An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori Chapter 1371-“Wow! That’s amazing! He could make the paper crane fly?” “Is this the occult expert they were talking about? This is truly impressive!” The display by Theodore left the Welch family in awe. They’d only heard about such things in stories but had never seen them in real life. “What do you think? Now, do you believe in Sir Crane’s abilities?” Ezra said proudly.
“Wow, that’s what you call a true master!” Alistair exclaimed with a newfound respect. He thought, “If Dad is truly under some sort of spell, then only someone with extraordinary abilities could cure him.” “But it’s just a simple trick, really, nothing much,” Theodore remarked casually, appearing humble.
“The crane trick we just saw is just a small part of his skills. Sir Crane has more in store for us. Let’s eagerly await the next performance,” Ezra added.
“That’s great.” Alistair nodded with a smile. “Eleanor, you don’t need to worry. With Sir Crane here, Grandpa will be fine.” Ezra smiled smugly. But Eleanor responded dismissively with a huff and averted her gaze. Ezra looked embarrassed for a second but quickly covered it up.
Instead, he looked at Brooke and said nonchalantly, “Dr. Busch, I heard you mention that you know another occult expert. Is this person possibly more skilled than Sir Crane?” Ezra had been eyeing the Harmony Healers for a while, but Brooke’s resistance was a thorn in his side.
“Well…” Brooke hesitated, feeling cornered. “Sir Crane is unmatched in his mastery of the occult.” “If you’re not up to the task, there’s no need to be embarrassed that you can’t. We’ll leave Mr. Welch Senior’s strange sickness to Sir Crane,” Ezra said, implying that Brooke was inadequate.
Brooke furrowed his brow but quickly regained his composure. In the end, he said nothing since he knew he couldn’t afford to provoke someone of Ezra’s stature.
