What?
Phineas was stunned, and Penny burst out laughing.
No one knew this day would come for Phineas Ponzi, the fortune teller.
This was a fight between two experts.
Penny gazed at Phineas in amusement. She was wondering what he'd say in return.
Phineas' face fell as he glowered at the priest. "Who are you? You're talking nonsense. I'll beat you up if you won't stop it!”
However, the priest grinned. "I'm from St. Andrews Cathedral, and I am Father Andrew. While I was praying earlier today, the Holy Spirit filled me, and He revealed to me what will happen today. That's why I came to warn you."
Phineas was enraged. "You must be crazy. Are you here to mess around with me?"
Father Andrew merely blinked. "The Holy Spirit is never wrong. You must believe me."
A furious Phineas immediately started arguing with Father Andrew right in front of Penny and the others.
In the end, both of them started hurling curses at each other rudely, which was a rather jaw-dropping sight.
Penny and the others were dumbfounded. None of them seemed like experts now. They were more like ruffians cursing each other!
Right then, Nathan and Queenie walked back after getting on the Ferris wheel.
Nathan asked, "Honey, what are they doing?"
Penny blurted out, "This is Mr. Ponzi. He said I'll cause your death and told me to leave you at once. Then, this priest named Father Andrew appeared. He said Mr. Ponzi will experience something bad today, and they started cursing each other shortly after that."
Nathan was infuriated and roared, "You charlatan. How dare you lie to my wife?"
He grabbed Phineas' collar and gave him a few forceful slaps.
His slaps were so forceful that Phineas' teeth flew out from his mouth, and blood oozed out at once.
Father Andrew watched as Phineas was being slapped. A tight-lipped smile played on his lips as he said, "Well... I did warn you."
Phineas gazed at Nathan and Father Andrew in fear. His voice trembled as he demanded, "You are in this together!"
