Had Craig said ‘no’, it would be two hundred percent harder for him to solve the problem.Just as Daniel was waiting for Craig, a thought suddenly struck him as he looked down at the relic and bank book he was holding. Although the family enemies had never recognized the family relic, he couldn’t leave the house just like that holding it in the open air, could he?

"DETECTING INJURY," the female voice said as the pearls opened up and collagen sprouted out, covering the entire cut on his figure.Daniel watched in awe, his eyes wide open. He remembered the letter in the wooden box with the relic, stating its healing properties. He sat there, half scared and half amazed at the advanced technology that he was witnessing.His finger stopped bleeding in seconds, and the cut closed up leaving no scar or sign of there being a cut. In awe, he stared at his finger.The relic then turned its attention to his STI device on the floor, declaring again in his head, "DEVICE MALFUNCTIONING," and it quickly began repairing it.
