The little cutie unfolded the paper slowly, and in that instant, a familiar image revealed itself before her eyes. It was unmistakably the colored pencil drawing she had sketched for the very first time today!The picture showed a young girl with a ponytail, each hand holding onto an adult. The figure on the left had long, flowing hair, while the one on the right bore only a few short strokes of black pencil for hair, resembling a character from a simple comic strip. The three of them walked together through a world filled with candies of every kind.Though crude and unpolished, lacking any real artistic technique, the drawing overflowed with a dreamlike quality. It was the deepest wish of Rosie's heart, captured in simple lines and color.Just moments ago, Rosie had been convinced that when Glen Johnson brushed his hand across the paper, the drawing had vanished completely. But now, impossibly, here it was again, right in front of her. The little cutie couldn't help
Chapter 156
He had already performed once today using the Enchanted Gloves from that prop set, which meant that for at least the near future, and certainly within this hotel, he wouldn't be using the Enchanted Gloves again.If he agreed to the audience's demands and performed another act now, wouldn't that mean exposing yet another trump card? Using up another prop would genuinely hurt. Each piece in his collection was precious, and revealing them too quickly meant burning through his carefully guarded arsenal.But then, through his earpiece, came the voice of the entertainment company manager, Gavin Cole, saying the audience response was so enthusiastic that they hoped he could add one more act. The request was polite but carried weight.Glen Johnson hesitated for a moment, weighing his options, then smiled. "All right. Since everyone's so enthusiastic, I'll perform one more little act for you all. However, I didn't bring any props with me today, so I'll need to borrow something

Derek Mullen let out a startled cry and dropped the lighter, desperately trying to yank the terrifying glove off his hand. But just as his fingers closed around it, he felt a powerful force surge through his left hand, the one trapped inside the glove. The strength wasn't his own. His entire arm jerked upward, moving against his will, as if controlled by some external puppeteer.A sharp crack echoed through the restaurant.Everyone watched in stunned silence as Derek's gloved hand swung up and slapped him hard across his own face. The blow landed with enough force to snap his head to the side. Before he could even process what had happened, the glove peeled itself off his hand with a swift, fluid motion, as though it had a mind of its own. It dropped to the floor and immediately began scuttling across the ground like a frantic mouse, its five fingers moving in rapid, coordinated steps. The glove darted under the table and emerged on the other side, making a beeline for Gle

Glen Johnson watched as two different people grabbed hold of his gloves, but his expression remained calm and unhurried. Instead, he walked over with a smile and said, "Gentlemen, please return my gloves. These two little troublemakers have quite the mischievous streak. I'll have to give them a proper scolding later, or who knows what chaos they'll stir up next."The heavier man was reasonable enough. His determination to catch the glove had been purely to vent his frustration. Now that Glen was asking for it back, he felt reluctant but knew the glove was part of the performer's magic props. It wouldn't be right to keep it. With a resentful grunt, he pounded his fist against the glove twice, testing its weight and texture as if trying to memorize every detail, before grudgingly handing it over.Derek Mullen, however, responded to Glen's request with a cold chuckle. "Give it back? Why should I? I went through a lot of trouble catching this thing." He paused, his gaze linger

Just then, someone in the audience gestured to Glen Johnson, pointing out that the pair of gloves was perched right on his shoulders.Glen quickly tilted his head to look, and sure enough, there they were. The two gloves gripped his left and right shoulders. When his gaze met them, both gloves simultaneously raised a middle finger in his direction, the gesture so human it drew gasps from the nearest tables.The audience roared with laughter at the sight, equal parts amazed and amused. The sheer audacity of the gesture, combined with the impossible reality of animated gloves, had people clutching their sides.Down in the crowd, Derek Mullen raised one eyebrow and said, "Those gloves are something else. Reid, can you tell what's going on?"Reid Barrett scowled, his jaw tight with frustration. "Can't say for sure, but I'd bet there's some kind of high-tech remote control system rigged inside them. Look around and see if anyone's fiddling with a controller or somethi

Glen Johnson noticed the crowd's positive reaction and continued with a perfectly straight face. "Yesterday, I pretended to be a Magician for a bit, and sure enough, quite a few people actually fell for it. They thought I really knew magic tricks! But then... some sharp-eyed folks saw right through the illusion and recognized me for what I truly am: an odd-job worker. They mocked me, saying I didn't look anything like a real Magician."He paused, letting a sheepish expression cross his face. "When I heard that, I was genuinely worried. So I rushed home and went online to research what a real Magician is supposed to look like. That way, I could do a better job pretending next time! And you know what? I actually found something. Turns out, real Magicians always carry a Magician's Three Essential Tools with them: ginseng, mink fur, and deer antler... Oh wait, hold on. That's not right. Those are the region's three prized resources from the Midwest, not a Magician's Three Essential
