Chereads / Lord Of Mysteries:Fire of Destruction / Chapter 251 - Chapter 170: Too close

Chapter 251 - Chapter 170: Too close

An hour and a half had passed since Glancis and Christina left the Club and in that time Klein received 2 other clients.

'Maybe this way I can get enough funds for doing divinations for others.' Klein thought with a small smile as he got up from his seat, put on his hat, grabbed his cane, and walked towards the exit of the club.

At this moment, Christina entered accompanied by the young Megose who was wearing a sun hat.

Christina saw Klein and immediately approached him.

"Mr. Moretti, you said that you could try to guess Lanevus's location if there was anything that belonged to him?" she asked softly.

"That's right." Klein nodded.

Christina breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a serious tone.

"So is his child something that belongs to him?"

"Huh?" Klein was momentarily a bit lost.

Christina didn't notice the Seer's blank expression.

She took a quick peek at the receptionist Angelica over the reception desk, lowering her voice, she said.

"I mean Lanevus's child"

She extended her hand to point at the young Megose who was a bit away from them and was quietly singing a song.

"This is my niece, Megose. Her mother is my older sister."

"I am very sorry and regretful for thinking that Lanevus was a sweet and outstanding young man back then. I introduced Megose, who was single, to Lanevus. Then they both became lovers."

"Megose's parents were also happy with Lanevus at the beginning, the whole family was. The whole family invested in Lanevus's company, some more and some less but we all got scammed by him. Luckily, the family is not in danger and there is hope to recover but it will take a long time." she said regretfully and then sighed and added with venom.

"Lanevus fled with over 10,000 pounds in his pockets."

She then shook her head slightly and continued.

"I'm getting off topic."

"We believe in the God of Steam and Machinery; not in the Lord of Storms. We do not believe in chastity before marriage. We do not blame Megose and even feel sorry for her. The existence of the child does make things difficult though .especially having such a father."

'10,000 pounds! Oh Goddess, if you manage that money you can live your whole life without working!' Klein was stunned at the amount of money Lanevus managed to steal.

But that astonishment quickly turned to anger.

'He took advantage of the people who trusted him both financially and sexually...' Klein looked at the silent Megose who was standing next to Christina.

She looked depressed yet calm.

'What a disgusting snake, he even managed to escape successfully...' Klein inwardly insulted Lanevus and said after some thought.

"If it is a child that has already been born then it is possible to use the child as a medium. But unfortunately, this will require waiting a few months. Yes, this may be what the divination earlier referred to. Be patient and wait persistently without being greedy, then you will have the opportunity of seeing the sunlight."

"A few months..." Christina muttered to herself as she shook her head.

"No, after all this time, even if we find Lanevus, we won't be able to get our money back."

She looked sideways at Megose. His voice lowered unconsciously.

"Do you have something that he carried with him before?

"No..." Megose answered gently. But then her honey eyes lit up when she remembered something.

"Will the ring he gave me count?"

"Must be something he's been carrying around for a long time." Klein shook his head.

Christina was silent for a few seconds, she then turned to see Megose and said.

"You have to make a decision. I think that taking this child will only make your future rough and painful. Are you going to tell him that his father was a con man who took money from many people, including his mother?"

"It's time to go to the clinic, to the hospital. Besides, this can help us find Lanevus, and recover what we lost."

'Hey isn't that a bit of a hardcore method?' Klein thought to himself but did not give his opinion because it was not his place.

'I never thought I'd use a fetus as a divination aid...' Klein lampooned a bit.

Magose's expression quickly turned sour and she glared at her Aunt while putting both hands on her stomach as if protecting it.

"I can't believe you could say that Aunt!"

"He will be different from his father. He will be a considerate and friendly boy!"

"He will kick me lightly every day, telling me his mood. He hums songs, whistles, and tells me stories to help me sleep!"

Klein listened and suddenly noticed something strange.

'Perhaps now she has mental problems due to the incident...' Klein put his right hand to his glabella. He pretended to massage it to soothe his weariness.

But at that moment Megose turned around and stormed out of the Club, leaving only one sentence.

"I won't stay here to listen to how you want to hurt my baby! I'm out!"

Klein was caught off guard by this sudden reaction that he forgot to activate his spirit vision.

He watched helplessly as Megose left the club and stormed down the stairs.

Christina watched this stunned, she turned to see Klein and quickly said.

"Sorry, Mr. Moretti. I'm sorry to have bothered you, we'll be looking for something that Lanevus carried with him all the time."

Saying that, Christina didn't expect a response from the seer, she turned around and left the club and went downstairs screaming for her niece to wait for her.

Klein seeing all this could only sigh as he shook his head.

'This reminds me of a case I saw in a movie, the mother also reacted like this to the suggestion to abort the baby...'

Finding nothing unusual in Megose's reaction, Klein just left the club.

...

Somewhere in Tingen City. In a dark room.

A dark blond man was finishing writing in his notebook before putting the pen in a container and sealing it.

"Too close..." Ince Zangwill sighed in relief as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.

Looking down at the notebook, he read what the quill had written and he had barely been able to stop it.

The last words were written with less force and the next paragraph was written with powerful and incredible strokes, as if the writer was incredulous.

'That was too close...' Ince Zangwill thought heavily as he squeezed hard on the wooden table almost breaking it.

He tried to change everything so that Megose would never meet Klein Moretti but that was impossible.

No matter how hard he tried, the two of them would end up meeting at the club.

And he discovered that he could only slightly change paragraphs 9 and 11.

So with what little he could change, he managed to save the plan from being discovered.

And finally, even though it would suffer even more, he added an extra paragraph.

Looking at the last sentence Ince Zangwill was very tempted to write that Klein Moretti met with an accident and died.

But he contained that desire and closed the notebook and put it in his jacket pocket.

'I know what you're planning Cesimir and I won't fall...' Ince Zangwill thought darkly.

If Klein died suddenly, no matter the circumstance, Ince Zangwill knew that Cesimir would have enough evidence to call in more reinforcements.

That was why Crestet Cesimir had told the Nighthawks to carry on with their work as normal.

To attract Ince Zangwill's hand, he planned to use Klein Moretti as bait.

'No matter how much I want to kill that rat for now he is untouchable...' Ince thought with hate when suddenly an evil smile grew on his face.

"But that doesn't mean the other Nighthawks are." he murmured with a short laugh.

If he was careful, he could make their deaths look like work accidents.

But at that moment, the mirror surface of the room turned dark, as if there were countless objects and layers of endless spaces hidden within it.

From this strange space, Panatiya emerged gracefully, still wearing her pure white robe and her pulled-back black hair.

The mirror behind her returned to normal and reflected her sensual figure.

Ince Zangwill had to swallow as he saw how the woman's waist was sensually outlined by her robe.

She looked at Ince Zangwill and smiled softly.

"If you think I'll sleep here then you really have lost your mind." she teased but seeing that Ince Zangwill just looked at her annoyed she just sighed.

"Not a kiss? Even a hi? You're a lousy lover." she said with fake sadness before looking behind the man.

"At least your quill is excited to see me~." she teased and Ince Zangwill's eyes widened in horror.

Touching his pocket he realized that his notebook had disappeared.

He turned around and saw how the quill is writing in the notebook!

He lunged forward and grabbed the quill before it could write anything else.

Looking down he quickly read what the pen had written.

"Fuck!" Cursing he turned to Panatiya and said.

"We are leaving!"

Panatiya sighed sadly as she walked to the mirror that turned dark again being quickly followed by Ince Zangwill who grabbed a bag next to the bed.

"And that I had barely arrived." she said sadly as she stepped to the side of the mirror.

She extended her arm toward the mirror as if giving way to a lady.

Ince Zangwill could only bite his tongue and entered the mirror being followed by a smiling Panatiya who snapped her fingers before entering and the room was engulfed in an illusory black fire that disappeared after three seconds.

The mirror returned to normal reflecting the darkness of the room.

A few seconds later, a cold air rushed through the room making the curtains swirl slightly, this lasted only a few seconds and then disappeared.
