Madam Wang frowned slightly. She was also deep in thought. Although she was very angry, her anger was mostly directed at Master Fang’s attitude and his words.

If this incident were to lead to a fallout with the Cui family, it would truly be unworthy. This was originally a minor issue, not something that should escalate to such a degree. Besides, Master Cui had personally come to apologize.

"Alright, I will give Master Cui this face and not stoop to the level of that boy."

"Thank you, Madam Wang, for your magnanimity. Once I return, I will duly restrain my servants, so our families’ relationship won’t be affected by such trivial matters."

At this point,

Madam Wang chuckled softly.

"I heard that boy has some skills, possessing supernatural abilities to heal others. He cured your daughter and also the Liu family’s daughter. It shows he indeed has some talent. Just don’t understand why he acted this way."

Master Cui replied.

"Even if Madam Wang is confused, so am I. Our family is at least part of the High Class Divine Race. Having him as a Guest Elder in our Cui family isn’t demeaning at all."

"Then does he have other motives?"

"Perhaps."

"The Divine Race interactions have always been candid, yet someone like him appeared in our Divine Race. It’s an outright insult to our race’s genes and character," Madam Wang seemed to vent.

"Madam Wang’s words are indeed reasonable."

Just at this moment,

The steward of the Wang family slowly entered.

First, he greeted Master Cui courteously, then candidly said, "Madam Wang, that so-called Master Fang has already left the Cui family."

"Left?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Yes. I inquired with the Cui family’s steward, who said Master Cui had expelled him. Master Cui was also present and reiterated not to fault anyone for my surveillance of this person, to prevent any overreaction."

Master Cui interjected:

"It’s no big deal. It’s only natural you’d keep an eye on someone like him, with his improper intentions towards Young Master Wang Duo. I had already expelled him before I came here."

Madam Wang nodded.

The frustration in her heart completely dissipated.

"However, before he left, he mentioned that he hadn’t cursed Madam Wang, but predicted something would happen to her within 7 days," the steward added.

"..."

Bringing up irrelevant matters at inopportune times.

At this point, that person is still stubborn to the end, speaking defiantly.

Hearing this, Madam Wang suddenly slammed the table.

With a bang.

"Truly infuriating."

"Madam Wang, don’t be angered by people like him. Getting upset and harming your health isn’t worth it."

"Master Cui. Since that boy is no longer your family’s Guest Elder, does anything I do to him have nothing to do with your family?" asked Madam Wang.

Everyone could clearly sense Madam Wang’s utter anger, and it seemed substantial.

Many knew that in this social circle, Madam Wang was notorious for her pettiness, to an extreme degree that deterred anyone from offending her. Even the smallest, negligible matters could send her into a rage.

"Of course, it has nothing to do with me."

"Good. Whether you send a team to capture him and hand him over to the Orderer under the accusation of insulting a High Class Divine family and exile him to another Order Planet."

"Yes."

...

The steward of the Wang family, leading others, hurriedly headed outside.

This left Master Cui somewhat awkward, but having already expelled Fang Yu from the Cui family, there was no longer any connection. Even if Madam Wang acted against him, he had no authority to intervene.

Master Cui hadn’t anticipated that Madam Wang could be so petty. Regardless, Fang Yu had saved his daughter; he was a lifesaver. Losing his life over this incident, or being demoted to another Order Planet, seemed overly harsh.

Life and death have their own destiny, wealth and rank are ordained by heaven. It could only be said he was unfortunate.

At this moment,

Madam Wang suddenly started coughing.

The coughs were persistent.

At first, it was just a couple of light coughs.

Cough cough.

Cough cough cough.

Cough cough cough...

The coughing intensified, gradually becoming loud, clearly indicating breathlessness.

Excessive and continuous coughing could lead to asphyxiation.

The color of Madam Wang’s face turned bright red.

"Madam Wang?"

"What’s happening to Madam Wang?"

The surrounding Divine Race members, including the Wang family, were astonished. Just a moment ago, she was fine, animatedly angry with a strong voice.

But how long had it been?

In just a few breaths, her condition drastically changed.

"Quick, get the doctor. Quickly..."

Young Master Wang Duo hurried over, supporting his mother with great concern.

He was equally bewildered, utterly clueless about what had happened to his mother.

Suddenly, he recalled Fang Yu’s words, that Madam Wang would meet her fate within 7 days. Immediately, his heart felt pricked like a needle.

It felt like an invisible curse had bound them, difficult to believe, yet reluctantly desired not to see realized.

Soon.

A doctor from the High Class Divine Race rushed over.

Everyone stepped aside.

By the time the doctor arrived, Madam Wang was still violently coughing.

And the severity increased.

The doctor set his case down.

And began the examination.

Utilizing various advanced diagnostic tools and listening devices to monitor her cardiovascular response.

One by one, the examinations proceeded.

As the examination continued,

Madam Wang’s complexion deteriorated further.

Compared to before the coughing, it was like night and day, as if she were a different person.

In the hall, Master Cui watched all this in bewilderment. He hadn’t expected things to turn this way, so quickly.

Nonetheless, he had witnessed Madam Wang’s misfortune firsthand, and propriety demanded he should at least notify her before leaving, thus he could only stand aside observing.

"Doctor, what is my mother’s condition?" Wang Duo asked.

"Young Master Wang, after thorough examination, Madam Wang’s pulse and internal state are extremely chaotic, but I can’t determine the cause."

"Can’t determine the cause? How is that possible?"

"Young Master, it’s best you consult another expert, as I really can’t find the reason. However, I can confirm that Madam Wang’s condition is dire, and if untreated within 7 days, it may rapidly worsen, and by then, even higher authorities might not be able to save her."

"What did you say? Repeat that!?" Wang Duo’s eyes widened.

They all heard that keyword. Within 7 days.

Suddenly, they all remembered who had once warned them, Master Fang.
