Chapter 19: Terrifying

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

A four-star tracking talent was definitely the most talented person Xia Xu had ever seen, aside from Tang Youxin.

Although Xue Mingjie and Yao Dawu were supporting roles in «Person About to Die», they were playing the role of ‘hidden master’ to a certain extent. They used their gambling skills to show off Zhang Jianmin’s luck. This showed that a three-star talent was already very strong.

How strong is a four-star talent? No matter what, it is one level higher. At the very least, it should be higher than Xue Mingjie and the rest in his respective industry, right?

Moreover, Yang Bowen not only had a four-star tracking talent, but also two complementing three-star talents that were investigative and intelligence gathering. He was a natural hunter, detective, and scout.

But obviously, the most terrifying person was not Yang Bowen, but the silly little white flower next to him.

How ridiculous was Tang Youxin’s five-star fortune to husband destiny to have sent this man to his doorstep by ‘luck’?

After all, this was not the complete effect of Fortune to Husband.

‘No, that’s not right. With luck alone, I shouldn’t have achieved this kind of success. This situation might have triggered the so-called probability of good luck, similar to sudden strokes of luck or lucky encounters.’

Xia Xu forced himself to calm down. He took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to grab the little white flower and get married.

No matter how powerful a five-star destiny was, it shouldn’t be to the point where he could make wishes as he wished. Otherwise, it would no longer be luck, but some kind of supernatural ability. Moreover, it was a god-level ability that could interfere with fate.

This incident was probably just a lucky break, just like someone suddenly winning a lottery.

Moreover, this kind of luck was not absolute, and he needed someone to take the initiative to seize it. So what if Yang Bowen took the initiative to deliver it to him? If he didn’t have the ability to check his character status out of habit, this person would have just left.

The same was true for Xue Mingjie. If he didn’t check his character status, he wouldn’t have been able to see the storyline of Person About to Die, and he wouldn’t have known how to benefit from the plot.

Therefore, when he thought about it calmly, he realized that this luck enhancement was not heaven-defying. At most, it would only create an opportunity. Whether he could realize or grasp it depended on himself.

This was exactly what he meant—opportunities were left for those who were prepared.

‘However… this doesn’t seem to make any difference to me…’

Xia Xu looked at the character status in front of him again.

With the ability to check status, it was difficult to say anything else, but it was almost impossible for him to miss out on opportunities such as talents and storylines. He could perfectly display the effect of Fortune to Husband.

Of course, this was not the time to let his imagination run wild. Xia Xu only thought for a moment before quickly calling out to Yang Bowen, “Wait, sir, I thought about it and decided to open today. It’s not good to chase the guest out on the first day of business.”

“It’s fine, I don’t even know what you guys are doing exactly.”

Yang Bowen turned around with an awkward expression.

“This is a consultation company, but we are actually taking on the business of a private investigator. We can also do psychological consultations, business consultations, emotional consultations, and so on. We can even help people read their fortunes if necessary.”

Xia Xu smiled and motioned for Yang Bowen to sit down first. He also found a chair to sit on and said, “To put it simply, we are here to help people get rid of their troubles. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Don’t worry, today is not the official opening day, so the consultation is free.”

“How can I…”

Yang Bowen said, but perhaps because he was depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to, he took advantage of the situation and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that when people are middle-aged, they have nothing to do. Every couple will definitely have their quarrels, so I got kicked out after fighting with my wife…”

“Can you tell me why you fought?”

Xia Xu acted as a good listener and listened quietly. When Yang Bowen paused, he immediately played along.

“Little brother, you haven’t married yet, so you might not understand.”

Yang Bowen shook his head bitterly and said, “My wife is quite talkative. She likes to compete with others.”

“She is not a gold digger. She just liked to compare herself to others, talking about who was better, whose husband was promoted, paid, and became a big boss.”

“I was so tired today, so I went back home and she kept talking. I was used to ignoring her, but my son started to chime in saying that he wanted a powerful father.”

“I know children’s words carry no harm, but for some reason, the anger in my head kept increasing. I was so angry that I lost my temper…”

Perhaps it was because Yang Bowen thought of the scene back then, the bitterness on his face became stronger, and a sense of dejection appeared. He said in a lonely tone, “Sigh… It’s my fault for being useless…”

A child’s words were harmless, but the more childish they were, the more hurtful they were.

He was used to his wife’s nagging, but his son’s unintentional words that he learned from his mother completely destroyed his energy.

Every day, he worked hard to support the family, but in the end, even his child complained that he was useless and poor. There was nothing more depressing than this.

In layman’s terms, his defenses were broken.

“No, no, no. As the saying goes, everyone is born with their talents. No one is completely useless. Maybe it’s not because you are useless, but because you haven’t discovered your own ability.”

Xia Xu suddenly smiled.

“I haven’t discovered my ability? What do you mean?”

Yang Bowen was slightly taken aback. He seemed to be in better spirits.

Xia Xu did not answer directly, instead he asked, “Brother, what is your surname?”

“My surname is Yang, Yang Bowen.”

Yang Bowen said.

“Okay then, I’ll call you Brother Yang first. If I’m not wrong, Brother Yang should be a truck driver, right?”

Xia Xu smiled and said.

“How… how did you know?”

Yang Bowen was shocked.

“Didn’t I say just now that my consultation services include fortune-telling?”

Xia Xu had a mysterious look on his face, but he soon couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m just joking. In fact, I already said just now that although I’m a consultancy, my main business is private investigation. Since I dare to work in this field, I have to be capable.”

“Investigator? Oh, I know, my son seems to like to watch that kind of detective elementary school kid.”

Obviously, compared to fortune-telling, this statement was easier to accept.. After Yang Bowen heard this, he had a look of surprise and praise on his face. “So you know that I am a truck driver through your observations?”
