The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

“But this is ultimately an unconventional method. I can’t risk the boss’s life on it,” Jaden said in a low voice. He had always been a person who followed the rules, and making a decision on such matters wasn’t something he could do lightly.

“Jaden, if the situation were different, I wouldn’t want to do this either,” Rafael said, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. “You’ve seen the current situation in The Capital. The struggle among the conglomerates-both the Jarnigan family and the Truette family are falling. We don’t even know who will rise next. Then there’s the Artisans, backed by Jeremy, and the mysterious Temple in Heaven.

Right now, The Capital, and even the entire country of A, is just calm on the surface.”

Jaden’s face immediately darkened.

“Jaden, you want to protect the Gustin Group, and I want to protect the country, to hold onto my position,” Rafael said with a bitter smile. “Only Enrico can resolve this situation.”

If Enrico were here, would he allow a group like the Artisans to challenge him? Would he tolerate these conglomerates dancing on his head?

Jaden remained silent.

“Jaden, give it a try. I believe that if Enrico knew, he would choose to try as well. He wouldn’t allow himself to continue living like this.”

Rafael’s words were persuasive.

Yes.

The boss was such a proud man.

Jaden sat there, swayed by Rafael’s words, and nodded. “I’ll go back and look into it further before making a decision.”

In fact, he knew that if he waited any longer, the Gustin Group might crumble in his hands.

Only when the boss reappears can everything be resolved.

“Take this book back with you. The butler stole it from Earl’s study. That Medicine Curse Sect successor had practically worn out the book before she graduated.”

Rafael handed Jaden the book with the black cover.

…

Three days later.

Several luxury cars drove along the clean roads of The Capital.

Inside an extended limousine, Dr. Clinton opened a small wine cabinet nearby, took out a bottle of red wine, poured it into a glass, and handed it to the two important figures beside him-Rafael and Jaden.

This time, he was accompanying Jaden to meet the successor of the Medicine Curse Sect.

The cases of healing mentioned in the book about the Medicine Curse Sect were there, but they were all quite old, and the medicinal ingredients used for cultivating the Gu didn’t seem to have much relevance. He couldn’t definitively say whether this unconventional method could cure anyone.

But the reputation of the Medicine Curse Sect was something he had always heard of, and he was excited to witness it firsthand.

“How did you find out that the Medicine Curse Sect successor came to The Capital?” Rafael asked Jaden, somewhat surprised.

His butler had begged Earl for a long time, but Earl never mentioned his student’s contact information.

“I had someone plant a listening device in Earl’s home. I overheard him talking to his student on the phone and got a vague address. It took a day of searching to locate it,” Jaden said expressionlessly.

In fact, he had already sent people ahead to investigate but they were turned away, told that without bringing the patient, the successor would not be seen.

Given such high demands, he had no choice but to come in person. He was more anxious than anyone about this visit for treatment. He feared that this Medicine Curse Sect successor was just a figurehead.

“You’re not as adept in business as Enrico, but you do have some skills in this area,” Rafael chuckled and sipped his wine. He then asked, “By the way, what’s the name of this successor?”

It would be embarrassing to seek medical help without even knowing the person’s name.

Jaden shook his head. “I don’t know. Earl called them ‘Little Daredevil,’ so they probably aren’t very old.”

“A real talent,” Rafael remarked.

Jaden didn’t care whether the person was talented or not. He turned his gaze to Dr. Clinton, who was staring at the red wine, and said, “When we meet this successor today, you need to gauge their abilities and ask how they use Gu to heal people. Analyze from a medical perspective how likely it is to work.”

Knowing how crucial this matter was, Dr. Clinton nodded. “Understood.”

The car headed toward the eastern outskirts of The Capital.

Due to the manipulation of various conglomerates, land in The Capital had become extremely valuable. Even in the suburbs, there was little greenery-just an endless sea of high-rise buildings.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Deep in the suburbs, there was an ultra-high-end residential area called Rose Garden. In contrast to the skyscrapers everywhere else, this place was like an oasis.

There were no high-rises within the community, only about thirty villas, with green spaces occupying 80% of the area.

As they approached, the air noticeably improved.

The car stopped at the heavily guarded entrance of the community. Rafael put on a prepared mask, saying as he did so, “Jaden, you should put on a mask too.”

Dr. Clinton looked at him in confusion.

“The public knows that Enrico is avoiding the world due to illness. If people find out that Jaden is personally seeking medical help, it would be like announcing to the world who needs treatment,” Rafael explained.

“The president is right.”

Hearing this personal explanation from the president, Dr. Clinton hurriedly put on a mask as well.

Rafael glanced at him and said, “You’re fine; no one knows who you are.”

Rafael didn’t talk much while handling affairs in the presidential palace, but he was more relaxed with Jaden, often forgetting his own status.

Today, for instance, he was just an ordinary person seeking medical help for a friend.

Dr. Clinton, who was supposedly unknown, nearly choked and didn’t know whether to keep the mask on or take it off.

Jaden wasn’t in the mood to listen to Rafael’s jokes. He put on his mask, jumped out of the car, and headed straight for the community gate.

Before he even got close, uniformed security guards stepped out and blocked their way, coldly stating, “Non-residents are not allowed inside.”

Jaden looked at them with a cold expression. “We’re here to visit a resident.”

Typically, the guards should ask which resident and then confirm. However, the guards standing in a row before them didn’t budge. The head guard stepped forward and asked, “Are you here to visit the Medicine Curse Sect successor?”

“Yes,” Rafael and Dr. Clinton stepped forward from behind.

They were followed by a group of armed bodyguards. Since the three of them were here, they had to meet this mysterious Medicine Curse Sect successor today.

The lead guard didn’t even blink. With his hands behind his back, he simply said, “The lady has instructed that if the patient is not present, she will not see anyone. Please leave.”

Rafael and Jaden were both taken aback. Just a resident, yet the guards referred to her as “the lady”?

Before coming, they had already investigated this community. Every household was registered, but the residents were all currently abroad and not living there.

This meant that the Medicine Curse Sect successor was likely renting a place here.

But now, it didn’t seem that simple.

Rafael looked around carefully. The walls of this community were exceptionally high, securely enclosed. From the gate, he could see security patrols passing by at intervals, all standing straight and well-trained…

This didn’t look like a regular community. It seemed more like a private estate.

The community was likely just a facade to hide the identity of someone significant.

It seemed this Medicine Curse Sect successor was not ordinary.

Jaden was about to speak when Rafael stepped in front of him and cleared his throat, “I’m the patient. I have bouts of confusion and clarity. I’ve seen many doctors without success, so I’ve come to seek help from your lady. If she can cure me, money is no issue.”
