Under a Curse
Wilson hurriedly waved his hand. “Minerva, how can you talk like that? I absolutely trust you, but those
are your cousin and her husband after all! I can’t let you fall out with them just for my sake!”
Minerva instantly sneered, “Wilson, do you think they treat me as a relative? We’ve long since severed
the ties between us. No matter what’s going on, just tell me. I’m definitely on your side!”
He was moved by those words as he held her hand. “Minerva, you are so kind to me. I have no regrets
about being able to spend my life with you!”
Then, she smiled and jumped into his arms and the two of them cuddled for a while before he told her
about his solution.
In the evening, Minerva left Lach Residence and rushed to The Grand Garden, where Helen was alone
in the house and was busy cooking. Upon seeing Minerva coming over, Helen couldn’t help but be
happy. “Minerva, you’re here! You haven’t eaten, right? Let’s eat together tonight?”
Minerva was unlike her usual lazy self as she ran directly into the kitchen. “Sure! Let me help you, Aunt
Helen.”
Helen was pleasantly surprised. After all, Minerva had not done anything since she returned, much less
helped out in the kitchen. On the weekdays that Minerva came, she was either playing with her phone on
the sofa or taking a dip in the pool. Today, she unexpectedly came to help Helen cook, so this was an
unprecedented situation. Could it be that this child has finally grown up?
Looking relieved, Helen waved her hand. “No, you’ve been busy all day, so you must be tired. I can do it
myself.”
Minerva did not agree at all and she insisted on staying in the kitchen to help. Helen couldn’t turn her
away, so she could only allow Minerva to help slice the vegetables. Minerva acted busy for a while and
when Helen wasn’t paying attention, she quietly took out a tiny porcelain bottle from her pocket and
poured some powder from it into the dish. Then, she took a fork and stirred a few times to dissolve the
power. As for Helen, she didn’t even notice Minerva’s actions and was still busy cleaning up.
At the same time, a short, messy-haired man was sitting there inside a dark and secret room within the
Lach Residence. The man had a few plates in front of him and on the plates were some bloody meat
which he was wolfing down. Suddenly, the door of the room opened to reveal Wilson entering with a
smile. “Master, I have already done what you have ordered me to do. I have given that bottle of medicine
to someone trustworthy to execute the plan. It’s just that Matthew is highly skilled in medicine. Are you
sure he won’t detect it?”
The man did not stop but completely finished a piece of meat before he raised his head.
“I’m telling you that this is a curse, not a medicine! The curse of the seven tails is the most concealed
type of curse, out of all the curses. Even if someone else gives me this kind of curse, I wouldn’t be able
to discover it, let alone an outsider!”
Wilson replied, “In that case, Matthew would never find out about this curse, right?”
The man nodded proudly. “That’s for sure!”
Then, Wilson pondered for a while more before he asked, “As Matthew is highly skilled in medicine, he
can cure any curse as well. This curse of the seven tails—”
With a wave of his hand, the man explained, “The curse of the seven tails cannot be cured! The so-
called curse of the seven tails is a fusion of seven kinds of centipedes that gives birth to a special kind of
centipede. There are thousands of millions of such centipedes in Orleans and if one randomly picks
seven kinds of centipedes, one can fuse a curse of the seven tails. With each different selection of seven
different centipedes, the treatment method will be different every time. Therefore, there are also
countless kinds of such curses. Apart from the person who placed the curse, it is impossible for anyone
else to know the treatment method.”
Upon hearing this, Wilson was overjoyed. “Wow, this curse is very powerful indeed! What if we use it on
Billy Newman?”
