"Come, Cecilia. If it weren't for him, you would have died."
Mason introduced Jett, smiling as he spoke.
"Good girl," Jett patted Cecilia on the head.
She was only eight years old but was as plump as a little meatball.
Cecilia was startled when her head was patted and quickly scurried behind her father.
However, sensing the kindness in Jett, she timidly called him.
From this, it could be seen that Cecilia was more socially adept than her father.
"Mason, if I may ask, where is the reward you promised?"
Jett didn't like beating around the bush and asked directly without hesitation.
"Ah... Here it is."
Mason was momentarily stunned by the question, then pulled out a checkbook, scribbled something, and handed it to Jett.
Jett looked down and saw that the original reward of 30 million had turned into 300 million, a tenfold.
Seeing Jett's surprised look, Mason gave a bitter smile and explained, "I originally thought it was just an ordinary illness or supernatural event. I didn't expect it to be so complicated. The extra is my compensation."
Jett nodded, feeling that Mason was quite socially adept. Jett accepted it without hesitation, as he was in need of money.
"I'll be leaving now," Jett said as he stood up to leave.
"Master, how about having a meal together?"
Mason quickly stood up. If he didn't establish a relationship with this master now, it might be the last time they met.
Where else could he find such a reliable person if he encountered problems in the future?
Especially with the increasing frequency of supernatural events in Vaauco District recently, if he didn't find someone strong to rely on, he might not even survive.
"Forget it. I know what you're thinking. Here's my business card,"
Jett had worked in various industries before and naturally had business cards for networking. His business card was simple, with just a phone number and no name.
After all, those who think you're useful will keep you in mind, while those who don't might throw your card away. Fancy designs are useless.
Upon receiving the business card, Mason looked as if he had obtained a treasure.
Seeing that Jett was determined to leave, he didn't try to stop Jett.
...
"Let's find a place to stay today. I originally planned to return in a week, but now it seems I'll have to stay longer."
In Jett's opinion, with the chaos in Vaauco District, it would be a waste not to catch some big fish.
So, Jett first went to the bank with Bianca to cash the check and then started looking for a house.
On the other hand, as soon as Jett left Mason's house, Mason's phone rang.
"Hello, Paul, what's up?"
Mason was surprised by the voice on the phone, then showed an embarrassed smile and said, "It's okay now. My daughter's problem has been solved. Thanks for your concern."
"You want to come over and see? Alright, I'm at home now."
Shortly after, Paul arrived.
Behind him was a tall and slender Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face.
"Paul, who is this?"
Mason sat on the sofa, looking puzzled at the Taoist priest sitting beside Paul.
"This is a master I met after much effort."
Upon hearing this, Mason became interested and took a closer look.
"Mason, I heard that your daughter's chronic illness has been cured. May I have a look?"
The old Taoist suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.
"Sure," Mason didn't refuse, as he was brought by his good friend.
So he called his daughter down.
"Is she really awake?"
Paul was surprised to see Cecilia. He had specifically video-called her before and almost gave up hope, as the doctors had practically declared her untreatable. He didn't expect her to recover so quickly.
The old Taoist looked for a while but didn't see anything unusual, feeling curious.
"I wonder how that master explained the girl's condition at that time."
Mason roughly explained the situation. The old Taoist immediately fell into deep thought.
"Strong soul, attracting ghosts..."
"A spirit child!"
The old Taoist suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, looking at Cecilia as if she were a treasure.
"What's a spirit child?"
Mason asked curiously, and Paul beside him also became interested.
After the initial shock, the old Taoist began to explain.
"A spirit child is born with more spiritual energy than ordinary children. Such children have exceptional talents. They may not show it in daily life, but once they step onto the path of cultivation, they will grow rapidly. However..."
"However, what?"
Mason was anxious, as this concerned his daughter.
The old Taoist glanced at Cecilia and said solemnly, "However, the exceptional talents of a spirit child also have side effects. They easily attract evil entities. Although these entities won't harm the spirit child easily, they will affect their growth."
"Especially in this upcoming chaotic era, if a spirit child isn't protected by a sect, they are likely to die young."
Upon hearing "die young," Mason immediately thought of his daughter's previous condition. She almost died young. If it weren't for the help of that master, they might have had to wait for her death.
"I'm curious how that person cured this girl. This isn't an illness, and it's quite difficult to handle."
According to the old Taoist's knowledge, for a spirit child to grow, they must choose a place free from evil influences and be taught from a young age to control their talents.
Apart from that, there were almost no other methods.
"That master killed all the ghosts and dripped a drop of his blood onto my daughter's forehead. Soon after, my daughter woke up," Mason explained.
A drop of blood?
The old Taoist called Cecilia over and saw a light red mark beneath her forehead skin.
"Open the Heavenly Eye!"
The old Taoist formed a hand gesture, and his eyes flashed clearly as he looked at the mark.
The next second, the old Taoist's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes showed a look of shock.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turned pale, and his whole body seemed to lose all strength, collapsing.
His hand trembled as he pointed at Cecilia's forehead, his face filled with disbelief. He struggled to spit out a few words.
"The Will of Martial Arts!"
