Harry was shocked. “She’s Viola’s apprentice?”
More than a decade had passed since Viola had left Jipsburg. Even now, no one knew where she was. When he’d invited those divination masters to his house, he’d hoped Viola could come.
It was a pity none of them had news of Viola.
“Yes, I learned from Grandma Viola as a kid. However, I’ve only partially mastered her
skills.”
Harry nodded and said, “I can tell you’ve been an apprentice under her since you were young. Is this tiny figurine really the source of our misfortune?”
Skylar nodded and said seriously, “Indeed, this figurine is behind all that. It contains powerful black magic. It aims to murder the Solarius children.”
“What?” Harry stumbled backward.
Alexander caught him in time before he could fall.
Alexander’s face had paled too. He asked, “Is it more powerful than any artifact you’ve seen?”
“Yeah,” Skylar replied. She pulled a pair of gloves out from her bag and put them on. Then, she placed the phoenix figurine in her palm to scrutinize it.
If one didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t realize the mysterious patterns covering the figurine. It looked ominous, as though it were the symbol of an ancient curse.
Skylar’s expression changed. Her palm turned cold abruptly. Before she lost consciousness, she screamed a reminder, “Don’t touch it! Cover it with a box!”
As Skylar collapsed, the figurine slipped out of her palm.
Alexander and Harry exclaimed at the same time, “Skye!”
Joe had been checking through some files As he signed his name on a document, his heart squeezed painfully. He immediately frowned.
The pain lasted briefly before disappearing as though what had happened was an illusion.

“Mr. Martin?”
One of the departmental heads had come in to pass Joe a document. When he saw Joe’s frown, his heart leaped into his throat. He stared at Joe nervously. Each time he came to see Joe was a test of his courage. With his anxiety, he felt like a heart attack was imminent.
Joe looked up at him. Then, he signed the document expressionlessly before passing it back to him.
His heart fell back into his chest. He’d been scared to death! Thankfully, there weren’t any problems.
After he walked out, Joe received a call. He glanced at the caller ID, only to find it was Alexander.
He accepted the call and greeted, “Mr. Gardner Senior.”
Shouldn’t he be with Skylar in Liberty County at Harry’s house? Why was Alexander calling him?
Joe furrowed his brows. He had a bad feeling about what was to come.
