Book 4: Chapter 61:1: He Who Knows Fate Tricked You, Part 1

“So, how is it, my great prophet? How is my luck for the next few days?” Nightingale teased when she saw Chen Heng open his eyes.

“Cough! Cough! Your luck for the next few days is excellent. You will get everything you want. Furthermore, I predict that Exusiai’s first words later will be ‘Ahaha! Texas, it’s your turn! Madam Ch’en is truly strict, even though we are all familiar with each other already.’”

“Weren’t you predicting my luck? How did Exusiai get involved?”

“Isn’t it so I would appear more reliable?”

“You say it like it is true.”

Coincidentally, Exusiai came out right then.

“Ahaha! Texas, it’s your turn! Madam Ch’en is truly strict, even though we are all familiar with each other already.” Exusiai rubbed her head, yawning as she spoke.

After Exusiai said that, Texas, Skadi, and Nightingale looked at Chen Heng in shock.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

“Huh? Why are you all staring at He Who Knows Fate? Did something happen? Also, Texas, it’s your turn.”

“Alright, got it.” Texas was Texas, after all. She quickly adjusted her mental state, then stood up and entered the interrogation room.

However, only she knew whether she had recovered from her shock.

“What’s wrong with Texas? I rarely see her this shocked,” Exusiai curiously asked Chen Heng after sitting down.

“I only played a small psychological trick on her.”

Skadi: “...”

Nightingale: “...”

“I have a pen and paper in my hand right now. Think of a number, and I’ll simultaneously write a number on the paper. Do you believe the two numbers will be the same?” Chen Heng took out a pen and paper from somewhere and showed them to Exusiai.

“I don’t believe it.”

“It’s up to you whether you believe it. I don’t just know what Texas will say; I also know she will say this about 20 seconds after leaving the interrogation room.”

Exusiai wanted to say something when the interrogation room’s door opened. Then Texas silently returned to her seat. After that, the guard came out and brought Skadi in.

Texas only spoke about 20 seconds after exiting the interrogation room.

“Exusiai, I have something to tell you later.”

“Texas said exactly what you guessed she would say. He Who Knows Fate, did you collude with her to trick me?”

“How could that be? Think about it. Is Texas such a person?”

“That makes sense. He Who Knows Fate, you are incredible. Can you teach me this psychological trick? I would like to learn.” Excellent, Exusiai got swayed. She even believed the lie I casually spouted.

“...” Texas looked at Chen Heng before looking back at Exusiai. Then she guessed what had happened.

“Sorry. This psychological trick is a secret of my Chen Clan, the kind that is passed down to only males and not females.”

“Tsk! I don’t really care for it anyway.”

Chen Heng had to be the only person to use a high-ranked ability like Precognition to intimidate a young person like Exusiai.

Penguin Logistics’s lawyer arrived only after the fives had been interrogated. After a lengthy discussion, the Lungmen Guard Department finally let Chen Heng’s group go.

Emperor truly lived up to his reputation. His connections were really solid to be able to take people away from the Lungmen Guard Department directly.

[TL Note: Emperor is the founder and CEO of Penguin Logistics. Here is more information on him: /wiki/Emperor.]

After leaving the Lungmen Guard Department, Chen Heng, Nightingale, and Skadi parted ways with Exusiai and Texas. He used his Absolute Precognition to find a comfortable hotel they could stay at without getting into trouble for seven days.

If these seven days were compared to a game, Chen Heng was the person with the completion strategy. He knew where every side story would be and what rewards he would get. Since he already knew the results, he had to choose the most perfect ending.

Chen Heng booked three rooms in this five-star luxury hotel for an entire week.

If he had picked another hotel, some minor unpleasantness was possible, like there being just one room left. However, Chen Heng was already mentally fatigued, and he was afraid romantic events might happen.

For the sake of not being called a scumbag who only flirts but never commits, he did not intend to go down the paths of these side stories.

Of course, Chen Heng had chosen this hotel for another reason—its proximity to the Lungmen Guard Department. They arrived at this hotel after just a few steps.
