    Chapter 1039 The Fight for Treasure


    The enchanting youngdy was none other than Charmine, the girl Matthew had previously captured.


    She had rushed over to the building right after she escaped from The Grand Pavilion. However, she


    had gotten a seizure the moment she walked into the house. She copsed onto the ground and was


    unable to speak at all. Crow and the other three of them had no idea what had happened to her.


    With his brows tightly knitted, Crow attempted all sorts of methods to treat Charmine. But his efforts


    didn’t seem to lessen her pain, not even by a little bit. Crow gritted his teeth when he noticed that


    Charmine seemed increasingly agonized. Finally, he pulled out a rather antique-looking box from one


    of his pockets.


    The other three people were shocked when they saw the box. “What are you doing, Master Crow?”


    Crow red at them. “Stop asking stupid questions. What do you think I’m doing?”


    “Th-This is a precious treasure handed down to us by our ancestors. You can’t use it just like that!” one


    of the men cried. “Charmine looks like she’s in a lot of pain, but it’s probably due to some curse, Master


    Crow. We can still think of other ways to save her. If nothing works, we can just send her back to


    Orleans for Lord Voodoo to save her!”


    Crow shook his head. “No. She isn’t just in a lot of pain. Don’t you guys realize? Her skin is starting to


    turn pale and even a little translucent. This is a sign that all the curse powder she has used throughout


    these years is counter-attacking her body right now. She must have encountered a really powerful


    person—there aren’t many people who can destroy all of the years she put into her curse powder.


    Once the curse powder spreads to her entire body, she’ll be gone!”


    The other three men became worried and one cried out loud. “I-Is there some secret method to this?


    How could this be possible? Why haven’t I heard of such methods?”


    “That’s because this secret method hasn’t surfaced in a very long time,” Crow replied grimly. “I


    remember seeing it in the n’s records, but I can’t believe we actually encountered someone as


    powerful as this. It seems like the n’s elders were right—the world is huge, and there’ll always be


    someone more powerful than you. We shouldn’t have thought too highly of ourselves!” Crow let out a


    sigh as he opened the wooden box and took out a softgel capsule sealed in its packet.


    He really didn’t want to use the capsule, but he eventually came to his decision. “Open her mouth!” he


    hissed. The other three men exchanged nces as they all hesitated for a moment. The softgel


    capsule consisted of their n’s resurrection charm. It was passed down from each generation to the


    next in order to ensure the longevity of the n leaders. The resurrection charm had been passed


    down for hundreds of years and had been in the hands of a few generations of n leaders.


    The n leader brought the capsules around as the capsules were also helpful for them to improve


    their skills. If things went ording to n, one of the three men in the room would inherit the


    resurrection charm. However, the n’s prized possession would be gone if Crow gave the resurrection


    charm to Charmine.


    If that happens, we won’t get the most important thing even if we inherit the role as n leader. What


    would we be left with then? “W-Why don’t we think of another n, Master Crow? This is the n’s


    treasure we’re talking about. What are people going to think of our n if we lose this?!” one of the


    men growled in a deep voice. The other two quickly stepped forward to back him up.


    Charmine was lying on the ground. Although she was in a lot of pain, she could still hear their words


    clearly. Her heart ached as she listened to their conversation. You only know who truly cares for you


    during a critical situation like this. They used to say that I was like a younger sister to them… All of that


    didn’t mean a thing at all! Master Crow is the only one who cares for me!Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    Crow’s expression darkened. “This resurrection charm is meant for saving people. Are you guys just


    going to sit around and watch Charmine die? Alright. Stop talking nonsense. Open her mouth!” he


    cried.


    All three of them clenched their jaws as they all refused to make a move. Crow was fuming and


    trembling with rage at this point, but he naturally understood what his disciples were thinking about.


    Crow was just about to make a move when someone swooshed past them. Before Crow could give any


    form of response, he realized that the resurrection charm had been snatched from his hand. Surprised,


    he looked up to see that the person was none other than Matthew!
