Xavier instantly felt deflated.

Renee was indeed not like ordinary women. She was way too smart. She could easily see through him.

It wasn’t as easy as he thought.

Never mind the other stuff—Xavier had spent the entire evening running around the dock, and he

couldn’t even find Renee. Defeated, that was when he finally went to Stefan to gather some intel.

Feeling a little awkward, Xavier tried to change the topic. “Stefan, what are you doing? You’re holding a

bamboo tube. Are you performing a magic trick?”

Stefan ignored Xavier and started to focus on shaking the bamboo tube.

After five or six shakes, a bamboo stick fell to the ground.

The old man picked it up and read the text on the stick, and a complicated expression emerged on his

face.

“What are you looking for, young man?” he asked.

“I want to know if she and I still have a chance,” Stefan said coldly.

Needless to say, by ‘she,’ he was referring to Renee.

The old man let out a long sigh. “The breeze comes and goes; the beginning and the end of fate

originates from the heart.”

Stefan frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Like the breeze, your fate with her is uncertain. You might say it’s over, but it’s not completely over.

Based on the bamboo stick’s inscription, you might have no contact with her whatsoever for the next

four years. What happens after four years depends entirely on the two of you. If you miss each other,

the energy field will grow, and there’s still a chance you might get back together. If either side gives up,

fate itself will mark the end of your relationship for good.”

The old man’s explanation was detailed and straightforward.

“…” Stefan seemed to be deep in thought. He remained silent for a long time.

Xavier, who was listening next to him, was extremely annoyed. “Tsk. You’re a con artist. You might as

well have said nothing. You say they’re over for good one second and the opposite in the next second.

That basically covers both the good and the bad.”

Xavier couldn’t resist consoling Stefan. “Stefan, don’t listen to this old man. I’ve already given the order

to seal the entire dock off. No matter where she hides, she won’t be able to escape. One of us will find

her first. You won’t have to wait for four years!”

The old man wasn’t upset. He stroked his beard. “Young man, if you’re not happy about what I said,

you can draw a bamboo stick of your own.”

Xavier reached for the bamboo tube. He closed his eyes and began shaking them.

Soon, a bamboo stick fell out.

“The phoenix has risen from the ash. Romance is a single step away!” Xavier read the words aloud. He

couldn’t conceal his excitement. “Hey, this is interesting! According to this, I’m about to get lucky. Will I

really be able to win Renee over?”

The old man chuckled. “This bamboo stick certainly is one that signifies very good fortune. It’s hinting

that you’ll meet the love of your life tonight.”

Stefan and Xavier reacted in two drastically different ways upon hearing this.

Stefan’s facial expression turned extremely cold. Xavier, on the other hand, had a beaming smile on his

face.

“The love of my life… It has to be Renee!” Xavier instantly clapped. “Master, I was wrong. You’re way

too accurate!”

Oddly enough, Xavier’s phone rang. His subordinate told him that Renee had been found, but it was a

little complicated. Xavier was immediately asked to make his way to the underground casino in the

antique market.

“Stefan, Renee is in the underground casino. I guess she’s in trouble. For fairness’ sake, let’s quickly

make our way there together. Whoever rescues her first gets to be with her. What do you say?”
