Charlie replied coldly, "That is your lifeline. The reason why the evil spirit could be appeased so easily i s because Jack is using your life as a trade-off! Within three days, this red line will extend all the way to your elbow! After that, you will drop dead immediately.
Jack is using all the virtues and good deeds that you have accumulated in your lifetime, and he is sacrificing your life in exchange for the lives of the rest of the Quinton family members!" 2
Graham was shocked when he heard Charlie's words.
He froze in place because he was utterly shocked. 2
Adam was also panicking at this time as he looked at the people around them. 5
All of the masters who were present nodded slightly a s they witnessed this scene. Graham will not live for more than three days. 3
Adam knelt on the ground before he begged Jack, "Mr. Valeman! Please, please save my second uncle's life!"
At this time, Jack stared at Adam with an arrogant expression on his face as he sneered and said, "I have already used my magic to appease the evil spirit. How do you expect me to take it back? I am using Graham's life in exchange for the safety of the rest of the Quinton family members! You should be thanking me right now." 1
Aurora turned pale immediately as she bit her lower lip. After thinking for a short while, she knelt down before Charlie and said, "Please, Mr. Wade. Please help my father..."
Charlie glanced at her before he replied indifferently, " Since the Quinton family chose to trust in Mr.
Valeman instead of me, then this has nothing to do with me anymore. Why should I help you now?" 3
Aurora's eyes were red as she could not stop crying at this time. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Wade, if you save my father, I promise to fulfill any requests you have..." 6
Charlie chuckled before he replied, "I have nothing that I want from you..." 4
At this time, Graham also ran over to Charlie and knelt down before him as he cried, "Mr. Wade, I’m sorry I was blinded. Adam was the one brainwashing me..." 6
After that, Graham dragged Adam over to him before giving him a tight slap across the face. 4
Adam quickly dodged and moved aside before he could give him another slap. 1
Out of desperation, Aurora grabbed hold of Charlie's legs as she pleaded, "Mr. Wade, please save my dad.
