Chapter 91

The livestream chat exploded in an instant.

[Medicinal charm? Is this for real?]

[No way, this is straight out of fantasy!]

[Look at Daniel’s face—he’s already recovering! The effect is instant!]

Then, a bold message flashed across the screen:

[I’m a med student. After sharing the academic charm, I jumped from the bottom to the top ten in finals!]

Like a floodgate opening, the chat went wild.

[Same! I actually passed physics for once!]

[I aced my math exam!]

[I got every English listening question right!]

Out of three thousand who shared the charm, over two thousand came forward with proof—some posting before-and-after grades, others their rank improvements. The most shocking was a chronic failure who somehow landed in the top fifty.

[Where are the haters now? Cat got your tongue?]

[LOL, bet they secretly shared it too!]

Meanwhile, in a luxury apartment, Liam Parker hurled his phone against the wall. "Useless idiots! Can’t even trash-talk when paid!"

Back in the livestream, the mood had shifted entirely.

[Lucy, please share more charms!]

[I need a love charm!]

[Give us a wealth charm!]

[A weight-loss charm, please!]

The chat became a unified plea: Thousands beg for talismans!

Deep in the island’s wilderness, at the Black Horizon Syndicate’s base, Ian Stone stared at his screen, fingertips brushing Lucy’s profile picture.

"What’s got you so captivated?" a teasing voice came from behind.

Ian instantly locked his phone, gaze sharp. "Mind your own business."

Elsewhere in the forest, the mouth of a cave wafted with savory aromas. Lucy was teaching her students how to prepare ingredients when Hank Cooper signaled her outside.

In private, Hank lowered his voice. "Lily Green just met with a man named Ian Stone."

Lucy arched a brow. "Oh?"

"They seemed… close," Hank said with a meaningful look. "And she’s egging him on to cause trouble for you."

Lucy smirked. "Noted."

Back inside, the students devoured their meal around the campfire.

"This is amazing!"

"Way better than yesterday!"

After eating, someone asked, "Are we moving out today?"

Hank glanced at Daniel. "Special circumstances. We’re staying the night."

As darkness fell, the production crew cut the livestream, citing signal issues.

Lily fidgeted, her eyes darting toward the cave entrance.

Clap! Hank suddenly silenced the group.

Footsteps echoed faintly outside.

Everyone tensed.

"Could it be the crew?" someone whispered.

Hank’s voice was grim. "Stay alert. This isn’t friendly."

In the shadows, Lucy tightened her grip on the talisman hidden in her sleeve.
