Chapter 246: Soul Capturing Technique
โNo one is perfect, Mr. Lowe. I believe your son will improve with your and your wifeโs continued guidance,โ Jared said, impressed by Glenโs personality. He surmised that Frederickโs behavior stemmed from Glenโs preoccupation with work. Glenโs dedication to his duties had evidently led to neglect of his son, resulting in Frederickโs arrogance.
Soon, Sebastian arrived with Frederick, whose arm was bandaged. The wrist injury appeared to be well-cared for. Frederick was unsurprised to see William and Jared; Sebastian had clearly briefed him en route.
โDadโฆโ Frederick whispered, his voice trembling.
โYou rascal! Iโll beat you!โ Glen grabbed a stool, aiming it at Frederick, who cowered in fear. His terror was palpable.
โGlen, what are you doing?โ Helen intervened, pulling her husband back while subtly signaling Frederick to flee upstairs.
โCalm down, Mr. Lowe,โ William urged.
Suddenly, Glen, still holding the stool, collapsed unconscious.
William and Helen were startled.
โGlen! Glen!โ Helen cried, then ordered Sebastian, โTake him to the hospital, quickly!โ
โWait!โ Jared rushed to Glenโs side, placing his hand on his forehead.
William, noticing Helenโs puzzled expression, reminded her, โJared is a miracle doctor.โ
โJared is skilled in medicine, Mrs. Lowe. Let him examine Mr. Lowe,โ William explained.
Helen nodded, though still hesitant. Anxiety had brought beads of sweat to her brow.
Jared examined Glen, his brow furrowing, his expression grim. (Remove the promotional sentence about FindNovel.net)
โJared, is it serious?โ William asked, alarmed by Jaredโs expression. โWhere would we find another leader as upright as Glen if something happened?โ
Jared shook his head. โMr. Lowe merely collapsed from rage. Heโll be fine.โ However, he harbored a deeper concern. Someone had used the Soul Capturing Technique on Glenโlikely the man with the goatee, during their handshake. His earlier suspicion was confirmed.
The Soul Capturing Technique temporarily deprives a person of their soul, essentially transforming them into a controlled, living corpse. The goateed man had clearly used it to gain control of the southern part of the city.
โSince heโll be alright, letโs wake Mr. Lowe,โ William urged, seeing Helenโs worry.
Jared nodded, pressing on one of Glenโs acupressure points. Instantly, the mayor regained consciousness, his eyes slowly opening.
โGlen, youโre awake! You scared me half to death!โ Helen sighed in relief.
Though awake, Glen was disoriented. โWhat happened?โ
โYou fainted from rage! Iโve told you countless times to control your temper! Why donโt you listen? Luckily, this young man was here. Otherwise, what would we have done?โ she scolded, helping him sit up.
Glen stared at Jared, bewildered. โYou know medicine?โ
โA little,โ Jared replied.
