Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 118 Divination Content
Eve's sea-blue eyes swirled around, a hint of a smile showing through her. She had already guessed what Klein was fortune-telling about.

He leaned forward and patted Klein's shoulder. He placed his hand on Klein's shoulder and said in a joking tone, "Don't worry. I've encountered this kind of thing so many times in the past three thousand years that I can't even count it. It's happened to both men and women. I'm used to it."

men and women?
Klein's eyes widened immediately. This... was just something he said casually...

He slowly raised his head, his eyes flickered across Eve's face, and he fell silent.

A few seconds later, Klein grabbed Eve's wrist and slowly but forcefully pushed her back. He said with a hint of disdain, "You're already their ancestor, yet you still flirt with them."

Eve sat back in her chair, raised her hands and cried out that she was innocent.

Klein pretended to be deaf and dumb, ignoring Eve's wails. He stroked the topaz pendulum and said, "Hurry up and do your divination. Melissa is still waiting for you outside."

Eve withdrew her hand, sat up straight, put her hands on the table, and asked, "What do you want to divine?"

"That's my line," Klein complained. He looked up at Eve, then looked away.

Eve was indeed beautiful. He was a little dazed when he first saw her. However, any one of the three points, "Eve used to be a man," "Eve used to be his brother," and "Eve is now his sister," would make Klein lose his special thoughts, let alone all three at the same time.

He took off the citrine pendulum from his left hand, held it by the silver chain and placed it in the air. He waited for the pendulum to stop, then sighed and said, "I don't think I can tell your fortune with my skills."

Usually, the customer chooses the divination method, but He just wanted to have some fun and wasn't interested in how Klein performed the divination. As long as he did it, it was fine.

Klein guessed that if his sister asked him to do a divination, she would probably ask some simple questions that could be used with a pendulum.

Eve laughed, leaned forward, reached out and grasped the pendulum in Klein's hand. With a slight force, she took it out of Klein's hand.

The citrine pendulum, which had just been still, began to swing again, and Eve raised the pendulum in front of Klein.

Klein was stunned for a moment, his gaze shifted slightly, swept across Eve, then retracted his gaze and stared at the topaz pendulum again.

The originally swinging pendulum immediately paused, and then slowly rotated in a clockwise direction.

Eve raised her hand, and the yellow crystal was pulled up by the silver chain, drew an arc, and fell into his palm.

The girl smiled slightly and threw the pendulum towards Klein.

Klein immediately stretched out his hands and caught the pendulum steadily.

"Let's do some divination," Eve said with a smile, half leaning against the backrest. "I'll do some divination. The divination method is optional."

Klein's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He wrapped the topaz pendulum around his left hand, looking somewhat puzzled, but he still seriously considered what divination method to use.

Dream divination is the most suitable... Klein pondered in his mind and pulled out a piece of white paper and wrote "Content of Eve's Divination" on it.

After checking that everything was correct, he held it in his hand.

"Do you need me to leave?" Eve asked, pointing to the door.

Klein shook his head, half-lying in the chair, and quickly fell asleep with the help of meditation.

In a trance, Klein saw a table of delicious food in an unfamiliar room: cheese steak, lamb stewed with tender peas, and beef stewed with potatoes...

The scene lasted only a moment. Klein woke from his dream, rubbed his brow, and said hesitantly, "Uh... dinner?"

Eve burst out laughing. "He" said nothing. She took out eight pennies from her wallet and handed it to Klein.

"No," Klein waved his hand and refused. "I must have made a mistake in the divination." From Eve's reaction, it was clear that his divination results were absolutely far from the actual situation, and he was embarrassed to accept the money.

"Even if the divination result is wrong, you still have to pay, right?" Eve said with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Klein immediately realized that Eve was probably talking about him asking Gracis to do divination.

At that time, he asked Mr. Glacis to predict whether the Antigonus family notes had been picked up by anyone. Mr. Glacis gave the result that no, but in fact, it had already been taken away by Riel Biber.

"And you're not wrong." Eve said with a smile: "8 pence, only 8 pence, it's a sign of respect for divination."

Klein's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he was suddenly speechless due to embarrassment.

"I'm leaving now. Think carefully about how to explain it to Melissa."

Eve stood up and walked out of the room slowly.

Klein suddenly felt a headache when he thought about the sudden rain he would face when he returned home.

……

Klein got home later than usual tonight, but he still rushed back before Benson got home.

After opening the door, the only person who welcomed him was Melissa, who was sitting on the sofa and looked unhappy.

Melissa gave Bella a day off and waited for Klein at home alone.

"Melissa, I'm back."

Klein tried his best to imitate his usual tone, pretending to be unaware.

"Klein," Melissa immediately stood up from the sofa after hearing Klein's voice and said with a serious expression, "I need to discuss something with you."

Klein appropriately displayed a hint of confusion and surprise, then nodded and said, "Okay."

"Klein," Melissa took a deep breath and walked up to him. "I went to the Fortune Teller Club in Howls today. The receptionist there said you're a real fortune teller."

"Klein, I don't know when you first became interested in divination, but as a hobby, a legitimate hobby, even though it's surprising that you're a true fortuneteller, I still support you."

"But Klein, you have to explain to me..." Melissa's expression grew increasingly serious. She clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands and asked, "Your membership fee is five pounds. Where does this income come from?"

"Also, is there really a company in Klein that would give a historical consultant who's only been employed for a few weeks a promotion and a raise? Does the job of a historical consultant really require learning martial arts?"

Klein's face showed a hint of surprise, as if he hadn't expected Melissa to ask this. He said in a panic, "Melissa, all my income is legal."

"Of course I know," Melissa said seriously, "I'm just worried that you've been cheated by that company."

really……

Klein's expression softened somewhat, but he was secretly thinking about how to further deepen the misunderstanding.

Only when Melissa becomes suspicious will she continue to explore and finally unearth something extraordinary.
