âDelilah Whitlock, look what youâve done!ââWhat kind of miracle doctor is this? Heâs a murderer, not a doctor!ââGrandpa doted on you, but it seems you canât wait for him to die! Youâre an evil, heartless wretch, Delilah!âThe entire Whitlock family began throwing accusations and verbal abuse at Delilah.When Delilah saw that Blanc was covered in blood, a look of panic shot through her eyes.âDonât worry. Thatâs just the blood thatâs been congested internally in his system for far too long. Heâll be fine in a little while,â Skylar explained calmly.At this, Delilah nodded, and her panic subsided. After all, she would not have asked Skylar to come and see her grandfather if she did not have full confidence in his abilities.Before going to Kareem Fashion, she had personally talked to the terminal stomach cancer patient and ascertained without a doubt that Skylar had used acupuncture to effect a miraculous cure.
As a result, she believed that Skylar possessed the ability to cure her grandfather as well.Blancâs illness was unusual and atypical, so naturally, one also had to make allowances for Skylarâs unusual method of treatment. Delilah understood this, but the rest of the Whitlock family did not. Aunt Veronica, in particular, was horrified. âYou deceiving scoundrel! Youâre a quack and a con artist! Even a perfectly normal person would die in no time after bleeding so excessively, much less an old man on a sickbed!â
She accused Skylar in shrill, angry tones.She did not wait for Skylar to reply, but rushed over to the bed and yanked out all the needles that had been inserted into Blancâs body.âHurry and get the hospital director here!â Harvey ordered, turning to the people beside him.Skylarâs eyes glinted icily for a moment as he watched the Whitlocks. âImbeciles! I really pity Blanc Whitlock for having children and grandchildren like you!âWhatever these Whitlocks had in mind, Skylar was not interested in finding out.
He gathered up the acupuncture needles and prepared to leave.âStay right there!â Harvey shouted suddenly. âDonât you even think of leaving while poor Mr. Whitlockâs lying there bleeding! You better give me an explanation or an antidote right now!â âExactly! This b*stard quack needs to be investigated thoroughly; who knows if heâs in cahoots with Delilah to steal the family fortune!ââNo wonder heâs in such a hurry to leave! This is a matter for the police now; grab him, and donât let him get away!âThe Whitlock family was in an uproar, accusations and recriminations flying freely.Once Skylar was taken into custody, they would be able to blame Delilah for everything. Naturally, they would split her portion of the shares once they wrested them away from her, so they had no intention of allowing Skylar to leave just like that.However, Skylar ignored them all and headed toward the door. Did these idiots really think they could stop him from departing? In their dreams, perhaps!When Harvey realized that Skylar was going to leave, regardless, he bellowed, âSecurity! Stop this quack from leaving!âImmediately, the sound of running footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside, and twenty-over black-garbed men wearing in-ear monitors burst through the door right in front of Skylar.âYoung fellow, you just stay right where you are, or else youâre going to be sorry!â The leader of the security team warned.Skylar eyed the entire security detail, then said blandly, âIâm Skylar Stone. If I want to leave, not even the gods themselves can stop me!âThis enraged the team leader. âYouâre too arrogant for your own good, you pipsqueak! Very well, weâll show you just how sorry youâre going to be!âHe was about to order everyone present to stop Skylarâs departure and secure him. However, just as he opened his mouth, an expression of disbelief slowly spread across his face.As soon as Skylar advanced toward him, his entire body felt as if it had turned to stone. He could not move at all or even twitch a muscle. What was more, he couldnât even close his open mouth. He tried to speak, but no words came out.All twenty-over members of the security detail fared exactly the same. It was as if their bodies had been encased in concrete; they were rooted to the spot and could not move, no matter how they tried.The only thing they could do was move their eyesâ¦
