Idris Point of View

Hemorrhoids?

What fouly!

I thought I was the only one but looking at the group of people who had gone through worse, I realized that I was not the only victim.

"Then what is this charm for?" I pulled out the wooden piece I received from her a week ago and showed it.

The already pale face of her turned almost invisible and when she saw the charm in my hand, she started to bite her lip guiltily.

Alright, you demonic amulet spirit!

You gave me a wrong charm too, didn't you?

"What is this charm for, Miss Esteemed Fairy?" The more polite my words and tone are, the angrier I am and as many colors are flashing on her face.

"Come on, Handsome Bud, why are you making me so Esteemed! We are friends, aren't we?" Demonic amulet girl laughed awkwardly as she tried to skip over the landmine, she planted herself in. "Leave it. Come in, do you want to eat my specialty carrot fluffy cake? I made it this morning."

"What is this amulet for?" I pressed and asked in a very serious manner.

However, serious I am, I still have a hope in me that she would tell me that she gave me the right amulet. I hope she only made one mistake with Mr. Frank and the group.

I sincerely hoped there were no more victims and I was definitely not one of them.

"It was an amulet."

"I figured it out. Tell me what kind of amulet this is." The more she avoided answering, the more it confirmed to me that this is no normal charm at all.

Otherwise...

Otherwise, how can he get to the state he is in now!

Her friends, who were trying to save her from Mr. Frank and group are now silent when I am questioning and are trying their best to reduce their presence.

"It is a resentment charm." She spoke in a mosquito voice but thankfully, I have a good hearing.

"A resentment charm? What is that?"

"It gathers all the resentment that the possessor of the charm caused to others. It uses that resentment to teach the possessor a life lesson so that he will not do anything bad to others in future." What a big plan!

What a big trap!

I immediately tossed the wooden charm away and took out small sanitizer bottle from my pocket, sanitized my hands and wiped it clean with a handkerchief.

Strange, is it some psychological effect or what? I still feel unclean.

"Hehe, you are worrying pointlessly. How can this charm effect you? You are so great that you could not have given people a chance to resent you. You are a lion among people's jungle. You are a Rose among the people's flowerbed. You are a Durian of people's orchard. You are –"

"And I am a fool on people's earth."

"Yes, that's right." She happily nodded and exclaimed in accordance. Then suddenly, when she felt a nudge from her friend Via, she frowned for a second and her eyes widened as big as a biggest durian.

My sarcasm... the sarcasm I'm so proud of, did not work on her?

Holly Hell!

"No... Oh! no, you are not. You are not a fool. You can't be. How can you be the only fool on this whole planet?" She hurried said after realizing her mistake but the more she talked, the more I want to tie her into a bundle and just – I don't know.

I can't hit her; I'm a gentleman after all.

I can't swear at her; I'm a gentleman after all.

I can't smack some senses into her; I'm a gentleman after all.

I can't do anything to shut her up; I'm a gentleman after all.

Why the hell am I a gentleman?

For the first time in my life, I feel like being a gentleman is curse; being a gentleman is a shackle and being a gentleman is a terrible.

"Do you know what your charm has done?" I gritted, trying very hard to ignore her earlier statement.

So, am I one of the many fools on the planet?

Can't she at least think before she says something – at least when she is in a quagmire?

"I'm sorry, Mister but I need her to deal with our damages first." Mr. Frank, the neighbor victim spoke politely and then turned to her with red devil like eyes.

"What kind of fairy are you claiming to be? You must give an explanation and compensation to me. I want solution for the blood flow your charm has caused." Mr. Frank, looking quite dull and pale, demanded.

He is obviously not feeling well!

She made a nice healthy man into a sick withering twig.

What kind of staggering power is this?

Vivia and Orion came to show their presence again. "Mr. Frank, we know you suffered, but you cannot say that whatever happened to you is all because a small charm given to you, right? Do you still believe magic and things like this?" Orion put forth his argument very politely, trying to shift the blame from the demonic spirit girl.

But who is this demonic spirit girl who falsely claims to be a Fairy?

"Of course, all my charms work well. Oreo, you can insult me but not the power of my charms!"

What a stupid, idiotic girl!

If I were her friend, I would've given up on her long back ago. I'm surprised with her luck that she could still retain two very genuine best friends.

"Can you please shut up?" This time, not just Via but even the very calm and kind Oreo gritted his teeth from annoyance.

Seeing this, I nudged Owen and whispered softly to him, "Make an appointment with best doctors in Valen healthcare center and have Vivia and Orion go through full body checkup. Invite a psychiatrist to help in maintaining the mental health of these two. They need it fiercely."

I also have another thought in mind, all the Valen employees, from a bottom position to the highest designation, would get their checkup on company expenses, once a year.

I want to make a special exception for these two. They will get their health checkups twice a year.

They need it. Absolutely!

"You have seen her, Mr. Frank. She is a little stupid and has no filters on her mouth. She is still naïve. You cannot believe in her and her amulets completely." Oreo tried to reconcile the victim party yet again.

That's true. Demonic spirit girl is stupid.

"She agreed herself that this is an amulet that gives the bearer temporary hemorrhoids. I started having hemorrhoids two days after I got this amulet. Is she really that stupid and powerless?"

Fair enough!

Mr. Frank's argument is not only strong but very evidential and reasonable.

"Coincidence. It's a coincidence. But since such a coincidence happened from our end, we will compensate you with –" Before Oreo could complete his negotiation, he was interrupted by someone that shouldn't talk for a while for her own good.

"- with an amulet that cures all kinds of health issues and makes a person as healthy as a healthy horse."

Again?

Another amulet?

Will this never end?

What is she planning this time? Will she give that poor man something bigger?

"Do I look like a fool to you? Will I ever believe in your amulets again? If I did, then I will be worse than virus." Mr. Frank yelled, pointing an accusing finger at demonic spirit girl.

"Zeph, go inside. We will deal with this for you. Please, I beg you." Via, literally begged her but who is this demonic fairy?

Will she ever listen to anyone?

"Via, I earned my money in a clean manner and I will not pay a penny to him as compensation. It's still a compensation if I give him a health amulet. This is considered an act of kindness from my end for unfortunate coincidences that happened."

Shameless!

Utterly shameless!

"Fine, you don't believe me, right? In that case, let me show you." She arrogantly walked to the corner of the room where small, polished but uncarved wooden pieces are stacked up.

She took out a small carving knife and carved something on it for about three to four minutes and then shoved it in the hands of Mr. Frank.

Putting the fresh carved wooden dump on Mr. Frank's palm, she laid her own over it and closed her eyes as if channeling some kind of energy.

That looked so funny!

She looked exactly like a professional swindler who cannot act well.

Mr. Frank, having experienced once, tried to take his hand away from hers but she held it so tightly that his strength mattered nothing.

She is stronger than me. What is old, puny Mr. Frank?

"Alright. Your hemorrhoids are treated. You are healthy and more vital than when you are in your youth."

When Mr. Frank was about to talk back and refuse to believe, she put the final nail on him. "If you are still not treated, then I will really give you monetary compensation."

And that trick did it.

After dealing with him, she turned to me and smiled flatteringly. "Mr. Handsome Bud, what happened to you."

"Nothing." Hearing this, she sighed in relief. "But a spy of my rival who is working in my company stole the amulet you gave me and gave it to my rival."

"Oh!" Is she sympathizing or not?

What does that 'Oh' means?

"And he is in ICU right now. He suddenly misstep on his own foot, rolled down the stairs, hit his head against the granite railing, fell on a lit candle causing his hair to catch fire and bald half of his head and nearby vase – due to force - crashed into his important member on the body."

My poor rival, I was still enjoying the corporate competition with him the other day and now he is – tch tch!

What kind of resentment can do this to him?

My poor rival!
