Roger was taken aback. “Why do you say that, Dr. Lund?”
“Because I sense demonic energy between your brows,” Emrys replied.
“Demonic energy?” Roger exclaimed in shock,

Emrys nodded and said no more. Instead, he gave Roger his phone number.

“If you ever feel something is amiss, feel free to call me anytime. However, whether I can answer the call is another matter altogether.”
“Thank you, Dr. Lund.”
With that, Roger left Apricot Hall gratefully.
“Master Lund, what exactly is this demonic energy you mentioned earlier?” Duncan asked curiously.
As a seasoned traditional medicine practitioner, Duncan excelled in observation and diagnosis. When he examined Roger earlier, he didn’t notice anything unusual except for mild swelling in the latter’s eyelids.
Emrys glanced at him and said, “How should I explain it? Just consider it as bad luck.”
Duncan exclaimed, “Master Lund, you know physiognomy too? That’s amazing!”
“You’re not bad yourself.”
“No, no, you’re the best, Master Lund.”
The next few days went by peacefully, and Emrys could find more time to treat the patients at Apricot Hall.
Needless to say, his greatest joy was teaching Caylie acupuncture techniques.
He had to admit that Caylie was surprisingly talented. Not only did she master the Needle of Ninth Revival and Seven Stings from Hell, but she also learned two new acupuncture techniques from Emrys.
Duncan couldn’t help but feel jealous.
A few days later, Cordelia approached Emrys and said, “Penny called to inform that she’s holding dinner at The Gathering in Summerbank tomorrow at noon. She wants me to bring you along.”
“She wants you to bring me along?”
Although Emrys had already planned to accompany Cordelia to Summerbank, hearing those

words still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Oh, Penny, your intentions are too obvious. Do you think I will be interested in an unsophisticated woman like you?
Emrys arrogantly flicked his head and said, “Fine, I’ll go. I’m curious to see what that woman is up
to.”
Smack!
Cordelia slapped his head and snapped, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
The next morning, Emrys drove his Bugatti Veyron and parked it in the courtyard.
Cordelia asked curiously, “Are we taking your car today?”
“No. You drive your Porsche, while I drive my car.”
“What’s wrong with you?” Cordelia muttered. Just then, she saw Emrys emerge from the house, shouldering a vintage bicycle. He seemed determined to squeeze it into the backseat of his car.
Her expression darkened as she asked, “What are you doing?”
“These sports cars have their trunks in the front, and they’re too small to fit my bicycle,” the man explained matter–of–factly.
“I’m asking why you’re carrying a bicycle in the first place.”
Cordelia sighed. Ever since Penny’s appearance, her younger brother had been acting strangely. She couldn’t help but wonder if something was wrong with his brain.
“This vintage bicycle is my precious possession. I have to bring it along.”
He was resolute in avoiding a repeat of the previous incident.
If he had taken the bicycle with him when he and Cordelia last went to Summerbank, he could have returned earlier and resolved many troubles sooner.
It was Emrys‘ contingency plan.
“All right. Forget about your sports car. Just squeeze your bicycle into the backseat of my Porsche,” Cordelia conceded, rubbing her temples in frustration.
The journey from Jadeborough to Summerbank would take no more than two hours if traveling by the highway.
They set off at nine in the morning and arrived at The Gathering around eleven–thirty, half an hour ahead of schedule.
Penny was already waiting for them.

When she saw their arrival, she greeted them warmly, “Delia, I booked a private room for us. Let the waiter escort you there first. I’ll wait here at the entrance for Mr. Gage, as he should be arriving soon as well.”
