Living With My Lady Boss

Wilbur shook his head. Santino looked at Wilbur with teary eyes.

Jean instantly looked disappointed. He was afraid that there would be no solutions if the legendary Trevor Penn could not help his father.

'Perhaps Trevor Penn doesn't live up to his name?' Jean wondered.

He felt bad to have given his family heirloom away.

That was a precious item that his grandfather treasured his whole life.

However, Wilbur slowly entered the father's mind with his spirit energy.

Compared to Wilbur's own consciousness, which was as vast as the sea, Jean's father had a consciousness the size of a lake.

Wilbur's spirit soon appeared next to Mister Zander's soul flame.

The soul flame was the size of a bean, and it was unstable, seemingly ready to go out at any time.

The soul flame was surrounded by gray runes that emitted gray mists. They kept eating away at the soul flame.

Wilbur observed the runes carefully, then backed away with his consciousness after a long while.

"I found the cause," said Wilbur slowly.

Jean instantly asked, "What is it?"

"Your father is cursed," replied Wilbur.

"Cursed?" Jean looked shocked.

Wilbur explained slowly, "It's not a surprise. A curse is the best way to kill someone without leaving a trace. Medical professionals can't detect it. Cultivators without a powerful spirit energy won't be able to find it either, and they won't be able to undo the curse."

"Do you know how to undo the curse?" Jean was clearly very nervous.

Wilbur shook his head and replied, "I don't have the solution."

The person who placed the curse was required to undo the curse. The forceful removal of a curse was very dangerous.

Jean instantly looked disappointed.

He wondered whether it was hopeless even if they discovered the cause.

Just then, Wilbur said, "Don't worry. The person who placed the curse can undo it."

"But who is the person who placed the curse? How do we get them to undo the curse?" asked Jean with a puzzled face.

'Why would the person who placed the curse on my father be willing to help undo it? Also, we don't even know who that person is,' Jean thought.

Wilbur said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. The person who placed the curse will appear. I also have another solution even if they won't undo the curse."

"Another solution?" asked Jean bafflingly.

Wilbur nodded and replied, "Yes, I can transfer the curse to someone else. Can you find someone like that?"

Jean fell silent. He wondered who would be willing to take on a deadly curse like that.

Suddenly, Santino said, "I'm willing to do it. Sir, if you are capable of doing that, I'm willing to take on the curse."

Wilbur looked at Santino, then smiled and said, "It looks like you're very loyal."

"I am grateful toward Mister Zander, and I'll do anything for him to wake up again," said Santino while he looked at Wilbur with great determination.

Wilbur looked at him and said slowly, "You'll die."

"I know, but I don't care," Santino replied.

Jean looked troubled because his father could wake up if Santino took the curse upon himself.

However, it was unfair to Santino.noveldrama

He was still young, after all. He was also a powerful Ambience level cultivator, so he had a bright future ahead.

Moreover, he had a family.

Jean wondered how he could ever face Santino's parents, wife, and children if that happened.

It seemed like there was no other way.

He had no clue who placed the curse on his father, after all.
