Murong Fan emitted an ear-piercing screech, his body writhing in agony as the fire consud him.
The flas crackled and danced wildly, casting eerie shadows across the tomb’s walls.
The scent of burning flesh mingled with the rotting stench, creating a nauseating odor that filled the air.
Murong Fan’s form disintegrated amidst the blaze, crumbling into charred remains that scattered across the chamber floor.
The assistants and Shorty, petrified by the grueso sight, stood frozen for a mont before Dr. Leng’s urgent voice snapped them back to reality.
"Run, now!"
Dr. Leng’s urgency spurred them into action.
The trio sprinted toward the exit, their hearts racing, fueled by fear and the adrenaline rush of survival.
The flas behind them crackled and roared, casting flickering shadows that danced along the walls of the tomb.
As they reached the entrance, gasping for breath, they found those archaeologists who left saying they had so important work discussing sothing in a gossipy tone.
Dr. Leng glanced back at the tomb’s entrance, a mixture of relief and sorrow washing over him.
The loss of Murong Fan was tragic, but the terror of the situation and the threat of the spreading affliction had left them no choice.
The assistants exchanged wide-eyed glances, still reeling from the horrifying events they had just witnessed.
Shorty stood there, his face pale and eyes wide, trembling with the shock of the ordeal.
"Hey is that Dr. Leng?" asked one of the archeologists in an uncertain voice.
"Yes!"
"God he was able to return unscathed."
"What about his injury? Is it safe for us to go near him?"
"It’s healed can’t you see? Idiot!"
"Dr. Leng, how are you? Are you okay? I was going to call an ambulance for you just now!"
"And I was too trying to find dicine for you..."
All the archaeologists who previously left started acting concerned suddenly.
But Dr. Leng ignored them and said to the 2 assistants who assisted him in the cave,
"Let’s leave. As for others, be ready for your resignation."
Saying that line Dr. Leng turned to leave but all the archaeologists started to protest and say,
"Dr. Leng how could you ask us to resign..."
But before he could finish, Dr. Leng said in an angry voice,
"Do you want to tell you about how you left and my 2 assistants heartlessly without caring about what would have happened if I didn’t find a solution to treat my injury on ti?"
No one dared to say anything.
It was the first ti they had seen Dr. Leng so angry.
Usually, Dr. Leng doesn’t scold them and will not even punish them if he sees them stealing so of the treasure because he understands that they need so urgent cash.
He would only warn them and leave but today their behaviour of leaving him behind had indeed angered Dr. Leng.
Dr. Leng looked at the Shorty and said,
"That b*stard almost tried to kill and you are saying why am I asking you to resign?"
Seeing the shaful expression on their face Dr. Leng snorted and left.
His 2 assistants followed him behind.
They rejoiced in their heart that they decided to wait for Dr. Leng, otherwise who would know that they would too be submitting their resignation tomorrow?
On the other hand, Dr. Leng only had 2 thoughts in his mind.
First, to report this incident to the higher authorities, find the person who sent this map and wanted them to be dead.
Second, find the person who made those talismans.
If by chance the higher-ups don’t take this issue seriously and seal the place then he could contact that talismans master and ask for more talismans.
.....
Yu Holea didn’t know about this incident and finished with her revision.
Looking at the physics book, Yu Holea placed her hand on her head and exclaid,
"I will study it tomorrow. But before that, I need to find a master who can teach physics."
Even though she has made so progress in physics she was far from behind in completing her syllabus.
Thank god that physics was her last exam and she has more ti to prepare.
Just then her phone rang.
Seeing an unknown number, Yu Holea picked it up and heard a gentle voice filled with a harsh tone,
"Have you blocked my number?"
Yu Holea instantly recognized that the person on the other end was Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu didn’t wait for Yu Holea’s explanation and continued,
"And when are you going to co?"
She sounded particularly impatient.
Yu Holea took a deep breath and when she felt a bit better she said,
"First Mrs. Yu correct your tone, your way of talking doesn’t match your status. And the second thing, I hope that the next ti before you start shouting at , you greet . I am not your punching bag."
Yu Holea’s tone was cold and Mrs. Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit frightened.
There was silence on the other side for a long while before Mrs. Yu said with anger in her voice,
"Yu Holea, is this the way you talk..."
But before she could finish her words Yu Holea asked,
"Did you want to talk about sothing important?"
"What do you an? Do you think I will call you..."
Yu Holea again interrupted and asked in a cold voice,
"Yes or no?"
She was done with the Yu family and didn’t even want to deal with them at all.
But because of getting even, she has to tolerate them for a month.
However that doesn’t an that they can treat her, however they want.
She wasn’t the weak Yu Holea they knew.
Mrs. Yu gritted her teeth but when she heard the non-negotiable tone of Yu Holea she understood that Yu Holea would hang up if she said anything more.
Hence Mrs. Yu said in a low voice,
"Yes."
"Say it then. Don’t waste ti." Yu Holea said.
"You..." Mrs. Yu was a bit angered and the previous tenderness that had developed in her heart from the last night’s dream disappeared.
Yu Holea waited for Mrs. Yu to one word so that she could directly hang up but Mrs. Yu stopped.
She sighed in her heart.
Mrs. Yu said after controlling her rage,
"Is your exams over?"
Yu Holea replied in a natural voice,
"No, it hasn’t even started."
"What? How much more ti will you require? The servants are starting to ask for leave! You..."
Yu Holea suddenly said in a cold voice,
"Mrs. Yu."
Mrs. Yu stopped when she heard Yu Holea’s voice.
"I am not a servant. And even if I have to assist the servants in doing so chores, don’t expect to act like a poor girl who doesn’t know anything. I am ready to give monetary compensation but don’t expect to act like a servant."
"You! You are backing out from your words!" Mrs. Yu said loudly.
Yu Holea ignored her and continued her words,
"You had asked to assist the servants in finishing the chores, if you don’t rember I can send the audio."
Mrs. Yu was speechless.
She didn’t rember what she said at that ti, but she rembered that the general aning of her words was that Yu Holea had to beco a servant.
However now that Yu Holea said those words, she suddenly rembered that she had asked Yu Holea to assist the servants.
There was a huge difference between both lines and Mrs. Yu knew that if she didn’t explain properly then Yu Holea would understand her plans.
Yet Mrs. Yu felt that if she explained herself then she would look like she was cornered, so she decided to deflect.
"I didn’t call to argue about this. You have your exams, I understand. But the sooner you finish them, the better for everyone," Mrs. Yu retorted with a calm but authoritative tone.
However, Yu Holea sowhat felt that Mrs. Yu’s words weren’t right.
Has she decided to insult her? Has she already set up a stage for her?
Yu Holea had a headache, she was already having so many problems in her life, does she need to deal with these additional problems too?
Was there no other way to pay them back?
No!
She doesn’t want to waste her 1 month and get ordered around, there should be so other way!
Hence Yu Holea said,
"Mrs. Yu hold on a minute."
Then she hung up the call and checked the blocklist.
After hesitating for a long while she unblocked Yu Sicong’s number.
Taking a deep breath she thought about how to convince him to accept the monetary compensation and leave her alone and finally called him.
Within a few seconds, the call was picked up.
"Holea?" a tired yet cheerful voice sounded.
Tired? Was he tired because of the company’s work?
Anyway, she doesn’t need to think about that.
"Eldest Young Master Yu I have a deal for you."
"Deal? What deal?" Yu Sicong asked curiously.
