Chapter 28 The Soul–Devouring Curse
Robin picked up the red coat on the couch and covered Cecilia up.
“I’ll leave it to you to fix the poison in you. It’s your family’s secret poison.”
Cecilia looked at Robin’s slander back weakly, a glint of sadness in her
eyes.
She was shocked when she saw the dark blood on the floor.
“What… Why…”
“Someone put a Soul–Devouring Curse on you.” Robin slowly turned around.
“It only works when it’s placed on a woman with a special constitution before she’s three years old.
“The black python in your body was the shard of a lost soul.
“It was regaining its body as it rested in your body.
“If I didn’t take it out, soon, it would be able to escape your body and drain your soul and blood.
“By then, you’ll be useless. And you’ll wither rapidly and die eventually.”
“What?!” Cecilia started trembling at the shocking news. “How come?”
In her memories, her grandpa and her mom had a big fight when she was little.

Chapter 28 The Soul–Devouring Curse
Cecilia didn’t know what the argument was about.
But her mom died the next day.
For years, Cecilia couldn’t rest well as she would feel cold suddenly at night.
During her period, Cecilia would suffer unbearable pain as if she were eaten alive by thousands of ants.
Every period was torture to Cecilia.
She had sought out many famous doctors over the years.
Yet./none of them knew what Cecilia’s illness was.
“You often feel cold and upset. And during your period, you’ll have a thirst for blood and violence.
“All of these are because of the Soul–Devouring Curse.

“You’ll die as the black python sucks you dry.”
when
Cecilia’s gaze was filled with surprise she heard Robin’s diagnosis.
She would turn 21 years old in six months.
If she didn’t meet Robin, she would still be in the dark.
And she wouldn’t know why until the day she died.
Cecilia shivered uncontrollably.
The wrath in her caused her blood and energy to run wild in her body.

At that moment, Cecilia felt the anger pounding at her ribcage, asking to be let out.
Robin noticed Cecilia’s pale face and unbuttoned the coat.
Cecilia couldn’t lift a finger and only wanted to lie down.
Robin took out three special tools.
With three flashes of white light, the special tools were shot into both sides of Cecilia’s shoulder and her nape,
Cecilia started shaking violently,
Soon, a scream broke out in the room.
Cecilia pulled a string of white smoke and let out a long sigh. She sat boneless on the couch.
The pink returned to her cheek after a long time.
Cecilia opened her heavy eyelids and murmured weakly, “Mr. Bruce, what happened to me?”
Robin retreated the special tools. Seeing that Cecilia was recovering, he used a napkin to wipe his hands.
“In this world, there’s a wraith–like being called the evil spirit.
“When it isn’t trapped or activated by the outside force, it’ll roam in the void with its faint energy as it doesn’t have a body or a mind.
“Without the command of an outside force, it can’t act on its own with
a purpose.
“On the other hand, when someone commands an evil spirit to do something, the person will need a special body as the host. The

commander can only feed the evil spirit through the host.
“In the folks of Londraland, the host is someone whose soul is replaced by a ghost.”
Cecilia nearly/broke down as Robin explained.
Although she heard similar tales…
She never believed the evil spirit’s existence.
Yet, she had seen the black python clearly.
She had watched Robin force it out of her body.
Cecilia had been so relaxed and at ease, both physically and ment*lly.
At that moment, she felt a warm surge of power pouring into her body.
She felt alive.
人
Yet, Cecilia also remembered that the person who put her under the Soul–Devouring Curse was the head of the Hart family, the person she respected the most.
Her faith and her sense of responsibility crumbled at that moment.
Cecilia reminisced about her past in detail.
The more she thought about it, the more firmly she believed that she was merely a sacrifice for the Hart family.
They said she was the underworld queen of Dallig, the pride and joy of the Hart family, and the upcoming star of the family. They asked her to shoulder the responsibility to revive the family’s former glory.
All of them were lies. She was in a great scheme.

Chapter 28 The Soul–Devouring Curse
The members management of the Hart family all knew the truth. Cecilia was the only fool who was kept in the dark.
Cecilia was still shaking. She looked at the aloof man in front of her and bowed faithfully again.
“Lord Dragon, I swear that I’ll serve you with my life from now on.”
As Carly, she had reluctantly bowed to Robin out of fear.
But she meant it this time.
Cecilia understood that she needed Robin’s protection to stay alive and seek vengeance against her family.
She believed there was a connection between her mom’s death and her miserable fate.
Once the management of the Hart family found out the Soul–Devouring Curse was invalided, they would send out the top assassins to go after her.
Cecilia believed that her family wouldn’t be a threat as long as she stayed by Robin’s side.
The Hart family may be the No.1 family in Valluynn. And they could bring half the people of the earth to their knees.
But they were no match for Robin at all.
Robin smiled aloofly, “You made the right choice.
“Although I got rid of the black python for you, it had been feeding on your blood and soul for nearly 20 years. It’ll take you a long time to return to full health.
“However, you’ll be fine as long as you avoid using your energy. Be

careful.
“Today’s treatment is over. I’ll treat you again later.
“Unsurprisingly, you can regain 30% of your soul in three months.”
Cecilia knelt on the ground and said, “Yes, Lord Dragon.”
“You can get up now.” Robin threw the napkin at the table.
“I didn’t know why the Hart family sent you to Londraland. I assume you are the same.
“The Soul–Devouring Curse is a deliberate trap they set up 20 years ago. The management must notice that it was lifted soon.
“Maybe, the assassins will come to Hallcester soon.”
Cecilia gradually regained her strength.
She blushed fiercely at her nudity.
Cecilia immediately put on the coat and stood up gingerly before fixing her disheveled hair.
Robin glanced at her indifferently. Cecilia had lowered her head in shame. “What happened today never happened. Understand?”
“Yes, Lord Dragon.”
Robin turned to exit the room.
Livia and Leonel were standing guard outside. They bowed as Robin walked out.
They also noticed Cecilia’s pink cheeks and the torn clothes on the floor. The black underwear stood out.

Livia’s eyes grew as wide as saucers.
“Ms. Decker…what happened? Did this jerk… NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“Shut up!” Cecilia snorted. “This is none of your business. Just remember that Mr. Bruce is an important guest. You must obey his every order.
“See Mr. Bruce out.”
“Yes, Ms. Decker.” Livia had so many questions.
She snicked a peek at the room and cringed at the chaotic scene.
No matter how reluctant Livia was, she had to follow Cecilia’s order.
She secretly shot Robin a glare. “This way please, Mr. Bruce.”
Robin smiled and spanked Livia’s firm ass.
The sound echoed in the hallway.
Livia froze in place.
She thought, “How dare this jerk spank me?”
This was Livia’s first physical contact with a grown man. She was angry and shy.
“You!” Livia raised her hand but stopped as she noticed Cecilia’s calm
gaze.
Livia pushed her anger down forcefully.
She thought bitterly, “What a bastard. Sooner or later, I’ll make him regret spanking me.”
Robin left the Purpeak Bar.
