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
With these words, Henry stared straight into Cloyd's face.Although Cloyd didn't want Henry to go too far with his guest, he reluctantly accepted the young man's challenge.For the sake of his daughter, he would do anything."Master, as Henry said, I will give you anything you want!" Cloyd bowed again, sincerely pleading for his daughter's recovery.Seeing this, a cunning light shone from Orin's face."I did not expect that my visit this time would bring such great benefits! This family is truly foolish, allowing me to manipulate them so easily!"He then looked at Henry and continued to speak in his heart. "But I can't let this rat live much longer, or he might cause me trouble later!"Orin closed his eyes and raised his face, pretending to be deep in thought."Cloyd, you made a big mistake by disobeying my orders! However, since you show a strong intention to rectify it, I will give you one more chance!"He opened his eyes and stared sharply at Cloyd, "Give me 1 billion dollars and l
Despite trying to choose his words carefully, Cloyd couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.He had hoped that this young man could help him persuade Master Dalbs to cure his daughter.Instead, he made the only person who could help his daughter leave.Before this, Cloyd had great faith in Henry.However, Orin, a renowned master healer, had gained recognition throughout the country over the years. How could Henry, a mere college professor, compare?Not only did Cloyd's faith in Henry begin to wane, but he felt a giant hammer strike his heart as he thought about his daughter's condition."Forgive me, my love! This is all my fault! I should have been able to protect you better!" he cried in his heart.While everyone else was drowning in sadness, Henry felt both joy and guilt.Joy, because he could finally get the old fraud out of the house.Guilt, however, for letting everyone sink into sadness and despair."Even Zane, who seemed so strong and resilient, looks like he has no hope!
