Chapter 81 The Witch Doctor

Freya, Annie, and Frank were listening to the news intently. Suddenly, all three of them were struck by a similar thought almost simultaneously.

“Lucian, did Mathias show up at the Harrison family’s residence with all those gifts to apologize to you in an effort to avoid getting arrested?!”

Freya felt as though she had finally caught on to something even though she wasn’t sure what it was yet.

Meanwhile, Lucian was having a hard time trying to come up with a plausible explanation. After hearing Freya’s words, he quickly responded, “You’re right, Darling! The Lisbon family and Deputy Chief Gary Lynch have done countless dirty deeds and kept the public in the dark. Everything that Mathias did just now was to silence me.”

“Why would he need to silence you, though?” A deep frown creased Frank’s forehead as he asked.

“It’s because…”

After a short pause, Lucian replied, “It’s probably because it was improper conduct for them to forcibly detain me in the interrogation room. It would have been difficult for the Lisbon family to go into hiding if I had exposed their involvement in the incident. Moreover, I’ve heard that Chief Kane is about to retire soon. It’s likely he’s asked those from the Lisbon family to offer me an apology to keep the situation from going out of hand.”

“I see…”

Annie let out a sigh of relief. “We were lucky since Gary was exposed and apprehended. Otherwise, our family might have gotten into big trouble this time.”

Lucian just smiled wryly without making any further comments.

Freya had been staring at Lucian as she fell into deep thought.

Lucian seems to be able to provide some sort of solution to any crisis we’ve stumbled upon recently. What’s more, it almost feels like luck is miraculously on our side each time. I can’t help but replace it strange when this happens time and time again.Is Lucian merely an ordinary veteran?

Freya was finally feeling suspicious about Lucian’s profession.

“By the way, Mary said that the Gray family and the Big Five were planning to do something to get rid of you. Have you thought about what to do regarding that, Lucian?”

Freya continued in a serious tone, “Those are very powerful groups of people. You shouldn’t act on your impulse like you used to previously.”

“Don’t worry. I have it all figured out.”

An enigmatic smile flickered across Lucian’s face. “In another fifteen days, I’ll be moving my father’s remains to a new burial site. I’ll also take control over the Gray Group and the Big Five on that very day. Once I have them in my hands, I’ll merge all of the companies and start the Skyline Group. What do you think, Freya?”

“Lucian, stop sharing your daydreams with us.”

Annie gave him a sidelong glance. “You should put some serious thoughts into the countermeasures for this issue. I’m telling you. This isn’t a laughing matter. You can’t risk putting Fay and Minnie in danger again.”

“I know, Mom.” Lucian nodded firmly.

“So, what exactly are you planning to do?”

Freya couldn’t hold back from asking since she was feeling anxious about it.

Lucian paused for a while. Then, he said, “I can’t tell you right now. However, you’ll know very soon when I execute my plans on that day.”

Lucian had made the decision early on.

Fifteen days later, I’ll move Dad’s remains to the new burial site. Then, I’ll also make a public announcement and have everyone know that I am the Infernal War G od.Seven years ago, I joined the military after being cast out of the Gray family. Finally, after seven long years, I’ve returned to my wife and daughter as the formidable Infernal War G od. I want to keep the news as a surprise for Freya.

“What’s with the secrecy.. Fine! I won’t ask anymore since you won’t tell me.”

Freya rolled her eyes. “Also, I’m not going to the construction site tomorrow. Minnie is having her holidays as well. Do you want to visit Lillian?”

Freya and Lucian had talked about visiting Lucian’s mother in their free time a few days ago.

Lucian’s eyes lit up. He nodded vigorously. “Sure!”

At Grace General Hospital.

Dax had a worn, downcast expression as he sat inside the ward and watched his injured grandsons. He was confident that he would emerge victorious in his attempt to take the demolition project from Freya.

However, not only did Calvin and Felix end up sustaining severe leg injuries, but I also noticed that I had

been poisoned. I have to meet with Lucian one month later to beg for his help. Otherwise, I’ll probably die when my time runs out!

The thought of what Lucian and Freya had done to him made Dax feel more and more upset.

“Dax, I managed to get in touch with the witch doctor.”

Eleanor entered the ward and said smilingly, “The witch doctor said he could help with your condition.”

Then, Eleanor turned her gaze toward her grandsons. “Calvin. Felix. I’ve informed the witch doctor about your condition as well. He said that he could fix your legs too. I’m also taking you two to meet with him now.”

After they had taken care of the discharge procedure, the Harrison family members left the hospital and headed for the witch doctor’s place right away.

The witch doctor was staying in a quiet, secluded village in a rural area. The members of the Harrison family had to walk on foot in the dark for almost two hours to get to where he lived.

Soon enough, they arrived outside a small, creepy-looking house.

“Grandma, this is where the witch doctor lives?”

Nadine couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of the various types of insects found resting on the fence and the gate of the house.

“Mhm.” Eleanor wasn’t bothered in the slightest as she led her family members into the front yard.

“You’re here?”

An old man with gray hair sat in a chair under the shade in the front yard. He looked thin and feeble in a loose black robe. The old man was holding up his hand, and a huge, black centipede could be seen coiled around that hand.

Most of the Harrison family members were appalled by the sight of the centipede.

“Mr. Lee, I brought my husband with me. Could you take a look at his condition?” Eleanor walked up to the old man and asked respectfully.

“Mhm. Have him come closer to me.” Orion Lee nodded slowly.

After Dax had moved toward Orion’s side, the old man placed the centipede on Dax’s palm next.

Despite its large size, the centipede swiftly slipped into the opening of Dax’s sleeve and went out of sight.

Dax was completely taken aback. However, he managed to stay still as sweat beaded his forehead. He had a desperate look as he slowly directed his gaze at Eleanor.

Suddenly, Orion’s eyes bulged in mock astonishment.

“It’s a poison produced by the Ferguson family!”

Orion was visibly shaking all over due to his excitement. He gazed at Dax fervently, “I’ve not come across any poison made by the Ferguson family for many years now. Do you know the name of the person who’s poisoned you?”

“It was a man named Austin Ferguson,” Dax replied.

“It really is a poison made by the Ferguson family.” Orion recalled, “When the Ferguson family was wiped out seven years ago, I heard that one of their family members survived back then. Where is the man right now?”

“He’s in Sioux,” Dax said.

“Alright. Take me to Sioux, then.”

Orion even made a few calls to his disciples to have them travel to Sioux as well.

“Mr. Lee, do you happen to know Austin?” Eleanor asked.

A sinister grin played across Orion’s lips. “I don’t know him, but he has something that I’m interested in. The Ferguson family is well known in Vandergrift for their expertise in the studies of medicine and poison. After Austin’s father, Benjamin Ferguson, left the Ferguson family, he managed to make five drug formulas with exceptional healing properties and five extremely potent poison formulas. Sadly, it was these formulas that had caused the man’s demise eventually. Three of Benjamin’s poison formulas have been brought to light. There are two more formulas that remain unknown to us. It’s very likely Austin has the formulas.”

Just then, Eleanor reminded, “Mr. Lee, before we leave for Sioux, you should help cure my husband and my grandsons.”

“Of course!” Then, Orion made a whistling sound.

To everyone’s horror, the centipede crawled into Dax’s mouth and down his throat the next instant. Orion explained in an unhurried manner, “Don’t worry. My centipede has entered his body to absorb the poison. He’ll be cured once it’s done.”

Five minutes later, the centipede reemerged from Dax’s mouth when it was done absorbing the poison inside Dax’s body.

Then, Orion used his curse techniques to heal Calvin’s and Felix’s legs.

Eleanor and Dax thanked the old man profusely.

“It’s nothing.”

Orion stared intently at his centipede and grinned broadly. “It seems Austin knows how to use curses and venomous insects as well. My centipede detected and overpowered the bug that he had planted in your body. Well, I can’t wait to meet the young man soon! Hahaha!”
