He said with a faint smile, Madam, thank you, but I'm just a commoner. I wouldn't dare
try to be part of the Fairfax family. There are so many important people here, and the
inheritance belongs to them.
Of course, I can't avoid being vulgar. But how about this? If I can't cure the old man, I
won't expect anything. I'll turn around and leave.
As he spoke, he looked at the group who were mocking him and smiled before
continuing, but if I do cure him, please give Mia her share. How about that? When he said
this, everyone was stunned. The old man had a total of six children, and so Mia's share
was one-sixth of the entire family property.
After so many years of success, who knew how many properties the Fairfaxes had in
their name? Even one-sixth of their assets would be worth billions. The others sucked in
a breath of cold air. Mia's oldest brother said, impossible.
You're simply delusional. Mia was banished from the family years ago. How could she
have a share? Mom, you can't agree to this.
Keith smiled faintly, but the old woman said in a deep voice, are you all crazy? Isn't your
father's life worth a billion dollars? Keith, I agree to your terms. If you're that confident,
just do it. Mrs. Fairfax looked at her unconscious husband before turning to her oldest
son and saying, go and write a check.
If your father really does wake up, give the money to Mia immediately. Mia's brother
nodded and left right away. Keith smiled faintly and started to make his move.
He stretched out a finger and pressed it to the old man's wrist. Then his face darkened.
Everyone looked at him nervously, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
After a moment of silence, Keith skillfully rolled the old man's eyelids as if he had an
idea. He suddenly asked, how was Mr. Fairfax before? When did he get sick? The old
woman hurriedly said, my husband's always been healthy, but he suddenly got a strange
illness 10 days ago. The most esteemed doctors in the country have been at their wits
end trying to understand it.
Keith frowned when he heard that. Oh, what happened 10 days ago? The old woman
looked hesitant, but she replied. Everything was peaceful until about a month ago when
a batch of livestock suddenly died.
No matter how we look at it, we can't find the reason. My husband said there might be a curse on the family, so he invited a priest to bless the animals. The livestock recovered
and even now they're fine.
But the old man, he... As she spoke, she choked up again. Keith sighed and said, I don't
know much about curses, but according to TCM, Mr. Fairfax is possessed. He's
possessed? The family gasped when they heard this.
Mia's younger brother sneered and said, kid, you've taken his pulse and decided my old
man's possessed. Do you think you're some kind of witch doctor? This is garbage. Keith
didn't bother to even look at him.
He asked the old woman, do you know if you're cursed? Do you have any silver
acupuncture needles in the house? The old woman said immediately, yes, I'll send
someone to get them. A moment later, a set of silver needles was placed in front of
Keith. He took a deep breath and cut open the old man's finger.
What was shocking was that there wasn't a trace of blood on the wound. It was as if the
blood in the old man's body had frozen. Everyone's eyes widened.
Keith looked at his position and inserted three silver needles into three acupuncture
points. Then something creepy happened. The old man suddenly opened his mouth and
let out a miserable scream.
A cloud of black smoke came out of his mouth and morphed into the shape of a ghost's
head. What is this? The ghost head bared its teeth and the family flinched back in fear.
Keith was also shocked.
He shouted, evil spirit be gone. A flash of lightning flared from between Keith's eyebrows
and struck directly into the ghost's head. After a shrill scream, the spirit vanished into
thin air.
The old man's body heavily fell back onto the bed and a stream of black blood trickled
slowly from his fingertip. The entire room was dumbfounded. Keith had been right.
The old man had been possessed by an evil spirit. But what was even more frightening
was the bolt of lightning that had shot out from between Keith's brows, destroying the
ghost's face. Could this young man really be the legendary spirit master, possessing a
divine ability that could pierce through the heavens and earth? The family looked at
Keith in a new light and their eyes revealed a look of worship.
The people who had just been mocking Keith were now trembling all over. You've
shattered the Fairfax's hopes of mocking you. Attribute point plus one.
Mrs. Fairfax suddenly stood up. She was about to kneel down before Keith, but he quickly
stopped her. She said sincerely, Keith, please save my husband.
No matter what you ask of us, we will fulfill your request, please. Keith sighed and said,
just now I forced a trace of evil energy out of Mr. Fairfax's body using the TCM method.
But the old man's body is weak.
If I use the same method to undo the curse, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on. If I
want to completely eradicate the curse, I need to find the person who put it on him in
the first place. Mrs. Fairfax choked with sobs.
We don't know the spell. We don't know who cast it. Keith smiled kindly and said, the old
man's body is getting weaker and weaker.
He's been under this curse for at least a month. Didn't you say that a priest came to help
with the animals a month ago? Can't you ask this priest about it? At Keith's words, the
others came to a realization. Of course the priest was the main suspect.
Mrs. Fairfax said to her younger son, go get all the bodyguards in the house and go to
the chapel on the mountain to invite the priest here. Just say that I have something to
discuss with him. Her son nodded.
But just as he was about to leave, his wife suddenly said, I'll go too. She was about to
follow him. But before she could move, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of her.
She instinctively dodged and saw a coin fly past her head, shattering a crystal lamp. The
room fell silent as everyone was frozen to the spot in shock. Keith slowly took a few
steps forward and said with a faint smile, not bad to be able to avoid my coin.
You're not an ordinary person. The woman froze with a frightened expression on her
face. She stuttered.
What are you doing? Keith replied. According to forensic psychology, a criminal often
returns to the scene of the crime and only leaves after confirming that all the dust is
settled. We TCM practitioners have a technique that allows us to assess a person's
health with one look.
Your breathing is different from an ordinary person's. There's a faint, murderous aura
flowing between your eyebrows. I've long suspected you.
Your reaction speed just now was so fast. The lightness of your steps isn't something an
ordinary person can do. The Fairfax family's eyes were about to pop out.
Mia's younger brother said in horror, young man, my wife has never left my side. If she
were that powerful, I'd know about it. You must be mistaken.
His wife also stammered. What could someone like me do? You don't malign my good
name. Her reaction certainly looked like that of an ordinary woman.
The others watched in stunned silence, but Keith scoffed and kicked her without saying a
word. The force of a thousand pounds burst out. If anyone else were to be kicked with
such power, they might explode on the spot.
A fierce look flashed across the woman's eyes, and she dodged sideways to avoid the
kick. At the same time, her palm turned into a blade that slashed at Keith. ACTIVATE
HAMMERFIST PROFICIENCY.
RANGE PERCEPTION SKILL ACTIVATED. The two skills were instantly enhanced. In just a
few breaths time, the two of them had exchanged ten attacks, but Keith's basic
attributes were too high.
Under the suppression of his physical fitness, the woman was knocked to the ground. A
scream echoed through the room as black smoke began to pour from the woman's body.
In the next moment, she turned into a middle-aged man wearing a priest's robe.
Keith's sudden attack and the appearance of the demon happened in a split second. The
rest of the room was stunned by the scene in front of them. Father Connolly? Everyone
instantly retreated and looked at the priest, who'd fallen to the ground in horror.
Keith smiled faintly and said, You've committed a sin. Instead of fleeing into the forest,
you came here to watch the old man die. Your overconfidence was your downfall.
A vicious look appeared in the eyes of the priest, and Mia's younger brother suddenly
yelled, Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Your wife? The priest sneered and said, Your
wife was having an affair behind your back. Then I found out. I killed the pair of
adulterers.
What? You killed her? Mia's brother's eyes turned red. He wanted to attack the priest,
but he was hit by a coin. His hand flew backward.
Keith waved his hand to signal him to calm down. Then he looked at the priest and said,
Now that's come to this, you don't have to struggle for no reason. I'm curious, why would
you cast a curse on the old man? Father Connolly sneered and said, The hands of the
Farfax family are stained with blood.
If it weren't for the Farfaxes, my parents wouldn't have died a tragic death. So it was
revenge. Keith sneered when he heard this.
Your evil method of raising ghosts requires the sacrifices of living people to be effective.
Even if your parents died at Mr. Farfax's hand, it's still not enough to atone for your
crimes. Cut the crap.
Hurry up and undo it. Perhaps there is still a way to survive the curse. Hearing this, the
priest instinctively looked around and sneered.
