Villainous Young Master's Otherworldly Harem

Chapter 523 Mantis Stalking Cicada

Gary Watson looked haggard as he stared at his computer. " Whew, At least this damned book making me some money. In few days, I obtained a hundred thousand dollars."

However, when he thinks about Emily, his mood instantly becomes sour. He realized that money isn't everything in this world.

' Even if I become a millionaire, I would be still powerless before those mutants and metahumans.'

' No, I need to do something about it. I have such a heavenly treasure with me. If I can't stand at the peak and crush all these bastards under my feet, am I still worthy to stay alive?'

Gary looked at the magazine page he cut out and plastered on his wall. It was an article dedicated to occultism. What caught Gary's eye were the tips regarding divination and fortune-telling arts.

' One can actually increase the chances of gaining the knowledge of future events they want to see from a divination. Instead of scrambling through a sea of image fragments, one can isolate a part that has greater chances of having the required information.'

The art of fortune telling and divination always has been very whacky. Sometimes, one gets desired results while in some others, they get nothing at all.

The most frustrating part in divination is, that most of the time the results appear to be mixed and unclear. Only a skilled divination master can separate useful information from useless like a sieve.

' However, I have this book. It gives information with complete accuracy. All I need to know is how to control it and make it show the information I wish to see.'

For example, The Future Diary predicted that one of the senators would die in two days due to a heart attack. However, for Gary, such information isn't much of value.

However, what if he manages to make the diary show the results of the stock market a day prior? Or lottery tickets regularly?

' That's not it. Just like my Ring of Weakness and others, what if I locate magical treasures scattered in the wild? Earning money is easy, but earning power and authority is more important.'

Looking back at the article, Gary tried one of the few listed things. First is to take a shower and purify one's mind and body.

Second, keep thinking about the thing he desires to know the most. Experience new stories on empire

And lastly, write that down on a piece of paper and spray some perfume on it before burning it.

After doing everything, Gary opened the Future Diary and used his first free daily use.

Words appeared on the paper in clearly understandable yet arcane style words.

[ Tomorrow, a mahogany box with silver engravings will be sold at the Flea Market's third booth. However, the box contains the unreleased piece of Mozart's musical notes, making its value worth ten million dollars]

' HAH!'

Gary's eyes gleamed when he saw the information. " Ten million dollars? My goodness! This is the biggest windfall I ever had!"

But what made Gary excited was that the book showed what he desired at that moment. He was seeking money desperately and found a huge windfall.

' That magazine article wasn't bullshitting. I wonder which person with such mastery over divination art published it?' Gary rubbed his chin as he set up everything once again.

He took another shower, cleaned his palms well, and then thought about another thing before burning that thought after writing it on a paper.

Gary can forcefully open the diary only one more time after the free daily use. But to open twice, his body would take an unbearable amount of toll.

' Please! Work this time! Fucking work this time too!' Gary prayed in his mind as he opened the diary.

A light dizziness washed over his body. But Gary clenched his teeth and remained steadfast.

As he opened the diary, word appeared once again.

[ Two days later, an ancient tomb of a dark magician, filled with magical treasures, will be unearthed in Bridgestone Town. Although it contains great treasures, it possesses equal danger. A person should proceed with caution]

' Magical treasures? And it's even written with golden words!' Gary sucked a breath of cold air when he read that.

' Treasures of a dark magician can't be just ordinary, can it? Maybe it contains the method of learning magic? Or some sort of magical treasure with unparalleled ability?'

' No, I must seek it out. No matter what, I must go there!'

Gary Watson already made a plan in his mind as he grabbed his stuff and walked out of his house.

In another dark space, several hooded figures stood in a circular pattern.

As they knelt on the ground, the projection of a figure materialized in the middle of the circle.

" You messed the plan, didn't you?"

" Lord Owl, I didn't mean to…

" QUIET!"

Lord Owl simply raised his arm and one of the hooded figures suddenly rose from the ground. The figure struggled frantically, clutching his own throat as if he wanted to choke himself.

" All you had to do was to excavate the tomb of the lich and get two things. The Scepter of Demon Skull and the Heart of Undead."

" Now even the church has gotten the news about it. What are you going to do?"

" Lord Owl, Spare…Spare me. I have…plan!"

With a loud thud, the man fell to the ground. However, he instantly knelt before Lord Owl.

" I have already created distractions around the Bridgestone Town, attracting the church's attention there. Not to mention, they have received a setback! Their Crimson Punishment Order has been retreated!"

" Hah? They retreated? Why?"

" It's the new cult! The one managed by the Fortune Charity Group. They call it the Heaven's Secret Tower!"

" Heaven's Secret Tower…They are spreading their influence here?" Lord Owl frowned.

" Since they pushed back the order, we can relax for a moment. However, we need to be wary of them, as they seem no ordinary power."

" I have already made preparations for the excavation, Lord Owl. We shall get those treasures."

" I hope you do." Lord Owl's projection began to fade.

" May the Daybreaker illuminate your path."

" Praise the lord!"

" Praise the lord!"

" Members of Shadow Cult, Rise."

" As you all heard, we must get the treasures of that lich. Although it's going to be a dangerous mission, you don't need to be afraid. We have the blessings of Lord Owl with us."

" Everyone, Get ready for the mission!"

Meanwhile…

Hey, Handsome, missed me yet?

I really enjoyed our night. I never thought a man could make me feel so special and alive.

So, here is a little gift for you. Just me, freshly out of shower~

" Who is this hottie, hm? You are lingering with other girls while being with me?"

A girl wearing a tight tank top with a booty short sat beside Jun Tianyun, looking at his phone.

" Strange, I feel like I have seen this lady."

" You don't need to know." Jun Tianyun smiled as he raised the chin of that girl.

" A bet worth ten grands, right? Let's see how good your tongue is, Lessy."

" Bet!"

The girl was none other than Lessy, Barry Burton's newfound crush.
