Eleanor’s cruel expression gave Ezra the chills. He thought that she might hesitate. He never thought
that she would want Dustin to experience excruciating pain from the beginning.
After all, Dustin did help her once. Wasn’t that too cruel?
When Ezra thought of what he had done before, he was a little frightened. It was lucky that he still had
the support of the Swanson family.
If his fate was in the hands of this crazy woman, he knew he’d end up with a horrible ending.
“Ezra, is there a problem?” Eleanor looked at him again with an innocent smile. She looked completely
different from the cruel and vengeful person a few moments ago.
“No, no problem at all!” Ezra laughed. This guy has it coming. He actually had the guts to upset my girl.
He must pay for it!”
“I knew it! You love me most!” Eleanor smiled sweetly. Then, she pointed at the green wooden
container and said, “Sir Crane, we’ll use the venomous thing in this. We must teach this goon a good

“You’ve paid for this service. Your wish is my command.” Without saying another word, Theodore
nodded in agreement.
They saw him cut out a corner of Dustin’s shirt and dripped a few drops of fresh blood on it before
chucking it into the green container.
Theodore then started chanting softly and acting in a secretive manner. After the charade, he suddenly
lifted the green cloth and called out firmly, “Go!”
At the moment when the green cloth was lifted, a venomous black insect escaped and flew out the door
very quickly.
“Alright, that’s it. We’ll know the results in an hour.” Theodore folded his sleeves and sat down again as
he started enjoying the light snack prepared.
“Thank you for your hard work, Sir Crane.” Ezra smiled. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, “Bring in
the wine!”
Soon, a sumptuous feast was served. An ornate wooden box was also placed on the table. When it
was opened, Theodore saw that it was filled with gold bars.
“Sir Crane, please accept my small token of appreciation.” Ezra nudged the wooden box filled with gold
bars forward.
“You’re most welcome. It’s my honor to have been of service.”
Theodore flashed a rare smile and graciously accepted the gold bars. Compared to cold, hard cash, he
preferred shiny and glittering objects.
“Sir Crane, let me give you a toast. Here’s to more successful collaborations between us.” Ezra poured
three glasses of wine for each of them. They drank every last drop after clinking glasses.
Very soon, the conversation started flowing, and they began to relax as they drank more wine. Ezra
was very interested in the occult, so he asked questions to learn more about it.
As he was just paid handsomely with gold bars, Theodore was more than happy to divulge his
knowledge.

After finding out more about the occult, Ezra found out that Theodore was from the Mystic Arts Order.
Occultism was actually just witchcraft. The only difference was that one sounded better than the other.
Ezra was engaged in an interesting conversation with Theodore. Eleanor was a little annoyed sitting
beside them because she felt neglected. After all, she wasn’t interested in their topic of conversation.
After the sumptuous feast, Eleanor asked impatiently, “Sir Crane, didn’t you say we would have results
within an hour? It’s already been an hour. Why haven’t we heard anything? Did the insect you released
fail?”
“Hmm?” Theodore stifled his smile when he heard that. “Why? Don’t you trust my abilities?”
“I’m just curious. I’m afraid that there could have been a mishap on its way.” Eleanor’s brow furrowed
slightly.
“What mishaps could there be? My venomous insect has been bred especially for this purpose. It’s
been trained well. There’s never been any mistakes. It could locate its targeted prey anywhere in the
world.” Theodore was very confident.
“If that’s the case, why hasn’t there been any news till now? How do you know if it worked?” Eleanor
asked again,
