While Julian was searching for the object called the Forbidden Codex, Henry James and his mother were on their way to the western area of Eastland city, specifically heading towards the coal mining owned by the Hawkins Family.Throughout the journey, Henry couldn't stop smiling because Louisa's father had said if he had a way to cure Aria James, Henry's mother."Finally, we arrived at this place!" shouted Louisa. Her eyes sparkled as she reached out her hand to Henry.Louisa Hawkins held Henry James's hand, leading the boy running towards an underground cave, precisely at the center point of the Eastland city coal mining.Inside the cave, there was a room resembling a mystical worship place."I thought you would take me to the hospital, can my mother really be cured after being brought to a place like this?" Henry asked incredulously.Louisa smiled then pointed to an altar made of dark black stones adorned with strange ornaments, resembling ancient runes that Henry couldn't decipher.

At the hospital...Lily had listened to Louisa's rather long story. It was a tale of the past involving the ancestors of the James family and the Hawkins family who stole the Forbidden Codex artifact from the Kaldorian tribe.Initially, the ancestors of the James family were just a poor, suffering family. The only good thing about the James family was that they had great physical strength. It was then that the treacherous Hawkins family had the intention to take advantage of the James family.The Hawkins family plotted a raid and genocide against the Kaldorian tribe to obtain the Forbidden Codex. After the massive massacre committed by the James family, the Kaldorian tribe suffered a crushing defeat, and the Forbidden Codex fell into the hands of the James and Hawkins families."And is that why the James family suffers from a curse?" Lily asked Louisa.Louisa nodded. "Hawkins knew for certain the consequences of seizing the Forbidden Codex from the Kaldorian tribe, which is why my anc

The seventh full moon was two days away but just as Henry had predicted, Zeke called Henry and informed him that he would hurt Lily at will if Henry did not hand over the ancient Forbidden Codex artifact to him immediately."Henry James, I have previously mutilated a woman's body while she was alive and conscious. I can cut someone's stomach and enjoy the last screams. And, it's not hard if I do it again to your woman – Lily," Zeke said after having previously said the similar thing. "You know what I mean, right? Don't underestimate my ruthlessness and bring the thing I asked for here immediately!"Henry took a deep breath and then replied, "Zeke, I will applaud you for your outstanding criminal achievement. But remember one thing, I can also mutilate the Forbidden Codex as I please, burn it or even put it in a shredder. You obviously don't want the Forbidden Codex to get hurt. Listen to me, install CCTV in Lily's room, give me access to monitor it. If you treat my woman well, I will

"If I give it to you now, will you still keep your promise?" Henry inquired of Zeke, releasing his grasp on Louisa's hand.Zeke had promised to ensure Henry and Lily's safety if Henry agreed to hand over the Forbidden Codex to him.Pointing towards Louisa, Zeke remarked, "If it weren't for that spoiled girl, I would have intended to break my promise. You should be thankful to Louisa!"Henry smiled slightly and took something out of his suit. An ancient dark brown book was taken out by Henry and thrown at Zeke.Zeke raised his right hand to catch Henry's throw. He scrutinized the ancient book closely, flipping through its pages one by one even though the book contained only blank pages.After reaching the last page, Zeke grinned broadly and then turned around. "Louisa, escort your guest to Ms. Lily's chamber!" Louisa nodded, grasping Henry's elbow again before walking down the corridor of the cave, which had been constructed to resemble a modern building with adequate lighting."Henry,

Louisa slammed on the brakes abruptly, causing her car's wheels to screech loudly against the asphalt of the highway. Simultaneously, screams echoed from the back cabin as Louisa's car came to a sudden halt."Lily! You're alive! How's your stomach?!" Henry yelled hysterically, grabbing Lily several times, releasing her, then embracing her again.Louisa gasped for breath as she saw Lily open her eyes once more."Ms. Lily... You were dead... I saw it with my own eyes. You weren't breathing, and your heart stopped beating! This can't be happening!" Louisa cried out in confusion, rubbing her eyes several times, yet still seeing Lily as if she had never experienced death."Henry, what's happening? Did you both follow me to death?" Lily asked curiously, remembering feeling near death not long ago and then losing her life. "My stomach? Why isn't there anything wrong with my stomach?" Lily grew increasingly shocked after realizing that her stomach was intact and unharmed.In the darkness of t
