"That was just acting!" Wesley snapped, brushing himself off, his cheeks still burning.
Anthony, watching their exchange, raised an eyebrow. "Are you two… falling for each other because of the show?"
Wesley glared at him. "Like hell we are!"
He took a moment to regain his composure and turned to Diana, holding out his phone with a hopeful expression. "Z-God, could I have your contact information?"
"Hold on," Ben stepped in front of Diana, his expression protective. "Just because you’re my future brother-in-law doesn’t mean you can make moves on my sister. And besides, Diana is already pregnant. You don’t stand a chance!"
Wesley's eyes widened in shock. "Pregnant? Well… congratulations, Z-God."
He fidgeted, clearly flustered. "I’m sorry, I didn’t bring any gifts today…"
Diana smiled warmly. "No need for gifts. If you really admire me that much, how about giving me some respect and calling Ben your brother-in-law?"
Wesley was stu
“Check the nearby area for any suspicious caves.”He added, “Be careful and don’t wander too far. This deep in the forest, there could be dangerous animals.”The group nodded and dispersed to search the area.Before long, Xavier hurried back.“Boss, I found something.”John's eyes darkened slightly.He picked up his walkie-talkie and informed the others.Soon, everyone gathered with Xavier in front of a large cave.As they approached, a pungent smell hit them, reminiscent of herbs.Jackson grew excited.“Boss, I think this is it!”John's handsome face lit up with a hint of light in his eyes.He glanced around.“Where’s Mitbahl?”“Well... he went off in another direction to look.” Jackson took out his walkie-talkie. “Let me ask him.”No sooner had he spoken than an excited voice echoed.“Boss, I’m here!”John turned slightly and saw Mitbahl hurrying over, cradling so
Mitbahl hesitated for a while, then picked a slightly larger corpse, and carried it out excitedly.As soon as they stepped out of the cave, John stood to the side, his handsome face cold and indifferent.“Put it down.”“Huh?” Mitbahl was puzzled but obediently laid the corpse on the ground.Dr. Freud immediately stepped forward and examined the body carefully.Then he looked up. “Boss, this person’s fatal wound is a gunshot to the chest, but it looks like something drained their blood afterward, which is why they ended up like this.”As he spoke, Dr. Freud bent down and sniffed the body.“Also, the body was soaked in a special herb, preventing it from decomposing.”Jackson frowned. “Drained? That sounds creepy. Is this Hag a person or a ghost?”Xavier scoffed, “Boring.”Jackson looked confused. “What?”Mitbahl translated, “What my honey means is that this Hag is really boring for doing something so inexplic
The Hag's eyes widened as she stared intently at Ivana. "I remember you..."She sniffed the air around Ivana, her eyes narrowing. "Yes... it's you. Something's off about your scent. Have you been turned into a Voodoo Lwa?"Ivana's face showed a flicker of complex emotions. She nodded. "You remember me..."The Hag's expression darkened. "Where is your mother?""My mother... she's dead...""Dead?" The Hag's voice dripped with sarcasm. She lifted her head slightly and burst into eerie laughter.Her laughter, already disturbing, became even more chilling."Dead? Good, good... She deserved it. If she had left those men earlier, you wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation. She deserved it...""Men are all untrustworthy. They all deserve to die. Every single man on this earth deserves to die!"The Hag's voice grew louder and more agitated. Her already terrifying face twisted into a grotesque mask of anger as she turne
Ignoring Mitbahl, the Hag extended her hand, as thin and gnarled as a branch, and grasped Ivana's wrist. Mitbahl was about to shout, but then he saw the Hag inspecting her.The Hag's cloudy eyes flickered slightly. "It’s the Voodoo insect. Someone has cursed you with it, haven't they?"Mitbahl quickly responded, "Yes, yes! Elder, do you have any way to save her?"Seeing that the Hag seemed willing to help, Mitbahl's tone changed to one of respect. But to his surprise, the Hag abruptly released Ivana’s hand."Take her outside!" she commanded.Mitbahl was stunned. "Take her outside?""Don't let her die here and dirty my place!""Wow, that’s harsh!" Mitbahl exclaimed, jumping up and down. "You hate men, right? Ivana is a woman like you. There's no need to be so hostile."The Hag's face remained cold. "She is suffering because of her foolish mother. If her mother had taken her and fled, this tragedy wouldn't have happened..."
"I'm sorry," he said softly, feeling the pain of not being there with her."Why are you apologizing? You haven’t done anything wrong," Diana replied, her tone indulgent. "It's okay. You’ll be back soon, and then I’m going to tie you to the bed and do all the things I’ve been too shy to try.""Like what?" John asked, his voice gentle."Tying you up with your tie, maybe even using your belt... cough, cough, Jacob’s here. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.""Now I’m looking forward to it," John replied, his voice warm.After chatting for a while, John asked quietly, "Is Jacob still there?""Yes, he is.""Let me speak to him."Diana acknowledged and handed the phone to Jacob.Not long after, John heard Jacob's voice coming from the other end of the phone."John.""How has the little girl been doing lately?""Don't worry, Diana's condition is stable, and the baby is doing well too.""Good," J
Diana removed the tissue from her nose, and after confirming the bleeding had stopped, she shifted her position on the couch.She fixed her gaze on Jacob."I'm fine. Now that John has found that legendary doctor, my condition can be treated. We just need to wait for him to come back safely. Until then..." Diana lifted her gaze slightly, "as long as nothing major happens, there's no need to worry John.""But right now, no one can guarantee that you won't have more issues..." Jacob began."I'm fine at the moment," Diana interrupted, gently placing a hand on her belly. Her eyes softened instantly. "I know my own body better than anyone. Although things have been going downhill lately, it's not life-threatening."Jacob lowered his head, weighing his options. Finally, with great difficulty, he nodded."Alright, we'll do it your way," he said. "But John will need Dr. Myers to provide your recent medical reports...""That's easy. Just forge
“Mind your own business!” Misoup kicked at him, her expression fiery.Kirin quickly released her wrist, catching her ankle with one hand and swiftly tripping her other leg. Misoup, not one to go down easily, grabbed his collar and used the momentum to swing herself up, clinging to Kirin to avoid falling.Kirin, momentarily stunned, instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist to steady her. His hand, however, landed on something soft.For a split second, time seemed to freeze. Misoup’s body went rigid, hanging onto him like a lifeline. Their eyes locked in a moment of mutual shock.Kirin’s eyes darted down to where his hand rested – right on Misoup’s chest.Both of them stared, speechless, at the awkward position.Misoup’s face flushed a deep red as the realization hit her. “What the—”Kirin’s hand trembled as he quickly withdrew it, letting her down gently. Misoup, stunned by the unexpected contact, stood frozen in place, her face
Under the concerned gazes of everyone, Yosef suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed against the edge of the tub."Shit!"Kirin's expression changed, and he kicked open the door. A strong medicinal scent hit them, and they instinctively covered their noses and mouths. The fumes were toxic, and inhaling too much could lead to poisoning.Godber quickly moved over and pulled Yosef, who was drenched, out of the tub. Yosef was wearing only a towel around his waist, his upper body bare. Godber immediately noticed the unnatural heat radiating from Yosef's body and how his face was as pale as death, though his lips were unusually red.Patrick grabbed a robe and hurriedly draped it over Yosef. "Get Mr. Nelson to the bedroom and call Doctor Zhang immediately!"A subordinate nodded and rushed to make the call.Godber carried Yosef swiftly to the bedroom. After laying him on the bed, Patrick knelt beside it, anxiously calling Yosef's name.
