Harvey York squinted at the bead on the ground before showing a smile on his face.
"If I guess correctly, you got the bead because of your lack of sleep, right?"
"That's right.Previously, I had very poor sleep.On average, I could only get a good night's rest every three days.
"An expert told me that this happened because of the family’s business of appraising antiques.
"After coming in contact with all sorts of relics, my body would absorb some of the evil energy, negatively affecting
my sleep.
"That was why the expert recommended me to find something holy to keep myself safe, but I didn’t expect..."
Wes Pagan showed a bizarre expression on his face.
The expert was quite a well-renowned figure in the country, but he did not expect that he would almost get himself
killed because of him.

"That said, every single one of your problems right now points toward the bead!"
Then, Harvey crouched down before peeling the bead apart, revealing a tiny bone.
"Huh?!"
Everyone gasped.
Why would something like this be inside such a holy relic? "If I guess correctly, this must be the bone of a baby who
died an unjust death.
"Malevolent energy usually resides around a baby’s death."Judging from the bone, the baby must've died a painful
death.That's why the energy was amplified.
"Along with the bead’s suppression, evil energy was formed.
"It'd be fine if you touched it every once in a while, but anyone would know how a person would end up if they wore
it close to their hearts for the longest time..."That's why, Mr.Pagan.
"The perpetrator isn’t the expert who recommended the bead to you.It was the person who gave you the bead in
the first place.
"They either deliberately planned this...
"Or they were used by someone else."
"You're right, Harvey.Rodney Foster nodded with admiration showing on his face."
The bead was a holy relic, but it was stripped empty by a person with ulterior motives.It became an evil energy
source after someone swapped the insides with a baby’s bone.
"I had my doubts before, but I was too biased that I wouldn’t even dare suspect the bead to be the source.
"Truly impressive, Harvey!" Harvey nodded.
"Other than keeping Mr.Pagan awake at night, the evil energy can also jinx him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He was almost killed in all sorts of terrible accidents because of this thing.
"I didn’t figure it out at first glance either.I had my doubts during the car accident that night...
"I wanted to break the bead immediately, but the authorities had already arrived.
"Ms.Pagan also thought I was just a con man who stepped up just for the money."
Arlet Pagan’s face turned bright red after hearing Harvey's words.
"I was ignorant..." said Arlet with a guilty look.
Harvey showed a smile without saying a word.
Arlet hesitated momentarily before asking, "So what's that drop of blood about then?"
"I'm a man training in martial arts.Naturally, I have strong energy residing in my blood.
"It’s only normal for my energy to counteract the evil energy, right?"
"So, my grandfather's fine now?"
"After a few hours of sleep, yes," replied Harvey with a smile.
