Eleanor’s cruel expression gave Ezra the chills. He thought that she might hesitate. He never thought

that she would want Dustin to experience excruciating pain from the beginning.

After all, Dustin did help her once. Wasn’t that too cruel?

When Ezra thought of what he had done before, he was a little frightened. It was lucky that he still had

the support of the Swanson family.

If his fate was in the hands of this crazy woman, he knew he’d end up with a horrible ending.

“Ezra, is there a problem?” Eleanor looked at him again with an innocent smile. She looked completely

different from the cruel and vengeful person a few moments ago.

“No, no problem at all!” Ezra laughed. This guy has it coming. He actually had the guts to upset my girl.

He must pay for it!”

“I knew it! You love me most!” Eleanor smiled sweetly. Then, she pointed at the green wooden

container and said, “Sir Crane, we’ll use the venomous thing in this. We must teach this goon a good

lesson.”

“You’ve paid for this service. Your wish is my command.” Without saying another word, Theodore

nodded in agreement.

They saw him cut out a corner of Dustin’s shirt and dripped a few drops of fresh blood on it before

chucking it into the green container.

Theodore then started chanting softly and acting in a secretive manner. After the charade, he suddenly

lifted the green cloth and called out firmly, “Go!”

At the moment when the green cloth was lifted, a venomous black insect escaped and flew out the door

very quickly.

“Alright, that’s it. We’ll know the results in an hour.” Theodore folded his sleeves and sat down again as

he started enjoying the light snack prepared.

“Thank you for your hard work, Sir Crane.” Ezra smiled. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, “Bring in

the wine!”

Soon, a sumptuous feast was served. An ornate wooden box was also placed on the table. When it

was opened, Theodore saw that it was filled with gold bars.

“Sir Crane, please accept my small token of appreciation.” Ezra nudged the wooden box filled with gold

bars forward.

“You’re most welcome. It’s my honor to have been of service.”

Theodore flashed a rare smile and graciously accepted the gold bars. Compared to cold, hard cash, he

preferred shiny and glittering objects.

“Sir Crane, let me give you a toast. Here’s to more successful collaborations between us.” Ezra poured

three glasses of wine for each of them. They drank every last drop after clinking glasses.

Very soon, the conversation started flowing, and they began to relax as they drank more wine. Ezra

was very interested in the occult, so he asked questions to learn more about it.

As he was just paid handsomely with gold bars, Theodore was more than happy to divulge his

knowledge.

After finding out more about the occult, Ezra found out that Theodore was from the Mystic Arts Order.

Occultism was actually just witchcraft. The only difference was that one sounded better than the other.

Ezra was engaged in an interesting conversation with Theodore. Eleanor was a little annoyed sitting

beside them because she felt neglected. After all, she wasn’t interested in their topic of conversation.

After the sumptuous feast, Eleanor asked impatiently, “Sir Crane, didn’t you say we would have results

within an hour? It’s already been an hour. Why haven’t we heard anything? Did the insect you released

fail?”

“Hmm?” Theodore stifled his smile when he heard that. “Why? Don’t you trust my abilities?”

“I’m just curious. I’m afraid that there could have been a mishap on its way.” Eleanor’s brow furrowed

slightly.

“What mishaps could there be? My venomous insect has been bred especially for this purpose. It’s

been trained well. There’s never been any mistakes. It could locate its targeted prey anywhere in the

world.” Theodore was very confident.

“If that’s the case, why hasn’t there been any news till now? How do you know if it worked?” Eleanor

asked again,
