by the potential backlash,
“Odalys’s tone was calm yet piercing as she continued, unfazed by
The woman muttered incoherently, her demeanor teetering on hysteria. “How could this be?”
She refused to accept the grim reality. Someone she once trusted and even saw as a benefactor was
was now revealed to be the very person harming her
child
“Impossible! You’re lying! My brother–in–law would never harm me or my son! He gave us money! He paid my son’s medical expenses!” The woman yelled hysterically at the camera, her voice full of despair.
Odalys responded coldly. That money was a curse. He used it to “buy your son’s life. And you used that same money for your son’s treatment. You don’t have to believe me.
“But if you don’t act soon, your son won’t survive three days from the night you accepted his so–called gift.”
Odalys paused before continuing. “If you want to save your son, return the items he gave you immediately. Place them in his living room and set them prominently in the center. Leave a clear sign that you’ve refused his ‘offering“,”
“The woman let out a piercing scream and flung her phone to the ground, disconnecting the call
The woman disappeared from the camera as her phone fell, Odalys fell silent, and the fans in the live broadcast room also fell silent. Some sympathized with the woman, and some thought she deserved it
Odalys tried to help her, but she ref
refused to believe it.
“Suddenly, the livestream chimed with the connection of the next viewer.
A stern face appeared on the camera. The old man looked to be about 80 years old, with sharp, piercing eyes. He was wearing casual sportswear, but it couldn’t hide the aura of dominance emanating from him.
“Hello, Ms. Stone. The old man greeted her.
“The chat froze momentarily. The viewers were curious, sensing this old man was rich and intimidating.
“Hi” Odalys glanced at him.
Then she took her phone and sent a
a message
The old man looked at her on the screen. His demeanor was calm yet tinged with curiosity, as though testing the waters.
“What do you want to ask?” Odalys smiled faintly.
She stared at
the anani
man in the camera and saw him frown, obviously not liking her smiling at
at him
Tve heard you’re remarkably skilled at fortune–telling, a true seer. I thought I’d indulge in the trend and have you read my fortune. Tell me, will my business endeavors today be succesful?” the old man said politely while drinking a cup of coffee
The watch on his wrist was a Rolex, a new model worth 1.5 million dollars.
Although he was drinking, his eyes were glancing sideways, observing the situation outside.
“You can’t leave,” Odalys simply said,
The old man’s face darkened as he listened. He slammed his cup heavily onto the table, locking eyes with her in what seemed like an invisible standoff. After a long pause, he finally leaned back in his chuir.
The old man said, “It seems that your fortune–telling isn’t as impressive as they claim. I just watched you earlier. You seemed so confident with the first viewer, but now you’ve hit a wall with me”
He sneered slightly before continuing. “I’m afraid Uais is where your act falls apart. Today, in my case.
Before he could finish, Odalys interrupted, her voice cool. “It seems you’re quite bold. You know the authorities are currently cracking down on smuggling and drug operations, don’t you?”

She continued. “You think testing the waters in my livestream is a good idea? Do you believe the police can’t catch you? Or do yo you’re already at the docks and your ship is ready to sail, you’ll be long gone before they arrive?”
The viewers gasped in shock.
What’s going on? Is this guy a drug dealer!]
[She said he’s at the docks? I live near the docks. Should I check it out?]
Is this guy provoking the authorities live on stream? Police, are you watching this?]
The stream’s 50 million viewers now focused intently on the old man on their screens
The
moment Odalys stopped speaking, the old man lowered his cup and eyed her with suspicion.
“His calm facade cracked. He instinctively looked out of frame, his movements betraying a growing unease. Panicking, he reached to end the call.
“His fingers jabbed at the screen repeatedly. However, no matter how much he tried, the connection wouldn’t disconnect.
“Cut the internet! Now!” he barked.
He called someone offscreen. As he spoke, he tried to stand up, but he found his body seemed glued to the chair. With great effort, he struggled to get up.
“Boss, we can’t shut it off?” someone nearby replied.
“The old man grabbed his phone in desperation, attempting to smash it, but it slipped from his hand and clattered back onto the table. He reached for it again, but his movements were labored, sweat pouring down his face from the effort
Then, he groaned in pain.
He reached for his waist and was about to speak when he heard sirens in the distance.
“Oh no! Get the boat ready. The old man panicked
He shouted urgently, and the people around him also panicked. They could faintly hear footsteps approaching, many people running, and even the sound of gunshots.
The old man struggled to get up, but his waist was in excruciating pain, and it felt like he was p
paralyzed, unable to leave the chair.
At that moment, the old man looked at Odalys with fear in his eyes. On the screen, he saw her stand up, grab a bottle of mineral water, unscrew the cap, and take a sip.
“Didn’t you want to expose me! Too bad. I told you wouldn’t get away. If you chin on her hand and watching his futile struggles.
The old man glared at her furiously.
had left earlier, you might’ve actually escaped,” she said, resting her
“Impossiblet How could someone so young be this powerful? The true masters are all in Southeast Pathil! There’s no way anyone here in the country could be this skilled! You’re just acting!” he bellowed, unwilling to accept his defeat.
“Hefore he could say inore, heavy footsteps echoed closer.
With a loud bang, one of h
his henchmen was kicked through the door, collapsing at the old man’s feet.
The rest of the crew, who had been trying to escape, were driven back into the room by armed officers.
“Mr. Jacobson, fancy meeting you again. The last time you escaped was 20 years ago I didn’t expect to run Lee’s voice came from the other end of the video
Seeing the armed police, the old man’s face drained of color as be slumped back in his chair.
t to run into you
you again after your plastic surgery.
“Lee stepped forward, handcuffed the old man, and effortlessly lifted him. As he was being lifted, the old man’s mind went blank
Just now, he had struggled to couldn’t get up, but now the restraints on his body seemed to have disappeared.

At that moment, he felt a pang of regret. He glared at Odalys as he said, “Did you do something to me? Is that why I couldn’t get up earlier?”
“Thanks,” Lee said, turning toward Odalys on the other end of the livestream.
“The moment the old man connected with her, she discreetly sent a message to Lee, who immediately mobilized a nearby team to raid the
location
A manhunt that had lasted twenty years ended without resistance, thanks to her intervention.
Odalys smiled but said nothing. Lee reached out and ended the video call.
[Wait, that’s Officer Hersey! He’s in charge of so many recent high–profile cases. I’ve seen him on the news!]
[This is insane! I just witnessed a live drug bust!]
[The police just confirmed it–this guy was a wanted drug dealer!]
