Chapter 394

Chapter 394
Larissa failed to escace because Wendy held her still and quickly pulled her into a chair opposite Barbara. A small round table separated them, adored only by a candelabra bearing a lit candle and a thick stack of tarot cards, “This is my best friend. Larissa.” Wendy made the introductions.
“Nice to meet you, Larissa,” said Barbara faintly.
Every time she spoke, a chill would go through Larissa, “Hi,” said Larissa while forcing a smile.

Barbara picked up the tarot cards. In the dim candlelight, Larissa saw that Barbara’s hands were completely tattooed in weird pictures or to be more accurate, symbols
*What would you like to ask?” asked Barbara, Wendy answered in Larissa’s stead. “She came here from Caldor recently, wanting to forget the past and start a new life. Can you help predict if her new lile will go smoothly?”
“Okay.” Barbara nodded and spread the tarot cards across the table, gesturing for Larissa to pick out five cards.
Larissa didn’t believe in the divine at all Her sole focus was on complying as quickly as possible in order to make her exit. She picked out five cards randomly.
Barbara placed the five cards in the shape of an “X” and turned the first card over.
“Oh, the magician in reverse! Barbara covered her mouth exaggeratedly and looked at Larissa worriedly. “My dear, it seems like you’ve made a wrong decision recently.”
The word “recently” was a very vague indicator. It could refer to a minute ago, an hour ago, or even a month ago. Moreover, everyone would inevitably make countless wrong decisions in their lifetime. Larissa controlled herself and did not give Barbara any reaction.
