Xavier reached for the bamboo tube. He closed his eyes and began shaking them.

Soon, a bamboo stick fell out.

�The phoenix has risen from the ash. Romance is a single step away!� Xavier read the words aloud. He couldn�t conceal his excitement.

�Hey, this is interesting! According to this, I�m about to get lucky. Will I really be able to win Renee over?�

The old man chuckled. �This bamboo stick certainly is one that signifies very good fortune. It�s hinting that you�ll meet the love of your life tonight.�

Stefan and Xavier reacted in two drastically different ways upon hearing this.

Stefan�s facial expression turned extremely cold. Xavier, on the other hand, had a beaming smile on his face.

�The love of my life� It has to be Renee!� Xavier instantly clapped. �Master, I was wrong. You�re way too accurate!�

Oddly enough, Xavier�s phone rang. His subordinate told him that Renee had been found, but it was a little complicated. Xavier was immediately asked to make his way to the underground casino in the antique market.

�Stefan, Renee is in the underground casino. I guess she�s in trouble. For fairness� sake, let�s quickly make our way there together. Whoever rescues her first gets to be with her. What do you say?�

After finishing his sentence, Xavier ran off the same way he did before.

�How childish!� Stefan rubbed his temples and shook his head speechlessly.

However, he was a little worried that something bad might happen to Renee. He stood up and prepared to leave.

The old man stopped him. �Young man, that is your friend�s fate. You don�t have to get involved. Why don�t you stay here and browse through these treasures? Perhaps, something you buy might one day become the thing that brings you and the love of your life together.�

It was strange. Whereas others would�ve thought this old man was making nonsense up, Stefan trusted him and stayed. He scanned the things on display, and that was when a silk object caught his eye.

To be more precise, the art on the silk object caught his attention.

�How much is this?� Stefan asked.

�Since you and I met by fate, I�ll sell it to you for a dollar. Consider it as a payment for drawing the bamboo stick.� The old man then put the silk object in a box and handed it to Stefan. �You�ve got a good eye. This silk object is very lucky to have found you as its owner.�

�Thank you.� Stefan accepted it.

Although he still had many questions, he recalled that Renee�s situation was still unclear. He stopped talking and quickly made his way to the underground casino. JrNovels.com
