Chapter 74

PS: Thank you to reader 131124002710788 for the tip.

Zhou Shunzhang sat back down.

"To be honest, I never used to believe in fate. Even if I did, I believed that fate is in one's own hands. Mr. Zhao, I wonder why you asked such a question?"

Zhao Zhiqiang's blood and the spirit produced by his own body were being processed by the copper coin to refine spirit energy. His physical strength slowly recovered, and his voice became a bit stronger.

"Mr. Zhou, what you are asking about is not your own safety, but the safety of your family. Recently, various strange events have been happening in your home. Your half-brother has been fighting, and your two younger daughters have been sick. You are worried about them, which is why you came to seek blessings, correct?" As Zhao Zhiqiang spoke, he felt like he was becoming a fortune-teller.

Zhou Shunzhang's face turned pale.

What a great master...

These two events, no one in the country knew about, not even Jin Mingzhe!

Zhou Shunzhang knew he had come to the right person today!

He no longer dared to be arrogant and quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Sir, I do not disrespect those who believe in fate and feng shui. Please forgive me. May I ask, is safety related to fate?"

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, "Life is determined by fate. The four fortunes of blessings, rank, wealth, and longevity are all aligned. Since you don't believe in fate, let's talk about something unrelated to fate. What you want to ask, is it about what I mentioned earlier?"

"That's right." Zhou Shunzhang still didn't believe in fate. Many people had read his fortune before, and the results were always similar, like great fortune and smooth sailing. What he cared about was still the safety of his family.

"Alright, I will give you a hint. To save the lives of your descendants, how much are you willing to pay, Mr. Zhou?" Zhao Zhiqiang smiled. The spirit energy had recovered a bit, enough for him to move, which was much better than needing half a day before.

Zhou Shunzhang was stunned.

Descendants' lives, what does that mean?

Zhou Shunzhang thought about it. No wonder he didn't accept the five million dollar card earlier. If this master knew his net worth was several billion and only offered five million dollars, he wouldn't have accepted it.

Seeing him dazed, Zhao Zhiqiang thought he was being too greedy with the price and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, the price is from the heart. A man of his word, once spoken, must be fulfilled."

A promise is a promise, not only for ancient emperors but also for Zhao Zhiqiang, who controlled the copper coin. It was a form of almsgiving.

Zhou Shunzhang understood. This was "pay as you wish."

As the saying goes, sincerity makes the spirit work. In many masters, Taoist temples, and Buddhist monasteries, it's the same. If you have a connection, giving one dollar is the same as giving ten thousand. Spending money to buy peace.

Although this master didn't seem to perform any rituals, he was definitely a master of fate, a fortune-teller in common terms!

"Master, for the safety of my two sons and two daughters, I am willing to pay one hundred million dollars!" After saying this, he was about to call Jin Mingzhe, "Xiao Zhe, call Assistant Su..."

Zhao Zhiqiang raised his hand to stop him, "Wait. Mr. Zhou, there's no need. One hundred million dollars is too much. Of course, life is priceless, but one hundred million dollars is nothing compared to your descendants. However, I have my principles. One million dollars per life is enough. What I need is your attitude of sparing no expense."

Although Zhou Shunzhang had money, he didn't want to be taken for a fool, especially by someone like this.

Deep down, he looked down on people who made a living from mysticism. Although he appeared very respectful on the surface, the pride in his heart was obvious to Zhao Zhiqiang, who could sense it without looking.

Hearing this, Zhou Shunzhang felt ashamed. The amount he offered earlier was a big decision for him. It wasn't that he didn't care about his children's lives, but at that moment, he really hesitated and doubted.

He wanted to see how the master would react to one hundred million dollars.

He didn't expect the master to just test his sincerity. One million dollars per life was actually a bit low, but he wanted to see if the master's words were true.

He pushed the five million dollar card over, gave the password, and repeatedly apologized, then carefully sat back down. In his mind, he wondered if this young man had some kind of investigation organization behind him.

How could he know so clearly about what was happening with his family in South Korea?

Zhao Zhiqiang had already turned off his financial eye and didn't care what the man was thinking. He could tell from his eyes that he was waiting for an expected answer, not a sincere inquiry.

He had studied eye movements in psychology class. Zhao Zhiqiang knew exactly what Zhou Shunzhang was waiting for with just one glance.

"Mr. Zhou, besides your own children, are there other relatives helping you manage your business?" Zhao Zhiqiang lowered his head and thought for a moment, "This person is tall, about your height, often wears formal suits, and wears a jade ring on the index finger of his left hand. He is not yet thirty years old. This person is closely related to the problems with your family. That's all I can say. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

He unhesitatingly accepted the gold card. This was the payment for his words, which must be fulfilled.

Zhou Shunzhang was truly impressed.

This person, Zhao Zhiqiang, described the person in such detail, even mentioning specific features. In fact, the young master had never met the person he described.

Zhou Douniu, his nephew, had been working with him for over twenty years and was considered his right-hand man and trusted confidant.

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Ha ha, I'm not a master, just someone with a bit of supernatural ability. Mr. Zhou, you have to handle the specifics yourself. I can only give you these hints. Investigate carefully, and I believe you will find the answer."

With a goal and direction, it wasn't difficult for Zhou Shunzhang to investigate.

"Yes, yes. Master, thank you. Earlier, you mentioned fate. Could you give me some insight into that?" Zhou Shunzhang was puzzled. Zhao Zhiqiang could describe his nephew's features, but his nephew hadn't been in the country for half a year. Even if he made it up, he couldn't have known.

Zhao Zhiqiang chuckled, "Sorry, that's another question."

Zhou Shunzhang's heart sank.

It was over. He had been taken, and he had even delivered himself!

But how could he suppress his curiosity about what the master would reveal?

To describe his nephew's jade ring, whom he had never met, this master was truly extraordinary, yet he had been wary of him. Being taken was his own fault. When the master was about to speak, he didn't believe it. Whose fault was it?

"Master, I am willing to pay another five million dollars to learn about the fate you mentioned earlier. Is that too presumptuous?" Zhou Shunzhang, despite his pride, was now very serious and sincere.

In Zhao Zhiqiang's eyes, this was a fat sheep. One meal wasn't enough; he needed to be slowly butchered.

"Ha ha, no need, no need. Mr. Zhou, you are a great tycoon who has contributed to the country's economic development. I am just a wanderer, perhaps too worldly and materialistic in your eyes. Ha ha, actually, what I was going to ask, you might have already heard from other fortune-tellers. Your life is filled with boundless wealth. You started making a fortune at twenty-five and have now built a business empire worth several billion, enjoying all the glory and luxury in the world," Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, "However."

Zhou Shunzhang hurriedly asked, "However, what?" This "however" was something he had never heard from other fortune-tellers, who always spoke well of him!
