With a thought, Damien sent back his consciousness, and he again felt his senses going blind as if his consciousness was being pulled out of his body.
Within a moment, he opened his eyes to see that he was lying on the bed.
"Wew, for a moment, I thought I would get stuck in his body forever," Damien mumbled as he got up.
Luna mentally said, "Now you have discovered another gobsmacking ability of Shackles Of Death."
Damien replied in quiet amazement, "Yep. After my recent soul cultivation breakthrough, I felt confident of trying my idea, and fortunately, it worked."
Damien saw that Luke was still kneeling on the floor and knew that Luke wouldn't get up without his command.
"Rise. Remember to act like you always do and try to be more friendly with Roy Clive." Damien commanded.
Luke got up as he bowed deeply, "Of course, Master. Your wish is my command."
Damien nodded in satisfaction as he removed the barrier. Luke's expression returned to his usual self. But he had a respectful expression just as he would have if he were standing before an exalted senior.
Damien opened the doors and saw Nouel and Ilena standing anxiously. Their faces spirited up when they saw Damien coming out.

However, when they saw the figure behind Damien, their faces had shocked and astonished expressions.
Their jaws slacked as they slowly approached Luke with an expression of disbelief.
Luke said with a jubilant smile, "Mother, Father, I am fully healed. It's all thanks to Senior Azrael. Even I can't believe how miraculously I got cured."
"This...how...there is not even a single scratch left on your body," Nouel muttered in disbelief, and he even inspected Luke's manhood. His brows raised as he sensed that even that was completely healed.
Ilena, too had the same feeling as she couldn't even in her dreams imagine Luke recovering so fast. The only thing they could hope for was to stake most of their wealth on buying the Rank 7 Profound Healing Pill.
But even if it could heal Luke, they had no idea how many years it would take before it is even available in the market.
However, now there was no need of all that as Luke was standing healthy and well before their eyes. It didn't seem as if he was bedridden just a while ago.
Ilena then slowly turned towards Damien with tears in her eyes.
"Senior Azrael, thank you so much!" She tried to touch Damien's feet, but he stopped her.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"Please don't, Ms.Lester. I did this to make sure my disciple's karma does not come back to bite her."
'Sigh, he has such a caring and spoiling mother, but I guess that's exactly why he became hopeless.' Damien inwardly sighed in pity thinking why the wrong people got such caring mothers.
Nouel said with admiration, "Even so, Senior Azrael was able to do something that no other doctors could. I can't believe you had such profound medical skills. Please don't hesitate to ask us what you need. Even if you ask us something, we would be forever indebted to you."
Damien said in a cool tone, "No need. I already said I don't need any compensation."
Nouel said in an adamant tone, "No, that is not right. I can't rest easy without compensating for your hard work, no matter the reason. Senior Azrael, please don't make us look ungrateful."
Damien sighed as he said casually, "Fine, give whatever you think is right."
Nouel felt satisfied that Damien finally decided to accept his gratitude. How could he let go of such a valuable connection? If he doesn't repay him, he was sure that Damien wouldn't even turn to look at him next time.
He had to create an impression so that Damien would have a good opinion of them. Even if Valentina almost killed his son, he now had no qualms about it as Luke was standing healthy and well.
Besides, he knew that Alchemist Azrael came here of his own will to right his disciple's wrongs. He had never seen such a responsible master. Nor had he seen someone who would take responsibility for these things, especially someone with a prominent status. They would, in fact, try to reverse the blame and pin it all on the victim.
He wondered if Damien was such a kind-hearted soul despite how distant he seems. He inwardly started feeling immense respect and admiration for Damien.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})He couldn't imagine how skillful Damien must be for him to heal Luke entirely within just a couple of minutes. He thought he had to repay Damien without being stingy unless he wanted to be looked down upon.
He ordered his servant through his messaging talisman subtly and commanded his son, "Luke, how can you not show your gratitude to Senior Azrael after everything he has done to you? Quickly kowtow to him and accept his blessings."
Luke hurriedly dropped on his knees, and in an extremely subservient manner, he said, "Senior Azrael, thank you so much for healing this unworthy one. I will forever be in your debt."
Damien nodded in a sagely manner, "Hmm, you can rise, son."
Soon enough, a servant came rushing in with a ring in his hand. He deeply bowed as he offered the ring to Nouel.
Nouel took the ring from his hand and offered it to Damien, "Senior Azrael, please accept this spatial ring. It contains 1 million Blue Spirit Stones. I know it might probably be less for a man of your stature and the miraculous work you had done. But still, this is a form of our sincere gratitude. Please accept."
Nouel gave a slight bow as he offered the ring to Damien.
"1 million Blue Spirit Stones?? Damn, I guess I did underestimate their wealth."
After a brief moment, Damien accepted the ring. He was inwardly surprised that they would give away such a staggering amount of Blue Spirit Stones.
However, he knew that a Rank 7 Healing Pill would have at least cost millions of Blue Spirit Stones, and what he did was basically something a Rank 7 Healing Pill could have done.
Ilena was busy inspecting her son thoroughly and still felt as if this was all a dream. She never expected that a miracle would happen today.
"I will now take my leave then," Damien said in a gruff tone.
Nouel came forward, "Let me escort you, Senior Azrael."
As they walked outside, Nouel said in a cautious manner, "Senior Azrael, I suppose things are good between us, right? I know Luke was involved in a scuffle with your disciple's friend, and your disciple tried to defend her friend. I apologize on Luke's behalf."
Nouel was worried if Damien was here to settle all debts once and for all. But he didn't want that and instead wanted to develop further relations with Damien. He couldn't imagine the influence he would gain if he could form a friendly bond with Damien.
After all, Damien might already be working with some supreme existences and have them as his backers. Even without considering that, he heard how Damien is at the Peak Level of the Heaven Ethereal Realm. If he happens to breakthrough into the Profond Ethereal Realm, he would be having a Profound Ethereal Realm expert as a connection.
But most of all, he was hoping to get some exclusive Supreme Tier Pills from Damien at a lesser cost. He guessed that Damien must have fed Luke a Supreme Tier Pill with miraculous healing effects.
Not only that, he was wondering the miraculous effects other Supreme Tier Pills would have for breakthrough and not only healing.
He apologized not because he felt like it but because he thought it was necessary to get on Damien's good side.
Damien said in an aloof tone, "You only thought of apologizing now? Don't worry. Your son has atoned for his sins already."
Damien summoned Misty and quickly left, leaving behind a stupefied Nouel.
Nouel didn't understand what Damien meant, but he thought that Luke must have already apologized to him. However, when he saw Misty, he remembered how Alchemist Azrael was also rumored to be an expert beast tamer.
He sighed, thinking how many ethereal beasts Damien carries around in his beast bag and what all things he is good at.
He quickly hurried back inside his mansion to check again if Luke's 'future' was truly safe.
