They formed a circle around Cynthia and turned away.
James looked at Luther, “You. Turn away as well.”
“What are you trying to do?” Luther eyed him suspiciously.
James could not wait for the stubborn man to comply and began his treatment. He helped Cynthia up into a sitting position as he undid her dress reaching her waist.
“You-” Luther was about to explode with rage.
James snapped back testily, “Shut up!”
He reached for his back and produced a needle that had been prepared beforehand. He did not sanitize it before he stabbed it into Cynthia’s body.
This one action left Luther in shock.
James moved quickly and precisely. While Luther was lost in James’s fancy handwork, Cynthia already had numerous needles stuck in her body.
James went behind her and began massaging specific acupuncture points and veins.
Soon, a light mist seeped from the surface of the needles. The cold energy from her body was being drawn out.
Cynthia slowly regained consciousness.
Her body felt rather cold. She wanted to move but she could not muster the strength.
“Ah!”
Even when she noticed she had been undressed, her scream was weak and faint.
When James felt like the treatment had done its part, he began removing the needles. “Get up and put on your clothes.”
Cynthia got up swiftly, but she stumbled into James’ side as she still felt quite unwell.
James caught her waist in time to prevent her from falling on the floor again.
Cynthia looked up.
The face that filled her vision was a not very handsome, yet rather charming face inches away from hers. Her heart started to pound.
