Meanwhile, Carvalho and Mason were deeply worried and anxious as they sat inside the Shangri-La hotel room.
Mason had not recovered from the appalling experience just now, and he was in a very poor mental state at this time.
Carvalho had not spoken either, and he was holding a few copper coins in his hand as he kept tossing them o n the tabletop.
The hexagram presented by the copper coins was no longer a hexagram that Carvalho could understand. This made Carvalho feel a little doubtful. There was always the presence of a good opportunity in the hexagram, but at the same time, danger had never been eliminated. Even the vague sense of the unknown was even stronger than it ever was before. 4
Unconsciously, Carvalho’s mentality also began to change gradually.
He originally felt that he was taking advantage of Cadfan’s invitation to come to Oskia to make some money on the side while seeking his good opportunity.
It would not matter even if he could not find the good opportunity and fortune because he could just think of
it as a trip back to his motherland.
Even if there was danger, it would be because Carvalho was already old, and his body might not be able to endure being exerted and overworked.
At the same time, it would also be easy for him to trigger some hidden illnesses that were common amongst the elderly. 2
However, he never would have expected that this matter would have developed this way and that Falco Xanthos would suddenly appear!
This Falco Xanthos was truly too dangerous!
In Falco's eyes, murder was nothing at all.
Mason hurriedly said, "We can just tell him everything clearly before we return all of his money to him. It is
still possible for us to part on amicable terms, right?" 2
Carvalho shook his head and said, "Didn’t you hear what Falco Xanthos said? He specializes in killing people, but he is not good at finding people. So, he's still waiting for us to find the person so that he can go and kill him. Now, Cadfan Schulz seems to think that the person that he is asking us to look for is related to his granddaughter, Sophie Schulz. He wants us to find a breakthrough from Sophie Schulz. Falco Xanthos might not necessarily agree to it if we were to leave just like that at this time. Didn't you hear what he said before we left? He asked us to hurry up and find that person and to not cause a delay in him making a fortune.” 3
As he spoke, Carvalho sighed and said, "We have already been forced into a dead-end now, and it is not up to us to decide whether we are leaving or not."
"F*ck!" Mason could not help but curse as he said in exasperation, "What should we do, then? Will we be able to find that person?"
Carvalho said emotionally, "It is possible for us to find that person, but the main point is whether there will b e other troubles after we find him. Moreover, if we find that person and that person is going to get killed by Falco Xanthos, this will end up becoming our karmic hindrance!” 5
