Chapter 186
“Don’t rush. As long as Rafaci starts moving, we won’t be at such a disadvantage. Also, I suspect there’s something off about the Love Spell Sophia.
rrrrived”
“The Bennett family is in a precarious position right now. They want Sophia to work with Atlas to scherne against me and take the emerald pendant from me, but they’ve failed to consider involving anyone else to solve this issue”
Teople who give her Love Spells are naturally involved in black magic. But, for some reason, they haven’t acted to help the Bennett family. This suggests that they might only be in contact with Sophia, or perhaps… Odalys’s voice trailed off thoughtfully.
“If that’s the case, then Sophia is more complicated than she looks,” she muttered under her breath.
For years. Sophia has had a smooth ride in the entertainment industry, aided by the resources the Bennett family provided. Her popularity isn’t bad either. But since you returned to the Bennett family, her luck has begun to change. Percival said, his voice grim.
He hadn’t been concerned with Sophia or the Bennett family, but Odalys had pointed it out to him, so he looked into it and unexpectedly discovered a pattern.
“We’ll talk more about this later, Odalys said with a faraway look in her eyes.
She turned to look at the old man, who was standing there anxiously, his nervous energy practically vibrating off him. He froze when their eyes met, his panic palpable.
“I didn’t hear anything. I swear I didn’t hear anything, the old man blurted, shaking his head frantically.
The more you know, the quicker you die
The secrets of the wealthy are not meant for people like him to hear.
The fact that he wasn’t told to leave made him stand there, listening, growing more and more terrified by the second.
“It’s fine.” Odalys said with a sly smile. “After all, you can’t exactly spread what you’ve heard, can you?”
She had never been one to trust blindly. Her initial trust in him had been influenced by the talisman she had used to control him. If she ever discovered he was lying, she would have no hesitation in using more drastic measures.
So, for now, his silence would ensure his safety. If he spoke out, however, that would be the end for him.
***Take this phone. If anything comes up. I’ll contact you” Percival handed him a phone, his voice low and reassuring. The person threatening you won’t be able to touch your life“”
“Yes, sir, the old man said, hurriedly taking the phone.
He had expected Percival to come and take his life, but instead, this was the outcome.
The shock sent cold sweat down his back, his legs trembling as he stood frozen.
“Give me your hand,” Odalys suddenly y instructed
The old inan blinked in confusion, extending his hand in uncertainty. He watched as Odalys grasped it, her fingers tracing upward along his hand. He felt a strange force pulling at him.
A gran escaped the old man’s lips, pain shooting through his hand, making his face contort.
The sensation intensified, as if something deep within his muscles and tendons was being tugged, making his wrist jerk uncontrollably. When she released her grip, the pain seemed to sharpen.
“Oure the business is settled, your tendons will fully heal; Odalys whispered, her voice soft but firm.
“If you
you want it to heal completely, you’ll need

“My tendons… they seem to have healed?” he said, awe–struck.

Chapter 186
His hands had been ruined; he hadn’t been able to make clothes for years, and it had seemed like the end for him. Now, his hands were moving again. Could it be possible?
As he processed this, he looked up, only to see that Odalys and Percival had already walked away.
With a heavy heart, he fell to his knees with a loud thud, tears streaming down his face.
As Odalys and Percival walked under the moonlight, the road ahead was bathed in an ethereal glow. The cool night air carried a sense of calm, and for a moment, neither of them spoke. They just walked in silence.
“Do you believe what he said?” Odalys finally broke the quiet, her voice soft
“Everything matches what I’ve found out through my own investigation,” Percival replied, his tone distant but confident. “It’s credible. Also, he has
ible. A some connections with my grandfather. He wouldn’t have any reason to harm my father. Moreover, his family was practically wiped out–like a warning to him.”
That’s why I had people watching this village. I didn’t expect it to pay off after all these years, Percival continued coldly, his mind clearly still racing with questions.
Who were the people behind all of this? What was their endgame? Why had they interfered with the clothes, only to vanish afterward Percival thought.
“They re rushing to kill my father. It might have something to do with the poison in me. If my father dies and I also die, my grandfather will be left alone, and the Stewart family will fall into their hands: Percival’s voice grew colder, his resolve hardening
Odalys let out a small sigh. The Stewart family is rich and powerful, so it’s normal to be targeted”
There was a brief pause as she stretched lazily, her body relaxing. For some reason, just being with Percival made her feel like the tension that had been building up inside her all day was starting to dissipate..
“Normally, competition in business is one thing, but if they want my whole family dead, that’s a different level, Percival said, his voice low.
At that moment, he glanced at her with a look that suggested he was considering something.
“Sophia has been targeting you. Do you want me to have her dealt with?” he asked seriously.
Seeing how she had manipulated the situation on the variety show, falsely accusing Odalys and trying to frame her–it had crossed Percival’s line.
To him, Odalys was one of his own, a part of the Stewart family.
And Sophia, with her provocations, was challenging everything the Stewart family stood for. Everything she did only pushed them closer to the edge
“Not yet. Odalys replied, shaking her head Before, I got a piece of her hair and used a special method to see her past. When she was young, she had her skin scraped off, literally peeled back, and her face was completely changed.”
“There’s a form of black magic called soul–swapping. I suspect she might have gone through that.
“She had her face swapped, and that’s when the Bennett family took her in. After that, they abandoned me. I don’t know what their connection is to her, but the Bennett family is definitely after her fate. We need to investigate who was behind her facial transformation.” Odalys’s voice dropped lower, a dark note creeping into her words.
She hadn’t shared this with him before.
facial transformation?” Percival’s expression shifted, his eyebrows furrowing-
He had heard of strange things I
s happening in the world, but this was on another level of bizarre,
“Yes. After we finished the variety show, I killed the person pulling the strings behind Sophia. After that, she was affected, and her face began to clunge. When she got close to Finnian, she regained her original look.”
“Afterward, she used him for some sort of advantage. Finnian lost something, and Sophia gained her original appearance. It was a mutually beneficial relationship
Odalys paused, her eyes narrowing. “That’s why she gave Funian the Love Spell, to control him. Even though he’s regained his sanity, he’s still being manipulated by her”
Percival listened silently, processing everything she said. After a moment, he spoke, his voice edged with concern. “So, she used Finnian to get what she wanted, and now he’s under her control?”
