Chapter 720 Attending the Birthday Banquet Part 1
For decades as a peerless master of physiognomy and divination, he had been sought after fervently by countless wealthy patrons who spared no expense of gold to beg for a single fortune reading and guidance through life’s crossroads.Even so, vast numbers of people never got the chance to secure his services for a divination.Yet never in his long life had he met anyone like Alan, who harbored no desire whatsoever to peer into the future, track his fortune or pry into heaven’s hidden secrets — such a temperament was exceedingly rare to come by.Shock gave way to sincere admiration for the young man.He bowed respectfully toward Alan. Young Master Alan, may our karmic bond bring us together again someday.Alan nodded with a warm smile. Safe travels on your journey, venerable sir.When they returned to the parking lot, every guard stared at the pair in puzzlement, baffled how an elderly sage and a young stranger meeting for the very first time could have talked for so long.Well aware A
Chapter 719 Ten Extra Years of Life Part 2
It took him four years to locate Ridge Hill, construct the intricate feng shui formation across the mountain, and lift the Dragon Trapped in Shallows curse. Thanks to his efforts, the Smith Family pulled through their calamity, and Alan himself reaped tremendous benefits.All along, the elderly geomancer had waited patiently for Alan’s arrival, for the young man was the fated lifeline marked in the elder’s divination.With this realization, Alan bowed slightly toward the old sage. Venerable sir, I am deeply grateful for everything you’ve done; your labors have changed my fate entirely. Please accept my respectful obeisance.The elder hurried forward to stop him, speaking with profound humility. I possess neither the merit nor standing to receive such a grand gesture from you.Alan insisted firmly. You deserve it. Without your intervention, I would still be trapped bound to the shallow shallows to this day.The old man shook his head. Among all life destinies, the Dragon fate ranks sup
Chapter 718 Ten Years of Lifespan Part 1
Having finished speaking, he bent low and knocked his head nine times solemnly before the headstone.As the old saying goes, men kneel to heaven above, earth below, and parents in between. But in Alan’s eyes, neither heaven nor earth deserved his obeisance; his mother and father alone in all creation were worthy of his kowtow.Omba stepped forward then, dropping to one knee by the grave. Eldest brother, sister-in-law, I made a promise eighteen years ago, and I’ve kept my word at last — I’ve brought Alan home to you. Look at him now, a fine, outstanding young man, every inch the extraordinary talent you once were!He wiped away his tears and went on, The last time I visited your resting place, I thought I’d join you soon, yet Alan pulled me back from death’s door. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a while longer before I come to your side…Tears choked off Omba’s words as he broke down weeping.Nancy stepped up and knelt on one knee beside him, her voice quivering with sorrow. Eldest brot
Chapter 717 Paying Respects to His Parents Part 3
Even as the chairman of Austin Group, Omba edged his tone into something close to entreaty as he spoke to the guard. Young fellow, my body is still far from fully healed. Out of respect for my long-standing close bond with the Smith Family, could you bend the rules just this once? Surely you wouldn’t want to watch me lose my footing and tumble down these stone steps?The guard bowed deeply in response. Mr. Omba, I truly cannot make an exception. To do so would cost me my job.A flicker of irritation crossed Omba’s face, and he pressed sharply. These regulations are far too cold and inhumane! Our two families have been close allies for generations, yet I’m being treated like a complete stranger!The guard shifted awkwardly and replied, Truth be told, Mr. Omba, these rules were set by an elderly master geomancer. The clan head holds his counsel as inviolable law and has ordered us to abide by every stipulation without deviation. I beg your forgiveness.Frustration made Omba’s temper fla
Chapter 716 Paying Respects to His Parents Part 2
As they neared the foot of Ridge Hill, Omba turned to Alan. Alan, tell the driver to pull over. You take the wheel.Alan hoped to keep his identity hidden from any members of the Smith Family for the time being, so he and Omba had agreed the previous day that he would pose as Omba’s driver and personal assistant for the tomb visit.He nodded. Very well, Uncle Omba. I’ll drive.The chauffeur pulled the car to the roadside, handed a pair of sunglasses to Alan and said, Mr. Alan, these are for you.Alan put on the sunglasses, pulled a disposable face mask from his pocket, then climbed into the driver’s seat. The original driver did not remain in the vehicle and instead boarded one of the following escort cars.Alan steered the sedan onward. Upon reaching the base of Ridge Hill, a stately white marble archway came into view, with an automatic gate shut tight beneath it and several security guards standing sentinel on either side.The lead car halted before the gate, and the rest of the mo
Chapter 715 Paying Respects to His Parents Part 1
He had fully secured absolute sole decision-making authority. From this moment onward, his command over Austin Group climbed to an unprecedented level.This further bolstered market and investor confidence in Omba. Faith in the man naturally translated to faith in the conglomerate. With solid trust in the company established, shareholders grew confident in holding its stocks. As a result, share prices skyrocketed.Omba avoided drawn-out exchanges with the assembled reporters. After addressing all planned key points, he spoke: Moving forward, Austin Group will redouble our efforts to repay the trust placed in us by all investors and shareholders. Rest assured, we will deliver outstanding results worthy of your confidence.With that, he added, That concludes today’s press conference. Thank you all for coming.One journalist hastily stood up and called out, Chairman Omba, would you spare some time for a brief interview?Omba waved a hand to decline. No further interviews needed. I have s
