Haven't you figured it out? If I die, the old man will be buried with me. I advise you to let
me go. If not, I'll let him die right now.
His words were a blatant threat, and every expression in the room became troubled. The
old man had become Father Connolly's hostage. If the priest died, the old man would not
survive either.
But if they let him live, they'd be letting a killer walk free. If this man could cast a spell
once, he'd be able to cast it a second time. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused
on Mrs. Farfax, waiting for her final decision.
The old woman was silent for a long time before she said, I can guarantee your safety,
but you have to wait for the old man to wake up. The priest said with a sneer, if he
wakes up, won't I be dead for sure? Let me go first. After that, I'll call you and tell you
how to expel the evil poison from his body.
The priest pointed at Keith and said, and tell him to leave Hessville until he's gone. I
won't remove the curse. Everyone looked at Keith, who shrugged and said indifferently,
Father Connolly, you think too highly of yourself.
I only said all that just now, so you give us the solution. I didn't expect you to be so
stupid, but you actually did it. He looked at a crystal deer figurine on the desk and slowly
walked over to it.
The others were confused, but Father Connolly's eyes widened in fear. Just now, he'd
instinctively glanced over at it. Could it be that Keith had caught this brief look? The
priest felt a chill run down his spine.
What kind of person was this young man? Not only was he able to subdue him, but he
also had such keen observation abilities. Under everyone's gaze, Keith looked at the
crystal deer and flicked his finger. A cracking sound was heard as a coin shattered the
figurine to pieces.
A gust of cold wind rushed into the room, followed by the sound of eerie laughter. Poof!
Keith let out a snort, lightning flashed across his body, and a cloud of black mist in front
of him disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Mr. Fairfax coughed up a mouthful
of black blood.
It was a shocking scene. Father Connolly looked at Keith in disbelief and said, with a
trembling voice, "'You! Who are you?' Keith replied indifferently, "'Someone you can't
afford to offend!' He flicked his finger again, and the mirror on the other side of the room
shattered into pieces. The same terrifying sound and ghost appeared, but under Keith's
lightning, these malevolent spirits were instantly destroyed." Next, Keith used his instant
memorization and optimal logic, and with just a glance from Father Connolly, he
shattered everything else in the room that contained evil spirits.
Mr. Fairfax coughed up even more black blood. When the last flowerpot was shattered,
the old man let out a heavy breath, and the blood rushed back into his face. "'He saved
him?' The family was dumbfounded.
They weren't fools. The old man's breathing had been so weak, but now it had become
even again. No matter how they looked at it, Mr. Fairfax's condition was greatly
improved.
Just then, Father Connolly suddenly emitted a plume of green smoke. He let out a blood-
curdling scream and disappeared. This time, even Keith was stunned.
He couldn't explain the reason behind this strange situation, but as if something was
pulling him, he instinctively looked at a corner of the room. The woman in red, who had
stunned him earlier, was watching him with a faint smile, but just like before, in the blink
of an eye, she'd returned to her normal appearance. Keith felt as if he were dreaming.
"'Just what is this?' He frowned, but at this moment, old Mr. Fairfax woke up. Although he
was awake, he still couldn't speak. Keith took his pulse and said, with a faint smile, "'He'll
be fine now.
I'll prescribe a tonic for you to give him. He'll recover in less than a month.'" Mia and her
mother breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but the rest of the family could
barely hide their disappointment. You fulfilled the wish of Mia and her mother for Mr.
Fairfax to recover Wish Value Plus One.
You shattered the wish of everyone else to divide the inheritance. Attribute Point Plus
One. A little while later in the living room, Mrs. Fairfax handed a check to Keith with a
smile.
"'Keith, this is the number that we agreed on earlier?' Keith was slightly stunned when he
heard that. He didn't really expect her to pay. The old lady laughed and said, "'Actually,
my husband already prepared this portion for his daughter a long time ago.
Giving it to her now is the same as giving it to her later.'" As she spoke, she looked at
Mia and said, "'Mia, although it's a little late to say it now, this money is your dowry from
your father and me.'" Mia's eyes welled up as she shook her head and said, "'Mom, I
have money.'" Before she finished speaking, Keith smiled and said, "'This is a little bit of
goodwill from your parents. If you don't accept it, they'll feel uneasy.'" Mia had already
listened to Keith's every word. When she heard him, she took the check from Keith,
nodded and put it in her purse.
Mrs. Fairfax smiled and nodded to her eldest son beside her. He took out an envelope
and passed it to the old woman. "'Keith, there's a check for $30 million in here.
Consider it a gift from the Fairfax family. Don't even think of refusing it.'" "'Thirty million dollars? It would be an insult if he refused.'" Keith took the envelope gently and put it in
his pocket. He laughed and said, "'Thank you very much.'" Mia rolled her eyes in
annoyance and said, "'Keith, can't you be a little more polite?' Keith smiled and said,
"'I'm a rough person.
I don't do modest.'" "'You're not serious.' Mia smiled and shook her head. "'Mom, this kid
has a naughty streak. Don't mind him.'" The old woman smiled happily.
"'Young people should be like this, Keith. Next time, come with Olivia. Our two families
haven't interacted for so many years.
It's time to build bridges.'" Keith smiled faintly but Mia beamed when she heard that. If
the two families could recover their relationship, it would be a strong alliance. It would
be beneficial to everyone.
"'You've fulfilled Mrs. Fairfax's wish to reward you. Wish value, plus one. Current
progress, five of ten.'" He'd earned $30 million, just like that.
This trip had certainly not been in vain. Outside, it was dark already. On a bench in the
gardens, Mia took the billion-dollar check from her purse and handed it to Keith.
She said seriously, "'Keith, so many things have happened. I don't even know how to
thank you. I don't need this money.
I'm giving it to you. I hope it will help your career in the future.'" Was she giving him a
billion dollars, just like that? Keith's mouth dropped open. If it was anyone else, he would
definitely refuse without hesitation.
But Mia was different. She was a system connection character that had reached the
maximum value of intimacy. According to the system's description, she was bound to
Keith and her entire body and mind belonged to him.
It wouldn't make much of a difference if the billion dollars belonged to Mia or him. After
hesitating for a moment, he took the check and said with a smile, "'This money will be
left with me for now. If you want to use it, you can come and get it at any time.'" Mia
smiled and shook her head.
Suddenly, she blushed and said, "'My rooms are next door. If you've nothing to do
tonight, you can come to my room.'" The hint was a little obvious. The system indicated
that once intimacy reached the maximum value, the other party would take the initiative
to be intimate.
And now, a beauty like Mia had actually taken the initiative to bring up this matter. Keith
touched his nose before suddenly leaning close to her ear and saying softly, "'Right. Last
time, there were a few acupuncture points that I missed.
There's no one around, so why don't we try now?' Mia's face immediately turned red and
she said shyly, "'You're being annoying. I'm going to ignore you.'" She covered her hot
cheeks and quickly walked towards the house. "'You've shattered Mia's wish to be with
you tonight.
Attribute point plus one.'" Keith laughed and walked around the gardens before he also
went back to his room to rest. It was late at night and it was dead silent. Keith, who was
sleeping, seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up.
He saw a red figure flash outside the window and disappear into the darkness in the
blink of an eye. Keith frowned. He put on his clothes and jumped out of the window as
well.
After a few leaps, he disappeared without a trace. A moment later, he emerged in an
open space deep in the mountains. Keith narrowed his eyes and scanned his
surroundings.
Suddenly, the system's voice sounded from the bottom of his heart. "'Range perception
skill activated.'" Without even thinking, he immediately retreated. A red figure appeared
where he'd just been standing.
It was the woman in red who had stunned him during the day. The young woman
laughed lightly when her attack missed. Suddenly, her figure blurred and she
disappeared from where she stood.
In the next moment, three flying daggers shot out like lightning. They were extremely
tricky and they practically sealed off all of Keith's escape routes. "'Windwalker skill
activated.'" The moment the skill was activated, Keith almost teleported away, dodging
the fatal attack of the throwing knives in a split second.
But at that moment, the strange woman appeared behind him again and grabbed at his
back. "'Hammer fist proficiency activated.'" Keith shifted his center of gravity, then
turned and threw out a punch at full speed. The woman's attack had missed again, but
after a shout, she leaped into a close combat fight with Keith.
Their fists and palms collided. In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged nearly a
hundred moves, but neither victory nor defeat could be determined. Two fists collided.
They both took a few steps back, their eyes widening in disbelief. The woman in red was
the first to speak. "'What are ye?' Keith laughed and replied, "'Why, I could ask the same
of you.'" "'Meh.' The woman in red giggled.
"'Erin A., the monster you're talking about.'" As she spoke, her eyes turned scarlet and a
terrifying light circulated in her eyes. Her entire aura changed and a terrifying expression
contorted her face. Keith saw a furry tail emerge behind her.
It was a red fox tail. "'Fox demon?' Keith was startled. He took another step back and
said, "'Are there really demons in this world?' The woman in red asked in surprise.
"'You don't know about us. What about ye?' A puzzled expression appeared on Keith's
face, and this expression was reflected in the eyes of the fox demon. She was stunned
for a moment.
Then she chuckled and said, "'Sir, you don't know anything. A man has the same level of
life as me, but
