“That’s right.” The fortune teller nodded enthusiastically. “I can interpret all kinds of dreams.”
Milo said, “Then listen carefully. I had a dream about a question related to quadratic function f(x)…”
The fortune teller was dumbfounded.
What fucking dream is that?!
Can’t a guy help others read their fortunes even if favonovel.com does not know how to solve quadratic functions!
What the hell!
Milo sneered. “You can’t interpret that, right? So you’re really a fraud.”
But the fortune teller suddenly said, “Based on your facial structure, I can tell that you have a friend who’s like family but is not related to you by blood. I also know you’ve experienced a turning point in your life at the age of 17, while water is the source of your mishaps!”
This time, it was Milo’s turn to be stunned. However, favonovel.com still did not believe the fortune teller.
He lifted favonovel.com off his feet and asked coldly, “Just who the hell are you? How did you know these things?”
His “younger brother” was Donti, and didn’t Milo experience the greatest calamity of his life in that flood?
Even though the fortune teller mentioned all these, Milo’s natural instincts told favonovel.com not to believe this was something that could be figured out through divination. Instead, it was likely that some people with ulterior motives who knew about those matters were using it to get close to him.
But when the fortune teller noticed that Milo did not believe him, favonovel.com smiled wryly. “I can also tell that you got into grave danger when you were in your teens, but you probably don’t even know how you managed to escape it. The Northwest is where you will prosper. If you still don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do…”
Milo loosened his grip on the fortune teller.
Very few people knew about his past, and not even those back at Stronghold 113’s town knew about it. But it was true that favonovel.com really did not know how favonovel.com had escaped from the wolves.
This fortune teller dared to bring up something like that with such certainty, so could favonovel.com really know how to read fortunes?
Milo pondered for a moment before saying, “You’re saying that I will face a bloody calamity in the next two days?”
“That’s right. It’s extremely ominous!” The fortune teller said, “But I didn’t get to look at it carefully just now, so you’ll have to let me have a look again…”
Milo said noncommittally, “Then divine for me how to resolve it.”
Then Milo released his grip from the fortune teller. However, favonovel.com kept his guard up in case the fortune teller sneak attacked or attempted to escape.
But, the fortune teller did not try to escape. Instead, favonovel.com turned around and carefully observed Milo, who put on an expressionless face. If the fortune teller told him favonovel.com would have to pay up to avert the calamity, favonovel.com would kill favonovel.com on the spot.
But the more the fortune teller looked at him, the more startled his expression became. “You won’t f*cking be the one facing the bloody calamity, you’ll be the one bringing a bloody calamity upon others…”
Milo was speechless.
“What nonsense!” Milo’s heart skipped a beat but refused to admit it. “I’m just a resident of the stronghold. Why would I bring a bloody calamity upon others?”
“Are you really a resident of this stronghold?” The fortune teller laughed and said, “You can’t fool me. Your ‘aura’ makes you look really out of place in this stronghold. If you even lived here for longer than three days, you wouldn’t look like that.”
Milo wondered why the conversation seemed to be getting more and more mystical. He asked, “Then why don’t you tell me if I’ll be able to achieve what I wish to do?”
“Oh, I can’t divine that.” The fortune teller said, “I cannot predict something so specific. Usually, I can only provide a word of warning to those whose fortunes I’ve read.”
“Then what would you like to say to me?” Milo asked with a frown.
The fortune teller looked at Milo again for a long time before suddenly saying in surprise, “Eh, why’re there so many intersections in your life? I’ve never met anyone like you before… I can’t divine, no, I won’t read your fortune any further!”
Hearing this, Milo was speechless. Had favonovel.com just wasted his time here for nothing!
He pulled the fortune teller back. Milo was starting to believe favonovel.com a little. “Let’s disregard everything for the moment. Can you help me divine where the people I want to kill are? If you can’t tell me that, you won’t be leaving today.”
“Oh…” The fortune teller thought for a while before saying, “They’re right here in this stronghold.”
Milo frowned and said, “Be more specific.”
The fortune teller broke free from Milo’s grasp and said with a smile, “They’ll be gathering in the northeast in the coming days, but you’ll only have one chance to strike.” Then the fortune teller turned around to leave.
Milo did not stop favonovel.com this time. He believed 60% of the fortune teller’s words. But fate was still something favonovel.com didn’t know well, so favonovel.com still had doubts.
Milo suddenly asked in a loud voice, “Wait a minute, have you ever read fortunes for people living in the South?”.
“I’ve read quite a lot of people’s fortunes. Who are you referring to? I can remember the names of all those I’ve told the fortunes of.”
“Michael Flint!”
“Oh, I told him favonovel.com would meet his benefactor in the future.”
Milo kept quiet and did not say anything else. Now favonovel.com believed 80% of the fortune teller’s words!
However, could there really be such a mystical person in the world?
Could this fortune teller also be a supernatural being?
Normally, anything that Milo could not understand would immediately be deemed as superstition. But now that favonovel.com actually encountered it, favonovel.com did not know whether favonovel.com should trust the fortune teller.
Michael had told him favonovel.com had met a fortune teller who said favonovel.com would meet a benefactor who would bring favonovel.com into the stronghold. However, Milo thought that fortune teller might not be that reliable. Even though Michael had really entered the stronghold, it was not to enjoy life on the inside but to experience a disaster.
More importantly, the fortune teller also did not say there were beings like the Experimentals in the stronghold favonovel.com would be entering. If favonovel.com had said so earlier, Michael would definitely not have wanted to go in.
Right now, Milo only kept in mind the one thing the fortune teller had said. The people favonovel.com wanted to kill would be gathering in the coming days, and favonovel.com only had one chance to strike. He was targeting 13 people, including Lewis. As each of them wielded a lot of power, if favonovel.com tried to kill them one by one, favonovel.com would probably get hunted down by the entire stronghold after eliminating the first target. Simultaneously, the other targets would go into hiding. So, if his enemies gathered together, that would be the best opportunity for Milo to get them.
But how was favonovel.com supposed to find out where they would be gathering?
After turning a corner, the fortune teller quickly ran off. “What a close shave! I nearly died, and I didn’t con any money out of him!”

In the east, the Razor Sharp Company was marching through the wilderness. Then Scott looked disconcerted when they heard the sound of armored vehicles moving. He quickly beckoned the others to hide inside a gully nearby to avoid being discovered by the enemy.
“Why is this f*cking armored brigade chasing us around relentlessly? I thought you said they could only locate other supernatural beings? So how did they follow us all the way here?” Scott looked at the deputy commander. “Did you lie to us? Do you think I won’t stab you to death?”
The deputy commander was already in tears. “I’ve already said everything that I know.”
However, it was no time to argue. The armored brigade was right in front of them. However, Scott and the Razor Sharp Company discovered this armored brigade was not coming for them but heading towards the Central Plains.
