Chapter 802: Wildfire
Chapter 802: Wildfire
"President!"
"That person has arrived!"
"President! Where are you? Come out quickly!"
A slightly anxious call echoed, waking up the cat-eared woman who was sunning herself on the second-floor balcony.
Matilda?
The cat-eared woman's two pitch-black cat ears twitched slightly, and her body quickly shrank. She hurriedly shook her head and wagged her tail, shedding her skirt, and slipped out through the slightly ajar back window. She slid down the chimney, which was covered in cat footprints, to the first floor.
"Meow~"
"President!"
Following the sound of the meow, the Direct Selling Witch turned around and couldn't help but heave a slight sigh of relief. She immediately began reporting:
"The person you're looking for, Lyon, has just arrived in Enchantment City, but instead of searching for you in the city, he was picked up by the High Shaman of the Shaman Society and taken directly to the Inner Courtyard on a moose sled."
"???"
Upon hearing the Direct Selling Witch's report, several large question marks appeared in the translucent and lustrous eyes of the Cat-Ear President.
What... Has he gone mad? Since the Butcher King Society was able to find someone to impersonate me, it proves that they have already taken control of the Inner Courtyard! You arrived in Enchantment City and didn't contact me, your ally, but instead rushed into the enemy's lair? Even if you wanted to die, you wouldn't do it like this!
"Meow, meow, meow, meow!"
Caught off guard by Lyon's strange actions, the Cat-Ear President meowed urgently several times in a row, instructing the Direct Selling Witch to continue observing, and then she was about to run outside, probably intending to go to the Inner Courtyard to retrieve him.
However, before she could even start, someone reached out and hugged her around her belly, pulling her back from the doorway.
"Wait a moment!"
Unable to resist, the Direct Selling Witch stroked the black cat's satin-like fur and explained to the confused cat-eared woman in her arms:
"The sister who went to stake out the Embarkation Tower today was the Great Fate Seer from the Fate Society. When she got close to the man you were waiting for, she secretly straightened his destiny plate during a minor conflict in the clouds."
The Great Fate Seer... Angelica? She was able to see the destiny plate of the God of Food? Hearing the Direct Selling Witch's words, the Cat-Ear President blinked her cat eyes, revealing a hint of surprise in her gaze.
Among the seventeen major guilds in the Maiden Nation, the Fate, Divination, Astrology, and Numerology Societies, collectively known as the Four Societies of Destiny, all possess a limited ability to "read" the destinies of others. The Fate Society's Seers, in particular, have the most unique abilities among the four.
Although they cannot directly observe fragments of the future like the cat-eared woman, a witch herself, they can indirectly glimpse a person's destiny by straightening their destiny plate and making inferences about their overall fate.
The range of these destinies is extremely complex, covering aspects such as morality, status, personality, and luck. Although not entirely clear and specific, these observations still hold significant reference value.
However, this kind of observation is generally limited to "ordinary people." The destiny plates of cleaners, who have vastly different experiences from ordinary people and are constantly exposed to anomalous items, are almost always in a state of extreme chaos, making it difficult for seers to discern any patterns.
As for someone like the God of Food, who joined the Purification Bureau only four or five months ago and has already reached the threshold of a True God, his destiny plate would likely appear a thousand times more abstract than an abstract painting to the seers of the Fate Society. How could Angelica possibly straighten his...
Hmm, that's not right!
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, and a flash of realization swept through the translucent eyes of the Cat-Ear President.
The targeted God of Food, whose powers had been suppressed to that of an ordinary person, had even lost the ability to use Anomaly Items. At this moment, he was indeed just an "ordinary person."
Among the few Great Fate Seers in the Fate Society, Angelica was the most skilled in deciphering fate charts. Facing the God of Food, who was almost entirely an ordinary person now, she might just be able to see something.
"President, I think it's necessary to inform you about this."
As the cat in her arms finally calmed down and looked up at her, the Direct Selling Witch hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"According to the Fate Society sister, the man you're waiting for has a very special fate chart. She's never seen one like it before and doesn't know how to describe it to me. But one thing she's certain of is that after you get close to him, everything around you will be completely changed."
"That man is like a wild fire on the prairie. Wherever he goes, he burns. Wherever he passes, there is either complete destruction in the flames or a rebirth from the ashes. There is no middle ground."
"Meow meow meow???"
"I don't know what it means either, but that's what she said."
In response to the Cat-Ear Leader's confused inquiry, the Direct Selling Witch spread her hands.
"I asked her about it later, but she wouldn't tell me. You know how the Four Societies of Destiny are, President. Asking them is pointless."
"Meow... (I suppose so...)"
Seeing the Direct Selling Witch's somewhat helpless expression, the Cat-Ear Leader nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the members of the Four Societies of Destiny often had a habit of not speaking clearly. Some had exceptional abilities and saw things they dared not reveal, fearing backlash from fate. Others had limited skills and could only see fragments of the future and destiny, so they spoke in vague and cryptic terms.
Angelica, as a Great Fate Seer, likely possessed both aspects. Her abilities were undoubtedly impressive, and she had probably seen many significant events, but she was cautious about speaking openly, fearing dire consequences.
As for Lyon, a future director of the Purification Bureau, her fate was so complex that even a skilled Fate Seer like Angelica could only grasp a portion of it. This was why Angelica's description was so vague...
It didn't matter anymore.
Struggling slightly, the Cat-Ear Leader jumped out of the Direct Selling Witch's arms and took determined steps toward an unknown fate.
With no other options left, whether this "wild fire" brought destruction or rebirth, it was her last straw. No matter the outcome, good or bad, she had to try, even if it meant seeing her mother one last time.
Under the worried gaze of the Direct Selling Witch, the Cat-Ear Leader marched resolutely, disappearing into the bustling streets, heading straight for the High Witch Court at the heart of Enchantment City.
Just as the Cat-Ear Leader climbed the pillar carved with strange totems and entered the reception hall, close to the Inner Courtyard, she saw her important "wild fire" ally, smiling warmly and holding the arm of the imposter who had taken her place.
"Princess Catherine, will you reconsider this marriage contract?"
