Chapter 5 The Thirteen Needles
Chapter 5 The Thirteen Needles
Calvin had checked out several apartments but Shirley hadn’t decided yet because of the rent.
Even though she had been cured, she was still weak and couldn’t work. So they had to live on a
budget.
Calvin didn’t want to disobey her and he swore to himself that he would make a lot of money to give her
the best life.
After finding a place for his mother to live, Calvin immediately went to the Houston family. Everyone
thought that he was the son-in-law of the Houston family. But to the Houstons, he was nothing but a
servant and they didn’t even need to pay him.
In the past few days, he didn’t come home very often so he couldn’t do the chores around the house.
He could anticipate how the Houstons were going to treat him.
Thank God his difficult mother-in-law Carrie Houston went to Oakshire for vacation with Rita, Calvin
wouldn’t need to suffer so much.
After gaining the power of Master Malandra, Calvin could feel his physical condition was a lot better.
In the past, he was constantly weak and got sweaty and puffy easily because he couldn’t have enough
food to eat. So the Houstons always mocked him and called him a “trophy wife”.
And now he had run ten miles and still hadn’t felt tired.
At the corner ahead, there were a bunch of crowds. Calvin went near and found out there had been a
car accident.
In front of a red Ferrari, an old man was lying on the ground. He had got a dent on his forehead and his
nose and mouth were bleeding heavily. His blood had stained the area nearby and he was about to die.
Next to this, there was a woman dressed in a pink uniform. She looked quite worried and was dialing Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
911.
The people around all sighed and shook their heads, “What a tragedy. The old man might not have a
chance to live.”
“Actually, they can’t blame it on that woman. The old man was a little deaf and that woman hit him only
because she was dodging another car that was running a red light.”
“Anyway, she’s in big trouble now. This might cost her at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
“You don’t need to worry for her. Look at that car. It’s way expensive than that.”
Calvin was looking on in the crowd. Someone next to him was pushing this way, “Excuse me, young
man.”
“Sir, I think you should better avoid this scene. It’s too much for you to watch.”
Calvin turned around and saw a slender old man with a tobacco pipe in his mouth. And the pipe was
very unique and was shaped like a bird.
“I know, I just wanna see how I died. That car was way too fast.”
Calvin swallowed a bit and was about to make some room for that old man. Then he knocked into a
middle-aged man.
“Stop pushing me. Why would a young man like you be here instead of your office?”
Calvin said quietly to him, “Sir, do you see an old man with a pipe in his mouth here? He’s standing
next to you.”
“What’s wrong with you? What old man?”
Calvin reached out his neck and looked ahead. The old man who was hit by the car was lying there
with a bird-shaped pipe in his hand.
And the old man next to him sighed and shook his head after seeing this, “Why a car accident? How
miserable is that! Well, I don’t wanna see this anymore. I’m gonna go on my way.”
His body began to fade like smoke in the air.
Calvin subconsciously grabbed his arm like the old man was real.
The old man was in shock, “Kid, you?”
Calvin calmed himself down. After he knew a few things about his supernatural power, he didn’t get
startled so easily.
What he was holding in his hand was the old man’s soul. Once the soul was gone, the man would
definitely be gone. What if he put his soul back into the man’s body? Would he come back to life?
He decided to give it a try.
The doctors had already covered the old man’s head with white cloth and was about to carry him into
the ambulance.
Calvin suddenly came forward and drew the doctors’ attention.
“Dude, what are you doing?”
Calvin lifted his right hand and looked very weird.
“I’m going to save him.”
The doctors looked at each other and questioned, “Save him? He’s already dead.”
Calvin ignored them and pushed the old man’s soul back into his body.
The soul lied down as he wished but was only flowing above the body and wouldn’t fall down.
Calvin put all his strength into this and made the soul intertwine with the right hand. After finished that,
he had been sweating and breathing sharply.
“What the hell are you doing?”
The woman who hit the man came and from her perspective, Calvin was being disrespectful to the old
man’s torso.
“I’m warning you, insulting a corpse is against the law!”
No matter what she said, Calvin completely ignored her.
Next to them, two doctors whispered to each other, “Is that the woman who hit the old man? This would
cost her a lot of money.”
“You don’t know who she is? She is the famous entrepreneur, Selena Bentley. The compensation is
nothing to her.”
Selena ignored their gossip and grabbed Calvin’s arm. She wanted to drag him away from the torso.
Calvin suddenly turned to her and yelled, “I need silver needles!”
“What?” Selena was stunned and let go of his arm subconsciously.
“Silver needles, the needles used in acupuncture.”
Calvin wanted to use the magic power of the Yin-Yang Compass. But the old man suffered multiple
fractures and his internal organs were shattered. By the time Calvin was here, he had been dead for a
while. He wanted to save him, but he didn’t have enough power of the white light because he had used
too much of it on his mom and himself.
The only solution was to use the Thirteen Needles from the Book of the Malandra.
When the Thirteen Needles were shown to the world, there wouldn’t be a single ghost that wasn’t in
awe.
But he was not a doctor so he didn’t have any silver needles on him.
Selena was intimidated by the look on his face which was unquestionably asserted.
“Give him the needles!”
The doctors hurriedly handed him the needles. Calvin calmed himself down even though this was the
first time for him to do acupuncture. Under the guidance of the Book of the Malandra, he placed the
needles on the old man’s chest one by one.
With every needle in place, the man soul was stuck to his body a little bit. And by the time the Thirteen
Needles were done, his soul was finally fully steady.
Calvin took a deep breath and was extremely exhausted.
He didn’t expect this to be so tiring.
Seeing that the old man’s chest was placed with so many needles and he hadn’t been awakened yet,
Selena thought Calvin was making a fool of them.
“You...you bastard!”
Regardless of her high heels, she kicked right towards his junk.
Calvin could sense that coming and grabbed her ankle at once.
Her legs were firm but not muscly. Her ankles were pretty and had no wrinkles on them, by which he
could tell she had done a lot of work to stay attractive.
“You...let go of me!”
No man had ever touched her ankles. But this jerk not only grabbed one of it, he also squeezed it
twice.
Calvin didn’t mean to take advantage of her. He was afraid that this might delay the treatment and they
would miss the window.
His left hand was still grabbing her ankle and his right hand smashed on the old man’s chest.
Bang! He smashed the old man so hard that everyone around them could hear the noises coming from
the man’s chest.
“This young man is way out of line. How could he do that?”
“This old man is miserable enough and that dude still did that to him. We have to call the cops.”
Just as Selena struggled out of his control and was going to kick this jerk’s ass, the old man on the
stretcher suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and opened his eyes.
“I’m...still alive.”
“Ah...”
