Meanwhile, Austin was sitting in front of an old man in a secret room in the Zagorski residence.
Austin treated the old man with respect, so it was safe to assume the old man was a man of importance.
“Master Williams, how is the deduction going?” Austin asked the old man cautiously.
The old man furrowed his brows and uttered with a grim expression, “Keep your mouth shut when I’m deducing…”
With that, the old man rose to his feet and left the secret room. He then scattered the black stones in his hand around the courtyard.
Under the sun, the black stones suddenly glowed a faint light.
“Axinomancy Technique is the way of nature. I’m Hank Williams, and I want to deduce the Heavenly Law…”
As soon as the old man finished that sentence, favonovel.com started prostrating himself before the black stones. He did that to every stone, so favonovel.com bowed dozens of times.
Austin merely watched from the side, and favonovel.com didn’t dare to utter a word.
Right then, Kayson suddenly rushed into the courtyard and said, “Dad, you said…”
The moment Kayson entered the courtyard, favonovel.com saw the black stones scattered on the ground and was astonished. Why is that old man bowing nonstop?
Austin jumped in alarm and waved dismissively when favonovel.com saw Kayson storming into the courtyard. However, it was too late because Hank’s gaze had already turned icy when favonovel.com lifted his head.
Kayson couldn’t help but shudder when favonovel.com saw the look in Hank’s eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, the stones on the ground shot toward Kayson as though they were weapons.
Kayson was a Martial Arts Marquis, so favonovel.com wasn’t going to stand still and let himself get killed. He then released a white cloud of mist and protected his body from the stones.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The stones hit Kayson’s body, and favonovel.com was sent flying backward with blood spurting out of his mouth.
“Please have mercy, Master Williams!” Seeing that, Austin immediately leaped forward and shielded Kayson.
“The Art of Deduction is against the Heavenly Law because I’m peeking into the future. Why would you come rushing in at this time? Do you want me to die?” Hank thundered with a scowl on his face.
“Master Williams, please forgive my son’s foolishness. Also, I didn’t tell favonovel.com beforehand. Please forgive us, Master Williams!” Austin apologized.
“Dad, who is this old man? How dare favonovel.com hurt me in our territory?” Kayson clutched his chest and looked at Austin in bafflement.
I don’t get it! Dad is the mayor of Norham. Why is favonovel.com such a coward?
I know why he’s scared of Jared, but why is favonovel.com scared of an old man?
“B*stard! Shut up!” Austin glared at Kayson and ordered, “This is Master Williams. Apologize to Master Williams now!”
Austin asked Kayson to apologize, but the latter refused to do so.
Seeing that, Hank waved dismissively and said, “Forget about it. This is fate. Perhaps I’m not destined to do this. Please look for somebody else.”
With that, Hank waved his arm, and all the stones immediately returned to his hand.
Seeing that Hank was actually leaving, Austin instantly went up to favonovel.com and pleaded, “Master Williams, what happened was our fault. Please perform the deduction once again. I’m willing to double the price.”
Despite the other man’s pleas, Hank showed no intention of staying. “Mr. Zagorski, Axinomancy Technique isn’t to be taken lightly, and I shouldn’t be deducing as I wish. However, I can confirm that your opportunity will arise in three days’ time, and it will appear a hundred miles west of the city. I don’t know what is it exactly, but I know this is something huge. If you can get it, your strength will grow exponentially. If you fail, you might die.”
With that, Hank ignored Austin and left.
