hapter 1033 Being Called a Genius
This genius cultivator’s appearance was completely outside Wynter’s plans. But
since Shane had eagerly brought this “ally over, she might as well make use of him.
Though she said it was ominous, it didn’t hold as much weight as when Kolton said It. After all, this group trusted him the most.
Kolton didn’t refute Wynter’s words. He knew that while crows were considered auspicious, they were also known to announce death.
If it cawed persistently, there must be something unusual here.
Frowning, Kolton said, “Everyone, we should go take a look.”
Since Mt. Dragon’s genius had spoken, Declan had no reason to stop him.
Right now, Declan wished Shane would just leave. Shane had ruined everything. Why must he bring Kolton?
He might be effective in handling tasks for money, but ultimately, he was not one of their own.
Shane had no idea he was about to shoot himself in the foot. He had brought Kolton here to solidify Wynter’s fate of being a jinx to him, not to investigate some crow.
Despite his displeasure, Shane followed along. After all, Kolton was his only remaining connection.
During this time, he had burned quite a few bridges, but as long as he had this connection to Mt. Dragon, these people would still regard him highly.
So, Shane said nothing. He just felt increasingly uneasy. How had things developed to this point?
As they approached the backyard, the crow’s cries became clearer.
Declan glanced at Liam with a heavy gaze. “Didn’t you say it had been chased away?“.
Liam had been sweating bullets all along. He dared not tell Declan that no matter how they tried, they couldn’t drive away that eerie crow standing there and crying in

the backyard.
With Kolton and the shareholders present, hearing something so unusual would certainty prompt questions.
To divert attention from the backyard, Liam forced out, “M–Maybe it flew back.”
Seeing his expression, Declan understood there was more to the situation, but the current circumstances didn’t allow him to dwell on it.
Of course, not just anyone could immediately discern the backyard’s layout. Even if Mt. Dragon’s apprentice was here, it wasn’t a guarantee he would notice anything.
Kolton indeed didn’t notice the Earthbound Formation beyond the geomantic layout. It was understandable since Wynter had already broken it.
“What a precise geomantic layout.” Kolton praised, “Mr. Declan, this layout of yours is exquisite in attracting luck and gathering wealth.”
Declan replied modestly, “You have sharp eyes, Mr. Pennington. The medium did indeed say that this layout can attract luck and wealth.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
“Mr. Pennington, could my house have a geomantic layout like this?”
“My newly purchased villa is also under renovation. Mr. Pennington, could you take a
look and give me some advice?*
Kolton didn’t refuse. For a cultivator, the more faith they acquired, the more they
could advance.
Wynter raised an eyebrow slightly. This genius from Mt. Dragon didn’t quite live up to
his name.
She was starting to doubt whether Mt. Dragon was bragging for the sake of fame.
Was Kolton truly deserving of being called a genius with this talent?
Wynter stepped forward and kicked aside some of the cobblestones on the side.
At that moment, Kolton’s eyes flashed. “Wait, this layout…”
“What’s wrong?” the others asked.

Standing on the side, Declan clenched his fists.
Kolton muttered to himself, “This is not right.”
Fabian originally didn’t believe in such things, but seeing Wynter’s skill, he started learning it as well.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he asked Wynter in a low voice,” What’s going on here?”
“He’s too slow, so I gave him a hint,” Wynter replied equally quietly.
