Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!

Chapter 367: Can’t Hold Sway Over This Side

In the past, there were also many involvements, and Old Master Rhodes didn’t have as much power as he does now.

Old Mr. Kensington had a good relationship with Old Master Rhodes, but it couldn’t possibly make Old Master Rhodes help with these matters.

Now it’s known that Old Master Rhodes certainly has no reason not to help.

The Abbott Family is already a scrawny camel, hardly able to outweigh an elephant.

With Old Master’s words, Benson Abbott’s fate was already sealed.

"Shirley Abbott’s father?"

Franklin Rhodes suddenly spoke from the side, and both Old Master Rhodes and Thea Shaw looked at him.

Franklin looked at Thea and said, "Were you swapped by the Abbott Family back then? Is there evidence of this?"

Thea gave him a once-over and replied flatly, "I’m not the one handling this matter, don’t ask me."

Franklin: "..."

Old Master Rhodes seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Shirley Abbott... Could she be Benson Abbott’s daughter, right, I recall you were on good terms with someone named Shirley Abbott, don’t tell me it’s the same person!"

Franklin’s expression suddenly stiffened, "Just... ordinary friends."

"A mistress’s daughter dares to befriend you!"

Old Master Rhodes glared at Franklin, "What did you mean by what you just said? Are you questioning a victim?"

Franklin became flustered, "No, Grandfather, I was just casually asking."

"Better not have been!"

After saying this, Old Master Rhodes waved his hand, "Get out, I have things to discuss with Thea."

Franklin: "..."

As Franklin walked out, he gave Thea a resentful glance.

Thea thought this person had something wrong with his head.

After Franklin left, and there was no one else in the ward, Old Master Rhodes finally spoke, "The fortune-telling matter between us can’t be hidden from the Rhodes Family, and along with the matter of Elder Kensington, it has caught the attention of The Aetherium Sect. You must take more care in the future."

"Is The Aetherium Sect very powerful?" Thea asked Old Master Rhodes for more details, "I don’t have any conflict with The Aetherium Sect."

"It’s not a matter of conflict."

Old Master Rhodes sighed, "I’ll only tell you professionals this; do not spread it. The Aetherium Sect has been growing in power over the years, even controlling some influential figures. Now, once stirred, it affects everything, making it hard to uproot, but this thorn will be removed sooner or later. It’s good for you to remain detached, don’t develop like The Aetherium Sect."

Thea immediately understood.

A colossal entity like The Aetherium Sect, even with its allowances, is akin to a time bomb.

His fortune-telling accuracy is one thing, but if many misfortunes could be avoided, wouldn’t that leave loopholes for wrongdoers?

But Thea knew that this line of work has its rules.

It’s likely The Aetherium Sect touched upon some bottom lines.

Such matters certainly couldn’t be spoken of, and Old Master Rhodes’ words were not just to inform her.

Thea immediately said seriously, "Old Master Rhodes, rest assured, we in this line of work have our limits. Those whose fates are doomed must never be saved, or it would cause disaster! At most, I’ll maintain my business at a hundred thousand per deal in the future."

"A hundred thousand?"

Old Master Rhodes was somewhat surprised, "That cheap?"

The amount in that card was given based on the compensation Elder Kensington initially provided.

Thea: "..."

She knew it was cheap, but saying it out loud was another matter.

Old Master Rhodes didn’t dwell on the matter further. He nodded, "As long as you understand, there’s not much else you need to consider, especially as you’re still involved with that young Ford boy."

Even if The Aetherium Sect were aware of Thea’s extraordinary presence, they would have to consider the Ford Family’s influence before making a move.

The Ford Family doesn’t yield to these sects.

The Aetherium Sect can control others but not this side.
