My grandfather was taken to the hospital for a more thorough examination, while the others followed after him.In no time at all, I was the only one left in the bedroom.Casting Sacred Halo had cost a lot of my golden mist. I was completely exhausted at this point.I found a chair and plopped myself down. Eventually, fatigue and weariness washed over me. I began to doze off.Ding ding ding ding, dong ding.A familiar ringtone interrupted my peaceful slumber. My phone was ringing—a call from my mom."Will, it's a miracle! Your grandfather is cured!" My mother's excitement and joy were palpable through the phone speaker."I… glad he could make it…" I mumbled. "He's… truly… blessed. Must be a good man.""Your grandfather has called for a family meeting. He said that you should be present.""Ah… oh… okay."Although I did not share my mom's enthusiasm in this regard, I did not want to disappoint her or spurn her goodwill.Given our relatives' attitudes toward us, what was the point of this

"Dad, it's me!" Kevin perked up at the man's voice. He shouted down as loudly as he could.Soon, a flurry of footsteps on the stairwell. Two middle-aged men were making their way up the stairs.The one in front was the man who had taken us here, Soren Gleeson, my mother's brother. Mom had told me who he was during the drive.The man behind him wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and carried what looked like a medical bag. Not a common sight, that's for sure, but he was probably a doctor."Dad… ah… my hand…" Kevin was absolutely bawling at this point.My uncle Soren looked quite upset. The man behind him blinked, then made a diagnosis. "Mr. Gleeson, it looks like Kevin's fingers are broken. I'll give him a bit of first aid.""I really can't thank you enough, Dr. Fullman."Soren coughed politely, then looked at his wife. "What in the world happened to Kevin?""You're finally back, honey. If you'd come back any later, my darling son and I would have been bullied to death by that whore and

"Ma'am!"The four burly men rushed to the woman's side. They greeted her and glared at me with well-trained coordination, their eyes burning with cruelty."What are you doing?" My mother stepped in front of me and intervened."Out of my way, bitch! Or I'll take you out with the trash, too!" The woman pointed her fingers at my mother's face."How dare you say such a thing!" my mother retorted, perfectly giving off the energy of a hen protecting her chick."I do dare, and I'll do more than that too!"The woman harrumphed. "Get them! Whatever happens, is my responsibility.""Yes, ma'am," the four men affirmed in unison.They rolled up their sleeves and began to advance on us.I balled up my own fists in response, readying myself for a fight that could break out any moment now."What are you boys doing? This is the eldest daughter of the Gleesons. Do you really intend to lay your hands on her?"Mr. Faulkner tried to defuse the situation, but he was immediately interrupted by a raucous voi

Two minutes later, my mother emerged from her room with an exhausted look on her face."Mom, what's wrong? Who called you just now?" I asked her."Some things in life are inevitable after all. I can't just keep running away from it," my mother muttered to herself before looking up at me. "Will, come with me to visit someone.""Visit someone? Who?" I was even more confused now.She did not answer my question and walked toward the door, so I trailed behind her.A Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked outside our gate.A middle-aged man in an expensive suit was leaning against the hood, a half-smoked cigar in his mouth.Was that the man who called my mother earlier? I sized up the man in front of me and was even more baffled.I came from an ordinary family. I did not remember us having any wealthy relatives at all. Besides, my mother hardly ever interacted with anyone else apart from a few ladies from her workplace.So, who exactly was this man?As I sized him up, the man turned to look at me a

Smack! The crisp sound of my palm landing on Tyler's cheek resounded throughout the front yard.Tyler now had a bright red handprint on his cheek, with some blood dribbling out of his mouth."You actually dared to hit me!" Tyler stared at me in shock.He had always been the one to bully me. This was the first time I had ever hit him."You little bastard! How dare you hit my son! I'm going to kill you!" Jessie flew into a rage and came pouncing toward me.I turned to the side to dodge her attack. Jessie missed and lost her balance, so she ended up falling flat on her face."Thrash him! Make sure he dies!" Tyler yelled hysterically at the hooligans he had brought along.The hooligans immediately started charging toward me.I was afraid that my mother would get hurt in this conflict, so I quickly ran toward the hooligans in order to move the fight further away from her.To my horror, while I was fighting the hooligans, Tyler raised his wooden bat and swung it at my mother.It was too lat

"Stop right there!"My mother and I had only just taken a few steps when we heard Sasha's shrill voice yell at us."What do you want?" I turned and asked Sasha.Sasha marched over in her high heels. "William Floyd, I know why you beat up David so badly! I know what you're up to!""Huh?" I was confused and had no idea what she was trying to say."You think that you can get back together with me after ruthlessly beating him up, don't you? I'm telling you now, that's impossible!" Sasha raised her chin and glared arrogantly at me."You think I'm trying to get back together with you? What a joke!" I scoffed.My Sacred Halo could regenerate living cells and cure all sorts of illnesses, while my Profane Coil did the exact opposite. It worked by attacking the victim's immune system and worsened any illness that person was already suffering from.David spent most of his time hanging out in pubs, drinking and womanizing. He had sexually transmitted diseases that could easily be treated if disco
