For a moment, Henry's body tightened.He couldn't believe what had just happened.Someone had borrowed Henry's hand to end his own life."You're a good man, old man! May you rest in peace!" Henry said as he placed his hand on the old man's face and closed his eyelids."How is that? The only person I could ask just died! What should I do to find the magical object?" Pondering various options, Henry returned to the storage room behind the old shop.Pinching his nose with the index finger and thumb of his left hand, Henry walked around the room looking for clues. But until a dozen minutes later, he saw nothing.Just as his heart was about to give out, his eyes fell on a pile of jars containing liquid and human hair.Suddenly, his mind remembered the bottle he had brought earlier."Isn't the shadow in that bottle still there?"Henry rushed to the front room to retrieve the bottle.As he re-entered the storage room, the bottle vibrated quite strongly.Although he found it strange, a glimme
"I didn't ask you to be her boyfriend! I just want someone to protect her! If you're willing to do that for me, I'll be very grateful!"Hearing such a request, Henry seemed hesitant.On the one hand, he would gladly help Mia or anyone else in need, as long as he could do something for them.But if he had to take care of Mia, he was afraid that he might not be able to do that.Besides not knowing Mia yet, he wasn't sure if the girl needed his help."Miss, Mia is not a child anymore! I'm sure she can take care of herself!"Margret shook her head."No, you don't know the truth! I've never told her how her father died!You know what, he died because of magic!That's why I need your help!Besides being a good person, you also have knowledge of magic!I can die peacefully anytime if someone like you takes care of her!"Her husband died because of magic?Henry furrowed his brow.Why did she not tell him earlier?"I'm sorry, I can't," Henry said.Then he bowed his head for a moment.His face
Before Zane opened the door, he looked at Henry."Someone is spying on us! Stay here! I'll take care of these little rats!"Zane and the bodyguards entered the woods as he had instructed earlier.As Zane got out of the car, Henry looked around but saw no one outside."Zane has sharp eyes! He should be a cultivator!"A few moments later, shouts and the sound of empty-handed punches echoed from the woods next to them.But it didn't last long.In less than five minutes, Zane was back in the car."Who are they?" Henry asked.Zane shook his head slowly."I don't know! I can't confirm their identities because they were all wearing masks! But I guess they are from the Williamson family!"What?The Williamson family?Isn't that Hallie's family?"Why are they attacking you? Do you have a feud with them?"Zane buckled his seat belt and started the car."Don't you know?" He asked as he drove off.Without waiting for Henry to answer, he continued."Benjamin, the head of the Williamson family, des
Zane ordered his bodyguards to do a sweep of the area.After making sure that all the attackers were taken care of, he ordered two sedans to move forward while one sedan stayed behind.This way he could ensure Henry's safety in case of further attacks."Henry, if I may ask, are you having problems with them as well?""You mean the Williamson family?" Henry's brow furrowed at the question. "Why do you ask that?""Because it seems like they didn't come for me... they came for you!""What?" Henry exclaimed. "That's impossible!""How can you be so sure? You're a Cultivator, right? Maybe you have problems with one of their people!""I can assure you that's not the case, because I once helped a member of their family! So how could they target me?"Henry didn't explicitly mention that Hallie was the one he helped.The reason was simple.If Henry mentioned her name, Zane would realize that Hallie had been involved with someone other than her "official partner," and that would undoubtedly affe
"You have to see for yourself! That's why Mr. Cloyd called you right away!"Seeing Zane's expression, Henry understood that the daughter of the Richardson family might not be well.After that, neither of them spoke.They were both lost in their own thoughts.Fifteen minutes later, the car had left the woods.It turned onto a smaller paved road with vast expanses of grassland on either side, dotted with an oak or two and a few other types of trees elsewhere.Although Henry had lived in Waterside for six years, he had never been to a place like this.Ten minutes later, a wall of rubble more than ten feet high stretched out in front of him.In the middle was a gate guarded by three or four guards.As soon as the gatekeepers saw the sedan convoy approaching, they immediately opened the automatic iron door.As Henry's car entered the gate tunnel, he could hear a guard on a walkie-talkie."Mr. Zane has arrived! Report to the Master immediately!"Elsewhere.After the mysterious assailants fa
Upon hearing the sound, Cloyd rushed to the door and opened it himself.As the door swung open, a figure about 170 centimeters tall stood in front of him. Dressed in a black robe that covered him from top to bottom, the man's face was painted white, while the area around his eyelids was painted black, and his eyeballs appeared bloodshot.With such an appearance, anyone who saw him would feel a bit of fear in their hearts."Master Dalbs, it is an honor for me that you are willing to come to me!" Cloyd greeted.Seeing how much he respected the guest, Henry understood that he should step back for a moment and let the strange old man take over."Who is he?" he asked Zane."His name is Orin Dalbs! He is a very famous traditional healer in the capital!When Miss Isabella was in a coma for a week, Mrs. Naomi wanted to take her to him for treatment, but you managed to heal Miss Isabella then!""Has he been here before?" Henry asked again."Of course not! He is a great person, worshipped by ma
Not only did Isabella seem unafraid of him, as she had shown before.The girl even seems to desire Orin now!Smiling sweetly at the old man, Isabella struck a very sensual pose with her body."Do you miss me as much as I miss you? Come to me now!"Moving her index finger in a very flirtatious gesture, Isabella invited Orin to come closer to her, like a girl who has not seen her lover for a long time."Hahaha!" Orin shouted with joy in his heart. "The Medusa Poison is indeed very effective! This potion has never let me down!" he said, looking at the remaining green liquid in the bottle in his right hand.Someone hearing the name of the potion for the first time might think it's a deadly poison.Unfortunately, that's a misconception.On the contrary, Medusa poison is a very powerful love potion.If you apply even a little to any part of a woman's body, she will become someone who longs for the caresses and loving care of a man.Not only that, but this potion will also reveal the deepest
"Henry, since the first time I met you, I have trusted you! So I hope you won't ruin it!""Of course, Mr. Cloyd! I always stand by what I say! I am even willing to guarantee it with my own life if I lie or endanger Miss Isabella's safety!"After hearing Henry's sincerity, Cloyd finally made a decision."All right, everyone, follow me!"Hesitantly, the head of the Richardson family approached the door.Knock! Knock!"Master, are you all right?"But there was no answer from inside.Cloyd was a little worried. "Should I abandon my plan?" he wondered.Aware that the man was hesitating, Henry looked at him seriously and nodded to assure him that everything was all right.Cloyd put his hand on the door and knocked harder."Master, forgive me! Is everything okay?"As before, after a few seconds of waiting, there was still no response from inside.This time, Cloyd was worried.Not only was he worried that something might have gone wrong with Orin's treatment, but he was even more worried abou
