Next, the special department interrogated the warlock. The warlock had initially been motivated by money but ended up being manipulated. As a result, he confessed everything. Not only did he betray Melinda, but he also exaggerated the situation, falsely implicating her in a plot against the Gray brothers and Zac.
This matter involved Old Mr. Turner's grandson, a popular star, and several scions of a wealthy family. There was also a warlock from the country of Wocron, so it couldn't be taken lightly. Of course, they couldn't solely rely on the warlock's confession; they needed evidence to make arrests, especially since this warlock was from another country.
So, the special department was busy conducting investigations, and Deputy Minister Solomon secretly leaked the information.
The individuals behind the scenes instructed him not to help cover up for Melinda, mainly because it was impossible to conceal or deceive. What Melinda did was too obvious, and there were records linking her to the warlock. However, the investigation had to be delayed as much as possible.
It would be best to find an opportunity to apprehend the warlock and frame Simone. Only then could they compel the great warlock from the country of Wocron to confront Simone personally. Perhaps they could also take advantage of the chaos and lessen Melinda's culpability. Simultaneously, they could bring down Deputy Minister Solomon's opponent.
Although Deputy Minister Solomon found this task challenging, he did not refuse, nor did he dare to. He contemplated how to find an opportunity to make the warlock "accidentally" die while in custody and also make Joseph and Simone take the blame.
Joseph had been keeping a close eye on him, so he was aware of Deputy Minister Solomon's covert actions.
Hospital. Ever since Simone discovered that the little snake not only enjoyed eating poisonous insects but also absorbed negative energy, she brought the little snake to the hospital and placed it in Skyler and Sean's ward.
The negative energy in their bodies had already dissipated significantly. It originally required seven or eight days. However, with the presence of the little snake, the time could be halved or more. Simone didn't inform anyone about the little snake.
So, every day, she would use the excuse of visiting Skyler and the others to see the little snake. And she would bring a small piece of spiritual stone for it. After Simone fed the little snake, it crawled into Skyler's blanket.
Joseph knocked on the door and entered. Observing the two individuals on the bed, he noticed that their condition was improving every day. "Simone, thank you so much," Joseph expressed his gratitude.
Simone smiled and replied, "You're welcome." She inquired, "What about the warlock? How is the investigation progressing?"
Joseph whispered, "I came here to discuss this with you. I've noticed that Deputy Minister Solomon and his associates are dragging their feet in the investigation. They seem to be lingering around the warlock's location, and I'm not sure what they're up to. I sense something suspicious."
Simone immediately understood the intentions of those individuals. "They most likely want to seize the opportunity to kill the warlock and then blame us." That person hadn't given up yet and wanted to set the great warlock against her.
Joseph asked with concern, "Should we try to expedite the investigation?"
Simone replied, "No need, let them prolong it. It's a perfect opportunity to lure them. But we must protect the warlock; we can't let him be killed for real. But you can pretend to be one of Deputy Minister Solomon's associates and subtly hint that you want to eliminate him. Find an opportunity to make him contact the outside world."
