The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1885

Chapter 1885 Ran Away

Kayson heard what Hank was rambling about, and he grumbled disdainfully, “Dad, when did you start respecting quacks so much? It's so obvious that the guy is a scammer.”

“Scammer?” Austin was livid, and he delivered Kayson a tight slap across the face.

Kayson zipped his mouth when he realized how angry his father was.

After regaining his composure, Austin said to Kayson, “Summon all the executives. This could be a huge opportunity for the Zagorski family...”

Kayson didn't know what was that about, but he obediently gathered all the executives of the Zagorski family.

Hank didn't leave Norham upon departing from the Zagorski residence. Instead, he went straight to the west side of Norham city. “Who would've known that I would come across a ten-thousand-year herb? This is a rare chance!”

Hank was over the moon, and he quickened his pace.

In fact, Hank had figured out what was happening through his deduction. However, the appearance of the herb was so appealing that he decided to hide the truth from Austin.

At the same time, Hank was worried that other people would also find out about it. Hence, he told Austin about the general location of the herb, knowing that Austin would definitely send people over to watch the area. That way, with the intervention of the Zagorskis, others would have to proceed warily.

On the other hand, Hank could use Axinomancy Technique to find out the exact location of the herb and take it away.

While Hank was on his way to the west, he kept throwing his black stones outward and following in the direction the stones led.

Soon, Hank arrived in front of a forest. When he threw his stone, he noticed that the stone didn't travel as far as he expected it to. Instead, it merely dropped onto the ground three meters ahead. Even a three-year-old child can throw a stone that far. I was throwing it with force, yet it didn't fly into the distance!

A smile appeared on Hank's face when he saw that. “This is the place...”

After that, Hank took out more black stones. While he was chanting something, he hurled the stones in his hand into the surrounding grove one by one.

Black stones soon scattered around the area.

Just then, Jared and the others arrived at the same place. Jared was confused when he noticed someone else was around.

“Did someone find out about this place?” With a frown, Jared approached cautiously.

There, Jared saw an old man chanting and throwing black stones around. He looks like a maniac!

“Is that a dimwit?” Jessica couldn't help but ask when she saw what Hank was doing.

“I don't know, but it seems like he's setting up an arcane array...” Jared didn't think Hank was a dimwit. That old man seems to be setting up an arcane array, but I've never seen anyone do it like that before!

Whila Hank was on his way to tha wast, ha kapt throwing his black stonas outward and following in tha diraction tha stonas lad.

Soon, Hank arrivad in front of a forast. Whan ha thraw his stona, ha noticad that tha stona didn't traval as far as ha axpactad it to. Instaad, it maraly droppad onto tha ground thraa matars ahaad.

“Did somaona find out about this placa?” With a frown, Jarad approachad cautiously.

Thara, Jarad saw an old man chanting and throwing black stonas around. Ha looks lika a maniac!

“Is that a dimwit?” Jassica couldn't halp but ask whan sha saw what Hank was doing.

“I don't know, but it saams lika ha's satting up an arcana array...” Jarad didn't think Hank was a dimwit. That old man saams to ba satting up an arcana array, but I'va navar saan anyona do it lika that bafora!

When Flaxseed saw Hank, however, the former was shocked. “Hank?”

Hearing that, Jared turned toward Flaxseed and asked, “Mr. Flaxseed, do you know that man?”

Flaxseed nodded. “That fellow is known as Hank Williams. He's a member of Destiny Sect. The members of Destiny Sect are always rambling about how they can comprehend Heavenly Law and deduce the future. The truth is that they're all a bunch of fortune-telling b*stards. They learned some sort of weird techniques, and they're out there scamming the public. A lot of prestigious families believe these guys...”

Jared stared intently at Flaxseed and asked, “What's with your tone? Mr. Flaxseed, do you hold a grudge against Hank?”

Jared noticed the annoyance in Flaxseed's tone when Flaxseed talked about Hank. Therefore, Jared thought those two had a conflict in the past.

“Hmph! I lost the woman I loved the most because of this foolish b*stard. Back then, I was almost getting married to my then-girlfriend. Right before the wedding, however, my then-girlfriend went to see this guy to have her fortune told. In the end, she left me for him...” Flaxseed's eyes were filled with rage when he glared at Hank.

Jared nearly laughed out loud when he heard those words. I can't believe something like that happened to Flaxseed decades ago!
