Phoebe looked at Soren. “Was there anything odd about his attitude toward your
Soren thought, and answered, “I don’t know if it’s my imagination. But when I stared at the side of his face and he noticed, I had a feeling that his gaze was….. complicated.
“It seems like he’s looking at some defective product. He wants to destroy it but can’t. At that time, I also had a creepy feeling.”
Phoebe said. “I don’t think that’s your imagination. He must have realizeil you noticed something when you stared at his face. While you were still unconscious. I also guessed he might be the masteymind?
Phoebe then told him about the venomous parasites. “That’s why I think he might be impatient. He took the initiative to appear because he feared of being exposed”
Soren pondered and said, “When we saw him, we were told he had just come out of seclusion.
“Then, according to our equipment, his aura was chaotic, and his life force seemed weak. Could it be because of this that he became anxious?”
Phoebe thought of how a person’s luck and lifespan got reduced after suffering from a backlash. “Could it be that he didn’t have much lifespan left?”
She nodded. “That’s probably the reason. Let’s wait for the Willis family’s feedback.”
Soren and Jamiel nodded. “Okay”
The mastermind’s identity was still shrouded, so they had to confirm it before reponing it. The three of them sat and analyzed while looking at the surveillance footage on the computer. However, there was no suspicious movement in the surveillance footage.
About half an hour later, Phoebe’s phone rang. She took it and saw that it was Hughie. She immediately picked up. “Uncle, why are you looking for
Hughie knew she was playing stupid.
He said, “Pheebs, Lydia has invited the president of the Horoscope Association to observe Cyril. He said he could remove the venomous parasite. But we don’t quite understand his method, so we want you to come and help take a look.
“Do you have time to come to the hospital?”
Phoebe said, “If there’s time, I’ll be right there. It would be strange if she weren’t proactive about it.
After hanging up. Phoebe said to Soren, “Rest well. Leave the rest to us
Soren nodded. “Okay”
“Although that person’s aura is chaotic, he’s still strong. I felt like an ant before him and feared of being crushed. So be careful.”
Ever since he was born, Soren had a sixth sense that exceeded that of a normal person. It)

Phoebe smiled and said. “Thank you for the reminder. I’ll be careful”
Howard must be cunning. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to set up so many traps. However, she should be able to beat him easily.
After ascending to the Ascendance realm, one might have become stronger, but still could not do anything so freely in the mortal world. Otherwise, they would be punished by the natural law. This was possibly one of the reasons why Howard could not directly kill Soren.
The hospital was near Phoebe’s place, and she drove there herself. On the way, her phone rang again. Phoebe answered the call with Bluetooth.
Elliot’s voice came from the
e other end. “Phoebe, I have something to tell you. Are you available to chat?”
Phoebe said. “Go ahead. I’m listening”

“Because the rise and fall of aristocratic families are happening frequently, no one realized this pattern.
Elliot paused before saying, “I also discovered that there have been cases of real and fake children, adopted children, or the head of the family having an affair.
Elliot was still shocked with his discovery. “Why don’t I send you all the information I’ve found so you can observe it yourself?”
Elliot wouldn’t have thought someone had been orchestrating these downfalls if he did not investigate carefully. If Phoebe had not discovered something off from Sienna and Jenkins Group’s worshiper, their fate might have been doomed.
The Jenkins family would most likely follow in the footsteps of those fallen aristocratic families. His sons were all going to have their luck sucked away and be the unlucky one. If it were him, he might become muddle–headed and do something to bankrupt the Jenkins Group

Phoebe was not surprised by this result. “Alright, send it to my email. It seemed like Howard had relied on luck absorption to survive.
Phoebe asked again. “Did you know that your wife invited Mr. Falke of the Horoscope Association to remove the venomous parasite from
Elliot was stunned. “I didn’t know about this. When did she get to know Mr. Falke of the Horoscope Association? Do you think Sienna introduced him!
Phoebe nodded, “I think Sienna had introduced him. The chairman might be Sienna’s father. That’s why you should contact Mr. Hill and stay alert.”
Elliot was shocked. “Mr. Falke is the person behind this mess? But on second thought, he does have the strength. I heard he has been the president for a hundred years, and the timing is right.
“No wonder he’s still so energetic despite being over a hundred years old. It turns out that he specializes in absorbing other people’s luck to extend his lifespan!”
Phoebe said. “He’s not just a hundred years old. He’s at least two hundred years old,”
Elliot was shocked. “He’s that old! No wonder he can be so cunning
“We can’t be sure that the person is him. I’ll to the hospital to confirm it. Anyway, you and Mr. Hill should be careful. You must stay alert if your wife suddenly asks you to do something.”
Lydia had been in a fit of anger and Sienna could easily manipulate her to do something rash. Hence, Elliot no longer had any hope for his wife. “Okay, we’ll be careful.
“Phoebe, you must be careful too. If he was too powerful, don’t fight him head–on. Wait for us to back you up.” He still cared about his daughter’s safety
However,
Phoebe did not give him any face. “If I were to lose head–on, wouldn’t you guys be sending yourselves to death?
Elliot choked and said helplessly, Tm just concerned about you, okay?”
Phoebe smiled. “Thank you for your concern, but I don’t need it.” After hearing her father’s concern, she felt awkward instead of touched.
Elliot was silent. This wa
was his first experience facing his daughter’s sharp tongue.
