Chapter 1309

• Okpon seemed to be completely overcome with grief for his wife and child. He cried openly, almost collapsing under the weight of his emotions. But behind closed doors, he had quietly arranged for multiple exorcists to perform rituals to keep the spirits of his family away. He went to great lengths, performing ceremonies to ensure their souls wouldn’t haunt him.
• Juan, however, wasn't the type to be swayed by such superstitions. He didn’t believe in ghosts or spirits causing harm. In his mind, the dead couldn’t come back, and they couldn’t reveal the truth of the past. What was important to him was ensuring justice for those who had been wronged, especially those who were no longer here to tell their side of the story. He felt a deep sense of responsibility to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.
• After the charity event wrapped up, Juan quietly said his goodbyes to Okpon and left. As he walked away, Rendell stood in the corner, her eyes fixed on him. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he was different from the others. There was something in his eyes—a cold, unmistakable flash of hatred—that she recognized. It was like looking into a mirror, a reflection of herself. She quickly looked away, her heart racing with unease.
