Chapter 168: Unspeakable Secret

Isabella had a knack for seeing people differently than most. It was a natural talent, and she trusted her gut. The GhostHealer standing before her was Jeremy.

At first, she thought GhostHealer's beard was fake and tried to pull it off. To her surprise, it was real, thanks to VisageShift. Even the long white hair was genuine!

"Jeremy, is this what you really look like?" Isabella asked, eyeing him skeptically. If Jeremy was GhostHealer, then there was no Jeremy in the world. Could the man she dreamed of actually be GhostHealer? The thought made her wonder if she could fall for someone over a hundred years old.

Jeremy sighed, and then his white hair and beard began to retract right before her eyes. His face slowly morphed, revealing the short golden hair and familiar features of Jeremy.

This was the face Jeremy used in Sunrise, but it wasn't his true appearance. His real look was the one he had in Dreamville. Since he had met Isabella with his altered appearance, he naturally reverted to his Sunrise look.

Isabella's eyes widened in amazement. Anyone would be stunned to see such a magical transformation.

Jeremy said calmly, "I hope you won't tell anyone about this."

Isabella nodded eagerly, "Don't worry, I won't say a word. This is our secret!"

She felt a special bond with Jeremy now, sharing a secret she would never reveal, not even under threat of death.

Jeremy, back in his Sunrise appearance, treated Isabella. This made her feel more at ease; otherwise, being treated by an old man, even knowing it was Jeremy, would still feel weird.

In just a few minutes, Isabella walked out feeling refreshed, while Jeremy, back in the room, reverted to his GhostHealer appearance. The white hair and beard gave him an air of authority.

The remaining members of the Watson family were few, only about a dozen people. The children didn't need treatment and could just take medicine; it was the adults who needed healing.

Two hours later, everyone had been treated!

The last one was Owen, the current head of the Watson family. Naturally, he was the last to be treated.

Feeling the oppressive sensation in his body disappear, Owen, now full of energy, knelt on the ground excitedly, "Thank you for saving our lives. The Watson family can never repay this great kindness!"

"The Watson family can't provide the herbs you need, but we have some money. This card contains ten billion dollars. Please, don't refuse it!"

Owen had prepared this money long ago. The Watson family had nothing left but money!

As the only top-tier family in Sunrise, with assets worth billions, they could easily come up with ten billion in cash. However, this was all the liquid assets the Watson family had.

But giving it all to GhostHealer, Owen didn't feel any pain!

Without GhostHealer, the hereditary disease that plagued the Watson family for generations would continue, and who knows which generation would be the last.

GhostHealer's help was not just life-saving; it was a rebirth for the Watson family!

Even if GhostHealer wanted all the Watson family's assets, Owen would hand them over without a second thought.

Jeremy glanced at the bank card Owen offered. He didn't need the money, but if he refused the Watson family's gesture, they'd likely get suspicious.

Taking the card, Jeremy said, "Alright, since I have a connection with the Watson family, let's consider this settled."

He was trying to put Owen at ease, to keep him from overthinking the situation.

Owen quickly responded, "Your immense kindness to the Watson family will never be forgotten. We will pass it down through generations."

"These funds may not mean much to you, Mr. GhostHealer, but rest assured, as long as the Watson family exists in Sunrise, we will protect your only heir."

Owen wasn't naive. For a legendary figure like GhostHealer, money, wealth, assets, and beauty were of no interest.

GhostHealer, having lived over a hundred years, naturally wouldn't care about such things. What mattered to him was his life's work, his skills, and his legacy.

Jeremy was GhostHealer's student, so GhostHealer's greatest concern was surely Jeremy.

If not for Jeremy, would GhostHealer have come to the Watson Mansion?

This favor naturally had to be repaid to Jeremy.

Jeremy, disguised as GhostHealer, left after treating the Watson family and accepting Owen's ten billion dollars.

With GhostHealer gone, Jeremy naturally reappeared.

He reverted to his Jeremy appearance and arrived at the Watson Mansion shortly after GhostHealer left.

Upon arriving, Jeremy bluntly asked, "Where is he?"

Owen sighed inwardly, thinking that only Jeremy, GhostHealer's heir, would dare to be so disrespectful to GhostHealer. Jeremy must be deeply favored by GhostHealer.

Owen replied, "Mr. GhostHealer has already left."

Jeremy pretended to be annoyed, "Damn it, he rarely comes out, and he didn't even bring me a gift before leaving. Next time I see him, I'll pluck all his beard."

Hearing this, Isabella couldn't help but laugh. Watching Jeremy act was amusing; it was fun to see him play himself.

What happened today was enough to change the landscape of Sunrise.

Victor's death left the Brooks family too afraid to make any moves.

Claire, being associated with GhostHealer, could easily become the queen of Sunrise's underworld. Who would dare oppose her?

She didn't even need to act herself; she could just have Amos handle it.

Even though Amos was just an ordinary person with a few bodyguards, the underworld thugs would respect him upon hearing the news.

Only a few people knew about the changes in the underworld, as it didn't concern most ordinary people.

After his performance at the Watson Mansion, Jeremy's first stop was to find Claire.

Claire hadn't informed Jeremy about her actions today. Killing Victor was unexpected.

Victor breaking through to Grandmaster was also unexpected!

Jeremy had prepared the stage for someone else, but Claire's intervention was unforeseen.

However, it wasn't a bad thing. Jeremy had intended to reorganize the underworld.

The information he had gathered from Rick and Dana still bothered him!

The collaboration between the underworld and foreign crime groups was something Jeremy needed to investigate thoroughly, starting with Sunrise's underworld!
