Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 107 Chapter 69 Charlie King’s Plan
Pulitzer Harbor? !
Alice jumped up in shock and was hit on her knee by the desk. She gasped in pain and sat back down holding her knee.

"Hiss...it hurts..." Alice rubbed her poor knees with a distorted expression, and her train of thought was interrupted for a moment.

After the pain gradually subsided, Alice thought about the meaning of the dream.

First of all, we can rule out that child...that child is not an extraordinary person, and the owner of the "wealth accessories" in the Brave Bar is a mid-level extraordinary person.

...a mid-sequence Beyonder?
If the dream's revelations were of people she'd met in Pritzker, Alice still had no clue. But if you only have to consider the people who actually speak up…

The image of Charlie King quietly appeared before Alice's eyes.

Thinking of the role of "wealth accessories" in improving wealth, and the fact that Charlie King became a Sequence 5 shortly after meeting her, Alice gradually made a guess:

"He obtained the main ingredients for the Sequence 5 potion through the 'Get Fortune Accessories'... Before that, he may have found a buyer for the 'Get Fortune Accessories', but for some reason, the other party was unwilling to buy the 'Get Fortune Accessories' anymore. '.

"Unable to sell his 'money-making accessories', he finally reached the three-month deadline, which triggered the side effects of the 'money-making accessories'...

"Loss of all wealth...wealth..."

Alice's face turned pale little by little.

She suddenly realized that there was a problem hidden in this speculation - the other party obtained the main ingredients of the potion through the "wealth accessory", made it into a potion and drank it, and that... had turned into a potion with extraordinary properties. Isn’t it considered wealth?

If extraordinary characteristics count as wealth, does luck count as wealth? Does memory count as wealth? Is knowledge considered wealth? And most importantly...is life considered wealth?

What exactly does the “wealth” in “lose all wealth” refer to?
Assuming that the owner of the "Get Rich Accessories" is really Charlie King, Alice can answer "yes" without hesitation.

——As early as Sequence 6, Charlie King almost died in front of her, and after she made up her mind to kill Charlie King, isn't it normal for him to encounter such a thing?

And that faint feeling of uneasiness had a very reasonable explanation after it was confirmed that the owner of the "wealth accessory" was Charlie King.

After all, it was quite normal for Charlie King to think of her who had just become Sequence 6 after encountering a similar thing for the second time. It's illogical but very fateful.

This is a desperate counterattack before death.

The coin falling from the sky showed the king's side, allowing Alice to confirm that Charlie King was the owner of the "wealth accessory".

And the question now is...what exactly is he going to do?
……

Charlie King was thinking about what he should do.

"Wealth Accessories" do not really cause all users to lose their lives equally. As an extraordinary item in the "Destiny" field, it is still exchanged at equal value. If you get it and you don't get a penny, It can't actually kill you either.

In the school of life, Charlie King is not considered to be gifted on the road of "destiny".

He stumbled up to Sequence 6, which seemed to be his limit.

Fate made him wait for three years, but he still didn't wait for another main material. Until more than a month ago, he received a special mission, and after completing the mission, he obtained another main material.

This was originally a happy event, but after calming down, he quickly remembered the side effects of the "wealth-making accessories", and his whole body felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on him. ——The amount of wealth gained through it is at least how much it must be sold for.

After the price increase, the sales of "Fortune Accessories" were indeed in trouble. What frightened him even more was that within two days of getting the potion ingredients, he completed the ritual and became Sequence 5.

If he hadn't met that strange girl before, this wouldn't have frightened him so much. At this moment, he felt like a plate of rice about to be served to the table.

The subsequent task of warning the other party to speed up his promotion made him even more desperate. He found that fate had even found a reason for the other party to bite him.

For the first time, he understood why the teacher judged that he was not suitable for taking the "destiny" path.

If fate has a consciousness, it must be an extremely partial consciousness. Some people can only struggle at the bottom no matter how hard they work, while there are still some people who don't have to do anything and just wait for the gift of fate.

Ha, a gift... Charlie King clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall. In severe pain, he remembered what he had said to the strange girl: "No matter luck or disaster, it is a gift from fate."

Of course, he also remembered the girl's answer: "...but what if I don't want to passively accept the gift of fate, but control my own destiny?"

That is a child who is not willing to be pushed forward by fate... How funny, some people are unable to achieve it, while others are struggling.

The funniest thing is...his desire to resist came from that girl's original words.

In the silent darkness, Charlie King’s voice murmured to himself:
"It has been confirmed that 'Winner's' ability to confer doom has no effect on her...

"That one has stopped responding for the time being...

"There is no way to find another 'winner' as a scapegoat in a short time...The most important thing is that even if there is another 'winner', she probably wants to kill me more.

"Her previous identity was as a night watcher of the Church of the Night, and she has been deemed dead by the Church of the Night...

"Then...leave the news that she is still alive to the Church of the Night!"

……

At three o'clock sharp on Sunday afternoon, Alice showed up at the address on the invitation.

The Literary Salon is not considered a formal banquet, and you can enter by showing your face even without an invitation - of course, this is for real aristocrats.

Even for the literary salon, it is not necessary for the nobles to arrive on time. They can just come and take a look halfway.

——Alice is not clear about the above situation. The only thing she knows about is that Luen's habit is to be five minutes late, and he would rather be late than arrive early.

So, Alice, who followed the Romans, lingered outside for two minutes before showing the invitation and entering the banquet, completely unconcerned about Charlie King's secret plans on how to deal with her.

In fact, Alice thought about it... briefly, and then... after she couldn't find the answer through divination, she naturally gave up.

Anyway, out of politeness, Alice decided to go see the host of the banquet first, the Viscount Graylingt whom she failed to inquire about from Miss Justice.
