2024-10-29 19:42:56“What the?” Thomas holds his forehead. “Are you fucking nuts? Do you have any idea how much that thing cost?” he deplores.
“Shut up!” the girl snaps. “I know you were trying to put me to sleep with that strange liquid so you could rape me!”
The girl’s bad judgment makes Thomas even more desperate. “Aw, come on! If I really wanted to rape you, I don't need to put you to sleep. Don't you realize your current condition? Oh, God! You just wasted 47 grand-worth of Ether!”
“Ether?” the girl mumbles.
She looks curious for a moment. But her bad thoughts towards Thomas still don’t disappear, especially when he talked about the 47 grand, which is more than enough to buy one expensive city car.
She looks at him with a funny look, noting Thomas' humble outfits. “Give me a break! Like you really have that much money in your life!”
Thomas grimaces. What he has worried about actually happens. The girl looks down on him because of his appearance.
“Hey, look!” Thomas tries to regain his composure before making the girl understand her current situation. “I don't care what you think about me, but...”
“Shut up!” The girl denies him immediately. “I don’t even know who you are!”
That one is really effective to put Thomas in a complete silent, admitting that the girl really has the reason to doubting him. He scratches his forehead with a desperate look, and sighs.
“Whatever!”
He gets off from the grave, and then tries to move his legs, intending to take his leave. Of course, this makes the girl anxious.
“Wait!” She halts. “Where are you going?”
“You are right! We don’t know each other. Like I care you are going to die or not,” Thomas frets as he keeps crawling away.
“Please, don’t leave me alone here,” the girl cries.
Soon, a cold breeze blows her hair. This is not her first time to visit this cemetery. But somehow, she feels the place becomes more eerie than how it usually is.
She is such a superstitious girl, and believes in the existence of ghosts and demons. Not to mention it is going to get dark soon.
“Hey! Mister! Whoever you are! Please! Come back here!”
Right when she tries to move her left leg, she feels the pain in the bite wound.
“Uhk! My leg?”
Now, she is facing the similar predicament as what Thomas currently has, crawling while dragging her left leg.
It’s not that she can’t walk. She is too scared to move her left leg after what Thomas warned her earlier.
“Hey, listen!” she calls. “There’s someone on the side of the road at the cemetery gate! At least, tell him to come here to help me!”
Thomas stops, and looks back at her. He then observes his surroundings, and finds that the cemetery is quite vast. He can’t even see the road or the gate the girl mentioned.
“How far it is from here?” asks Thomas.
“Um, I.., I’m not so sure! About 200 meters. Maybe more,” the girl replies, panting.
Thomas realizes that the girl's condition is getting worse. He doubts whether he will be able to reach the gate by crawling to get help for her any time soon.
He then moves to behind a gravestone. The girl begs again, afraid that Thomas is going to ignore her. But then, she sees a blue light from behind the gravestone.
Moments later, Thomas reappears, but now seems to be limping on a katana. He still finds it difficult to stand on his two feet.
The difficulty is clearly visible on his face. He looks like a wounded soldier returning from war, making the girl think that Thomas is going to kill her.
“Where did you get that sword? What are you going to do to me?”
Thomas ignores her fear, and puts down a vial containing a yellow liquid, looking similar to the one the girl threw away. He also puts a plastic bottle containing green liquid, the same liquid he previously used at the river bank to treat the dog bite wounds in his hand.
“Look! This yellow liquid can cure any poisons and bad ailments. And this green one, it can cure external wounds. You only need to drink this Ether, and then pour this green liquid on the bite wound.”
“It’s up to you whether you believe me or not! Take them at your own risk! I’ll go find the one you mentioned earlier. But I don’t know if I can make it in time.”
Finished with that, Thomas leaves the girl, limping away by using the katana as support to walk. He tries to get to the gate as quickly as possible, and stumbles several times because of it. Until then, the girl can no longer see Thomas.
More than 10 minutes have passed, but the girl hasn’t touched the vial Thomas left behind. She begins to doubt whether Thomas will return with help or not. Meanwhile, she feels that her condition is already getting worse.
In the end, she bets on her fate, crawls towards the Ether liquid, and opens the lid.
“If I die because of this, I’m going to haunt that bastard!”
She is gulping while holding the vial. After collecting her courage, she drinks the yellow liquid. Magically, her condition improves in a short time.
“Eh?”
In less than 5 seconds, all the symptoms she has felt since she was bitten by the snake are gone, except for the pain from the snake bite wound.
It’s so weird. She is sure that any type of anti-venom would at least take some time to cure her from the poison.
“No way! Who is that guy?”
She looks hectic, wanting to look for Thomas. Just as she tries to move her left leg, she still feels the pain in her left thigh.
And so, she picks the plastic bottle, and then pours a bit of the green liquid on the snake bite wound. She expects another miracle, but…
“Aarrgh!!!”
She screams because of the burn sensation after pouring the liquid on her wound. She convulses on the ground, clenching her fists so tightly, gritting her teeth so hard while enduring the excruciating pain.
“That bastard! I’m going to kill him!”

She continues to grumble, until she sees a man in the distance.It’s a tough looking guy with a barren head in his mid 40s.

But soon, he suddenly opens his eyes wide.He sits up and looks around, finding himself in a rather spacious luxurious bed room. By the look of it, by the pink wardrobe, the shape of the dressing table, and the blanket currently covering him, it’s certainly a room for a girl.“Where am I? How did I get here?”He rubs the blanket on his knees. The legs are still heavy, but somehow, he can move them more freely than before.He uncovers the blanket, intending to leave the bed.

“Um, Sir!” Nancy comes to Oliver, trying to handle the situation. “Please, let me talk to him for a moment. I’ll come to you soon.”“No, you don’t have to,” Laura interferes. “We know that man well. There’s no need to talk to him. Just kick him out of this place.”“But…” Nancy looks so unsure with that idea.“Believe me! He is not one of your customers,” Laura continues. “One look is enough to tell that he is just a cheap country bumpkin. We just kicked him out of our house yesterday. And I am sure he is just looking for a place to rest by coming here pretending to be a customer.”Despite what Laura said, Nancy still approaches Thomas and treats him kindly.“Excuse me, sir! Did you know this house belongs to Saunders Property Trust?” she asks.“I know,” replies Thomas shortly.“We are holding an open house for business purposes. Although the house is open to the public, we expect only those who have serious interest in buying this house,” Nancy explains.Thomas glances back at Oliver,

Not to mention about Naomi’s beauty which is far surpassing hers, causing the naïve girl so awry for losing her man.“Oliver! You know her?” Sylvia inquires.Oliver is shaken from his anger, and immediately puts on an ignorant face before averting his face to his fiancée.“Not really,” he denies. “I just know her as a fellow business person.”“Oh, how cruel of you,” Naomi sulks childishly. “Didn’t you once whisper in my ear that you never tired of fantasizing about my beauty before going to bed? Well, I don’t mind if we never end up together. But how cruel, now you act like you don’t know me?”Sylvia glares her eyes straight at Oliver, causing Oliver so scared. And Naomi, she looks so amused, noticing that she has successfully sparked a conflict between them.“Is this the girl you try hook after the failure in seducing me?” she teases. “It really saddens me that you give up too soon!

He doesn’t know them too well, but he believes they had some business with his dad before.An awkward smile is the only thing he can give while receiving a long sermon from his father on the phone. He then takes a distance and continues the talk with his father away from those people.“What should I do now? Should I also buy this house for Joaquin Underwood for six million dollars?”[Son!

You're going to put me in a difficult position with Adam Saunders. You’ve turned this into a bad business because of your ignorance. Go back to her and accept all the conditions.

As if no longer having the strength to stand on two feet, Naomi lifelessly kneels down with a pitiful pale face. Her eyes are watery, and her two hands with trembling fingers covering her mouth.As an educated person, she knows so well that it’s already too late to save her father’s life. Not even the best doctor in the world can save Adam Saunders’ life.On the other hand, Mr. Chicote can no longer argue the two doctors anymore. He looks so stupid, gulping with a pale face, realizing how fuck up he is at the moment.“Now you realize how stupid you have been in my eyes?” Alfred, who has just come out of the isolation room, states coldly to Mr. Chicote’s face. “I don't care whether ghosts exist or not. But I can say for sure that you are just a swindler, taking advantage of other people's suffering to extort their money.”“Nonsense!” Mr. Chicote refutes. “She was the one who asked for my help, and I do what I can do based on my knowledge.”“Based on your knowledge?

Alfred looks so mad, but his eyes are red and sparkling with tears due to anguish and despair. And Mr. Chicote, like he doesn’t give a damn what causes Alfred’s sorrow, suddenly slaps him in the face and yells back.“Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist! It’s like your brain, no matter how stupid you are, you still have a brain even though you can’t see it. It’s either you are ignorant, or you know it but deliberately let the devil use you to lead people astray!”Alfred is stunned, his face looks baffled. Not because the word has succeeded in providing enlightenment, but because of the old man’s audacity in slapping him in front of other people.He grabs the man’s black robe with just his left hand and then pushes him hard against the wall, making the glass wall shake with it.The nurse tries to stop the fight, but Alfred ignores her and brings his face closer to Mr. Chicote.“How dare you slap my face?

Carefully, she starts tidying the bedroom without disrupting the arrangement of those strange objects. Until a few moments later, she feels a strange breezy softly blowing her beautiful hair.It could just be the wind coming out from the bathroom with an unclosed window. But she thinks it is some kind of bad premonition.Feeling eerie, she immediately gets out of the room while taking her phone out to make a call.[Immanuel Chicote here!]“Mr. Chicote! It’s me, Naomi Saunders!”[My child! How is your father’s situation?”“Um, could you come here, please? I don’t feel quite right about the situation in this house.”[Sure! I’ll be right there!]Not daring to be alone on that second floor, she hurries down to the kitchen to see the maids.“Matilda! Could you make lemonade tea for me?” She politely asks before taking a seat.“We've used all the lemons yesterday?” Matilda deplores. “It's something that Anastasia Nixon didn't like, and that Mr. Chicote used as a talisman to keep her away fro

After listening to Matilda's explanation, Naomi slowly turns her face to the direction where her father went. She no longer sees the car, but her face is now painted with worry.In the past few days, her father has often behaved strangely, always filled with excessive fear, worried about people who might be after his life.Adam even said that he was visited by Anastasia Nixon and her Chihuahua, both in his dreams and when he was conscious.And Naomi, who does believe in superstition, has also called a psychic to cleanse her house of all forms of negative energy. But it seems that wasn't enough.“Alfred! We need to call Mr. Immanuel Chicote back to cleanse my house.”Alfred is grimacing as soon as he hears what Naomi has just said. And of course, Naomi understands very well what his reaction means.“I know this sounds stupid to you,” Naomi continues impatiently. “But we have no other choice. I know for sure that my father is not crazy. Of all the hallucinations he has, he sees the ghost

The situation at the Saunders Properties Trust office is being made busy by Alfred. It’s about Naomi, who left the office without anyone knowing where she went. It’s been more than three hours, and she hasn’t come back.“How come no one knows? What are you guys doing here anyway?” He grunts.“Welcoming guests with greetings and a smile,” replies the receptionist.“Monitoring the people in this lobby,” says one of the security officers.Alfred squints at that man. “And you didn’t see her leaving?”“I did! But it’s not my place to question her, or even prevent her from leaving the office. She is the boss,” the security officer argues.“Oh, God! Don’t you even realize her situation?” Alfred deplores.All those employees can only show their oblivions. Alfred rubs his head in frustration, before coming back to the receptionist.“Have you tried to call her?” he asks.“I have! But it’s out of reach,” replies the female receptionist.“Call it again!” Alfred exclaims as he walks away. “Keep try

Feeling insulted, Alfred vents his anger by throwing a punch. Thomas evades it simply by taking his head away, and again, he responds to it with another slap.This situation continues to repeat, with Alfred continually trying to hit Thomas but never succeeding and always getting slapped in return.“Come on! Is this all you got?” Thomas taunts.Five minutes have past, and that tough looking face is now swollen on the left side. With both knees and hands on the ground, Alfred looks down with a frustrated face.“Is it the gun that you really want, or humiliation?” Thomas provokes coldly.But Alfred doesn't even dare to look back at Thomas anymore. It is a fair fight, one on one, with Thomas not letting anyone interfere with their affair. Yet, he really can’t do anything.Even with the anger filling his heart, he is now realizing how far the gap between him and Thomas is. This is the first time someone has made him so helpless.

- Two Hours Earlier, When Alfred Was Taking Erica to Visit Thomas -As before, Alfred's arrival at this dilapidated block is again greeted by several street thugs with unfriendly looks. At least, his car is no longer stopped by these thugs.It seems like they are already familiar with the car Alfred is driving, and they are just following with their BMXs and off road bikes.More than two dozen of them, and all of whom are holding weapons. Metal baseball clubs, big wrenches with some metal chains, wired wooden clubs, you name it. Some of them even have guns tucked into their waists.“Alfred! What are we doing in this place?” asks Erica, looking around with an awry face.“Didn’t you ask me to take you here?” Alfred replies rhetorically, still looking composed driving the car slowly.“What do you mean?” Erica shows her confusion.Alfred doesn’t say anymore. He simply stops the car on the side of the road, right in front of an old and humble apartment building.“This is where he lives,” ut

Some people might think that a woman’s mood can easily improve after a good night’s sleep. However, Naomi’s situation is different. Since ending her relationship with Thomas, she hasn’t been able to regain her usual self.Recently, she has been spending all her working hours inside her office. As she is engrossed with the amulet left by her late mother, a knock on the door suddenly interrupts her reverie.“Come in!”It turns out to be Erica, greeting spiritedly like always. “Yo, Naomi! Aren't you going out again today?”Naomi acts as if there’s nothing wrong. “Why? Is there something that I need to do outside?”Erica gives her a smile by shrugging a little, and approaches her. “Girl! You don't need to hide it from me. Everyone has noticed your changes.”“What changes?” Naomi looks baffled.“Come on! I admit he's a good guy. But you're Naomi Saunders. There are so many better men out there. You shouldn't be so fixated on him.”“Sigh! There’s nothing between us,” Naomi denies. “You shoul

Without saying much, Thomas decides to walk away. Naomi makes a pouting face, looking so dissatisfied.She is indeed upset. But deep down in her heart, she expects Thomas to defend himself, and tries to convince her. Carrying a feeling of disappointment, she gets into the car and starts it.Soon after that beetle car moves past the gate, Adam tilts his head a little like giving an order to Alfred. Knowing exactly what order Adam has given, Alfred hurries after Thomas.“Hey! You forgot something!”Thomas turns around, and instantly, a hard punch hits him in the face that causes him to staggering. As if that isn’t enough, Alfred punches him once more, sending him crashing on the ground.Adam approaches him composedly, and rummages all over Thomas’ body.
