Chapter: Chapter twenty one Elvis's fingers instinctively brushed against the ring on his finger, and a sudden jolt ran through him. It was as if the metal vibrated with an otherworldly energy, drawing his gaze like a magnet. The stone, though unseen, seemed to call to him, its presence resonating deep within his chest. A shiver danced down his spine as realization dawned – the stone was the key to harnessing his power. Without it, the torrent within him would remain untamed.Just then, Mr. Johnson's booming voice interrupted the silence. "I'm glad you've decided to accept my offer, Elvis.

Chapter: Chapter TwentyElvis's mind replayed the events like a movie on repeat. The words he'd spoken, the acupuncture procedures – everything had been guided by the ring's signals. He stared at the ring, a mix of awe and unease swirling in his chest. "This ring is powerful," he whispered to himself, his eyes fixed on the band.Mrs. Nath's gentle voice broke the spell. "Sir Elvis, I'm so sorry for everything I said and did earlier. Thank you for saving my father's life." Elvis's gaze shifted to hers, and he offered a soft smile.

"I...I owe you an apology too, Sir," he mumbled, his words barely audible. Elvis's smile faltered for a moment before he replied, "I'm just glad I could help your grandfather."As he spoke, Elvis's mind still lingered on the ring's mysterious power. How could it possibly know wha
