Chapter 253: Coffee Divination (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"Bait?"
William asked, puzzled.
"Haven't you realized? In reality, your family is an Extraordinary family; it originates from the heritage of an ancient family, and you are its blood descendant."
Aaron looked at William's slightly purple-tinted pupils and smiled: "Your branch is nearly extinct, and this is not for natural reasons, but because you were hunted by a certain dark force... Don't tell me you haven't had the slightest vague suspicion! Think about your parents' deaths; do you really believe that was just an ordinary accident?"
"Dark force..." William's eyes gradually turned somewhat bloodshot, and he growled: "Who are they?"
"I have some guesses, which is why I kept you here. They will come looking sooner or later anyway; you are my Fish Bait..."
"The Sotos Family that one can never bypass in Occultism research?" William sighed: "Then who is my enemy?"
Hunter Bar.
"I think it's a waste for the bar to only open at night. The daytime hours could also be utilized as a café. What do you think of this concept?"
"Tomorrow? In the morning?"
If his parents were truly murdered by a dark force, then he must have his revenge!
His own strength was too weak, but there happened to be a Mysterious person nearby whose power he could borrow!
This was the best choice!
"As long as an Extraordinary's Spirituality is high enough, they can always obtain some revelations, but interpretation is the most critical link. Otherwise, even if one obtains the correct revelation, one might interpret it into a wrong conclusion... Therefore, it requires rich Occultism knowledge and a profound foundation."
"Besides that, if the target of the divination is very complex, more interpretation is needed... For example, the appearance of a symbol representing an eye means one is being watched by danger; the appearance of a blank rectangle represents wealth; the appearance of a snake shape represents death..."
Aaron asked.
Aaron said with a sigh.
William Xiaer, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, pushed open the bar door with a look of trepidation: "Mr. Bote, I'm here."
"A wise choice. Now... go back and rest, and come in for overtime tomorrow morning!"
But... he was still very scared.
He vaguely felt that the boss treated him well and even taught him Occultism knowledge regarding divination.
"General symbols can be interpreted into many broad categories; the most intuitive is that a circle represents affirmation and success, while a triangle represents failure and negation..."
William continued to grumble inwardly, but a smile appeared on his face: "A very clever concept, a genius idea, Boss!"
Aaron curled his lip, looking at William who had brought the coffee, and commented thus.
William was somewhat hesitant: "I still have classes... No, Boss, I will definitely be there!"
In his heart, he could almost confirm that William was a descendant of his nephew Xia Ya's branch.
"Now... tell me, will you continue to hide like a rat in a sewer, or stand up and bravely fight against all of this?" Aaron asked.
The next day.
"The form of divination is not important... The most important things are our pure Spirituality and our status... As long as your Spirituality is pure enough and the borrowed influence and status are high enough, the 'Tower' is actually a very suitable path for divination!"
"Boss, you said my family belongs to a bloodline branch of an ancient family... Then which family is it exactly?"
Morning.
'He isn't scaring me; he really is prepared to do that!'
William shivered at Aaron's cold gaze and muttered to himself.
William looked at the tree branch formed by the coffee grounds, speechless: "I... I seem to see a Mysterious symbol representing 'Electric'... I can't interpret it, Boss, what are you divining?"
As Aaron spoke, he placed the white bone china saucer upside down on the coffee cup.
"I examined your family tree and am divining the source of your bloodline. I had some vague guesses in my heart before, and just now I was making the final confirmation."
"The performance is slightly exaggerated."
"Hmm, go brew me a cup of coffee."
"Bo... Boss, and what about Isabet... what should I do?" William asked hesitantly.
Aaron nodded.
William couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
Compared to Jinni's descendants, Xia Ya's descendants clearly lived much more miserable lives.
'Don't make it like an opera house; I'm not some Prince seeking revenge...' William complained in his heart, but his clenched fists proved he was not calm: "I choose... to stay!"
Aaron did not mind telling William about his intention to use him: "Of course, this is also because you previously had no thoughts of using a Curse to climb the ladder; otherwise, I would have turned you into a corpse in the Dosom River!"
William grumbled in his heart, but still obediently went behind the bar counter and indeed saw brand-new coffee brewing equipment.
'If he doesn't hire new employees, he's just exploiting us old employees. I demand a raise.'
'We are a bar here! A bar!'
"Yes, yes!"
Aaron placed the saucer steadily on the tabletop: "You interpret it..."
Only then did Aaron's voice reach his ears: "Have you heard of 'Coffee Divination'?"
"I... I have heard of divination and prophecy, but I have never heard of coffee being used for divination... Moreover, divination has always been the privilege of high-level 'Shadow' and 'Secret'... I am on the path of pursuing knowledge and wisdom."
Liliyat at least had the Green Banyan Council protecting her, while on William's side, he was likely the only one left alive.
William shivered and stood up straight subconsciously.
"Shake the cup and saucer, silently recite the question you want to divine in your heart, and then turn the cup and saucer upside down..."
William replied.
Aaron remarked.
"Very good, don't think that just because you've established a low-class organization or Cult and become a leader of Secret Teachings, you don't have to work overtime! A corporate slave is always a corporate slave!"
Aaron was reading a newspaper leisurely at the table and ordered without looking up.
That was probably an aftereffect left over from the wine cellar earlier.
Aaron replied in his heart, then said casually, "You have no right to ask this question, now get out and get to work!"
He opened the coffee cup and gazed at the patterns formed by the coffee grounds residue on the saucer: "Finally, by interpreting the patterns and symbolic Talismans revealed by these grounds... this is 'Coffee Divination'!"
"Another Sotos, a descendant of Sean!"
William's expression collapsed.
He dared not leave, nor did he dare to make any unnecessary movements, standing by like a waiter as he watched Aaron finish his coffee in a leisurely manner.
"It is, of course, the founder of the Fabri Dynasty, the inheritor of ancient Mysterious knowledge, the surname made great by the Green Forest Earl—Sotos!" Aaron laughed: "You are a descendant of the Sotos Family!"
"You seem to have also formed a small faction, hehe... I am not interested in how you preach, but be more low-key in your actions from now on; if you attract the Investigation Bureau, you know the consequences."
Aaron gave a warning.
