Thomas had thoroughly absorbed the knowledge contained in the book “The Imperial Acupuncture”. He knew the functions and uses of various acupuncture points by heart. He had endured hardships to comprehend the knowledge recorded in this ancient book, especially the slap from the eccentric old man, which still haunted him. However, he was grateful to the old man, as he wouldn’t be who he was today without him.

Quincy felt enlightened upon hearing Thomas’ explanation and quickly took out a pen and notebook to jot down notes. He personally handed Thomas a cup of tea and asked, “So, what can I help you with?” There was no doubt that Thomas came to him so early in the morning for a reason.

Thomas replied, “I need to go out for a while, and I might be back late. I’ve already informed Olivia, and she won’t leave the hospital today. She’ll continue taking care of her uncle. So, I would appreciate it if you could look after her for a while.”

Today was Zachary’s birthday. Thomas planned to first call Chloe, pretending to be Zachary to let her know he was safe. Then, he would appear in person as himself. He wanted to distract Chloe and shift her attention. As siblings with a strong bond, she would surely miss her brother even more on this special day.

Thomas hadn’t decided when to tell Chloe about Zachary’s death. He couldn’t bring himself to say the words every time he looked into her teary eyes. Chloe and her father had just started living a good life, and it would be too cruel to break the news of Zachary’s death now. So, Thomas chose to keep it a secret, even if it meant being seen as weak or evasive. He had made up his mind to postpone it as long as possible.

“You can rest assured and go about your business. Olivia will be perfectly safe with me here,” Quincy reassured Thomas. They were in a hospital, and no one would dare to harm her while he was around. That would be a surefire way to invite trouble!

Thomas got up and left after a few more moments of conversation with Quincy. Quincy watched him leave and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Olivia, life has a way of balancing things out. Although you lost your mother at a young age and faced rejection from your own grandfather and father, now you have someone like Thomas protecting you—a powerful man who seems heaven-sent. Perhaps you can break free from the destiny of being a sacrifice one day with him by your side! I hope to raise a toast at your wedding with Thomas soon!”

While the smaller factions and common folk may not have been aware of their affiliation with Minacia Oito Irieson, the Families consistently pushed the boundaries of decency.
