Daniel took out the little clay pot and poured out the used Fate Seeker. Sophia burst into laughter sight. With a look of disdain, she mocked Daniel, “What on earth is that thing?”

“Fate Seeker,” Daniel replied simply. 

“Fate Seeker?” Sophia eyed the shriveled remains of the Fate Seeker in Daniel’s hand. “Its head looks like 

a long–horned beetle, and its body like a cicada. This insect sure is weird.” 

River Yu chuckled derisively. “This so–called ‘Fate Seeker‘ is not a natural creature, it’s a man–made 

object, and this cheat is using it to deceive people.” 

“Man–made?” Sophia looked at River Yu with anticipation. “Master Yu, do you know how this thing is Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Sophia had no sway over Isabella, but Daniel was just Isabella’s assistant, practically her underling. If she couldn’t get to the master, she thought she might as well settle the score with his dog to make herself 

feel better. 

“What high–level skill could you expect from a country bumpkin? He probably just twisted off the head of a long–horned beetle and the body of a cicada and glued them together. That’s how he made this so–called ‘ 

Fate Seeker,” River Yu sneered.

If you use it as a medicinal ingredient, I bet it could even cure cancer. Naturally, it’d be much more expensive than a cancer drug. Just this one here could sell for at least a million!” 

River Yu erupted into laughter upon hearing Daniel’s words. “You’re calling that glued–together trash capable of curing cancer and selling for a million? Even the biggest fool, one who’s flushed their brain. down the toilet, wouldn’t buy your nonsense.” 

Looking puzzled, River Yu turned to Daniel. “With this ‘Fate Seeker‘ of yours, what exactly are you planning. 

to do?” 

“I’m going to use it to lift the curse,” said Daniel. 

His response triggered another round of mocking laughter from River Yu. After he finished laughing, he spoke with disdain. “So you’re saying you can lift Mr. Chris’s so–called curse with that shriveled insect 

corpse?” 

“Master Yu, are you admitting that Mr. Chris is under a curse you’ve cast?” Daniel inquired. 

“What curse I’ve cast? Mr. Chris is not cursed at all–he’s just having heart trouble. Quit spewing

There’s no curse on Mr. Chris to start with. Are you planning to grind that insect corpse into powder and feed it to Mr. Chris? After you feed it to him, you’ll claim that any bugs in Mr. Chris’s stomach were killed

I’ve seen plenty of these old tricks. Trying to deceive me with this is futile. Even Mr. Chris has been in the business world for decades; how could you possibly fool him, you country kid?”
