Chapter 23 -23: Who has such a big grudge against her family?
It was as if invisible threads pulled them, and five Yellow Talismans swiftly flew to five positions on Andrea Silva’s body, sticking firmly.
The moment the Yellow Talismans adhered to Andrea Silva, everyone saw that the Yellow Talismans seemed to burn, with wisps of black smoke drifting from the center.
With a crack, the Jade Token originally placed at the center of Andrea Silva’s forehead broke in two.
Meanwhile, in a small shop not far from the Silva Family residence, a middle-aged man was looking at a significant transaction on his phone, smiling. Suddenly, without any warning, he spat a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the floor.
Screams ensued, and the shop plunged into chaos.
Inside the Silva Family villa,
everyone was as silent as chickens, including Donovan Jennings, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Mrs. Silva almost forgot to breathe as she processed, then carefully reached out, attempting to confirm if there was some invisible mechanism above the Jade Token and Talisman Paper.
Otherwise, how could the Talisman Paper just stick to the girl like that, and how did the Jade Token break when the Talisman Paper began to emit smoke, that was jade, after all?
“Mom!”
Seeing Mrs. Silva’s actions, Gideon Silva was somewhat displeased. Master Lu, on the other hand, seemed reminded as he snapped back and shouted,
“This is an Eye-blocking Technique! Mrs. Silva, don’t be deceived!”
Those in the business of trickery all had some skills.
Even the fire trick he had just performed took a lot of practice in private.
He refused to believe that a girl who only looked just over the age of adulthood had any real skills.
If she were any kind of master, he’d stand on his head and… eat dung!
As Master Lu thought this, he saw the faces of the Silva family members change suddenly, including Mrs. Silva, who had been testing the token, as their eyes widened.
Master Lu suddenly had a bad feeling and focused his sight. The young Miss Silva, who had been in a coma on the bed, actually… opened her eyes!
Awake, awake?!
“Little Lili!” Mrs. Silva was the first to shout, her voice uncharacteristically mixed with sobs rather than her usual grace.
Gideon Silva also leaned in with a tense face, “Little Lili, how do you feel?”
Andrea Silva opened her eyes with the usual drowsiness from sleep, murmuring softly, “Mom? Dad?”
Huh, Grandma is here too.
She didn’t seem to understand why her parents and grandmother were all surrounding her bed when she just took a nap.
Looking around the room, Little Lili’s eyes noticeably widened.
There were so many people in her room.
Her pretty big eyes turned, suddenly landing on Scarlett Garrison, and she blinked with some joy, “It’s Sister Doggy!”
The people in the room were all stunned, looking bewildered. Only Mrs. Silva appeared awkward, “Little Lili, don’t call her that, this is your Sister Scarlett.”
Little Lili giggled foolishly, and Gideon Silva, seeing his youngest daughter was still her usual self, instantly relaxed.
“Master Jennings, is Little Lili alright now?”
Scarlett Garrison shook her head, causing the Silva family couple’s hearts to skip a beat; were things still not resolved?
Scarlett Garrison simply said,
“I just forcibly broke the opposing wizard’s soul-borrowing magic. The opponent suffered a backlash and temporarily can’t harm Miss Silva again, but the opposing party tricked Miss Silva into signing a life-for-life contract that needs to be found.
The life-for-life contract must be destroyed by fire, otherwise, if the opposing side finds another wizard, they can still re-cast the soul-borrowing spell anytime using the contract.”
Upon hearing the other party could still target Little Lili, the Silva couple’s hearts instinctively tightened, and Mrs. Silva held Little Lili in her arms, as if trying to protect her.
Gideon Silva, now having no doubt about Scarlett Garrison’s skills, spoke solemnly,
“I had people investigate the surveillance from when Little Lili went missing, but they found nothing. We can keep checking, but I fear it won’t be quick enough, and by then…”
By then, the other party might have already found another wizard to take away Little Lili’s lifespan again, and he truly didn’t want to see Little Lili fall into a deep coma for a second time.
He pleaded, “Master Jennings, is there another way to catch the culprit behind this? Rest assured, whatever the cost to save my daughter, name it and it’s yours.”
Scarlett Garrison thought for a moment, “There’s indeed a way.”
Saying that, she suddenly reached into her pocket and took out a White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
Scarlett Garrison stepped forward, offering the White Rabbit Candy to Andrea Silva, seeing her eyes light up instantly. She smiled slightly, using a rare gentle tone to coax her,
“Little Lili, do you want to play a game with sister? Sister will treat you to candy.”
Andrea Silva looked at the White Rabbit Candy, seemingly wanting it but still tilted her head to look at her mom with questioning eyes.
Mrs. Silva immediately nodded, “Play with sister, okay, Little Lili?”
Seeing her mother not object, Andrea instantly smiled, taking the candy and nodded energetically at Scarlett Garrison.
Scarlett Garrison gave a light smile, then took a thin red string from her bag, tying one end to Little Lili’s thumb, which had been used for signing the contract.
She quickly drew a tiny rune with a Vermillion brush on Little Lili’s thumb.
Everyone could see, at the moment Scarlett Garrison finished, a golden light flashed through the rune on Andrea Silva’s thumb. It seemed to rush along the red string, and the next moment, the short string stood straight as if pulled by something.
The room was filled with widened eyes again.

Little Lili’s eyes widened with amazement, then she exclaimed.
“Wow, I have magic now!”
With a slight smile, Scarlett gestured to her, “Now, Little Lili, get up and follow the direction the string points. Magic will lead you to a surprise.”
Andrea’s eyes brightened again. Unable to contain her enthusiasm, she prepared to set off.
Observing this, the Silva couple, understanding instantly, quickly followed while ordering all the waiting bodyguards in the villa to accompany them.
Let him find whoever dared to harm his Little Lili, and he would make them pay!
They moved downstairs in such a manner; not knowing where they’d be headed, Gideon Silva ordered a car ready, yet Scarlett suddenly said,
“No need for a car, a small cart will do.”
Mrs. Silva was puzzled, and Scarlett explained,
“Generally, soul-borrowing magic is done by sealing a personal item in a red envelope with money and scattering them on the road, and if someone picks it up and spends it, their lifespan will be borrowed without them knowing.
This method of soul borrowing usually doesn’t yield much; the person whose life is borrowed won’t even notice, but Miss Silva was clearly singled out using such a contract tactic, suggesting someone familiar with Little Lili.”
The moment Scarlett finished, a cold breath escaped Mrs. Silva as tears filled her eyes.
Her Little Lili was already leading a tougher life than others due to a childhood injury, yet someone specifically targeted her lifespan!
Did they think Little Lili hadn’t suffered enough?
What kind of person bore such a grudge that they wouldn’t even spare a disabled child?
Gideon’s usually gentle face also displayed a hint of cold viciousness, as he quickly recalled all the foes they had previously encountered.
