Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 4249

Chapter 4249

"He's afraid I'd turn out to be a con man who'll use Fortune Hall's name to scam people."

"That's why he's trying to scare me with that price."

"If I give him the money, it'll mean I have no need to scam people since I'm already rich. He'll be rest assured."

"If I can't, but I can save his granddaughter, then that'll mean my geomancy arts are decent."

"He wouldn't worry about me using Fortune Hall's name to do whatever I want."

"In any case, Master Foley's just being considerate."

"We should understand him."

"After all, people like him have a bottom line. He wouldn't do all this just for the sake of money."

Harvey smiled at Reece.

The customers there revealed looks of realization upon hearing Harvey's words.

'No wonder Master Foley changed his attitude all of a sudden. So that's why!'

Kairi nodded, then smiled.

Naturally, she was willing to trust Reece's character.

"You're good at reading minds, kid. That said, you still need to show me real geomancy arts."

"If you're only good at pretending, then forget trying to save others. You'll just lose your life quickly,"

Reece shot Harvey a cold expression.

"I suggest you get out of here and stop ruining my business."

He put down his compass and took out a piece of red paper to scribble on.

"If I'm guessing correctly..." Harvey began.

"You deduced that the old lady here was hurt by evil energy. So, you planned to let her swallow the talisman to cure her."

Reece froze, his hand still gripping his brush. He looked at Harvey, filled with disbelief.

He didn't expect that Harvey could figure everything out without even picking up the compass.

"Not bad. No wonder you came all the way here. That said, this alone isn't enough..." he said, leaning on the table.

Kairi looked curiously at Harvey.

Judging from Reece's words, Harvey was spot on.

"I also know that this is only a temporary solution."

"You also speculated that she is malnutritioned, so you're planning to tell her to eat eggs every single day for forty-nine days straight."

"She'll be completely recovered after that, right?"

Reece froze immediately after hearing Harvey's words.

So-called geomancy arts had many forms.

Other than typical geomancy skills, medical skills were also needed, along with capable deduction skills in regards to the customers' personalities and style of dress.

Simply put, geomancy arts weren't superstition; merely science in many forms.

Normally speaking, a young man like Harvey wouldn't be able to handle such a profession.

And yet, Harvey's deduction was spot on. The methods to deal with the old woman's problems were completely correct as well.

Safe to say, he was a genius.

The customers quickly figured that Harvey was right after seeing the look on Reece's face. They became a lot more curious about him.

'Where did this young man come from?'

'Is he from Mount Lynx or The Thatch, I wonder?'

'He wouldn't be this good if he wasn't from either of those places...'

Reece nodded.

"Not bad. I've misjudged you."

"Not just that. You missed out on something else too," Harvey said.
