Chapter 439
Howard’s fare handened for a moment
“I may be old, but I still have plenty of years left to live,” he said. “Trouble comes from the mouth. Phoebe, you should think twice before speaking.”
As long as I could continue absorbing other people’s luck
k and circulating it into my lifespan, I could outlive this wreshed Phoebe he thought.
Phoebe shrugged. “If you have to drain others‘ luck to prolong your life, then I suppose you do have a few more days ahead of you. Bu really think you can escape the punishment of the natural law?”
Having caused so much harm to countless families and people, Howard’s retribution would be inevitable.
But… Do you
Howard’s expression darkened. “Thorbe, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I did nothing bad, and I fear nothing, especially not the
retribution”
At that moment, he was certain Phoebe knew what he had done, and that was why she was being so provocative
What puzzled him, however, was why Phoebe was so blunt about it.
If it were him, he would have feigned ignorance, danced around the issue, and waited for the right moment to strike.
But since Phoebe already knew and had guessed what he did and that he was the one using her as a pawn, he couldn’t afford to let her off the hook
Young people are always so impulsive, he thought.
If Phoebe knew what he was thinking, she would have rolled her eyes and spat.
I was not like if she hadn’t figured all of this out, he might have let her go.
Now that
that she was determined to confront him and had the strength to fight back, why hold back her tongue!
Phoche dropped her smile and said. “Mr. Falke, you’re truly something else. If you want to deceive others, you first have to deceive yourself. You really are an expert at lying”
Then she said. “Enough with the nonsense. Let’s get back to the point. You want to help Cyril with the venomous parasite, and you demand a treasure like the Energy Stone as payment. But how can you be trusted! You carry a token from that Great Warlock, making it easy for you to lure ou: the venomous parasite. But no one could ensure if you’ll do something to Cyril again and cause trouble in the future?”
quite a lot to answer for when it comes to the transfer of this
She gave him a meaningful Jook, adding, “After all, you and your apprentice have quit venomous parasite onto Cyril”
Having already for the mask off their conversation, Phoebe didn’t feel the need to hold back
anymore.
By revealing she knew his true identity, she was only trying to irritate him and upset his carefully laid plans.
With someone like Howard, though he wished that she could die, he wouldn’t do it immediately
After all, people like him who valued longevity were always cautious and fearful of death.
But he couldn’t allow Phoebe to become too arrogant, or it would only hurt his plans.
Has only option now was to rely on that Great Warlock to deal with her
Phoebe’s seemingly arrogant and impulsive behavior was, in fact, digging the hole that would trap Howard.
When the Great Warlock arrived, it was still uncertain who the real target would be
Howard was er again enraged by Phoebe’s words.
For the first time ju many years, far had been so consistently humiliated in public.
His face darkened. “Nonsense, I don’t kun any Great Warlock. What collision are you talking about?”
He glaredat hier, his voice cold. “Phoebe, if you keep talking no
nonsense, I won’t be su
polite.”
Phoebe crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, her expression lunglay. “What are you going to do? Do you think I’m afraid of you! And you’re the president of the Honoscope Association, while that Great Warlock is the representative of Relands‘ metaphysics practitioners. And you’re telling me you don’t know raili orber? Don’t you think that sounds radio talents? You’re really his conijerlent as a c
Howard was at a loss for words. Masebe was tritaluly skilled at choosing her words to provoke.
He just wanted to deny colluding with the Great Warlock.
Chapter #19
He was about to explain when Phoebe pulled out a couple of pictures from her phone…
These were taken when she investigated Howard earlier.
“And you say you don’t know this person? Then who is the person you’re talking to? Look, isn’t this a photo of you, as a representative, attending the Global Warlock Exchange and sitting with that Great Warlock? Although you’re already a Carlim Peritume and might look down on ordinary people, you can’t treat everyone here like fools Phoebe said.
As expected, ber
er words stined unease among the Willis fan
family.
They quickly took her phone to check, and sure enough, the photo on the screen showed Howard sitting with the Great Warlock, deep in conversation, with an introduction attached
The fact that Howard claimed not to know the man only made it seem like he was trying to hide something
What really surprised the Willis family, though, was that they hadn’t connected the venomous parasite transfer on Cyril to Howard before.
That realtration shifted the way they looked at him–suddenly, something felt off
Howard hadn’t expected Phoebe to dig up photos as evidence.
When he saw the change in the Willis family’s expressions, his anger flared.
The Energy Stone was crucial to him, and Phoebe must have deliberately sabotaged his plans,
“How can you be sure the venomous parasite came from that Great Warlock With Relands‘ offerings involved, I’d be careful about what you say,” he
Phoebe snorted. “You’re really running out of time, aren’t you? Getting old and muddleheaded. The Voodoo Warlock captured by the Special Force has already been confirmed as this Great Warlock’s disciple. He even confessed that the venomous parasite was given to him by his master. So, what else do you have to say in your defensel
Howard was at a loss for words. “You”
He’d almost forgotten that Phoebe had joined the Special Force,
Her sharp tongue was a real challenge to deal with–and she was incredibly cunning.
Moreover, how could he not be provoked when
en she casually mentioned longevity without a hint of hesitation?
“You have a preconceived misunderstanding of me, and I don’t want to get entangled with you any further,” he said.
He then scanned the Willis family and asked, “Now, I just need to know–has the venomous parasite in Cyril still needed to be dealt with?”
Phoebe’s sharp tongue left him unable to talk his way out of the situation.
It seemed he’d have to strike a deal with the Willis family after all.
Hugite and Angela both turned to Phoebe simultaneously Theebs, what do you think?
Even Tristram and Samantha were waiting for her response.
Lydia observed this and said. “This is a matter for the Willis family. Why are you asking Phoebe?”
She couldn’t help but wonder, What kind of spell has Phoebe cast over the Willis family? Why do they listen to her about everything?
Hughie raised an eyebrow, “No one thinks you’re dumb if you stay quiet.
Then, turning to Phoebe, he added, “Just ignore her”
ydia seethed with anger, but no one paid her any mind.
Phorlar sided lightly and said, “In that case, le definitely can’t be trusted to solve it. There must be some hidden agenda behind Howard’s actions. Letting him deal with Cyril’s venomous parasite would only harm Cynl®
The Willis family seened in believe Phoebe’s words more than Howard’s.
They turned to him, saying “Mr. Falke, we’re sorry, but it’s better not to proceed with th
Howard’s expression darkened further
“You all can think it over,” he replied coldly. “But if you mis
the venomous parasite issue today,”
if you miss this chance, I won’t be coming back to eliminate the venomous parasite in Cyril”
He stressed again. “Phoebe’s power is considerable now, but she can’t simply eliminate the parasite without something special to draw it out.” 12/3

Chapter 439
If it weren’t for the Energy Stone, he wouldn’t even waste his time speaking to them
But the more he insisted, the more the Willis family grew suspicious of him.
They began to feel that Howard’s eagerness to help Cyril suggested ulterior motives
However. His words left them hesitant.
Hughie looked at Phoebe once more. “Pheebs, what do you think?”
