Several people frowned when they saw who it was—it was Justin, the CEO of Hammer Industries.
"Tony, how are you?"
Stark gave him a brief nod, his attitude noticeably indifferent.
"You're not the only one who drives a luxury car to places like this," Justin laughed. His gaze swept over Black Widow and Serena before returning to Lin Chen.
"Tony, has your orientation changed now?!"
Lin Chen chuckled. "Which fly crawled out here?"
Justin's face darkened. "Kid, you don't even know who I am? Christine, tell him who I am."
He gestured toward the beautiful Vanity Fair reporter behind him.
Christine's eyes lit up when she looked at Lin Chen. She exclaimed in surprise, "Daoist Lin! You're Daoist Lin!"
She grabbed Lin Chen's hand excitedly, her little finger deliberately sliding along his finger.
"Daoist, you're even more handsome than in the videos. Can I do an exclusive interview with you?"
Lin Chen smiled and politely withdrew his hand. "Sorry, I don't accept interviews. If I ever want to do fortune-telling, I'll go live-stream instead."
Christine looked disappointed. Lin Chen had directly rejected her proposal.
Lin Chen had no interest in this kind of "stamp-collecting" woman. She was also a female Aquaman type—Tony Tower had already been added to her collection.
Compared to Black Widow and Serena, she wasn't even close. She also had a sharp, pointed chin.
Justin frowned. It seemed the man in front of him was quite famous. After Christine's reminder, he realized Lin Chen was a very popular fortune-teller.
"A fortune-teller?"
Justin was extremely displeased. This fortune-teller was actually much more attractive than his own woman—and his woman had already defected, yet the other party didn't even want her!
This was outright bullying!
Lin Chen looked at him calmly. "It seems you don't really believe in fortune-telling."
Justin glanced at him disdainfully. "Of course I don't believe it. Only ignorant people get fooled by you."
"Well then, let me give you a few words. Take care of yourself. Don't try to challenge Stark Industries' position, and don't trust a toothpick who's still halfway through."
Justin shook his head. He was riding high now—Hammer Industries had already replaced Stark Industries as the U.S. military's weapons supplier. If he got another steel suit this time, he would soar to the top.
"Toothpick? What the hell are you talking about!"
"Daoist Lin, you don't understand business at all. You don't understand the troubles of billionaires."
Lin Chen smiled. "That's fine. I've already bought tens of thousands of put options on your company's stock—one hundred times leverage. Work hard."
Everyone around them twitched.
"You shorted the stock and still told him to work hard? Isn't that just making people lose even more?"
Black Widow's eyes lit up. Another chance to make money. It seemed the next 'lucky one' was Justin.
Christine rolled her eyes. "I have money too. I'll follow the Daoist and invest!"
Justin: …Women really are unreliable!
"Hmph. Young man, just wait for bankruptcy and liquidation."
Justin turned and left.
Lin Chen added calmly behind him, "Justin, I advise you to accumulate some virtue. Those soldiers who had their waists broken—your compensation is far too little. You've committed too much evil. You may end up spending your future in prison."
Justin ignored him and walked away.
Christine grabbed Lin Chen's hand again. "Daoist, calculate my fortune for me."
"You're fine. Just stop collecting stamps. Find someone to marry, live a proper life, and your future will be peaceful. Otherwise, it won't be good if you catch AIDS."
Christine's face turned pale. "Daoist… I don't have it now."
"No."
Christine left in lingering fear.
Tony, too, felt relieved. At least he didn't need to go to the hospital for a checkup.
Serena smiled and said, "Daoist, a beautiful woman throws herself at you, and you not only refuse her, but even scare her. Is that good or bad?"
Lin Chen pinched her chin. "She's no match for you."
"I'm going to do something!" Black Widow deliberately stepped on Lin Chen's shoes with her high heels.
"Revenge. Definitely revenge!"
Tony looked at Lin Chen laughing and chatting with Serena and suddenly felt a stab of pain in his heart.
"It's good to be young. I don't know how much longer I can live."
He walked toward the bathroom with mixed emotions and tested his blood toxin level—it had already reached 53% of the danger threshold.
He sighed and stared at himself in the mirror.
Lin Chen walked in. "What, prostate problems? Your pee starting to split?"
Tony suddenly shouted, "I'm fine!"
"Relax, there are cures," Lin Chen laughed.
"I'm really not sick in that area!" Tony snapped and left the bathroom.
Lin Chen was speechless. "Did I even say that was the disease? Does he really have something to hide?"
When Lin Chen walked out of the bathroom, a crowd had gathered outside.
An elderly man wearing a purple bishop's robe and three black-clad priests were surrounding Serena.
"Vampire! You can't escape!"
"Come with us!" A fair-skinned priest with glasses reached out to grab Serena.
Serena kicked him, sending him flying to the ground.
"How dare you hit someone!" the bishop in purple-red robes shouted, pointing at Serena, visibly enraged.
People around them began whispering.
"Bishop Henry, what's going on?"
"He says this woman is a vampire!"
"She's so beautiful—how could she be a vampire? Impossible!"
Henry helped the young priest up with concern. "Adrian, are you alright?"
"Bishop, I'm fine. We must capture this female vampire!"
His eyes darkened as he stared at Serena with a chilling glint.
Lin Chen activated the Water Mirror Observation Technique and nodded inwardly.
The other two priests rushed toward Serena.
Lin Chen walked over and sent each of them flying with a single kick.
"What are you doing? I just went to the bathroom. Why are priests trying to snatch my girlfriend in public?"
Serena clung to Lin Chen and said pitifully, "Master, this priest is so scary. He wanted to take me away. Wuwuwu…"
"The Holy See is really good at snatching civilian girls off the streets! Wasn't the orphanage priest scandal last time enough? And now this again?!"
Lin Chen shouted loudly.
Reminded by Lin Chen, the crowd began pointing and criticizing.
"This Henry is the bishop of Monaco. How could he be like this?"
"My friend was taken advantage of by him before. The police let it go because he was old, but his eyes were terrifying!"
"How long has it been since the orphanage scandal? These Holy See people still think it's the Middle Ages when they held power?"
Clearly, many people were dissatisfied with the Holy See.
Bishop Henry's eyelids twitched. This young man had instantly turned the situation against him.
A noblewoman suddenly exclaimed, "He's Daoist Lin—the fighter who exposed the Holy See scandal!"
"Yes, it's him!"
"His fortune-telling is incredibly accurate!"
"So handsome!"
Lin Chen sighed deeply. "I only wanted to expose the orphanage incident so the children wouldn't be persecuted anymore. Instead, you pursued me relentlessly—smearing me online, and now even trying to frame my companions."
He exchanged a tender look with Serena. "Selena, you did nothing wrong. It's only because I'm connected to righteous causes."
Tears welled in Serena's eyes. "Master, as long as I can be with you, I don't care if I'm wronged!"
Everyone was moved by their 'deep affection' and began denouncing the Holy See even more fiercely.
Black Widow, mixed into the crowd, almost spat from disgust. "You two deserve Oscars."
Seeing the crowd completely turn against him, Henry suddenly burst into tears, stroking his white hair.
"I am an old man. What evil thoughts could I possibly have? Why would I slander you?"
Adrian supported Henry and said loudly, "Our bishop has served Monaco for thirty years. Why would we do such a thing?!"
The crowd found this reasonable and turned back to Lin Chen, waiting to see what he would say.
Lin Chen smiled faintly. "He's so old—he definitely can't do it. But…"
"But what?!" Bishop Henry's eyelids jumped violently. He didn't know whether to refute him or not.
