"The gathering ends here."
With Klein's command, the Tarot Club meeting concluded.
"Justice" Audrey and "Hanged Man" Alger also nodded in acknowledgment, bidding each other farewell.
… …
Back in reality, Klein let out a long sigh. As a newly advanced "Seer," acting as a hidden existence was even more exhausting than he had imagined.
Being the boss of a secret organization isn't easy either… Klein chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He subconsciously reached to take off his glasses, only to find nothing on his nose.
"I forgot the sunglasses were conjured on the gray fog."
By the way, should I buy a pair of sunglasses too…? Recalling his previous encounter at the Divination Club, Klein had this thought.
Divination Club, sigh!
Thinking of that place, a bitter feeling rose in his heart.
Even though several days had passed, the experience from that day was still fresh in his memory. Even including his life before transmigration, in decades, he had never encountered such an embarrassing situation.
But, to digest the potion, he still had to go to the Divination Club, right…? Klein had a headache.
If he could, he didn't want to go to that sorrowful place.
Humans are forgetful creatures. If I just disguise myself a bit, no one should recognize me, right…? Klein thought, uncertainly.
"And that man I met at the Divination Club…"
As soon as he thought of him, Klein subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
"When I used Spirit Vision to look at him, an anomaly occurred."
"Divining on the gray fog also yielded no results and I was… In short, that person definitely has a problem."
"He must be a Beyonder, but his specific Pathway and Sequence are unclear."
"Should I tell Captain and the others about this…?"
Klein pondered for a moment…
"Forget it, the matter of the gray fog is also my secret."
"It's better not to stir up trouble before confirming things clearly."
"Melissa should not be back yet at this time." Klein estimated the time, planning to arrange his day off.
"Today is a rare holiday. I'll take a bath and sleep for a while. When I wake up, I can make dinner."
This was Narcissus Street, their family's newly moved house, and the environment was much better than their previous Iron Cross Street.
After tidying up briefly, he picked up his change of clothes and walked towards the bathroom.
Before long, looking at the gradually spreading steam around him, Klein suddenly felt the urge to put on a pair of sunglasses again.
… …
Blackthorn Security Company.
The gossip about Dunn and Daily had spread throughout the entire company at light speed.
Only Klein, who had been on leave yesterday, remained completely unaware.
He pushed open the company door as usual.
'Strange, why does the atmosphere in the company feel so odd today?' Klein was a bit puzzled.
Rosanne saw Klein and greeted him, but she seemed unable to control her desire to share, saying to Klein, "Klein, do you know what happened yesterday?"
"Yesterday? Not sure, yesterday was my rotating day off." Klein shook his head.
"That was a big deal!" Rosanne looked excited.
"So, what was it?" Seeing Rosanne's expression, his curiosity was piqued.
"Listen to me, yesterday, Captain and Ms. Daily, in the Captain's office…"
"Ah, really or fake?" Klein was a bit disbelieving. Although it was obvious to anyone that there was an ambiguous relationship between Captain and Ms. Daily, the progress suddenly becoming so fast was beyond his expectation.
It felt a bit sudden.
"Of course, Leonard saw it with his own eyes, and they were intimately together today as well." Seeing Klein doubt her, Rosanne presented various pieces of evidence to prove her words.
After chatting with Rosanne for a few moments, he walked further into the company. After a few steps, he saw Leonard, Luo Yao, Old Neil, and Ke Enli chatting together.
"Klein, you're here." Ke Enli was the first to notice Klein and greeted him.
"Mm." Klein nodded, then asked curiously, "What are you all chatting about, looking so happy?"
"Uh, Klein, do you know about that matter?" Leonard asked.
"What matter?"
"It's about Captain and Ms. Daily." Luo Yao chimed in from the side.
"Oh, I know. Rosanne just told me."
"We were discussing what names their children should have." Leonard said in a joking tone.
Ah! Isn't this topic jumping a bit too fast? They might not even have confirmed their relationship… Klein was a bit startled.
"Mr. Neil, what do you think?" He looked up at the oldest, Old Neil.
"I think Kevin Smith is a good name." Old Neil surprisingly blurted out.
Uh… He suddenly forgot that Old Neil was a bit unserious. Klein lowered his head and rubbed his forehead.
"I saw a long time ago that they both had feelings for each other.
But they actually waited until now to make progress." Old Neil said in a tone of disappointment.
"Why don't we guess who made the first move?" Klein also became interested and came up with a topic.
"I guess it was Ms. Daily. With Captain's serious demeanor, he simply…" Leonard was the first to speak, but before he could finish, he heard…
"Leonard, what are you guessing about me?"
A clearly good-humored female voice came.
Leonard stiffly turned his head and saw Dunn, who looked happy but also a little helpless, and Daily, who was holding Dunn's arm with a beaming smile.
"Cough cough!"
Seemingly sensing his teammates' gazes, Dunn was uncharacteristically embarrassed and could only cover his awkwardness with a cough.
In stark contrast, Daily was all smiles.
"As you can see, your Captain has been pulled by me to be my fiancé."
Fiancé… Seemingly startled by this title, Dunn could only force himself to remain calm and say:
"In short, as you can see, I am dating Daily."
"I hope this will not affect our working relationships."
Daily, still smiling, said, "Let's all go out for lunch later. My treat."
… …
Divination Club.
"Hornacis Mountains?"
"Uh, are you sure you didn't mispeak, Mr. Grassias?" Hearing this term, Luo En's expression visibly became a bit unnatural.
Since directly asking about Lan'erwusi would be strange, Luo En couldn't very well say he had overheard it.
Because this was the Divination Club, he naturally used the topic of divination to strike up a conversation with the other party.
He hadn't expected the other party to actually be a member of the club.
After a few sentences, he successfully and naturally guided the conversation towards topics of luck and fortune through divination questions.
Afterward, this Mr. Grassias eagerly shared his investment plan with Luo En.
The general situation was that Lan'erwusi had discovered a rich iron ore deposit in the Hornacis Mountains. After buying it, due to a lack of subsequent funds, he was raising money from the public through shares.
After listening to the other party's description, Luo En lowered his head in thought.
Is this the mine owner Lan'erwusi mentioned in the transmigration guide?
And Hornacis… Luo En recalled the term he had deciphered from that notebook earlier.
Such a coincidence?
Is this fate?
