Simone's words wiped the smile off Mr. Lewis's face.
"Simone, no matter what, I am much older than you. In the world of geomancy, I am your senior. Is it appropriate for you to speak like this?"
Simone raised her eyebrows. "If you want my respect, you need to have the talent and virtue to match!"
Mr. Lewis did not expect Simone to be so arrogant and domineering. He rarely experienced strong emotions, but now he couldn't help but feel a bit angry. He immediately directed a strand of negative energy towards Simone, saying, "You've gone too far. Today, I will teach you how to respect your elders in your master's place."
He had initially wanted to maintain temporary peace with Simone. First, he would lift the curse, obtain what he wanted, and then achieve his goal. But now she was being so arrogant and ignorant that he had to teach her a lesson. Of course, the main point was to test Simone's current strength.
Simone was waiting for the old man's attack. She took out a talisman and blocked the strand of negative energy. The talisman suddenly burst into flames, engulfing and burning the negative energy. It also caused the aura of the negative energy to scatter and disappear.
At this moment, not even Mr. Lewis noticed that a small strand of negative energy overflowed from the talisman and entered the red jade "bracelet" worn by Simone.
Simone had discovered the skill of the little snake. Not only could it devour and absorb negative energy, but it could also store it. So, she brought the little guy along. Using secret techniques to completely conceal its aura, making it appear lifeless. Therefore, even this old man did not notice.
She sneered, "You want to teach me on behalf of my master? With your methods, are you kidding me?" Then she arrogantly asked, "Is achieving the Divine State really impressive?" Then she no longer restrained herself and released her aura, "I'm in the Divine State too."
She deliberately exposed her strength to provoke the old man. If the old man wanted to test her and engage in a fight, she had to reveal herself. It was better to intimidate the other party and make them angry.
Mr. Lewis and the people he brought with him were all shocked. Mr. Lewis was truly angered.
This girl had actually achieved the Divine State. No wonder she was so arrogant.
Why her! He had spent hundreds of years and still had to use extraordinary means to achieve the Divine State. As a result, he remained in the mid-stage of the Divine State and could not make any further progress. The increase in lifespan was also 30% less than that of a normal Divine State practitioner. Otherwise, why would he go through so much careful planning? And this girl was only in her early twenties, and she had already achieved the Divine State.
He could also sense that her aura was not weak. It's so unfair; it's simply too unfair. At this moment, besides jealousy and envy, he also felt a bit of fear towards Simone. He regretted even more that he didn't kill this girl earlier. Originally, she was just a key pawn to absorb the fortune of the Gray Family and the Foster Family.
Who would have thought that she would now become a great disaster?
Lewis pondered for a moment, suppressing his anger, and said, "So you're already a celestial master, no wonder you're so arrogant. In that case, I can consider you as my equal."
What kind of luck or opportunity did she have to achieve the Divine State?
Simone laughed, "Mr. Lewis, we're at the same level now. What's the point of hiding it? It's fake to be interested in a mine; you're actually looking for the spiritual stone, right?"
Mr. Lewis was shocked again. The girl actually knew about the existence of the spiritual stone. "I'm not sure if there are spiritual stones in the mine, but I just want to take a look. If I'm lucky enough to find one, I'll consider it a reward."
He glanced at the people from the Johnston Family and deliberately emphasized, "After all, it's not easy to remove the curse on Elbert's body. It will require a lot of energy and vitality." Since the girl knew, there was no need for him to hide it anymore. But this feeling was really unpleasant as if he was being led around by the girl. He hadn't felt so frustrated in many years.
Simone looked at him with a puzzled expression. "I see that your life is not long, so why do you still need the stone? To accompany you in death? That would be such a waste." She was no longer afraid of the old man. If he dared to fight to the death, she would still have some concerns, but obviously he didn't dare. Then she would just infuriate the old man! While talking to the old man, she had been carefully observing his face.
Indeed, he bore a resemblance to Jodie in his appearance, and his nose shared some similarities with Skyler's. In addition to the negative energy aura, it also mirrored the experiences of Skyler and Sean. Moreover, there was the recent test. She was now completely certain that this elderly man was Jodie's biological father. He was also the one who had once taken her life and still harbored constant plots against her. Therefore, she would treat him as he deserved.
When Simone made this statement, everyone present was shocked. Unable to resist, they all turned their gaze towards Lewis. Was his remaining time limited?
Lewis's expression changed, and there was even more astonishment in his eyes. How did the young girl know? Could she have possibly figured it out? He couldn't even see through her. In theory, his strength surpassed hers, so she shouldn't have been able to see through him.
Yet his heart couldn't help but fluctuate once again, filled with intense anger. What he detested the most was when others mentioned his limited lifespan. This young girl not only openly mentioned it but also suggested using the vitality stone for his funeral. Wasn't this cursing him to die...
