After a moment, priests in uniform entered. A few of them waved their crosses around. Some even brought a grail filled with holy water, for Brayan to drink.A faint light could be seen on his forehead after that. He quickly regained his consciousness.Even so, the usually high and mighty Brayan was drenched in cold sweat. His entire body was shivering. It was clear just how much fear and pain he was dealing with.Amora was suddenly reminded of Harvey’s words.“He wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after three days.“After five days, he’d start having hallucinations during the day.“A week later, his limbs will be limp, as if he’s paralyzed.“A few weeks later, he’ll finally die of exhaustion.”Amora thought Harvey was just acting like a clown and said all that nonsense after his lies were exposed… She didn’t think that everything he said would be true!To her, geomancy arts were just things to fool the public.Her father’s condition was probably just a coincidence.However,
Charlize was disgusted.She was Amora’s best secretary, and a prideful woman to boot. In the business world, many heads of first and second-rated families would have to show her respect. This was her first time having to contact someone who fell out of power, yet she was promptly declined.‘Does Mandy think she’s a direct descendant of the Jean family?‘We gave her a chance to invite a con man, but she declined!‘Because of that, I had to come all the way here to such a rundown alleyway!‘This is just embarrassing!’Charlize became more enraged as she thought about it.She ignored Prince, and strutted into Fortune Hall with her guards in tow.Shay, who was cleaning the place when she saw them walk in, didn’t try to stop them. She also politely brought some tea for them. However, she used cheap tea leaves for the masses to maximize Fortune Hall’s profits. Charlize, who was used to eating lavishly, grew even more disdainful. She didn’t even bat an eye at Shay. She waved her
Charlize was infuriated to hear those words.‘I gave him a chance, but he doesn’t know how to cherish it!’She glared at Harvey, her face gloomy. “Enough pretending, Harvey!“Don’t you know that you’re blessed to have this kind of opportunity?!“If you miss it, you won’t get it again even after ten different lifetimes!“Do you know who Mr. Brayan is?! He’s the head of the Foster family—one of the top ten families!“He has influence all over the country! Maybe even the entire world!“It’s your honor to help him! Don’t you know that?“As long as you have a bit of use to him, your name will skyrocket! You’ll earn everyone’s acknowledgement and gain hefty resources!“Aside from that, you’ll get a reward worth eight figures!“Do you know how much money that is? Fifteen million dollars!”Charlize became more and more arrogant the more she spoke.“People shouldn’t protect their useless pride and dignity, and throw away their opportunity and money!“You should know better! Peopl
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Charlize took out her checkbook and wrote down a few numbers. Then, she slapped a check on the table.“Keep pretending! All you want is just some money! You act as if you’re some sort of saint!”Charlize laughed coldly.“Look here! 1.5 million! I don’t care if the tea set is real or not! I paid for it anyway!“Can we go now? Hurry it up! Don’t waste my time!“Don’t you know that every minute of my time is worth thousands of dollars?”As Amora’s best assistant, Charlize looked down on show-offs who thought of themselves highly the most.‘These people don’t know just what kind of disaster they’ll bring to themselves for showing off to the Foster family…‘Don’t they understand that making Mr. Brayan owe them would give them a chance to make their own wealthy family?‘No wonder they can only resort to being con men for the rest of their lives…’Charlize was filled with disdain toward Harvey and the others. Shay ran to Prince and the others, and sipped h
The men looked at each other for a moment. Then, a Westerner leading the group walked forward, prepared to slap Prince to the ground.Bam!Prince smacked the man down with his crutch without holding back. He then swung the crutch down again.Crack!A bone was snapped immediately.Since Harvey gave the order to break some legs, Prince naturally wouldn’t hold back.“Get him!”The remaining guards froze for a moment, then rushed with their fists.Even with his legs covered in plaster, Prince was still Quill’s son; why would he be afraid of a bunch of bodyguards in the first place?In under a minute, the men were all beaten down. They lay on the floor with their legs broken, wailing in pain.The last one standing frantically rushed backward; his entire body was shivering in fear even as he stood in front of Charlize.“You…”Charlize was bewildered.‘Even a cripple is this impressive?‘What a joke!‘He took down a dozen of my men with his crutch?‘Nobody would even believe m
Calling the cops was destined to be useless. The Foster family was the one who caused trouble in the first place, and yet, they were the ones demanding justice.When Soren got the call, he quickly hung up after haphazardly skimming past the subject.Charlize was so angry, she was on the verge of coughing up blood.She had no choice but to return to the Ostrane Five, shivering in fear. She kneeled with a horrible expression as she explained everything in detail to Amora.“That bastard doesn’t respect the family at all, milady!“Not only did he decline our kindness, but he even got his people to smash our cars and break our men’s legs!“He even told us that he’ll make us suffer if we don’t get out of the city in three days!”Naturally, Charlize wouldn’t expose herself for acting high and mighty. Instead, she put all the blame on Harvey.She believed Amora would take out Harvey in a fit of rage to quell her anger as well.Charlize was just a subordinate, but she wouldn’t allow he
Charlize was overjoyed; she believed she could regain her pride back through this. A man in his nightgown walked down the spiral staircase just as she was about to make the call. There were a few subordinates following him, but he was stubborn enough to walk on his own instead of relying on others.He was none other than the high and mighty head of the Foster family, Brayan.A man from the top-rated circle of the entire country would naturally have his own pride and dignity.“Father!” Amora rushed forward, and took his hand.Charlize and the others kneeled; they were shivering in fear, too afraid to make a single sound.Brayan sat casually in his chair, and took a sip of his black tea before finally speaking up.“It’d be embarrassing if we called the royal court for such a trivial matter.”Naturally, Brayan managed to keep himself under control with Mr. Davis’s help. He was holding a cross in his hand. For the time being, his expression was back to normal.“Father, I’m planni
While the Foster family pondered on whether they should wait for a few more days or not…Under the Indigo Mountain, an ancient manor beside the Hulroy Lake was brimming with lights. The place seemed to be destroyed after a huge battle; smoky trails could be seen all over.Looking closely, many bodyguards with firearms could be seen standing in the shadows of the building.The howling night winds made everyone shiver. In the deepest parts of the manor was an old-looking villa, decorated extravagantly on the inside.A fire burned brightly in a European-style fireplace.A massive round table was set in the middle of the hall. There were a few people leaning on a big, comfortable Italian couch. Blaine wasn’t present, but his associates were. They were all people who worked under Vaughn.Vaughn was playing with an ancient vase, making sounds of approval, as if he was interested in it. In front of him was none other than Nameless, sitting cross-legged, clad in a white suit.Two of
