Master Gordon, the geomancy master serving the Gray Group, possessed natural power. However, at this moment, his confidence wavered. He reached out and took the black ash, sniffing it cautiously. He found nothing amiss, so why did the talisman suddenly ignite? He looked at the four individuals and inquired, "Are you still experiencing pain?" Titus clutched his chest and replied, "Not only am I still in pain, but it has worsened." This so-called geomancy master was clearly a master of deception. Harold chimed in, "The pain has intensified, and there's an additional burning sensation." Simone must have done something to them. Not only was this master unable to solve the problem, but it seemed that he had triggered something that caused even more pain. Jodie and Freya cried out in agony, "It hurts. It hurts so much." Master Gordon was speechless. How could this be? Logically, the talisman turning into black ash should have served as a preventive measure against disaster. How could it have caused even more pain? Moreover, he didn't detect any negative energy or anything similar in the four individuals. He pondered for a moment and stated, "You must have been cursed. After I used my talisman to ward off evil spirits, it backfired. The person who cursed you is very powerful." Then, he continued, "I need to make some preparations before I can help you resolve it." If he couldn't solve it today, it would tarnish his reputation as a master. Titus asked, "How long will it take?" He now harbored both belief and doubt towards this old man. Master Gordon replied, "About an hour. I'll call someone else to assist." Since he couldn't discern the situation of the four individuals, he planned to seek help from his senior. Upon hearing that it would take an hour, Titus felt as if he were going insane. "It will take that long?" Master Gordon sighed. "The curse upon you is rare and mysterious, so it will take some additional time to prepare." Titus gasped and inquired, "Master Gordon, can you help alleviate the pain first?" The previous pain was bearable, but now it was reaching its limit. Master Gordon wanted to say that he wasn't a doctor, so how could he help alleviate the pain? But he held back. He had to protect his reputation as the geomancy master of the Gray Group, or else he would be in trouble. After contemplating for a moment, he handed Titus a bracelet that he was wearing. "Try holding onto this bracelet tightly." This was a mystical tool bestowed upon him by his master, and it should have some suppressing effect. Titus quickly took it and gripped it tightly. After a while, the pain did ease up quite a bit. He nodded and said, "This works." Although it still hurt, it was less severe than before. Master Gordon breathed a sigh of relief and wore a mysterious expression as he stated, "This is certain." Observing this, Harold asked, "Master, can you help alleviate our pain as well?" Master Gordon stiffened once again, as he didn't possess so many mystical tools. Considering Harold's identity, he removed a jade pendant hanging around his neck and handed it to Harold, saying, "You can try this." Then, he said to Jodie and Freya, "I only brought two magical artifacts today, so the two of you will have to endure for now."Jodie and Freya were rendered speechless. They wanted to curse out loud. Especially Jodie, who believed that this master would help resolve the problem. But now he seemed unreliable! She cried in pain, and he only provided something to Titus and Harold to alleviate their pain, but not to them. Tears continued to flow from her eyes. "But Master, I can't bear the pain any longer." Master Gordon helplessly spread his hands. "I only have two magical artifacts on me. I can't do anything." He suggested, "Why don't you take turns using them?" Jodie also realized that he was telling the truth. With teary eyes, she looked pitifully at Titus and softly spoke, "Titus." Titus didn't want to give the bracelet to Jodie. After contemplating for a moment, he replied, "Wait until I feel better, then I'll give it to you." As for when he would feel better, it was up to him to decide.Jodie didn't expect that Titus would disregard her pain. He had promised to always protect and pamper her. What a liar. In addition to the pain, she felt an indescribable sense of grievance. She didn't dare to be too intimate with her brothers in front of Steven, so she reached out and tugged at Andrew's clothes beside her. Andrew felt sorry for her when he saw her in this state, so he reached out and nudged Luca, who was sitting next to him. The two of them exchanged glances and nodded at each other. Coincidentally, Titus was seated next to Luca, who suddenly embraced him. Andrew swiftly stood up and snatched the bracelet from Titus' hand. He then handed it to Jodie, looking at Titus with disapproval and saying, "Titus, how could you be so unreasonable? Jo is your sister; you should consider her feelings." Luca added, "Yeah, Titus, as her brother, you shouldn't always bully your sister. It's not right."As soon as the bracelet was taken away, the pain instantly surged back. Hearing the words of his two foolish brothers, Titus was in too much pain to retaliate. Otherwise, he truly wanted to lash out at them. He glared at the two with a sinister gaze and warned, "You two are really something. Just wait and see." Upon receiving the bracelet, Jodie immediately clutched it tightly in both hands. The pain did indeed decrease significantly. She hid behind Andrew and adamantly refused to return the bracelet. Andrew stood in front of Jodie protectively. "Titus, don't take your anger out on us. Go and find the person who attacked you." Luca chimed in, "That's right. We're not your punching bags, Titus. If you're a man, go find the person who attacked you." Let's see if Titus dares to confront Simone. Titus was at a loss for words. This wasn't his little brother; this was an enemy. He was targeting his own older brother so fiercely just to protect his sister. He must be insane.As the pain in his body intensified, his mind grew clearer. He couldn't help but wonder if Simone felt the same way when she returned to the Gray Family. His gaze fell upon Jodie, who was hiding, and his eyes grew colder. Since they were young, he had adored Jodie. They would fulfill her every wish. They even believed her when she privately claimed that Simone bullied her and tried to steal her belongings. All for her, he had always targeted Simone, his own sister. He even went so far as to post rumors online to defame Simone, and now, Jodie was feigning innocence and making their younger brothers take the blame for stealing her bracelet in front of everyone. In this moment, Titus suddenly felt that all the kindness he had shown Jodie over the years had been in vain. As he suppressed the urge to snatch back the prayer beads, he closed his eyes and endured the waves of pain. Not only was he angry at Jodie, but he was also angry at Simone. His own sister was so heartless. She had physically attacked them and resorted to such deceitful tactics. Did they have such a deep-rooted grudge against each other? Seeing Jodie's two older brothers willingly exchange the beads, Freya felt a pang of envy. She looked at Harold with anticipation, and her eyes were filled with a tender vulnerability. Harold held the jade pendant and naturally noticed Freya's gaze. However, he didn't give her the jade pendant. Instead, he followed Titus' lead and closed his eyes, pretending to rest. He disliked women who pretended to be weak and helpless, just like a morning glory flower. How could he give her the jade pendant?If it were Gwen, it would be a different story.
