Chapter 0079 Taiwan Star Sister W
Listening to Frank Fang, Kanzy hesitated. "I... I think I'll pass. My skills aren't sharp enough yet. Let's talk about this later."
Frank Fang chuckled darkly. "You should know, if I report you for what you did to Old Wu, even if they don't give you the death penalty, you'll be locked up for decades. By the time you get out, you can head straight for your senior citizen pension!"
Kanzy grew frantic. "But wasn't it you who asked me to do it?"
"Was it?" Frank Fang retorted. "Who can prove I asked for a curse on Old Wu? But your grimoires and that Lukyee skull prove exactly who cast it. Who do you think the authorities will believe?"
Kanzy fell silent. He bitterly regretted not learning how to break curses before casting them. Now, he had a "handle" held firmly by Frank Fang. Despite being under forty, the man was clearly a seasoned old fox. With no other choice, Kanzy agreed.
Frank Fang was smart. He knew that small change wouldn't make him rich. Recalling what Master Chen Gui had said, he set his sights on celebrities and socialites. In Taiwan, newspapers and magazines would run almost any advertisement for the right price. Frank Fang spent a significant sum placing ads in several high-circulation tabloids and gossip weeklies. The ads claimed that a "Southeast Asian Master" was living in seclusion in Xinpi, Pingtung, using a rare "Lukyee" as a ritual vessel to help people break curses, cast love spells, and boost career luck. He specifically noted that celebrities were welcome, total confidentiality was guaranteed, and money would be refunded if it failed. Consultations were free.
The effort paid off. A third-rate actress, who had played supporting roles in Taiwan for years, called Frank Fang to inquire about a "Love Curse." They met at a café in Pingtung. The actress was blunt: she was tired of the struggle to become famous. She had been seeing the son of a wealthy Taiwanese tycoon for six months and desperately wanted to marry into the family to secure her future. However, the tycoon's son was constantly surrounded by beautiful women, and her chances were slim. She asked if Frank Fang had a way and what it would cost.
Frank Fang assured her a solution existed. Love curses were the Master's specialty. The price: 100,000 NTD. "If it actually works, 100,000 isn't much," she said. "But how can I trust you?"
"You pay half upfront and the rest when it's done," Frank Fang said.
The actress countered, "How do I know you're not scammers who will run with the money?" Frank Fang suggested, "Provide your birth details, and I'll have the Master cast a curse to make you fall seriously ill. Then you'll believe us." She waved her hands in refusal but offered the details of another woman—her rival, who had stolen many of her roles.
Frank Fang agreed. After getting the target's info, he and Kanzy traveled from Pingtung to Taipei. With the skull in his backpack, they stalked the target at a high-end mall. When the woman began trying on clothes, Kanzy pulled the backpack to his chest. He reached inside to press his hand against the skull, chanting in a low voice, while his right hand surreptitiously scattered ritual ashes (the remains of burnt charms) onto the woman's clothes.
The result was immediate. That night, the woman developed a high fever that didn't break for ten days. She nearly suffered brain damage and couldn't act for over six months. The actress was thrilled and convinced. She immediately paid the initial 50,000 NTD and urged them to cast the love curse.
In their hotel, Frank Fang and Kanzy plotted the best approach. They decided not to target the wealthy son directly but to work through the actress. Kanzy mixed "Love Curse Water" according to his grimoires, empowered it with the Lukyee, and gave it to the actress in a small glass dropper. He told her to find an opportunity to kiss the tycoon's son, having applied the water to her lips or tongue beforehand.
The actress left with the fluid. Before she went, Frank Fang warned her to pay the balance once successful, or she would face the consequences. Having seen their power, she promised she wouldn't dare double-cross them.
From then on, Frank Fang scoured the gossip rags. Days later, several papers reported that the tycoon's son—who usually changed girlfriends like clothes—had suddenly become devoted to this third-rate actress. Kanzy was ecstatic. "I didn't think the Lukyee was this powerful!"
Half a month later, the weeklies reported on a massive public brawl between the tycoon's other girlfriends and the actress. The son initially told the press he was considering a breakup. However, the actress then leaked that she was pregnant, swearing the child was his. Caught in a corner, the son tried to distance himself, but the tycoon father insisted he take responsibility. Within half a month, they had a "shotgun wedding." A photo of the actress flaunting a massive diamond ring hit the front pages.
The actress kept her word and paid Frank Fang the remaining 50,000 NTD.
The two split the money. Frank Fang treated Kanzy to days of luxury in Taipei, including expensive food and drink. He even offered to find girls for him, but the shy Kanzy refused. This successful "opening act" delighted them both. To Kanzy, 50,000 NTD was enough to eat well in the village for two years. But Frank Fang was a man who had seen the world. He wasn't satisfied with a sum equivalent to only about 10,000 RMB. His goal wasn't third-rate starlets; it was the true A-listers.
Fate has its own momentum. Just as Frank Fang was wondering how to break into the elite circle of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, a famous actress found him. Her fame far eclipsed the previous client. Let's call her Sister W. She was a veteran of film and television, famous for playing calculating socialites or wealthy wives. At her peak five or six years prior, she had married a local Taiwanese billionaire.
On the surface, Sister W had it all. But in show business, there is always a new generation of beautiful, young girls. Her status at the TV station was becoming unstable. She knew she was aging and couldn't act forever. Most worrying was that her husband's affection seemed to be wavering; she suspected an affair but hadn't caught him yet.
Sister W had no real friendship with the third-rate actress, but seeing the girl successfully maneuver herself into a wealthy marriage through pregnancy made her curious. Rumors were circulating that the girl had used "mysterious means." Sister W was convinced there was an inside story, so she set aside her pride and found a way to approach the girl.
The actress was flattered that a star like Sister W would associate with her. It didn't take long for her to reveal the existence of Frank Fang and Kanzy. Stunned that such a powerful Master was hidden in the countryside, Sister W reached out.
The meeting was arranged through a middleman. They asked if there was a spell to lock a man's heart forever and if the transaction could be anonymous. Frank Fang put on an air of arrogance. "No. Honesty is the minimum requirement. No matter how big a star you are, you're just an ordinary person to the Master. We must know who the client is and the specific goal, or you can go elsewhere. We aren't the only Masters in the world."
The middleman pleaded, "It's not a lack of sincerity. Sister W is very famous. The paparazzi live for this kind of news. If it leaks, it would be a disaster."
"We won't leak it," Frank Fang said. "And you must not leak it either. If you do, it won't just be a tabloid headline—it will be a curse on your own head."
Impressed and intimidated, the middleman nodded and asked about the price. Frank Fang demanded 500,000 NTD, paid in full upfront, with no room for negotiation. The middleman was shocked. "You only charged that other actress 100,000. Why is it so much higher now? Is it just because Sister W is famous?"
