“Mr. Pennington?”
The gathered members of aristocratic families all stood up.
They had thought Shane was finished, especially with the recent investigations looming over him. But
Shane had kept an ace up his sleeve.
After all, Kolton Pennington was a true apprentice of Mt. Dragon. He was hailed as the most likely to
ascend to immortality. He had outstanding talents in fortune–telling as well.
It was rumored that he successfully resolved the flooding at Kingbourn’s bay, which seemed quite
miraculous. Could one truly control the weather?
But that wasn’t the most astounding feat. They had personally witnessed Kolton restore a soul to
someone who had lost theirs.
And just recently, he had swiftly resolved the issue for Austin.
Moreover, the mall they had invested in had seen stagnant business until he gave a few directives. Once
they installed a looping fountain outside the square, the business instantly flourished.
Hence, these people’s faces now displayed a blend of admiration and obsequiousness.
“Why have you come, Mr. Pennington? Aren’t you supposed to be discussing the Arcane Way with
overseas scholars?” Declan also stepped forward with a smile.
Kolton seemed familiar with Declan but remained reserved. “I’m taking a break these two days, so I came
over with Mr. Shane.”
“We didn’t know you would be coming, so I haven’t prepared any offerings.”
The others rushed to speak to Kolton.
“Mr. Pennington, the talisman you gave me last time is incredibly effective. I’m full of energy now.”
Albert watched the shareholders fawning over the young cultivator with a furrowed brow. He didn’t know if this unexpected development would affect Wynter’s plans.
Kolton’s arrival had caught Declan off guard as well. However, seeing Shane, he understood the latter’s
intention.
Shane wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate Wynter.
Well, that was fine. If someone was going to stick their neck out, he would watch from the sidelines.
However, he was unsure if his “smart” brother, Fabian, would be angry enough to faint after seeing Shane and Wynter turn against each other.
Declan’s face was filled with a smile as he said with false concern, “Shane, it’s not such a big deal. Let
Wynter rest. We can discuss this when Fabian arrives.”

“Yeah, I need to wait for my dad to come. I need to let him see how much this granddaughter he brought back has ruined the family.” Shane scoffed coldly as he took his seat.
He then looked at Kolton, who returned a reassuring look to him.
Shane had always been an esteemed guest of Mt. Dragon. Moreover, Kolton had carefully calculated the horoscope Shane had handed over. It was indeed a fortune that would bring bad luck to her father.
Kolton had also heard about Wynter’s recent actions, which veered quite away from convention. He never held such individuals in high regard.
As juniors, they should honor their parents. Her existence truly defied natural order.
With this in mind, Kolton spoke up, “Mr. Shane, perhaps we should wait until I meet Ms. Quinnell. I need to read her fortune again.”
At his words, those around them exchanged looks.
For Kolton to take the initiative to read someone’s fortune, the person was either extraordinarily virtuous or profoundly malevolent.
It was clear that Wynter, who had yet to make an appearance, fell into the latter category.
Albert found the situation absurd. Shane had brought in someone like Kolton so openly, aiming to deal with Wynter. He was beyond redemption.
It was only at this moment that Shane noticed Albert. He raised an eyebrow slightly.
