Chapter 48 - 48 046 Transaction
?Chapter 48: Chapter 046: Transaction Chapter 48: Chapter 046: Transaction A massive collapse had occurred, and firefighters arrived quickly.
Albert Webb was also stopped for questioning.
“Meow.”
A low meow came from the feet of Madison Webb.
She was startled, standing on high ground.
Looking down at the black cat that suddenly appeared, her first impression was inauspicious.
“Get lost.”
“Meow.”
The cat meowed even lower.
“Go away.”
Madison Webb’s voice was irritable.
“Meow.”
The cat’s calls became more vicious.
It leisurely circled around Madison Webb, and her face darkened as ferocity flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly.
She felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.
“Meow…”The cat’s cry dragged on.
“It’s you.”
Madison Webb saw Chloe Stephens and was slightly relieved.
Chloe just stared at her.
Madison Webb’s smile slowly froze on her face.
The girl’s gaze showed no emotion, and her calm face seemed to carry a hint of murderous intent.
“Meow!”
The black cat stared behind Madison Webb, its body suddenly arched, its fur standing on end, and teeth bared with a low growl of warning.
Its eyes darkened.
“What are you doing?” Madison Webb’s face changed drastically as she saw the black cat dashing forward.
“Meow.”
Its cry became fierce.
“Witchcraft?” The girl’s cold voice echoed.
“How do you…” know.
As Madison Webb snapped her head back to face Chloe, her face became even more unattractive, and horror flickered in her eyes.
“Ancient European centuries indeed have a lot of these black magic things, over there, it’s your connection with the other party.”
A trace of panic flashed through Madison Webb’s eyes.
How did she know!
The black cat suddenly dashed forward.
“Bang!”
The black cat was suddenly hit by something and slammed heavily into the trash can.
It shook off the dirt on its body and rocked its somewhat dizzy head.
Chloe watched with interest.
“You’re quite talented.”
Madison Webb’s eyes changed when she looked at Chloe, “Who are you exactly, and how do you know about these things.”
“Your ancestor.”
Madison Webb felt offended by the girl’s words.
“Chloe Stephens, you better not be nosy,” Madison Webb took out a potion from her body, but before she could open the cap, it was snatched by the black cat.
“Pop.”
The dark blue potion bottle was smashed.
Madison Webb covered her nose, wanting to say something, but her eyes went dark, and she fainted.
The black cat jumped over and gently sniffed the potion.
“Meow.”
“No need to sniff, it’s a drug to erase marks,” Chloe took out a pill and gave it to the black cat.
“Meow.”
Having eaten the pill, the cat staggered forward like a drunk.
Chloe kicked the unresponsive Madison Webb and took out a wooden plaque as a medium from a nearby car, crushing it into ashes.
“Land of the Prophet.”
As soon as the words fell, she waved her hand.
The utility knife in the car flew towards Madison Webb’s heart, warm blood flowing from the incision.
The wobbly cat followed behind the girl with an S-shaped wag, slowly walking away.

Stephens family.
Lily Taylor was taking Jeremy Jennings’ pulse.
Ancient martial artists received special treatment, and she frequently visited the Stephens and Fisher families lately.
“How is it?”
Jeremy Jennings asked anxiously.
Lily Taylor raised an eyebrow, “Let me give you another acupuncture.”
“Can I ever fully recover?”
Jeremy Jennings’ voice was somewhat impatient.
Proud as she was, Lily Taylor didn’t take him seriously and went ahead to get the needle and gave him an acupuncture.
Jeremy Jennings held back his anger.
“Uncle Jennings, it’s best not to utilize ancient martial arts recently, as blockage might occur at any time.”
“With so many physicians in the Taylor family, is there really no solution?” Jeremy cursed the quack in his heart.
“The best medical skills in the Taylor family are limited to a few people.
My Second Grandfather and I travel all over the place to solve various difficult cases.
We’re encountering a situation like this for the first time, so you must give us some time.”
A lack of medical skills was just that; yet they still spoke of giving time.
Back when they treated Chloe, they had the same excuse.
Jeremy Jennings was irritated.
Lily Taylor’s eyes moved slightly, asking, “If Uncle Jennings is willing to tell us what happened at that time, perhaps I can find a more appropriate method.”
Jeremy Jennings couldn’t help but become cautious.
The actions of the Stephens and Fisher families were not meant to be revealed to others.
So they kept silent about the matters of the ancestral temple.
“It’s the backlash.”
Seeing that Jeremy Jennings did not want to speak, Lily Taylor left with her medical kit.

The Third Gate.
Rowan Stephens was waiting for Lily Taylor.
“Miss Taylor.”
Lily Taylor glanced at her assistant and had him take her medical kit back to the car first.
“What is it?”
“I remember some time ago, your Taylor Family also went to mountain county.”
Lily Taylor corner of the mouth hooked up a knowing smile, “You want to ask about Chloe Stephens.”
Rowan Stephens slightly restrained his expression, “You know my situation in the Stephens Family.”
“So what?”
“Miss Taylor, I want to make a deal with you.”
“What can you give me?” Lily Taylor was only interested in benefits.
“The ancient secret manual of the Stephens Family.”
“What do you need me to do?”
“After my people entered the mountain county, there was no news.
I’d like to ask Miss Taylor to find out if there is someone from my stepfather’s side guarding Chloe Stephens.” Otherwise, it would be impossible to disappear for no reason.
Lily Taylor nodded, “Just this.”
“If possible, please also ask Miss Taylor to use some special methods to remove the obstacles without leaving any traces.”
Using medicine, the Taylor Family is the most skilled.
“It’s just a waste, no need to be scrupulous.”
“Many times it is because we overlook so-called wastes that accidents happen.
As the future leader of the Stephens Family, I can’t afford any mistakes.”
Lily Taylor said, “I want the Stephens Family’s Treasury copy of ‘Thirteen Needles’.”
“‘Thirteen Needles’ is already incomplete.
Your Stephens Family’s copy should be more complete than the Taylor Family’s.”
“I only want ‘Thirteen Needles’.
Find a way to get it out.
I’ll go to the mountain county again in three days.
Take action upon seeing the book.”

There have been many recent online news about the first-tier martial arts star William Coleman.
William Coleman.
An international action star.
Handsome, good acting skills, and courageous.
No scandal since his debut.
A model actor.
Not many can be called actors.
At such a young age, William Coleman had performed in many TV dramas.
Whether it was modern dramas or fantasy, his fighting scenes brought a visual impact to the audience!
And he was handsome.
Such an actor, unexpectedly, would be attacked in revenge, which shocked everyone.
[Wasn’t Davin said to be skilled in martial arts?
How could he be beaten so badly?
I heard he was even disfigured and hospitalized.]
[What a joke!
Do you think this is a martial arts film?
He knows martial arts?]
[The media can’t get in.
I don’t know how he’s doing.]
[I’m really worried that Davin will leave the entertainment industry.
Please don’t be disfigured.]
[Aren’t you guys worried about his actual situation?
Who exactly beat him into the hospital?]
[I heard that even his agent was beaten.]
[Could it be revenge from peers?
Davin may be strong, but he can’t fight dozens or even hundreds of people.]
[Poor Davin.]
[The evildoers must be punished severely.]
[Isn’t the police going to file a case for such a big incident?]
[Some sources infiltrated the hospital and got first-hand news that William Coleman hasn’t reported to the police at all.
I don’t know what he’s thinking.]
[Someone must be jealous of Davin’s stardom and attacked him secretly.]
[Davin must have been threatened by the other party not to report to the police.]
[There must be a big BOSS behind the scenes…]
Lying in the hospital, William Coleman scrolled through these comments.
It’s been so long and it still hasn’t subsided.
His situation was special, so his recovery was good, and his face was fine.
But his agent was suffering.
“The company is handling it.
Don’t show your face for now.”
His agent lay on the hospital bed, still sounding a bit weak.
William Coleman gripped his mobile phone tightly, “I got you into this.”
“Don’t do anything foolish.”
The agent saw the fleeting viciousness in William Coleman’s eyes and reminded him not to ruin his own acting career.
William Coleman almost crushed his mobile phone before he restrained his anger, “What about the response online?”
“Wait for the heat to die down, and then we’ll respond.”
“Is it really okay to just leave it like this?
Next week, my new TV series will start shooting.
How do we explain it to Director Zeigler?”
“Just follow the process.
This incident will not affect your show.”
“I hope so,” he didn’t come out to clarify the situation now, and Director Zeigler thought it was some personal grudge.
Director Zeigler might be wary of such trouble.
It’s fine if it’s just Director Zeigler, but it would be bad if others also thought that way.

Albert Webb waited for a long time before he saw Chloe Stephens return.
He rushed up, but before he could say anything, the girl asked coldly, “What’s the background of your sister?”
“???”
How did the topic turn to Madison Webb?
Chloe Stephens stared at him.
Albert Webb scratched his head and explained, “Actually, I don’t know much about it either.
A few years ago, my parents suddenly brought a girl back from abroad.
You’ve seen it too, right?
Madison has a bit of mixed-blood appearance.
According to my parents, she’s an abandoned orphan.”
Chloe Stephens nodded and walked away.
Albert Webb, with a puzzled expression, was just about to catch up when he received a call from his aunt.
