A Man Like None Other - Season 7 Episode 58

Worship

The people watched with wide eyes as the herbs burned brighter and brighter until they were surrounded by a shroud of white smoke. When the smoke dissipated, the people were shocked to find a revitalizing pill lying where the herbs used to be.

“That’s… it?” Stieg asked, his eyes wider than saucers as his jaw hung slack.

He then ran over to grab the pill off the floor. After looking at it and smelling it to make sure it really was the revitalizing pill, he froze in place.

Almost immediately, the people looked at Jared as if they were looking at a god. They were but ordinary people, so they had never seen something like that in their life.

Even Tommy and Phoenix, who had never seen anyone craft pills in this way, were taken aback by the scene.

Right then, Jared’s lips curled. Frankly, he did not make the revitalizing pills in this way—there was no way he would make them one by one. However, he was only doing that to stun the Sabines so that they would not dare to question him anymore.

“Do you now believe that I was the one who crafted these revitalizing pills?” Jared asked.

“O-Of course…” Stieg stammered awkwardly.

He had wanted to sneakily learn a trick or two, but he realized it was impossible for him to learn anything from that.

Like Stieg, the Sabines were overwhelmed by awkwardness as they chuckled dryly.

“Zyaire, you should have told us earlier that Mr. Chance is this brilliant,” Frazier said to Zyaire.

“I did, but you didn’t believe me,” Zyaire replied, shrugging.

That made Frazier feel even more awkward. Zyaire had told them from the start that Jared was a miracle doctor, but they had all been doubtful of his words and had even refused to believe that Jared was the one who made the revitalizing pill. However, they were now getting proved wrong.

“Mr. Chance, if you’re the one who made those revitalizing pills, then why is my father suddenly sober despite you telling us that the revitalizing pill isn’t a cure for him?” Ludovic asked Jared.

“Your father isn’t ill; he only has hysteria. In other words, he’s been possessed. While the revitalizing pill can revitalize a person’s mind, it can’t cure hysteria. Therefore, your father isn’t cured. The reason he’s sober and could recognize you is but a coincidence,” Jared explained.

Right as those words were out of his mouth, shouts rang out from the back of the house. Then, they heard the screams of the servants. Before they came to their senses, a middle-aged man in his pajamas with messy hair had rushed out.

“Dad!” Ludovic yelled at the middle-aged man.

That middle-aged man was the head of the Sabine family, Ewan Sabine.

“You foolish men are interrupting my peace and trying to steal my magical item! I’m going to kill all of you!” Ewan roared, scowling.

As Ewan bellowed, ghostly chills blew past the living room, making the temperature drop.

Frightened out of their wits, the Sabines tried to flee. Nevertheless, they only managed to take two steps before the winds slammed the door closed.

A chill ran down Frazier’s spine, and he asked in a quavering voice, “W-Who are you? We don’t know how we’ve interrupted you. As long as you let us go, the Sabine family will certainly worship you and pay our offering to you…”

Stieg was frowning, and his legs were shaking. Although he had seen patients with hysteria in the past, he had never seen one that terrifying.

“Hahaha! Worship me? You have no right to!”

Ewan burst out laughing. All of a sudden, a black cloud rushed out of his opened mouth. The entire room turned as dark as night, making the people scream in fear.

Tommy and Phoenix were frantic with fear as well, but they took out their weapon and stood closely beside Jared. Zyaire had long since hidden behind Jared.
