Chapter 123: Really Fed a Dog
Master Gordon, the geomancy master who served the Gray Group, was naturally powerful. However, at this moment, he wasn’t so confident. He reached out and took the black ash as he sniffed it with his nose.
He didn’t find anything wrong, but why did the talisman suddenly burn?
He looked at the four people and asked, “Are you still in pain?”
Titus held his chest and said, “Not only am I in pain, but it feels even worse.”
This so-called geomancy master was clearly a master of deception.
Harold also said, “The pain has doubled, and there’s an additional burning sensation.”
Simone must have done something to them. Not only could this master not solve the problem, but it seemed like he triggered something that made them feel even more pain.
Jodie and Freya cried out in pain, “It hurts. It hurts so much.”
Master Gordon was speechless. How could this be? According to reason, the talisman that turned into black ash should have served as a disaster prevention measure. How could it become even more painful? The most crucial thing was that he didn’t find any negative energy or anything similar in the four people.
He thought for a moment and said, “You must have been cursed. After I used my talisman to ward off evil spirits, it backfired. The person who cursed you is very powerful.”
Then, he continued, “I need to make some preparations before I can help you resolve it.” If he couldn’t solve it today, it would damage his reputation as a master.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Titus asked, “How long will it take?” He was now half-believing and half-doubting this old man.
Master Gordon said, “About an hour. I’ll call someone else to help.” Since he couldn’t figure out the situation of the four people, he planned to ask his senior for help.
When Titus heard that it would take an hour, he felt like he was going crazy. “It will take that long?”
Master Gordon sighed, “The curse on you is rare and mysterious, so it will take some extra time to prepare.”
Titus gasped and asked, “Master Gordon, can you help relieve the pain first?”
The previous pain was bearable, but now it was reaching its limit.
Master Gordon wanted to say that he wasn’t a doctor, so how could he help relieve the pain? But he held back. He had to protect his reputation as the geomancy master of the Gray Group, or else he would be in trouble.
After he thought for a moment, he handed Titus a bracelet that he was wearing. “Try holding onto this bracelet tightly.” This was a mystical tool given to him by his master, and it should have some effect.
Titus quickly took it and held it tightly. After a while, the pain did ease up quite a bit. He nodded and said, “This works.”
Although it still hurt, it was lighter than before.
Master Gordon let out a sigh of relief and showed a mysterious expression as he said, “This is certain.”
Upon seeing this, Harold asked, “Master, can you help us alleviate the pain as well?”
Master Gordon stiffened again as he didn’t have so many mystical tools. Thinking of Harold’s identity, he took off a jade pendant that hung around his neck and handed it to Harold as he said, “You can try this.”
Then he said to Jodie and Freya, “I only brought two magical artifacts today, so you two will have to endure for now.”
Jodie and Freya were speechless. They wanted to curse out loud. Especially Jodie, who thought that this master would help solve the problem. But now he seemed unreliable!
She was crying in pain, and he only gave something to Titus and Harold to alleviate the pain, but not to them. Tears kept flowing from her eyes. “But Master, I can’t bear the pain anymore.”
Master Gordon helplessly spread his hands. “I only have two magical artifacts on me. I can’t do anything else.” He suggested, “Why don’t you take turns using them?”
Jodie also realized that he was telling the truth.
With teary eyes, she looked pitifully at Titus and spoke softly, “Titus…”
Titus didn’t want to give the bracelet to Jodie. After he thought for a moment, he said, “Wait until I feel better, then I’ll give it to you.” As for when he would feel better, it was up to him to decide.
Jodie didn’t expect that Titus would ignore her pain. He promised to always protect and pamper her.
On top of being in pain, she felt an indescribable sense of grievance. She didn’t dare to be intimate with her brothers in front of Steven, so she reached out and tugged at Andrew’s clothes.
Andrew felt sorry for her when he saw her like this, so he reached out and poked Luca sitting next to him. The two of them exchanged glances and nodded at each other.
Gradually, Titus was sitting next to Luca, who suddenly hugged him.
Andrew quickly stood up and snatched the bracelet from Titus’s hand. Then he handed it to Jodie. He looked at Titus with a disapproving expression and said, “Titus, how could you be so unreasonable? You should always be considerate of your sister.”
Luca added, “Yeah, you shouldn’t bully your sister. It’s not right.”
Titus’s face darkened. He heard their words but couldn’t retort. Otherwise, he really wanted to beat them. Just wait and see!
As soon as she received the bracelet, Jodie immediately held it tightly in both hands. The pain did indeed decrease significantly. She hid behind Andrew and firmly refused to return the bracelet.
Andrew stood in front of Jodie in a protective stance. “Titus, don’t take your anger out on us. Go and look for the person who hit you.”
Luca added, “That’s right. We’re not your punching bags, Titus. If you’re a man, go find the person who hit you.”
Let’s see if you dare to go find Simone.
Titus was at a loss for words. This wasn’t his little brother but an enemy. He was targeting his own older brother so much just to protect his sister. He must be crazy.
As the pain in his body grew stronger, his mind became clearer. He couldn’t help but wonder if Simone felt the same way when she returned to the Gray Family. His gaze fell on Jodie, who was hiding, and his eyes grew colder.
Since they were young, he had adored Jodie. They would fulfill her every wish.
They even believed her when she privately claimed that Simone bullied her and tried to steal her belongings.
All for her, he had always targeted Simone, his own sister.
He even went as far as posting rumors online to slander Simone, and now, Jodie was acting innocent.
At this moment, Titus suddenly felt that all the kindness he had shown Jodie over the years had been in vain.
Suppressing the urge to snatch back the bracelet, he closed his eyes and endured the waves of pain.
In addition to being angry at Jodie, he was also angry at Simone.
His older sister was so ruthless. She had physically attacked them and resorted to such underhanded methods.
How could they have such a deep-seated grudge against each other? Seeing Jodie’s two older brothers willingly help her made him question everything.
