    Chapter 665


    Jensen''s gaze kept darting between the window and Rayna. The traditional medicine practitioner


    caught Jensen''s movement but didn''tment on it.


    Wlien the car slowly stopped in front of the beachfront mansion. Jensen carried the still-unconscious


    Rayna from the car into the house.


    The traditional medicine practitioner was stunned when he saw the white. Epean style structure by the


    beach. A memory of Jensen requesting an advance payment from Andrew a few months ago shed


    across his mind. Realization crossed his eyes. Yet. he wanted a direct answer from Jensen himself, so


    he asked. "Wlien did you And this house?”


    "This is my personal matter and not part of your job scope."’ Jensen unlocked the front door with a


    retina scanner and carried Rayna up the stairs. Before he made a turn down the hallway, he warned.


    "Don''t touch anything in this house. Also, you''re not allowed to go into the house in the backyard. You


    can choose anywhere else to be your workce."’ Wlien he finished, he continued making his way to a


    room on the left on the second floor and carefullyid Rayna down on the bed. He reached for the


    covers on the side and pulled them over her. Wlien he tucked the covers over Rayna''s shoulders, he


    unknowingly saw something red crawling along her neck. His expression turned solemn as he reached


    out his fingers to gently stroke Rayna''s neck until he felt something moving beneath her skin.


    "A parasite."’ Jensen narrowed liis eyes at that knowledge before uttering the exact species of the


    parasite. "Blood parasite.*’


    Jensen shot a nce at Rayna before turning around and leaving the room. He came down the stairs


    back to the living room. The minute he was standing behind the traditional medicine practitioner, he


    sped onto the older man''s shoulder tightly. The practitioner paled at the sharp paining from his


    shoulder. "Jensen, w-what do you think you''re doing?”


    "The tiling that''s moving inside Rayna''s body. That''s the source of your extracts, right?” Jensen cast an


    icy look at the older man. "Can that thing really be made into skincare products?”


    The traditional medicine practitioner didn''t expect Jensen''s question. Feeling the firm grip on his nape,


    he didn''t dare to move, nor piss Jensen off. so he merely nodded. "It can."’


    He wasn''t dumb. He knew Jensen must''ve seen the tiling under Rayna''s skin when he carried her to


    the room upstairs earlier.


    However, he didn''t understand why Jensen would be agitated by that. Hence, he carefully probed.


    "Jensen, we''re just working for Mr. Zeller. There''s no need for you to act like this."*


    Jensen slowly released the grip on his nape at liisment. "How did you find out about that thing in


    Mrs. Faymon''s body?”


    "You... release me first, then I''ll tell you.** The traditional medicine practitioner tried to use that as a


    bargaining chip, hoping Jensen would free him.


    However, it didn''t cause the desired effect. Instead of freeing the practitioner. Jensen''s grip tightened


    around the older man''s nape. He threatened the practitioner with a growl. "I''m asking you a question!”


    "Jensen, y-you... Can''t we talk nicely? Why must you resort to violence?” Wlien the traditional medicine


    practitioner once again felt the iron grip squeezing liis nape, the gentleness in liis eyes slowly shifted


    into something vicious. "Jensen, don''t tell me you know what it is?”


    "Stop spewing nonsense! I want you to say it!” Jensen raised liis leg and kicked the old man’s calf,


    sending the old man kneeling on the ground. “Are you going to tell me?”


    "Fine. I''ll say it!** The traditional medicine practitioner raised his aims in surrender. Seeing him giving


    in. Jensen loosened the grip on the old man''s nape.


    "I think I don''t have to exin what that thing in Mis. Faymon''s body is since you already know.** the


    old man said as he looked over liis shoulder at Jensen. "That tiling has a smell that humans can''t


    detect, but there''s a cat that can catch its scent easily. That''s because that thing is a food source for


    Lyra, the cat.”


    Almost immediately. Jensen recalled the ck thing moving around the bushes the night before. "You


    mean that thing that attacked Curtisst night in the mountain?"’


    "Yes."’ the practitioner admitted with a nod. He wet liis lips before continuing. "The blood parasite


    nted in Mis. Faymon''s body needs to consume the carcass and blood of the male parasite to grow.


    while the male parasite requires to consume blood to grow.”


    "You don''t have to exin the specifics to me. I know about blood parasites better than you do!** Wlien


    Jensen connected the dots in liis mind, he interrupted the old man. "How did you get the cat?”


    "I picked it up from the streets more than a decade ago. I thought it was a stray kitten. Imagine my


    surprise when I noticed the irregrities of the kitten as it grew. I only found out the actual species of


    the cat through a quack doctor during my travels."’ the old man exined. The practitioner''s legs were


    turning numb after kneeling for a long period, so he asked. "Can you let me get up? My legs are numb.”


    Jensen lowered his head to look at the traditional medicine practitioner kneeling on the ground. Since


    the practitioner was an elder and they both worked for the same boss. Jensen figured it wouldn''t be


    good to have a fallout with the old man. so he released him.


    The practitioner got up from the floor and slowly walked over to the couch to take a seat. He bent down


    to smack his numb legs to get the blood flowing. Lifting his gaze to Jensen, he asked. "You... I guess


    you know Mis. Faynion from before?”


    "That is none of your business."’ Jensen shot the old man an icy nce before leaving the living room.


    Before he stepped over the threshold, he reminded. "Mr. Zeller has given his orders. The first SA


    products must be released onto the market before Glory''s new products, so the extracts must be


    completed by the end of this month. There isn''t much time left for you. Thus. I hope you don''t give me


    any more trouble!”


    Jensen left the mansion once he finished.


    At the same time. Rayna was standing behind the door in the second-floor bedroom. The door wasn''t


    fully closed, so she heard everything the two were talking about downstairs. Disbelief filled her at their


    conversation.


    Parasite? Blood parasite? What is that? Is... it those tilings I saw on TV or read in books? Parasite''s


    poison? There''s something like that inside me?


    The more she thought about it. the more she felt chills running down her spine. She started stroking her


    skin along her aims. body, and neck. Wlien her finger felt the lump on her neck, her hand paused.


    Her finger gently touched the lump. She could feel the sensation of the thing moving. Its movement


    was very slow. It paused and moved intermittently.


    Rayna''s face paled at the feeling. She wanted to grab onto the tiling on her neck. Wlien she put force


    into her grip, it disappeared. Rayna ran her fingers along her neck again, yet she didn''t feel anything


    but smooth skin.


    Has it run away? Or did it run to another part of my body? Rayna''s started touching every part of her


    body but didn''t feel the lump anywhere.


    Rayna mumbled. "Was it my illusion?”


    She was thinking of going back to bed. but a pair of rough hands grasped onto her wrist abruptly when


    her hand halted in midair. "Who is it?”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
