“Don’t worry, Mr. Shelby. Get someone to throw it into the furnace of a steel mill. With its thousand-degree heat, no monster will be able to survive it.”

Clarence quickly grabbed Richard and stopped him from kneeling.

“Shelly, take this and have it melted in a steel mill’s furnace!” Richard hurriedly turned around.

“Yes, Mr. Shelby.”

Richard’s beautiful secretary was very nervous when she learned that the thurible used to hold human skulls.

Trembling, she carried it out of the office.

The moment the thurible left the office, Richard felt a pressure lift off him.

Clarence noticed that the speck of blood on Richard’s head was now about half its previous size.

However, there was still a section of it lingering between his eyebrows.

“Master Howard, what should I do next?” Richard was a little nervous.

Clarence said, “Don’t worry, I’ll write you a couple of talismans. Take them with you. It should keep you safe.”

The Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture and 720 Anatomy Acupoints in Clarence’s mind had medical techniques as well as some spiritual practices and magic texts for talismans.

Some of them were soothing talismans.

“Okay, Master Howard, what do you need?”

Richard nodded his head like a loyal lackey. Any outsider seeing this would have been shocked to death.

“Ordinary parchment paper and ink will do.”

“Alright, I’ll have someone bring some here right away.”

Parchment paper and ink were delivered to the office within several minutes of Richard’s request.

It was Clarence’s first time drawing a talisman, so he was a little unfamiliar, but managed to complete three talismans by copying down what he saw in his head.

He stacked the talismans together and handed them to Richard.

Richard wrapped them up in his handkerchief as if he had just received a precious treasure. He put it in his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief.

Clarence looked up and saw that the hint of blood on Richard’s brow had mostly disappeared, looking very faint now.

“Whew! I feel so relieved now. Thank you, Master Howard. Just tell me if there’s anything I can do for you in Mediterranean City, I won’t shrink away from any sacrifice!

“I have some connections in Mediterranean City, and quite a few other things at my disposal.” Richard solemnly promised. He wanted to give Clarence, his lifesaver, a proper thank you.

“Mr. Shelby, did you buy this thurible yourself?” Clarence frowned.

“Well…” Richard hedged. “My son-in-law gave it to me.”

“Mr. Shelby, I’m not trying to scare you, but… the giver might have had ulterior motives for the gift,” warned Clarence.

“Got it. I’ll be more mindful of accepting gifts in the future.”

Richard’s face grew gloomy, and he nodded gravely.

He only had one daughter, and she had gotten married five years ago. If anything happened to him, his company would naturally fall into the hands of his daughter and son-in-law.

Richard trusted his daughter, but not his son-in-law.

Just last month, his son-in-law was caught having an affair, Richard’s daughter catching him red-handed in bed with another woman. The two were planning to get a divorce.

If he died now, his son-in-law would still get… at least half of his massive fortune!

The thurible had been gifted to Richard by his son-in-law as an apology last month.

Richard could not help turning Clarence’s warning over and over in his mind. If it had not been for Clarence, he would… probably be dead by now!

Clarence examined Richard’s body again. He left after finding nothing else wrong with him.

After leaving Richard’s company building, Clarence called Miranda.

“Dear, are you off work? I can come and get you.”

“No thanks. I have something… uh, to do tonight!” Miranda’s tone was a little hesitant.

“Dear? What’s the matter? Is anything going on?” Clarence frowned slightly. He had a bad feeling about this.

Miranda’s face froze. She stopped herself from yelling ‘it’s none of your business!’ immediately and instead said, “One of the company’s loans went wrong, and I borrowed ten million from William yesterday. I’m dealing with it now.”

“A loan?”

“It’s none of your business. Go home yourself, I won’t be back for dinner. I have an appointment with a friend.” Miranda hung up.

Worried, Clarence drove to her office building.

After an hour-long wait, he finally saw her coming down. She had showered, changed her clothes, and put on elaborate makeup, stunning any passers-by that saw her.

Miranda did not see Clarence. She got into a taxi.

Clarence followed closely behind the taxi.

The taxi pulled up to a hotel, and Clarence parked his car to follow Miranda inside.

A few steps into the hotel, Clarence saw William walking over from the lobby, laughing and talking with Miranda. They looked very intimate with one another.

Then…

The two entered the elevator.

Clarence’s mind went blank at the sight of it.

‘Did Miranda come to the hotel to see William?’

‘The two of them…’

Clarence’s breathing grew rapid.
