Chapter 184 How Did She Know?
In the hospital room, a man wearing a black hoodie, a black duckbill cap, and a mask stood in front of Jodie’s bed. His eyes showed signs of bruising, and his voice was hoarse. “Yes, I’m here to help you. Put this on.”
He took off the black agate bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Jodie.
Without hesitation, she took it and 1 “Are you okay?”
it on. “Thank you, my brother!” She asked cautiously,
The man sneered, “What do you think? This black obsidian bracelet is a special magical tool with a luck–stealing formation inside. You need to find a way to regain the lost luck.”
Jodie asked in confusion, “How do I do that?” She didn’t know anything about geomancy or mystical arts.
The man answered, “Find a way to make more people like you; anyone will do. Your recent actions have caused you criticism, and you lost a large number of followers on the Internet. Your luck has declined. Did your intelligence start to decline, too?”
Despite the dissatisfaction in her heart, she didn’t dare to say it out loud. “I originally just wanted to use Luca to deal with Simone and ruin her reputation. As long as her reputation is bad, my luck will return.” But something baffled her. “Who would have thought that she would find out about my curse on her?”
The man looked at her with a cold and stern gaze. “Who told you to do such unnecessary things? I came to this country specifically to help you deal with her. I’m here to help you. Why did you still curse her and let her sense that something was wrong? You’re a fool who causes more harm than good.”
If it weren’t for the fact that this fool still had some use, they would never bother with her again.
Jodie asked, “If I curse her in my heart, can she also know? That’s not normal!”
The man was speechless. “She was never ordinary, and it’s likely that she has a keen intuition, which is why she found out. If you didn’t do unnecessary things, I wouldn’t have suffered such a backlash.”
Simone not only countered his negative energy curse but also intercepted his aura from the red agate magical tool and used some special method to amplify the backlash. This time, the backlash was severe, and he didn’t know how long it would take to recover.
Jodie shrank her neck. “I–I won’t do it again.”
The man said, “Now, remember two things. It’s best to find a way to become popular, and if that’s not possible, take the route of being controversial. Gain some popularity and convert it into luck. You still have the final variety show live broadcast. At that time, you have to find a way to get close to Simone, silently recite the word ‘absorb‘ in your heart, and absorb her luck through this string of black agate.
“If you want to continue living comfortably, remember, it’s a zero–sum game between you. I can see that two of your brothers have already distanced themselves from you and started to change their attitudes. You also need to coax them back and continue to shower them with love
“Look for more opportunities to have physical contact with them. It will be beneficial for you, and don’t make foolish mistakes like today again. Don’t let them see through you.”
Jodie understood. “Okay, I got it.” Suddenly, a question came into her mind. “The next live broadcast will be two weeks after this one ends, but I won’t recover from my injuries by then. How can I participate?”
The man had thought of this. “Someone will arrange it. They will find a way to delay the final variety show live broadcast for a month and also find a way to arrange the location in the ancient city. So, you must go. After you return home, someone will mail you some medicine, and your broken bones will fully recover within a month after application.”
Jodie felt her forehead. “What about my face? Is there any scar removal medicine?”
He coldly swept his gaze over her. ‘Don’t worry about the injury on your forehead for now. On the contrary, you can use it to seek justice from your brothers.” He emphasized again. with a stronger tone, “It is very important to regain their hearts and love for you.”
It was the first time Jodie had seen him emphasize the same thing repeatedly, and she obediently nodded. “My brother, don’t worry. I’ll listen to you.”
He was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. “Not good, they’re coming after me.”
He sensed the aura of the special department personnel wearing badges, and before Jodie could react, he quickly opened the door of the ward and left. Instead of taking the elevator, he took the stairs, but just as he descended two floors, he saw Sean waiting there.

Sean’s face was even paler than during the day. “Still trying to escape?”
The man was startled. How did he end up here? Without hesitation, he turned around and ran upstairs. Just as he reached the next floor, he saw Skylar coming down.
He understood now–these two were intentionally blocking him here. Puzzled, he asked, “How did you know I was in the hospital?” After his location was exposed during the day,
luckily, he escaped quickl
He even risked further injury and deliberately used secret techniques to block the leakage of his aura, which meant that all his presence in this world would disappear for several hours so that neither these two nor Simone could find his location.
Skylar raised an eyebrow. “Mainly because someone is smart enough to guess that you will come to the hospital at night. You escaped from us during the day, so naturally, we had come here and wait for you at night. I didn’t expect that you would come.” He added, “It seems that you care quite a bit about Jodie Gray, your biological sister.”
The man froze for a moment. “Did Simone guess it?” Otherwise, he couldn’t think of anyone else.
Sean, who was slowly approaching, said, “You have a quick mind.”
The man’s face twisted, gritting his teeth. “It’s Simone again.”
She had inflicted such serious injuries on him and brought people from a special department to capture him. This grudge had been formed.
Sean took out a special pair of handcuffs. “Are you willing to put them on yourself, or should we have a fight first?”
The man’s mood was gloomy, and he voluntarily extended his hands, saying, “Bring it on.”
He had made all the arrangements, but he didn’t expect to fall into this trap. Under normal circumstances, he would not be afraid of them at all and have a great chance of fighting them and escaping.
However, he was currently seriously injured and had utilized secret techniques to exacerbate his injuries. Dealing with one of them, let alone two, was already impossible.
He was extremely frustrated, to the point where he wished he had not employed those secret techniques. He inquired, “Did you intentionally allow someone to wear identification from. the elevator while you did not bring any yourself?”
He had detected a distinct aura emanating from the elevator, so he avoided it. Who could have anticipated that these two were concealing their presence here to ambush him? Truly cunning.
Yet, in the afternoon, he had managed to elude them by sensing their presence. So, how did they become aware of his whereabouts?
