Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1780

Before Ecker could even finish his sentence, the old man had completely absorbed Ecker into his body. The old man's body vibrated as a ball of energy swam around inside it, after which Ecker's bones were shaken out and scattered across the ground.

The old man let out a burp as if he had just finished a meal, before scoffing at Greg. "This sacrifice's far too old. Could you find me a younger one next time?"

Greg nodded profusely. "Yes, of course. Don't worry, Holy One, I'll find you a younger sacrifice next time. Oh, and can the sacrifices be restored to just once a year once the gloves are found?"

Sweat beaded on Greg's forehead as he spoke. Walton's family had only achieved their success and glory thanks to the Holy One transferring the luck from Albus' family to Walton's.

That was what led to the downfall of Albus' family and the rise of Walton's. As repayment, Walton's family had promised the Holy One to bring him a sacrifice each year.

However, Walton had accidentally angered the Holy One recently, causing the yearly sacrifice to be changed to a monthly basis.

Despite Walton's family doing well now, one sacrifice a year was already the limit that they had to exert their efforts to achieve. This change to a monthly sacrifice was well beyond what they were capable of.

If this went on, they would be exposed within a matter of a few months. Walton's family would come crashing down, and their reputation would be ruined.

Everything hinged on the gloves now, which meant that the Holy One might loosen the sacrifice requirement once they were found.
