Chapter 46 Thirty Thousand Dollars
This scene left everyone around in shock.
Everyone thought, 'It really worked; Mr. Hunt isn't a fraud but a master!'
“Storm's fury, crash and crush! Earth's Wrath, rise and hush!”
Walter stood among the crowd and said calmly, "Mr. Hunt has the power of nature. Just wait, it won't be long before the poisonous insects suddenly die, and the one who cast the curse will face the consequences."
Hearing this, the surrounding people's eyes widened even more.
Especially Logan and Hayden, who were trembling with excitement. The situation before them was a miracle for others, but for them, it meant getting billions of dollars!
How could they not be excited!
Mr. Hunt suddenly stopped his gestures and stomped heavily on the ground, "Reveal!"
As he spoke, poisonous insects crawled out everywhere, densely packed and making people's scalps tingle. But as warned before, no one was allowed to move, so they didn't dare to!
Inside the office, Sophia was watching the scene live through her phone. She asked in a low voice, "Fergus, aren't you going to apologize? You saw Mr. Hunt's methods; he can really take your life!"
Fergus leaned back in his office chair and said indifferently, "He better come quickly; I can't wait."
Her face grew colder; this guy just wouldn't give in!
Looking at the screen, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes. But then, she suddenly realized something was wrong. She was actually worried about Fergus?
She shook her head, knowing why. It wasn't concern; she was just worried that if he suddenly died, she wouldn't be able to rip off his fake mask.
She angrily said, "I'm giving you a chance!"
Fergus, annoyed by her, said, "Are you leaving or not?"
She gritted her teeth and replied, "I'll leave when I see you fall!"
He sneered, dipped his finger in some water from a cup, and wrote a spell on the desk. After finishing, he wiped it off and closed his eyes to rest.
"What are you doing?"
She didn't understand and frowned, but Fergus didn't respond. She turned back to the screen, her mouth agape in shock.
In Plot 140, countless poisonous insects seemed to be controlled. They suddenly rushed toward Mr. Hunt from all directions.
People cheered silently, 'It's starting!'
Everyone's eyes lit up simultaneously. Walter had said these poisonous insects would suddenly die, and now they were moving together, they must be nearing death!
"Everyone, watch closely. Mr. Hunt is about to break the curse!"
Walter said proudly, also looking ahead.
The poisonous insects got closer and closer to Mr. Hunt.
Closer and closer!
As they approached, everyone's hearts raced. This scene was too miraculous; they must not miss a single detail!
Soon, the insects reached Mr. Hunt.
However, they didn't stop, climbing onto him. In just a few seconds, Mr. Hunt was engulfed by the insects, no longer visible.
"This..."
Everyone was a bit confused and looked at Walter and mused, 'Didn't he say the insects would die? Why did it look like the insects were going to eat Mr. Hunt?'
Walter said mysteriously, "I believe it won't be long before these insects die!"
"Ah..."
Just as he finished speaking, Mr. Hunt screamed miserably, "Help me, save me! If you don't save me, I'll be bitten to death! Hurry, save me!"
Mr. Hunt had tried to hold back, but hundreds of bites all over his body were unbearable.
Gah!
Everyone was dumbfounded and questioned in mind, 'Was that Mr. Hunt's voice?'
Walter frowned and said disdainfully, "It seems the person who cast the curse has some skill; he can even mimic Mr. Hunts voice. Everyone, don't move. Once you step into the plot, Mr. Hunt's power..."
Mr. Hunt interrupted before Walter could finish, "I am Mr. Hunt! Save me, hurry!"
Saying this, he realized he couldn't wait passively. He used all his strength to run toward the crowd, thinking he shouldn't be the only victim!
"Damn!"
Everyone watched as a mass of insects approached, all scared out of their wits.
"Don't be afraid!"
Walter spoke again, loudly, "Don't be afraid. This is the last struggle of the one who cast the curse. He's at the end of his rope. Don't be afraid, don't... Damn!"
Seeing the insects rushing toward him, he couldn't hold on any longer.
He turned and ran!
"Run!"
"What kind of master is he? He's a fraud!"
"Run!"
Thousands of people started running for their lives.
Logan and Hayden were no exception. At this moment, who cared about their image? Survival was the priority!
"This... how could this happen!" Sophia watched the screen, stunned.
She had seen the insects scattering when Mr. Hunt entered. Now, why were the insects attacking people?
She suddenly looked at Fergus, "Is this your doing?"
Fergus said indifferently, "You can leave now."
"You...!" She felt angrier than ever and thought, 'Is this all he could say?'
She stood up angrily, "Fergus, mark my words. One day, I'll personally tear off your mask!"
He said, "If you don't leave, I'll tear off your clothes."
Sophia was stunned, recalling something. He had stripped her naked and touched her all over!
She gritted her teeth. "You'll regret this!"
With that, she turned and left.
As she reached the door, he reminded her, "Tell Hayden, I can offer $30,000 for the land; not a penny more!"
At Plot 140, Mr. Hunt ran out of the place, and the insects scattered. He was covered in thousands of bites.
However, he was safe. Hurting someone fatally would harm Fergus's own luck.
"What... what is going on? Is the person who cast the curse more powerful than you?"
"Mr. Hunt, say something. Can you handle this or not?"
Hayden and Logan were anxious. After this mess, the land's notoriety was even worse.
"Mr. Hunt..." Walter was also devastated. To him, Mr. Hunt was the best.
"Wrong!" Mr. Hunt stood with his hands behind his back, his lips swollen like sausages, and said mysteriously, "It was wrong from the start. This land isn't cursed; it's a deadly poisonous land!"
"Huh?"
Everyone was puzzled and thought, 'Deadly poisonous land? Is he making excuses because he couldn't win?'
Bang!
Mr. Hunt ignored them, knelt on the ground, and said to the plot, "Thank you for your mercy. If it weren't for you, I'd be six feet under by now. It was my mistake to offend you. I am sorry!"
After saying this, he kowtowed heavily.
Then he stood up and said, "Gentlemen, just now, I fought a battle with fate. You saw the result. Frankly, this land is a deadly poisonous land. Not to mention developing it, even stepping on it is difficult!"
"You should stay as far away as possible. You can't go against fate!"
With that, he turned and left.
"Mr. Hunt, don't leave!" Logan quickly asked, still confused.
Mr. Hunt didn't respond, walking faster. He had to go to the hospital.
Hayden also wanted to chase after him, but after a few steps, he saw Sophia return and asked in a low voice, "Did you go see Fergus?"
No one knew her better than him, already guessing what she did.
Sophia was stunned, then nodded.
Hayden asked urgently, "What did he say?"
"He said he'd buy the land for $30,000!"
