While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Over the next few days, Cao Kun would call Amanda every day.

However, Amanda's life continued as usual, and nothing unfortunate happened.

On the contrary, because she landed one of the female leads in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," she made appearances in some media outlets.

This made her career even better.

Amanda even asked Cao Kun if he wouldn't be unlucky this time.

But Cao Kun became increasingly worried.

The most terrifying bomb is the one that doesn't explode.

You don't know when it will explode, nor do you know how powerful it is.

Cao Kun had a vague feeling that the consequences of this bomb might be very serious.

Time passed day by day, and Amanda still didn't encounter any unfortunate accidents.

Time flies, and August has arrived again.

During this period, Cao Kun also held several transfer ceremonies specifically for Megan.

Oh, and Miranda, the widow, has also received many blessings from Cao Kun.

Of course, Amanda was also firing on all cylinders frequently.

More than a month has passed, and the thing Cao Kun was worried about has not happened.

This surprised even Cao Kun.

Alternatively, Amanda won the role entirely on her own merits this time, without using the luck charm.

Either way, this time it has to be a big one.

October 16th, 5 PM.

Amanda called again.

She complained on the phone, "What a bad day! I ran into a crazy old woman."

Bad luck!

Cao Kun immediately became wary: "What exactly is it?"

Amanda: "I went to an event today, and when I got off the bus, an old lady bumped into me. At first, I didn't think much of it, but then I found that my bag was scattered all over the ground. When I checked again, my wallet was gone."

"I immediately called the police, and maybe my identity helped a little, because the police found the old woman very quickly."

"I got my wallet back from the old lady. My ID and bank cards were still there, but the thousands of dollars in cash were gone."

"The police advised me to let it go, saying she was too old and looked pitiful."

"I know the police are afraid that something might go wrong during her arrest and they would be held responsible."

"I could tell she was quite old, so I had no choice but to accept my bad luck and agree not to pursue the matter further."

"After the police left, I was about to leave as well. But just then, the old woman suddenly stopped me and said that she was having financial difficulties and asked me to give her some more money."

"I'm not crazy, why would I give her money? I'm leaving immediately."

"But she suddenly knelt down before me and still demanded money from me."

"I flatly refused her, but she got angry and even tried to arrest me."

"If I hadn't dodged quickly, she would have caught me."

"Damn it, tell me, is this old woman crazy? She stole my money and then came to ask me for more. When I refused, she got even angrier than I did. She has absolutely no sense of shame."

"I'm so unlucky."

After listening to Amanda's complaints, Cao Kun also felt that the old woman was a bit crazy.

No, she wasn't crazy, she was just wicked; she felt that everyone should offer her help.

If you don't help her, you'll become her enemy.

There are indeed such people in society, and quite a few at that.

Amanda asked, "Damn, is this just my bad luck?"

"Perhaps," Cao Kun asked. "Are you injured? Was she scratching you?"

"No," Amanda said. "She's so old, she definitely can't move as fast as me."

Cao Kun: "You lost more than $1000 and a bag."

It wasted a lot of time, affected my work, and I even got a bit of a fright. It sounds like I had a really bad day.

Amanda: "If my bad luck can just pass like this, then I can accept it."

"I hope so," Cao Kun said.

But for some reason, Cao Kun always felt that this matter was not so simple.

Sure enough, the very next day, Amanda suddenly called: "Damn, I'm in trouble."

Cao Kun's expression hardened: "What is it?"

Amanda's tone was both worried and frightened: "I keep seeing maggots and flies, these disgusting things, in my food."

I also had a nosebleed, it was quite severe.

I also sensed something in my house; there was always something moving on its own in the kitchen.

Cao Kun's heart sank. Sure enough, this matter was not only not simple, but it was also heading towards the supernatural.

"You stay home and wait, don't go out. I'm coming to find you now."

Cao Kun hung up the phone and rushed to Amanda's house.

Shortly after, Cao Kun's car stopped outside Amanda's house.

He took out his keys and went into Amanda's house.

Upon entering, I saw a pile of blood-stained tissues on the floor.

Amanda was huddled on the sofa, hugging her knees and looking distressed, with two crumpled pieces of paper stuffed up her nose.

Upon seeing Cao Kun, Amanda's eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped off the sofa and rushed over.

"Wait a minute."

Cao Kun raised his hand to stop her, and went to the kitchen first, without sensing any eerie atmosphere.

Cao Kun then returned to the living room.

Amanda immediately rushed over and threw herself into Cao Kun's arms, instantly feeling a strong sense of security.

The fear in my heart disappeared a lot at once.

"Um?"

Cao Kun didn't feel anything in the kitchen, but he sensed a strange power emanating from Amanda.

Cao Kun pushed Amanda away a bit, observed carefully, and confirmed that he was right.

"This is the power of a curse." Cao Kun's expression darkened. "You've been cursed."

Cao Kun was very familiar with this curse power.

Previously, Tanisa and her husband had caused him considerable trouble using this very tactic.

Amanda now clearly possesses this power.

"curse?"

Amanda's face turned deathly pale: "Was it that old woman from yesterday?"

"Possibly," Cao Kun said in a deep voice. "A curse needs a medium. When you took the wallet, did anything else fall into her hands?"

"Probably not."

Amanda took out her wallet, removed everything from it, and carefully checked it.

"Nothing was missing except for the cash. Could that cash also be cursed?"

Cao Kun: "Normally not, unless there are some special circumstances, such as if it's stained with your blood."

Amanda: "No, it was just ordinary cash, nothing else."

"Then it's not cash, it's something else."

Cao Kun thought for a moment: "You said before that she arrested you yesterday?"

Amanda: "Yes, but I dodged it, and she didn't catch me."

Cao Kun: "She didn't touch you at all?"

Amanda recalled, "It seems like she grabbed my clothes."

Cao Kun: "Which clothes did you wear yesterday? Take your clothes out and let me see them."

"The shirt I wore yesterday should be in the washing machine."

Amanda quickly went to the laundry room and soon came out with a shirt.

Cao Kun took it and glanced at it, his brows furrowing immediately: "There's a button missing, didn't you notice?"

Following the direction Cao Kun was pointing, Amanda then realized that a button was indeed missing.

Amanda: "I didn't realize it. I took it off and put it in the washing machine when I got home."

Cao Kun: "It seems that the other party used this button to curse you."

Amanda's face paled even more: "Then what should we do?"

Cao Kun: "The simplest way to break a curse is to find its source. As long as the person who cast the curse is found, it can be lifted."

Amanda was both scared and angry: "That damned old woman, I know where she lives, let's go find her."
