Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 228 - Chapter 228 Chapter 228 Communication

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Communication Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Communication Miles left with an air of elegance, even without understanding the full story, Roger could feel the sense of pride emanating from him.

“What happened?”

“It seems that the so-called exchange wasn’t as smooth as you said.”

Hathaway’s mood was still somewhat downcast.

“Alright then.”

She began to gather the cards on the table.

“I must admit, Roger,”

“the accuracy of the divination is truly astonishing.” Hathaway’s mood lightened up a bit as they talked about divination.

“I thought you would attribute all this to coincidence.”

“In the world of spirit mediums, there are no coincidences, everything is determined by fate.”

Hathaway sighed.

“Do you remember the exchange I mentioned to you earlier?”

“This exchange was initiated by the renowned Dream Diviner Egger, publicly promoted to advance research and communication on divination within the Spiritual Energy Fraction.”

“In fact, this was just one of the purposes of the exchange, it was also a rare opportunity; those who came to participate were young people who had only recently become spirit mediums.”

“Madam Egger would look for a young person to become her student during the event, to follow her and learn about spiritual energy and divination.”

“At the beginning of the exchange, certain spiritual aspects of my performance in divination caught Madam Egger’s attention, but during the subsequent evaluation, something happened.”

“After the completion of the exchange that day, someone came to me, hoping I would withdraw from the event.”

“Later, I found out from other participants that Miles’s sister was one of the three disciples of Madam Egger.”

“Not ordinary students, but disciples who could gain real knowledge and experience.”

“It seems the exchange was fought for by his sister, and everything we saw was laying the groundwork for her brother.”

“The person who came to me that day was naturally sent by his sister.”

“This Miles actually has real skills; I might not have beaten him in a fair competition, but although he seems polite, these kinds of behind-the-scenes threats…”

Hathaway shook her head.

“Even though I want to join the Spiritual Energy Fraction, I also don’t want to bring trouble upon myself. I was feeling very irritable, so I ran to the bar planning to have a few drinks.”

Hathaway shrugged her shoulders.

“And then I met you, and what just happened.”

“You won, my mood indeed went from sunny to cloudy, a pleasant evening just got ruined.”

It was apparent that although Hathaway’s mood had improved, her initial good spirits had completely vanished.

“The exchange?”

“How many days are left?”

“Three,” Hathaway replied.

Roger smiled, “Do you want to become Madam Egger’s student?”

“Of course, but Miles’s sister…”

“Don’t think about the influence of his sister. If she really had that much influence, then there would be no need for this exchange at all, she could have made her brother Madam Egger’s student directly.”

“The fact that you’ve encountered this only proves that although she has influence, it’s not as strong as you imagined.”

“Do you want to win big for once?”

Roger gathered all the cards.

“Do you want to directly become Madam Egger’s disciple?”

Roger tapped on the table and pointed to the Gwent Cards on it, “There are three days left, which is enough time. Three days, you and I, along with this deck of Gwent Cards, could make a huge splash during the entire exchange.”

“By then everything will naturally fall into place!”

“Us?”

Hathaway was still hesitant.

“What, you don’t trust my abilities?”

“Or do you not believe in the divination results of the Gwent Cards?”

At this time, Roger was full of confidence, blindly believing in the effects of Gwent Card divination before having put it into practice, a belief built on the foundation of trust in Hunter’s Cabin.

Yet everything that had just happened pinpointed a precise moment when the Gwent Cards successfully divined the desired outcome, with a frightening level of accuracy.

Armed with this complete and advanced divination theory, plus four sets of mature Gwent Cards, Roger was confident that he could sweep through the entire trading meeting over the next three days.

He planned to turn all the young Spirit Mediums attending the meeting into Gwent fanatics.

“To have someone to play cards with, I actually have to change the world.”

“Ah, my life is so hard.”

Hearing Roger’s words, the light in Hathaway’s eyes grew brighter.

“What’s your plan?”

“Honestly, if it wasn’t for my trust in you, I would have left when you started setting up.”

“It looks nothing like divination, it’s just too much like a game.”

“If we were to just put it on the table tomorrow, I don’t think anyone would want to try it.”

“There wouldn’t even be anyone who would come up to ask about or understand it.”

No divination is 100% successful, and the precision of that recent divination had been surprising enough.

As a standalone and complete divination technique, it was actually sufficient; Hathaway’s only concern was the presentation of the Gwent Cards.

“What do you mean ‘like’? It is a game, after all.”

Roger thought to himself, but he reassured Hathaway aloud.

“Don’t worry, leave everything to me.”

“It’s getting late, and we have the trading meeting tomorrow, let me take you back.”

There were still important things to do.

In the end, Roger silently added one more thought in his heart.

“Alright.”

Hathaway’s mood had returned to normal, and seeing Miles hadn’t affected her any longer.

The street lights of Kazhen were dazzling, and the city’s nightlife seemed to have just begun. On their way back, Hathaway asked Roger many questions about the operating principles and card interpretation knowledge of the Gwent Cards.

The more she learned, the more astonished the look on Hathaway’s face became.

A vast world, complex relationships, and personalities, all interlinked–it certainly wasn’t work that could be completed by one person in a day or two.

For this, Roger still attributed the credit to ancestors that didn’t exist at all.

Hathaway lived in a nearby hotel, not far from the coffee shop. They slowed their pace and took more than 20 minutes to return to the hotel.

“Alright, I’ve brought you back to the hotel, my task is complete.”

Roger stood at the door, he saw the flickering flame in the girl’s eyes across from him.

The next second his neck tightened, and he was drawn into the room by a sudden force.

Hathaway whispered into Roger’s ear.

“Task completed?”

“No, your task is just beginning.”

The two quickly got into the mood, and in the midst of their intense struggle, Hathaway suddenly remembered something.

“Before we started that round of Gwent Cards just now, what was the question you divined?”

Roger’s eyes flickered, but he replied truthfully:

“Aren’t we doing it right now?”

“Shameless!”

Hathaway scolded with a coquettish shout, “I really should have kicked you out with one kick just now!”
