Chapter 97 Austin Feels Touched

Lucian sent Minnie home and rushed to the Harrison family’s old residence.

When Freya saw Lucian, she approached him with Frank and Annie immediately.

“What happened?”

Lucian first observed all three of their conditions and was relieved to see that none of them was hurt. He was glad to see all of them safe and sound even if something terrible had happened.

“It’s not us. It’s Austin. He’s in trouble.” Freya answered.

Lucian felt anxious again and asked what happened.

Freya explained, “Dax found an experienced witch doctor through Eleanor’s father. He cured Dax’s poison and even healed Calvin and Felix’s legs. More importantly, they placed a curse on Austin and said his life is in their hands now. They made two requests and insisted you come here.”

“Let’s go inside and take a look.” Lucian nodded and brought all three of them into the living

room.

Austin was lying down on the sofa while eating some fruit happily. When he saw Lucian, he rushed to him and asked “Lucian, why are you here?”

“What’s going on?”

Lucian was worried and said, “I heard Freya say a curse was placed on you and your life is in their hands.”

“Not at all.”

Austin was relaxed and said, “Do you think they can take my life with their tricks?”

Orion was seated in the main seat. He wore a dark robe and had a creepy aura around him. There were two men and one woman with the same outfit standing beside him. They were Orion’s disciples, and they were witch doctors too.

Orion laughed and said, “Austin, stop pretending. I started as a witch doctor at the age of five. Do you know how important witchcraft is to us? Now that I’ve placed a curse on you, I can kill you whenever I want. Am I right?”

“Technically, you are right.” Austin agreed with Orion, but he seemed relaxed.

Freya, Frank, and Annie were very worried when they heard that.

“That’s right.” Orion said with a chuckle, “I came to Sioux with a very simple goal in mind. I want the remaining two poison formulas. Hand it over and I’ll spare your life.”

“One more thing, all of the project’s profit must be given to the Harrison family.” Dax stood up and spoke.

Orion shot Dax a glance before looking at Lucian. He asked, “You must be Dax’s son–in–law. If

you

don’t want Austin to die, just sign the contract and agree to give all the profit of the project to the Harrison family.”

Lucian glared at Orion angrily. He did not expect the Harrison family would try to get the project’s profit again after so long. He figured they must have had nothing better to do to have that idea.

“Brat, what are you looking at?” Dax shouted and said angrily, “Do you hear that? If you don’t want Austin to die, just give us all the profit.”

“Fine. We will give it to you.” Freya agreed without hesitation and said to Lucian, “Lucian, this is a matter of Austin’s life. We can’t see Austin get killed because of money.”

“That’s right. We must save Austin.” Frank and Annie nodded and agreed with Freya.

All of them see Austin as their savior. This happened because they offended the Harrison family. If Austin would die because of this, they would feel very guilty. They could give away all their assets let alone the project’s profit to save Austin.

“Uncle Frank. Aunt Annie. Ms. Freya.” Austin felt touched. He felt like crying. No one had treated him this well apart from his master since his parents‘ death.

“Austin, don’t worry. I will save you. Just give them the two poison formulas they want. Focus on staying alive.” Freya said seriously.

Austin nodded before shaking his head and said, “Ms. Freya, thank you for your kindness but there’s no need to worry. Although Orion placed a curse on me, my life is not in his hands. With a simple action, Orion’s curse will backfire instead.”

When Lucian heard that, he remembered what Austin told him yesterday. There was no need for him to be worried because Austin had the ability to counter Orion’s curse even though he was inexperienced.

“Fay. Mom. Dad. There’s no need to work. Austin will be fine.” Lucian said with a chuckle.

Orion and his disciples laughed out loud after hearing what Austin said. They thought Austin was joking. Orion was a powerful witch doctor, and Austin was just a beginner. His curse was no match for Orion’s so how would he be able to counter Orion’s curse?

The members of the Harrison family started to laugh with Orion and his disciples.

“Lucian, I don’t think you are planning to give us the profits of the project then.”

Dax scoffed and said, “Mr. Orion is a powerful witch doctor. He cured me of my poison and treated my two grandsons‘ legs. Someone like him can easily kill Austin. Are you saying that because you don’t want to give us the project?”

Lucian shrugged his shoulders and said, “If you insist, I don’t think there’s anything I can do.”

“Lucian, how could you?” Annie was not happy, she glared at Lucian and said, “Austin is Fay’s savior. Without him, Fay would still be sitting in a wheelchair. We must save Austin no matter what!”

Freya nodded as well, “Austin, just give them the profit of the project. Your life is more important than any amount of money. I’ll sign the contract with them. I don’t mind being a money–making machine for two years.”

“Ms. Freya, thank you.”

Austin bowed and thanked them sincerely. He said, “There’s no need for that. I’m not afraid of them.”

Austin was really angry. He glared at Orion and said, “Orion, I’m warning you. Don’t try to threaten Lucian and Ms. Freya. I don’t want to counter your curse. It’s a dirty move, but I won’t hesitate to use it if I’m backed into a corner.”

Orion crossed his arms and ignored Austin. He said, “Austin, I’ll say this. If you don’t give me the poison formula and project profits, you will die today. I’m giving you one minute to think about it. It’s foolish to sacrifice yourself for a bit of money. Don’t make the same mistake as your father, foolish young man.”

Orion was relaxed. Austin was just a weak witch doctor to him. Orion could easily get rid of him with a snap of his fingers. If Austin would not comply, he would be awaiting his death.

“Foolish? No one is more foolish than you in this world. Orion, it’s all over for you.” Austin sighed and tapped twice on his jade pendant.

Everyone laughed when they saw what Austin was doing. He looked like a clown to them. They thought Austin could not be matched against Orion in terms of witchcraft and he was only digging his own grave. Orion thought so too. He thought Austin was only pretending since he already placed a curse on him.

“You are still too inexperienced to challenge my master. Brat, we will spare you if you hand over the formula.”

“That’s right. My master’s curse was so complicated that you could not even comprehend.”

“He can crush you like an ant.”

While Orion’s two disciples were speaking, Orion’s face went pale, and he started coughing out blood. He fell to the ground on his knees after letting out a scream.
