Dragon Master novel Maximilian novel Chapter 396

Master Stevens pretended to look around in the building shed and went back to the entrance together with Victoria in a serious expression.

Maximilian finally felt released after seeing that Victoria was fine.

Andrew and the others hurriedly surrounded Master Stevens and began to ask his opinion towards the geomantic omen of this place.

“Master Stevens, what do you think of the geomantic omen? Do we need to make any adjustment?”

Master Stevens shook his head gloomily and sighed, “This is not a good place to build a factory. If we take construction here, someone will die every year.”

Andrew and Darian showed a terrible look. It was important for a factory to guard the workers’ safety. They have to spend a lot of time handling the compensation problem if the workers die.

“How, how could it be? Why does this place have a sinister omen? Please help us to solve this problem.” Darian was pretty anxious.

Mr Morgan and the others all frowned. It was troublesome if somebody died during construction. Mr Morgan was planning to refuse this job if Master Stevens didn’t want to handle this problem.

Maximilian held Victoria’s hand and walked out of the crowd. He whispered, “Is this liar lying to you?”

“Liar? How can you assert that he is a liar?” Victoria looked at Maximilian in surprise. She didn’t understand why Maximilian said Master Stevens was lying to them.

There were so many people who were surrounding Master Stevens with respect. If he was a fraud, then many of them would be cheated.

Maximilian said casually, “This feudal superstition is actually a way of cheating. If Master Stevens is a master with strength, Andrew cannot afford the fee to invite him here. Let’s make it simple. Andrew can only find liars who want to cheat his money.”

Victoria didn’t know how to reply him. She thought over Master Stevens’ words and found there was nothing suspicious. The only thing made her difficult to believe was that he said he knew the way to slow down aging.

Most people believed there existed a recipe to keep healthy, even Victoria was convinced by him. She simply thought Master Stevens wanted to sell his techniques about how to keep healthy. It was not lying, but a marketing skill to make money.

“Nothing. I don’t think he is a fraud. He told me that there was a way to get rid of geomantic omen and he only needed me to help him. Well, I’m actually a bit confused. I don’t know what he wants me to do.”

Maximilian was also confused. Maybe his judgement was wrong? However, what Master Stevens behaved liked nothing but a fraud. He was simply good at pretending.

Seeing Maximilian frowning, Victoria reached out her hand to rub his eyebrow, “Don’t worry. What he wants is just money. We can find whether he is lying or not when he asks money from us.”

“Well, fine, we will see.” Maximilian answered in a deep voice.

Master Stevens pretended to be a master and said in a timid manner, “This place really has a strong geomantic omen to handle. Although I can manage to deal with this properly, it will cost me a great deal of strength. So I am wondering whether I should help you or not.”

Andrew and Darian looked at each other. They both figured out that Master Stevens was trying to ask for more money. They became hesitated and didn’t know how much money they should pay.
