After Cao Lao San was dragged away, Aaron Walton, who was also tied by the arms, knew he would face a similar fate. He did not plead like Cao Lao San but looked at Evan Stetford and said, "Young Master Stetford, a moment’s folly leads to grave mistakes, I, Aaron Walton, accept my misfortune. However, before I die, I have a question that I desperately want to ask that Lawrence Winters. I hope Young Master Stetford could help fulfill my last wish in life."
Evan Stetford glanced at Lawrence Winters and said with a smile, "Heavenly Master Winters, someone wants to ask you a question, would you be willing to answer?"
Lawrence Winters sat comfortably in the chair, slightly nodding towards Aaron Walton, saying, "I am Heavenly Master Winters."
Aaron Walton stared at her for a long time, surprised, saying, "...Are you the Female Wizard who set up a fortune-telling stall on Fortune-telling Street newly arrived from the country? But you look nothing like you did that day!"
He almost didn’t recognize her!
Lawrence Winters curled her lips, "Of course it’s me. Take a closer look, see if it really is."
Aaron Walton squinted and looked at her for a while.
He found that he couldn’t see through her face, but compared to the rustic Female Wizard he saw on Fortune-telling Street that day, it seemed to be the same person.
Because Fortune Tellers look at bone structure, not facial appearance.
He looked at Lawrence Winters’ long hair, murmuring, "...Even the hairstyle has changed. Heavenly Master Winters, did you intentionally mislead others?"
"Intentional or not," Lawrence Winters shook her head, "it’s just that Life in the World requires caution, especially since I am unfamiliar with the place. And you, as a Fortune Teller, don’t know the importance of face reading?"
Her words were like a sudden enlightenment to Aaron Walton.
He let out an "ah," mouth opened wide as if he realized something, yet also seemed extremely regretful, his eyes staring at Lawrence Winters with a complex expression.
Lawrence Winters looked at him for a while, then withdrew her gaze, picked up her bottle of mineral water from Evan Stetford’s desk, twisted off the cap, and took a sip.
Aaron Walton lowered his head, sighed heavily, and said, "If you hear the way in the morning, you may die in the evening. Heavenly Master Winters, I have one question, hoping you can answer it."
Lawrence Winters chuckled lightly, saying, "...You already asked a question just now."
Aaron Walton laughed grimly, saying, "...That question was unrelated to Face Reading, please grant me this opportunity, Great Heavenly Master."
He was already in his fifties, now bound like a zongzi, stooped over, yet there was an unyielding aura on his face.
Lawrence Winters was slightly taken aback.
Aaron Walton worried she would refuse and hurriedly said, "I want to ask Heavenly Master Winters one last question about Face Reading. I want to know, how did you deduce that Maria doesn’t have long to live? I also read her face, and that day her philtrum was bright, even radiant, undoubtedly a Red Simurgh Star face, so I predicted her marriage was imminent. What’s wrong?"
"Why didn’t Heavenly Master Winters read her marriage and not charge her, saying her money is ’money from a past life’? This is something I can’t understand. I, Aaron Walton, have been reading faces for forty years and have never made such a big blunder!"
Lawrence Winters felt a jolt, her eyes darker than normal people, firmly staring at Aaron Walton’s face, saying calmly, "You’ve only understood part of it, not the whole."
"Maria’s philtrum was indeed bright that day, her face radiant, looking similar to a Red Simurgh Star."
"But did you notice, her nose’s root was glowing red, extending to both eyes. Her face was flushed with green spots, blood threads hidden within. This kind of face, called Smoke in Fire, spells life-threatening danger."
"Even if the Red Simurgh approaches, it would be smoked out by this Smoke in Fire."
Aaron Walton drew in a breath of cold air, urgently asking, "Smoke in Fire?! From which face-reading book is this mentioned? Why have I never heard of it?"
"It’s from a Celestial Path Book passed down by my Zhang family’s ancestors. However, our Zhang family mainly focuses on Feng Shui, and Face Reading is just a personal hobby of mine, so I haven’t really researched it, making a laughingstock of myself in front of you, Mr. Walton."
Lawrence Winters suddenly became polite and even cupped her hands towards Aaron Walton.
Aaron Walton’s face gradually turned pale, beads of sweat appearing one by one on his forehead.
He looked at Lawrence, bitterly smiling, "Didn’t expect there truly is an unparalleled genius of the Celestial Path in this world... Great Heavenly Master Winters, take care..."
After speaking, he abruptly closed his eyes.
At that moment, Lawrence sprang forward, throwing a punch towards Aaron Walton’s left cheek!
Truly as still as a statue, as swift as a sudden flight.
Aaron Walton let out a miserable scream, cried out loudly, a mouthful of blood spewing out, mixed with a tooth.
