After speaking, the girl ran to her friends and started borrowing money.
Chen Heng could hear words like “fraud,” “Master,” “incredible,” and “destined one.”
Efreet: What’s going on? Aren’t you breaking couples up? Why did you help her find her destined one?
He Who Knows Fate: I do not get in the way of true love.
Magus of Flowers: Tsk!
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: At least you have a conscience.
Queen of Ice and Snow: To think you could bear to use your electromagnetic ability to scare a young lady.
He Who Knows Fate: What are you saying? What is unbearable about it? I’m also a high-school student.

Over the next hour, Chen Heng’s stall attracted many custors. Who knows whether it was because he appeared professional or because of the girl’s advertisent for him?
Chen Heng only had one rule. If it was about love, he only charged one LMD. If it were about anything else, it would depend on his mood.
So people believed in Chen Heng after he read their love fortune and would try asking for more divination. However, most of them asked for things like lottery numbers, things he would not reveal. He also would not entertain finance or stock questions.
Furthermore, Chen Heng would warn every custor about a heavenly punishnt while making use of the supernatural. He would persist until the Absolute Precognition verified that person would not talk about anything but love. Only then would he let that custor go.
During this ti, Chen Heng had indeed broken a few couples up. Of course, it did not happen imdiately. Instead, it would happen after the couple followed his instructions and a series of coincidences occurred.
Chen Heng also maintained a bottom line. He would not break up true love. What he broke were the relationships with no firm foundations and would have terrible results. Most of these were high-school students, even middle-school students. This was truly an eye-opener for Chen Heng.
Chen Heng appeared professional and looked very sharp. Furthermore, he only charged one LMD, so people were willing to try.
Of course, so who tried would end up breaking up.
Now, a group of downtown gangsters surrounded Chen Heng’s stall, demanding a protection fee.
“Be reasonable, alright? I just did a few divinations and only charged one LMD each ti. What protection fee is there?” Chen Heng looked helplessly at the burly n standing before him.
“Cut the crap. Big Brother Fei said to pay, so just do it. Otherwise, this great will smash your stall!” one of the lackeys behind this Big Brother Fei shouted at Chen Heng ferociously and slamd his hand on the table.
Although these hoodlums appeared very ferocious, Chen Heng did not feel afraid at all; he even felt like laughing.
After that, Chen Heng pulled out a tal rebar from under the table. A certain kind-hearted man had left it behind after a divination.
“Oy! Little brat, are you thinking of fighting us?”
“No, no, no. I’m a cultured person, so I’ve decided to give you a butterfly knot.”
“Butterfly knot? Are you crazy?”
Chen Heng smiled at the leader. Then, he started bending the rebar with his bare hands without speaking.
“Big-Big Brother, I think we targeted a challenging opponent.”
“What nonsense! I can see for myself!” When Big Brother Fei saw Chen Heng bend the two-fingerbreadth-thick rebar like clay, his legs turned into jelly.
“What are you doing? Quickly scatter. Also, you, the fortune-teller. Co with to the Lungn Guard Departnt.” Chen Heng heard a familiar voice in the distance. The gangsters looked in that direction and saw it was a Lungn Guard Departnt mber. Furthermore, it was the Special Inspection Unit Chief, so they promptly fled. However, they did not forget to put on a brave front before leaving.
“Brat, consider yourself lucky! If not for the Lungn Guard Departnt, this great would have shown you what it ans to be cruel!”
Is this what the adage, slapping one’s face until it swelled to look impressive, ans?
Chen Heng did not get angry. Instead, he only raised a finger and sent so electricity into the group’s bodies. He believed this electricity would give them an extrely “comfortable” night.
“Ah! It’s Madam Ch’en! Good evening. Many thanks for saving .” Chen Heng did not feel surprised. Instead, he remained in place, not moving at all.
“That’s not saving you. Rather, it’s those hoodlums that got saved. If you really fought, you wouldn’t even need a hand to handle the entire group. After all, you are a high-level operator from Rhodes Island.” Ch’en glanced at the two-fingerbreadth-thick rebar bent into a butterfly knot on Chen Heng’s table.
“However, you did help preserve this stall.”
“I say, you are quite strange. You just got brought to the Lungn Guard Departnt because of a gunfight in the afternoon. Now, you co out here to start a fraudulent divination stall. Furthermore, aren’t you an Aegir? Why do you use Yan’s divination?”
“Madam Ch’en, this is not fraudulent. I’m the real deal. Furthermore, I only divine love and charge only one LMD each ti. Is that even a scam?”
“…One LMD is still money. Don’t tell you look down on one LMD? Speaking of which, your mindset is truly strange. You actually only divine love? No matter what, you still have to co back to the Lungn Guard Departnt for setting up a stall without approval.” After that, Ch’en took action, extending her left hand towards Chen Hang’s hand. Furthermore, she held handcuffs in her right.
“Wait. I have sothing to say.” Chen Heng dodged the attempted arrest as if he had known in advance.
“Pretty good reflexes. You live up to being a high-level operator. What do you have to say?”
“How about this? I’ll do a divination for you for free. If I’m right, you let go. If I’m wrong, I’ll go to the Lungn Guard Departnt with you without resisting. How about that?”
“Please begin your performance, then.” Ch’en initially did not want to play gas with Chen Heng. Unfortunately, Chen Heng was a Rhodes Island Sniper and would be pretty skilled. Ch’en would have to put in so effort before she could catch him if he ran (or so she thought.)
“Alright. Pull out a bamboo strip from the lots container.” Chen Heng held out the container to Ch’en.
“Aren’t you even going to ask what I want to divine? Even for fraud, this is too unskilled, right?” Ch’en casually drew a bamboo strip from the container and handed it to Chen Heng without even looking.
“I’ve already said. This is not fraud. Furthermore, my divination does not depend on what you want to see, but what I can see.” Chen Heng received the bamboo strip Ch’en handed over and casually tossed it back into the container after a glance.
“That’s it? Start your performance, then. Let’s see if you can convince . However, I don’t care whether you fail to convince after you speak or stay silent; you will have to co back to the Lungn Guard Departnt with .”
“Madam Ch’en, has anyone told you that you are too strict?”
“Yes, several.”
