Richest Mogul

Now was not the time to dwell on those thoughts.

Skylar knew that Joe's situation was urgent. The negative item had already begun to affect him.

If she wasn't mistaken, Joe's condition should be similar to Paul's.

For those with weak willpower, the sudden influx of memories would cause little pain-they'd quickly accept them. But for someone with Joe's resilience, the struggle to resist the invasive memories was agonizing. It felt as though his very essence was being ripped apart. Skylar sprang into action, grabbing a pen and swiftly drawing a seal on Joe's palm. The moment she finished, she sensed his condition stabilize. The influence of the negative item began to wane. Skylar wiped the sweat from her forehead just as Howard arrived.

He asked, "What's going on with Mr. Martin?"

He had just performed some checkups on Joe a few days ago. Joe's health had been excellent, and there were no major issues.

Skylar turned to Howard. "He came into contact with a negative item, and now it's affecting him. We need to step outside and talk. He requires a quiet environment to calm his mind." "Oh, okay."

Howard's expression became more serious after learning it was a negative item. He had just spoken with Paul over the phone, learning about the situation Paul had encountered a few days ago. Paul had come into contact with a similar negative item, and it had caused him to believe he had been reborn. He had developed strange, movie-like memories that didn't belong to him.

When Howard heard that, he thought it sounded fantastical. But now, seeing Joe's condition and observing Skylar's serious expression, he suddenly understood how harmful these negative items could be.

If such items controlled everyone, the world would descend into chaos. People would live in fabricated memories, abandoning reality entirely.

When they reached the living room, Skylar took a moment to drink half a glass of water to soothe her dry throat.

Howard, who was standing nearby, asked uneasily, "Who could be powerful enough to create such a negative item? Mr. Ziegler told me that several people now believe they underwent a rebirth. Hardly anyone can resist the illusion. Honestly, I'm terrified I might run into one of these I items myself."

He knew his limitations. His courage wasn't as great as Paul's, and his willpower wasn't as strong. He feared that he might fall under the control of a negative item as well, and he dreaded becoming the kind of person others would think was insane.

Although his thoughts were a bit paranoid, they weren't entirely unfounded.

"I'll give you a talisman later. If you do come into contact with one of these negative items, you'll know deep down that it's just an illusion. Then come find me." Skylar reassured him.

Howard let out a relieved breath. "Okay, okay. I don't want these bizarre things clouding my judgment."

Skylar checked the time. It would soon be dark, and Joe probably wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

"Joe's condition has stabilized. I'll wait for him to wake up. You don't have to worry," she said.

Howard nodded. "Alright. I'll head home. I recently moved, and my new place is closer to you. Just call me if anything happens, and I'll be there immediately." "Alright."noveldrama

After Howard left, Skylar stood alone

in the quiet Galaxy Villa, feeling az weight on her chest. Paul had been investigating the person behind the negative items, and there were already some leads.

It didn't seem to be someone she knew.

Over the past few days, she had been checking people she knew, but there were no red flags.
