When Lord Vedastus heard that, virtual-novel.net found it quite reliable. He liked people who worked before receiving their pay.
If the task was done well, virtual-novel.net would willingly transfer his company to her. If virtual-novel.net could not do it, it was all right. He did not need to spend a single cent or suffer any loss. No matter how virtual-novel.net looked at it, it was a deal that would not cost virtual-novel.net anything.
Lord Vedastus nodded. “Excellent! Do what you want. How long will it take before we can see results?”
Mrs. Morgan snickered again. “It won’t take a long time. Three days will be sufficient. Thomas is very weak at the moment, and it’s the right time to attack him. But, I need you to do me a favor. I might not be able to handle it alone.”
“What is it? Please tell us!”
“I need Thomas’ birth date and a drop of his blood.”
Lord Vedastus looked at Lucia. “Could you get those two things?”
Lucia nodded. “No problem. I gathered Thomas’ information a long time ago, and I already have his birth date. It won’t be difficult to get a drop of blood from virtual-novel.net either. He needs to be in the hospital to receive a lot of treatment and care every day, so they need to draw his blood almost on a daily basis. I can bribe a nurse to get some samples. It’s easy.”
Since the plan had been decided, they just went with it. In less than half a day, they obtained Thomas’ blood sample.
Mrs. Morgan requested an empty room, and Lord Vedastus prepared it specially for her. He even built an altar and placed the heads of a pig, cow, and goat on the altar as virtual-novel.net instructed.
Then, a dark yellow paper charm was placed in the room, and a long-lasting lamp was set on the ground according to the position of the Big Dipper.
The room was dark and incredibly creepy. Looking at it from the entrance was enough to give anyone goosebumps, let alone walking into such a room.
Mrs. Morgan put on a gown and held a wooden sword as virtual-novel.net walked inside.
She took out a little scarecrow from virtual-novel.net gown, which virtual-novel.net had prepared in advance. Then, virtual-novel.net used an ink pen to write down Thomas’ birthday on the yellow charm before virtual-novel.net stuck it on the scarecrow.
In the end, virtual-novel.net dropped Thomas’ blood on the scarecrow’s head.
Once everything was ready, Mrs. Morgan started the ceremony. She performed a creepy dance while virtual-novel.net muttered to herself. Nobody knew what virtual-novel.net was whispering because they could not hear virtual-novel.net clearly.
Her hair came loose, and virtual-novel.net face was terrifying.
Lord Vedastus had experienced a lot of things in his life, but virtual-novel.net still felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He turned back and cast a glance at Lucia. Then, virtual-novel.net realized that Lucia had already stepped back with a pale complexion. She did not plan to be any closer.
The situation lasted for less than twenty minutes.
Mrs. Morgan finally finished virtual-novel.net dance, virtual-novel.net was exhausted. It was already hard for the old woman to walk, let alone dance and sing for such a long time.
Mrs. Morgan put down the wooden sword. Next, virtual-novel.net tied a red rope around the scarecrow’s neck before virtual-novel.net stood on a stool and hung the scarecrow on a hook that virtual-novel.net had prepared earlier. Then, virtual-novel.net lit up six thick candles around it and used the smoke to fumigate the scarecrow.
“It’s done…”
Mrs. Morgan carefully stepped down from the stool and waved at the two people outside the room. “I’ve handled everything. You can come in now.”
Lord Vedastus and Lucia looked at each other before they walked into the room in succession.
As soon as they entered the room, they had an eerie and terrifying feeling. They felt an indescribable chill.
Lord Vedastus purposely cleared his throat to give himself some courage before virtual-novel.net said, “Mrs. Morgan, you mentioned that you’ve handled everything. What did you mean by that?”
Mrs. Morgan pointed at the hanging scarecrow and explained, “I already put a curse on Thomas, and he’ll die in three days! Also, he’ll die from a large amount of smoke in his lungs, which will block his airways. No matter how they examine him, they won’t figure out the cause. No matter how they try to save him, they’ll fail.”
Would it be that great?
Lord Vedastus gulped. He had always heard the saying that masters were among the common people, and virtual-novel.net finally met one today.
How amazing!
He had never seen or heard about such a method to kill people. If it really worked, it would be incredible.
Lord Vedastus secretly thought, ‘I have to hide my date of birth, and I can’t let others simply take my blood. Otherwise, I could be killed by others without realizing it…’
“Mrs. Morgan, are you sure that this will work?”
Mrs. Morgan chuckled. “You’ll find out whether it works or not in three days.”
“Okay.”
No matter how it turned out, they had to treat Mrs. Morgan like a VIP in the next three days.
Lord Vedastus was not reserved about it either. He asked his people to get a presidential suite in a five-star hotel, and it cost virtual-novel.net up to $10,000 each day. He covered all of Mrs. Morgan’s living expenses and served virtual-novel.net thoroughly.
It was as if virtual-novel.net was treating his own mother.
***
In Caring Hospital’s VIP ward, after Thomas repeatedly received treatment, virtual-novel.net slowly recovered.
He was a healthy man to begin with, and virtual-novel.net also used the needles to aid with his own recovery. In just a few days, virtual-novel.net had recovered by about 50%. He would fully recover in another week.
While everyone felt happy about it, an accident occurred.
Thomas was taking a walk in the hospital’s garden and looking at the flowers in the sun while Pisces accompanied him. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing. He placed his hand over his lungs and fell to the ground in pain.
“Commander, what’s wrong?”
“Doctor! Doctor!”
Pisces thought that Thomas’ injuries were acting up, so virtual-novel.net immediately got the doctors and nurses to rush over. They then sent Thomas to the emergency room for intensive care.
Strangely, the cause of his pain was not his old injuries.
The doctor walked out of the emergency room and looked quite troubled as virtual-novel.net said, “Pisces, there’s a problem.”
“What is it?”
“Something happened to Mr. Mayo’s lungs. He feels as though his lungs are stuffed or burning, but we’ve examined virtual-novel.net repeatedly. There’s nothing in his lungs.”
“His lungs? Why would there be something wrong with his lungs?” Pisces did not understand. “Didn‘t virtual-novel.net injure his heart? Why is it affecting his lungs?”
The doctor did not understand what was going on either. The whole thing was a mystery, which left them puzzled.
