Re: Evolution Online - Chapter 713 Good Fortune! Great Fortune!

713 Good Fortune! Great Fortune!

"Yes, my lady. Only one gold coin to know your future."

Alex gawked at the bald player, who somewhat resembled a monk. He was flashing an innocent divine smile that only great saints probably possessed.

One look at him and anyone would want to trust him instinctively. It was not a quality that could be pinpointed. It was just a feeling that the monk emanated. He just had that good guy/ saint tag attached to him.

However, Alex couldn't care less about all of this. What she cared about was… he was a fucking fortune teller! Was this really true or was this a bullshit scam?

If it was true, even by a small margin, she wouldn't hesitate to recruit this guy at all costs. She knew about the other fortune teller or prophet or whatever that bastard was who was against them.

So if she could somehow recruit this guy, then wouldn't that threat be totally nullified?

Alex's eyes twinkled as she continued gawking at the monk in front of her with twinkling eyes as if he was a walking pile of good luck and good fortune.

Coincidentally, the other party also had a similar smile. The two looked at each other as if they wanted to swallow each other whole, but who was going to succeed?

"Here. Take this gold coin." Alex handed over the payment swiftly. The monk also smiled and accepted it. Immediately, he closed his eyes and started mumbling something.

He then flashed his eyes open with a serious expression. "What? What happened? I mean, is something big going to happen?" Alex asked anxiously.

"Blessings. Blessings. No need to worry. There is absolutely no need to worry at all. You will have good fortune. Great fortune. In fact, you will get to meet your biggest benefactor today."

"Huh?"

"The person whom you have been waiting for all these days and dying to meet will show up today in front of you all on their own."

"Mia!" Alex gasped. Was Mia really going to come back today? She was really going to meet with her? She no longer even cared about the monk. As long as Mia was back, everything was going to be fine.

Ever since she had gone missing, Alex had been worried sick. So she even became teary-eyed at the thought that Mia was finally going to be back today.

"Sir, are you sure?" Alex asked the monk once again, only to find out that he was no longer standing in front of her. "What the hell?" Her eyes widened in shock.

How the hell did this person manage to disappear right in front of her? One second he was there and the next second he was missing? Did he know some sort of teleportation skill?

She looked around for him for a little while, but the person was nowhere to be seen. He had really disappeared. "Damn it. I should have asked for a friend request first." Alex cursed her stupidity and silently walked back to the class hall in deep thought.

Sure, she regretted losing the monk, but what she was more concerned about was Mia. Was she really going to meet with her again today? She opened her system interface to once again check if Mia's name was still greyed out. Unfortunately, that hadn't changed.

"Come on. Come on." She was walking carelessly and muttering to herself when she abruptly bumped into someone. "Oh, sorry." Alex sighed and stepped aside to walk around the person she had rammed into.

But unexpectedly, that certain someone put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hmmm?" Alex paused, and when she turned around, she saw a familiar face, but not the one that she wanted to meet. Instead, their sleaze bag uncle, Jonathan Hofstader, was standing in front of her.

"Well, hello there." Jonathan laughed with his trademark big, cocky grin. "If it isn't my dearest Alex… how have you been, my darling? Did you miss this uncle too much?"

Alex's face immediately changed. This was the last person she wanted to see on this planet. "Bastard." She clenched her fists and seethed.

"Ha Ha Ha. It seems you haven't changed a bit. You're still as rude and uncouth as ever. My dear, you are a grown woman now." Jonathan licked his lips as he dragged his gaze from top to bottom of the fuming redhead in front of him.

"Grown up very nicely, I must add. Try to be more pleasant. Otherwise, no man would ever be interested in what is there underneath all these layers of armor. Learn from Mia. She knows how to seduce."

"SHUT UP! SHUT THE HELL UP!" Alex couldn't stand Mia's name coming out of the sleazebag's mouth. She immediately drew her weapon out and stepped forward threateningly, but Jonathan did not seem to be concerned at all.

"I dare you, my dear. I dare you to lay a hand on me." He casually laughed.

Alex knew that the guy was purposefully trapping her, so she gritted her teeth and controlled herself. She banged her sword on the ground and decided to walk away. This bitch was not worth ruining her start in the Empire.

"Heh." Jonathan chuckled. "Leaving so soon? Why? Did Mia call you? Oh wait, that's right. The prodigal daughter is missing, isn't she?"

The man's words made Alex stop right in her tracks. How did he know this? She then shook her head. No, many people knew about this. So it was not a big deal.

As if he could read her mind, Jonathan laughed again. "I know where she is."

"Where is she?" Alex asked, swallowing her pride and anger.

"That's not how business transactions work, my dear. You need to do something for me first."

"What do you want?" She gritted her teeth.

"I want you, of course."

Alex clenched her fist and started walking away again.

"I am kidding. I am kidding. I don't have any interest in a wild tigress. I would rather have your ice princess. What I am interested in is your guild. How about you hand me over one of the legendary items your guild possesses, I will immediately tell you where Mia is."
