Kayson was surprised before he shook his head. “It’s yours. Consider an apology from Josiah.”Noella widened her eyes. “Do you know how much money is in here? Mine? Are you sure?”“I’m not in need of this petty amount.” Kayson nodded.He had billions of dollars and would be receiving $1,200,000,000 from Zeke and Arno tomorrow.“Did you just call $150,000,000 a petty amount!?” Noella was speechless, thinking Kayson might not understand how much it was.“It’s not a lot, but it’s not a little either.” Kayson smiled and went back to his room to go through the Titanium Leo-roar manual.Noella quickly asked, “Are you hungry? I can cook something up for you!”She still wanted to thank Kayson properly.“No. Eat something yourself if you’re hungry,” Kayson told her and eagerly closed the door to his room.It made Noella gnash her teeth in anger. “Tactless dude!”As Kayson read the manual, he tried directing his inner energy to his throat and felt a burning sensation there, as if a bal
Kayson nodded. “You’re right, Dr. Jamison. But what caused this driver’s death is only a tactic similar to hypnosis.“It’s not actual hypnosis per se. This sort of tactic could make the police helpless.”“I’d like to hear more about it,” Mia replied with a slight frown.Kayson shook his head with a smile. “This isn’t under the police’s authority.”Wallace asked, peeved, “Mr. Yarde, what’s the meaning of this?”Chase spoke up from the side. “What he means is that Admiralporium should handle this case because it’s gone past the scope of your duty.”“Mr. Yarde, you mean to say that a martial practitioner killed the deceased?” asked Mia.“Not killed, controlled,” Kayson corrected.Chase widened his eyes as he asked, “Psychological manipulation? This could only be done by pre-celestial fighters!”Wallace was taken aback. A pre-celestial fighter? That was a different story then!Mia was a little skeptical and voiced her doubts. “I’ve done the autopsy. The deceased is only a regular
Kayson placed a spirit charm on the deceased’s forehead and sat down cross-legged.Cool wind started blowing, causing the already chilly morgue to feel even colder.The deceased’s spirit appeared by the operation theater, but his gaze was empty without any focus.Kayson’s darksoul asked, “Who instructed you to cause the accident?”“I don’t know…” the spirit answered blankly.It did not exactly come as a surprise to Kayson. It seemed that the driver was also mentally controlled to have driven into Jeremy.“What did you see after running into Jeremy Tinsley?”“A man. Crew cut. Blue tank top. Very muscular. I was too panicky…”Kayson made him say what he saw as much as he could and sighed ten minutes later. “You’re innocent. Rest in peace. I’ll take revenge for you.”His darksoul returned to his body, and the spirit charm burned up on its own.When Kayson walked out of the morgue, the rest looked at him in unison. He asked, “Chief Turnbull, do you have a police sketch artist her
Since Kayson said that he could detain Ryker, who could come and go as he pleased, Chase left to make the arrangements immediately. There was no point in him lingering here as the driver’s case was already cleared.Shyla’s brows were scrunched up with a worried gaze. “But we still don’t know who’s trying to harm my dad…”Jeremy smiled. “They’ll attack again since I’m not dead. The more they try, the bigger the risk of exposing themselves.”He looked at Kayson. “Can I trouble you to stay and protect me for the time being, Kayson?”“Not exactly. I can’t stay here for long,” said Kayson.“I’d be in danger then?” Jeremy sighed.While they spoke, Kayson’s phone rang. It was Hugh.Hugh asked, “Kayson, why aren’t you back yet?”It was only then that Kayson remembered he had told Hugh that he was going to Eastriv and would return the next day. It had now been four or five days, and he had yet to make it back to the Wolfendens.“I’m in Skyspring, Grandpa Hugh. Got delayed by something.
Kayson had not minded it, but he frowned when he saw the same jade pendant Brandon Jaycox had around the young man’s neck.“Chief Turnbull, what did this guy do?” asked Kayson.Wallace was quick to answer, “The kid assaulted a girl who’s not even 20 years old yet. The girl didn’t consent to it and reported it to the police right after sobering up.”Shyla frowned. “Scums like this should be penalized with the heaviest punishment available.”“He’s a brazen one. What’s his background?” asked Kayson.Wallace started with a loud sigh before answering, “His father’s the chairman of a big company, and he does everything he wants just because he’s rich.“It’s not his first time here, and the girls would come and claim that it’s a misunderstanding not too long later while we’re still interrogating him.“The girls usually have the same explanation, claiming that they’re fighting as a couple and they’re simply accusing him out of impulse.”Shyla retorted, “And you all buy unbelievable rea
Kayson did not meet the girl who was assaulted but prescribed something for her, according to Wallace’s description.Mia took a glance and offered, “I’ll send the medicine over for you.”Kayson nodded. “Thank you, Dr. Jamison.”Mia did not say much. She wanted to see what Kayson was up to.…Wallace noticed that Easton looked a little dazed when he entered the room. The Soul-guiding curse did not fully influence the latter, but this was Kayson’s intentional doing.Easton sounded brazen. “Yo, Chief Turnbull, not planning to let me out yet?”Wallace kept a straight face. “Easton, you best tell me what you did last night, honestly. The girl you assaulted is now under our protection.“It’s impossible for your father to come in touch with her. We won’t let him settle this with money this time.”Easton thought about how it was a joke. Who said they were going to do anything to her? It would be the same doing it to her parents! He had money, and there was nothing money could not reso
However, it also indicated that he had absolute faith in Eden Joy.Kayson took a look at the time and said indifferently, “It’s almost time. I guess they are almost here.”Leonard chuckled coldly and said, “Young man, no one can save you now…” At that moment, Zeke and Arno came inside with stern expressions on their faces.Leonard froze for a moment as a hint of panic crossed his eyes.“Mr. Russell!” He called out to Zeke. Gone was the haughty man who looked down on Kayson.Zeke shot daggers at him before approaching Kayson.“Mr. Yarde, here is $1,200,000,000 for you.” Zeke’s attitude had completely changed today. There was less contempt in his eyes, and he became even more respectful of Kayson.Wallace and Leonard, who were standing at the side, were stunned when they heard the amount of money.Kayson took over the card and said, “It seems like the corruption in Eden Joy is far more serious than I imagined. I wonder how much you and your son have gained from it, Mr. Russel
When they were back in the Tinsley mansion, Kayson pulled a few charms out and inserted them into a few pouches.“Uncle Jeremy, these three pouches are for you three. Please keep them at your side at all times, even when you are sleeping.”Jeremy asked, “Kayson, what is this?”Kayson replied, “This is a protective charm. It can ward off evil energy as well as protect you from a mental attack or a curse.”After the driver was controlled by someone to kill himself, Kayson realized that he needed to give them something else to protect themselves.“I see.” Jeremy then stashed the pouch away carefully.He had also thought of the driver, and he knew that Kayson was protecting them.Shyla was no longer angry. She asked, “So, are you going to leave us alone after giving us these charms?”Kayson smiled. “Of course not. It’s just that I can’t stay by your side forever, and this charm can save your life when the situation calls for it.“However, if something happens and this charm is d
