He looked calm on the outside, but inside, his mind was a chaotic mess.
Thank God he had chosen to attend this dinner.
If he had hesitated for even a single second, he would be meeting his maker right now.
Slade eagerly turned to Maeve. "Read my fortune too, please."
Maeve glanced at him.
"Mr. Thorne's overall luck this year is quite good. The only disappointing area is your romantic life."
Jasper Jett chimed in with a sarcastic remark.
"For a guy like him, apart from a face that's somewhat tolerable, his personality is a disaster. Unless some woman goes completely blind, him finding a partner is a lost cause."
Slade glared at Jasper. "It's the new year. Don't force me to beat you up in front of all these people."
Jasper scoffed. "Look at you acting tough. Try touching a single hair on my head and see if you make it out of Aethelburg alive."
These two were a bizarre pair. They bickered endlessly every time they met, yet they were absolutely inseparable.
The rest of the group was still stunned that Maeve and The Talisman God were the same person, completely amazed by her predictive abilities.
It was rare for Maeve to be in such a good mood, so she answered their barrage of questions with complete honesty.
Working in a special task force, Michael Perez faced different life-threatening dangers on every mission.
Seeing the talisman in his gift bag, he smiled and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this one is to keep me safe, right?"
Maeve nodded. "Besides keeping you safe, you'll also have a major breakthrough in your career this year, Mr. Perez."
"I predict you'll earn a major commendation in June. Whatever promotion follows will depend on your own merit."
Michael found it hard to describe the surge of excitement in his chest.
The talismans were custom-made based on each person's birth chart. The runic inscriptions were different, and so were their effects.
Because The Talisman God's name was legendary in The Occult World, the group was entirely captivated by the talismans Maeve had gifted them, completely overlooking the second item in the bag.
It was Naomi Lowell who kindly reminded everyone, "Maeve isn't just a master at drawing talismans. The pills she creates are absolutely unparalleled."
Prompted by Naomi, the others finally noticed the small box tucked inside their bags.
Opening it, they found six black Vitality Pills neatly arranged inside.
The moment the boxes opened, a rich, soothing herbal scent filled the air.
Declan Fulton finally remembered Maeve's other identity—The Shadow Healer!
Rumor had it that Mrs. White, who had been left paralyzed from a car accident, was showing signs of recovery after being treated by Maeve.
As for the extent of that recovery, The White Family had kept the information strictly locked down, so very little had leaked to the public.
