Chapter 37: The Slave-Hunting Group

Matthew closely examined Liana's attributes and tasted the stark contrast between an ordinary person and a genius destined to stir up future storms.

Liana

Age: 9

Profession: None

Talent: None

Attributes:

Strength: 5

Agility: 6

Constitution: 5

Intelligence: 14

Perception: 10

Charisma: 18

Luck: -5 (Catastrophic Fate)

Evaluation: Misfortune clings to her, her fate fraught with adversity.

At just 9 years old, Liana's charisma had already reached an impressive 18, and her bloodline abilities had begun to manifest, no wonder the other children found her presence unsettling.

Despite a luck value of -5, she had not yet faced total disaster, a testament to her resilience.

Matthew could sense that Liana's mental state was troubled, as if she was both conflicted and dejected.

Clearly, her negative luck was already taking its toll.

Watching Liana clasp the crystal, Matthew saw it emit a perfect glow, drawing a look of surprise from the young girl.

But just as Matthew was preparing to pull her aside for special training,

"Ding! Would you like to spend 100 Fate Coins to unlock Fate's Choice?"

The familiar prompt rang in Matthew's ear, and without hesitation, he chose yes.

Though nothing outwardly changed, within Matthew's vision, the familiar mechanics of Fate's Choice emerged once again.

"Unlock Fate's Choice: Keep Liana—Luck -3, Release Liana—Luck +3!"

Seeing Liana, unaware of the forces at play, Matthew chose to keep her without hesitation.

In disbelief, Liana looked up at him, and Matthew gently patted her head, feeling a faint chill seep through his hand. He smiled and said:

"Your talent is exceptional. I will take you as my student. Don't worry about the changes in your body—you will learn to control them over time."

"Ralph, inform Liana's family of the good news and bring them to the manor."

That's how it was—geniuses were treated simply and directly.

Matthew had no interest in uncovering the hidden dangers; he preferred to cut through problems swiftly and trigger potential threats early on.

His prior experiences had already taught him that the longer he waited, the greater the risks!

Liana was stunned and overwhelmed with joy. She had never expected such a sudden twist in her fate.

Ralph quickly approached, having noticed the commotion, and after hearing Matthew's words, he stifled his curiosity and immediately made the necessary arrangements:

"John, send a team to Liana's house. Inform her mother of the good news and escort her here for immediate medical care."

Old John gathered a squad of soldiers and swiftly set off for the destination. As Matthew watched them leave, he knew this wouldn't be the end of the matter.
