Fangzheng, Hu Tao, and Kuang San were keenly aware that when Katie's father shouted, the expressions of the staff around him changed drastically. Those who were further away did not react at first, but soon, they seemed to notice something, and their faces turned pale.
This was not surprise, nor was it astonishment, but … fear.
"Father?"
Looking at her father's frightened expression, Katie was a little puzzled, but she still handed over the goods list.
"Look, this is the goods list …."
"Don't come any closer!"
However, what surprised Katie was that at this moment, her father snarled and retreated as though he had seen something filthy. Then, he picked up something from the side and flung it at Katie without looking at it.
"Get out! Get out! Get out of here right now!! "
"Wait, what are you doing?"
Seeing this scene, Hu Tao was shocked. She hurriedly rushed forward, pulled Katie away, and stood in front of her. However, Catie's father only glared at them fiercely, looking like a ferocious, hungry wolf. Not only that, the staff around them also glared fiercely at Katie.
"Do you know how much Katie suffered to bring these goods back? Is this how you treat your daughter?"
Hu Tao was also furious, but Katie's father didn't care what she said at all. He just waved his hand.
"Get out! Get out of my Chamber of Commerce! Guards, guards!! Get them out!! "
"You …."
Looking at Katie's father's attitude, Hu Tao immediately took out a shovel from behind her. At that moment, Kuang San stepped forward and put his hand on Hu Tao's shoulder.
"Sister Kuang San?"
"Don't cause trouble here. Let's leave first."
"… Woo …"
Upon hearing Kuang San's warning, Hu Tao gripped the shovel in her hand tightly. Frankly speaking, she really wanted to cause a ruckus here. However, after being a mercenary for so long, Hu Tao had matured a lot. She looked at Katie behind her and the guards who had drawn their swords at each other. In the end, she stomped her foot fiercely.
"Humph! Let's go! Katie! "
As she spoke, Hu Tao glared at those people, then reached out to pull Katie and turned to leave. Kuang San also smiled faintly and turned to leave. Only Fangzheng looked meaningfully at Katie's father and the Chamber of Commerce … She could see how dazzling the threads of fate that emerged from Katie's father were.
Their fates were intertwined with the Chamber of Commerce.
"What kind of people are they?!"
After leaving the Sacred Silver Chamber with Katie, Hu Tao finally couldn't help but complain.
"What kind of father is he?! His daughter has suffered so much. It wasn't easy for her to come back, but he just chased her out! "
"Woo … Woo …"
Katie finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She lowered her head and cried softly.
"Ah, don't cry … Don't cry …"
Seeing Katie in such a state, Hu Tao panicked and hurriedly comforted her. But even Hu Tao didn't know what to do because it was the first time she encountered such a thing.
Seeing this scene, Kuang San shook her head and looked at Fangzheng.
"Xiao Hong, what do you think?"
"What do I think?"
Hearing Kuang San's question, Fangzheng snorted softly.
"It's simple. I've found the source of Katie's bad luck … Kuang San, do you know what a human pillar is?"
"This … Of course I know."
Hearing this, Kuang San frowned and replied softly. Human pillars were a common ritual in ancient times. Simply put, it was to use living people as sacrifices to ensure the smooth completion of a construction project or the smooth completion of a ritual.
"Katie is the human pillar of the Sacred Silver Chamber."
"Huh …?"
"I did a quick check just now."
Fangzheng looked at Katie and said to Kuang San in a low voice.
"The Sacred Silver Chamber's luck is unexpectedly good. They're like Europeans, and … their luck is too perfect. It's almost like it's artificial. Can you imagine a Chamber of Commerce that doesn't encounter any problems in the process of development, that is always smooth sailing, that is always what they want? Isn't it a little fake? "
"So what you're saying is …"
Hearing this, Kuang San's expression changed slightly. Fangzheng nodded.
"They've transferred all the bad luck the Chamber of Commerce has encountered to Katie alone. That is to say, as long as Katie is always unlucky, the Sacred Silver Chamber will always be smooth sailing and develop smoothly until she dies."
As he spoke, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile.
"Perhaps this is the reason why Katie has failed in everything she has done since she was a child. Every time she fails, she helps the Sacred Silver Chamber offset a 'bad luck'. But this time is interesting. We've helped Katie successfully resist so many bad luck along the way, so the bad luck hasn't been offset, but has instead 'accumulated'."
At this point, Fangzheng twitched his finger.
"As the saying goes, the evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear. The rebound of bad luck is very scary. Hmm … I think the people in the Chamber of Commerce understand this. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so frightened when they heard that Katie had 'successfully' completed the mission. Obviously, they've already figured out what they'll encounter next. "
Not only that, Fangzheng also received a pleasant surprise.
Perhaps Katie didn't know, but when Fangzheng entered the Chamber of Commerce and saw Katie's father, he immediately knew his true identity.
In fact, Katie's father was a cultist.
Moreover, he was one of the high-ranking members of the Day of Destruction Church that Fangzheng planned to deal with.
This was truly a case of wearing out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to find it by chance ….
Fangzheng didn't expect that he would find his target so easily. It seemed that … his luck was pretty good.
"What should we do next?"
"I'm going to make my move."
Of course, Fangzheng wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. "The Annals of the Dead" told Fangzheng that the cultists would hold a ritual in a secret place in the City of Silver tomorrow night. This was his best chance.
"I'll act alone and make the arrangements for the next step. I'll leave Katie to you and Hu Tao to protect. Her father won't let Katie off so easily. After all, the rebound of the curse of bad luck is quite terrifying. In order to ensure that the bad luck continues to flow from Katie, her father will definitely find ways to make something happen to Katie. He might even send someone to assassinate her. What you need to do is to protect Katie as much as possible during this period of time. Don't let anything happen to her. As for the rest, I'll take care of it after I'm done with the cultists. "
After quickly giving the order, Fangzheng could not help but curl the corners of his mouth, revealing a smug smile.
Although he had been very unlucky along the way, it seemed that his luck was still pretty good. After all, Katie's father would be plagued by bad luck for the next period of time. This way, even if he noticed anything wrong, he would only think that he was unlucky ….
For Fangzheng, this was a stroke of good luck.
