章 30: Chapter 30: Lady Theron and the Charlatan Richard
###
Richard, who had received a task to flirt with women, took a half-circle walk around the aisle of the wine bar, observing as he walked, and at the same time, thinking about the steps of flirting in his mind.
What should he do?
Be direct? Be subtle? Threaten? Or deceive?
Ding~
After seven steps, a simple plan was formed.
With a decision made, he strode towards the corner booth.
"Good afternoon, beautiful."
He stopped mid-sentence, stunned. How could it be these two? He had just watched their new movie recently and did not expect to meet them here. Were they on a date?
"Are you a fan?" the woman asked generously, smiling.
"Yes, I like your movies. Your new film 'The Devil's Advocate' was fantastic."
"Thank you, are you here for an autograph?" she asked.
"Oh, please wait a moment. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Richard Blade, a Gypsy soul painter."
"What? Gypsy, soul painter?" The woman blinked and looked at the man beside her. The man shook his head, gave Richard a glance, and asked, "What do you want?"
"My grandmother is a Gypsy, and I inherited some of her ability to predict the future. Sometimes, when I see someone, an image of them several years or even decades later suddenly appears in my mind.
My job is to paint these images and give them to the people. That's the work of a soul painter.
Just now, when I saw you, an image of your future appeared in my mind. I want to paint it for you, but I need your permission first."
Richard said earnestly.
"Tee-hee~" While he was speaking, the woman covered her mouth, laughing non-stop. "Then tell me, what will I look like in a few years? Don't tell me I'll still be as beautiful as I am now."
"No, in five or six years, you'll become a fat woman weighing over 180 pounds and very ugly."
"What?!"
The woman suddenly widened her eyes. She was 22 years old, 178 cm tall, and weighed 128 pounds, with an almost perfect figure. Becoming a 180-pound fat woman was an unimaginable disaster.
"Are you joking?"
"No, Gypsies never joke."
Richard said with a straight face.
"Why would I become like that?" the woman asked, frowning.
"The future will tell you," Richard replied.
"Tee-hee~ Charlatan, then what will he become in the future?" the woman pointed at the man and asked.
"Him?" Richard looked quietly for three seconds. "In the future, he will become a bearded man. For a reference, think of a homeless person on the street."
"Tee-hee~ Haha~ Look closely, he's Keanu Reeves, and you say he'll look like a homeless person."
The woman laughed loudly.
"Is it true or not? Want to bet?" Richard took out paper and a pen. "Please write your contact information here. Within a month, I'll mail you the paintings of your future.
On the paintings, I will write a specific date. If it is correct, please pay me a fee of $10,000 in a few years. If it is wrong, I will compensate you $10,000."
"It sounds interesting. I'll bet."
The woman thought for a moment, then took the pen and quickly signed 'Charlize Theron,' along with a string of phone numbers.
"Keanu, will you write?"
"No need. He just wants your contact information," Keanu Reeves said indifferently.
"What?"
"He wants to date you!"
Keanu Reeves chuckled.
Charlize Theron was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood. "Oh, you made up so many stories just to date me? You're so good at making things up. It's a waste you're not an actor."
"."
Richard cursed silently, almost succeeding. It was all Keanu Reeves' fault; this guy talks too much.
"Mr. Reeves, hello. Your performance in 'The Devil's Advocate' was excellent."
"Thank you," the handsome black-haired Keanu Reeves said calmly.
"Mr. Reeves, if one day your life becomes like the protagonist Kevin's, where you have to choose between career and family, what would you choose?"
Richard asked calmly.
In 'The Devil's Advocate,' Keanu Reeves played the protagonist Kevin, a lawyer who, to win cases and maintain a 100% success rate, did things against his conscience, regardless of whether the defendant was guilty.
In the end, under the devil's temptation, he sank deeper into greed and vanity, leading to his girlfriend's suicide and the miscarriage of their child.
According to records, in two or three years, Keanu would face a similar fate: his child would become stillborn, his girlfriend would die in a car accident, and Keanu would suffer a major blow, becoming an outcast in the entertainment industry.
"I would choose family," Keanu Reeves said without hesitation.
"If what I said is true, then before 2001, drop everything and stay at home to take care of your family, especially your unborn child."
"Rubbish, my girlfriend isn't pregnant. Where would the child come from?"
Reeves sneered.
"I just had a full meal. You wouldn't think I was pregnant, would you?" Charlize Theron said, touching her stomach.
"I'm not talking about you. You and Mr. Reeves are not a couple."
"How do you know?"
"I saw it," Richard pointed to his eyes, then looked at Keanu. "Mr. Reeves, if you don't believe me, wait and see. When I watched 'The Devil's Advocate,' I saw some scenes related to your future. In the future, when you are very famous, you will also experience great sorrow and pain. That's fate!"
Keanu Reeves remained silent, his face cold.
"Hey~ hey~, you're too much. If you want my contact information, you can just ask. Considering you're good-looking, I might give it to you. Why scare people with such talk?"
Charlize Theron said with a light hum.
"Ms. Theron, you misunderstand. I approached you for work, not to date you.
I am a soul painter. When I see future fragments, I must paint them immediately. If you believe me, please leave your contact information. If not, then sorry for the disturbance."
Richard stood up and walked towards the aisle.
"Wait!"
Keanu Reeves picked up the pen and quickly wrote a few lines, then handed the paper back to him. "I believe in fate. I'll bet with you."
"Okay, within a month, I'll mail the paintings to you."
Richard left with the paper.
"So confident? Could it be true?" Charlize Theron muttered, watching his back.
"Sally, do you believe you'll become a fat woman in the future?" Keanu Reeves asked, shaking his glass.
"I don't believe it. I will never become like that."
Charlize Theron hummed.
"I believe."
"What? You say I'll become fat?"
"Yes, don't forget we're actors. It's not impossible for me to grow a beard and for you to gain weight."
Keanu Reeves laughed.
"Oh, right. That guy is a sly charlatan. No, he said he would write a date, and our changes would happen during that time. He was so sure. Could he really have seen it?"
Charlize Theron wondered.
"The chances of random guessing are very high. Hmm? Is that Daniel and Director Davis?"
Keanu Reeves looked at where Richard had been sitting in surprise.
"Really."
Charlize Theron also looked at the table. "That guy is indeed a charlatan, targeting celebrities. Let's go expose him."
