Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 A Con Artist 

Stefan felt a little disappointed upon hearing so. Just as he was about to say something, Alex spoke up. 

“You’re too kind, Ms. Grant. I’ll just stay here to watch. I won’t disturb Mr. Carter,” Alex said, smiling. Despite being looked down by Maggie, he was not upset. 

“Yeah, Ms. Grant. We may be able to spot something from the sidelines. I’m not trying to brag, but Mr. Jefferson’s skills in geomancy are the greatest I’ve ever seen,” Stefan hurriedly added on. “Furthermore, I’ve told Mr. Jefferson about your situation before and he knows the root of your problem. We won’t interrupt Mr. Carter’s ritual, too. If Mr. Carter manages to solve the issue, then that would be great! But if not, Mr. Jefferson can try to help.” 

After hearing him out, Maggie nodded her head. What Stefan said made sense, so she agreed to let both of them stay. 

At that moment, Noah turned to Alex, scrutinizing him. He then shot him a disdainful look and said in a cold voice, “I, Noah Carter, am the disciple of the twenty-seventh generation of the Mountain of the Beasts. Geomancy has become the essence of Taoism in our mountain; there are no divination-related issues that I won’t understand nor any problems that I can’t solve. But you, young man, you dare to call yourself a geomancer! You sound like a con artist!” 

Stefan’s expression immediately changed. Just as he wanted to bring up Damian’s name, he heard Alex laugh. “Mr. Carter, no one is doubting your ability. However, since you are a master from the Mountain of the Beasts, why didn’t you take a look at your own fortune before leaving your house?” Alex said pointedly. “Don’t you know that your fortune says that you will come across a calamity today?” 

Alex looked at Noah’s forehead and saw nothing but dark, negative energy. He could not help but become curious. 

Since Mr. Carter is a master from the Mountain of the Beasts, it can’t be that he couldn’t even read his own fortune. 

“What did you say? I will be facing a calamity?” 

Noah looked at Alex, shocked. His eyes filled with derision before he suddenly burst out laughing. “Kid, I didn’t know that you are this crazy.” 

Warner and Maggie frowned. Was Alex trying to mess with Noah by making such crude remarks? 

Both of them felt somewhat unhappy but could not do anything. 

Alex shrugged. “I’m telling you the truth. I hope you don’t think that I’m teasing you on purpose,” he said matter-of-factly. “There’s darkness between your brows, your face is swollen and your eyes are bloodshot and unfocused. Those are signs of misfortune, can’t you tell? If you don’t help yourself now, I’m afraid the incoming calamity won’t hold off any longer.” 

Alex was telling the truth. From what he gathered, since Noah was from the Mountain of the Beasts, he would definitely have some sort of technique to fix the problem. 

Although Damian from the Mountain of the Beasts was rather loathsome, he still had a few tricks up his sleeve. 

And then there was Lexa Hill, too. Though she did not show much in the geomancy aspect, she was skilled in Light Moves, which was a skill that was rarely seen. It allowed her to leap over walls easily and run on water like a dragonfly – Alex even wished to have that prowess himself. 

Hence, he had no doubts about the abilities of the people from the Mountain of the Beasts. 

Noah scoffed, “Kid, I am a master from the Mountain of the Beasts, so why would I not know of my own problems? If you continue spewing such nonsense, don’t blame me if I hurt you!” 

“I’m spewing nonsense?” 

Alex laughed and sneered, “I didn’t think that the so-called master from the Mountain of the Beasts is only capable of so much.” 

Noah instantly became outraged and bellowed, “Kid, you’re digging your own grave. How dare you humiliate us people from the Mountain of the Beasts?”
