Born With a Tongue of Fate

My words have always come true since birth. When I first learned to talk, I babbled that Dad was going to get rich, and that very night, he won a hundred million in the lottery. When I was six, I said the old man in town whose grandson went missing would have him returned safely. The next day, someone found the dirty child at the community entrance. At eighteen, I commented online that the bankrupt Sullivan Group would turn things around against all odds. Sure enough, half a month later, Sullivan Group’s stock soared back to its peak! And so, with just my words, I was treated as an honored guest by the Foster Group. But the moment I stepped into the Foster family’s villa, someone grabbed my collar from behind and slammed me hard onto the ground. “You homewrecker! Isn’t it enough that you’ve been clinging to Riley outside? You actually chased her all the way here? Desperate to climb your way up, aren’t you? I think you’re tired of living!” Falsely accused out of nowhere, I tried desperately to explain, but these people were convinced I was a social climber and beat me with fists and kicks. As my watch shattered against the stone steps with a crisp crack, I tasted the faint metallic tang of blood between my lips and teeth. No one knew that besides my words coming true, I also carried a curse–whoever made me bleed would be plagued with terrible luck. It seemed the Foster family was headed for complete ruin.

“Mr. Carter, please have a seat here. Damien is already on his way back from the company.” “He’ll be here soon.” The butler treated me with respect, smiling obsequiously. I waved my hand. “No need to be so formal.” My words have always come true since birth. Damien had been half-skeptical at first. Two years ago, he tested my ability. I said one sentence–that their stock would rise. That very evening, the stock skyrocketed. The Foster family, which had been teetering on the edge of collapse, managed to hang on for two more years thanks to that one sentence. From then on, Damien knew I was the person he’d been searching for. To get me to speak those golden words again, Damien pulled out all the stops. He even offered to add me to the Foster family trust’s beneficiary list, letting me enjoy the family’s privileges for life. Only then did I reluctantly agree. After the butler settled me in, she went to the kitchen to prepare some fruit. The other household staff treated me with utmost respect, their eyes full of reverence. I sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for Damien to return, when a stabbing pain shot through my temple. I frowned, turning just as a heavy decorative sculpture crashed into my head, instantly leaving it bloody. I clutched my forehead, seeing through the blood the twisted face of Kyle Anderson. The moment they saw me injured, the two household staff beside me panicked. “Mr. Carter is an honored guest invited by Damien Foster himself. Who are you?” Kyle ground his teeth. “Let’s see who dares touch me. I’m Riley Foster’s fiancé!” “You bastard, how dare you seduce Riley! You even followed her home!” His friends all looked at me with contempt. “Look at this pathetic loser. How could he even compare to Kyle?” “Anyone with working eyes knows who to choose.” “Sneaky bastard. We’re going to teach you a good lesson today.” They tore me down with every word. I frowned, my voice cold. “I’m not here to latch onto anyone. Stop spouting nonsense.” I turned to leave, but Kyle’s heavy fist slammed into my face. “Shameless trash! Don’t think I haven’t noticed you hovering around Riley all the time.” “You probably spend every day trying to get her attention, don’t you?” He lunged forward, his index finger nearly poking my face, his voice vicious. I suddenly remembered Riley Foster. To get me to speak those golden words for the Foster family, she came to see me every day, all smiles and sweet concern. I never expected Kyle Anderson to be her fiancé. The servants around me quickly reacted, surrounding me protectively and carefully trying to stop my bleeding. My voice was ice-cold. “Damien invited me here to help. I have nothing to do with your fiancée.” One of the staff members carefully spoke up for me. “Mr. Carter has the ability to make his words come true.” At those words, Kyle doubled over with laughter, laughing so hard tears came out. “You say your words come true? Then I guess I’m God himself.” “You’ve said so much–I don’t see anything coming true.” I sighed inwardly. Though I had the ability to make my words come true, it only worked effectively once a year. I wouldn’t use this ability lightly. Kyle sneered, hands in his pockets. “Do I look like some idiot who’d believe that?” “You dare to be a homewrecker with me, Kyle Anderson? I’ll make you pay.” His eyes fixed on me like a poisonous snake. The people around him stepped forward, looking at me mockingly. He was coming for me. I stepped back, my voice hoarse. “If you touch me, the Foster family won’t let you get away with this.” Kyle was the first to rush forward, grabbing my hair and slamming my head hard against the ground. “Little bastard, you really dare to talk.” “Brothers, get him! Teach this homewrecker a good lesson!”

I frowned as blood dripped from my forehead. I was truly angry now, looking at Kyle with cold eyes. “I’m a guest of the Foster family. What are you?” “Leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened.” Though he’d have some bad luck for a while. Seeing me completely dismiss him, Kyle finally lost control. His eyes bloodshot, he lunged at me, straddling me and beating me viciously. I was pinned to the ground with no strength to fight back. But as he came close, I opened my mouth and bit down hard on his ear. Kyle clutched his ear, glaring at me. His friends rushed over, pinning me firmly to the ground, each one punching me. My scalp burned with tearing pain as they yanked me backward, making me fall face-up onto the gravel path. I groaned. In front of me, pairs of men’s dress shoes formed an impenetrable circle. When a shoe tip kicked my ribs, I heard the fine crackling of bone. The first punch left my right ear ringing. “This is what you get for being a homewrecker! Shameless!” The second blow left my left cheek burning and swollen. “Trash! I hate people like you who mess with other people’s relationships! Disgusting!” By the third kick, I could taste rust in my mouth. “People like you don’t deserve to live in this world.” They took turns grabbing my collar and yanking it back, the fabric mixing with blood and sticking to my swollen cheek. Fists deliberately smashed into my eye corners, warm blood droplets rolling into my collar. They struck viciously. The two household staff nearby were terrified. I looked at them. “Call Damien now!” I gasped for breath, coldly warning Kyle. “Let me go right now, or I swear I’ll make you pay.” Kyle sneered, kicking me again and again. “You really think I don’t know anything?” “You’re just an ordinary person! Your words coming true? Bullshit!” “You just wanted to seduce Riley when I wasn’t paying attention. I’ve already seen through your plan.” He kicked my ribs with his shoe tip. As I curled up, my forehead hit the concrete edge, blood immediately covering my right eye. Finally, he grabbed the back of my neck and slammed it against the coffee table edge. The instant ceramic shards cut open my chin, blood dripped onto the floor. He sneered and kicked me hard in the abdomen. “Bastard!” I clutched my stomach, curling into a ball. “What are you doing?!” The butler finally emerged from the kitchen with a fruit platter. Seeing my wretched state, her pupils constricted sharply. She hurried over to help me up. “Mr. Carter is Damien’s honored guest! Damien specifically instructed us to treat him well!” “Who dared lay hands on Mr. Carter?” She turned around, meeting Kyle’s eyes. Kyle chuckled. “It was me.” “Kyle, what are you doing here?” Kyle looked at her, his voice cold. “What honored guest? He’s just an ordinary person.” “Let me tell you, I’m going to marry Riley Foster in the future.” The butler glanced at Kyle, then at me. Finally, she reluctantly let go of my hand. I couldn’t stand at all and fell back onto the ground. Kyle sneered, looking smug. “What ability to make words come true? I think it’s all a scam!” “Tell me, do his words really come true or not?” The butler’s eyes darted around before she walked over to Kyle. “Who knows if these supernatural abilities are real or fake?” My heart seized.

Kyle was very pleased with the butler’s flattery. I was bleeding all over, with no strength left to resist. I could barely breathe, let alone speak. Kyle grabbed my chin, his gaze falling on the watch on my wrist. Before I could cover the watch, he reached out and yanked it off my wrist. “Give it back!” My voice was shrill, completely ignoring the bloody marks torn on my wrist. This watch was the only thing my late mother left me. I clenched my back teeth. “Give it back!” I tried to get up and snatch the watch back. But the two people holding me beat me again. Kyle waved the watch in front of me. “This watch is so important to you?” “I can give it back. How about you kneel before me and beg?” “If I’m happy, I’ll return it.” My eyes turned blood-red, fists clenched tight, looking at him with pure hatred. Kyle looked indifferent, holding the watch with disgust. “Looks like you don’t care about this watch that much.” “In that case…” He held up the watch, about to throw it away. I released my broken, bleeding lips. “I’ll kneel!” After those words, all my strength seemed drained. He bent down, patting my face. “Didn’t expect you to be so sensible.” “If you’re going to kneel, do it quickly. Time waits for no one.” I looked at the watch in his hand, closed my eyes, and knelt down. Once I got my watch back, I would make him pay. I knelt on the ground, staring at him. “Give it back.” Kyle looked extremely smug. “You think I’ll give it back just because you ask?” “Let me tell you, this is what you get for trying to climb above your station.” With that, he threw the watch on the ground and immediately stomped on it hard. I watched helplessly as the watch face shattered into pieces, powerless to stop it. My voice was hoarse. “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” Getting up from the ground, I rushed forward and grabbed his neck. “Crazy! He’s crazy!” Soon, I was dragged away by his people. I was filled with hatred, grinding my teeth. “Kyle Anderson, I won’t let you get away with this.” As soon as I spoke, they all burst into laughter. Kyle laughed so hard he nearly doubled over. “This is hilarious! Did I hear that right? You, an ordinary person, won’t let me get away with it?” “Oh, I’m so scared. I’d love to see how you won’t let me get away with it.” “Looks like you haven’t learned your lesson. In that case, teach him another good lesson.” A group of people rushed at me again. This time, I didn’t resist at all, just quietly curled up on the ground, letting their fists rain down on me. “Hahaha, look at him! Is he beaten stupid? He doesn’t even know how to fight back!” Kyle laughed until tears came out. I looked at the blood pooling on the ground, a smile curving my lips.

Seeing me smile, Kyle flew into a rage, roaring, “You bastard, what are you smiling at?” “Believe it or not, I’ll make sure you never smile again in your life!” My voice was soft, carrying a hint of chill, as I looked at him. “You’re about to be disfigured.” Hearing my words, Kyle’s eyes widened. His face turned darker than the bottom of a pot. “You bastard, how dare you curse me!” “I won’t let you get away with this.” He rolled up his sleeves, walking toward me. But in the next second, he fell to the ground. “Ah!” He screamed, hand clutching his face. “Kyle, your face!” His friends couldn’t help but speak up. Kyle pulled out his phone to look, screaming even louder. He covered the bleeding side of his face, glaring at me. My gaze fell on the broken glass that suddenly appeared on the ground, lips curving slightly. Kyle was furious. He rushed at me. “You crow’s mouth! Who told you to curse me!” “Since you have such a foul mouth, I’ll make sure you can never speak again.” My nails dug into my palms, voice hoarse. “You wouldn’t dare!” He raised an eyebrow. “Why wouldn’t I dare? I’m going to marry Riley in the future. You’re a powerless nobody. Why wouldn’t I dare touch you!” He signaled to the people around him. I was immediately restrained. He pulled a switchblade from his bag, walking toward me step by step. “Today, I’ll teach you a lesson about running that mouth of yours.” “Even if you stab through my throat, I’ll recover.” As those words left my mouth, a golden light flashed in my pupils. But it was too fast–no one noticed. He moved quickly, the blade aiming straight for my throat. The pain made my whole body struggle, but I couldn’t make a sound. Seeing me like this, Kyle was extremely pleased. “This is what trash deserves.” Tears streamed down my cheeks uncontrollably. The pain in my throat made cold sweat pour from my body. My vision darkened. I felt like I couldn’t hold on much longer. The butler ran over to Kyle. “This is exactly how to deal with shameless people like him.” “Men like this who interfere with other people’s engagements deserve to be punished.” I bit my tongue, the metallic taste keeping me conscious. Kyle dusted off his hands, raising an eyebrow. “Right, such a disgusting man should have his legs broken. Let’s take him to the garage and teach him a proper lesson.” He looked at me like trash, disgust in his eyes. “Grab him.” As soon as he spoke, a voice came from behind. “Who are you people, and what are you doing at my Foster family’s doorstep?” “Adrian!” I heard Damien’s voice.
