Cultivate Wizard novel Chapter 5

After leaving home, Finneas ran directly to the city center of Jacaster.

With his speed, a forty-kilometer journey was merely a matter of minutes.

If he flew using his sword, it would only take a minute, but the city center was crowded, so he chose not to fly.

As for making money?

Finneas had numerous ways to earn it.

Setting up arrays, refining medicines, making talismans, treating illnesses, and geomancy were all within his expertise. Any one of these could bring in a fortune.

After a brief moment of thought, Finneas arrived at a market in North Jacaster.

This market, known as Jaskait Market, wasn't the largest in Jacaster but was undoubtedly the most diverse.

Everything was sold here, from daily necessities and home remedies to gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and emeralds.

You could even find a few fortune-tellers, exorcists, and those skilled in geomancy.

The market's chaotic and mixed composition made it a lawless area, where even the city council avoided interference.

Finneas found an empty spot, sat cross-legged, and wrote on the ground with a red brick: Rent me for two hours: Master of all trades, price negotiable.

Having set up, Finneas closed his eyes and waited for someone in need to approach.

The bustling market quickly spread the word about his offer, and many people came to take a look, but no one inquired further.

His claim of being a master of all trades was too exaggerated.

Even a deity wouldn't dare to make such a bold claim.

Liar!

They assumed he was a con artist.

People surrounded Finneas, pointing and discussing.

Some came to mock him with absurd questions like, “Can you cure impotence?” or “Can you increase its length by five centimeters?”

Finneas ignored these obviously mocking inquiries.

Meanwhile, in a black Hummer parked nearby, a group of men observed Finneas closely through the window.

One of them spoke to a middle-aged man in the back seat. “Boss, this guy is too young. He's definitely bluffing. We should look elsewhere. If we don't find a solution soon, there could be major trouble at the construction site.”

“Finding an expert in exorcism isn't easy,” the middle-aged man said with a sigh.

He was Cameron Wheeler, chairman of a large construction company in Jacaster.

Recently, strange occurrences plagued his company's construction site.

Workers reported hearing children crying at night, and those who investigated found nothing.

When the workers returned to their dormitory, the sounds of crying from outside resonated once more.

Last night, a worker claimed to have seen a weasel smiling at him when he went to the toilet. It asked, “Young man, do I look like a human or an immortal?”

The worker had never encountered such a bizarre incident.

He didn't dare to respond at all and fled straight back to his dorm. However, as soon as he returned, he fell seriously ill and couldn't get up. Despite going to the hospital, they couldn't diagnose anything wrong with him. He was still lying in the hospital now.

Desperate, Cameron personally led a team to Jaskait Market to find an expert.

They found several seemingly powerful experts, but all turned out to be frauds.

Cameron rubbed his temples in frustration.

The project was worth over two billion, with a potential profit of one billion for him.

Delays were costing him heavily.

“Boss, I heard there's an expert in South Jacaster.”

“That old guy's a fraud. I know better than you.”

“What should we do then?”

“I'm not paying you to ask me questions! Useless fools!”

Gotcha!

However, he deliberately asked, “There are many experts in this market. Why approach me?”

“Forget it. They're all charlatans here to fish for fame,” Cameron responded coldly, then continued, “I know what you mean. If you can handle this, I'll pay you twenty thousand.”

Finneas looked straight at Cameron and said calmly, “Mr. Wheeler, this isn't a simple matter. It's beyond dire! Forgive me for being direct, but if this situation is not addressed soon, your site and even you will face danger. Have you been sleeping poorly lately?

Cameron's heart skipped a beat.

He knew the situation was dire.

The site had been shut down for days, costing him tens of thousands daily. If this situation were to continue, he would suffer huge losses.

Moreover, he had felt watched at night recently.

However, when he switched on the lights, there was nothing around.

That made him terrified.

Cameron initially doubted Finneas.

He was desperate to try anything.

After hearing Finneas' words, he was filled with shock.

Is this poker-faced man a true expert?

“Young man, what do you suggest?”

“Raise the price.”

Cameron looked at Finneas.

Rather than feeling angry, he was surprisingly delighted inside.

Asking for more money indicated confidence.

“How much?”

“A hundred grand. I guarantee to resolve your problem!” Finneas replied calmly.
