Chapter 182 - 166 The General
The private club on Beihai Mountain, controlled behind the scenes by the Spirit Sect, within a secret room.
The 63-year-old woman who ascended to the presidency of South Korea and ruled half of its realm with a woman’s identity, sat respectfully behind a low table, cradling an exquisite porcelain cup in her hands.
She watched the tea leaves floating and spinning in the cup with utter focus, as if through the changing patterns of the leaves, she could see the endless illusions of the past, present, and future.
From memories unique to her own childhood to the future direction of the entire nation. From the turbulent changes in the world’s political landscape over the next two or three decades to the imminent personal attacks and schemes against her...
It seemed as if she saw something, yet also as if she saw nothing. Mysterious and profound, it was irresistibly engaging.
And sitting across the low table was a young girl in a high school uniform, her eyes closed, holding a baby bottle, feeding a newborn baby cradled in her arms.
When the tea leaves gradually stopped spinning and the visions naturally dissipated, Madame Park lifted her stiff neck, both shocked and regretful, said, "It’s over again..."
A best friend, seated in the corner of the room, curiously asked, "What did you see, Your Excellency?"
"I thought I saw a golf course, a missile truck, and... you?"
Madame Park looked puzzled at her close friend Cui Shunshi, who was like a sister to her. Since the divination prophecy did not produce clear results, she couldn’t understand the direction of the "future" she saw.
She nodded respectfully to the high school girl once more and asked softly, "Goddess, I want to know, what I saw, is it an ill omen or a good one?"
