SWNOVELS Chapter 471
Oliver stared at his fingertips in disbelief , his face contorting in shock as he watched his finger almost get bitten off .
The skin was shredded , revealing bone , and fresh blood dripped steadily into the water basin in front of hian , the drops rippling across the surface before vanishing into the water .
My God … the bite mark on his face … it can bite back ? What is happening ? Is this some kind of curse ! Is there a ghost here ? In an instant , the entire courtyard , once filled with people lighting candles , erupted into chaos .
Screams filled the air , and people scattered in panic , some stumbling and falling in their haste to flee .
The lively , bustling scene moments ago was now eerily empty .
Oliver stood frozen , as if paralyzed by fear , his mind struggling to comprehend what had just happened .
Godfather , last time you told me to make a wish , to bring back the child in the painting was it really a stillborn ? Where is he ? Wheres he buried Can you tell me ? The womans voice cracked as she spoke , tears streaming down her face .
Her hands shook with anxiety .
When the producer had told her the story , she hadnt believed it .
But after the slap the way the bite mark had appeared on Olivers face , only to bite back and injure his hand everything had fallen into place .
She believed now , wholeheartedly .
Who told you this ? Olivers eyes narrowed , a flicker of suspicion crossing his face .
He had intended to use the ghost of the stillborn child to manipulate her , to make her miscarry and fuel the childs vengeful spirit , hoping it would strengthen his control over it .
With enough power , he would be able to use it as his personal tool , building his strength so he could hold his position in Crownridge , where his own abilities were starting to Exil Bi now , with Odalys emerging as a rival , he had begun losing followers .
His situation had become desperate .
The necklace she had given to Hannah , something he had hoped to claim for himself , was also a setback .
When Odalys had rejected him , he had realized how much more powerful she was And witnessing her effortlessly resolve the Tillery family crisis had only intensified his fear .
Now , he had no choice but to resort to dark means , trying to secure a future for himself .
really stillborn ? If you dont .
Ill have to go to the police , the producer Im not interested in who told you .
Just tell me the truth was that child really st threatened Oliver stood motionless , the tension in his eyes thickening .
His carefully constructed energy field , set up in the quadrangle courtyards , was at risk .
If the authorities came here , he would have no escape .
Looks like someone has been stirring the pot , trying to sow discord between us .
Yes , that child did die , but Ive already guided his soul , helping him choose to reincarnate in your womb .
Youve been struggling with fertility , but the gods have answered your prayers .
Thats why youre pregnant now .
So why are you worried about whether the child was stillborn or not ! Life and death are an endless cycle .
Even if you dont want this child , the next one born to you will just come from another form of death Oliver continued , his words almost hypnotic , as he tried to manipulate the womans emotions .
The producers wife listened , conflicted , his words resonating with a twisted logic that almost made sense .
But the producer semained resolute .
I dont want to hear your nonsense .
Just tell me where is the child buried ? His voice was firm and unyielding .
He had seen enough in his business dealings to know when someone was trying to deceive him with empty words .
Not far away , Orson leaned casually against a tree , his eyes gleaming with amusement as he watched the scene unfold .
A grin tugged at the corner of his lips , and he whispered , He sure knows how to brainwash people .
Tell me about 1 , Odalys replied , her voice low and confident Orson almost dropped his phone , stanted by her voice .
He quickly turned around , finding Odalys standing there , leisurely biting into a cucumber , her posture relaxed as she casually observed the unfolding drama .
1/2 7:38 AM ₫ c Chapter 471 Odalys , what are you doing here ! Orson whispered , his voice filled with surprise .
She handed him the cucumber , and he took a bite , glancing over at Percival , who stood nearby , eyes closed in meditation .
He was clearly waiting for Odalys Im just here for the show , she said with a grin .
Her eyes flicked over to Oliver , who appeared increasingly anxious .
She couldnt help but feel a little disappointed .
Oliver , despite all his scheming , was nothing more than a coward .
That bite mark … how did it transfer to Olivers face when the producer slapped him ? And then it actually bit him back ! Orson said , his voice filled with excitement He had been utterly stunned by the bizarre turn of events .
He had seen some wild things before , but this was on another level .
Tve never seen anything like this before .
* Oliver uses the souls of dead infants to create a puppet a mindless tool that only listens to him , Odalys explained , taking another bite of her cucumber .
The truth is , his powers are weak , so he resorts to these tricks to make himself appear stronger .
Unborn children are easiest to control theyre more pliable , and their spirits are far from afraid of death .
When one dies prematurely and is brought back , their vengeful energy only intensifies , feeding Olivers power .
She paused , letting the weight of her words settle before continuing In short , he uses these infant souls to stir up trouble , to make his energy field seem more powerful .
Then , he swoops in to clean up the mess , gaining credibility .
Orson nodded slowly , starting to understand .
Isnt this just a scam ! Orson gasped .
All these rich fools in Crownridge how could they believe in him ! He had once been a guest of the elite families , invited to events where he would perform energy field readings for millions .
Everything was done with fanfare , and they treated him like royalty .
Exactly Odalys said , her voice tinged with amusement .
If he wasnt a fraud , then why couldnt he even deal with something as simple as the Bennett familys issue ? He couldnt even handle that small problem with Hannah and ended up on bad terms with them .
She sneered , clearly unimpressed .
Olivers methods are nothing new to me .
People like him have been running these scars for years .
And yet , no one sees through him .
Orson looked at Oliver , feeling a new kind of disgust settle in his stomach .
So hes been lying all along ! How has no one figured it out ! Odalys shrugged , her gaze never leaving Olivers increasingly desperate face .
Its just like the entertainment industry creating fake personas long as your name is big enough , no one cares about your past .
Its all about the image you build .
Thats why so many so called rich second generation types have fake identities , and no one ever questions them .
The truth is , their credentials and backgrounds are fabricated , just like Olivers .
His powers arent as great as they seem , but his branding has made him a big name among the clite .
Orson hesitated , still unsure whether he should keep filming .
He wasnt sure it was worth wasting his phone battery on this anymore .
But this guy -hes still using dark arts .
He must have betrayed his master , or else he wouldnt be dabbling in all this evil stuff .
Odalys nodded .
Exactly .
People who walk the righteous path dont resort to these kinds of methods .
