After Jane left with her group, Zac observed her closely and warned, "It seems like she holds a lot of animosity towards you. Be cautious." Simone acknowledged Zac's sensitivity and replied, "I will." She reminded him, "You should also be careful. If you happen to encounter her, avoid any one-on-one contact." Jane must have many secrets, and she was even more enigmatic than Jodie. Zac smiled and assured, "Alright, I'll make sure to keep my distance from her." He added with a hint of pride, "And I have the talisman you gave me, so I'm not afraid of any strange things she might try." Simone was undoubtedly more powerful than that unsightly woman.Simone chuckled lightly and remarked, "It seems like you have a lot of confidence in me." Zac naturally replied, "Of course." As they continued their conversation, they ascended the stairs and returned to their respective rooms. Once back in her room, Simone removed her coat and examined the arm that Jane had grabbed. She noticed a small red dot, almost resembling a newly formed mole, which was difficult to spot unless observed closely. Simone sneered. Jane was truly cunning. With that grab just now, she had attempted to implant a curse into her. Specifically, it was a curse that utilized negative energy to cultivate parasitic eggs. Once inside someone's body, the eggs would feed on their blood to hatch.Then, they would spread throughout the person's organs, infecting them with negative energy. The infected person's organs would gradually deteriorate. When they realized something was amiss and sought medical attention, they would only discover that their body was in critical condition, afflicted with an incurable disease. The ultimate outcome would inevitably be organ failure, leading to death. The days leading up to death would also be excruciatingly painful. After the person died, the curse would perish as well due to lack of nourishment. And because it was cultivated using negative energy, it would be instantly consumed by backlash and turn to ashes. This way, no one would suspect foul play. This curse was classified as a form of witchcraft and was prohibited by the Geomancy Association and specialized departments. It was also challenging to guard against. Ordinary people or geomancers with low cultivation would not even be aware if they were infected. After all, it was quite simple to target someone. As long as there was physical contact, the eggs could be squeezed into the person's body. Once in contact with a person, the eggs would instantly penetrate the body of the infected person through their clothes. However, cultivating this kind of curse was very difficult, so the chances of encountering it were very low. Simone sensed it when Jane pinched her arm. She also had a pretty good idea of what it was. She had a method to neutralize it, so she didn't show any unusual reaction at the time. She intentionally allowed the other person to succeed with their move. Otherwise, she could have easily avoided it. Mainly, she wanted to see what technique the other person was employing against her. But she underestimated how ruthless Jane could be. This Jane was too malicious; not only did she disrupt her plan, but she also sought to harm her directly. Simone retrieved a specially made incense from her luggage. She lit the incense and placed it under her arm. After a while, a black, sesame-sized larva fell out of the red dot on Simone's arm.She then drew a counter-talisman and burned it. After the talisman burned out, a wisp of smoke enveloped the larva and flew towards the door. It crawled out through the crack in the door and floated into a room downstairs, slipping through the crack in the door. And it landed on a pillow on a large bed, but it was so small that it went unnoticed. When Simone grabbed Jane earlier, she infused a strand of negative energy into her. This was the only way to effectively counter the talisman. This way, the unhatched larva that she forced out could follow the trail of negative energy and locate Jane's whereabouts. This thing wasn't raised by Jane herself. So, even after entering her own body, she wouldn't notice anything.By the time Jane realized something was wrong, it would be too late. Even if she didn't die, she would still endure a great deal of suffering. An eye for an eye, Simone hoped that Jane would experience the consequences of her own misdeeds. Let's see if Jane can still laugh after this. Simone had utilized mystical arts consecutively today, and she was exhausted. So, she took a shower and went to sleep. On the other hand, Jane returned to the hotel, changed into her pajamas, and lay on the bed playing with her phone. She happened to lie on the pillow where the larva was. Because it was nighttime, only the bedside lamp was on, and the light was dim, so she didn't notice the larva. Soon, the larva crawled into her head without her awareness. Jane also didn't realize this and went to sleep after playing on her phone for two hours. In the middle of the night, the larva absorbed her blood and slowly began to hatch. The next day. Simone, Zac, and Felix ventured out together to explore the surroundings. Simone and Zac wore caps and masks, dressed inconspicuously to avoid being recognized. Felix noticed their appearance and chuckled, saying, "You guys always look tired whenever you go out." Simone smiled and replied, "You win some, you lose some, it's no big deal." Zac agreed, "Exactly, we're happy to do it." Felix glanced at Zac, and this guy was beyond redemption. Whatever Simone said was gospel. The three of them enjoyed themselves until the afternoon before returning. Coincidentally, they encountered Jane and her group once again. It seemed like they were heading out for a meal. When Jane caught sight of Simone, she was momentarily taken aback, then cast a teasing glance at her. Simone responded with an equally playful smile. Jane was once again surprised, thinking that Simone was fearlessly ignorant. After seven days, this woman would be in tears. The two groups passed each other without noticing. June walked at the back.As she brushed past Simone, she accidentally touched Simone's hand. Simone immediately used her fingers to grab hold of a strand of hair. The two of them didn't exchange any eye contact, just a brief touch before going their separate ways, without anyone noticing anything amiss. Jane, who was in front, didn't see anything either. After returning to her room, Simone used the straw she found outside to create a small doll. She sketched a talisman with Jane's birthdate and attached it to the doll's chest. Then she wrapped strands of Jane and June's hair around the doll's neck. She also took out seven ancient coins and arranged them in the shape of the Big Dipper. Placing the doll in the center, she began chanting a spell. A thread of energy emerged from her body, causing the seven ancient coins to continuously change positions. Simone exclaimed, "Break!" Suddenly, the straw doll stood up, and the seven ancient coins adhered to its head, chest, back, and limbs. Continuing to recite the spell, Simone took a handful of prepared sticky rice and sprinkled it on the straw doll. The sticky rice fell from the doll, instantly turning black. This process was repeated nine times, each time emitting a mysterious aura. Finally, the straw doll spontaneously ignited. It burned along with the ancient coins, turning into ashes. In the end, only the talisman on its chest remained.Simone also experienced a force that caused her to cough up blood. However, the backlash was not too severe. As the talisman burned in a corner, Simone quickly reached out to grab it, preventing it from further burning. She had already experienced the backlash from Jane's talisman, but the final step was still necessary for it to take effect. This talisman had to burn and turn to ashes in order to truly backfire on Jane and the person behind her. Otherwise, it wasn't the right time yet, so those two wouldn't sense it for the time being, and the secret wouldn't be revealed. She put away the talisman, ready to use it on the public stage. It wouldn't be as satisfying now with the backlash. The next day.After finishing lunch, Simone, Tommy, and the others took a car to the public stage. When they arrived at the entrance, they ran into Jane and her group. Jane deliberately glanced at Tommy and his wife and said, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, our company is about to monopolize the top-grade and premium jade these days. Don't get too anxious when the time comes." She still remembered the grudge she had with Lara before, so she intentionally said those words. She wanted to make Tommy and his wife even more angry. Lara sneered, "Are you looking for another fight?" She couldn't stand Jane and wanted to confront her. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she couldn't help but want to start a fight. Jane knew that Lara wouldn't do anything here, so she felt confident.She laughed, "Are you reacting so strongly because I hit a nerve? And you guys are amusing, bringing a feng shui master to this gambling place. Are you planning to rely on superstition to gamble on jade?" Simone looked at Jane, "None of your business, Miss Fordson." Jane retorted, "You should consider what you'll do if you fail in gambling and can't produce any jade. How will you explain it to your foster parents and the higher-ups in your company?" Jane exuded confidence, "I will definitely prove you wrong because that won't happen." Simone smiled, "I don't think we'll be proven wrong. Just make sure you don't cry when the time comes." Jane disliked Simone very much, "We'll see." Simone agreed, "Alright, we'll see!" After Jane finished speaking, she led her group inside.
