The Sage of Masterminds ( Mr. Pierce )

Chapter 13 A Majestic Lion and a Cunning White Bunny 

Yanice was utterly confused. She returned to the Pierce Residence with sadness and guilt but was too scared to face Sidney, so she stayed hidden in her room, afraid of getting caught doing something wrong. Even on school days, she would coop up in her room continuously. 

When the butler told Linda about the situation, she smiled happily and said, “It seems Yan has listened 

to us.” 

“Old Mrs. Pierce, you look much better every day. It seems Miss Morgan’s geomancy changes worked,” said Howard. 

She, too, felt the difference herself, having more energy without dizziness anymore. Indeed, Christine is truly impressive. 

Sidney also took the time to visit her upon hearing that her health was gradually improving. 

“Sid, doesn’t my complexion look much better? You should believe in metaphysics by now.” Linda teased and tried to convince him, but he did not change his mind. 

Even though he had some doubts, he believed it was just a lucky coincidence. So, he did not tell her anything about his opinion to avoid getting scolded. “Yeah, impressive,” he said. 

Ryan, holding some papers, felt nervous. Does Miss Morgan possess expertise in divination? She previously cautioned me about potential financial losses, and I’ve been experiencing misplacements of my phone, computer, and bank cards. She also mentioned unfavorable geomancy in Mr. Pierce’s room; how fixing it would improve Madam Pierce’s health. 

“Mr. Pierce, I still have some unfinished business,” he lied and tried to find an excuse to talk to 

Christine. 

Sidney sensed Ryan’s uneasiness but was unsure what he was up to, so he replied coldly, “Sure.” 

After enduring Linda’s enthusiastic chatter about how well he and Christine matched, Sidney found an excuse to leave the room. He then spotted Ryan talking to the eyesore fortune teller. He blushed a little and said, “Uhm… Miss Morgan, do you still have those lucky charms? I’d like to buy one.” 

“Yes, I do. Since you’ve changed your mind, it’ll cost you more now. Five thousand for one,” Christine said, taking a piece of charm from her pocket. 

Ryan winced at the price but thought not buying it would be even worse. He nervously took out his new phone. “I’ll Venmo you.” 

“Marking up the price already? You’re a real opportunist. I’ll report you for your unlicensed operation and fraudulent behavior.” Sidney’s cold voice interrupted them from behind and frightened Ryan. 

The guilty assistant quickly put his phone away, signaling Christine to talk later. He tried to act as if nothing had happened. 

“I think it’s a fair deal,” she responded with a serious face. “Furthermore, it’s not your money, so why would you report me?”

Sidney looked at Ryan with a cold gaze. He knew that Ryan had been loving things remenly, for that did not mean he believed in metaphysics. 

1. I just want some peace of mind. I’ve paid you, Miss Moan. Mr. Pierce. I will have feed smart. I need to leave now Ryan hurriedly completed the transaction and swiftly retreated from nitke sedeze 

ith his charm. I hope this purchase will finally bring an end to my financial proudilkent 

Meanwhile. Sidney could not help but question the authenticity of the metaphysics. In his audi, it seemed like a mere play of tricks. 

However, in the following days. Ryan did not lose a single penny. On the contrary, he even stumbled upon unexpected money as if luck had suddenly favored him. Overwhelmed with excitement, he eagerly rushed to inform Sidney of this newfound fortune. 

Sidney crossed his long legs in the living room and casually flipped through the contract. After listening to Ryan’s various descriptions of its wonders, he speculated, It worked? 

Ryan felt that the lucky charm was extraordinary after he had personally experienced it. He decided no promote it in front of Sidney. “Mr. Pierce, why don’t you give it a try too? It’s amazing!” 

Sidney coldly raised an eyebrow. “If it doesn’t work, she’s a fraud.” 

Christine pursed her lips, finding it strange that a purple aura was swirling around him. In made in difficult for her to read his fate. Usually, in such cases my grandmother would give me to explanations–the person is born with encouraging signs and generations of accumulated virtues. However, this condition requires that everyone has never done anything wrong, or it is counterproductive. Another possibility is the person’s mastery of the art of divination surpasses mine. 

Sidney’s lack of refusal was intentional and meant to make things difficult for her. A wicked smile lingered on his lips. “What’s the matter? Judging by your expression. I suppose you’re having a hard 

ume? 

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and met his gaze. There was a height difference between them, with the man standing at 64‘ and her at 56‘ It was like a majestic lion and a cunning white bunny 

You can figure Ryan out, but not me?‘ he questioned. He raised an eyebrow, gently gripping her small shoulder with his large hand and giving it a light pat as she attempted to pass by. “You don’t have to push yourself if you can’t.” 

She’s just a little girl with a mouth full of nonsense, and it’s effortless for me to see through her. 

“I can.” Her voice suddenly sounded behind him, sweet and innocent 

Sidney turned around, and there she stood with a pair of bright and playful eyes that blinked innocently, giving her an extra touch of cuteness. “But it comes with an additional price,” she continued. 

That piqued his interest. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smille formed on his lips. Tll give you ten thousand to interpret my fortune once.” 

“Deal!” She readily agreed Since Mr. Pierce’s generosity cannot be parsedap I shall seize the opportunity and stily latches onto my money–makeT.
