Chapter 400
"I'll also do whatever you desire," Renae's soft, sweet voice echoed in Matthew's ears, repeating endlessly.
Matthew couldn't take his eyes off Renae's red lips, her enchanting voice echoing in his ears and making his heart flutter.
Since he had begun practicing the cultivation method Nicholas taught him, his resistance to beautiful women had been weakening. With Renae tempting him, he started to lose his resolve. Seeing him staring at her intently, Renae blushed slightly and asked, "Did you hear what I just said?"
Matthew suddenly snapped back to reality and awkwardly cleared his throat. "Well, I don't know the details. Could you explain what happened to me?"
A glimmer of something unusual appeared in Renae's eyes when she realized that Matthew couldn't resist her temptation. It seemed he had agreed.
A pang of pain flashed through her heart, but she quickly came to terms with it. If she sought revenge herself, she might have to use her allure or even become intimate with a few people. Instead of letting her enemies benefit from the situation, it might be better to offer herself to someone who could seek revenge on her behalf.
Thinking about this, she felt much more at ease and said, "When Marcus was alive, many people coveted his medical skills. The situation is quite complicated, so let me explain it from the start."
She began, saying, "Marcus was too kind-hearted. He was solely focused on curing his patients, but he forgot the family traditions, which led to the troubles that followed.
"In the Afflictan Sect, the signature technique is the 13 Phantom Needles, with the final needle forbidden to be used. We can only use the 12 Phantom Needles for treating illnesses, while the final needle is used solely for treating malignant diseases." Matthew asked, voicing his doubts, "Do you mean he used the 13th needle?"
Renae nodded and said, "A young woman from Lambda City, Jasmine Gardner, was suffering from depression and contemplating suicide every day. She eventually came to our house seeking treatment.
"Marcus used the 12 Phantom Needles to help her, but although her condition improved, she wasn't fully cured. In the end, Marcus couldn't resist and used the final needle on her. That's when things went wrong."
Matthew thought to himself that it was bound to cause trouble. The position of the final needle in the 13 Phantom Needles was too peculiar.
He asked, "This has caused a misunderstanding, right?"
Renae glanced at Matthew, slightly confused, before continuing, "The final needle is called the Revitalizing Needle, also referred to as the Pivotal Needle. However, its position is awkward, located at CV 1, and Marcus used the final needle on her.
"Unfortunately, Jasmine misunderstood, and she left the treatment room in tears, accusing Marcus of inappropriate conduct.
"Her family rushed in, and several of her brothers beat Marcus up, breaking his leg in the process. I had no choice but to call the police. I never imagined that from then on, my family would be plunged into a nightmare!"
Renae's pain was evident on her
face as she spoke. "Jasmine insisted that Marcus had behaved indecently toward her. At first, she claimed he had touched her
inappropriately, then she said he had kissed her and even undressed her.
"In the end, Marcus was sentenced to three months in jail. After he was released, news of his knowledge of the 13 Phantom Needles began to spread People came from
everywhere to seek treatment, learn about the method, or purchase the
technique.
"As a result, our house was overwhelmed with visitors. Then, one day, Marcus was found dead beneath a large tree outside the village, his body covered in numerous needles."
After hearing the full story, Matthew didn't gather any useful information. He asked, "If you want me to take revenge for you, who exactly should I target?"noveldrama
Renae's face gradually grew ferocious as she said, "Jasmine Gardner must not be spared! If it hadn't been for her, Marcus wouldn't have broken his vow. And also, those who killed Marcus." Matthew frowned, finding the situation troublesome. Jasmine certainly seemed despicable, but how could he, as a man, take action against her?
As for those who had killed Marcus, the problem was not knowing who they were. He pondered if he was supposed to stay here with Renae to search for clues and solve the case.
Matthew was aware that he wasn't skilled in this area. He stayed silent, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a solution.
Seeing that he was silent, Renae felt anxious. If others came seeking the Scholarly Tradition, she could lie and say she didn't have it.
However, Matthew knew everything, including the fact that the Scholarly Tradition and the Golden Wisdom Pen had to be handed over.
If he didn't help her with her revenge, she might miss this opportunity. Then, the chances of seeking revenge for Marcus would become even more uncertain.
She gritted her teeth and resolved to go all out. With a sweet smile, Renae walked up to Matthew, wrapped her arms around his, and gently shook it. "Please help me out. I have no other options left."
It had been a long time since she'd been this close to a man, especially as she wrapped her arms around him.
