Back at Willa’s side, Leo said, “Miss Coates, I’ve finished inspecting the construction site. Let’s go.”
Willa nodded, though she had no idea what Leo was looking for here.
On the way back, Leo remembered the design of the Redday Tower, and with the chief designer right there, he couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Coates, you’re the chief designer of the Redday Tower. I’ve seen some images, and it seems there’s a spherical structure at the top of the building. Is that your idea?”
At the mention of this, Willa’s expression soured a bit, complaining, “My original design didn’t include that spherical structure at all. And personally, I think adding a spherical building at the top of the tower is extremely ugly.”
“But the investors from Orientia insisted on adding this spherical structure, and in the end, both the city council and the developers had to compromise, and as a designer, I had to make concessions too.”
Finishing her complaint, Willa sighed softly, seeming a bit frustrated.
“Mr. Bloomer, why do you suddenly ask about this? Is there a problem with that spherical structure?” Willa turned to Leo, curious.
Leo explained, “There’s a geomancy concept called ‘Breath Form, Bellow Mimic’. This spherical structure is like a sun, echoing the sun on the flag of Orientia. I think Orientia’s intention with this is to suggest that the sun flag of Orientia will rise over Deepmere City.”
“Oh… I see…” Leo’s explanation suddenly made sense to Willa, and she exclaimed, “I knew they had ulterior motives for insisting on building that thing, but the construction plans have already been approved. It’s almost impossible to make changes now. What should we do?”
“Miss Coates, let me tell you, the Orientia investors are building this Redday Tower not only for commercial reasons but also with the deeper intention of disrupting the geomancy and fortune of Deepmere City.”
“Disrupting the geomancy of Deepmere City?” Willa furrowed her brow, finding it hard to understand. “Mr. Bloomer, isn’t geomancy just a scam used to deceive people?”
Leo shook his head with a smile, “geomancy is real. It has a long history, even older than the history of Atraria.”
“The tradition of geomancy has been passed down through generations and is still thriving today. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a gem in Atraria’s culture. Of course, nowadays, there are too many fraudsters using the name of geomancy to deceive people, which has made the public skeptical of geomancy.”
Willa looked deeply at Leo, “Mr. Bloomer… Are you really a geomancy master?”
Leo nodded, “Actually, my purpose in coming to Deepmere City this time is to stop the Orientia people from using the Redday Tower to disrupt the geomancy and fortune of Deepmere City.”
“Mr. Bloomer, can you let me experience the geomancy you mentioned?” Willa’s face showed anticipation.
Leo smiled, “It’s not convenient in the car right now. How about this, let’s exchange contact information later, and after I’ve dealt with things, we can have a more in-depth discussion.”
Why does the tone seem so ambiguous?
At Thomas’s villa.
“How was the situation when you went to the site?” Thomas asked with concern.
“There’s a hidden dragon vein under the construction site of the Redday Tower.”
Thomas’s expression changed to understanding, “No wonder the Orientia people chose that location. What do we do next?”
“We don’t need to do anything. If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move. We’ll just wait and see.” Leo had a plan in mind. “In a couple of days, the Orientia people will surely take action, and that’s when we’ll strike!”
“Alright! When the time comes, let’s go together and deal with these damn Orientia people!” Thomas clenched his fist.
“Thomas, you’ve been in Deepmere City for so long, haven’t you ever thought about finding a girlfriend? I think Willa is not bad, you can give it a try.” Leo changed the subject with a smile.
“Don’t tease me. Although Willa is single, her standards for finding a partner are unusually high. She won’t look at someone like me.” Thomas sighed.
“You must have tried to pursue Willa before, otherwise how would you know she has high standards?” Leo’s face showed a knowing smile. “Tell me about the process, I’ll give you some advice.”
“Oh, don’t remind me of the past. What’s the point of pursuing her? I just had a few meals with her…”
Next, the two men engaged in a heated, comprehensive, and in-depth discussion on how to pursue a girl.
But strangely, the discussion eventually shifted to Orientia AV actresses…
For the next few days, Leo focused on practicing and drawing talismans in Thomas’s villa, preparing thoroughly for what was to come.
Two days later, in the middle of the night, nearing a total lunar eclipse, Leo and Thomas hid in a makeshift activity room for workers.
It was said that during a lunar eclipse, the nine ghost gates connecting the Spirit Realm to the Sunlit Expanse would open simultaneously, and the spirits who had not yet been reincarnated in the underworld would come to visit their living relatives in the Sunlit Expanse.
So on the night of a lunar eclipse, the ominous aura of the Sunlit Expanse was particularly heavy.
Of course, ordinary people wouldn’t feel anything special about this, but those with weaker bodies were more prone to illness on the night of a lunar eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, if a geomancy master set up geomantic formations using the ominous aura between heaven and earth, the effects would be greatly enhanced.
Half an hour later, Thomas whispered, “They’re here.”
Sure enough, a car drove into the construction site and stopped outside the foundation area.
Three people got out of the car, one of whom was Kazuhiko, and the other two were around forty years old, dressed somewhat like Taoist robes, each carrying a box in their hands, accompanying Kazuhiko respectfully.
The three walked to the center of the foundation, at first there was no movement, but after a while, faint golden lights began to flicker in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, one would see that the ground, which had been empty, was now adorned with various objects used in Taoist rituals, such as an altar, a sacrificial tablet, tall incense sticks, and white candles.
Kazuhiko stood quietly in front of the altar, his eyes closed slightly, unmoving.
The other two men, one with a traditional Oriental topknot on the left named Jōji Idakami, and the other with a crew cut on the right named Aoyama Hidekaze, stood three meters away from him, their faces cold, like two robots.
“Master, someone’s here!” the man on the left with the Oriental traditional topknot reminded.
This man was Kazuhiko’s eldest disciple, named Jōji Idakami.
The man on the right with the crew cut was Kazuhiko’s third disciple, named Aoyama Hidekaze.
Kazuhiko said coldly, “Atraria is a place where dragons and tigers lie hidden. Our actions can’t escape some people’s notice. If no one came, I would find it abnormal.”
Through the window of the makeshift room, Leo and Thomas, illuminated by the distant lights, could barely make out the scene in the construction site.
On the opposite side of Kazuhiko and his two disciples, about nine meters away, three people dressed in Taoist robes appeared.
All three were in their sixties, their faces solemn.
They seemed to have emerged from the ground suddenly, staring coldly at the Orientia people opposite them.
Back at Willa’s side, Leo said, “Miss Coates, I’ve finished inspecting the construction site. Let’s go.”
Willa nodded, though she had no idea what Leo was looking for here.
