“Buddy please try your best to save her. No matter what the outcome is, we can take it!” Diana looked at him with resoluteness, her mind made up and ready to face any consequences. “I can help her but when I’m done I hope Mister Patel will deliver on his end of the promise.” Henry approached Sophia who was still unconscious on her bed and helped her sit up. With just one hand he applied needles at 13 different pressure points on Shella’s body. His technique was extraordinary.When the 13 needles began to rotate on the spot in the pressure points he gave Sophia a strong smack on the back. Sophia wavered, her head jerked upwards and she spat several white crystals which landed on the ground with a resounding thunk. The crystals were a murky white color and gave off a bone–chilling mist. “The coldness has crystallized?” Oliver’s expression was one of disbelief. No wonder his acupuncture served no purpose. It turns out that the coldness that Sophia’s body had been absorbing over the
“Who else but me?” Owen made his way in haughtily. He had in his hands a small red wooden box that held the Auric root. “Hey buddy! Uncle Martin’s given me the Auric root. It’s mine now!” Owen patted the box smugly with a Sneer. “So what if the rascal stole the limelight today? Ultimately I’m the one who benefited from it! At the end of the day he’s just a lowly peasant!” Owen thought. “Martin Patel! You are an influential person with high social standing and you carry the honor of the Patel family with you! How could you go back on your words and betray someone who has helped you? Are you not afraid that you’d be ridiculed?” Henry slammed his hand on the table and stood up. He was truly angry. He could understand Martin’s previous change of mind as it was a matter pertaining to his daughter’s health condition. Oliver had a reputation for having great expertise in his field which naturally made him more deserving of trust on Martin’s end. But now it was a different case altogethe
Few days later at the medical center, Mia and Henry were having a discussion amongst themselves. The two chatted about many things until Mia suddenly spoke up.“Henry I need a favor from you.” “What is it?” Henry asked suspiciously. “I’m going to a reunion with some of my classmates later can you come with me and be my bodyguard?” Mia was very straightforward. “The Philip family has so many bodyguards why do you need me? I’m not interested” Henry refused. “How can those men compare to you? Well to be honest with you there’s a really annoying guy among my classmates who’s been pursuing me. I told him I have a boyfriend but he doesn’t believe me. That’s why I need you to come along.” Mia pouted. “In conclusion you’re just using me as an excuse! That makes me even less interested.” Henry shrugged. “Hey! I consider you a friend and you won’t even help me with this small matter? Where’s your loyalty?” Mia had a displeased expression on her face. “What do you mean? Don’t talk nonsens
“With Mister Sebastian’s identity and abilities he is in the spotlight wherever he goes. A loser like you can never compare to him!” “Oh so what?” “Hey can’t you say anything else?” “Oh so what?” The girl in yellow rolled her eyes. Her face turned red with anger and disgust. It was so damn infuriating to talk to this guy! “Punk you’ve got a sharp tongue but what good does it do? You will always be inferior to me in every way. In the face of my complete dominance sweet talk and flattery will get you nowhere!” Sebastian sneered. “Oh so what?” Henry retorted. “You…” Sebastian’s mouth twitched feeling annoyed. Damn it why was this punk repeating the same sentence over and over again? Couldn’t they have a decent conversation? Just as they were talking they were interrupted by a commotion outside the door. “Stop right there! This place has been booked for another event. Everyone who is not involved please leave-!” “Surround them! Don’t let anyone escape!” Amidst curdling screams
“He only knows how to talk big but he’s actually just a coward!” “What a wimp disgusting loser!” Remaining silent would have been better for Henry as anything he said only led to contempt. “Punk it’s obvious that you don’t have the guts nor the ability to fight. Why pretend to be tough? If you kneel down and beg. I might teach you a few moves so you won’t wet yourself from fear the next time.” Sebastian sneered. “If you’re so capable then take down those two behind you first.” Henry pointed his chin to the door. Sebastian turned around in surprise and saw that there were indeed two more people. Both of them were bald one dressed in green and the other in black. They were muscular and burly men with fierce eyes and bulging biceps. “Oh! Who are these two men who don’t fear death?” Sebastian smirked scornfully. “Was it you who injured our men?” The bald man in green spoke first. “Yes it’s me. What are you going to do about it? What do you want to have a laste of my roundhouse ki
“Godon take Miss Patel away. I want to have some fun with the beautiful ladies here first” Liam said with a wicked grin. “Listen up. all of you. If you don’t want to die take off your clothes. Otherwise you’ll have to bear the consequences of inciting my anger!” As soon as he spoke all the girls turned pale with fear.Were they going to be violated by this pervert? “Miss Patel come with me.” Godon the bald guy in black stepped forward and approached Sophia. “Stop right there!” Suddenly Mirabel grabbed a fruit knile and stood in front of Sophia.“I’m warning you don’t come any closer or Ill stab you!”“Get lost!” Without saying another word Godon swung his hand toward Mirabel. The energy gathered around Godon’s hand was strong enough to whip up a wind around them. At the crucial moment a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Godon’s wrist. Godon’s palm was frozen inches from Mirabel’s face. “You can bully the others but you can’t touch these two” Henry said calmly. “How dare you
“Your point exactly?” Henry shot back. “I suspect that you colluded with the Four Scoundrels to come up with a plan to get close to Shella!” Owen accused.“I can assure you it’s not like that- Sophia spoke up before being interrupted by Owen again.“Don’t be fooled Sophia! We don’t know where this guy is from or what his intentions are. Thus he must be interrogated thoroughly for your safety. Apprehend this man for me at once” At his command the group of elite guards proceeded to cock their guns. “Stop! I was the one who brought Henry here so I can guarantee that he isn’t a bad guy!” Mirable stepped forward attempting to mediate the situation. “Whether he’s a bad guy or not we’ll know once we catch him!” Owen retorted. “Hey do you still have any sense left in that brain of yours? Can’t you see that you’re being cruel by apprehending an innocent person?” Mirable was getting annoyed with Owen’s stubbornness. “Who are you to talk sense to me? Get lost!” Owen screamed before lifting
“You want us to state our case right? Fine I’ll grant you your wish” Henry said and suddenly turned to face Sophia before continuing. “May I know if the sachet in front of your chest is a gift from Owen, Miss Patel?” “I–I’m not sure. All I know is that Ava gave it to me.” Sophia said with her head lowered. “What if I told you it was from Owen?” Henry continued to probe. Ava felt that she had nothing to hide so she immediately shot back “Owen had to beg an expert to procure this sachet and he had me deliver it to Sophia afterward. It was said to aid in one’s sleep and nourish the soul so why are you finding fault in this?” “It was said to aid in one’s sleep and nourish the soul? What a load of crap!” Henry snickered before Snatching the sachet off her chest and throwing it into a glass of wine. “Gurgle gurgle.” The sound of bubbles could be heard as the sachet suddenly started expanding in size as if hinting that there was something inside. Immediately after a thin red–colored
