Tang Changsheng saw it clearly: Aubrey's Body Light wavered through the whole process. The Prosperity Flame in particular rippled violently, like a candle caught in the wind, its flame flickering uneasily. It wasn't that Tang Changsheng was determined to torment Aubrey slowly with the same trick over and over...
He wasn't that bored! This was an experiment, and the point was to observe and record.
By watching the changes in Body Light, he could better understand how luck shifted and what effects those shifts had.
"Damn it..." Aubrey was close to tears. Falling on the stairs was one thing, but how had he fallen again on level ground?
Could something be wrong with his body? He kept feeling inexplicable bouts of numbness. That could be a warning sign of a stroke...
The thought gave Aubrey such a fright that he nearly rushed straight to the hospital for a full examination.
"Mr. Farrell, I told you your luck has been bad lately. You need to be careful!" Tang Changsheng emphasized again.
"Huh?" Aubrey had yet to respond.
Quintina had already poked her head out. "Aubrey, what Tang says usually makes sense. He's an Astrologer from the East..." she said solemnly.
"Ah!" Now Aubrey was thoroughly torn between belief and doubt.
Deep down, he was even trying to force himself to believe it... It would be best if everything Tang Changsheng said was true...
After all, a run of bad luck would only last a while. But if it really was a stroke, or a tumor pressing on a nerve...
Aubrey was still young. He hadn't had his fill of the world yet...
Then something interesting happened!
As Aubrey began to believe his luck was bad, his Fortune and Prosperity Fire dimmed with it. The Prosperity Flame in particular grew much fainter!
