Chapter 176 Your Fate Is Up to You

As the atmosphere was tense, they arrived at Sutor Wharf.

Keith curled his lips and said to Braden with a half–smile, “Braden, why don’t we compete with each

other? If you find Shirley first, I will accept the fact that she is yours, and from now on, I will never have

any thoughts that cross the line. But if I find her first… I’ll make a move.”

Braden’s eyes were cold and indifferent. He said indifferently, “It’s up to you.”

“Sure enough, you are the top man in Seatle City. How large–minded!”

After Keith finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car in an instant, starting to

look for Shirley quickly

Braden got out of the car slowly, straightened his fine suit, and looked around with indifferent eyes,

looking cold and proud, as if he was here making an inspection tour.

The antique market at Sutor Wharf was the largest antique market in the entire Seatle City.

Since it was located at the border of several countries, countless valuable treasures were smuggled

here for reselling. The market made a lot of people rich, and it was also the gathering place for

criminals. In short, people in various trades could all be found here.

Braden strode through the bustling crowd like a tourist. He walked around, looked around, and finally

stopped in front of a stall.

The stall owner was an old man with a gray beard and dark skin. A piece of coarse linen cloth was on

the ground, on which all kinds of treasures were laid out.

There were all kinds of treasures, such as ornaments, ancient paintings, pottery figurines, and so on.

Each of them seemed aged, and obviously, they were freshly dug out.

Yet the market was full of similar stalls, and the treasures sold by owners were pretty much the same

Therefore, there weren’t many people visiting this stall.

“Young man, fancy taking a look at the treasures?”

The old man stroked his beard and said slowly, “The things that I, Kole Maurice, sell are different from

those produced wholesale from some small commodity markets. Anything you see here is dug out by

me personally from the graves. Just relax. You can’t go wrong with each one of them.”

Braden said, “I’m not here to buy things.”

“I know. You are here to look for someone.”

Kole raised his eyebrows, looked at Braden, and said meaningfully, “You look noble, and I’m sure you

aren’t some ordinary man. Since you are willing to condescend to this place where the mixed

lot is, it is obvious that the person you are looking for means a lot to you.”

Braden did not admit it, nor did he deny it. He went straight to the point and said, “You strike me as

someone mysterious and capable I don’t think there is anything you don’t know.”

Kole paused slightly as he stroked his beard. Then he smiled and said, “I’m not that capable, but I

might be of help if you want to find the person.”

“That will be great.”

Braden was a bit intrigued and sat on a chair next to the stall.

Kole took out a tube with dozens of sticks in it.

“Different sticks represent different results. All you need to do is ask sincerely, and the stick that

pops out will give you the answer ”

After Kole finished speaking, he pushed the tube to Braden and stretched out his hand. “You may

begin.”

Braden narrowed his eyes and looked at the tube Just as he was about to shake it, Keith rushed.

over, drenched in sweat.

“Braden, seriously? Are you a tourist here? I can’t believe you’re in the mood to buy antiques. Are

you really not worried that I might find her before you and snatch her away from you?”

“Not at all. You can’t have her, and you are not a threat to me,” Braden sneered.

“What? What are you talking about? How come I can’t have her? Are you saying that I’m bad att

wooing women?”

Keith acted childishly and was determined to compete with Braden. He continued, “Don’t forget.

that I taught you those tricks when wooing women. That makes me your teacher How dare you.

offend me?”

Braden replied, “Then does she strike you as an ordinary woman? Do you think those lame tricks of

yours will work on her?”

“Well…”

Keith instantly wasn’t that confident anymore.

Keith thought, Shirley is not like other women. She is so smart and lucid, and she sees right through

me in seconds. How could she be so easy to take down?

Let alone other things, I have been running around all night and searching half the wharf, and she is

still nowhere to be seen. Therefore, I am here in the dumps, wanting to see if Braden has any

leads.

Keith was a little embarrassed. He braced himself to change the subject and said, “Braden, what are

you doing? Why are you holding a tube? Are you a witch or something?”

Braden ignored Keith and began to shake the tube.

He shook the tube about five times, and one of the sticks fell to the ground.

Kole picked it up and looked at the words on it with a complicated expression.

“Young man, what do you want to know?”

Braden said clearly, “I wonder if she and I are still meant to be

Needless to say, he was referring to Shirley.

Kole let out a long sigh and said, “Wind is unpredictable. It can be either strong or gentle. Similarly,

your fate is up to you.”

“What do you mean?” Braden frowned.

“The things between you and her are like the wind, and no one can tell what might happen. You two

may have come to an end, but not entirely. From the words on the stick, you won’t have any contact

with her for at least the next four years. As for whether anything might change after those four years, it

depends on the state of you and her If you two still miss each other and still want to be with each other,

then you may still have a chance. If either of you gives up, then nothing will ever happen

between you two.”

Kole explained it very carefully and was very straightforward.

Braden didn’t say anything.

He was lost in thought and silent for a long time.

Keith, who was aside while listening to their whole conversation, said disdainfully, “Tsk! What a

charlatan! None of your words make any sense. One minute you say it’s over between them, and the

next you say they still have a chance. Pick a side!”

Then Keith comforted Braden, “Braden, don’t listen to him. I have already ordered a lockdown of

the wharf. Shirley can’t hide from us whatsoever. The only question is whether you or I find her first.

You won’t be waiting for four years!”

Kole was not angry. He stroked his beard and said to Keith, “Young man, if you are not convinced,

you may give it a go and see which stick you get as well.”

Keith grabbed the tube and shook it with his eyes closed.

Soon, another stick fell.

“No matter where you are, your loved one is on the way, and a wedding can be foreseen.”

Keith read the words on the stick, and his handsome face was filled with joy. “Hey! This is interesting.

From the looks of it, I’m about to meet my loved one. Maybe Shirley will be mine after all.”

Kole smiled, “You are lucky indeed. The stick indicates that you will meet the destined one tonight.”

Hearing that, Braden and Keith reacted totally differently.

Braden’s face was cold to the extreme, while Keith had a big grin on his face. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“The destined one… Come on! Surely it’s Shirley!”

He immediately clapped and shouted, “Sir, I didn’t give you enough credit. You are so capable!”

What was even more dumbfounding was that Keith’s phone rang. His men told him that there was

news. However, the situation was a bit complicated, and they wanted him to go to the underground

casino at the antique market right now.

“Braden, Shirley is in the underground casino now. She is probably in trouble To be fair, let’s rush over

there together. Whoever gets her out first gets to be with her What do you say?”
