"What's wrong with being a creep? A creep who doesn't want to recharge isn't worth the title." Timothy dropped his playful grin and said seriously, "Okay, I'm done messing around. What's the matter?"Yvonne frowned and sized him up. "There's something strange happening at my home. I need someone to check it out. Is this your area of expertise?"He observed her closely and noticed a strange emotion in her eyes. So, he said thoughtfully, "I didn't notice it before, but now I've got a pretty good idea of what's been bothering you."She frowned and eyed him suspiciously. "Why do you sound like a fraud? What did you see?"Timothy cleared his throat and said earnestly, "Have you been waking up between 3:00 am and 4:00 am? Do you feel anxious and out of breath?"Maybe you've also been feeling dizzy. And I'm guessing you've also had some health issues like missing your period for a couple of months and dealing with random illnesses?"Yvonne's face went through a series of emotions as she
The courtyard exuded timeless charm. Its meticulous design featured lush greenery and trees, creating a natural screen. Pavilions were added to the tranquil atmosphere to give the space an almost enchanted feel.Timothy immediately sensed that this place was extraordinary. As he took in the scene, he noticed the stone lions at the entrance and the dragon's blood tree in the courtyard, valued at around seven million dollars.His heart skipped a beat. It was exactly as he had suspected; this place was indeed a hidden gem. Living here would not only benefit his health but could also extend his lifespan. He glanced at Yvonne with renewed interest and realized her background must be just as impressive.On the contrary, she quietly observed him, and her heart skipped a beat. Given his shabby appearance, she expected him to be nervous, uneasy, or slightly intimidated by the luxurious surroundings.But she saw none of that in him. Instead, he appeared calm and indifferent. Her instincts
Timothy barely sustained any injuries in that battle while annihilating over 70 forces. No wonder his reputation abroad was so fearsome.Unfazed by the hostility, he finished his cigarette, discarded the butt, and stubbed it out with his shoe.He said coolly, "Let's cut to the chase. I'm busy and don't have time for this." As he spoke, he stretched lazily, and the atmosphere of hostility seemed to melt away instantly.Everyone in the villa was taken aback. Xavier's mouth twitched slightly and his expression showed a flicker of surprise. Yvonne leaned in to whisper something to him, and he nodded in response.Suddenly, he gave a hoarse laugh and turned to Timothy with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry for the earlier rudeness. Since you're busy, I'll keep it brief."He cleared his throat and continued with a serious expression. "Over the past few months, Yvonne and I have been in several accidents and sustained unexplained injuries. But that's not all. "I've also been plagued b
Xavier's piercing scream echoed through the villa.Yvonne's face turned pale as she urgently shouted, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and help him!"The bodyguards scrambled to move the chandelier out of the way.Xavier's legs were a bloody mess, with the skin torn and mangled. He cried out, "Yvonne, hurry up and bring that gentleman back."She hesitated and said, "But your legs…""I'm fine. Just bring him back now!"Without delay, Yvonne rushed out to the front yard.Timothy was strolling down the street with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He could hear the hurried footsteps approaching from behind."Sir, please wait!"He continued walking, seemingly oblivious to the voice.Yvonne gritted her teeth and fastened her pace, stopping in front of him. "I'm really sorry about earlier. I…"Timothy frowned. "Get out of my way."Her expression turned bitter. "Sir, we didn't mean to offend you. Please don't hold it against us. We'll add another 20 million to the pay
Timothy waved his hand and said, "Burn the chair."Xavier didn't hesitate and ordered, "Get some gasoline. Burn this chair to ashes."The bodyguards carried the black throne to the center of the courtyard, doused it with gasoline, and set it ablaze. The flames roared, and thick, black smoke billowed into the sky.Yvonne watched anxiously and bit her lip. "Sir, what's wrong with the chair?"Timothy, casually puffing on a cigarette, replied, "This chair is saturated with negative energy. It's likely been associated with several deaths and is affecting the environment and people's minds. "Given the gloomy atmosphere of this courtyard and the growing negative quantum energy, it's no wonder you've been experiencing misfortune."Yvonne's skepticism faded as she realized Timothy's insights were accurate. Although she had initially thought he was a scammer, his knowledge seemed genuine.As the chair burned to ashes, the remnants were handled as per Timothy's instructions. Some were bur
Yvonne let out a startled cry and immediately jumped to push Xavier down.Blood spurted out from the throat of one of the bodyguards. He had lost his life before he could even react!"Look out! Protect Mr. Sterling Senior!"She was the first to react to the danger. A group of bodyguards rushed over, scouring the surroundings in a panic. Timothy saw a figure appear atop the walls of the villa like a ghost in the darkness.The figure wore a black shirt and an ogre's mask over his face. A frightening visage in the dark of night.Xavier's pupils shrank as he shouted in shock, "You're the… the Demon!"The figure in black's gaze beneath the mask was cold. It was cold enough to make hell freeze over."Grandpa, who is this Demon?" Yvonne asked with a tremble in her voice.Xavier turned pale. His voice was hoarse with fear."Yvonne, once you get the chance later, run. Keep running and don't look back! I might not make it out alive today.""What?" Yvonne felt lightheaded. Mr. Sterlin
The ogre mask was dyed a horrifying blood red. A few bodyguards froze, before their severed heads were tossed up into the air.Their eyes were still wide in shock. They were slashed cleanly as blood poured from their bodies and heads rolled.Shouts of terror rang out. Some bodyguards tried to run, but how could they outrun the Demon?The Demon cut through the bodyguards like paper, scattered in the air.Without a moment to breathe, he wounded and mowed down dozens of bodyguards like a shredder.Red stained the courtyard. The air smelled putrid. The courtyard was a scene of carnage!Dozens of elite bodyguards that Xavier spent lots of money on were killed by the Demon within just five minutes!The entire courtyard was dead silent. Yvonne was already shocked to the point of fainting. Her stomach churned, and she threw up.It was like a scene from a horror movie was brought to life before her. Her psyche was shattered. Xavier stood to block Yvonne. He was trembling. His wrinkl
Timothy stood in the corner with a cigarette in his mouth; his shoulders slumped. He looked listless, like he had just woken up.The Demon's hand that held his blade stopped as he looked at Timothy's peculiar expression. He laughed darkly."Oh, there's still another insect around."Xavier opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Mr. Yeager, this has nothing to do with you! Run!"Yvonne shook her head tearfully toward Timothy. She tried to urge him to leave with her gaze.The Demon chuckled. "All of you will die tonight. Not even one is allowed to leave."Timothy chuckled loudly too. "Leave? Who said I'm leaving? Even if I was, I'd have to kill you before I go.""Kill me?" The Demon laughed with a mocking smile on his face. "A corpse is saying he can kill me? What gall!"Yvonne said tearfully, "Mr. Yeager, you're no match for this bastard! The old man wouldn't want you to die for us either! Run, Mr. Yeager!"Timothy continued to smoke with his hands in his pockets. He gave off an a
