[You must enter the gate immediately, Master. The gates will be closing soon.]I could faintly hear Newt's voice. I opened my eyes and saw the white circle in front of me shrinking. I stumbled towards the white hole. But after only a few steps, my body collapsed.My vision was blurred and the gate to Smoky Hollow was no longer clearly visible. I took a deep breath, although it was a little difficult, as if there was a big lump in my throat. I concentrated on being able to use my healing abilities. Shortly afterwards I felt my body warm up. When I opened my eyes, the white hole in front of me was clearly visible again.[You only have a few seconds left, Master. Ten... nine ....]I got up quickly and ran towards the gate, which was only about the size of a car tyre.[Four... three... two...]I breathed a sigh of relief as I managed to get inside the gate before it closed completely. And within seconds, I was transported. Although I managed to use the healing skill, my body had not fully
It did not take long for me to make a full recovery. I removed the drip from my arm after feeling my body return to its original state."You should rest more, sir. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet," Olivia commented as she watched me remove my IV."I'm already fine, Oliv. My body can heal quickly. Didn't you know that yourself when I was shot in the shoulder?"I saw Olivia pause for a moment, as if returning to that memory. "Yes, sir. Even within hours, the bullet wound on your body had completely disappeared." She said quietly, between doubt and certainty.I just smiled faintly and walked past her to the bathroom in my room."You can go back to the office. I'm already fine.""Yes, sir. Shall I ask one of the maids to accompany you?"My hand was already on the bathroom doorknob. I was about to turn it when I postponed my intention and turned to Olivia instead. "No, thanks."It seems Olivia has learned a lot. She no longer argues with me. Olivia just nodded like a cute cat."Yes, s
"Alchemist?" I frowned as I read the message in front of me. "What's that? I've never heard of that. Is it someone who makes potions, Newt?"It sounded so strange. I had only learned about chemistry in high school, but I had never heard of alchemists.[One of them. An alchemist would be able to create precious potions as well as lucky stones.]I was amazed. That sounded really cool."Is that good, Newt?"[It can be good if you use your powers for good. But it can also be bad if you misuse your abilities. An alchemist can make not only healing potions, but also deadly poisons]I fell silent for a moment at Newt's words. It would be terrible if someone could create a poison that could influence other people's minds to obey their commands. If this potion could really be created, it would certainly be able to rule the world.I looked at the cover of the book I was holding. There were letters engraved on the bottom that made me curious."GH?"What does the letter "GH" mean? Could they be t
To speed up my hunt, I made a reckless decision that could prove fatal.[Are you kidding me, Master? Level 7 zombies will come from all sides if you stop using the Scent Stone]"This is what I expected, Newt."It will take a long time if I search for them one by one. It will be quicker like this, they will all come to me.[But that will be extremely dangerous. It is impossible to fight them all at once. We don't even know how many level 7 zombies there are in this area. Your weapons are not the highest level either.]"Just do as I say, Newt. I"ve thought this through. Just follow my instructions."[Yes, Master][The effect of the scent stone will wear off in five seconds, Master]I just nodded as I heard Newt's words. The weapon was ready in my right hand. I took a long breath to calm my nerves. Not long after that, what I had been waiting for came.Five level 7 zombies came from different directions. One zombie moved quickly towards me, but I quickly moved to the right and spun aroun
I held Sofia back as she tried to attack Olivia. With difficulty, I pushed her inside and sat her on the sofa."Why did you bring her? Is she the reason you won't come back to me and our child?" Sofia shouted loudly, as if she were the woman who was hurt because I'd cheated on her.I take a deep breath, trying to control myself. I still remembered that she was a pregnant woman, whether it was my child or not.She kept swearing and saying bad things about Olivia. She kept saying that Olivia was a bitch, as if she didn't look at herself.Finally, I couldn't listen to her anymore, and I shouted at her."Shut up!"The mouth that kept saying bad things was immediately silenced. I gave her a sharp look and showed her my annoyance."I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense, Sofia." I said it in a low tone but full of emphasis so that Sofia knew I was trying to hold back my anger.Sofia's face immediately turned pale, I could even see her swallowing her saliva in nervousness."Why did yo
"Have you had dinner?" After a long silence, I finally broke it. Olivia, who was looking at the screen of her phone, immediately turned to me."Huh?" She was confused, as if she had not heard what I had said."Have you eaten?" I repeated my question because she hadn't heard it."I'm not hungry, sir." As usual, Olivia always refused when I offered to eat with her."Then join me for dinner."I saw the look of refusal on her face. So, before she uttered a refusal, I said it again. "I'll give you a bigger bonus.""Yes, sir."I frowned. Olivia was really strange. She looks like a struggling person who desperately needs money right now."How is Mr Alfred? Is he doing well?" For some reason, I was curious how Olivia's father, the former owner of Quinion Corp, was doing. What was he doing with all that money? Is he building a new company or is he just using it for fun?"Um... Dad is doing well." It was a short answer and I was not satisfied with it. But there was no way I could keep asking qu
I tried to calm down when I saw Olivia's bloody head. Although my healing skill is still at level 1, I'll try to use it this time. I read a book about controlling body energy and transferring it to others, and I'm going to try it this time.The back of Olivia's head seems to have hit something, so there is blood coming from the back of her head and also from her nose. This would be very bad if it wasn't dealt with immediately.After concentrating the energy in my right hand, I placed it over Olivia's head. I closed my eyes and began to send my energy to Olivia. But as time went by my body felt weak because the energy I was releasing was very large. This was because I was channeling energy out of my body, which took a lot of energy.I continued to concentrate until I finally saw Olivia, who was initially closed, slowly move her eyelids, a sign that the girl's condition was improving. I was relieved when Olivia finally opened her eyes."Sir..." That was the first word out of Olivia's mo
"Mr Durand, what brings you to our house?" An old man looked shocked when he opened the door. After being discharged from hospital, this was the first place I wanted to go. I hadn't even had time to go home."Where is your son?" I asked, the very reason I had come. I am sure Horace knows where Ian is. He is the kind of parent who would defend his child no matter what. So even if this Ian were to commit a crime, he would turn a blind eye and protect him.The old man's eyes widened, as if shocked at what I had just said. "I don't know where Ian is. He has never come home since the police started looking for him. My wife is even going mad missing him."I chuckled. "I know you are lying, Mr Willis. Tell me where your son is or I will tear your family apart even more," I threatened the man who had insulted me. I remember him and his son arrogantly insulting me. They acted as if I was rubbish and did not deserve to live.When he heard my threat, his face immediately turned pale. He even pro
